00:00occasion we all relish as football fans non-stop hype all week long and now for the action
00:06hello wherever you happen to be welcome to catalonia welcome to barcelona derrick ray
00:12here on the commentary position joined for analysis by sue smith and without doubt a match
00:17with the potential to bring genuine excitement it's barcelona up against monaco it's great to
00:24be here i think it's going to be a really good game today both teams will be well up for it so
00:28hopefully we're in for a treat
00:45but we have to extol the virtues of rafinha he's very entertaining but he delivers as well
00:50what might we see from him in this game well he's just a natural goal scorer ice cold when he gets
00:55into a goal scoring position the defense are going to have to be on their toes switched on
01:00if they're going to stop him here today
01:09well this is what we think for barcelona frankie de jong plays alongside pedri in the center of
01:28midfield and getting the vote of confidence and attack today robert lewandowski
01:39a match to look forward to barcelona kickoff
01:43kunde
01:50possession one
02:00opportunity and it goes an early opening statement in this match and look at the celebrations
02:07well this is so smooth look how he slips past his marker and the movement is good to get in the end of
02:24it and it's a simple finish in the end
02:38well barcelona get fingers going again a wake-up call for them perhaps
02:42and
02:55barcelona moving the ball with purpose

05:54favouring the short one
05:58just the challenge that was required
06:02the danger here as he runs at them
06:15cutting his way inside
06:18a big opportunity and thwarting his opponent in the nick of time

07:06and this could be threatening
07:29well going for power and so close to finding the net
07:36kundey on to yamal
07:44and a timely intervention
07:46chance to do damage
07:50oh chance

09:28yeah you shouldn't be giving it away like that
09:34nice looking move this
09:36oh denied in his quest to make it a double
09:40you've got to praise the keeper for his position
09:42and he makes it difficult for him but
09:44i'm sure he'll be disappointed that he couldn't get the second of the game
09:47there is still time now
09:51decent chance
09:53oh that's a fine save
09:55forming a real chance

10:19no wonder he's celebrating

10:35well as they get the ball running again interesting to see how the second half pans out
10:40a dangerous challenge
11:06good attempt
11:07all fairly run-of-the-mill in terms of what the keeper had to do given away by
11:13Barcelona and support available
11:18opportunity
11:21and I'll tell you what on this sort of form very few would lay a glove on them
11:28a lopsided contest 4-0
11:32Rafinha
11:35Alex Balde
11:48Rafinha and he takes it away yes spotted what was happening there didn't he
11:56Garavine
12:02Caio Enrique well now he's let that run out of play and it will be a throw in
12:07here
12:12Yamal
12:16Lewandowski now
12:19De Jong
12:23and there it breaks down but credit to the defence
12:33Kamara
12:34plenty of support here real chance
12:37well the keeper has out done himself wonderful save
12:41now they're going to alter things here's the substitution

12:56Rafinha
13:05Lewandowski
13:06Monaco regaining possession
13:09Pogba
13:16Mena Mena
13:20Mena
13:21able to skip past his man
13:25well there's an example of how to press higher the verdict is offside here
13:33and they're making a change
13:38De Jong
13:42De Jong
13:43Yamal
13:45on to De Jong
13:48Lamine Yamal
13:54Rafinha
13:56Barcelona have given it away
14:03counter-attacking chance
14:05and finally up a cul-de-sac
14:08really good wide play
14:17here's Kamara
14:22it's looking promising
14:25and the keeper there to make sure nothing untoward happened
14:29it wasn't the easiest header to control
14:32but still he'll be a bit disappointed
14:34really good challenge
14:48now who can he play it to
14:52Mena Mena
14:54oh surely
14:55oh surely this time
14:59and flag raised
15:03offside
15:04careless this
15:05he had other options
15:06he should have held on to it a bit longer
15:08just give your teammate a bit more time
15:10Rafinha
15:26Eric García
15:30referee deciding to give the free kick
15:37oh
15:42oh
15:43could be an opportunity here
15:57oh the goalkeeper did well to hang on to that one
16:00Rafinha
16:01Rafinha
16:03Rafinha
16:04given away by Barcelona
16:09Rafinha
16:10and fine work from Monaco
16:21and fine work from Monaco to win the ball back
16:23well that's going on to win the ball
16:27well that's common sense refereeing to play advantage
16:29and now with Mina Mino
16:34that's a good looking ball
16:37could still be dangerous
16:39and forcing the mistake
16:41oh what a stop
16:43and he'll go back and hand out a yellow card here
16:48well I think he thought he got away with that
16:50but the ref clocked it and went back
16:52good officiating
16:53and played short
16:58nicely timed tackle
17:02corner again
17:04who can he pick out
17:10that's fine goalkeeping to hold on to the corner
17:13Rafinha
17:17a very effective challenge put in
17:26five minutes to go
17:31Salisu
17:37now with Khera
17:39here's Kamara
17:43splendid defending
17:52and there it is
17:54penalty
17:54oh and not just that
17:58but a second yellow card as well
18:00yeah and they could be in trouble here
18:02couldn't they
18:02and this could finish it off
18:27well we can see it here again
18:35he's given the keeper the eyes
18:37sent him completely the wrong way
18:39makes for a relatively simple finish in the end
18:42but it's a good penalty this
18:43well somebody's got to stop him
18:48De Jong
18:51Rafinha
18:54on to De Jong
