00:00And with that, the first half is underway.
00:16Lionel Messi.
00:17And a good tackle results in a throw-in.
00:30Busquets.
00:39Jordi Alba now.
00:46That's good physical play.
00:50Krytsov.
00:54Busquets.
00:57Sergei Krytsov.
00:59Not so much given away as cleverly won.
01:05Messi.
01:08The assistant spotting a touch there.
01:10It'll be a throw.
01:15Marcelo Weigens.
01:20It's passed really nicely.
01:22And it's behind for a corner.
01:48And it's a short walk.
01:52Good stop.
01:54And the hard work pays off.
01:56They've won the ball.
02:03Octavio.
02:11Busquets.
02:15Julian Gressa.
02:17This is a positive-looking move.
02:21Chance to deliver into the box.
02:24Roger it.
02:25They've gone in front.
02:27A key moment in the match.
02:37Well, here's the replay.
02:38And probably one of the simpler finishes you'll see this week.
02:41From that sort of range, there was never really any doubt that he'd put it away.
03:01One nil, then, as we get started again.
03:11This could be dangerous.
03:18Octavio.
03:20Mane.
03:22And the flag goes up for offside.
03:24Well, it's sloppy, isn't it?
03:25Just needs to hold on to it a little longer.
03:28Give him time to get back onside.
03:45Sergei Kriptsov.
03:47And they need to be better on the ball than that.
03:52Cristiano Ronaldo.
03:55That's good, strong play.
04:02Sergei Kriptsov.
04:05Busquets.
04:07On to Jordi Alba.
04:10Kriptsov.
04:17This is a lovely position to be in.
04:19Keeping the ball and the lead.
04:27Some good work to win it there.
04:30And there's the equaliser.
04:32It's all square again.
04:40Well, let's have a look at this again.
04:42It's a sweet connection.
04:44Generates so much power.
04:46Not many goalkeepers would keep that out.
04:59And away we go again at 1-all.
05:02Let's go, people!
05:04Up those hands that have marked our goals.
05:08Messi.
05:11Moving the ball forward.
05:12What can they do with this?
05:17There may be an opportunity to get their noses in front with this corner.
05:33It's played in now.
05:36The defence does its work.
05:43Mane.
05:52Rozovic.
05:56Ottavio.
06:04Pulls it back.
06:06To put them ahead.
06:08It's a goal that gives them the advantage.
06:26Well, let's look at this again.
06:27He's done really well to pick out a teammate here.
06:30It's a perfect cutback.
06:31And it makes a striker's job relatively easy.
06:34All he has to do is make the right connection.
06:36It's a really good goal.
06:50So off we go at 2-1 now.
06:55Dressel.
06:59Messi.
07:05He's lost the ball.
07:07And any chance is gone.
07:10Cristiano Ronaldo.
07:18Marcelo Weigant.
07:24And the forward progress continues.
07:33Mane.
07:37They've given it away here.
07:47Jordi Alba.
07:52Sergio Busquets.
07:55Weigant.
07:58Julian Bressel.
08:00Onto Messi.
08:03Moving it forward with purpose.
08:05Something on, maybe.
08:07They have to deliver a good ball in.
08:12It's terrific.
08:14Oh, top quality goalkeeping.
08:16To deny what looks a likely goal.
08:19Mane.
08:26Well read to gain possession.
08:33Weigant.
08:38Julian Bressel.
08:41Lionel Messi.
08:43Sergio Busquets.
08:45And that'll do it.
08:47The end of the first 45 minutes here.
08:52Cristiano Ronaldo has shown his exceptional talent so far.
08:56It's been a performance of the highest quality.
08:58He's been the standout.
09:00The difference between the two teams.
09:02And at times he's been unplayable.
09:04The goals were clinical.
09:06And he just looked hungry for more.
09:16Go, go.
09:18Go, go.
09:18Go, go, go.
09:47The ball is rolling and the second half is underway.
10:13Decent move looked to be building, but that's it for now.
10:23Mane.
10:33Otavio.
10:37Mane.
10:38Untidy in possession there.
10:43And we could watch that sort of skill all day.
10:49Gressa.
10:55They're just looking now for that final pass through.
10:59There's the shot, but well watched by the goalkeeper and not one for the highlights.
11:09Laporte.
11:13Mane.
11:20Otavio.
11:28That's a lovely ball and what a chance.
11:31And that's where the attack ends, overcooked and behind.
11:58Sluts off.
12:07Trudy Alba.
12:20It's waiting in the centre.
12:33Otavio.
12:39Anderson Zaliska.
12:41And possession given away.
12:49Messi.
12:54And it's on now.
12:57Another goal.
12:58And it's one that tightens their grip on this game.
13:16Well, here we can see it again and he probably won't get an easier finish than that.
13:20But there was never any doubt that he'd put that one away.
13:48Off we go then, 3-1 the score now.
13:57There's something happening for them now.
14:03They're going to put the cross in.
14:04Well, it did look promising, but threat averted.
14:19It's in.
14:21And this game isn't lost or won just yet.
14:31Well, here it is again and he just makes it look so easy, doesn't he?
14:35He skips past the defender like he wasn't there and then truly slots it home.
15:05So, yet another goal.
15:063-2 now and off they go.
15:09Mane
15:11Laforte
15:13Otavio
15:17Anderson Taliska
15:22Options available in the middle
15:25Coming infield now
15:28Mane
15:29Genuine chance
15:31And the keeper's done really well to keep that out
15:39Well, what a great save that was to keep them in this
15:42May just be the impetus they need
15:44As they haven't been at their best today, really
15:51Otavio
15:55And that's nicely won to see off the threat
16:04Leonor Masi
16:05Still pushing forward in search of the equaliser
16:13And that's where it ends
16:14With possession lost
16:22Breaking at pace, this could be dangerous
16:27Great chance here
16:28Another goal
16:29And one that surely will seal the win
16:44Well, take a look at this
16:46The pace they show on transition
16:47It's just so impressive
16:49The defenders can't stay with them
16:51And the finish, it's hit with some power
16:54Some precision
16:55Certainly a player in confident mood
17:08We restart at 4-2
17:10The goals continue to come
17:14Jordi Alba
17:17Nicely sets it up
17:19And that is a quality bit of goalkeeping
17:28And the keeper able to hold on to it at the second attempt
17:32Well, you can sense the relief
17:33It's a fantastic initial save though
17:39Using his strength well
17:40There's a chance for the breakaway here
17:57There's good width to this attack now
18:02But not the end result they wanted
18:04From an encouraging position
18:09And it's on Taliska
18:14Otavio
18:14And the forward progress continues
18:16With a good ball
18:21Ronaldo
18:26Now to deliver a good ball in
18:29And that's where it ends
18:30With possession lost
18:32So that will do it
18:34A disappointing result
18:35Whichever way you slice it
18:37Sue, your thoughts on that performance
18:39They certainly weren't at their best today
18:41The passing just wasn't incisive enough
18:43They kept getting caught in possession
18:45And they'll know a big improvement's needed
18:47For the next time out
18:50Well, rightly so
18:51The cameras are affixed to Cristiano Ronaldo
18:54Another exceptional performance
18:56To add to his long, long list
18:58Yeah, he caused them
18:59Yeah, he caused them a lot of problems
19:00Off the ball
19:01Closing them down
19:02And never giving them a minute in possession
19:03On the ball
19:05He was brave
19:05And showed quality with his goals
