Events
Match Events
- 0' The ball is rolling at Signal Iduna Park. Borussia Dortmund are looking to make home advantage count against FC Barcelona.
- 5' FC Barcelona seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 10' Yan Couto has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 28 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 11' GOAL! Sehrou Guirassy scores on 11.
- 16' Germany international Felix Kalu Nmecha has been a key figure this campaign — 4 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
- 21' Borussia Dortmund is showing some good football. However, Borussia Dortmund are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 26' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Borussia Dortmund and FC Barcelona are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 31' The travelling FC Barcelona supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 35' That is a card for FC Barcelona. Frenkie de Jong will be fuming at that decision.
- 40' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Gerard Martin suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' FC Barcelona is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 49' The Guinea Sehrou Guirassy breaks the deadlock on 49 minutes. 2-0!

- 70' Fermin Lopez makes way for Eric Garcia at the 70 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Barcelona.

- 76' The Guinea Sehrou Guirassy breaks the deadlock on 76 minutes. 4-0!
