Barcelona has sealed their place in the Champions League last 16 with two games to spare with their 3-1 win over AC Milan in their Group H clash at the Camp Nou on Wednesday
Defeat leaves Milan in second place in Group H, a point ahead of Ajax and two clear of Celtic after the Dutch champions beat the Scottish side 1-0 in the night's other match.

Messi's teammate Sergio Busquets scored the third goal for Barcelona in the 39th minute, while Milan was handed a lifeline just before half-time when Gerard Pique turned Kaka's cross into his own net, the report added.
