scene is set two good teams a great playing surface and a vibrant atmosphere has all the ingredients for a really exciting game can they create something and you've just witnessed a moment of truly high class goalkeeping you're absolutely right what a save that is he's reacted so [Applause] quickly and here's the starting 11 for Barcelona Mark Andre Stan in goal Danny Almo plays alongside Frankie dong in the center of Midfield and leading the attack today is Robert levandowski well there was impending danger but good defending unai Lopez you can't really discuss impact players without discussing Robert levandowski well he's such a natural finisher he has everything a good goal scorer needs composure technique and awareness he will certainly need to be tightly marked today kundai [Applause] now this could be productive keeper did his job to begin with and the attack fizzling out well it was a top class Save By The Keeper but if Barcelona continue to play with this sort of quality it's only a matter of time before they do take the [Applause] lead Ronald Aro Alex Bal and it's with Inigo Martinez Ino Martinez well goal kick just as it was looking promising [Applause] [Applause] Espino jul kund on the ball and possession lost [Applause] there this is looking stressing really fine piece of Defending play to break us up that's a good pass and Robert levandowski on the move here and a goal One n it is they've been pushing for the opener and now they have it well let's see this again this is counterattacking football at its very best and then through on goal you never really had any doubt that he wouldn't slot that away it's a cool [Applause] [Applause] finish so the ball rolling again with the score line standing at 1 nil Oscar Valentine lour with it good use of Advantage by the referee well read to ease the pressure Frankie D young beautiful pass levandowski will it be well off the post and behind for the goalkeeper well he strikes it nicely and it's a good effort but in the end not quite good enough well I think it's fair to say he's not overly pleased is he [Applause] [Applause] Ino Martinez Aro good use of the ball as they look to extend their [Applause] lead well nicely cut out now what can they do with the the ball kundai Dong Well sitting deep like this might be a dangerous [Applause] game well couldn't quite find his teammate unai Lopez lour with it it's with Lopez being pressed hard unai Lopez he's beaten his man and he did what he had to do defensively it is to be a throw in [Applause] and Barcelona winning the ball [Applause] back Valentine [Applause] kundai making progress superbly read and [Applause] executed pedri sends it back and hit with ferocity it was close but not quite good enough [Applause] well he knows that would have won the game so frustrating for him he's protecting it effectively but just like that possession changes hands [Applause] unai Lopez Valentine Oscar tjo promising looking [Applause] ball [Applause] Lopez giving it a try able to get his body in the way Advantage Barcelona a very effective challenge put [Applause] in promising move from Barcelona just failing to hit the target with this pass and it'll be a throw in and the referee retrospectively will go back and hand out the yellow card [Applause] Frankie D young he has time to play it over well they're going to be very crossed with themselves because that was a wasted opportunity [Applause] Barcelona now in potentially a dangerous position dong passing it accurately well there's the pullback well that's the sign of a well organized defense and just one minute of time added on for stoppages unai Lopez Oscar tjo beautifully weighted ball and still [Applause] pressing and so there it is the first half is in the history books now here at the estadio de vas well there aren't many better finishers and World football than hbert levandowski and strong evidence of that here Stewart well Derek he took his goal well and was a constant threat throughout that first half I thought he showed a lot of skill to get out of tight situations and he had a real impact on the play and the second half underway with Barcelona looking to build upon what was a largely positive first half [Applause] showing and in the perfect position to read it Oscar tro Oscar Valentine unai Lopez went in strongly decisively Rafia an encouraging move from Barca gives it a go really in the mood today that was almost another one well he looks so sharp doesn't he just that's not the Finish he was hoping for [Applause] there and overcomes the corner oh fantastic effort he made great contact but the keeper more than equal to it [Applause] who can he pick out oh Super Header but the goalkeeper was up to the [Applause] task well Barcelona had most of the ball in the last 15 minutes and their passing patterns have created numerous chances they surely must extend their lead soon well that's right and unusually they don't have the ball on this occasion well they want that equalizer but the passing remains smooth and it's still on for him oh magnificent save well he's just pulled off a great save there what reaction from the goalkeeper that was and there's the delivery it could be up for grabs good clearance counterattacking chance oh he looks threatening well that break looked so promising but nothing coming from [Applause] it great ball over the top looking for a teammate not too fussy in clearing his lines well as of play it goes and that was in no small measure due to the effect of press kundai well no stopping him oh that's a super piece of Defending well we have 30 minutes to go and threading it through and it could be levandowski and he's made it a brace for himself The Defenders just unable to stay with him and he's having a field day well here it is again goes past his marker so easily with just a drop of the shoulder and in the 1 V one levandowski makes no mistake he never really looked like missing didy what a goal that is so the ball rolling again at 2- n unai Lopez Oscar tro oh the threat is there the fans want to see a shot and a fine stop well could this be the Turning Point the fans are certainly hoping [Applause] so well they fancy a short one leun tremendously strong in the tackle [Applause] valde the free kick decision goes the way of [Applause] [Music] Barcelona Danny Almo [Applause] Ronald Aro well sitting ever deeper very quick thinking there now breaking at PACE potential [Applause] danger and the Counterattack came to nothing Al Bal now with D young a possession is the watch word inside their own territory 20 minutes to go Aro Danny Almo with it dong kundai well sloppy in possession Aro he's taking on his opponent here he'll take this on and just too much height on the [Applause] shot well the stats don't lie it's been Barcelona so far and it seems only a matter of time before they do get another chance here Rafia he fancies it what a commitment to defending taking care of business defensively here pedri kundai pedri well using the space really well but now can they push on wonderful header excellent goalkeeping and barca's corner [Applause] substitution then let's see how it affects the [Applause] match playing it short Romeo now he's been ruled offside [Applause] and back to dimitrii well back and forth in terms of possession well really you've got to say Barcelona in cruise control here Stuart your Reflections on their performance well they've been much the better side up to now some of their approach play has been excellent they just need to control possession for these final few minutes to cap up a really good display space afforded [Applause] him well the last touch came off the defender so a corner now so making the substitution [Music] [Applause] [Applause] now elects to go short makes his way in field genuine chance well it might still work out for them and problem solved for now between dreaded by levandowski must be oh yes you have to Marvel at the sheer spectacle of it taking Everyone by surprise yet at the same time we know just how capable he is a special moment well just look at this again the speed of Counterattack is so impressive and just look at that finish it's clever it's audacious and it's well taken that's a great goal [Applause] well if there were any lingering doubts about the outcome surely they now have been removed Oscar tjo it's with Lopez e TK [Applause] Perez onto aridan Espino we will have 3 minutes of additional time at the end here now with arid Dan good tackle taken away unai Lopez and it's with fala now but he could run onto it here oh the crossbar is still reverberating and that is that very satisfying from the Barca point of view a victory here what did you think of their overall display well Derek what a good performance that was they did most things right and their attacking play was inventive and had a real Cutting Edge that was a really dominant display from them today well it was a terrific performance from Robert levandowski and let's face it we've said that quite a lot in the past we're probably going to say it in the future as well Sensational well that was a great performance his understanding of how to find Space was brilliant today and of course he scored two really good goals [Applause]
