Lionel Messi hit the post 91 seconds after the break. Philippe Coutinho had scored 92 seconds into the game. Not quick starters, Spurs.

Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris comes chasing out of his box and this time gets it right.

Liverpool are left to right in the second half, with Mo Salah seemingly back in the centre, shunting Roberto Firmino out to the right. The Apprentice has just started on BBC One, you know.

Wow. When Messi wants to accelerate he runs as fast with the ball as he does without it, there's no difference.

Spurs are lucky it didn't bounce back to him off the post otherwise it's hard to see how Spurs would of got anything out this game.

This is just a continuation of the first half and Barcelona almost make it three. Lionel Messi glides along the pitch to the edge of the box as he strikes an effort off the post.

The hunt for a goal resumes...

The second half is under way. Will Spurs be better? They need to be.

It looks like Spurs have tried to press but they've not laid a glove on them.

Spurs need to start winning balls in Barcelona's defensive half, that's really when they'll punish them.

Aaron: I get wanting to play a little more conservatively but it seems this new style is strangling what made Liverpool such a force last season: their blistering intensity.

Tottenham are two (or more) goals down at half-time in a Champions League game for just the second time, the other being at Inter Milan in October 2010 (4-0) - aka the Gareth Bale hat-trick game.

A lesson in efficiency from Barcelona, you give these top players a sniff they'll punish you.

A mistake from Hugo Lloris and a superb strike from Rakitic has left Spurs with a huge mountain to climb.

Lots of huffing and puffing, but no real sign of either house being blown down.

Boos at half-time. For the referee? For Spurs? Either way Barcelona fully deserve this lead - they've been very good.

Lionel Messi is rolling round but he appeared to just run into Kieran Trippier. Home fans aren't happy.

Paul: Are Liverpool playing for the draw here? Very little attacking intent so far. It's like watching Man Utd at points...

James Milner in the book. Rightly so. His studs go sliding into Allan's ankle.

But should this be a red?

PSV boss Marc van Bommel is fuming on the sidelines. Inter keeper Samir Handanovic comes out and clearly handles the ball outside his area as Steven Bergwijn looks to get past him.

Referee Milorad Mazic only brandishes a yellow.

Three minutes of injury time as Luis Suarez's shot is blocked for a corner.

Wembley very quiet and subdued right now as an air of inevitability has settled over proceedings. Some fast talking required from Mauricio Pochettino at half-time.
