Shakhtar Donetsk vs. Barcelona -- 2nd Leg (5-1 Barca lead)

Game of the day in the Champions League (round as well).

Donetsk (the stadium) is on fire right now. An early goal from Shakhtar will put this tie over the top.

Pedro to score first and Barca win please..

Good one Steve.

Valdes with a great save on a good run from Douglas Costa.

Keep us updated pls Shcuba Shteve!!!

Proper atmosphere. They'll force the ball over the line at least once.

Nice little flick from Jadson to Costa, but Jadson sends the ball right to Valdes after Costa's cut back.

Good spell of possession, for the first time for Barcelona. Shakhtar has been pressing well, and breaking quickly, which has stopped Barca for forming any fluidity in attack.

Shakhtar are attacking mostly down Barcelona's right. Looks like they are trying to pin Alves back, or take advantage of the space he leaves when he goes forward.

Great little run by Willian, skipped past Alves, went around Mascherano, but then he slowed up his run, allowing Mascherano to recover and force a turnover.

Shakhtar are looking good going forward, but goals are going to be tough to come by.

Kobin with a little cross into the box for Jadson, but Jadson's half volley is straight at Valdes. Could have gone anywhere else on target. Needed that one.

Messi with a crack at goal, but its straight at Pyatov.

Not a great spell of possession for Barcelona, but keeping the ball in the Donetsk half is draining the clock, which is all they need.

Would be awesome if Shakhtar turned on the sprinklers while Barcelona players celebrate on the field.

Great move from Barcelona, but Adriano's shot was cleared off the line.

Messi went for a chip after the ball fell to him in the box, but Pyatov stood up, and palmed it down.

Barcelona in the ascendancy now. Shakhtar have seemingly lost the steam that they started the game with.

Crowd is still in it though.

haha pique<3

Never a reason for him to go down like he was shot.

Shakhtar can't break the press now.

MESSI!!!

Afellay forces a save out of Pyatov. The shot was straight at Pyatov, but the movement on the ball made him work.

Messi ends it all! 9th goal in 10 UCL games!

Alves picks out Messi's simple run, and Messi takes a couple of chances before passing the ball into the net for the 1-0 (6-1) lead.

Jadson with a great free kick, but Valdes makes another good save.

Half. Can't see Shakhtar putting five beyond Barcelona. They started well, but started to fade after 25 minute.

Messi's goal was his 48th of the season.... thats a Barcelona and Spanish record.

Unlucky Dan.

Dan out £500

You'd love it if you bet £30 on Messi

What were the odds on that?
