Plaudits flying in via the Twittersphere!
31'
Update to that OptaJohan staT: Luis Suárez (9 goals, 12 assists) has been involved in 21 goals in his first 23 matches for Barca.
30'
GOAL! It's Suarez at the double! Alba marauds down the left and drills a low cross into the six-yard box that Suarez diverts in off the far post. Lovely run by Messi to free Alba in the build up there too.
29'
For anyone doubting Suarez's impact at Barca.... #unselfish
28'
Ckity respond and Silva gets free down the left, only to see his cross bundled behind for a corner. The delivery is curved into the mixer but Suarez proves he is adept in both areas as he clears the danger.
27'
How big could that save prove to be in the context of this match, or perhaps even the tie?
26'
GREAT SAVE! Neymar slips a lovely pass through for Suarez who goes one-on-one with Hart but sees his low attempt brilliantly blocked by the City keeper.
25'
Barca well on top now. Ivan Rakitic wanders into space in the area and loops a header straight at Hart from Alves' cross - but he was offside so it wouldn't have counted.
24'
STAT: 15 of Barcelona’s16 goals in the Champions League this season have been scored from open play.
23'
Manchester City have only kept one clean sheet in 14 home Champions League games (2-0 v Bayern Munich, December 2011).
22'
Ole's from the visiting crowd as Barca knock it about.
20'
Luis was always going to score back in England, wasn't he?
19'
Another Barca counter attack sees Alves' right-wing cross fall for Suarez whose volley deflects to safety off a City defender.
18'
It's raining goals! LATEST: Juventus 1-1 Dortmund.
17'
Twitter reacts!
16'
GOAL!!!! He's back with a bang! Barcelona snatch the lead courtesy of Luis Suarez who sizzles a shot into the far corner after his attempted flick-on fell kindly for him off Kompany.
15'
LATEST: Juve 1-0 Dortmund.
14'
Milner looks to exploit the fact Neymar is off the pitch changing boots, but his through pass is overcooked and goes behind for the goal kick. The England man needs to be more patient than that.
13'
STAT: Barcelona have made it to the knockout stages of the Champions League for the 11th consecutive campaign. They have always made it at least to the quarter finals in the last seven seasons.
12'
WIDE! Suarez slices a shot past Hart's near post after his poor cross towards Messi was deflected back into his path on the left of the area.
11'
Great challenge! Martin Demichelis gets across to block a goalbound effort from Messi after some silky skills from Neymar bewitched Zabaleta on the right.
