Barcelona secured their spot in the last-16 stage of the Champions League courtesy of a 4-1 victory over Copenhagen in Wednesday night's contest at Camp Nou.

Hansi Flick's side needed to overcome the Danes to stand a chance of finishing in the top eight, but the hosts fell behind in the early stages, with Viktor Dadason on the scoresheet.

The response from Barcelona was impressive, with Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Marcus Rashford on the scoresheet in a strong home success.

The result has seen the La Liga champions claim fifth in the overall table, so an automatic spot in the next round has been secured, but Copenhagen have finished in 31st, with their journey in this season's competition coming to a close.

SPORTS MOLE'S VERDICT

Well, Barcelona were given an early scare at Camp Nou, with Dadason given a lot of time and space before finding the back of the net, but Flick's side managed to bounce back.

It was always going to be incredibly difficult for Copenhagen to keep out Barcelona considering the home side's talent in the final third, with Yamal in particular showing his quality.

A record of five wins, one draw and two defeats from eight matches has seen Barcelona pick up 16 points in the league stage, enough to finish fifth and advance to the round of 16.

Not too many teams would relish facing Flick's side due to their attacking talent, but defensively, there are still big problems, and that will be a concern when it comes to their chances in the tournament.

Barcelona have been far from perfect in the league stage of the Champions League, but they managed to do the job on Wednesday to progress without the need for a knockout round playoff.

BARCELONA VS. COPENHAGEN HIGHLIGHTS

Viktor Dadason goal vs. Barcelona (4th minute, Barcelona 0-1 Copenhagen)

Barcelona level the scores in the 49th minute of the match, and it is Lewandowski who comes up with the goal, converting a cross from Yamal. Game on at Camp Nou.

Barcelona have their third of the match from the penalty spot, with Raphinha finding the back of the net after Junnosuke Suzuki had fouled Lewandowski inside the box.

Marcus Rashford goal vs. Copenhagen (85th minute, Barcelona 4-1 Copenhagen)

Barcelona make sure of the points in the latter stages of the match, as Rashford hits a brilliant free kick into the back of the net from distance.
