Barcelona will aim to go two better this season after Liverpool ended their Champions League campaign at the semi-final stage last term.

Ernesto Valverde's side sit top of Group F with Group F rivals Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan still in the hunt for a spot in the last 16.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen denied Dortmund's Marco Reus from the spot to preserve a point at Signal Iduna Park back in September and that superb save remains the difference between the two sides in the Champions League group standings.

It means victory over the Bundesliga side on Wednesday evening will send Barca through as group winners.

Here are the current standings in Group F

What Barcelona need to qualify

Barcelona will progress to the last 16 as group winners with victory over second-placed Borussia Dortmund.

They will also go through if they draw with Dortmund and the match between Inter Milan and Slavia Prague ends in a stalemate, while they will advance regardless of their result if the Czech outfit defeat Antonio Conte's side.

Inter cannot qualify if they do not win at Slavia or if Dortmund beat Barca.
