Post-match interview: Suarez answers emphatically the question about which part of his lower body scored the goal. "I don"t know!" followed by a good giggle.

90"+2 - just seconds to go in this tie. And that"s it!! Barça through to the quarter finals once again. Questions, also once again, will be posed to Arsene Wenger to justify another exit...although it"s possible no team will stop this Catalan machine.

...Messi holds off a challenge from Gabriel in the area and then gives the ball a bigger scoop than an ice-cream seller in Las Ramblas to lift it over the on-rushing Ospina. 3-1 on the night, 5-1 on aggregate. Game well and truly over.

87" - Walcott gets through one on one against the Barça stopper but was wide of the right post and didn"t have many options. Chose to hit it and it bounces harmlessly of the keeper

83" - time is running out for the visitors to avoid going out in the first knock.out phase in a row. What can they muster in the final stage?

...double save from Ter Stegen. First a high dive to his right with a strong right hand to keep out Sanchez"s direct, curling set piece. Then stood up strong to block the follow up. Got back on his feet quickly

There are lots of empty seats in the Camp Nou tonight. Maybe because of the rain, maybe they"re all watching from a dry, standing location. Or maybe they knew the tie was done after the first leg.

67" - some people think this is all over but Welbeck hits the outside of the Barça post with a clean strike. Hope fading for the English title-challengers

...Suarez takes the dinked cross from Alves on the volley back across to the right hand section of the goal. It seemed a slightly awkward position but the striker got the outside of his right boot to it. Lovely!

62" - the right hand side again proving fruitful for Arsenal as the game gets more and more stretched. Bellarin passes it into the busy area and it"s knocked clear for a corner. Corner gives Welbeck a headed chance but nothing
16/03/2016 22:06
Redacción Diario AS
61" - strike! Messi from the edge of the area hits a Neymar knock down cleanly with his left set of laces but it rises just above the left post.

...Elneny controls the rolled cross from the right with an opened right foot. Stroked it beautifully into the top right corner. Will it be all right for Arsenal after all?

41" - another chance for Arsenal. Nice one-two between Iwobi and Welbeck with Mascherano"s stretched foot enough to put off the latter from a curled, close range attempt.
16/03/2016 21:28

38" - half chance for Iwobi who gets right underneath the ball from around 12 yards.

...replay shows that ref couldn"t have been more right. Not sure how the teenager could claim for that as he tripped himself. Maybe he"s wearing the same boots as the closest defender Mascherano.
16/03/2016 21:23

34" - Iwobi goes down in Barça box but no penalty given
16/03/2016 21:22

33" - nervy moments in the Arsenal box with it finally being hoofed to the relative safety of a corner. Nothing comes of it.
16/03/2016 21:20
Redacción Diario AS
...space is likely to be found more and more for the Catalans as Arsenal chase the game. Wenger will have to decide (although hopefully he did prior to the game) how and when to really go for it. Three needed without reply.
16/03/2016 21:19

30" - chance! Alba finds space down the left and cuts it back to Neymar on the edge of the area. His shot comfortably taken on the deck by Ospina
16/03/2016 21:17

27" - the goal seems to have given the home side a little boost and they"re pinging the ball about more neatly than before. Ominous signs

17" - big chance! Pin-point pass over the top from Neymar to Messi who controls sublimely and hits it goalward in two, left-footed moments of class. Only to be denied by the keeper
16/03/2016 21:04
Redacción Diario AS
15" - Bellerin turns on the burners down the right wing against Alba. Crosses in but nothing comes of it. Barça a bit sloppy at times giving glimpses of chances to their opponents
16/03/2016 21:02

13" - high press from the Gunners as Barça use Ter Stegen to knock the ball around at the back. In these conditions, maybe a good ploy
