Evening all, and welcome to Barcelona v Internazionale! Ooh yeah!

Messi curls into the top of the wall, winning a corner.

It's possible Brozovic got the ball there, but Messi forced him into a risky challenge.

More of the same, Barca with unthreatening possession, Inter looking sharp on the counter. Messi, though, runs by Brozovic who slides in and brings him down; free-kick 25 yards out, right of centre.

Messi takes it for a walk from the right hand side of the box, moving inside. He finds Sergi Roberto, who can't find him in return.

Barca haven't lost at home in Europe for 32 games, when they were beaten by Bayern Munich in the 2013 semi.

Off we go again...

Inter have been well worth that lead - it was a lovely goal, and they've been closer to a second than Barca have been to an equaliser. They're faster, stronger and better organised. That's a lot for skill to override.

Half-time: Barcelona 0-1 Internazionale

Messi into Arthur at inside-left and his first touch takes him past his man but wide and, forced to screw his shot, it goes over the bar.

Skriniar fouls Suarez; free-kick Barca, 35 yards out. Messi curls straight at Handanovic.

Another sweeping move from Inter, Sanchez involves on the right before the ball goes left to Sensi. Inside the box, he forces into space for Sanchez to attack, but his header is wide of the near post.

Barca lack pace and power. You can't get away with that if you plan to be the best side in the world.

Inter move from one end to the other, De Vrij and Handanovic starting things before they move the ball down the right then through midfield and over to Sensi. He darts into Martinez, who plays the wall, and bursting onto the tee-up, he curls hard and just over the top; what a goal that would've been! Inter are by far the better side here.

De Jong clips into the box and Handanovic rushes out to punch; Semedo thrashes the loose ball into orbit.

Candreva keeps the width and whips in a glorious cross! Martinez is up too, and makes a very acceptable connection ... but Ter Stegen, moving to his right, comes back towards his left, a strong hand pranging it away from close to his ankle.That's a very good save.

Sensi turns on the ball, conning Sergi Roberto into fouling him. He's played well so far.

Osimhen has equalised for Lille against Chelsea.

Barca have done almost nothing. They're missing an attacking midfielder and a centre-forward.

Inter are all over this, Sensi finding Martinez, who plays into Sanchez's feet. He rolls Lenglet, transferring the ball into Barella's stride, but Ter Stegen saves hsi shot.

On the touchline, Antonio Conte does his nut.

Inter are happy for Semedo to have the ball, and he's getting a lot of it. Barca are playing much too slowly, and are far too predictable.
