"Barcelona climbed to within touching distance of the Champions League top-eight places after coming from behind to beat Slavia Prague 4-2 in their penultimate game of the league phase. Knowing they needed a win to keep their hopes of automatically reachiing the last 16 alive, Barca surprisingly went behind early on through Vasil Kusej but Fermin Lopez scored twice to make it 2-1, before a Robert Lewandowski own goal levelled the game again before half-time."
"But after the break, a goal from substitute Dani Olmo restored the visitors' advantage before Lewandowski made up for his own goal by scoring at the right end to seal the victory. Hansi Flick's side end the night in a much more favourable position to how they started as they sit ninth in the standings, level on points with a host of teams above them ahead of a favourable last game of the league phase at home to FC Copenhagen."
