Luka Modric came closest to breaking the deadlock in the first half with a left -
footed shot from the edge of the box that flew inches wide of the far post.
Not exact matches
Barca began at a high - tempo with Iniesta firing wide
from 20 yards and then Messi screwed an angled
shot with his weaker right
foot past the post
from the
edge of the six - yard
box before two minutes were even on the clock.
Pushing onto his right
foot, the midfielder arrives on the
edge of the
box and feints a
shot, causing central defender Jamaal Lascelles to hesitate for a fraction
of second, leaning the weight
of his body marginally to his right to block Ox's path and consequently moving away
from Mohamed Salah in the
box to his left.
Sanchez next struck a swerving right -
foot shot from the left
edge of the
box which rebounded clear off the post.
Montoya was almost an unlikely match - winner on 88 minutes but his right -
footed attempt
from the
edge of the
box crashed back off the bar, before Pedro burst through in stoppage time and unleashed a left -
footed shot which flew just wide.
