A stoppage time goal to seal the victory, for sure.
20:55
Barcelona 3-2 Spurs: ANSU FATI SCORES
90': Ansu Fati has given Barcelona a 3-2 lead with a powerful strike!
Marcos Alonso, a superb creator since coming on, slipped him pst the Spurs defence and he finished low in the corner. Vicario could only flail as the ball whizzed past him. A nice finish.

88': Sarr on for Bissouma
20:51
Barcelona 2-2 Spurs: Alonso forces save from free-kick

20:48
Barcelona 2-2 Spurs: Torres goal info
It was an easy finish for Ferran Torres inside the box after substitute Yamine Lamal squared the ball. The chance came out of nothing from a long ball. I must admit, I don't even remember the precocious Yamal being subbed on in the first place, but it turns out he was snuck on for Garcia.
And just as we type, Ezzalzouli hits a dipping shot from range, forcing Vicario to dive to his near right bottom corner to save.

20:34
Barcelona 1-2 Spurs: Gundogan and Romeu bring down Bissouma
69': Bissouma has taken a beating tonight. Gundogan went in there for the feet and as he stumbled past the ex-City man, Romeu followed up with a stray arm to bring him down. Bissouma has been the heartbeat of the engine room tonight and the first to fly into the thick of things.
20:32
Barcelona 1-2 Spurs: Postecoglou's men against the wall
68': It has been a backs-against-the-wall few minutes for Spurs. Barcelona, with their squadron of subs, look much fresher. 68% possession for them this half.
20:31
Barcelona 1-2 Spurs: Ezzalzouli looking bright!
65:' Ezzalzouli has only been on the pitch for five minutes and he's had, what, three shots already? Each time he has been fed throguh on the right hand side. Marcos Alonso could be the key to unlocking Spurs here with some great vision to spot Ezzalzouli, but Spurs have clung on.

Barcelona 1-2 Spurs: Richarlison blasts over
54': Some nice play from Spurs, that. A quick passage of short passes saw the ball end up with Richarlison on the edge of the area, and he turned under pressure to crack off a shot, but he couldn't keep it down.
20:15
Barcelona 1-2 Spurs: Both sides feeling their way in
52': Neither side have made a major breakthrough in the second half, but it is end-to-end. Davinson Sanchez has looked solid. No proper chances yet.
20:12
Barcelona 1-2 Spurs: Porro's resolute defence
48': Balde had some complaints after a robust, rather handsy challenged from Pedro Porro near the goal line but the referee dismissed any complaints. Fair but firm defending.

Barcelona 1-2 Spurs: half-time recap
Oliver Skipp emerged from the first half as an unlikely hero with two goals.
Robert Lewandowski had opened the scoring just minutes in and Barcelona had the better of the opening 20 minutes, but slowly the visitors found their feet.
Skipp scored an easy tap-in on 23 minutes but that was all Spurs needed to justify their existence in this game, and from then they have looked markedly different.
A header from the midfielder after 37 minutes has given Spurs the lead, but they have had moments of frailty. This game could still go either way.

Barcelona 1-2 Spurs: half-time
19:52
Barcelona 1-2 Spurs: Gavi heads wide
45+3: Gavi heads wide from a few yards out. Raphinha had put in a good spinning cross and if Gavi hadn't headed it, Oriol Romeu would have. Spurs could have defended better there - nobody was out to Raphinha quick enough.
19:49
Barcelona 1-2 Spurs: three minutes of added time
19:48
Barcelona 1-2 Spurs: Postecoglou's men growing in confidence
44': Manor Solomon just found himself 1-on-1 with ter Stegen, albeit under pressure from Garcia, but fired straight at the goalie.
By no means are Spurs dominating this match but they have managed to nullify the early potency of their Spanish aggressors.
The ball has been played around mostly in midfield in recent minutes but for Solomon's break on the through ball.
19:41
Barcelona 1-2 Spurs: Skipp with the header!
37:' Skipp is rewarded for a well-timed run into the area, skipping through the box and beating Frenkie de Jong to meet Ivan Perisic's cross! 2-1, and what a header it was into the roof of the net.
19:40
Barcelona 1-1 Spurs: Bissouma down but carries on
36:' Yves Bissouma is down and it doesn't look great. Lewandowski arrived late to the challenge and effectively stood on his shin, but it must be a well fortified shin, because Bissouma is carrying on with little complaint after.
19:37
Barcelona 1-1 Spurs: Solomon hits wide
32': Solomon did well to bring the ball down in a packed area and squeezed it past Lewandowski to work some space, but he hit a shot wide. He had little time to compose himself and was off balance so no fingers pointed for that miss.
19:36
Barcelona 1-1 Spurs: Sergi Roberto introduced
32:' Sergi Roberto subbed on for Ronald Araujo.
19:34
Barcelona 1-1 Spurs: Sanchez with a superhuman tackle
30:' Araujo was dashing onto the ball down the left but on the edge of the area, Davinson Sanchez attempted an audacious and ultimately expert slide tackle, scooping the ball away. A couple of yards further and it would have been a penalty, but Sanchez is the hero for that.
19:33
Barcelona 1-1 Spurs: Vicario's acrobatics and Bissouma booked
27': Vicario rushes out to meet the ball before Lewandowski can get to it and heads away from the edge of the area, but the ball fell to Raphinha.
He tried to lob the stranded 'keeper but Vicario was having none of it, rushing back to save the cheeky chip.
Bissouma has also been booked.
19:28
Barcelona 1-1 Spurs: Oliver Skipp scores!
23': Oliver Skipp converts a rebound for an easy tap in!
Reguilon had made an expert run down the left. He played it into the box for Lo Celso, whose original shot hit the post, falling to the grateful feet of Skipp. Game on.
19:26
Barcelona 1-0 Spurs: Tottenham corners come to nothing
21': A succession of Spurs corners. The first clatters off the frame of the goal, the second sails into the arms of ter Stegen, but not comfortably. Putting the German under pressure could produce results tonight.
19:23
Barcelona 1-0 Spurs: Lewandowski tests Vicario from range
19:' Lewandowski hits a venemous shot from outside the area, but Vicario springs into action and makes a good diving save to his left.
19:21
Barcelona 1-0 Spurs: Bissouma brings down Balde
17:' A taste of their own medicine for Barcelona.
Yves Bissouma tugs down Balde on the left.
19:19
Barcelona 1-0 Spurs: Sanchez header saved
15': No trouble for Marc-ANdre ter Stegen as he saves a Davinson Sanchez header straight down the middle.
19:18
Barcelona 1-0 Spurs: Barca get dirty
14:' Frenkie de Jong has just hacked down Manor Solomon as he broke down the right flank, but he's okay. Barca are not giving Spurs an easy ride tonight.
19:15
Barcelona 1-0 Spurs: Barca control early stages
11': Barcelona have controlled the opening stages, retaining the ball calmly. Alejandro Balde is having joywith his surges down the left and it looks as if Pedro Porro will have his hands full tonight trying to deal with the left-back and Gavi.
19:12
Barcelona 1-0 Spurs: Skipp down
8': Oliver Skipp has just been feeling his leg and physios have taken a look at him. He was caught by a late challenge by Garcia.
19:09
Barcelona 1-0 Spurs: Raphinha fires over the bar
5': A mistake at the back saw the ball fall to Raphinha but he blasted over the bar. Should have been 2-0. Spurs look shaky.
19:07
Barcelona 1-0 Spurs: Robert Lewandowski scores
3': Robert Lewandowski opens the scoring from point-blank range after a superb run and assist down the right side from Raphinha.
19:04
And we're underway!

Barcelona vs Spurs head-to-head record
Barcelona and Spurs have only met six times in history, and none of them have gone Spurs's way, with the Catalans clinching three wins and three draws.
Their last meeting was in the group stages of the 2018/19 Champions League, when a Lionel Messi-inspired Barca surged to a 4-2 victory in London. Messi scored two that night alongside Ivan Rakitic and Philippe Coutinho, while Harry Kane and Erik Lamela grabbed one each for the hosts.

Spurs' busy day of transfers
Today has been a head-poundingly exciting day for Spurs fans as the club have announced not one, but two signings.
Defender Micky van de Ven has completed a £43m move from Wolfsburg and should fit nicely into a regular starting spot, while they've picked up 19-year-old striker Alejo Veliz from R

18:14
Spurs line-up is out
Spurs have confirmed their line-up ahead of their second participation in the Joan Gamper Trophy.
The gargantuan elephant in the room is that there's no Harry Kane, and there's little secret why.
The 30-year-old is desperate for Bayern Munich and his current employers to sort out his transfer, whether he's staying or leaving, and he's sitting out tonight as a result.
Our team to take on Barcelona! 💪
