Barcelona could drop down to the Europa League following a
thrilling 3-3 draw with Inter Milan at the Nou Camp in Wednesday’s
Champions League Group C fixture.
Inter were leading twice at Camp Nou only to be pegged back by a
Robert Lewandowski brace, but the point still gives them a big
advantage in the battle to reach the Champions League Round of
16.
All Inter have to do is beat Viktoria Plzen in the next game at
home and they will mathematically be in the knockouts.
Barcelona opened scoring on 40 minutes as Raphinha and Sergi
Roberto combined down the right side of the by-line to pull back
for Dembele’s tap-in.
In the 50th minute Inter equalized. Alessandro Bastoni’s inspired
ball was floated over the top, Gerard Pique waved his arms to
assure Ter Stegen was covered, not realising Barella was right
behind him ready to control and fire into the roof of the net from
six yards.
On 63 minutes Inter went 2-1 ahead thanks to Lautaro Lautaro
Martinez, who chested down a Calhanoglu ball over the top and
shrugged off Eric Garcia to fire in off the inside of the near
post.

With eight minutes left Barcelona equalise when Stefan de Vrij’s
poor clearance fell straight to Robert Lewandowski to drill past
Onana.
However, Inter went 3-2 ahead in the 89th minute through Robin
Gosens who slammed home Martinez’s cross.
There was still time for Barcelona to get back on level terms again
with Lewandowski’s towering header on an Eric Garcia cross to make
it 3-3 on 92 minutes.
Kristjan Asllani had the chance to win it again deep into
stoppages, sent clear by Martinez only to be denied by an
out-stretched Ter Stegen foot, while with the last kick of the game
a Gosens diving header was palmed round the near post.
In Scottish Liverpool hammered Rangers 7-1 with Mohamed Salah
scoring the fastest hat-trick in the history of the Champions
League.
After coming on in the 68th minute Salah scored on 76, 80 and 81
minutes to strengthen Liverpool’s chance of progressing into the
knockout stage.
The Reds are second in Group A on nine points, just three points
behind Napoli who are already through to the next stage.
And in other results Zaidu Sanusi’s Porto beat Leverkusen 3-0 away,
Viktoria Plzen lost 4-2 to Bayern, Marseille beat Sporting Lisbon
2-0 and Tottenham Hotspur edged Frankfurt 3-2.
