Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Champions League last 16 first leg between Lyon and Barcelona. We'll bring you all the action as it happens. Kick off is at 20:00.

Messi usually scores them! Indeed, he should have at least found the target there. The cut back was made by Alba, but Messi curls his left-footed shot wide of the target. Not great.

Rakitic... not far wide! Just for a moment it appeared the Croatian's shot from the edge of the Lyon box was about to settle in the far corner of the Lyon net, but it flashes wide. Close.

Messi's shot is blocked! The Argentinean wins the ball back and drives towards goal. He takes the strike, but Denayer comes across to make the last gasp block to deny him. Solid.

Depay looks to be in the mood for Lyon tonight. The former Manchester United winger has really revived his career in France. This is a big chance for him to show what he can do.

Wild from Dembele! The Barcelona winger should have done better with that opportunity. He shifted the ball nicely on to his left foot on the edge of the box, but fires well over.

Barcelona can't afford to take Lyon lightly. The French side have already beaten Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain this season. They have real quality in the attacking third.

Lyon have come close to scoring twice now. They aren't going to stand off Barcelona. They want to score this evening. They want to take a lead to Camp Nou and give themselves a chance of going through.

What a save! Wow! Incredible save from Ter Stegen. Terrier lets rip from 20 yards out, his shot appeared to be heading for the back of the net, but the Barca keeper tipped it on to the crossbar.

This has been a very entertaining start to this match. There is plenty of space to exploit and both teams have the first though to attack whenever they receive the ball. A lot of fun, so far.

Ter Stegen is called upon! Auoar gets the shot away on the edge of the Barcelona penalty area, but the German goalkeeper was down quickly to push it around his post. Good effort.

Over the bar! Not one of Messi's best efforts. He lined up the freekick 20 yards out, but it was tame from the Barcelona number 10, who floats his shot over the target. Lops wasn't worried.

An early yellow card shown to Auoar, who brings down Messi right on the edge of the Lyon penalty area.

Early chance! Well, that could have been a very early goal for Barcelona. Dembele was released in behind, but from a tight angle the French winger put his shot across the face and wide.

The match is under way! It's Lyon against Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Okay, here we go. About to get started in Lyon. Kick off is just seconds away.

The two teams are out on the pitch, the Champions League anthem has been observed. Nobody sang along to it, Ronaldo-esque.

This has the potential to be one of the ties of the round. Lyon have the ability to give Barcelona real problems.
