Barcelona through to the last sixteen

Barcelona qualified for the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday after a compelling 1-1 draw at Internazionale where a late leveler from Mauro Icardi disrupted Barça’s perfect record in this season’s competition.

Icardi, a former Barça youth player, swiveled to smash the ball home in the 87th minute, not long after Malcom appeared to have snatched a late winner for the Catalan club by scoring his first goal for the club just after coming off the bench.

Barça were still without Lionel Messi through injury but were the better side for most of a game that was high on intensity but lacking in quality until an electrifying final 10 minutes at a rocking San Siro.

Barca top Group B with 10 points after four games, Inter are second with seven while Tottenham are third on four and PSV are bottom and out of the competition with one.
