  • 95'
    FT: Juventus (10) 0-2 Barcelona!! All over in Turin!!! Barca were the much better team and spurned many chances to score more. Dembele put Barca ahead before HT, Morata thought he had levelled, but the VAR disallowed it for offside. That was his third goal disallowed for the night, but apart from those three goals, Neto had little to do. Demiral was sent off for Juve and then a Messi penalty sealed the win.
  • 95'
    Free-kick for Juve, Dybala's set piece hits the one man wall and it's game over!
  • 95'
    Morata also had three goals disallowed in a La Liga game for Real Madrid versus Las Palmas which ended 3-3 back in February 2017. No VAR back then.
  • 93'
    Fati!!! The ball is played straight to Fati who should have shot instead of trying to pass to Braithwaite.
  • 93'
    Handball given against Morata.
  • 92'
    Corner for Juventus.

    Messi goes one way and then the other, but Juve stop him.

    Offside once again!!! The goal is taken away and it's off. Not just a few millimetres. A hat-trick of disallowed goals for Morata.
  • 56'
    It's very close, but I think he's just level.
  • 55'
    Morata makes it 1-1!!! And this time it counts!! Chiesa's ball in is only half-cleared to Cuadrado whose pass then finds Morata at the back stick and he makes no mistake. VAR checking.

    Pjanic brings down Dybala and it's a Juve free-kick after a very long Barca move which comes to nothing.

  • 43'

  • 33'
    Alba!!! Nice play by Griezmann, he passes the ball to Alba with the help of a defender's touch and the Catalan hits it wayward. Should have hit the target.

  • 15'
    Morata scores for Juventus, but the flag is up for offside! The Spaniard is played in, but he's offside, the first shot is saved by Ter Stegen, the ball bounces off Morata's arm and he makes no mistake. It was offside and handball so rightly disallowed.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Barcelona en el 14'
  • 14'
    Barca score!! Dembele scores with a good bit of fortune! A cross field pass is sent to Dembele on the far side, he cuts inside and goes one way and then the other before his shot takes a wicked deflection off a defender. That leaves the keeper with no chance.

    Barca have started very strongly here.
