Barcelona come from behind to beat Slavia Prague | OneFootball

Barcelona moved closer to the Champions League top-eight with a 4-2 comeback win over Slavia Prague in their penultimate league-phase game.

Slavia took the lead in the 10th minute when Vasil Kusej bundled in a Tomas Holes corner. Barca responded through Fermin Lopez, who scored twice before half-time to make it 2-1.

Robert Lewandowski then inadvertently headed in an own goal from a corner to level the score at 2-2.

After the break, substitute Dani Olmo restored Barcelona’s lead in the 63rd minute with a curling effort into the top corner. Marcus Rashford provided the assist for Lewandowski to score the fourth, ensuring a 4-2 victory.

Barcelona, missing suspended Lamine Yamal, are now ninth in the table, level on points with several teams above them. Slavia Prague, with three points from seven matches, are eliminated from the competition.

Barca will host Copenhagen in their final league-phase game, needing a win and favourable results to finish in the top eight and avoid a February play-off.
