90 min: Mbappe on the counterattack, deceives Lenglet with a pass and then is face to face with the goalkeeper. He goes for the blaster in the top corner … but he misses everything, sliding the ball up and out.

87 min: Danilo limits an attack from Barcelona with an expert striker on the edge of his own area, then launches a counter. Di Maria has teammates on the left and right, with Barcelona overexposed …. but he shoots the ball.

85 min: Griezmann palms the ball high over the bar after a short move by Barcelona. PSG are almost there …

81 min: PSG are determined to attack on the wing. Mbappe slips it to Icardi, whose 16-meter finish is worse than anything Demeble has gathered today.

75 min: Alba bends the ball over the goal. Diallo does enough to keep Dembele from pushing him into the net. The striker could have had a hat-trick today if it had only been a little clearer.

74 min: Freekick in Barcelona, ​​near the left corner of the PSG box, after Florenzi wipes Messi on the grass. MEssi fixes herself in the area of ​​six yards, where Icardi removes her.

72 min: Trincao skins Diallo and then throws a high ball over the front of the goal. Alba touches her far beyond the far post and sends her back to the danger zone, but PSG clearly clears her.

70 min: There are twenty minutes left, and Barcelona need three goals just to force extra time. Sounds absurd … but the way they play, if they manage to get one soon. you feel that anything could happen ….

69 min: The last best ditch defended by Marquinhos and Danilo, sabotages another dangerous attack of Barcelona. From the resulting corner, Navas reacts intelligently to remove a header from Busquets!

67 min: Messi becomes the first player to pass the impressive Diallo since the arrival of the under, but then his cross passes over the goal.

65 min: Foxy de Pedri’s skills left wide, followed by a neat pass to the field. Barcelona work to the edge of the area, but then attack the founders on PSG’s solid defense.

63 min: PSG enjoy a possession shot in the opponent’s half. I don’t do much with that, but they will be happy as long as they keep Barça at that moment.

61 min: Barcelona’s delicious interaction … followed by an all-powerful shot in the box while Barça try to force the ball over the line. Marquinhos slides to make a magnificent block on a shot by Messi from six meters!

59 min: PSG substitution: Danilo activated, Gueye stopped, probably because he has a yellow card.

59 min: PSG replacement: Di Maria activated, Draxler stopped. The German had a small impact on the procedures.

57 min: Marquinhos comes out of the defense to intercept a pass from Messi.

55 min: at the beginning of this half, PSG suggested that Pochettino told them to press much higher and give up the withdrawal so deeply. But that didn’t last long, because Barça forced them to come back again.

53 min: Dembele makes another clever run and is chosen in the box. He manages to shake the mark and stick the ball over the front of the goal, but too far in front of any teammate.

50 min: Gueye has been dismissed after picking up his team mates. The ball is cleared off the boot of the defender, Griezmann. Again, this is symptomatic of PSG’s overall slowdown compared to their opponents.

48 min: More solid work by Diallo, which again reduces a promising explosion by Dest. But Barça is even sharper in most other areas of the pitch.

47 min: Diallo handles well in his first involvement, showing the restraint to get up and dispossess Dest, thus ending a threatening attack.

46 min: Pochettino made a change at the break, introducing Diallo to Kurzawa in the back.

BT just showed a replay of Navas’ penalty, showing that the spotkick should have been replayed, as the ball was cleared after it came out of the bar by Verratti, who was inside D when Messi executed a penalty. -ul. Strange is that VAR checked him at the time, but didn’t see him … yet they awarded a penalty earlier for an accidental step off the ball.

“After seeing that ridiculous decision, it is very clear that the problem with VAR is not the system, but the English officials,” David Singleton assails. “In yesterday’s turbulent Juve-Porto game, VAR was difficult to notice, and tonight the English officials give a ridiculous penalty. The real question is if Luiz was sent for accidental contact in the box, which seems to have been a punishment against the wolves, why wasn’t it a red card? Stupid decisions are one thing, but inconsistencies are astonishing. “

What a half it was! It leaves us with many reasons to believe that this tie is alive, after all. Barcelona could have already been level, but their completion was bad – except when Messi flashed one in the net from miles outside -; Dembele missed several chances, Dest had a shot pushed into the bar and Messi saved a penalty and all after PSG had passed into a seemingly insurmountable advantage due to a very lucky penalty. Pochettino must gather his players at the break, because there could be bottlenecks here. Barça has hope …

45 + 2 min: VAR check completed. The game resumes with a corner at Barça, which is hit by Busquets … and Florenzi clears the line!

Navas is on the right track and turns Messi’s scary penalty into the bar and out! Incredible! But wait, there’s an ongoing VAr review …

Anthony Taylor was given a chance to change things around. Grizamann was the first to reach the corner kick, but his header was blocked by the keeper.

43 min: This is impressive from Barça and alarming from PSG, who are on the shelf, unable to win a midpoint in midfield and look slower all over the field. Unless they manage to put the ball in the back of the net for Mbappe.

41 min: Dembele puts the ball back on the line to Busquets at the end of the box. The midfielder beats her for the first time, forcing Navas to make an awkward rescue with his knees.
