Barcelona kick off their Europa League Round of 16 participation with a home match against Turkish giants Galatasaray at the Camp Nou tonight.
60th Min: Xavi's changes have immediately improved things for the home side. 20th Min: No change in the score line after 20 minutes in Catalonia with no shots on target for either side so far in a tame opening in this clash. 10th Min: No real chances at either end in the opening ten minutes at the Camp Nou as Xavi's Barca look to settle. No goals in the first 45 minutes at the Camp Nou with Memphis' two chances posing the biggest threat for the hosts with Galatasaray threatening on the counter attack. 38th Min: First half bookings for both sides as Berkan Kutlu is cautioned and Depay goes into the referee's notebook for a clumsy challenge on Sofiane Feghouli. 40th Min: First chance for Galatasaray as Kerem Akturkoglu drifts through a few challenges and lets fly but a sliding Eric Garcia deflects the strike over the bar. Auba and Busquets on for the second half? Xavi was clearly unimpressed by his side in the first 45 minutes as he makes a triple substitution for the second period. 69th Min: Galatasaray boss Domenec Torrent looks to change his charges up for the final minutes with a double change as Bafetimbi Gomis and Emre Kilinc come on and Ryan Babel and Mostafa Mohamed go off. 50th Min: First chance of the second period for Barcelona but Memphis' free kick just evades Pique and Galatasaray clear their lines. 61st Min: As a frustrated Memphis lashes one over the top Xavi calls the Dutchman to come off as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang replaces him. Barcelona were unable to find a way through a stubborn Galatasaray defence on the night despite Xavi bringing on his big guns in the second period and the Catalan giants will now need to win in Turkey to reach the last eight next week.

69 mins: Adama Traore seems to have been told to shoot when he cuts in from the right but his quality is lacking. He lets fly with a right-footed strike but belts the effort high and wide. He chips it over to Pedri who nods the ball to Aubameyang. Aubameyang chests the ball down to the arriving De Jong but he can only flick the ball to the far post where it bounces back to the goalkeeper who clings onto it! The ball is chipped over the top and Gomis brings it under control. 90+4 mins: Galatasaray keep Barcelon out! They’re digging in for a draw.

Despite dominating possession in the first half over the Turkish Super Lig side, Barcelona were unable to find a breakthrough and the score remained level at 0-0 at the break.
