Barcelona meet Lyon in the last 16 of the Champions League as the continue to chase a spectacular treble.

Barca came through the group stage undefeated, are top of La Liga and are into the Copa del Rey semi-finals, but they have been through mixed form in recent weeks.

Lyon managed to beat Manchester City in the group stages and will surely need a similar result here at home in order to come through the tie at the Camp Nou. Follow it live:

The players are assembling themselves in the tunnel.

We are pretty much ready to go.

Kick-off at Anfield.

And things are underway at the Groupama Stadium in Lyon, too.

Liverpool 0-0 Bayern Munich, 1 minute

It looks a 4-3-3 for Liverpool, with Fabinho left of Joel Matip at the back.

Thiago and Javi Martinez sit behind James Rodriguez for Bayern. Serge Gnabry, formerly of Arsenal, starts on the right and Kingsley Coman left.

Liverpool 0-0 Bayern Munich, 2 minutes

Typically energetic pressing from Liverpool in the opening moments, forcing Manuel Never to launch long towards nobody in particular.

Lyon 0-0 Barcelona, 3 minutes

A first sighting of Lionel Messi with the ball at his feet, Sergio Roberto dispossessing Houssem Aouar to free his teammate.

The Lyon midfielder has to scythe Messi down on the edge of the box, and is duly booked. A big chance.

Lyon 0-0 Barcelona, 4 minutes

Messi saunters up to take the free kick, and tries a deft clip-of-sorts, but that's very poor by his standards.

Flies over the crossbar. Goal kick.

Lyon 0-0 Barcelona, 5 minutes

Technique!

Houssem Aouar shows his quality at the other end, somehow carving out a crisp strike with the ball almost beneath him, chopping down on the ball to produce awkward shape and force Marc-Andre ter Stegen into a strong save to his left.

​Liverpool 0-0 Bayern Munich, 6 minutes

Liverpool just edging the early proceedings at Anfield. 

Bayern Munich are defending relatively deeply. Joshua Kimmich and David Alaba particularly withheld thus far.

Harry Latham-Coyle19 February 2019 20:08

Liverpool 0-0 Bayern Munich, 8 minutes

Bayern Munich show their considerable chops in possession for the first time, Joshua Kimmich combining nicely with James Rodriguez and Serge Gnabry on the right to retain the ball for a lengthier spell.
