Barcelona Mercilessly Mocked on Social Media As Inter Milan’s Victory Relegates Them to Europa League

• FC Barcelona were relegated to the UEFA Europa League for the second year in a row thanks to Inter Milan's win
• Bayern Munich and Milan secured their places as the top two sides from the group of death in the Champions League
• Football fans were quick to make fund of Barcelona for their fall from grace in the Champions League

Barcelona’s hopes and dreams of being among Europe’s elite were crushed once again before they even kicked a ball against Bayern Munich.

The Spanish side were relegated to the Europa League for the second year running, as Inter Milan hammered Viktoria Plzen in the other group game.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Edin Dzeko (2) and Romelu Lukaku all got on the scoresheet as Inter ran out 4-0 winners, The Mirror reported.

The result meant that Bayern and Milan progressed to the Round of 16 from the group. Barcelona will finish third and therefore drop down to the Europa League, something football fans couldn’t stop making fun of.
