    Koke drives the ball into the heart of the visiting box. Pique none too convincing before Busquets sweeps clear. Atletico certainly carrying more menace here.
    52'
    Alves knocks the ball to Rakitić, but his first touch is dreadful as the ball is sent spinning out of play. Pretty grim stuff.
    51'
    Difficult to see where Barcelona's goal is going to come from at the moment. Looking strangely lethargic when you think about them last season in winning this tournament.
    50'
    FC Barcelona
    FC Barcelona have failed to win their last 10 CL away matches (and lost the last six) in which they were trailing at half-time, since a 2-1 win at Shakhtar Donetsk on 1 October 2008.
    49'
    Dani Alves decides to try his luck from distance but succeeds only in lifting the ball well over the bar. Poor attempt really.

    Jordi Alba brings down Juanfran before Godin launches it long. Last action of the first half. A 1-0 lead for Atletico at the break. As we stand, the home side are heading through.

    Brilliant break by Atletico ends with Carrasco forcing Ter Stegen to make a smart stop low to his left. That shot was heading in if the keeper didn't get down to it.

    Quite incredibly, Atletico have only enjoyed 26 percent of the possession as Neymar sees a shot from distance land straight in the arms of Oblak in the home goal.
    40'
    Carrasco furious with the officials after he seemed to earn a corner kick off the boot of Mascherano only to see a goalkick awarded.
    39'
    Suárez with a silly foul on Godín, Takes the pressure off Atletico as Simeone has a word with Carrasco about what he is looking for.
    38'
    STAT: Antoine Griezmann has now scored 10 goals in his last 12 appearances for club and country. It is his first goal in seven matches for Atlético against FC Barcelona (all competitions).
    37'
    Quite remarkable this outcome. Barca now need to find a goal here otherwise they will be heading out of the tournament. All to play for. Barca's defence nowhere really.

    GOAL! Griezmann plants a header beyond Ter Stegen from the penalty box. Lovely cross by Saúl Ñíguez. No chance for the visiting keeper as he dived to his left. Game on now. Atletico with a 1-0 lead.
    35'
    Ter Stegen yet to make a save, but Neymar, Messi and Suarez have yet to do anything at the other end for the visiting team.
    34'
    Some fine driving play by Iniesta in midfield. Ball breaks to Messi, but he is closed down quickly from 22 yards before he can get a shot away. Touch tight marking by the home team.
    33'
    The home manager Diego Simeone looks frustrated as Koke is penalised for a late challenge on Rakitić.
