    • - Join eurosport.yahoo.co.uk for LIVE coverage of the Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid on Saturday.
    • - So Barca's excellent European home record suffers a setback, but then they are already through as group winners. Shakhtar will play in the UEFA Cup after finishing third in Group C.
    • 90+6' After six minutes - there was more time added after a bit of gamesmanship from Shakhtar - Riley blows the whistle to end the game.
    • 90+2' There are four minutes to be added on... Barca lay seige to the away goal.
    • 90+1' Pyatov shown a yellow now for time-wasting while taking the resultant goal-kick.
    • 90' Bojan has hurt himself stretching for a chipped ball over the top.
    • 88' Kucher now goes into the book for a foul on Bojan near the edge of the box. Dear me... the little man went down easily.
    • 87' Gladkiy now booked after a bizarre moment which sees two balls being passed around the Barca back four!!
    • 86' Luiz Adriano booked for preventing the free-kick being taken.
    • 85' Riley losing control after Brandao came across and elbowed Busquets near his throat... it could have been a red but the yellow comes out amid whistles from the stands.
    • 83' BARCA PULL ONE BACK!! Sergio Busquets controls and finishes close in after a lovely dinked ball over the top by Gudjohnsen. A few minutes left for them to attack and find an equaliser...
    • 83' Martin Caceres left for dead by Brandao over halfway... Jorquera comes out and makes himself big... the sub puts the ball over the bar. Great chance for four!
    • 81' Barca have lost just one of their last 27 European home games while Shakhtar have lost 11 of their 14 Champions League away games and never won in Spain. That is all about to change...
    • 78' Shakhtar change: Luiz Adriano on for Fernandinho.
    • 78' Vazquez comes inside and shoots just wide of the near post. It doesn't look good for the Catalan giants.
    • 77' Barca change: Eidur Gudjohnsen on for Pedro.
    • 76' SHAKHTAR SCORE A THIRD!! Fernandinho finishes into an open goal at the far post after a great low ball across by Rat!!
    • 72' Bojan unlucky as he tries to twist into space in the final third.
    • 70' Vazquez backheels to Keita, who shifts the ball into space and cracks it at goal... good save by the standing Pyatov.
    • 67' Shakhtar change: Brazilian Brandao, Shakhtar's danger man in previous matches this season, replaces Jadson.
    • 65' Visiting defender Hubschman booked for repeatedly hacking at Hleb, who stands and protests. He will miss the next European match.
    • 63' Barcelona are top scorers in this season's competition with 16 goals. They need three more to become the first team to net 20 in the group phase - they hold the record with 19, achieved nine years ago.
    • - We have coverage of all tonight's matches, including the other match in this group - click on the link in the livebox to your right for Basel v Sporting.
    • 61' Bojan with a snap-shot that Pyatov gathers low down.
    • 59' SYLVINHO SMASHES HOME FOR BARCA!!! The left-back worked his way across the penalty area after receiving the ball from Hleb; he played a one-two with Keita and crashed an unstoppable shot inside the near post.
    • 58' SECOND GOAL FOR SHAKHTAR!! Gladkiy it is again - nodding down Jadson's free-kick from near the corner flag. Jorquera was nowhere near it.
    • 54' The African star arrives late to attack a cross and almost finishes again. Shakhtar coming under pressure.
    • 51' Keita with a delicate touch past a defender near the by-line to move around him and almost toe-poke home!! Good effort. Hleb provided the little ball down the channel.
    • 50' Victor Vazquez forces Pyatov into a save from outside the box.
    • 49' The young striker gains revenge by bundling into Shakhtar defender Olexandr Kucher. Yellow card issued by the one and only Mike Riley.
    • 49' Bojan limping about after a challenge on him.
    • 48' In five meeting between these clubs, Shakhtar have won one, one has been drawn and Barca have won three - including the second match of this Champions League campaign.
    • 46' The second half underway, no changes.
    • 45' Half-time in the Camp Nou. Barca behind against Shakhtar.
    • 42' Brilliant play from Pedro, who dances between four defenders inside the box before clipping a cross-cum-shot wide of the far post. Hleb also impressed in that move while the Belarusian had a shout for a penalty before that... it was ball to hand though as he crossed.
    • 40' When the ball is won back following the Shakhtar throw-in, Sylvinho smashes a shot just over.
    • 40' Hleb with an inviting cross from the left that Bojan is just short of connecting with between two defenders.
    • 37' Alexander Hleb, who returned from injury relatively recently and is still working his way back into the team, slips a ball through for Keita. He slides, but it is just out of his reach.
    • 35' The away side are still a threat despite scoring. They are willing to counter at pace, with some tasty players to take advantage...
    • 31' GOAL FOR SHAKHTAR!! Razvan Rat played a ball down the left channel for Willian, who cut it back - and Olexandr Gladkiy finished past Albert Jorquera.
    • 29' Darijo Srna springs the offside trap on the right, but cannot cross quickly enough with Fernandinho in the box and Piquet recovers to tackle.
    • 26' Gai's shot is blocked in the box... Shakhtar are a threat.

    • 22' Bojan twists away from his markers and unleashes a shot which is deflected just over the bar and has the home fans going 'huuuuyyyyy'!! They like to do that in Spain.
    • 20' Pedro is unfortunate with a header on goal which tests Pyatov after a good cross by Sylvinho.
    • 18' Tomas Hubschman fouls teenager Bojan, not for the first time... no card though.
    • 15' A definite friendly feel about this game ahead of the big Liga derby on Saturday. Jadson's corner kick was cleared easily.
    • 12' Willian controls out on the left for Shakhtar and comes inside, shooting low... Gerard Piquet gets a foot in the way and the ball goes over, giving the Ukrainian side a corner.
    • 10' Bojan cuts in and delivers a dipping strike that Andriy Pyatov stops comfortably.
    • 9' The group is already decided. Barcelona are sure of topping it with Sporting also going through. Shakhtar will play in the UEFA Cup and Basel are eliminated.
    • 7' Seydou Keita has a dig for the home side which is off target.
    • 4' As you'd expect Barca have had most of the ball in the opening minutes, their less experienced players slotting into the system set up by Guardiola.
    • 1' The match begins in Catalonia.
    • - Barca coach Pep Guardiola, mindful of the 'Clasico' against Real Madrid on Saturday, has left Daniel Alves, Carles Puyol, Rafael Marquez, Yaya Toure, Lionel Messi, Xavi, Thierry Henry and Victor Valdes out altogether.
    • - Barca are resting several first-team members from the squad for this match.
