Robin Gosens thought he had won it at the death, as the German substitute expertly dispatched the ball past Ter Stegen into the bottom right corner. Robert Lewandowski had other plans however.
The Camp Nou erupted in the 92nd minute, as Lewandowski rose highest in the box to expertly guide his header into the top corner and rescue a point for Barcelona.

Three points would have all but confirmed Inter Milan’s place in the round of 16, however with Lewandowski’s last minute header Barcelona live to fight another day in Europe.
With games against Bayern Munich and Viktoria Plzen on the horizon, Barcelona will still need maximum points from their final two games, or will have to hope that they can secure enough points to go through as a third place side.
