The second started competitively but veered heavily in the hosts’ favour at the Nou Camp as Hansi Flick’s men ran away 7-2 victors, winning the tie 8-3 on aggregate.

They cannot quite afford to give up this Champions League round of 16 second leg as a hopeless task, rest all key players and hope for a creditable performance.
