The Catalans are ahead with 10 minutes or so of normal time left on the clock.
21:13 BST - Goal! Juventus have the lead against AC Milan as Manuel Locatelli hits a shot from distance that takes a deflection on its way into the goal against his former club.
20:55 BST - It's 0-0 at half-time between Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao and truth be told it hasn't been a great watch.
Hopefully things pick up in the second half!
20:38 BST - In Serie A, it's half-time at the San Siro and remains goalless between AC Milan and Juventus.
The hosts are down to 10 men though after Malick Thiaw saw a straight red for pulling down last man Moise Kean.
20:24 BST - Unai Emery urged Aston Villa to chase their dreams this season after thrashing West Ham 4-1
"One of our dreams is to be with the top seven teams and to do something in Europe," said Emery, whose side are in the Europa Conference League this season.

20:10 BST - The match is underway at Estadio Olímpico as Barcelona host Athletic Bilbao in La Liga.
Here are the line-ups:
You can follow the match with live audio commentary here.
18:27 BST - All over at Villa Park. Aston Villa produce a silky display to down West Ham 4-1 and move up to fifth in the Premier League table.
18:20 BST - Fourth goal for Aston Villa! The points are surely the points wrapped up and it comes courtesy of Leon Bailey, who smashes in after his clever shimmy in the area.
18:05 BST - Goal for Aston Villa and what a finish by Ollie Watkins! The Villa talisman heads into the West Ham penalty area and he fires a left-footed effort high into the roof of the net.
17:47 BST - West Ham hit back! The Hammers reply instantly and it comes with a bit of fortune. Jarrod Bowen strikes from the corner of the box and it takes a massive deflection off Pau Torres. They won't care, though, and they are back in this one.
17:42 BST - Second goal for Aston Villa and Douglas Luiz doubles up! He dispatches a penalty after Ezri Konsa is felled in the box. Some breathing room for the hosts.
17:19 BST - Half-time and Aston Villa take a 1-0 lead over West Ham into the break of an entertaining encounter.
Unai Emery's side are well worth that lead but the Hammers ended the half strongly and they will sense they have every opportunity to turn this one around.
17:01 BST - Aston Villa score! They've really started to turn the screw and they are rewarded with the opener. Ollie Watkins picks out Douglas Luiz and the Brazilian does the rest, firing into the net.
In scoring, he becomes the first player to score in six competitive games for the club at Villa Park.
16:50 BST - What a miss! The ball finds Ollie Watkins in the box and - given his current form - he really should score but he drags his effort wide.
16:45 BST - Good start to this one. Villa came close to opening the scoring with Alphonse Areola saving Douglas Luiz's effort from the edge of the box, before Jarrod Bowen saw his shot saved down the other end.
16:32 BST - After a period of silence for the innocent lives lost in Israel and Gaza, as well as a tribute to the late Sir Bobby Charlton, the game is underway at Villa Park.

12:30 BST - Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford says the "whole world" knows Liverpool were favoured by match officials for Saturday's 2-0 defeat.

11:01 BST - Away from the Premier League, Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior said he saw racist abuse by a "child" during his team's 1-1 draw at Sevilla on Saturday.
Sevilla expelled a supporter for "racist and xenophobic behaviour", the club said in a statement, with Vinicius thanking them for their quick action, as well as highlighting another incident.
"Congratulations to Sevilla for their quick positioning (on the incident) and punishment in yet another sad episode for Spanish football," wrote Vinicius.
"Unfortunately, I had access to a video of another racist gesture in Saturday's match, this time carried out by a child.
"I am very sorry there is no one to educate you. I invest, and I invest a lot, in education in Brazil to help form citizens with different attitudes to these."

"The way the players reacted to (Chelsea's) the second goal is phenomenal," Arteta told Sky Sports. "That's the part I loved."

23:01 BST - It was a clinical counter-attack finished off by Mohamed Salah that put the Merseyside derby to bed this afternoon.
22:56 BST - Cross or shot? Mykhailo Mudryk won't care either way after scoring against the side he came so close to joining last season.

19:08 BST - Goal! Hope for Arsenal as a moment of madness from keeper Sanchez is capitalised on by Declan Rice from outside the box to cut the deficit in half.
