Can we doubt the sportiness of Barcelona? The recent history of the Champions League does not suggest. The Catalans often arrive on the last lap already qualified, so for Messi and his companions it is certainly not a novelty to compete in the last race apparently without motivation.
In three cases, indeed, Barcelona was found in the last lap of his group, at home, with the first place already in his pocket, not only with the qualification badured. And how did that happen in these circumstances? The Catalans have never lost. Indeed, in a case identical to the one currently living, Inter has just reversed the group's results, as Spalletti hopes this will happen again this year.
It was in 2012/2013, Barcelona was part of the group with Benfica, Celtic and Spartak Moscow. Before the last round, the Catalans were already first with 12 points, Benfica and Celtic were matched in second place with 7 points, with the Portuguese in the lead for the direct clashes. In the last match, Barcelona drew 0-0 at home against Benfica. Celtic defeated Spartak 2-1 and pbaded the turn. The same situation that Inter hopes to live on December 11th.
The other two times, well reported by Fulvio Santucci on Twitter, Barcelona was the first, but in this case, the second group, Juventus and Copenhagen, won their match without the help of the Blaugrana. In any case, Barcelona beat Rubin Kazan 2-0 and Sporting Lisbon with the same score, revealing themselves to be a loyal and sporting team until the end.
