Barcelona find themselves on the edge of another UEFA Champions League group stage exit after drawing 3-3 at home to Group C rivals Inter Milan.The hosts capitulated in the second half, despite two late goals from Robert Lewandowski, as they were unable to find a crucial winner in Catalonia.Ousmane Dembele's first-half goal appeared to set Xavi's side on the road to victory, but Inter rallied superbly after the restart, with goals from Nicolo Barella, and former Barcelona transfer target Lautaro Martinez.Lewandowski's two equalisers - either side of a calm finish from Robin Gosens - saved Barcelona from defeat on the night, but they will be eliminated, if Inter win either of their final two group games.MORE: 1H 2H Final Barcelona133Inter Milan033Goals:Dembele - 41st Min - BARBarella - 50th Min - INTMartinez - 63rd Min - INTLewandowski - 81st Min - BARGosens - 89th Min - INTLewandowski - 90+3rd Min - BAR The inquest into Barcelona's demise at Camp Nou is likely to include some firm home truths for their experienced stars.Xavi opted to stick with Gerard Pique in central defence, with skipper Sergio Busquets anchoring the midfield, on the night.Pique was caught out by Nicolo Barella for Inter's first equaliser, with Busquets too slow in po se sion
