FT: Arsenal 0-2 Barcelona - Lionel Messi gives Barcelona a vital lead away from home, as two goals late in the second half allow the Catalans to take a sizeable advantage going into the next fixture

90+3' Arsenal attempt to get a goal back with a counter from Bellerin, but Barcelona safely clear

90+1' WHAT A SAVE! Petr Cech prevents Arsenal from going completely out of the tie, as he saves a Neymar header from close range

90' The Emirates has emptied quite rapidly after the Lionel Messi goal, as even the Gooners seem to have given up the ghost

Lionel Messi: After failing to score against Petr Cech in 6 previous matches, Messi has now scored 2 in 12 minutes #AFCvFCB

8 - Lionel Messi now has eight #UCL goals vs Arsenal – only against AC Milan (8) has he scored as often. Ruthless. #AFCvFCB

85' Something positive for Arsenal as Pique is yellow carded for a foul on Wellbeck, which means the Spaniard will miss the next game

84' Messi makes it two!. The Argentine was fouled by Flamini in the box, and dusts himself off to send Petr Cech the wrong way and slot to the opposite corner. Arsenal 0-2 Barcelona

83' PENALTY! Flamini's first involvement is to concede a penalty

82' Mathieu Flamini comes on for Coquelin

79' CHANCE. Arsenal have a great chance to equalize, as Wellbeck nods down a cross onto Ramsey's path but the Welshman's lunge is pre-empted by Ter Stegen who collects.

78' SHOULD'VE BEEN TWO: Messi sets Neymar free on the left, but the Brazilian is crowded out but can find Suarez in space on the right edge of the box. The Uruguayan however hits the post as Cech charges him down
