00:02It's way from the nearby station and we expect every seat to be filled.
00:08An atmosphere of great expectation and excitement.
00:13This is of course the Camp Nou, one of the best known, perhaps the best known of all, the venues
00:20in European football.
00:23There are plenty looking forward to seeing this, a capacity crowd here.
00:27Well, on the face of it, Peter, we would appear to have a high caliber meeting with very little at
00:33stake.
00:33But then you consider a chance for one or two of the fringe players to get a look in.
00:38And this becomes a big incentive. It changes the dynamic.
00:42So there's plenty at stake for them, which will do no harm to the energy levels and the overall conviction
00:49and hopefully the style of contest.
00:52Just joining us. We are already on the way.
00:58Silva.
01:02And it's Mondi.
01:03Gets it back.
01:06Now it's Hazard.
01:09Kroos.
01:10And it's been intercepted and that will come to nothing.
01:13Now it's Isco.
01:15Isco.
01:16Into opposition territory.
01:18Isco.
01:23Rodri demonstrating fabulous determination.
01:26He just will not be beaten.
01:28Well, you could see he was eager to get a shot away, but there was too much flesh and bone
01:31in his path.
01:35That's Amiro with the challenge and he has given away a free kick.
01:38That's Amiro to this.
01:51And we should have taken away.
01:54I think Matt may brunt for this.
01:59Take it back.
01:59All right.
02:10and it's monday
02:12and that was asking just too much of him
02:30Ben Sabah Fernandinho battles to win it back now it's sterling
02:37now it's silver that it's silver full tilt down the left
02:44took the hide for a corner kick
02:56strong punch
03:03and the shots
03:05oh just lacked a decent finish
03:08it was more possible than probable
03:10and the outcome backed it up peter
03:14good challenge he just stood firm
03:16yeah he's pulled him up for that challenge
03:37oh a very decent attempt
03:44silver
03:45and it's sterling
03:46oh no that's not the ball he wanted
03:55silver
03:56some clever work on the flank
03:58yeah they seem to be encouraging both fullbacks to ease inside
04:02so we'll keep it
04:03he's gone for it
04:05and he's there to make a great save
04:08Sanic is very sporting here to acknowledge the quality of the save
04:12a lovely little footballing moment
04:22towering header
04:24oh denied brilliantly
04:27well you can ask
04:28real chance
04:30it's off target and by quite a way
04:54and it's azar and it's been taken straight back
04:59Rodri
05:03Sané
05:04a buccaneering run from the defender
05:12now it's Benzema
05:16nicely measured pass
05:19too much on it
05:20and that's the keepers
05:23silver
05:25sterling
05:31Rodri
05:33if you have just joined us well you've missed no goals
05:38and here's Sané
05:42Marcelo very firm in standing his ground there
05:45it is a tough full contact contest
05:50just brushed off the ball there
05:52he is not one readily to admit defeat
05:55don't be surprised if he tries that again
06:00more than happy to take the muscular approach
06:03that's great defensive work
06:05it doesn't take too much imagination to guess what would have happened otherwise
06:08well he was thinking about headlines I'm sure
06:11but he ought to focus more on on breaking lines
06:16up to meet it
06:19good delivery
06:20no joy
06:21well being able to generate that amount of activity in the box means it's hard not to pick someone out
06:43oh that's a waste
06:54now it's Isco
06:59Fernandinho
07:00Fernandinho
07:05Silva
07:06Mondi
07:12Rodri
07:15hoist it forward
07:17Kyle Walker
07:21get a throw in
07:26and it's Walker
07:28here it comes
07:37well no question as to who's winning the battle in midfield at the moment some very impressive pressing in place
07:44here
07:44and here's Sterling
07:46and here's Sterling
07:47and here's Sterling
07:55it's a throw in
07:56it's a throw in
08:05and it's played forward
08:11De Bruyne
08:13Walker
08:14has come steaming
08:15tries a shot
08:18just couldn't quite turn it in
08:20it's good delivery though
08:21clearly trying to draw the goalkeeper into an area he doesn't want to come
08:45and it's Sané
08:53That's our Benzema
08:55The pass needed to be better than that and he knows it
09:04It's a loose ball
09:06And here's Benzema
09:10Fernandinho did well to emerge with the ball
09:12That's a contest to keep an eye on
09:17Sané, great strength, too strong for his opponent
09:29That's a throw
09:36And it's Benzema
09:43Walker
09:45Played into the middle
09:51Oh, that's clearly not what he wanted to do
10:03Gets up to head it
10:05Goal
10:06And always such a great time to score
10:09A brilliant boost before you head in for half time
10:12And you can guarantee that dressing room will be buzzing now
10:20That is a fine goal
10:22Really efficiently done
10:23Well, look, it's often the timing of the jump
10:26That dictates what you can do with any header
10:28And if you get it slightly wrong
10:30Then you'll struggle
10:31But that was beautifully met
10:32It really was
10:58A 1-0 lead established
11:01A 1-0 lead established
11:03Really exciting and entertaining game from here on
11:07He's looked long this time
11:10Gets away from his opponents
11:12Could be a chance here
11:17Isco
11:18And that'll be the last act of the first half
11:21And there we are
11:22Off they go for half time
11:24The breakthrough did indeed come in the first half
11:26But there has only been that one goal
11:29It is very, very tight
11:32Not the most convincing of displays
11:34They could certainly do much better than this
11:36They'll want to keep things simple
11:37Build up their confidence
11:38And not rush into mistakes
11:41That gets things going for the second half
11:45Madrid didn't have a great first half
11:47They need a change of fortune
11:51Benzema
11:51Oh, shooting chance
11:55Great build up
11:56It all deserved a better ending
11:57Yeah, but I really like that link up there
12:00I think something
12:01I'm sure they can work on again
12:02And get it right
12:21Silver
12:24Sterling
12:24Tries lifting it over
12:27Sergio Ramos
12:29Tries to get it forward quickly
12:33Out of play for a goal kick
12:40Forward it goes
12:43Silver
12:45Sterling
12:48He's made sure that that won't get through
13:07Benzema
13:09That's R
13:13Benzema
13:24Benzema
13:25Fernandinho gets it out to the wing
13:28De Bruyne takes the long option
13:32Sané
13:35That was always going to be the keepers
13:37Now it's Benzema
13:40Tony Kroos
13:41That's alert and sharp
13:43And very well played
13:46Fernandinho
13:49Fernandinho drives it forward
13:57And here's Aguero
13:59Aguero with a delicate ball
14:02Whipped in
14:04Good take by the keeper
14:06He's read that well
14:08And it's Azar
14:10Looses his balance
14:11And loses the ball
14:15David Silva
14:16Who does have an assist to his name
14:19Looks to clip it forward
14:20Well positioned to make that interception
14:24Silva
14:27Madrid
14:28Still trailing by one
14:29And looking here to take it up a notch
14:31After the break
14:33No it's Aguero
14:35Azar
14:36Good challenge
14:37He just stood firm
14:43He's got options out wide
14:45Header
14:46Oh that is asking for trouble
15:06Massive leap
15:09Cleared away
15:10Can he find a finish now?
15:13Time to deliver
15:15Mendy
15:16Proving impossible to wrestle off the ball
15:18He's had a shot
15:20Trying to get there
15:22Sane opts to play it back
15:27To Bruyne
15:31Oh well intercepted
15:33Really alert to the danger
15:36And it's a corner
15:45Repelled by the keeper
15:47And the volley
15:49Mendy
15:50Weighed up the options
15:51And picked the wrong one
15:56And it's Mondi
15:58Now it's Azar
16:00Now it's Benzema
16:06Mondi
16:07Mendy
16:08Goes looking
16:11David Silva
16:13Proves too strong there
16:14And Sane
16:16A real chance
16:19And a real let off
16:20Oh I'm not sure
16:22What he had in mind
16:23And I don't think
16:24He knew either
16:35And here's Benzema
16:37The ball needed to be better there
16:39That's a wasted chance
16:43Can't get the better of his opposite number
16:49Silva
16:50So Jim what are you thinking?
16:52Well at the moment
16:52Their chances of getting back in contention
16:55Look slim
16:55They're not exerting enough pressure
16:57Simple as that
17:00And the assistant referee
17:01Has his flag raised
17:02For offside
17:11Stokes
17:14Mendy
17:15Plays it forward
17:18Oh good interception
17:21Nacho
17:21Tries to get it forward quickly
17:30Tony Kroos
17:33Well it's good stuff
17:34This is better
17:35Well Jim there's not too much
17:37Subtlety or sophistication
17:38About this
17:39It really is a question
17:40Of needs must
17:42Just has to be done
17:51And here's
17:52And here's Benzema
17:53Isco
17:54Right through the middle
17:56Has a pop
18:00Keep calm
18:01And carry on
18:02That's the job
18:03In a nutshell now
18:08Now it's Aguero
18:12This is good ball retention
18:14And it should be enough from here
18:16But they want to double their advantage
18:22And he's going long
18:26And it's played forward
18:27Well it's a safety in numbers approach
18:31To defending here
18:32Yeah
18:32Baza
18:35Should have been the equaliser
18:36It looked like he got a bit anxious there
18:39When the pressure was on
18:42Stokes
18:47There's a real appetite
18:48From them to
18:49Finally put this game to bed
18:51But will they?
18:59Rodri drives it forward
19:01He's through now
19:02Is he in?
19:04There's a real appetite
19:06From them to
19:07Finally put this game to bed
19:08But will they?
19:17And the header
19:20A collective sigh of relief
19:22From the defence
19:23Well I think the opposition
19:24Was pretty sloppy
19:25In creating a problem
19:26For themselves then
19:27But he was on to it
19:28So quickly
19:29And very nearly
19:30Made him take
19:33Brings it forward
19:35Now it's Isco
19:38Well it remains to be seen
19:39Whether they can come up
19:40With that little bit of class
19:41To rescue this situation
19:42And it needs to be any time
19:44Now really
19:50That's all
19:53Tony Kroos
19:54Now it's
19:56Assa
19:56On the balls come loose
19:58And they've been caught out here
20:04Sterling
20:05And it's Aguero
20:07Now it's Sonny
20:10And the referee
20:11Brings it to a close
20:13So it ends 1-0
20:14An enthralling game
20:16And an agonisingly narrow defeat
20:19What are your thoughts
20:20On today's game then Jim?
20:21That's a fairly demoralising loss
20:24They hardly threatened
20:25And this was about
20:26As insipid
20:27As it comes
20:30So thank you very much
