End of 2nd Half
90+2'
FT: Barcelona 5-1 Ferencvaros. Messi (pen), Fati, Coutinho, Pedri and Dembele do the damage to get Barca's CL campaign off to a good start. Pique was sent off to slightly blot the copybook for the hosts, allowing Kharatin to grab a consolation from the spot.

SAVE! Neto pulls off a smart save to deny the visitors once more and Lenglet completes the clearance on the stretch.

Barca have regained their composure now, despite being a man down. It's been routine-ish. The defence remains a weakness though.

Kharatin booked.

All hands to the pump for that Barca rearguard as Busquets throws his body in the way of a shot. This didn't look likely around the hour mark.
80'
The visitors are pushing hard. If they can nick in another goal in the next few minutes this could get very interesting.

It's all Frencvaros now. What a change in the dynamic of this game.

The visitors have their tails up. Barca had looked in cruise control, but with a man down will hope to stand firm now.
