Granted, Barcelona had already qualified, and as expected named a weakened starting XI, with Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba all starting from the bench.Finishing second means Spurs will be drawn against one of the group winners, meaning they could face Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, FC Porto, Bayern Munich or Ajax, Lyon (if they finish above Manchester City), Real Madrid or Juventus (if they win the group above Manchester United).The draw will take place on Monday, December 17.
