e e [Applause] for for now it is for Real the tactics and Squad strengths have been analyzed by committed fans and neutral observers to the nth degree a confrontation that's all football well this wonderful City offers the visitors so much including football Barcelona of course my name is Derek Ray and my commentary partner as usual is Stuart Robson and we're ready for UEFA Champions League group stage action tonight it's Barcelona and they take on shaktar donet oh tremendous block one block up after another well this is what we think for Barcelona Mark Andre Stan stands between the posts Frankie D young plays in it goes an early goal no wonder they're celebrating well as you can see it's a good finish it just goes in off the post it's perfect placement [Applause] [Applause] well the ball is moving once more how important will that opening goal prove to be nice looking pass levandowski and is this the moment for levandowski they've only gone and grabbed another one two goals in quick succession now they have the lead no wonder they're celebrating [Applause] well here it is again and they've taken their goal well but the defending was non-existent that should never [Applause] happen so the ball rolling again 2- n the score oh could be and the keeper there's a deal with [Applause] it go he's driven in the corner well the keeper had plenty to think about with bodies around him and making sure there was no danger in the end now the Counterattack looks on can they use it to their advantage oh what an opportunity and it's it's a double for him in this game no way for the opposition to contain him and no wonder he's off celebrating well just look at this again the speed of Counterattack is so impressive and the Finish is so clinical he just rolls it past the keeper cool as you [Applause] like so on with the game here Barcelona on top and it's turning into something of a trouncing and in with a real chance and he's only gone and made it a hatrick absolutely unplayable today what a [Applause] performance well here it is again he goes past his Markus so easily with just a drop of the shoulder and once he gets onto it there's only going to be one outcome it's a lovely goal a lopsided contest for now and with that they attack the referee spotted the infringement and it will be a free kick in a position of genuine Menace [Music] [Music] well in truth it could have been more challenging for the goalkeeper danger here as he runs at them oh in with a Chance really good diving stop to make sure the threat came to nothing oh he could give it away determined defending joal [Applause] Felix oh he saved it well [Applause] stepanenko and a poor ball and support available oh he's left his marker for dead genuine chance pretty simple for the keeper [Applause] and Barca have it [Applause] back phelix well I don't think that effort remotely qualifies as respectable and the reason it's off Target because the technique was really poor on that occasion that's not a good effort [Applause] levandowski here's Rafia and he has options available oh it looked as though he might beat the keeper but he was beaten by the post goal [Applause] kick losing possession [Applause] Romeo opportunity here and a fine stop [Applause] and he's fired over the corner goalkeeper ball it was always going to be that [Applause] way an example of how to press pressing as a team Romeo well not the end result he had in mind well we know he can hit them from from that sort of range but that was a poor effort in the [Applause] end Barcelona have lost possession and just narrowly wide in the [Applause] end but it's all going rather swimmingly for Barcelona as we near the halftime interval Stuart your thoughts well what a first half performance this has been oh look at this Stuart an opportunity the crossb got in the way just knocked it out of there seeno throw in's given the referee's verdict is three additional minutes sudakov zov he's going forward well here was was likely to be the goalkeeper's [Applause] ball and so it is the first half story has been written an analysis of Robert levandowski performance up to this point leads us to very positive reviews you've got to say Stewart well he's looked Unstoppable today quick clever skillful and he's taken his goals really well he's been wonderful to [Music] watch well underway once more and it's going to be fascinating to see what developments occur in this second half and the flag does go up [Applause] offside Barca recovering possession well levandowski and he's broken free oh goodness me he made it far too easy for the keeper didn't he corner for [Applause] Barcelona now sending it in insufficient guile from that corner keeper ball [Applause] [Applause] gundan and he scored not once but twice they simply cannot stop him and no wonder he's enjoying himself well just look at the defending here they just don't read the danger it's a poor goal to conceed [Applause] my goodness it's so one-sided 5 nil in this [Applause] match well a clear foul but the referee letting the play Flow and Under Pressure that was a fine claim [Applause] not looking all that comfortable on the ball levandowski oh big chance and a goal this time applying the Finishing Touch just what the doctor ordered well here it is head down hit through the ball and Get It On Target that's a top class finish there was no stopping [Applause] that well it's an out and out pacting 6 n and a shooting chance for levandowski and that's an excellent piece of Defending to th [Applause] him plenty of support here he takes aim nicely [Applause] saved substitution time it is [Applause] here who can he pick out and a confident [Applause] clearance good work from barca to make sure possession check changed hands the supporters want to see him have a go and this time it's in fabulous goal and just look at the celebrations well as you can see this is a wonderful strike he makes the perfect connection and he has so much Pace on it it's a great goal [Applause] and possession changing hands oh good looking run oh yes it's gone in and now a chance for them to reel in the moment well here's the replay watch how he goes past his man with such ease and it's just a change of pace and then thr on goal he just goes for power and smashes it past the keeper there's no stopping that what a great finish [Applause] giving the ball away well doesn't have to do it on his own oh him with a Chance oh and couldn't convert [Applause] [Applause] well not giving him any Breathing Room Lina [Applause] tror leandi firing it towards goal there it is a fantastic goal and no wonder he's off celebrating well here it is again and it's all about the pace on the Counterattack they were so quick to break out from their defensive positions and then levandowski finish is brilliant he strikes the ball so cleanly and gives the keeper no time to react it's a really good goal [Applause] Yori sudakov on the ball Tara stepanenko sudakov stepanenko and the ball back with Barcelona here [Applause] happy to shoot a routine save and he has options available Canelo thed for by the post and he clears the [Applause] danger this attack looks highly promising well far too much elevation there [Applause] well we're inside the final 10 minutes in this one over the touch line for a throw [Applause] in well on the cusp of the final whistle and the homide really prospering today Stuart interested to get your take hang on Derek it's a chance here and a goal Here There It Is they've done it well here's the replay and just look how quickly they break forward once they win the ball back and the Finish is so clinical he just rolls it past the keeper cool as you like [Applause] it's a massive lead and it's very hard to imagine them losing it now and he's got the beating of his opponent well the supporters think it's on well unable to direct it on the Target and a goal kick to come [Applause] [Applause] Barca regaining possession levandowski and a shiing chance for levandowski it's a Barcelona corner [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] oh fancy footwork a goal he's dispatched it much to the sheer Delight of the fans [Applause] well here we can see it again look at the way Glides pass the defender to create space for himself and it makes the Striker's job so easy all he has to do is make the right connection it's a lovely goal [Applause] well wait don't go anywhere we're going to have five additional minutes good [Applause] tackle Romeo well the fans want to see a short well no luck in terms of finding the target [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] Romeo just leaning back a bit and Over the Bar [Applause] [Applause] and the final whistle has sounded the end of the game here a win for Barcelona their fans are going to be happy about that well Derek they were the better team all over the pitch we saw good individual performances we saw in a attack which was always threatening and they played really well what a performance that was today [Applause] e
