Barcelona are out of the Champions League but will be looking to at least finish on a positive note when they take on Viktoria Plzen in the Czech Republic on Tuesday.
Xavi's men are destined to finish third in Group C after Inter defeated Plzen last time out. Meanwhile, the Blaugrana sit two points adrift of leaders Real Madrid in La Liga.
Leading the domestic circuit where they are still unbeaten, Plzen are also eliminated from the Europe's premier club competition but will play for some pride, especially after suffering a 5-1 defeat at Camp Nou.
