Thanks for joining us. We'll have the draw for the next round on Friday at 1100 GMT. See you then!
For the first time ever in the Champions League, a first-leg deficit has been overturned, and in some style too. Barcelona were exceptional, but Milan had their chances so will feel they have no-one to blame but themselves.

<B>FT. BARCELONA 4-0 MILAN.</B> Messi was the difference in the first half, Villa netted the key goal, then Milan weren't able to get back into the game despite some good chances. Alba finished them off and Barcelona are into the hat for the next round.
- 92'
Oh, Mexes almost gets one back! He hammers a shot from way out, and Valdes was not getting there. But it flew wide.
- 92'
An incredible piece of play from Robinho, who chose to take a short free-kick and left his team up the other end as Barca broke. Alba pounced and deserves a goal, he has been immense.
- 91'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Messi took it, fed Alba and Milan were dreaming. Alba slips the ball under the goalkeeper and it's 4-0!!!
- 91'
Terrible short ball and Muntari is caught on the ball... Barca break
- 91'
Milan are pushing up for what could be their last chance. Puyol fouls Boateng, and the launched ball is coming...
- 90'
Three added minutes
- 89'
Messi takes over and tries to curl a shot in like he did for the first goal, but this time it is blocked. As Milan break, Robinho is furious that he was flagged offside.
- 89'
Adriano breaks - he slips it to Iniesta and then runs inside and it breaks to Alves who tries to cross. The ball is deflected behind, but this will be a short one.
- 88'
Barca fans are getting nervous. The jeers come as Milan control the ball and try to work an opening.
- 87'
Montolivo swings the ball in, but Pique is there to stop Bojan and El Shaarawy in the box. This is the best that Milan have played in the game.
- 87'
Messi and Busquets link up. Messi drives at the heart of the Milan defence, but slips the ball to Sanchez who loses it.
- 86'
Milan controlling the possession and Adriano has to leap to head away with Abate lurking.
- 85'
Sanchez is chasing the ball down, but he hasn't had much impact thus far. Milan look more likely to score at the moment and that would win them the game!
- 84'
Alba again impresses in the attacking third and gets away and into the box, but the strength of Zapata holds him off and prevents the cross from coming in.
- 83'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Pedro wanders off, Adriano comes on.
- 83'
Pique stumbles when facing his own goal and almost loses the ball to the advancing Robinho.
- 82'
Boateng jumps with Valdes for the ball, but there was only ever going to be one winner there and the goalkeeper claims the ball with ease.
- 81'
Bojan works an opening down the left with a brilliant cutback. Robinho almost pounces on the ball, but Alba is there again to deny him with a fine tackle.
- 80'
Robinho cuts inside and feeds Muntari on the edge of the box, but Alba puts in a crunching tackle to deny the Ghanaian.
- 79'
Sometimes it looks like the ball is attached to Messi's foot via some string... this was one of those times as he dances away from about three tackles before eventually running out of room on the right.
- 78'
A lovely ball through finds Alexis, who rounds the goalkeeper and scores. However, he is offside. Only just though.
- 77'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Mascherano comes off, Puyol on.
