34'

It's gone a bit scrappy all of a sudden and that may suit PSG.

33'

PSG work the left-sided free kick into the area but Barca all push out as one, leaving Cavani to be flagged offside.

32'

Pique booked for blocking off Matuidi.

31'

Mascherano went off for some treatment after that last-ditch challenge. He's still limping a bit but should be okay to continue.

30'

Meanwhile, Bayern have pulled a back in Porto.

29'

A supreme break from a Barca corner almost sees PSG get level. Matuidi and Lavezzi combine on the left to free Cavani whose first touch is too heavy and he can't quite slide a pass into the area. Great recovery from Mascherano. Cavani could well have had a clear shot at goal if his touch had been better.

28'

Cavani flagged off after sneaking clear from Luiz's clipped pass over the top. PSG struggling to create anything here.

27'

26'

Lovely feet from Neymar as he bamboozles a trio of PSG defenders before firing in a tame low shot that Sirigu saves at his near post.

25'

Will Luiz's hamstring hold up? He's had barely any recovery time since the injury.

24'

23'

A rare foray forward for PSG sees Lavezzi float a ball into the area towards Cavani but ter Stegen reads it and comes off his line to claim.

22'

If this pattern continues the tie could be over tonight.

21'

PSG sub: Silva off, Luiz on.

19'

Silva has gone to the bench following that goal. PSG down to 10 for the timebeing.

18'

GOAL! Messi leads a quickfire Barca break and slips in Neymar who makes no mistake with a low finish into the far corner from the left of the area.

Barcelona have found the back of the net in all the last 18 European games against a French opponent, while PSG have failed to score only once over the last 13 meetings in Europe versus a Spanish side.

16'

Neyamr with a half chance from the left of the area... over the crossbar.

15'

Barca dictating the play and slowly beginning to force the hosts further and further back.
