Chelsea are in Russia to take on Krasnodar tonight as the Blues look to secure their first win of the group stage.

Frank Lampard was satisfied with a goalless draw against Sevilla, Chelsea’s main rivals in the group, but knows his side must get a victory against the Champions League newcomers here if they are to assert themselves in the competition.

45+2 mins: Half time. A frustrating half for Juventus as they’ve had two goals disallowed and the only yellow card of the match so far. Kulusevski picking it up just before the break. 

Barcelona have been bright, they’ve been pacey and they’ve got their reward courtesy of Ousmane Dembele’s deflected strike.

The next goal could be crucial in this one.

40 mins: Morata goes on a decent run through the box, he fends off two defenders on his way to the byline and runs the ball out of play. A disappointing end to an otherwise good run.

35 mins: Oh my! How have Barca not got a second? Messi slips the ball into the box for Dembele. He holds it up and switches to his left foot before shooting. Szczesny makes the save but the ball comes back to Dembele. He passes back to Griezmann who misses the ball. By the time he recovers it Szczesny is on his feet and he stops Griezmann’s attempt as well.

30 mins: Morata gets the ball into the back of the net for the second time but once again it gets disallowed. Cuadrado plays a sweet curling ball into the box from the right, as Morata tries to get around Araujo. He meets the cross and taps it in but he’s clearly offside.

24 mins: A lovely forward run from Dembele brings Barcelona up the pitch on the counter attack. He picks out Messi who lays it off for Griezmann. Kuluseuski gets back in time to make a solid tackle and the attack breaks down.

21 mins: Barcelona string together a lot of passes probing the edge of the penalty area. Jordi Alba picks out Griezmann who back-heels it to Messi. Messi, in space, pulls his left-footed shot wide of goal.

18 mins: Morata is played in behind the lines and he sprints into the box. His first shot is saved by Neto but hits his arm on the rebound. He turns the ball into the back of the net but the goal is disallowed either for the handball or because Morata was offside when he started his run.

Juventus 0 - 1 Barcelona - Dembele

14 mins: GOAL! Messi whips a cross field ball out to the right wing for Dembele. He drives into the box and strikes one with his right foot. The shot deflects off Bonucci and loops over Szczesny to give Barcelona the lead!
