 Bayern's reorganisation into a 4-3-3 has helped them get a foothold back in the game but Barca are pressing their defence like angry wasps, Xabi Alonso sweeping up after Messi gets through but he is harrassed at speed by five players and loses possession. Barca lose 10 yards but win a free-kick, 25 yards out to the right of centre after Xabi Alonso fouls Messi and is booked.

30 min

Jordi Alba wins the ball, plays it inside then takes it back on the left but his cross doesn't beat the first defender who clears and Bayern break, Lewandowski holding it up the right and looking to win the corner but has to settle for a throw-in.

27 min

In comes the corner and Suraez heads it over the bar. Given it's the diddies v the daddies in terms of height, a headed goal from a set-piece is not something Bayern would have been able to wear without blushes.

25 min

Suarez-Messi-Neymar fill in two sides of the triangle but the final dinked ball from Messi into the box for Neymar is blocked by Boateng. He clears and Busquets wins it, spraying a pass up the left for Jordi Alba who reaches it a yard before it skips out of play. He crosses low and hard and Boateng has to knock it over his own bar from two yards.

23 min

Bayern free-kick from 25 yards after Mascherano's foul on Muller. Xabi Alonso takes it after a dummy from Thiago but they misread the signal and stay in their blocks when he chips it deep into the box so it bounces out harmlessly.

20 min

It's settled down now that Bayern have tightened up but still Messi can make space on the right by wending a sepenetine run, the ball under his immaculate control with that wand of a left foot, jinking past Xabi Alonso and Bernat. He opens his body to curl a cross-cum-shot past the far post.

17 min

They were getting such a beasting that Guardiola has had to change it - switching to a flat back four. And Bayern get up the right with Rafinha's switch to right-back helping. He feeds Muller who spurts past Jordi Alba and clips a centre across the six-yard box. Lewandowski slides in at the near post and slices his finish past the far stick.

15 min

Barcelona are all over Bayern now, Suraex breaking down the right of the box, riding lunges from Boateng and Lahm that he could have used to trip him, to get to the byeline and cross for Neymar who bursts into the six-yard box to tap it in but Rafinha's toe saves the day.

12 min

Guardiola's tactics were almost exposed as the Emperor's New Clothes there when Boateng steps up, misses his marking duty in Suarez who breaks through the middle. He strides into the box with Messi peeling off to his left. Two v one but Suarez goes for the shot and clatters it into Neuer's legs as he tried to put it to the keeper's right. Neuer did the splits to save that, at the expense of his baritone voice. He's a soprano now.

10 min

This is ridiculous, the tempo is so high, Bayern are piling into tackles and teh ball is pinging from one end to the other with Lewandowski now free on the left but his cross is battered away.

8 min

Neymar makes a split down the left with Messi on the ball 40 yards from goal but his intended throughball is blocked by Boateng - Messi claims it washis hand but the ref doesn't agree.

6 min

Guardiola has certainly foxed Barca with this system and the home side look a little non-plussed so far with the high line and this man-to-man marking, three at the back retreating when Messi, Suarez and Neymar race forward. They have three v three after Lewandowski's shot from 25 yards is blocked and Suarez scuds a low shot from 18 yards that Neuer easily saves.

4 min

Change all that systems analysis Bayern are actiually playing three at the back with Thiago as a riught-sided midfielder and Bernat on the left in a 3-4-3. Suarez sniffs a ball knocked too far infront of him in the box, pelts after it but it's always going to get to Neuer first. Boateng leans into him and he hits the deck, turning to remonstrate with the centre-back and referee. No chance of a penalty there.

2 min

Chip up the middle from Rakitic for Neymar catches the Brazilian offside as Bayern seem to be playing a high trap and going man-to-man with Schweinsteiger sitting on Busquets.

1 min

Bayern kick off, having overloaded the left, with seven players in that half of the field as they chip the ball up the top but are squeezed out of space and Barca have a goalkick. Rafinha is playing at centre-back, Boateng at right-back.
