de Barcelona en el 75'
  • 75'
    GOAL! BARCELONA! MESSI! His wretched run against Chelsea is over! Alonso tries to play a ball across his own box and Iniesta nips in, skipping past Azpilicueta before squaring for Messi to sweep home from 12 yards.
  • 71'
    A couple of spells of treatment for Willian who seems to have been caught in the face. He'll be fine to continue though.
  • 69'
    Willian looks to slip Kante in following a Chelsea counter but Alba makes a key block.
  • 68'
    Sergi Roberto crosses from the right but it is too long for Jordi Alba and the danger is gone.
  • 63'
    Aleix Vidal replaces Paulinho for Barca.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Chelsea en el 62'
  • 62'
    GOAL! CHELSEA! WILLIAN! Third time lucky! Chelsea take the corner short and the ball is worked to Willian on the edge of the box, he shifts it out of his feet before curling into the bottom corner. A fine finish!
  • 62'
    Fabregas sees a low effort from just outside the box deflected away for a corner.
  • 61'
    Azpilicueta comes out to prevent Jordi Alba from getting to the byline unchallenged.
  • 58'
    Chelsea have barely touched the ball since half-time but they're looking solid enough.
  • 53'
    Chance! Suarez does well to burst past a challenge on the edge of the box and force Courtois into a low save down to his left with a low effort from a narrow angle.
  • 50'
    Hazard goes down in the box as he looks the shield the ball from Umtiti but the referee waves him to his feet.
  • 49'
    Iniesta skips past Moses but he then fires well over the bar from 30 yards. It would have needed something special to beat Courtois from there.
  • 47'
    Sergi Roberto crosses from the right but it is poor and it floats out for a goal kick.
  • 46'
    Barca get us back underway here. No changes for either side.
  • 45'
    HT: Chelsea 0-0 Barcelona. No goals at the break but an entertaining affair nonetheless. Barca have had more of the ball but Paulinho wasted their best chance by heading wide when well-placed. At the other end, Willian has been denied by the woodwork twice in the opening 45.
  • 45'
    Christensen scrambles away a low cross from Messi.
  • 43'
    A free-kick from deep is headed clear as far as Hazard on the edge of the box and he crashes a volley back goalwards, but it flies just over the bar. Great technique from the former Lille man.
  • 41'
    OFF THE POST! The ball drops for Willian on the edge of the box and the Brazilian thumps an effort against the other post this time. It's a game of fine margins.
  • 38'
    Chance! A corner comes in from the left and Rudiger slips, allowing Pique a free header but he can't quite arch his neck enough and his effort drops wide of the far post.
  • 36'
    That effort from Willian is by far the closest either side has gone so far. Will we get a goal before the break?
  • 33'
    OFF THE POST! What an effort! Willian gathers the ball 25 yards out, shifts it out of his feet and looks for the far corner, but his effort comes crashing back into play off the post. Ter Stegen didn't even move!
  • 31'
    Alonso takes it and draws a save from Ter Stegen but it wasn't the Spaniard's best strike.

  • 29'
    Rakitic is booked for clipping Willian's heels with the Brazilian in full flow. The danger isn't over yet though, with Chelsea now possessing a free-kick just right of centre some 30 yards out.
  • 27'
    Chelsea are being penned back now. Would an Olivier Giroud or Alvaro Morata have given them more of an out-ball?
  • 24'
    Messi finds himself in a good position just inside the box but he hesitates and the chance is lost
  • 23'
    Barca have had 75% of the ball so far.
  • 21'
    Sloppy. Chelsea look to play out from a goal kick but Christensen's square ball is errant and the hosts hand Barca a corner.
  • 18'
    Messi looks to put Alba in behind but the pass is too strong and it runs away for a goal kick.
  • 16'
    CHANCE! Messi dinks the ball in for Paulinho who has peeled off Alonso but his header is poor and it drops wide of Courtois' right-hand post. The Brazilian probably had time to take a touch there.
  • 13'
    Hazard skips away from his man down the left before crossing low but his first attempt is blocked away before Iniesta is there to sweep up at the second time of asking.
  • 12'
    A tactical affair rather than a full-blooded one so far, with Chelsea looking a danger on the break.
  • 9'
    Rudiger gets up to meet it but he can't get enough on it to direct it on target.
  • 9'
    Chelsea force a corner down the right as Busquets blocks away Moses' cross.
  • 5'
    Great strike! Hazard cuts in on his left foot from out on the right and hammers and effort just off target. You sense the Belgian will be key if Chelsea are to get anything here.
  • 4'
    An early warning for Barca as they lose the ball high up the pitch with Alba committed and Willian drives forward into the space vacated by the left-back but nothing comes of it.
  • 3'
    A nice spell of possession from Barca early on but Alonso clears away Messi's centre at the far post.
  • 1'
    Chelsea get us underway here!

    The players are out on the pitch and we'll be underway shortly.

    Ernesto Valverde: "Chelsea have a very unique style of football, they know their game. The English style of football is a unique, physical style, but they play good football as well. Any moment is bad to play Chelsea. They have the same qualities they had last year. They may not have had the best season so far, but they are still so strong. We obviously wish Chelsea were first in their group so we didn't have to play them."

    Antonio Conte in tonight's programme: "The past is not important now, only the present matters in these games, and this is a new chapter in the story…we have an opportunity to show what we can do. We have to enjoy the challenge. We know we must approach the game in the right way, respect our opponent, understand their strengths, but also try to exploit the opportunities we can create."
