BARCELONA are in need of three points against Bayern Munich to stand any chance of progressing to the Champions League last-16.
The Spanish giants were on the verge of crashing out in San Siro when Robin Gosens drilled home what looked to be an Inter Milan winner.
But Robert Lewandowski's late double ensured that Barcelona could live to fight another day.
However, Xavi's side face an uphill task of needing to beat table topping Bayern – who they have already lost to in this campaign.
And the Catalonians will also need to hope that rock-bottom Viktoria Plzen somehow manages to pull off a shock result in Milan.
