Evening all. Welcome along to the live text coverage for this finely-poised Champions League last-16 second leg tie between Barcelona and Lyon. It was a goalless draw back in France a few weeks ago, making it winner-takes-all tonight, while a score draw would also see Lyon through. Barca will be favourites, but this is no foregone conclusion, particularly given the results we’ve seen in the knockouts already. Now let’s take a look at the teams…

End of 2nd Half
FT
Barca are through to the quarter-finals for a 12th straight season!
We had a contest on our hands after Lyon's goal, but Messi soon turned it into a non-contest. Two goals and two assists for the magician, and Barca go into the pot for Friday's draw.
90'
Just two minutes added on.

Elsewhere... Liverpool are through!
Four English teams in the quarter-finals.

GOAL! A FIFTH FOR BARCA!
Two goals, and now two assists for Messi, who plays it over for Dembele to fire in a deflected effort. Harsh on Lyon, but it's turning into a rout.

ANOTHER GOAL FOR BARCA!
Pique gets Barca's fourth after joining their attack on a devastating counter. Messi picks him out from nowhere and Pique is there to tap in at the back post.

GOAL MESSI! THAT IS DELIGHTFUL
Gorgelin gets a hand to the effort, but he can't prevent Messi from getting his second of the night after dancing his way through Lyon's defence, sending two defenders the wrong way before shooting. Lovely.

Barca stuck in third gear at the moment, looking capable of turning on the style if they want to, but look torn on how much they should attack.

And now it's Vidal for Arthur!

WIDE! Down the other end, Coutinho rounds Gorgelin, but it's too tight an angle and he can't find the target. Difficult to wrap his foot around that.
67'
HALF CHANCE! Difficult for Depay, on the turn, but he can only scuff an effort from six yards out or so.
65'
Yup.
63'
JUST OVER! A tough angle for Fekir, but he only fires a whisker over the bar with Ter Stegen worried.

One goal and Lyon are through!

THE GOAL STANDS!
What a long wait, but the goal is rightly given.
Game on!
