Barcelona vs Tottenham LIVE – draw seals Spurs place in Champions League last 16!
Re-live the action from the Nou Camp as Spurs avoided group-stage elimination
Lucas Moura's dramatic late goal sent Tottenham through to the Champions League knockout stages by earning a 1-1 draw at Barcelona.
Spurs, who had to match Inter Milan's result against PSV Eindhoven, were heading out of the competition and into the Europa League for the second time in three seasons as they trailed to Ousmane Demebele's early goal for most of the game and the Italians came from behind to level.
But, having missed chance after chance at the Nou Camp, Moura finally came to Spurs' rescue as he converted Harry Kane's cross with five minutes remaining.
It was the least they deserved as only an inspired performance from Barca number two Jasper Cillessen protected his side's five-year unbeaten run at home in European football, although ultimately they will be grateful to PSV for their favour in Italy. Re-live the live action below:
Barcelona 1-1 Tottenham, 90 minutes
Four minutes added on at the Nou Camp.
With no further goals in the group, Spurs are through...
Liverpool 1-0 Napoli, 90 minutes
Trent Alexander-Arnold has picked up a knock.
Dejan Lovren will come on at right back.
Four added minutes at Anfield, too.
It's all over at the Nou Camp. Lucas Moura has given Spurs a point. That might be enough...
Liverpool 1-0 Napoli, 90 + 2 minutes
WHAT. A. SAVE!
A ball into the box breaks through to Arkadiusz Milik, who controls it and will surely score from five yards out.
But Alisson is there, Alisson's body is there, and the ball bounces off him and away to safety.
Full time in Milan. TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR ARE THROUGH TO THE LAST 16 OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!!
AND IT IS FULL TIME AT ANFIELD. ALLISON'S STOPPAGE TIME SAVE SEALS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE PROGRESSION FOR LIVERPOOL, MOHAMED SALAH SCORING THE ONLY GOAL OF THE GAME.
LIVERPOOL ARE THROUGH!!
Both teams missed chance-after-chance in the second half. But both Tottenham and Liverpool live to fight another day in the Champions League.
There will be four English teams in next week's last 16 draw.
