Group F

Qualified as Group Winner: Barcelona (11 points)

Group F was touted as the group of death by many when the draw was made. Barcelona however, overcame those reports and booked their place in the round of 16 as group winners with one match to spare. A 3-1 victory over Dortmund saw Barcelona not only qualify, but also emerge as group toppers.

Inter Milan (7 points) and Dortmund (7 points) are left battling for the second qualifying spot. Since both are on the same number of points, it's a must for both the teams to win their final game. If both sides end up with the equal amount of points, then Inter will qualify based on a better head-to-head record against Dortmund.

Slavia Praha (2 points) are confirmed to finish 4th in the group.
