AC Milan vs Barcelona, 1st Leg

1. That's it for tonight, remember you can follow me on Twitter <a href="http://www.twitter.com/dalejohnsonESPN" target="_blank">@dalejohnsonESPN</a>.

2. The second leg takes place next Tuesday back in Spain, and Milan may find they have more defensive work to do next time.

3. It was an entertaining first-half, not so in the second. Milan had chances, and defended well, but they now have to at least match Barca in Camp Nou. That is a huge ask for anybody.

4. 93'

   And that's the end of the game.

5. 93'

   Shot on the turn from Xavi 25 yards out, always going a couple of yards wide of the left-hand post.

6. 92'

   It's been a, er, sedate injury time period.

7. 91'

   Three minutes to be added on.

8. 90'

   It is two and a half years since Barcelona failed to score in the Champions League. That alone is an achievement for Milan I guess.

9. 89'

   So close to a goal for Barca just when it looked as though we'd have no real excitement this half.

10. 88'

    Messi's shot sent Abbiati full-stretch down to his right. The keeper got a good hand to it and Tello closes in to fire home - great block from Antonini to thwart him.

11. 87'

    Abbiati saves full stretch from Messi!

12. 86'

    Another Ambrosini foul, bumping into Pedro deep in the Barca half.

13. 85'

    High boot by Ambrosini on Busquets, I'm sure the ref went to his pocket before realising the Milan man had already been booked.

14. 84'

    Puyol, on the brink of a suspension, pulls back El Shaarawy and could easily have been booked.

15. 83'

    It would seem Milan are happy with the 0-0 and trying to at least score as many as Barca in Camp Nou.............

16. 82'

    Tello with another break, Abbiati out smartly to smoother.

17. 81'

    Offside flag goes up as Messi attempts a run through the centre.

18. 80'

    <i>Chris Murphy stat:</i> The last time Lionel Messi failed to score in a game was on February 11 against Osasuna.

19. 79'

    It's been pretty desperate stuff in the second half.

20. 78'

    Iniesta takes from the left, Puyol meets it with a diving header at the near post and it sneaks a yard wide of the far.

21. 77'

    Tello finds Messi just inside the box, Ambrosini gets the block in to concede the corner.

22. 76'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Pedro is on in place of Alexis.

23. 75'

    You may remember Mesbah getting ripped apart by Arsenal at the Emirates.

24. 74'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Alessandro Nesta is limping, and needs to be replaced by Djamel Mesbah

25. 73'

    A shot! As Tello thrashes a wild one into the sidenetting. It should have gone across the face.
