88' HE SHOULD HAVE SCORED! Courtesy some clever play and brilliant dribbling, Sergi Roberto finds a yard of space with the goal at his mercy, but his left footed effort is well wide.
87' Another swashbuckling run from Arda Turan ends with Barca earning a corner. Can the Blaugrana profit? Denis Suarez takes it to the far post and Szczesny comes out to tip the ball away from the goal.
84' NEARLY! Arda Turan chips a cross from the right that seems perfect for Suarez to volley home at the near post, only for Szczesny to come out and distract the Uruguayan into shooting wide.
81' CLOSE! Alena attempts a low drive from the edge of the box, but his left footed effort flies wide of goal, despite Szczesny scrambling across to get the ball
78' So close! Denis, Arda and Luis Suarez combine brilliantly to begin a foray forward on the right, before finding Luis in the box. The Uruguayan opens his body and attempts a guided shot into the bottom corner, but Szczesny is aware of the danger and pounces on the ball
76' IS THIS A FINAL?! Alex Sandro sends in a peach of a low cross that is begging to be turned into the net, only for Higuain to run onto the ball in the box and send his effort well over the bar!
68' HOW DID HE MISS?! Jordi Alba is sent clear of the Juve backline with a long ball and the Spaniard cuts the ball back for Denis Suarez in the box, but he skies his effort well over the bar.
63' As easy as they come. Chiellini simply outmuscles the mere mortals around him from the right wing corner and heads the ball home at the far post. Barcelona 2-1 Juventus
61' Oooof! Dybala gets his Neymar audition underway with a lovely shimmy of his bodt to wrongfoot, not 1, not 2, but 3 markers and begin a move. Sadly it peters out...
55' TWO CHANCES IN AS MANY SECONDS! Luis Suarez makes a mug of De Sciglio and forces Szczesny into a good save from a narrow angle, before pouncing on the rebound and attempting to cross into the box, only for no Barca player to be following up for a certain goal at the far post.
54' WHAT A CHANCE! Juve should really have a goal back! Betancur sends in a clever low cross from the left to Pjanic making a late run on the edge of the box. The midfielder skies his effort when the goal was at his mercy.
49' Luis Suarez does what he does and collects a pass from the left wing with an intelligent run into that channel, although his attempted cross is blocked out for a corner - which comes to nothing.
47' It's a very sedate start to the second half, as Barcelona pass the ball around at the back without any penetrative instinct - Umtiti and Marlon are indulging in a fair bit of stat-padding here.
Okay, Barcelona have rung in the changes, it appears as though Ernesto Valverde has changed all 11 players! You'll allow me to name them as we go along....
45' There's a bit of needle in this friendly, as Lichsteiner and Neymar exchange words again, with Aleix Vidal of all people coming all the way across the pitch to have his say as well.
44' SAVE! Messi sends his free-kick aimed right at the top corner, but Buffon stretches well to tip the ball out for a corner. Juve look like they have cleared the set-piece, only for Asamoah to make a mess of the situation and lose the ball close to goal. Thankfully for the left back, his fellow defenders get their blocks in.
42' OH WHAT A CHANCE! Messi chips an incredible ball over the top for Neymar making a clever run into the left side of the box, only for Buffon to come out and smother the chance. Moments later, Marchisio and Neymar have a bit of a shoving match after the Italian took exception with the Brazilian falling down like a feather. The ref books Marchisio for his reaction and Barca have a free kick.
40' Great defending from Samper! Sturaro attempts to find Lemina making a late run into the box with a low pass, only for Samper to identify the danger and prevent a shot on goal with a smart interception.
37' OFF THE BAR! It would have been moot anyway, since the ref blew for a foul on Neymar long beforehand, but Messi worked his way past a crowded box to loft a cheeky effort into the woodwork.
36' WOOOF What a cross! Digne finds a yard of space on the left wing ans flashes in a low cross across goal, but Barca do not have a single shirt in the box.
31' OH SO CLOSE! Messi cleverly sidesteps a challenge to begin a move forward, sliding a clever pass to Alcacer in the box, which the Barca forward cleverly dummies for Neymar running through, but Lichsteiner is alert and prevents the Brazilian from getting a shot on goal.
29' Juventus look incredibly rusty when passing the ball forward - the intention is there with some clever ideas, only for the passes to be a minor bit wayward. Barcelona look on point though, and are pouncing on all of Juve's mistakes.
26' A STUNNING GOAL FROM NEYMAR! He collects the ball on the left, before dancing past five Juventus players all the way to the other side of the box and then slamming the ball past Buffon and into the net! Barcelona 2-0 Juventus!
24' A long ball from the back finds Alcacer up-front for Barcelona (there's my tiki-taka return theory gone out of the window), but Asamoah and Barzagli cover their zones well to snuff out the danger.
22' Incredibly patient stuff from Barcelona as they pass the ball from side to side looking for an opening- is Valverde bringing tiki-taka back? Meanwhile Juventus intercept and launch a counter, which end with a corner in their favour, that is poorly taken.
20' Marchisio sends a corner from the right wing, and Betancur rises highest above everyone at he far post, but his header flies well wide of the post. Juventus really have to buck up here - Barca have a vice-like control of this game.
18' Barzagli lofts a clever ball to Mandzukic who looks to have run clear of the Barca backline, but a poor first touch takes away the momentum of the move.It ends with Lemina sending an optimistic effort from range well over the bar.
