Barcelona win against Dortmund means they are now one point away from absolutely guaranteeing a top 8 finish in the Champions League league phase which means automatic qualification to the round of 16.
Regardless Barca would qualify for the Champions League knockouts even if they lose their last two games against Benfica and Atalanta provided seven other teams don't record more than their 15 points.
With Barca ranked second in the league phase we could already predict which teams they will face in the round of the 16.
Barca will avoid the likes of Liverpool with Arsenal and Inter who are expected to finish in the top 8.
But they could face teams like Benfica 15th Monaco 16th Sporting 17th or Feyenoord 18th. All four teams currently have 10 points in the league phase and would battle each other in the playoff to determine who progresses to the round of 16.
