Round of 16: Inter Stops Barca’s Qualification

 

  • Inter Milan 1-1 Barcelona
  • Icardi levels for Inter (86)
  • Malcom breaks deadlock (83)
  • No Messi for Barca
  • Champions League

 

Barcelona were made to wait to qualify for the last-16 of the Champions League with two games to spare as they drew 1-1 with Inter Milan at San Siro.

Substitute Malcom struck a fine low effort 83 minutes in, but Inter hit back through Mauro Icardi with three minutes to spare.

A win would have confirmed Barca’s progress to the knockout stages, but a draw coupled with Tottenham’s late win against PSV Eindhoven means the Spanish giants need one more point to be absolutely sure of qualification.

The result was a boost to Tottenham, whose last hope of reaching the last-16 rests on catching the second-placed Italians.

That will be easier said than done for Spurs despite the win over PSV, as Mauricio Pochettino’s men must still realistically beat Inter and avoid a loss against Barca to qualify.
