The away side had nearly 20 chances this evening, but couldn't convert any of them and as Celtic beat Spartak Moscow 2-1 in Glasgow it is the SPL side who progress. Benfica are out.
90'+6
FULL TIME! That's it at Camp Nou. Barcelona 0-0 Benfica.
90'+5
One final attack for Benfica - CHANCE FOR MAXI PEREIRA BUT HE SHOOTS OVER!!! Rodrigo went through one-on-one but his touch was poor, the ball eventually fell to Maxi Pereira and he launched it over the bar from 15 yards...
90'+4
Poor delivery as Planas heads clear at the front post. Benfica come at Barcelona again... Long throw from Maxi Pereira coming up... Puyol heads away. Cesar gets a shot in but it's weak. That could be Benfica's last chance...
90'+3
Corner for Benfica. Expect the kitchen sink here...
90'+2
Villa is caught offside as Barca get forward, but the play immediately goes up the other end as Benfica seek the goal that would completely change the face of Group G.
90'+1
Five minutes will be added on here. Pinto almost comes a cropper as he dallies on the ball inside his area.
90'
Into the final minutes of scheduled time now, and Benfica boss Jorge Jesus gives some last-ditch instructions to his players...
88'
Deulofeu winds his way through a few challenges and gets a shot off, but it's wide.
88'
So Barcelona down to 10 men now, and there will be a few minutes added on at the end for that too.
87'
Messi is stretchered off with what looks like an injury to his left knee.
85'
Messi appears to have injured himself in that passage of play. Barca have used all of their substitutions...
84'
Messi through, he rounds the 'keeper, Artur gets a hand on the ball, Messi turns and tries to chip the retreating Artur but the Benfica man recovers and saves!
83'
Latest from Glasgow - Celtic have taken the lead with a penalty against Spartak. As it stands Celtic go through, and Benfica go out.
82'
Benfica on the front foot now but a wayward pass sees the move break down.
81'
Into the final 10 minutes now and Benfica still looking for a way through, but Barcelona seem to be in control of the game now...
79'
Messi takes the free-kick but Artur has it well covered.
78'
Vilanova uses the break in play to replace Tello with Deulofeu...
78'
Matic clatters into Messi on the edge of the area and gives away a free-kick. He picks up a yellow too. Chance for the home side here...
