Barcelona are assured of a place in either the round of 16 or knockout phase playoffs, having moved out on their own in second place of the league phase table courtesy of a 3-2 win over Borussia Dortmund.
Ferran Torres scored twice after coming off the bench to earn Barcelona a victory, which guarantees them a place in either the round of 16 or knockout phase playoffs.
After a goalless first half, Raphinha's low drive gave the visitors a deserved lead before Serhou Guirassy equalised from the penalty spot after being fouled by Pau Cubarsi.
The Dortmund striker restored parity again not long after Torres's first of the evening, but the Barcelona forward then raced onto Lamine Yamal's pass and beat Gregor Kobel for a second time to lift Hansi Flick's side three points above their opponents.
In Turin, Manchester City plunged deeper into trouble in the Champions League by losing 2-0 at Juventus on Wednesday, the latest setback in a scarcely believable run of poor results for the ailing English champions.
