83 min TOTTENHAM SUB! Winks is replaced by Llorente.
83 min You just get the feeling that something dramatic is going to happen late on here.
81 min Sissoko breaks down the right before delivering low into the Barcelona box, but it breaks kindly for the home side and Cillessen is on hand to collect. Big moment for Tottenham there.
79 min Little over 10 minutes of the second period remaining, and Barcelona still lead 1-0 here.

73 min Inter have levelled the scores against PSV! As it stands, Tottenham are out.
71 min TOTTENHAM SUB! Lucas replaces Son.

69 min Semedo (Barcelona) is booked for a poor tackle on Rose.
68 min The clock is starting to tick on here, and Tottenham have not had too many attacking moments since Messi entered the field. That said, Kane has just had a strike blocked by Vermaelen.

64 min Messi will soon enter the field for the Spanish champions.
62 min TOTTENHAM SUB! Lamela replaces Walker-Peters.
60 min Tottenham are going to make a change here as Lamela receives his instructions. I am surprised that Lucas is not the first player coming off the away side's bench tonight.
58 min Comfortable save for Cillessen to keep out a strike from Son, who never really got hold of the effort. Still 1-0 Barcelona with little over 30 minutes of football remaining here.
56 min Walker-Peters does really well to block a strike from Coutinho.
55 min Tottenham continue to dominate the ball as they pass and probe in the final third of the field. Barcelona are not really having any of this match at the moment, but they still lead.
53 min Kane fires over the crossbar after breaking into the Barcelona box! Lenglet just about did enough to put the striker off-balance, and the ball landed in the stands.
52 min Messi has been sent to warm-up, which is not great news for Tottenham. The visitors are very much on the front foot at the moment as Alli and Eriksen both have powerful strikes blocked.
50 min Lloris does well to beat Munir to a through ball as Barcelona threaten on the break.
48 min Super save from Cillessen to keep out a strike from Eriksen, who looked to pick out the far corner. It has been a fast start to the second period from Tottenham.

46 min Barcelona resume the action here...
45+1 min BARCELONA 1-0 TOTTENHAM
45 min Coutinho works some space in the final third before hitting the post with a low strike. Excellent stuff from the Brazilian, but the post comes to the away side's rescue here.
44 min Comfortable save for Lloris to keep out a powerful strike from Rakitic.
44 min Tottenham have unquestionably been the more dangerous team in the final 15 minutes of the first period but Dembele's seventh-minute goal separates the two teams at the moment.
42 min Kane has a shot blocked behind as Tottenham enjoy more good possession in the final third of the field. The Premier League club are the better team at the moment here.
40 min It will be interesting to see whether Barcelona introduce Messi in the second period. It is probably not worth the risk, but you can see the Argentine getting a run out at some point.
38 min Comfortable save from Cillessen to keep out a strike from Son.
37 min Son has been Tottenham's best attacker in this first period, but Kane and Alli have been quiet.
35 min Little over 10 minutes of the first period remaining, and Tottenham are still behind, but have shown a lot of improvement over the last five minutes or so. Inter still trail to PSV in Milan.

32 min Tottenham have a free kick in a dangerous area as Vermaelen brings Eriksen to the deck...

27 min Alena sees a strike from distance deflected over the Tottenham crossbar.
25 min PSV have taken the lead against Inter! Huge! Tottenham would be through as it stands.
24 min Son is back on his feet and will continue. That little stoppage just gave Pochettino the chance to have a word with Winks. Still 1-0 Barcelona with 24 minutes on the clock at Camp Nou.
23 min Tottenham have a concern over Son as the attacker hits the deck and stays there.
21 min Rose is fortunate to escape a yellow for hauling Semedo to the deck in a wide position.
19 min Not too much to report in the last few minutes. Barcelona have the ball, but are not really threatening to score a second. Nothing much from Tottenham at the moment here.
17 min Barcelona are having a lot of the ball at the moment. A deep free kick comes into the Tottenham box and Munir flicks towards a sea of players, but Vertonghen makes a smart clearance.
15 min Walker-Peters (Tottenham) is booked for a poor tackle on Miranda.

14 min Coutinho just misses the crossbar with a strike from outside the Tottenham box.
12 min Dembele has had his off-the-field issues this season - and reportedly continues to have them - but the Frenchman is some talent. Incredible pace and decision-making in the final third.
10 min All Barcelona at the moment as they pass and probe in the final third of the field.
8 min Oh my goodness me. Barcelona make the breakthrough in the seventh minute, and it is all about Dembele! The Frenchman hunts down Walker-Peters before breaking into the Tottenham box and finding the back of the net with an excellent finish, having put Winks on the ground!
7 min BARCELONA 1-0 TOTTENHAM (DEMBELE)
6 min Miranda has had lots of the ball for Barcelona in the first four minutes; it is a huge night for the 18-year-old, and he looks very confident. Alena will also be hoping to impress tonight.
4 min Smart football from Tottenham as Alli, Kane and Eriksen combine in the final third, but the ball breaks loose and Cillessen manages to gather. Good stuff from the away side there.
2 min... decent start from Tottenham in terms of position and attacking intent, but Barcelona have had the ball in the last 20 seconds or so, and they will build from defence through the midfield.
0 minTottenham kick things off at Camp Nou...
