The maximum points came as a reprieve to Simone Inzaghi's men, who have been on a poor run of form lately. Inter had lost back-to-back games in the Serie A against Roma and Udinese. They are currently eight points off log leaders Napoli in 9th place.

Another highlight of the evening came in the defensive masterclass that the 2010 Champions League winners put in against a Robert Lewandowski-led side. After the game, defender Alessandro Bastoni made his feelings clear in a cryptic Instagram message.

The Italian defender uploaded a picture of himself dragging Barcelona midfielder Gavi on the floor. Gavi appeared to be wincing in pain as he went down from the challenge.

"Victory of heart and character.."

The two sides will meet once again next week at the Camp Nou, with Barcelona looking to bounce back from two defeats in a row. Inter are now second behind Bayern Munch with 6 points, with Barcelona in third with three points.

Barcelona fans blast Robert Lewandowski for vanishing against Inter Milan

Sports Brief had earlier reported that angry fans of FC Barcelona vented their spleen about Robert Lewandowski's silent performance against Inter Milan.

Lewandowski has been in red-hot form for the Blaugrana in the La Liga. However, he has failed to replicate his form in the Champions League.

The Polish goal monger continued his slow start to life in Europe's premier club tournament as he fired blank in Barca's loss to the Nerazzurri.
