Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Liverpool FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' The travelling FC Barcelona supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 7' GOAL! Divock Origi scores on 7.
  • 11' The referee calls foul for Fabinho. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 16' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Barcelona that had 513 games and scored 767 goals.
  • 21' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Barcelona needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 26' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 26 minutes.
  • 31' It looks like no one’s ball. Liverpool FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 36' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 41' Liverpool FC 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.
  • 45' It’s a booking for FC Barcelona player. Busquets gets a Yellow card.
  • 46' It is a substitution in Liverpool FC team. Andrew Robertson is replaced by Georginio Wijnaldum on 46 minute.
  • 51' It looks surprising Liverpool FC does not make any changes. Joel Matip has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 53' Ivan Rakitic is having his name booked by the referee on 53.
  • 54' GOAL! Georginio Wijnaldum scores on 54.
  • 56' What a strike from Georginio Wijnaldum! The score is 3-0.
  • 60' The supporters are chanting for Nelsinho. He replaces Philippe Coutinho on 60 minute.
  • 65' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 66' Joel Matip was booked on 66.
  • 71' Liverpool FC is showing some good football. However, Liverpool FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 75' A meaty challenge results in booking for Nelsinho on 75.
  • 75' Arthur has so much to prove this time. He replaces Arturo Vidal on 75 minute.
  • 79' What a strike from Divock Origi! The score is 4-0.
  • 80' Another substitution for FC Barcelona to replace Ivan Rakitic by Malcom on 80 minute.
  • 85' The whistle greets Divock Origi as he departs to be replaced by Joe Gomez.
  • 90' The supporters are chanting for Daniel Sturridge. He replaces Xherdan Shaqiri on 90 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Liverpool FC players.
