Barcelona's Champions League campaign has been one of contrasting highs and lows.

But it's more of the latter which threatens to send Hansi Flick's side into the play-offs after they fell behind to Slavia Prague in Wednesday's penultimate league phase clash.

Sloppy defending allowed the hosts to open the scoring through Vasil Kušej, which set a new club record for the Blaugrana in Europe's elite club competition.

It's the first time that the Spanish champions have shipped goals in ten consecutive European encounters with the run starting in last season's semi-final loss to Inter.

Will Barça's porous defence be their great undoing for automatic qualification?
