Woeful. Pirlo works it short but when Juventus finally toss it into the middle there is no-one in sight. Ter Stegen plucks it out of the sky.
34'
Good work by Vidal on the left leads to another corner.
33'
Juventus are getting into some decent positions on the flanks but so far the delivery into the area hasn't been good enough. Another opportunity falls for Pogba to cross but he finds a Barca shirt once more.
32'
Twitter still lauding that opening goal. Lots of graphics of the move and now the stat that it was 16 passes in the making.
31'
A great photo of Buffon's earlier save from Alves via the @championsleague Twitter feed.
30'
A Barca free kick is whipped into the area but they don't have the aerial presence in there and Buffon comes to claim.

Neymar drifts in from the left and picks up a pass from Messi before firing in a low effort that Buffon saves with ease.

Evra fizzes a low cross into the area that Alba fails to clear and when it rolls for Marchisio the Italian blazes a 25 yarder over the crossbar.
24'
Half chance for Morata as the ball falls to him on the edge of the box, but he sweeps his curler wide of the far post.

Barcelona aiming for a fifth CL crown tonight. Their first win was over the Italians from Sampdoria in 1992 and their three other wins in the last decade have been against English clubs, beating Arsenal in 2006 and Manchester United in both 2009 and 2011.

The resulting corner comes to nothing but it's been a decent couple of moments for the Old Lady.
19'
Neat approach play from Pogba sees him clip a low ball into the area from the left but Mascherano is there once more to stab it away on the stretch.

Rakitic fires a low corner into the area where Alba arrives with perfect timing but the full back drills just over. Juventus caught out again but come away unscathed.
15'
Vidal with another clumsy challenge. He's already walking a fine line after that early booking. Barca work the resulting free kick into the area and win a corner.

GREAT SAVE! Buffon does well to keep out Alves' 10-yard drive after Suarez had drifted to the right byline and cut it back into the Brazilian's path.
