Messi relaxes with a coffee ahead of Barcelona's UCL clash against PSV

  /  autty

Barcelona are home and hosed as far as qualification for the Champions League knockout stages are confirmed - there is no pressure against PSV.

Lionel Messi can co could have broken out the champagne over breakfast, having already guaranteed their place in the top two of Group B.

The Argentine forward managed to restrain himself, instead sipping a coffee at the team hotel in Eindhoven.

Barca are already through, but they do have some inspiration in that they can top the group - and theoretically earn an easier last 16 tie - with a draw in Holland.

They will expect that as a bare minimum, having gone unbeaten in the pool so far, while PSV cannot progress after one point from four games.

Messi will lead the line as ever, although he will have to do so without usual trusted deputy Luis Suarez, who has a hamstring injury.
