Harry Kane did get on the scoresheet, but it was not enough to prevent Robert Lewandowski – who netted Barca’s second – from having the last laugh against his old team.

Inter Milan left it late but got the win in the end against Young Boys.
It took a Marcus Thuram winner in the 93rd minute to wrap up the points for the Italian champions.
Young Boys gave them a good run for their money and will feel hugely disappointed not to walk away with anything.
