60' Substitution for Bayern Munich! Tolisso is replaced as Marc Roca gets onto the field. Roca comes from Espanyol, Barca's local rivals. Sweet revebge for the Spaniard

58' Barcelona trails possession as well as the number of passes played in the game and Bayern is pressing the Catalan side to back passes as Coman and Davies threaten from the wings

56' Most of the match being played in the midfield as Barca tries to find a way out of this. As it remains, Barca will be knocked out of UCL with a loss here
