The Atletico player brings down Messi as Barcelona were looking to break - Atletico goalkeeper Moya was in the Barcelona box as every Madrid player was looking to score in the final minute

Suarez sees a second yellow within less than five minutes, this time for throwing an elbow into Koke
90+1': Barça are down to 9 men and we have 5 minutes of injury time still to go!

Big chance for Atletico
Koke crosses in from the right, the ball flies across the goal line and not a single Atletico player gets to it in time to tap it in
Luis Suarez gets booked
For fouling Juanfran from behind
Barcelona goal dissalowed
Messi plays in Suarez who scores, but he is off-side
GOAL: Barcelona 1-1 Atletico Madrid (Gameiro, 83 mins)
Griezmann fakes taking the shot from a wide angle, the Barcelona defence bites, the Frenchman instead flicks it over to the wide-open Gameiro who slots it home.

Gameiro misses the penalty!
Cillessen guessed right, but he didn't need to do much more as Gameiro sends it way high..
'79: Gameiro steps up, he fires...over the bar! Barça dodge a bullet!

Penalty!
Gameiro makes a run from the left, Pique catches him with a sliding tackle, referee shows the penalty spot!
Messi hits the crossbar!
Messi takes the ensuing free-kick, his left foot sends the ball above the wall and it's such a powerful shot it almost smashes the bar
77' Free kick Barça. #Messi shoots! Off the post! Oh my!

Savic gets booked
For bringing down Suarez. Free-kick in a dangerous position for Barcelona
Cillessen gets booked
For time-wasting
Barcelona make their final substitution
Iniesta, who returns from injury today, replaces Rakitic
Change for Barcelona
Busquets replaces Turan.
Carrasco is sent off!
The Belgian midfielder sees a second yellow for a late challenge on Arda Turan, so Atletico will also continue with 10 players!
'69: Carrasco sees his 2nd yellow; he's gone too! We're at even strength, 10 aside!

Successive corners for Atletico
Third corner for the visitors within two minutes, once again Umtiti clears without drama
First substitution for Barcelona
Mascherano replaces Denis Suarez
Final change for Atletico
Gameiro comes on for Torres
Atletico goal dissalowed
Griezmann slots it into the far post but the flag has gone up for offside. It looked like a legit goal, so Atletico will have reasons to protest
Roberto is sent off!
Barcelona will continue with ten players as Sergi Roberto sees a second yellow for a harsh foul on Filipe Luis.

Carrasco shoots wide
Carrasco gets a rare clear look at goal from the top of the box but his effort goes inexplicably wide
Chance for Barcelona
Messi slides away from two Atletico defenders, rolls it on his right to Rakitic who puts in a cross but it is deflected
Double substitution for Atletico
Spoke too soon... two minutes into the second half, Gaitan and Godin both pick up knocks within seconds of each other and are replaced by Correa and Lucas, respectively.
No changes for either team
Both sides continue with the same XI after the break
Second half under way
Barcelona get us under way, remember they lead 3-1 on aggregate so Atletico need two goals (minimum) in the second half.
HALF-TIME: Barcelona 1-0 Atletico Madrid
So Barcelona are leading 3-1 on aggregate despite the fact they did not create any proper chances in the first half. However the Messi-Suarez duo, which had been decisive in the first leg, only needed a split second to put the hosts ahead. Atletico were the better team for most of the first half, as they came out showing attacking intent and pushing Barcelona back into their area during long stretches, but they have nothing to show for it.
HALF-TIME: @LuisSuarez9's goal just a moment ago gives Barça a 3–1 aggregate lead!

GOAL: Barcelona 1-0 Atletico Madrid (Luis Suarez, 43 mins)
Messi gets away from five Atletico defenders, manages to fire a shot which is saved by Moya but Suarez gets the rebound and all he has to do is tap it into an empty net.
Carrasco gets booked
For a really late challenge on Ardan

Atletico penalty appeal rejected
Koke curls in a free-kick from the left, Torres reaches the ball first but goes immediately down, he is complaining for a push by Roberto.
Chance for Barcelona
Messi fires from a wide angle amid four Atletico defenders but still aims perfectly for the bottom near corner, Moya saves
'28: #Messi with a shot! It's right at Moyá! He had a nice look, though!

First Barcelona shot on goal
Or almost on goal, as Luis Suarez hits the side of the net
Atletico looking very likely
The Madrid have an unusually attacking-minded line-up today and have already visited Barcelona's area three times in as many minutes, but without creating concrete chances
Kick-off
Atletico get us under way. It's pouring down in Barcelona but the crowd do not seem to mind the rain, great atmosphere at the Camp Nou.
