Barcelona were lucky to escape Germany with a point as they played out an entertaining goalless draw with Borussia Dortmund.

On a difficult night for Barcelona, Jordi Alba was forced off with a first-half hamstring injury, before Nélson Semedo conceded a penalty.

Marco Reus stepped up for Dortmund, only to see his penalty saved by the excellent Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Barcelona pushed for a late winner and sent on both Lionel Messi and Ivan Rakitic, but neither side was able to break the deadlock.

Here is how we rated the two teams.
