So, thanks for your company - see you again!
Chelsea made one mistake at the back all night, and they paid for it with the equaliser that you'd bet will decide this tie. But Chelsea played really well, and if they can reproduce that level rCamp Nou, you never know - though it seems unlikely that Barca, with Dembele fitter and the pitch bigger, will be as blunt.
Full-time: Chelsea 1-1 Barcelona
Barca are happy to take the draw, and that's fair enough - if you're going to progress, you assume you need to win your home tie.
Andre Gomes replaces Iniesta, who needs to embrace his badlness and have it all off.
There'll be three added minutes.
Hazard steps on the gas and swerves away from Busquets who boots him over and is booked.
Lewandowski has scored again for Bayern, who at 5-0 up are a good bet for the next round.
Drinkwater catches Suarez in the centre-circle at the same time as Moses clips Alba. Both accept treatment.
Lovely quick feet from Hazard who shows Umtiti the ball and whips it away, absorbing the inevitable trick. Free-kick Chelsea, and Willian just passes it out wide to Hazard - what a waste that is. Eventually, Moses drags a shot wide and Morata is booked for whinging that he didn't get a corner.
Barca have made 700 and something passes, Chelsea 100 and something. Meanwhile, Drinkwater replaces Fabregas.
Change for Chelsea: Morata replaces Pedro, so Hazard moves to the left wing.
Rudiger clatters Messi - by mistake, taking the top of the ball then following through. So he goes down and feigns injury, then leaps up in fury as the ref comes over, but a yellow is all he sees.
Lewandowski has scored Bayern's fourth in Munich.
Hoddle reckons Chelsea should bring on a centre-forward for Pedro, and that seems fair enough to me. Now Barca have the away goal, they really need to try and sneak the win.
Suarez is booked for bitching about the penalty he didn't get - and a replay shows the contact was outside the box.
GOAL! Chelsea 1-1 Barcelona (Messi) A moment of class, and there it is! First, Suarez thinks he should have penalty when Rudiger seems to usher him grasswards, then Christensen attempts a ludicrous pass across his own box when he could just wallop clear. Iniesta intercepts on the other side of the box as Azpilicueta slides in, and with Suarez screeching for a square pass, he keeps his head - there's man who might cut it out - sliding a cut-back into Messi's path which he dispatches beautifully, passing it firmly inside the near post for his first goal against Chelsea.
Messi is having to come deep for the ball, and no one is going into the space he vacates, let alone in behind. Basically, he needs to pass to himself because no one else can be trusted.
Iniesta tries a wall-pass off Busquets and takes on the Chelsea back 17 solo - with predictable results.
