Hello and welcome to LIVE text commentary of the Champions League last 16, second-leg clash between Barcelona and Arsenal at the Nou Camp. The Gunners face a mammoth task to turn the tie around after losing the first leg 2-0 at Emirates Stadium. The Catalans boast one of the finest attacking triumvirates in history and it would surely be one of the greatest comebacks ever if Arsene Wenger masterminds something special tonight. Arsenal’s season is in danger of imploding once again and a positive display – even in the face of probable elimination - is vital if they are to get back on track. Kick off 19.45 GMT.

GOAL!!!! Arsenal are level on the night. A great move down the right sees Sanchez cut it back to Mohamed Elneny who fires a stunning 20-yard strike into the top corner (Barca lead 3-1 on aggregate).

50'

The resulting corner is cleared and Neymar's charge through the midfield on the counter attack is rudely brought to a halt by Sanchez. A yellow card is not far behind for the Arsenal forward.

49'

A good spell for the visitors. Welbeck and Sanchez combine to tee up Iwobi on the left who fires in a cross-shot that deflects into the side netting.

48'

Bellerin gets forward once more and clips in a dangerous cross that Barca get clear on the stretch.

47'

Only one team has beaten Barcelona by at least two clear goals at the Camp Nou in the Champions League in the last 12 seasons: Bayern Munich in May 2013 (3-0).

KICK OFF! Barca restart the match leading 1-0 on the night and 3-0 on aggregate. Arsenal need three goals without reply to go through. The tallest of orders.

45+2'

HT: Barca 1-0 Arsenal. Neymar's strike has made it 3-0 on aggregate to the Catalans but Arsenal have had their moments. Sanchez has missed a great chance with a header while Iwobi was unlucky not win a penalty after he appeared to be caught by Mascherano.

Messi with another moment where he appears to have glue on his boot. The Barca maestro runs into a wall of Arsenal players and almost sneaks right through. Only a last-ditch touch denies the Argentine a clear sight of goal.

41'

Arsenal ending the half on a high. Welbeck exchanges a one-two with Iwobi but is just about challenged out of it by Mascherano as he looked to guide a shot into the far corner from the left of the area.

40'

A big chance goes begging for the Gunners. Bellerin motors into space on the right and clips a sumptuous cross into the middle for Sanchez who guides a free header wide of the far post. He should have scored.

39'

Arsenal have had some decent half chances in this half. Some have been long-range shots but they've asked a few questions. So far, no joy.

38'

Iwobi juggles the ball to his left as he collects a right-wing cross in the area but lashes a rising shot way over the top.

36'

Monreal gets forward down the left and hangs up a cross to the far post but Welbeck can't make up the ground to get near it.

35'

Gabriel booked for protesting too much following that tackle on Iwobi.

34'

PENALTY APPEAL! Arsenal defend the corner and get it clear. Iwobi races into the left side of the Barca area on the break and goes down under an accidental challenge from Mascherano. The Argentine appeared to clip the youngster's heel. The referee waves it away. It's a tough call for the visitors. It looked like a spot kick.

33'

Suarez tries to tee up Messi for a volley but Gabriel sticks out a boot that hooks it behind his own goal for a corner. Last-ditch stuff form the Gunners.

32'

Flamini barges into the back of Iniesta and picks up the game's first booking.
