Events
Match Events
- 0' And we are off! FC Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund — let the football do the talking.
- 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both FC Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Lucien Favre might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 15' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 20' 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 Jadon Sancho suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' Marco Reus has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 7 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
- 26' Antoine Griezmann gets the nod from FC Barcelona. He replaces Ousmane Dembele and will look to change the dynamic.
- 29' Luis Suarez makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and FC Barcelona are in front.
- 33' Lionel Messi adds to his 19 season tally! FC Barcelona lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.
- 38' Borussia Dortmund have won 804 goals from 523 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 43' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 46' The BV Borussia 09 Dortmund bench stirs into life. Nico Schulz is withdrawn and Jadon Sancho gets his opportunity.
- 51' A moment of madness from Lionel Messi on 51 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FC Barcelona will be frustrated.
- 56' FC Barcelona started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 56.
- 61' Nico Schulz needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 66' The 30-year-old Junior Firpo has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 67' What a moment for Antoine Griezmann! That strike on 67 puts his side firmly in control.
- 71' Controversy at the stadium! Busquets argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 74' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Raphael Guerreiro on 74 minutes.
- 76' Dan-Axel Zagadou gets the nod from BV Borussia 09 Dortmund. He replaces Lukasz Piszczek and will look to change the dynamic.
- 77' Jadon Sancho doubles the advantage! 3-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 78' The crowd applauds Ivan Rakitic as he leaves the pitch. Arturo Vidal steps in for FC Barcelona.
- 83' FC Barcelona is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 85' A change in the BV Borussia 09 Dortmund ranks — Julian Weigl exits the field as Mario Gotze enters on 85.
- 90' Moussa Wague has so much to prove this time. He replaces Luis Suarez on 90 minute.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Borussia Dortmund.
