Evening all, and welcome to Internazionale v Borusssia Dortmund!

It's very odd how ungood Barca are. I imagine that Valverde is running out of chances, though he won the league last season.

Well! Slavia have equalised against Barca and apparently the goal had been coming!

Lovely touch from Asamoah to kill Gagliardini's crossfield pass, before he finds Barella outside the box, who finds Brozovic ... and his lovely pass through a narrow lane gives Candreva a sight of goal! But he has to rush, and can only lash over the bar. Nice from Inter, but.

Barella chucks himself between Akanji and Hakimi to win a free-kick.

Off we go again...

Neither side has played well here, but a slow games suits Inter more than Dortmund, who are playing very strangely. Join me in 15 to see if they can turn it up.

Half-time: Internazionale 1-0 Borussia Dortmund

Inter need to relax themselves: Skriniar foujls Sancho needlessly, and all of a sudden Sancho weaves into the box, moving the ball wideish, away from Skriniar, before shooting low. Handanovic, who's had nothing to do until now, dives to palm away, and there's no one following up to tap home.

There'll be one added minute.

Again, the free-kick is wasted and the English ref gets in the way, allowing Candreva to break but, though he might go down when Delaney challenges him, he eventually runs out of pitch.

...which Hazard passes square to no one. But then he retrieves the clearance and drives; Brozovic sort of shows it his arse, the ball plays him under the armpit, and somehow he's not only penalised but booked.

Skriniar shoves hazard over for no good reason; free-kick Dortmund, deep inside the Inter half, on the right touchline...

Another long ball catches Lukaku offside. You can't just make straight runs and hope your opponents oblige by standing still.

Inter knock it about before De Vrij sends it forward, seeking Gagliardini ... who runs out of pitch.

Jonathan Pearce is so bored he's waxing lyrical about the ref who is, of course, English.

IK'm not sure what Dortmund are expecting here. You don't score against Godin, De Vrij and Skriniar by not sending men forward.

This is not a good game. The sides are doing a fine job of interrupting each other.

Candreva launches a cross towards Lautaro and he's never getting there, but Akanji makes sure by easing him to the ground. He wants a penalty, but the ref is having no such thing so he calls the physio on instead.

Nice from Sancho, turning up on the left to beat Godin on the outside and tee up Witsel, who spanks a shot over the bar. It's something, I guess.

Asamoah then heads a way a painfully deep and unthreatening corner.

Hakimi gets down the right but delays his cross and Asamoah blocks behind.
