A much-changed Barcelona, who had already qualified for the knockout round of the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League with a game to spare, travelled to San Siro on the sixth and final Matchday of group-stage games.
Barcelona's teenage sensation Ansu Fati, who had earlier in the season, become one of the youngest players to appear in the Champions League, scored a late winner against Inter Milan, which confirmed a 2-1 away win for the visitors. With Borussia Dortmund beating Czech side Slavia Praha 2-1 at home in the other game in the group, the sequence of results contrived to eliminate Inter from Round of 16 contention.
In the process of Barcelona's victory in Inter, Fati created history by becoming the youngest-ever scorer in the history of the competition (group-stage to final).
