    Back come the chaps.

    It appears that both Manchester City and Arsenal have equalised, Silva for City, Giroud from the penalty spot for Arsenal. After that, Cavani threw a hand at Ramsey, though remains on the pitch.

    Half-time: Celtic 0-1 Barcelona. Celtic are doing their best, but Barcelona are too good. Just call me John.
    45'
    There shall be one added minute.
    45'
    Mix-up in the Barcelona box, as Sergi Roberto, Jordi Alba and Mascherano get in each other's way with Dembele pressuring. But Rogic can't quite find his way to the ball and eventually they clear with customary finesse.

    Sinclair has looked dangerous on the odd occasions he's had the ball, and he accelerates towards the Barca box, so Alba slides in, lifts up a leg, and ensures the trip. He's booked.

    Oooooh, this is a save! Messi turns up on the right, diddles Izaguirre by dragging the ball down the side of him onto his right foot and then chips a perfect cross into the middle, where Suarez is arriving. He meets the ball on the running jump, but places his effort close enough for Gordon to flick up and arm and beat clear.
    40'
    This is two-thirds true. Can you guess which two-thirds?
    39'
    Better from Celtic, building from the back and eventually finding Dembele, who against squares his man up - this time, it's Mascherano - who does really well in the tackle.

    Sinclair finds Dembele just outside the box, left-hand side, and he squares Pique up then bursts past him, curling hard towards the far corner. But, good effort though it is, Ter Stegen is wise to it and saves at the second attempt.
    36'
    Celtic get away with one here. Brown looks forward, seeking McGregor, who doesn't show for him, and Celtic are forced backwards. Simunovic then loiters in possession, Neymar dashes in, and should shoot, but looks for a pass instead and Izaguirre sees it away.
    35'
    In case you was wondering...
    34'
    Suarez pounces on Brown outside the box and nips the ball into the box, but Sviatchenko does brilliantly to lumber across and shoulder-thunk him right out of it.
    32'
    Suarez knocks the ball one side of Izaguirre, runs around the other, and when he sees no chance of collecting the ball leaps over his back, writhes, and claims a foul. The ref is unmoved.
    31'
    Lustig has a little foray down the right, so Mascherano dumps him on his pieholder and skulks away with the ball.
    30'
    Here's Orko's goal.
    28'
    Gladbach now lead City 1-0, so if the scores stay the same, the two teams will be level on seven points.
    26'
    It's been bothering me for ages, but I know of whom Messi reminds me.

    GOAL! CELTIC 0-1 BARCELONA (MESSI) This is perfect simplicity. Neymar, out on his flank, clips a ball over the top and into space on the near side of the box, whereupon Messi arrives, allows it to bounce, and sweeps a perfect finish low and hard inside the near post.

    Sviatchenko pulls back Messi and is booked.
