Barcelona vs Newcastle United

Philippe Christanval is brought on in his place - an early and unwanted change for Barcelona

Play is stopped, and the Dutch international is receiving treatment. He may well have to come off here...

Solano gets another cross in, which Reiziger swings at and misses - he gets away with it but has injured himself in taking a swing at that one...

Good response from Newcastle, who are showing that they can string together some good attacking moves here

Lua Lua breaks and looks for Ameobi - it's cleared... Solano crosses and Michael Reiziger is the defender in the right place

Motta and Dani link again, and the busy Overmars has it again... he tumbles inside the area under a challenge but the ref waves play on

Straight to the other end - Riquleme shoots, and Newcastle block

Lua Lua charges forward - Robert fires in a low cross and Solano can't quite convert with the home defence struggling somewhat

Sir Bobby Robson's side are giving the ball away on the rare occasions they have it - Barca are snapping in and piling on the pressure

What can Newcastle - minus, of course, Shearer and Bellamy tonight - find in response?

Great finishing from Dani, crisply across Shay Given, and relief for under-pressure Barca coach van Gaal

O'Brien gets there - Motta takes it on and sees his shot blocked, but Barca build again and Dani is there to slide the ball into the corner after Xavi's pass. A nightmare start for Newcastle!

Overmars looks for Kluivert, and Aaron Hughes has to concede another Barcelona corner...

Robert comes forward, but an offside flag halts that promising break in its tracks

They look for Motta, and O'Brien is there to clear Toon Army lines

Shola Ameobi is back to head clear, and Barca have to settle for a throw

Kluivert then feeds Dani, and Newcastle, under the cosh in these opening stages, concede another corner

But the Dutchman makes a mess of his touch and Newcastle breathe again

Solano loses out for Newcastle and Riquelme takes it on... then Overmars finds Kluivert...

In the Champions League, though, they're unstoppable - nine wins from nine so far

Encouraging moments for a Barca side under increasing fire for their league form

That brings another corner, which is met by Cocu but directed over the crossbar

The home side win it back, and Overmars forces an early corner following a good Andy Griffin challenge...

It's soon played out again - but a miscontrol gives Newcastle a throw inside the Barcelona half

Barca get the game under way - and the ball is soon played back to keeper Oscar Bonano
