Robert Lewandowski saves Barcelona in thrilling Champions League battle with Inter Milan

Robert Lewandowski scored two late goals to save Barcelona from being knocked out of the Champions League in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Inter Milan at Camp Nou.

The Polish striker dragged Xavi Hernandez's side level at 2-2 in the 82nd minute and then again at 3-3 in stoppage time with a towering header, after Robin Gosens put the Italians ahead with one minute remaining.

Barcelona's Champions League fate is no longer in their own hands though and they still face a second consecutive group stage elimination if Inter Milan win at home against eliminated Viktoria Plzen on October 26.

Being on the verge of another early knockout is a bitter blow for the Catalans, who hoped a summer signing spree including Lewandowski from Bayern Munich could restore their position among Europe's elite. "We had an enormous opportunity and we didn't take it," said Barcelona defender Eric Garcia. "We made errors that at this level, you cannot make.
