No miracle for Barcelona. Barcelona drew 3-3 with Inter in the fourth match of Group C and is on the brink of elimination from the Champions League. The Catalan team needed to win to keep their chances of reaching the round of 16, but the result at the Spotify Camp Nou left them with one foot in the Europa League.
After the match, the Italian team players celebrated the draw with great enthusiasm against Xavi Hernández's team. One of the happiest was Lautaro Martínez, who shared his favorite moments of the match in a post on his Instagram account.
By the time this note was written, the 'Toro's' post had received over 180,000 likes, but one of the most notable interactions came from Lionel Messi. Although they are teammates in the Argentine national team and it could be considered a normal situation, the reaction of the PSG forward caused controversy among Barcelona fans, as they believed it was not an appropriate attitude after the tough result obtained by his former team.

Barcelona depends on Viktoria Plzen
After earning four points in four matchdays, the culé team needs to win their last two games and hope that the neroazzurri fail to earn three points against Viktoria Plzen and Bayern in order to qualify for the Champions League round of 16.
The major obstacle for Barza is that, in the next matchday, Inter will play at home against Plzen and a victory at San Siro would give them direct qualification. Therefore, the Spaniards depend on a good result from the Czech team to secure the last ticket to the next stage.
