00:00What a game we have in store for you today. The hype has been building all week and we're just
00:04moments away from kickoff time. Stay tuned for the live action.
00:17Hello, it's great to be with you and no problems at all on the weather front as we get ready
00:22for
00:23this match. My name is Derek Ray and sitting next to me, ready to provide all the tactical
00:27and technical analysis is the former England attacker Sue Smith and we can't wait for this
00:33one to start with justifiable cause. It's Rangers facing Barcelona. Well being in and around the
00:40ground before kickoff, the fans are buzzing, they can't wait for this game so hopefully
00:44it's a fast-paced entertaining match.
00:57And the referee gets this game going, every reason to believe this should be a cracker.
01:05And the Barcelona shape looks like this. Pedri starts alongside Frenkie de Jong in the centre
01:11of midfield and leading the attack today is Robert Lewandowski.
01:19And bursting forward.
01:23And credit is due for that good piece of defending.
01:31Pedri.
01:43Well, a wasteful from Barcelona.
01:52Antman.
01:57Barron.
01:59JD Gasama.
02:04Now with Raskin.
02:05And the assistant referee with the flag raised.
02:09Well, I'm really surprised he didn't let that run. He was clearly offside and surely he knew.
02:19Pedri.
02:21Here's Rafinha.
02:28Well, you never quite know who's going to emerge from the shadows and become a match winner, but this man
02:33might be a decent shout.
02:34What are you expecting to see from him?
02:36Well, for me, it's the way he combines with his teammates, always wants the ball.
02:40Once he's passed it, he's on the move, wants it back again.
02:43He's a pleasure to watch.
02:45I'm sure we'll see more of that today.
02:52Well, I just thought it was a goal.
02:57Well, I just thought it was a goal. It was through 1v1, but the keeper does brilliance.
03:00It narrows the angle and shows great reactions to save that.
03:04So, the corner played into the box.
03:07Well, no mistake from the keeper, acting decisively.
03:14Osgård succeeded in winning it back.
03:19Oh, that's an interesting pass.
03:22The woodwork might take a bit of time to recover from that.
03:26I'm not sure why, he just didn't place it.
03:35Just like that, they have the ball again.
03:37He's blocked it!
03:46Trying to deliver it accurately, and able to get a body in the way.
03:57And a clever piece of defending.
04:12Pedri.
04:15And support available.
04:19Well, nothing comes of it. It looked promising.
04:28De Jong.
04:30It's a neat move.
04:36And is this the moment for Lewandowski?
04:39Goalkeeping of the highest order!
04:40Yeah, he didn't have long to react, but you have to praise his reflexes.
04:51Now, sending it in.
04:52And not a header that was ever really going to trouble the goalkeeper.
05:09James Tabernier.
05:11And very nicely positioned to win it back.
05:15Can he find the right pass?
05:19Oh, big moment!
05:21Oh, big moment!
05:22Oh, incredible save!
05:22And he snuffed out the danger.
05:24Oh, big moment!
05:33And short it is.
05:39The goalie of the blue card registration, BG of 4, 2-0-3-0-1.
05:45The goalie of the blue card registration, BG of 4-2-0-3-1-0-1.
06:00well this could really help the cause
06:09what a block
06:11oh to take the lead
06:13and a good save there
06:29favouring the short one
06:37teammates available
06:39Lewandowski
06:47Oliver Antman
06:49well they've pressed them high
06:51and here they come
06:55trying to find a way through
06:56and there it is
06:57penalty
07:02a clear penalty
07:03and a yellow card to boot
07:22this to make it 1-0
07:25oh he's guessed quickly and saved it
07:42can he deliver it with accuracy
07:44oh a twitchy clearance
07:49what a powerful effort
07:51but not threatening the goalkeeper
07:53and he'll be disappointed
08:08J.D. Gassama
08:12very quick thinking there
08:17Pedri
08:18here's Rafinha
08:20and he has options available
08:26Pedri
08:28oh that's splendid play
08:32Jamal
08:33and the keeper
08:34more than equal to it
08:50who can he pick out
08:53he's gone and found the edge
08:55brilliant piece of finishing
08:57magnificent goal
09:26so the ball rolling again
09:28so the ball rolling again
09:29at 1-0
09:32Antman
09:36could be troublesome
09:46Rafinha
09:46and the defenders know
09:52they need to get tighter
09:55oh a difficult save to make
10:05who's going to get on the end of it
10:07really good build up
10:08but no end product
10:17could be
10:19that is that
10:21for the first half here
10:26I think most fans
10:28would be pretty happy
10:29with this man's display so far
10:31yeah he's had a good first half
10:33and that's been topped off
10:34with a goal so late on
10:35the desire to keep playing
10:37to the whistle
10:37will have certainly pleased
10:38the coaching staff
10:39I'm sure
10:48and the second half
10:49underway
10:50with Barcelona
10:51looking to build upon
10:52what was a largely positive
10:54first half showing
10:58Pedri
11:01here's Rafinha
11:03Eric García
11:09and a tidy tackle
11:14oh beating his opponent
11:16with ease
11:20danger averted
11:21thanks to his team mate
11:26Lamine Yamal
11:35and suddenly on the front foot
