Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: FC Barcelona gets underway.
- 5' The travelling FC Barcelona supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Juventus FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 14' Goal! Ousmane Dembele scores his 75 goal in 513 matches.
- 19' It looks like no one’s ball. Juventus FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 24' Juventus FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 24.
- 29' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 34' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 39' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sergi Roberto made 513 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 44' It’s high time Andrea Pirlo made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 45' Dejan Kulusekvski was booked on 45.
- 46' Another substitution for FC Barcelona to replace Ronald Araujo by Busquets on 46 minute.
- 51' Supporters expect more eagerness from Lionel Messi, as he is very good at scoring at Allianz Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 55' What an equalizer from Alvaro Morata!
- 60' Sergi Roberto is having his name booked by the referee on 60.
- 65' 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 Jordi Alba suffering a number of foals already.
- 66' FC Barcelona manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ansu Fati is hanging Ousmane Dembele on the field on 66 minute.
- 70' Merih Demiral was booked on 70.
- 74' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Juan Cuadrado.
- 75' It is a substitution in Juventus FC team. Dejan Kulusekvski is replaced by Weston McKennie on 75 minute.
- 79' Juventus FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 83' Federico Bernardeschi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Adrien Rabiot on 83 minute.
- 85' It’s a booking for Juventus FC player. Merih Demiral gets a Red card.
- 89' Junior Firpo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Antoine Griezmann on 89 minute.
- 90' The supporters are chanting for Martin Braithwaite. He replaces Pedri on 90 minute.
- With this win, FC Barcelona is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
