Barcelona v Galatasaray - as it happened

FT: Barcelona 0-0 Galatasaray! That's it and Galatasaray have held on to earn a draw! A fourth away clean sheet in a row for them in this competition and they have deserved it, keeping Barcelona at bay. The home side had their chances, albeit most of them half-chances, but were unable to make any of them count. All to play for in Istanbul next week.

Corner awarded to Barcelona.

Gala sub: Baris Alper Yilmaz on for Akturkoglu.

Dest's cross is nodded behind for another corner, but once more the danger is quelled by the Galatasaray defence – Gomis with the header out this time.

4 minutes added on!

Jordi Alba is booked.

Dembele strikes this time but again it's blocked, this time by Kutlu. Galatasaray have defended manfully.

Luuk de Jong down the middle, Auba left and Dembélé on Adama's old beat.

Barca sub: Luuk de Jong on for Adama Traore.

Gala sub: Cicaldau replaces Feghouli.

VAR – decision confirmed: Gomis' goal disallowed for offside! Gomis has the ball in the back of the net but the offside flag is up! A brief moment of joy for the visitors, cut short by the officials. VAR will check it and the decision is spot on from the assistant referee.

Antalyali is shown a yellow card. Antalyali gives chase to Dembele and pulls him back, earning him the third yellow card of the match.

De Jong has hit the post! Traoré stands the ball up once more and there's an attempted overhead from Aubameyang which is miscued and the arriving De Jong can only divert it against the upright.

Dembele cuts inside this time and shoots from 20 metres, but it's always rising and goes over the top.

Traore jinks his way into the penalty area and eventually makes space for a left-footed shot which goes wide of the far post.

Gala double sub: Gomis on for Mohamed and Kilinc on for Babel.

Corner awarded to Barcelona.

Kerem Akturkoglu is flagged for offside.

Relentless pressure from the home side and eventually space opens up for De Jong to shoot. He scored a stunner against Napoli but this one is straight at Iñaki Peña, who saves.

Close! Traore gets past his man and stands a cross up which is headed out by Antalyali as far as Jordi Alba, who crashes a volley towards goal but it whistles the wrong side of the post.

One hour in and Barcelona's fourth change – Auba on. But also Pique making penalty-box runs already. Barcelona really want a breakthrough.

Barca sub: Auba replaces Memphis.

Depay flashes a shot wide and that will be his final act, replaced by the in-form Aubameyang.

Sergio Busquets meets the corner and his header is pushed over the top by Iñaki Peña.

Two shots in quick succession as Dembele's effort from the left is deflected to Traore, who doesn't panic with the ball at his feet, but is thwarted by van Aanholt's block.

Aubameyang out on the touchline warming up. Xavi likely won't wait long to use his recently prolific centre forward if this stays 0-0.

Pace and power from Traoré to win this latest corner, but once more it's lapped up by the Galatasaray defence.

One of those awkward free-kicks this one, too far out for a shot, too central for an easy cross and in the end Jordi Alba floats it just out of reach of Piqué and into the arms of the keeper.

Not just changes of personnel, changes of position. With Busquets on De Jong becomes an attacking right midfielder. With Dembele on Depay moves to the No9 position. And when Barcelona have two right footed centre backs on the pitch it's normally Pique who switches to the left. Not here – Eric Garcia plays off his weaker foot instead.

Barca gets us going again.

Barca triple HT sub: Pique, Dembele and Busquets on for Ronald Araujo, Ferran Torres and Nico.

HT: Barcelona 0-0 Galatasaray! No goals at the break after a half which took a while to spark into life. Iñaki Peña has made two smart saves against his parent club, both to deny Depay, but Galatasaray's one shot is the closest either side have come, Eric García doing superbly to deflect Kerem Akturkoglu's effort over the top. A frustrating half for the home side, and a promising one from their visitors.

Corner awarded to Barcelona.

Boey nods Traore's free-kick up in the air and Jordi Alba arrives to blast a volley at goal, but Boey recovers to block the shot.

Mohamed is adjudged to be in an offside position.

Corner awarded to Galatasaray, conceded by Eric Garcia.

Close! Brilliant play from Kerem Akturkoglu as he gets away from Dest and then de Jong before shooting from just inside the penalty area, but Eric García slides in to make a crucial block.

Depay is shown a yellow card for a foul on Boey.

Kutlu is cautioned for a foul on Pedri.

Foul by Adama Traore on Marcao.

Pedri is brought down by Kultu and Depay lines up the free-kick, central position, 25 metres from goal, and forces a brilliant save from Iñaki Peña, diving to his right to keep the effort out.

Foul by Kutlu on Pedri. Good chance for hosts.

Traore tries to cross with the outside of his boot but it hits Kerem Akturkoglu and goes behind for another corner.

The corner is aimed towards the edge of the penalty area but it's Babel who controls and takes the ball away from danger.

The Catalan winger has regularly won space, beaten his man for pace or produced a smashing little trick to get Barcelona up the pitch. But, as ever, it's about the final decision, final pass and, so far, he hasn't produced the breakthrough. His record so far, since joining on loan from Wolves, suggests that eventually he will.

This has already been a typical Adama performance since he returned to his Alma Mater.

Barcelona are unbeaten in their last nine UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League matches at the Camp Nou (W5 D4).

Three unsuccessful through balls from Gala midfielders to Mohamed in 10 minutes. No other sign of attacking attempts for the visitors yet.

Dest gets away this time on the right and sends the ball into the middle but Antalyal? does well to clear.

Jordi Alba is flagged for offside.

Foul by Marcao on Ferran Torres.

Jordi Alba crosses low from the left but Marcao comes across again to put pressure on Ferran Torres and the forward can only prod the ball away from goal.

A dangerous free-kick chance for Depay to cross, but it's headed clear.

Van Aanholt concedes a free-kick for a foul on Traore.

Corner awarded to Barcelona.

Barca open with Depay wide left and Ferran Torres nominally centre forward.

We are off! Barcelona in their traditional red and blue home shirts, with Galatasaray all in white.
