"Sixteen teams will be competing in the Champions League playoffs in February, but FC Barcelona will not be one of them. And that's all thanks to a marvellous 4-1 win against FC Copenhagen on the final day of the League Phase, meaning that they have finished among the top eight teams and will instead be going directly into the Last 16!"
"It's now 40. With his goal against Copenhagen, Robert Lewandowski has become the player to have scored against the greatest number of different opponents in the history of the UEFA Champions League, level with a Barça legend: Leo Messi. The Polish striker, now 37, shows no signs of slowing down in Europe's premier competition, as he once again demonstrated against the side from the Danish capital."
FC Barcelona beat FC Copenhagen 4-1 on the final day of the League Phase, finishing among the top eight teams and qualifying directly for the Champions League Last 16. One of PSG, Newcastle United, Monaco or Qarabag will be Barcelona's opponent in the knockout stage. Robert Lewandowski scored against Copenhagen to reach 40 different Champions League opponents scored against, equalling Lionel Messi's record. The 37-year-old striker showed no signs of slowing down in Europe's premier competition. Hansi Flick acknowledged the performance may not have been the best but noted the Last 16 objective was achieved and criticised the first-half display. The women's team produced behind-the-scenes content after winning the Spanish Super Cup.
