If Barcelona loses tonight and Rangers win, the table will look like this: Barcelona 10 points, Rangers 10 and Lyon 9.
On top of that, being top of the group will be important at a later stage.
I don't think Barcelona will risk going to the last round in this type of situation and that's what I meant.

Yeah JC but unless Barca lose 4-0 tonight they will still go through considering they have a superior head to head record against both Rangers and Lyon. They beat Lyon 3-0 in the reverse fixture and whilst their victor in the last group game ensured that they have a better record against Rangers also. Rangers and Lyon play each other in the last game so both sides can not overtake Barca even if Barca lose to Stuttgart in their final group game at the Nou Camp (which in my opinion is extremely unlikely) Unless Barca get hammered tonight, something which I am pretty certain wont happen, then they are through. They dont really need anything from this game, Lyon starting to hit a bit of form but too inconsistent this season, for me its a no bet.
