Match Report
Barcelona survived a second-half Borussia Dortmund onslaught to claim a point in Germany as Marco Reus' penalty was saved by German keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Jadon Sancho won the penalty after being clipped by Nelson Semedo, but ter-Setegn read Reus' penalty, saving superbly down low to his left.
Lionel Messi came on with 30 minutes to go but struggled to influence proceedings as Dortmund did everything but score - Reus missed again from close range and Julian Brandt rattled the crossbar yet it remained goalless, despite a late opportunity for Messi but his close range shot was blocked.

13' Griezmann comes close!
Griezmann with the first attempt at goal, but his curling effort from the edge of the box takes a deflection and flies wide of the post and out for a corner.
25' CHANCE! Great save by Ter Stegen to deny Reus!
Wonderful play by Dortmund on the edge of the penalty area, Hazard plays a deft ball in-behind the Barca defence, that Reus runs onto, totally unmarked and he just has the keeper to beat.
However, Ter-Stegen makes himself big and makes a superb stop from close range. Best chance of the game.
28' MISS! Hummels' header over the bar
Reus whips the ball into the box and Hummels gets a touch on it, but he sends it high over the crossbar, not troubling Ter-Stegen.
39' CHANCE! Sancho with a great opportunity
Brilliant counter by the hosts, they open up the Barca defence and Alcacer cuts the ball back to Sancho who raced to the edge of the box, unmarked and in plenty of space.
However, the winger skies his effort high over the crossbar, he should be doing better there.

Messi, who is making his long-awaited return from injury, replaces Fati 60 minutes into the game.

Reus again, but this time from close range as Brandt drills the ball across the six-yard box and Ter Stegen gets down quickly to stop the flick on from Reus heading into the back of the net.
