- 14' A stunning finish from Ousmane Dembele — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 19' Paulo Dybala has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 24' 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 Alvaro Morata suffering a number of foals already.
- 29' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Wojciech Szczesny made 525 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 60' A moment of madness from Sergi Roberto on 60 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FC Barcelona will be frustrated.
- 65' The 37-year-old Jordi Alba has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

- 70' Juventus FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 70.
