Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Liverpool FC host FC Barcelona — let the battle begin!
  • 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 7' The deadlock is broken! Divock Origi gets on the scoresheet on 7 minutes.
  • 11' Fabinho picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 16' FC Barcelona fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 21' FC Barcelona are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 26' 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 Nelson Semedo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 31' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. James Milner made 409 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 36' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 41' It looks surprising Liverpool FC does not make any changes. Virgil van Dijk has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 45' A moment of madness from Busquets on 45 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FC Barcelona will be frustrated.
  • 46' Andrew Robertson makes way for Georginio Wijnaldum at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Liverpool FC.
  • 51' Liverpool FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Barcelona backline.
  • 53' FC Barcelona player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 54' Georginio Wijnaldum doubles the advantage! 2-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 56' Georginio Wijnaldum does the damage! The net is bulging and Liverpool FC surge ahead!
  • 60' Philippe Coutinho makes way for Nelsinho at the 60 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Barcelona.
  • 65' FC Barcelona are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 66' The referee calls foul for Joel Matip. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 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' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Nelsinho.
  • 75' The FC Barcelona manager makes a substitution. Arturo Vidal departs to be replaced by Arthur.
  • 79' Magnificent from Divock Origi! That is 19 goals in 409 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 80' The FC Barcelona manager makes a substitution. Ivan Rakitic departs to be replaced by Malcom.
  • 85' Liverpool FC ring the changes. Divock Origi has done his job and it is now time for Joe Gomez to step up.
  • 90' Another substitution for Liverpool FC to replace Xherdan Shaqiri by Daniel Sturridge on 90 minute.
  • Full Time. Liverpool FC beats FC Barcelona
