Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for FC Barcelona and PSV.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Barcelona is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' 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 Gaston Pereiro suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Hirving Lozano has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' It’s high time Ernesto Valverde made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 30' It’s a booking for PSV player. Nick Viergever gets a Yellow card.
  • 32' GOAL! Lionel Messi scores on 32.
  • 37' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 42' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jeroen Zoet made 436 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 47' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nicolas Isimat-Mirin, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 52' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 55' FC Barcelona receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 55.
  • 57' Luuk de Jong was booked on 57.
  • 62' It looks surprising FC Barcelona does not make any changes. Angelino has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 66' Nicolas Isimat-Mirin has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nick Viergever on 66 minute.
  • 71' The travelling PSV supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 75' What a strike from Ousmane Dembele! The score is 2-0.
  • 77' Goal! Lionel Messi scores his 236 goal in 513 matches.
  • 78' Time for substitution for PSV. Steven Bergwijn is replaced by Donyell Malen.
  • 79' A meaty challenge results in booking for Samuel Umtiti on 79.
  • 80' The whistle greets Philippe Coutinho as he departs to be replaced by Clement Lenglet.
  • 82' Erick Gutierrez has so much to prove this time. He replaces Pablo Rosario on 82 minute.
  • 83' Another change for FC Barcelona made on 83 minute. Ousmane Dembele leaves to be changed by Arthur.
  • 85' FC Barcelona manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Arturo Vidal is hanging Ivan Rakitic on the field on 85 minute.
