A Lionel Messi-inspired Barcelona booked their place in the Champions League knockout stages by crushing a desperate Borussia Dortmund 3-1, while RB Leipzig made the last 16 for the first time with an incredible stoppage time comeback.
Lucien Favre's position as Dortmund coach looks increasingly in peril following the thumping at the Camp Nou on Wednesday, orchestrated by a sensational Messi, that ensured Barca's progress to the last 16 as Group F winners and leaves the Germans in danger of not qualifying.
The Argentine scored one and set up the other two for Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann to inflict a punishing defeat on Dortmund and move up to 11 points, four ahead of the Germans and Inter Milan, who won 3-1 at Slavia Prague.
"He (Messi) was incredible," said Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde.
"It's all about what he does and when he does it. It was a performance to put us through."
"We are expecting a tough, great match, but we know that we can count on 80,000 people who will come to the stadium to push us on."
