Barcelona came from behind to beat Copenhagen 4-1 and qualify directly for the Champions League round of sixteen. The result, together with other final-night outcomes, left Hansi Flick’s side fifth in the league-phase standings.
Viktor Dadason put Copenhagen ahead after four minutes. Barcelona remained behind at half-time before Robert Lewandowski equalised early in the second half, finishing a move involving Dani Olmo and Lamine Yamal.
Yamal’s deflected strike turned the match around and Raphinha converted a penalty after Lewandowski was fouled. Marcus Rashford added a free-kick to complete the scoring, ensuring Barcelona avoided the February play-offs and entered the next knockout round through a top-eight finish.
