CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: BARCELONA 2-0 INTER MILAN

LONDON (AP) - Barcelona revived its chances of holding onto the Champions League title with a 2-0 victory over Inter Milan on Tuesday while Fiorentina and Arsenal advanced to the last 16 and five-time winner Liverpool was eliminated.

In danger of going out of the competition if the results had gone badly, Barcelona raised its game to comfortably beat the Italian champion with goals by Gerard Pique and Pedro Rodriguez at Camp Nou and climb to the top of the Group F standings.

"A victory like this helps us ... to finish first," Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola said. "We played a good game, which is fantastic for us."

The victory lifted Barcelona from third to first and all but ensured qualification while Inter is now in danger of going out. Jose Mourinho's team is level on six points with newly crowned Russian champion Rubin Kazan which was held 0-0 at home by Dynamo Kiev.

"Only Barca played and they played well," said Inter coach Jose Mourinho. "Inter just didn't have the level to match." To make it even more exciting going to the final round of games on Dec. 9, last place Kiev could still qualify. It has five points and, if it beats Barcelona at home and Inter and Rubin draw in Milan, then Barca and Kiev will go through.
