Unless Inter spectacularly lose at home to Group C minnows Viktoria Plzen in two weeks' time, then Barcelona will have already been demoted before they even kick off against Bayern Munich, who've already qualified for the knockout stages. And the looming blow isn't just a concern on the pitch for the Catalan club, but also in the boardroom.
