Inter Milan 1 Barcelona 1: Barca made to wait for Champions League last-16

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.
