Let us take a look at Barcelona’s player ratings from the Inter Milan match after they sealed qualification into the round of 16 stage.

Barcelona sealed qualification into the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League following their draw in Italy, by a 1-1 against Inter Milan. The Catalans certainly deserved more at the San Siro but poor conversion of their chances while on the attack cost them two points and still left the top spot open in group B.

Malcom was on target in his first UEFA Champions League on the 83rd minute of proceedings. The 21-year-old slotted the ball well past Handanovic to give the Catalans a lead, but the 25-year-old Mauro Icardi displayed his dangerous nature in the box and finished a chance for Inter to help them salvage a 1-1 draw.

Barcelona host Real Betis on Sunday evening and will probably have Lionel Messi ready for that game. But first, let us have a look at their player ratings from the game versus Inter Milan.

Goalkeeper- Marc Andre Ter Stegen- 5.5/10

Marc Andre Ter Stegen had a lackluster night and looked slightly under confidence when there were balls coming towards him. The 26-year-old was not his usual self in the San Siro and showed signs of being flustered. When Inter were playing on crosses, Marc waited in between the sticks rather than coming forward to collect and seemed zoned out from an overall point of view. Mauro Icardi scored the equalizer for the hosts and again, MATS could have done a lot better to protect that ball from going in. It was a below average performance from the goalie to mention things in one line.
