Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Champions League game between Barcelona and Juventus.

That's full time. Barcelona looked back to something like their best, and most importantly, so did Messi. Juventus were absolutely fine in the first half, a tad frustrated perhaps, but the home side just swept them away in the second period.

There will be two minutes of added time.

A late, pointless challenge from Caligara into Sergio gets him a yellow card. Maybe Paul Scholes is his hero.

Caligara on for Higuain.

Andre Gomes is on for Iniesta.

Benatia's header seems to be bundled away by Pique's hand, but the referee isn't interested. It seems like the shadow of UNICEF continues to loom large over European football.

Suarez thinks he's scored. He picks up a fumbled cross by Buffon and stabs it home, but Alba was offside when he ran onto Messi's pass.

Spurs legend Paulinho comes on for Rakitic.

Barcelona are sitting back, but don't seem panicked by Juventus's efforts. Bernadeschi shots from distance, and it bobbles towards Ter Stegen.

Dembele off for Sergi Roberto.

GOAL! Barcelona 3-0 Juventus. Messi scores - Iniestia finds him 40 yards out of goal, so Messi simply jogs into the box, never letting the ball go, and drives his low shot past Buffoon.

The heart seems to have gone out of Juventus.

Bernadeschi slices a shot towards the top corner, and it skews away.

Bernadeschi on for Juventus.

Rakitic swings in the corner, and Suarez is penalised for a push.

Messi forces Buffon to skip to his right to parry away a free kick aimed at the top corner. Corner for Barcelona.

Barzagli drags down Dembele as he looked to be through on goal (though there was a little cover), and he gets booked. Free kick, 25 yards out.

Valverde - and it is early days - might actually be coaching players to improve, instead of just buying new ones.

GOAL! Barcelona 2-0 Juventus. Rakitic scores - Messi sprints in form the right, passes into the box. Barzagli falls as he punts the ball away, but it's straight to Rakitic to clip into the net.

Lionel Messi has been absolutely bantered off. Messi asked for a yellow for a challenge, grabbed the ref by the neck, and got booked as a result. He should have gone for the further dissent.
