Inter Milan Ends Barcelona’s Hope of Champions League Knockout Stage.

Italian side Inter Milan secured their place in the Champions League knockout stage and sent Spanish Giant Barcelona into the Europa League with 4-0 victory over Viktoria Plzen.

Barcelona’s fate was already sealed before Xavi’s side lost 3-0 to Group C winners Bayern Munich at the Nou Camp.

Substitute Romelu Lukaku marked his return from a long-term injury with a late goal as Inter comfortably secured the win that sent them to the last 16.

Edin Dzeko scored twice after Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s opener in the 4-0 win, while Barcelona are guaranteed to finish third and compete in Europe’s second-tier competition for the second successive season.
