BARCELONA—Robert Lewandowski scored two late goals to earn Barcelona a point in a breathless 3–3 draw with Inter Milan on Oct. 12 which kept alive their faint hopes of reaching the Champions League last 16.

Barcelona are still facing elimination at the group stage of the competition for the second consecutive season but Lewandowski’s stoppage-time equaliser gave them a slim chance of progressing with two games left.
