From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Barcelona and Lionel Messi proved too much for Borussia Dortmund as the hosts cruised to victory at the Nou Camp.
Messi scored one goal and assisted the other two for Luis Suarez and substitute Antoine Griezmann as Barca racked up three, before Jadon Sancho's brilliant late reply made it 3-1.
The victory means Barcelona secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League, while Dortmund have it all to play for.
Dortmund will play Slavia Prague in their final group game while Inter Milan, who are now level with the German team on seven points, face Barcelona.
Should Inter and Dortmund finish on the same points, Inter will progress courtesy of their better head-to-head record.
