Champions League LIVE: Arsenal vs Barcelona

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

89' The night seems to have worsened for Arsenal as Aaron Ramsey goes down with an injury

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

75' Barcelona are far more comfortable as they can comfortably keep possession, leading Arsenal a merry dance as they chase an equalizer

72' Wellbeck comes on for Giroud

71' Arsenal commit too many men forward, which allows Suarez to counter, he sets Neymar free with a nutmeg on Koscielny, and the Brazilian draws Monreal, squaring a pass to Messi on the left who only has to tap the ball past a slipping Cech and give Barcelona the lead

71' GOAL Lionel MESSIIIII

69' Jordi Alba goes into the book for a foul on Ozil. The German's delivery from the set-piece is poor

68' Giroud wastes a great opportunity to set up a chance, as he plays in Walcott, but the Englishman had made an opposite run in the box

67' More ironic cheers, as Sanchez tracks back and tackles Messi on the counter, but the referee awards a free kick to Arsenal

66' Suarez is found on the right side of the box, and his shot from an impossibly narrow angle drifts narrowly wide

66' Pinball in the box as Alexis and Ramsey have shots in the box, but Barcelona block the first and watch the second get blazedd wide

65' Ironic cheers as the referee awards a foul to Arsenal

64' Neymar bursts down the wing but is closely marshalled by Bellerin, who gives away a corner that Arsenal clear

62' Great block from Giroud as he blocks a cross from Messi. Corner taken short by Barcelona

61' With an hour gone, the game is far more stretched, as both sides attempt to gain the upper hand. Meanwhile, Messi twists and turns, but Monreal clears

60' WHAT A CHANCE! Monreal sends in a great cross that Giroud does well to head, but his downward header is brilliantly saved by Ter Stegen. Earlier Ozil had gone clear on the left, but his cutback to Giroud was cleared

58' The referee is earning the ire of the crowd, after he blows for a foul by Coquelin after the Frenchman looked to have got the ball

56' Red Card shout? Alba headbutts Giroud, reacting badly to a barely-anything foul by the Frenchman, but the referee calms things down.

55' Almost! Neymar is sent clear by Rakitic, but the Brazilian oddly heads the ball back, as Barcelona are too altruistic for their own good

54' What a tackle by Koscielny. The Frenchman denies Neymar with a brilliant tackle, after Dani Alves had charged up the pitch to lead Barcelona's foray forward

52' The Arsenal crowd scream for a foul on Alexis Sanchez by Ivan Rakitic

51' Walcott gets up well to win a header and knock the ball down to Giroud, who is muscled off the ball by Neymar. Did that just happen?

50' Theo Walcott comes on for the Ox, who was unable to shake off his ankle knock

49' WHAT A SAVE! Neymar is sent through and has a one-on-one with Petr Cech, but the Czech goalkeeper makes a vital save with his legs

48' Arsenal counter with Ozil, as the Ox charges up the pitch, but his pass is intercepted

47' The Ox suffered a minor ankle knock in the first half, but continues on the pitch. Another thing that continues is the pattern of play, as Arsenal sit deep with Barcelona having all the possession.
