39'

Barca have enjoyed 65 per cent of possession so far.

38'

Messi, of all people, gets in a handy challenge on Srna to break up a Shakhtar attack...

37'

Lionel Messi has fired in 20 shots on target, more than any other player in the Champions League this season.

36'

And Barca should be able to relax a little now. They certainly needed a second goal, considering Shakhtar's threat going forward.

35'

That was a simply brilliant goal... route one stuff, but perfectly executed.

34'

GOAL! Barca go two up thanks to Dani Alves! Iniesta sends a long ball over the top to Alves who controls brilliantly to take him past the advancing Pyatov before he slots home into an empty net!

33'

Great ball from Xavi finds Adriano on the front foot on the Barca left... but the Shakhtar defence holds firm this time.

32'

Villa plays the ball to Alves out wide, but this time the move comes to nothing.

31'

Barcelona have allowed their opponents fewer shots on target against them than any other team in the Champions League.

30'

A moment of indecision from Pique nearly lets Luiz Adriano in again! He gets away with it this time, but the visitors' threat is still very much appparent.

29'

Villa looks to make some space for a shot on the edge of the area... but his eventual effort is rather tame.

28'

Douglas Costa does well to get to the by-line before centring! But Busquets is there will a crucial interception!

27'

Barce have completed 204 passes already to Shaktar's 66. That's what they do.

26'

Villa fires a shot just wide of Pyatov's upright from outside the box! Barca are starting to really threaten now.

25'

Messi jinks through the Shakhtar defence before laying the ball off for Alves! But the Brazilian opts not to shoot, instead dinking a cross over... but it's over everyone's heads!

24'

Xavi swings it across... Busquets flicks it on at the near post... it falls for Pique! But the defender's control lets him down and the chance goes begging!

23'

Villa, who hasn't scored for six games, wins a corner now...

22'

Mascherano is unhappy with Jadson's challenge here... but there was no malice in it at all and the Argentine just seems to be picking a fight with the Brazilian... funny, that...

21'

The team that has knocked Arsenal out of the Champions League in the last seven seasons has gone on to lose their next knockout match. It's not looking that way at the moment, but interesting anyway.

20'

Twenty minutes gone and Barca have edged the opening to the game, although Shakhtar pose a clear threat on the break.

19'

Messi! Ooh! He attempts to dink over the keeper but Pyatov is too tall and simply plucks the ball out of the air!
