Highlights

90'

FT Roma 1-1 Barcelona

88'

Salah leads a promising counter-attack for Roma, but the loan forward from Chelsea cuts inside onto his left foot and sees his shot charged down.

86'

Needless to say, Florenzi leaves the field to quite the ovation. A special goal and a special night for him.

85'

Roma sub: Torosidis on, Florenzi off.

83'

Jordi Alba gets behind the Roma defence but the Spaniard is at full stretch and cannot get anough purchase on the cross, which De Sanctis deals well with.

82'

Roma sub: Iturbe on, Falque off.

81'

Ter Stegen gets caught in Nomansland and Pique is forced to deal with the danger. Not a convincing display by the German keeper.

80'

Exquisite play by Iniesta, who exchanges passes with Neymar but cannot squeeze the ball inside De Sanctis's near post.

79'

Still no goal for Messi on his 100th Champions League appearance. Worth noting that Messi has scored 374 goals in his last 378 games in all competitions. Staggering.

77'

CLOSE! Messi goes as close as anyone with a tremendous dipping effort that doesn't quite dip enough to go under De Sanctis's bar. Great effort though.

74'

But if anyone are going to make the breakthrough here it's Roma. They are pinning Barcelona back at the moment and the reigning European champions do not look comfortable.

72'

Messi, who has been quiet in the second half, spots the run of Neymar - but the pass is over hit and rolls out for a goal kick. Frustration for Barcelona here.

70'

68'

PENALTY? Dzeko is handhandled to the ground in the box but nothing is given - and Rudy Garcia is going ballistic on the touchline.

66'

Barca sub: Mascherano on, Rafinha off.

64'

Nainggolan carded for a late tackle from behind on Rafinha, who came on literally seconds ago. And the Barca man is in a bad way.

62'

Barcelona sub: Rafinha on, Rakitic off. Another below par display this season by the Croatian.

60'

Pique lucky the referee didn't see him shove Rudiger in the neck. The Spaniard getting frustrated with the Roma man's "defensive style" shall we say.

59'

Barca have plenty of players forward but a rare over hit cross by Iniesta sees the move break down.

57'

Neymar in the thick of the action again! This time he almost gets a toe on the ball to put it past De Sanctis, but the substitute goakeeper is able to clear.
