For the second year in a row, Spanish Barcelona failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League spring stage.
On October 26, a match of the 5th round of the tournament's group stage took place, in which Italy's Inter defeated Czech Viktoria Plzen (4-0) at home, depriving Barça of a chance to reach the playoffs.
Thus, regardless of the result of the Catalans' match against Bayern, the team has lost all chances to continue their fight in the Champions League, as they are behind Inter in terms of head-to-head encounters (0:1, 3:3).
