It's damage-limitation now for Ferencvaros.

They're heading for their eighth win in 11 games in all competitions, scoring 26 - so far - maybe things aren't so bad for Barcelona?!

GOAL! Ferencvaros 0-2 Barcelona (Martin Braithwaite): Barcelona double their advantage after another devastating move down the left. Two years ago this week Braithwaite started as a substitute for Middlesbrough in the Championship, and now he has his third goal in a week for Barca in the Champions League! Alba finds Dembele who delivers a cross into a really dangerous area and Braithwaite finishes on the slide to guide the ball into the bottom corner.

Chance! Barca almost score a carbon copy of their opener, with Dembele releasing the overlapping Alba down the left. This time his cross finds Trincao who slices his shot wide.
15'
A long, long way to go of course but as it stands Barcelona would seal top spot in the group, with Juventus being held by Dynamo Kiev.

GOAL! Ferencvaros 0-1 Barcelona (Antoine Griezmann): He's done it again! Griezmann is back on the scoresheet for Barca with a clever near-post finish from Alba's inviting low cross. Two goals in two games for Griezmann now, he's enjoying his football at the moment.

Braithwaite slips a ball into the feet of Alba after the hosts give up possession in their own half once more. Dibusz makes a smart save at his near post to deny the wingback, but the offside flag is up - it wouldn't have counted anyway.
11'
Pjanic tries a rather ambitious shot from the edge of the box, but it's blocked by Frimpong. He doesn't score many does he, Pjanic?
10'
Dest is a class act for Barcelona at right wingback. It's always a joy to watch him play.
9'
Barcelona are seeing plenty of the ball - but they're not hurting the hosts.

Close! Braithwaite should score! Dest absolutely leaves his marker for dead with a drop of the shoulder and a burst of pace down the flank. His cross isn't bad either as he picks out Braithwaite, who gets across his man but sends the ball wide of Dibusz's goal.
3'
Ferencvaros boss Rebrov, once of Tottenham and West Ham, has once again gone with the back three system that worked so effectively against Juventus.
2'
A couple of loose passes in their own half has already put Ferencvaros under pressure.

Ferencvaros come into the game bottom of the group but level, with a single point, with Dynamo Kiev, who they meet next week with a Europa League spot at stake. Serhiy Rebrov, Ferencvaros' coach, said: "Barcelona practically featured a reserve team in Kyiv, but they were just as strong, so no matter who plays, there is competition in every position."
19:40
More from Koeman: "The most important thing is to get qualified for the next round and we did that in Kyiv, but our mentality, and this is Barça, is to win every game. We want to finish top of the group and we have three points more than Juve but there’s still two games to play."
