Barcelona's failure to beat Inter Milan in Matchday 4 at the Camp Nou pushed the Spanish giants to the brink of a second straight group stage elimination, and their worst fears were realized before even kicking a ball in the next round.The Blaugrana could only muster a 3-3 draw against the Italian side last time out, and while that didn't quite do it mathematically, Inter made it official by beating Viktoria Plzen 4-0 before Barcelona could even take the field against Bayern hoping to save their European season.Instead, for the second straight campaign, Barcelona are destined for the Europa League, a competition which two years ago was squarely beneath the giant Catalan club, having never before stepped foot in the event.Here are the updated Group C standings with two matchdays remaining.

That Cameron Wake Jersey match in Italy was part of the two early kickoffs, meaning Barcelona were officially out of the competition before they even took the field against Bayern with the hopes of saving their European campaign.In front of over 92,000 fans at the Camp Nou in mid-October, Barcelona looked to be well on their way against Inter Milann in a critical game where they required victory to stay afloat. Ousmane Dembele secured a first-half advantage in the 40th minute to give Barcelona the lead at the halftime break. The second half, however, turned into a complete me s that featured multiple collapses by the home side.Barcelona stalwart Gerard Pique completely switched off, unaware that Inter Milan's Nicolo Barella had snuck in behind him to level the score at 1-1 just five minutes after the break. Then 13 Malcolm Butler Jersey minutes later, just past the hour mark, Inter Milan attacker Lautaro Martinez put the other Barcelona center-back Eric Garcia in a blender and gave Inter the 2-1 lead.Robert Lewandowski staved off elimination after he leveled the score at 2-2 in the final 10 minutes, but Inter substitute Robin Gosens seemingly eliminated Barcelona with his 89th minute breakaway goal. But Lewandowski again scored to equalize at 3-3. However, the draw was of little help to Barcelona and may have merely delayed the inevitable. While Barcelona's summer spending spree seemed to be paying off early in La Liga play, the big names failed to show up when it mattered most in the Champions League.The woes began in Germany as Robert Lewandowski was blanked against his former club Bayern Munich in his return to Allianz Arena, suffering a 2-0 defeat. The Blaugrana out-shot the hosts and won the expected goals battle, but came up empty in front of net. Lewandowski put just two of his seven shots on frame, stymied by former teammate Manuel Neuer on a 21st minute header that required a stellar save.That slip would have been meaningle s had Barcelona taken care of busine s against Ryan Tannehill Jersey Inter Milan, who were proving inconsistent in Serie A play, but they put the Blaugrana to the sword in Europe. In Italy, Barcelona were again held goalle s in a drab 1-0 result for Inter that featured a Pedri goal ruled out for a foul. The result was against the run of both clubs' form, and put all the pre sure on Barca.Barcelona still had a chance to save their campaign at home against Inter in the reverse fixture, leading at halftime thanks to Ousmane Dembele, but it all fell apart early in the second half. Nicolo Barella and Lautaro Martinez struck within 13 minutes of each other to put Inter ahead. Lewandowski scored a pair as the game came to a close, including a 92nd minute goal that salvaged a point, but Robin Gosens' 89th minute goal was the dagger in a game that Barcelona required three points to remain in control of their own destiny.MORE: Group C scheduleDate Match Time (BST / ET)Wed, Sept. 7Inter Milan 0, Bayern Munich 2Wed, Sept. 7Barcelona 5, Viktoria Plzen 1Tue, Sept. 13Viktoria Plzen 0, Inter Milan 2Tue, Sept. 13Bayern Munich 2, Barcelona 0Tue, Oct. 4Bayern Munich 5, Viktoria Plzen 0Tue, Oct. 4Inter Milan 1, Barcelona 0Wed, Oct. 12Barcelona 3,Inter Milan 3Wed, Oct. 12Viktoria Plzen 2, Bayern Munich 4Wed, Oct. 26Inter Milan 3, Viktoria Plzen0Wed, Oct. 26Barcelona vs. Bayern Munich20:00 / 15:00Tue, Nov. 1Bayern Munich vs. Inter Milan20:00 / 16:00Tue, Nov. 1Viktoria Plzen vs. Barcelona20:00 / 16:00 This is the fifth time Barcelona have been ousted before the knockout stage since the Champions League group format was introduced in 1992. Last year's elimination was the first since the 2000/01 competition, and the first time since the Champions League introduced the drop to the Europa League.Barcelona finished third in their 2021/22 group behind Bayern Munich Logan Ryan Jersey and Benfica, seeing them drop from the Champions League to the Europa League for the first time in club history.Therefore, elimination in this year's competition marks just the second time in the last decade they have not reached the knockout stage of the Champions League, and the fifth all-time Ryan Succop Jersey alongside a run of mi ses in 1997/98, 1998/99, and 2000/01.Last season was the first time since the 2003/04 campaign they didn't participate in that tournament after failing to finish among the top four teams in Spain that Barcelona had not played in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

They were UEFA Cup semifinalists on four occasions, losing each semifinal by one goal on aggregate: 1975/76, 1977/78, 1995/96 and 2000/01.
