Barcelona are showing Atletico Madrid plenty of respect and are a lot more cautious than we are used to seeing them. They are committing less players forward in their attacks than they do against most other sides and are instead trying to build patiently. It could take a while, if at all, before we see an opening goal.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino on Sky Sports: "It was a tough game. I am happy for the result but we need to play the second leg in Sheffield and win. Sheffield United played very aggressive in the first half and cut every action, played narrow and deep and it was difficult.

"Now we need to look forward and try to win the second game. It will be a difficult game, they played well and we need to go and be focused."

Lionel Messi is in full flight as he whizzes off down the right, crosses into the area for Neymar but Juanfran does enough to put the Brazil forward off and his header is no danger to Jan Oblak's goal.

Barcelona have the first attack of the game when Juanfran shows Jordi Alba too much space and he takes full advantage, racing away down the left before crossing into the area. The ball is headed away but only to Dani Alves, whose floated effort drifts wide of goal.

Sheffield United boss Nigel Clough on Sky Sports: "We are still in the tie, although disappointed with the deficit. I thought we were comfortable at 0-0 and it is a mistake.

"In the first half we were good and caused them problems. It is difficult to have the belief you can get a goal when you come here but I can't fault their work ethic or spirit.

"We are in it, you heard the noise 4,000 fans were making and when 25,000 are in our place next week, it is going to be special. We are going to give it everything we can."

Fancy Fernando Torres to add to his two goals against Real Madrid? Well it isn't going to happen. He is replaced at half-time by Mario Mandzukic and we are under way in the second half.

Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen talking to Sky Sports: "We wanted to keep a clean sheet and score a couple of goals, but one was not too bad. The clean sheet is very important. Sheffield United are a good team and I have much respect for them."

Mauricio Pochettino takes his Tottenham squad north to Sheffield United for the second leg next Wednesday, with Nigel Clough's side still very much in this.

Right, stick with us for reaction from the game but our main focus will switch now to the Copa del Rey, where Messi and the lads are in action.

"Yes it has been up and down for Spurs but they keep chipping away and getting those wins. But Emmanuel Adebayor has reached a stage where clubs have invested in him and not got much back, since his Arsenal days really. It would be a big risk for somebody to invest in his wages."

We've reached the half-time break at the Nou Camp and it's honours even. Luis Suarez could have given Barcelona the lead when one-on-one with Jan Oblak but the former Liverpool striker fired over the bar. Earlier, Antoine Griezmann headed over when unmarked, wasting Atletico's best chance.

Jordan, Barnsley: After what Bradford did two years ago, I'm not writing off United's chances by any means.

Bradford secured a 4-3 aggregate victory over Aston Villa to reach the League Cup final in 2013.

"That was a very well drilled side. Every player knew how to do their job and Nigel Clough had them well drilled. The Tottenham players are going off the pitch looking slightly disappointed. They know this is not over."

Sheffield United again push forward but there is not enough time to try and force an equaliser. The final whistle goes, but a good result for Sheffield United. This tie is far from over.

"I think Sheffield United have realised that Spurs have not been better than them. Their confidence has grown as the game heads towards its finish and are having a go."

Sheffield United, to their credit, are still pushing forward and Jamie Murphy curls a dipping effort wide.

The fourth official walks to the edge of the pitch and holds up his board, three minute of time added on.

A second change for Sheffield United as Kieran Wallace is on for Stefan Scougall, before Paulinho then fires a low shot straight at Mark Howard. Three minutes left for Tottenham to get a potentially title-deciding second, or Sheffield United to equalise.
