Barcelona’s defeat to Inter leaves the Catalans in trouble in Group C and suddenly facing the very real prospect of dropping into the Europa League for a second straight season.
Xavi’s already made it clear how he feels Barcelona have been given the worst possible draw in the Champions League and Inter made his fears come true with a hard-fought win.
Barcelona started brightly, as they did against Bayern, and dominated possession but Inter always looked the more dangerous and took home all three points.
That’s now three straight defeats away from home in the Champions League for Barcelona and no goals scored in any of those games either.
