The Barcelona fell with him between in Italy 1-0 on matchday three of the 2022-2023 Champions League group stage and was left in an uncomfortable position thinking about qualifying for the last 16.
Half of this first round done, Xavi Hernandez’s team is in third place in Group C, with 3 pointsbehind Inter (6) and Bayern Munich (9) and only ahead of Viktoria Plzen, who close the region with no points.
What games do Barcelona have left in the Champions League group stage?
In the Barca It remains to play against the three opponents of the group. This is the match schedule:
- Wednesday, October 12 vs. Inter (at Camp Nou)
- Wednesday, October 26 vs. Bayern Munich (at Camp Nou)
- Tuesday, November 1 vs. Viktoria Plzen (away)
As you can see, there are some pros and cons. On the one hand, it receives the two strongest opponents on its own field. On the other hand, the weaker opponent will only play in the last game, when the possible victory could not serve depending on what happens in the other games.
What does Barcelona need to pass the round and qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League 2022-2023?
If Barcelona win all three of their games, they will need Inter (who would he beat in this hypothetical scenario) do not add the remaining 6 points. That would be enough for him to move on. In case the Italians beat Bayern and Victoria in the other matches, goal difference will be entered (after the third meeting both are +1).
If Barcelona win two games and nobody is against Inter, I would need Inter win none of their games or win at most one to determine the position on goal difference.
If Barcelona win a single game, they will need Inter to lose all of their games.
If Barcelona do not win any game, they will be automatically eliminated. because at most it could reach 6 points (with 3 draws) and one of them was against Inter, which would already be unattainable.
