Barcelona vs. Shakhtar Donetsk live
Minute 90+7: Final! Barcelona win 2-1, to continue with a perfect score.
Minute 90+1: Eguinaldo replaced Stepanenko at Shakhtar. 7 minutes of added time will be played.
Minute 89: Another honest shot from Stepanenko from inside the area. He was blocked in time on his way to goal by Casado. On the counter-attack, Yamal came close to scoring on two occasions: first he hit the far post on a pass and then a shot from the spot that went wide.
Minute 86: Yellow for Bondar for a very hard foul on Ferran, who was in a lot of pain.
Minute 83: Now it was Barca who came very close to converting. Yamal and Casado had it, but Shakhtar’s backline blocked both shots.
Minute 82: Close Stepanenko! Waiting for the midfielder’s volley in the heart of the area. Barely attached to Ter Stegen’s correct post.
Minute 81: Marc Casado took the field as the owner of the house, instead of Fermín, in a great game. Also, Christensen for Íñigo Martínez.
Minute 78: The facilities were saved again. Shot by Zubkov, save on the way and very close to Ter Stegen’s left post. Xavi’s side are fighting back as best they can, with a poor second half.
Minute 77: Stepanenko tried outside the area. Close to Ter Stegen’s correct post. Barca suffer in this department.
Minute 76: Brazilian Neuerton’s shot from long range. Diversion.
Minute 74: Anxiety in Barcelona, days before the Classic. Félix leaves a bit hurt and Marc Guiu enters.
Minute 70: Bucket on the field at Barca, instead of Marcos Alonso. During the visit Kelsy entered for Sikan.
Minute 68: Fermin’s third shot on the post. This time without the luck of the second shot, in which the ball ended up going in after the rebound. Fermin himself then made it 3-1 with a header, but the youth player was slightly ahead.
Minute 62: Newerton came in during the visit. Kriskiff retired.
Minute 61: Shakhtar’s goal! Barca’s defensive mistakes were noticeable from the first half and for the first time in the match the guests took advantage of them. Sudakov beat a very slow Oriole on the retreat and in front of Ter Stegen scored the deduction. Great assist from Azarovi.
Minute 58: Ferran made it 3-0 but the effort was correctly ruled out for offside by exCity.
Minute 55: In one of the first instances where getting out from the back has worked for Shakhtar, Sudakov ended the game with a shot from outside the area. Very deviant.
The second half has begun! No changes to either team.
Minute 45+2: End of first half. Tough performance from Barcelona to win 2-0 with goals from Ferran and Fermin.
Minute 42: Ferran sees Barca booked for a hard tackle at the wrong time.
Minute 39: Fermin is close again, with a superb first half. He finished from the door of the area and after a rebound on the way, his shot went just wide.

Minute 35: Great goal from Fermin! He was close to the first goal and now the youngster scores in his first Champions League start. As with the first goal, very good clearance to get into a shooting position and although his shot hit the post again, this time it ended up in the net. Great goal and 2-0.
Minute 32: Yamal completed entering the area. Quite off track.
