Evening all, and welcome to Barcelona v Internazionale! Ooh yeah!

Apparently Greizmann told an interviewer that neither he nor Messi talk much, so they don't talk much to each other. Which makes me wonder who runs the Barca dressing room with Pique, because there's not much personality there.

Barella lunges at Busquets, missing the ball and applying studs to metatarsus. He's booked.

Already Inter care concertinaing at the back. Of course they are.

So far this season, Inter have conceded fewer goals than any side in Europe's big five leagues.

GOAL! Barcelona 0-1 Internazionale (Martinez) Wow! Move over Lionel Messi! Inter wins a free-kick and it bobbles about in the centre-circle before a ricochet involving Sanchez puts Martinez through! He whips onto the ball, keeps hold of it brilliantly while holding Lenglet off, and then slides into a brilliant left-footed finish, across Ter Stegen! Have a look!

De Jong into Messi, and the ball moves over to the left before Arthur lashes a bobbler - yes, that is possible - wide of the near post.

Alexis Sanchez, who must not be able to believe his luck, hustles in possession immediately Perhaps he likes playing for a team that wins matches.

Away we go!

We see the Inter fans - I pity them. The away section at Camp Nou is the worst place in the world from which to watch football, stuck up behind chicken wire in the gods. You can't support your team - well you can, but they can't hear you - and you can't see the game. Pointless.

Here come the teams!

Clive Tyldesley is commentating - BT still have Darren Fletcher on the main game! And Peter Drury backing him up!

An absolute hive imo.

I can't see Inter getting a result tonight. The pitch at Nou Camp is a bit wide for their defence - another reason for Dembele to start.

Dortmund are about to beat Slavia ... Dortmund have beaten Slavia, 2-0. Hakimi scored both goals for them, in what was, apparently, a fine performance.

Napoli missed loads of chances in the first half, Milik the culprit; you probably guessed that.

Full-time: Genk 0-0 Napoli

Something to read on the classic version of this matchup.

I don't see Inter winning this thing. Conte is certainly possible of forcing his side through a hard tie or two, but not three two-leggers and a semi. The defence are solid enough to frustrate decent attacks, and the attack is good enough to hurt anyone on a good day, but the midfield isn't going to dominate against anyone half-decent and the bits in front and behind aren't making up the shortfall quality.

Looking at this Barca squad, I'm failing to grasp how they're not better with Dembele in for Suarez - they'd have natural width on the right and Messi in the middle. I know Dembele is inconsistent, but he'll only improve by playing, though perhaps I'm biased - the first time I saw him play, he was brilliant and I was sure he was a superstar. I think I wrote as much on this site.

That Atleti-Juve game I mentioned earlier was maybe the best I've seen so far this season. The first half was a little slow, but the second was an absolute joy. I'm not sure these teams are as good or as coherent at those, though I'm hoping both go after it.
