Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against PSV and FC Barcelona has kicked off!
  • 5' 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 Daniel Schwaab suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Ousmane Dembele has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 49 appearances with only 7 goals this season.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Barcelona is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 25' Jorrit Hendrix is having his name booked by the referee on 25.
  • 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 35' PSV 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.
  • 40' 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.
  • 45' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 50' 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.
  • 55' The travelling FC Barcelona supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 60' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 61' Goal! Lionel Messi scores his 236 goal in 513 matches.
  • 66' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 70' What a strike from Pique! The score is 0-2.
  • 70' Another substitution for FC Barcelona to replace Philippe Coutinho by Malcom on 70 minute.
  • 71' Another substitution for PSV to replace Jorrit Hendrix by Erick Gutierrez on 71 minute.
  • 76' PSV started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 76.
  • 79' Maximiliano Romero has so much to prove this time. He replaces Steven Bergwijn on 79 minute.
  • 80' Denis Suarez is replacing Ousmane Dembele for the FC Barcelona side.
  • 83' Goal! Luuk de Jong scores his 135 goal in 436 matches.
  • 83' Erick Gutierrez is having his name booked by the referee on 83.
  • 84' PSV receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 84.
  • 86' The referee shows FC Barcelona player a Yellow card on 86.
  • 90' Pique was booked on 90.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-2.
