Arsenal have been ripped apart by Lionel Messi, who looks proud as punch with the match ball under his arm. He is rightly receiving a standing ovation as the sides leave the field.

Arsenal force a corner in stoppage time. Eboeue's corner finds Eduardo and his header is over the bar.

Arsenal have been well and truly thumped here tonight.
- 89'
Messi has been relatively quiet in the second half, but there's no keeping the man down.
- 88'
Do I need to tell you who's scored? It's Messi! Eboeue is caught slightly out of position and Messi capitilises by picking the ball up and running to goal, he beats the challenge of Vermaelen to shoot. His initial shot is saved by Almunia and the composed Messi had a second bite and nutmegged Almunia with a low shot from close range.

Great play by Barca, Alves is released down the right but is offside. That was the end of a beautiful passing move by Barca.
- 83'
Arsenal are huffing and puffing but look out of their depth at the moment. Barca are playing in second gear.
- 82'
Arsenal break and Walcott is through, he hits the outside of the post with his shot but the flag is up. It wouldn't have counted.
- 81'
Messi torments the Arsenal defence again, he dribbles past most of them twice but eventually loses out to Vermaelen as he tries to put the ball on his favoured left foot inside the box.
- 80'
Pedro has decent effort after making space on the edge of the box, but he pulled his right-footed shot wide of the left post.
- 79'
Arsenal need a pick-me-up because they are lacking all that courage that saw them claw back the first leg to 2-2.
- 77'
Alves forces a corner off Clichy.
- 76'
Clichy's had a good night but that was a waste.
- 75'
Clichy races forward again and had the option of passing to Eduardo but tried an ambitious shot from distance which goes high and wide.
- 74'
The second half is now drifting towards a tepid conclusion. Barca are closing this game down in the way you'd expect them to.
- 73'
And that's the end of Rosicky's night. You have to say, he's had a bit of a stinker tonight.
- 72'
Arsenal sub: Eduardo on for Rosicky
- 71'
Bendtner hits the post with a header! Great early cross by Clichy from the left who finds Bendtner, whose powerful header hits the right post. Good header, but Arsenal needed that to hit the back of the net.
