Requirements for Barcelona to advance to the Round of 16 following their draw with Inter Milan
Wednesday’s match between Barcelona and Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League ended with a goal from Robert Lewandowski in the last seconds. But with two games remaining and the Blaugrana in third place in their group, it will take more than a miracle for them to advance to the Round of 16.
Bayern Munich currently leads the group after earning all four of their possible points in the opening four games. Inter Milan and Barcelona are competing for the final qualification berth, but the Nerazzurri are the favorites because they have 7 points and lead Barcelona by 3 points.
It is still feasible for Barcelona to pass them, but in order to do so, they must win their final two games and hope the Nerazzurri lose both of their remaining two. At this point, all Inter Milan have to do to advance is win their upcoming home game against Vikoria Plzen.
