Champions League: What do Barcelona need to qualify for the last 16?

Barcelona take on Porto on Tuesday in the Champions League with qualification for the knockout stages still up for grabs in Group H.

Barca missed the chance to qualify last time out when they suffered a surprise defeat to Shakhtar, meaning they’ve been joined at the top of the group by Porto on nine points.

Shakhtar are just three points behind, and face whipping boys Antwerp next, meaning an intriguing final few games await in Europe’s premier club competition.

The Catalans have failed to get out of the group stages in recent seasons, making it imperative they do not fail again this time around.
