Barcelona edged PSV with goals from Lionel Messi and Gerard Pique to secure a first place finish in Group B, making the last game against Tottenham a mere formality. PSV scored a consolidation goal late with Luuk de Jong spoiling the clean sheet.
With the injury bug in full swing in Barcelona, Ernesto Valverde was forced to field an XI without Sergi Roberto, Samuel Umtiti, Arthur and Luis Suarez. Rafinha and Jasper Cillessen were also new to the injury list but neither was likely to start. Ivan Rakitiu0107 and Philippe Coutinho, however, did receive the medical all-clear in time for kickoff.
