Five talking points from Barcelona’s 4-2 win over Viktoria Plzen

Barcelona bowed out of the Champions League with a 4-2 win at Viktoria Plzen as the Czech side were beaten for the sixth time in six group games.

The game looked over as soon as Marcos Alonso poked Ansu Fati’s shot over the line after just six minutes but the hosts did rally which made for an entertaining dead rubber.

Xavi had made plenty of changes to his side with Franck Kessie, Pablo Torre, and Inaki Pena all handed starts along with Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba.

Ferran Torres looked to have ended the game as a contest when he made it 2-0, but some generous defending saw the two sides share six goals and Barca win 4-2.
