Barcelona 0-0 Juventus, Monaco 3-1 Borussia Dortmund - Champions League as it happened
Catalans out of Europe after Bianconeri stand strong at Nou Camp.
- Juventus hold firm at the Nou Camp and thwart Barcelona comeback to seal 3-0 aggregate win to book their place in the final four.
- Monaco join them in the semi-finals after sealing a 3-1 win over Borussia Dortmund, a 6-3 victory over two legs.
- Kylian Mbappe and Radamel Falcao scored in the first 45 minutes before Marco Reus pulled one back at the start of the second-half.
- Valère Germain scored 21 seconds after coming off the bench to put the tie to bed.
- Juventus and Monaco join Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in the sem-final draw, which takes Friday morning at 11:00am [BST].

Khedira is booked and he will miss the first leg of the semi-final. Sandro is caught out trying to nutmeg Suarez and the Uruguayan wins the ball off him, allowing him to race up towards the byline. Khedira has seen where his teammate failed and races in to stop Suarez with a pretty obvious foul. The Germany international is furious; not with the decision, but with Sandro for not clearing the ball and forcing him into the challenge.
Ridiculous stuff from Neymar, and not in a good way. Messi is felled by Pjanic and the free kick looks like it is going to be given Barcelona's way. Neymar doesn't hang around for that though, and steams in to leave a late one on the Juventus midfielder.
He's booked, and that means he;'ll miss the first leg of the semi-final - if Barcelona make it. Bear in mind, Neymar is also missing this Sunday's El Clasico after he was retrospectively banned for sarcastically applauding a referee earlier this month.
MORE RAGE from Barcelona fans. Neymar sprints down the right and cuts in a cracker of a cross from the right. It is picked up by Rakitic on the far side, but he appears to have his legs clipped by Sandro right on the line of the box. It looks a foul, but the referee waves play on and Juventus mount forward.
Neymar brilliantly jinks past one challenge before Chiellini gets a foot in to stop him. Barcelona recycle the ball however and Messi tries his luck from a little further out, testing Buffon from the edge of the box. His effort stings the Italian's gloves, but he manages to force it far enough away from goal.
Monaco lead inside three minutes! Mendy drives at the Dortmund defence who are backpeddling haplessly towards their own goal. It invites the full-back to shoot and he obliges, lashing a powerful effort at Burki. He can only bat it down into the path of Mbappe, who slots into the near corner on the rebound from six yards out.
Monaco lead 4-2 on aggregate
We are just over five minutes from kick-off at the Nou Camp; here's one more look at those line-ups.
Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Sergi Roberto, Piqué, Umtiti, Jordi Alba; Sergio Busquets, Rakitic, Iniesta; Messi, Luis Suárez, Neymar
Subs: Cillessen, Denis, Alcacer, Mascherano, Digne, Gomes, Alena
Juventus: Buffon; Alves, Bonucci, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Cuadrado, Khedira, Pjanic, Mandzukic; Higuaín, Dybala
Subs: Neto, Marchisio, Barzagli, Lemina, Asamoah, Lichtsteiner, Rincon
Marc Bartra is here tonight and according to Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel, he will have the chance to address his teammates in the dressing room ahead of kick-off. How is that for motivation?

A tweet from Uefa now states kick-off is only delayed by five minutes. No reference to the Dortmund bus being delayed either.

Dortmund's tweet notes their bus was held "without justification."

All of our focus has been on the match at the Nou Camp, tonight, so let's switch our attention to Monaco vs Borussia Dortmund. The Ligue 1 leaders clinched a 3-2 lead at the Westfalenstadion in the first-leg with Kylian Mbappe scoring twice, but the match was a mere footnote.
Borussia Dortmund's bus was targeted by three explosions as it made it's way to the stadium, with defender Marc Bartra injured in the blast. The former Barcelona defender underwent surgery on his arm later that night and is thankfully on the mend having only suffered superficial injuries.
Staggeringly, the match went ahead the following day, a decision which was widely criticised. Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel said his side were "ignored" during the confusion, with Uefa notifying the club via text message that the match would go ahead.
They are back for the second leg tonight and Tuchel is confident his side are feeling far stronger than they did eight days ago.
"We've got this out of our system now and we're more stable emotionally.
"All that happened last week has made us stronger. Now we have to play well and I'm convinced we can do that. We're ready and focused.
"We know it will be very tough, but we have the energy and confidence we need to get a result.
"Our players are confident. We have a good mix between experienced and young players. We know what we need to do. We are here to win by two goals."
Here's another extraordinary stat to scare a Barcelona fan.
How tough is it for Barcelona? Buffon's only ever lost once in #UCL by a scoreline that would even force extra time https://t.co/hoXFqKXdy6

Why on earth would Massimiliano Allegri change his side after what happened in Turin last week? After that minor injury scare on Saturday, Paulo Dybala is fine to start tonight in an unchanged XI for the Bianconeri.

Javier Mascherano, who picked up a calf problem in the first leg and missed the match against Real Sociedad on Saturday, starts on the Barcelona bench tonight. Jordi Alba meanwhile comes back into the team.
Neymar was instrumental in the fight back against Paris and starts tonight as expected. It is the last we will see of him this week however having ruled himself out of Sunday's El Clasico thanks to a moment of stupidity that saw him handed a retrospective three-match ban. He can make it up to his teammate's tonight.

Team news: Juventus
On a night where Lionel Messi floundered, the man many tip as the heir to his thrown ran riot. Paulo Dybala tormented Barcelona in Turin last week, scoring twice before Giorgio Chiellini wrapped up proceedings with his side's third.
There was a moment of panic however on the weekend when Dybala came off during the 2-0 win over Pescara on Saturday following a heavy tackle from Sulley Muntari. Reports the following morning however suggested were not majorly concerned over the fitness of their forward, suggesting the Argentine will be fit to start tonight.

Team news: Barcelona
There is the small matter of El Clasico looming for Luis Enrique's side tonight. By this time Sunday night, Barcelona's Champions League and La Liga hopes could be over. It's going to be an intense few days for the Barca squad.
Barcelona 18-man squad to face Juventus
Ter Stegen, Piqué, Rakitic, Sergio, Denis, A. Iniesta, Suárez, Messi, Neymar Jr, Cillessen, Mascherano, Paco Alcácer, Jordi Alba, Digne, Sergi Roberto, André Gomes, Umtiti and Aleñá.
Not again, surely? You may have heard the story of Barcelona making Champions League history against Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month; overturning a 4-0 first-leg deficit to reach the quarter-finals for the 10th successive season.
Luis Enrique has talked up the frenzied atmosphere he hopes can facilitate another "crazy night" tonight after Paulo Dybala put his side to the sword last week, but there are a couple of important things to remember.
1) Juventus are a bit better at all this defending business.
2) Juve have lost by three clear goals just once since January 2011.
3) Juventus have revenge on their mind after their 2015 final defeat.
We are either in store for a European masterclass in controlling a game to hold onto a lead tonight. Or something a bit more mental.
Stick around, all the team news from the Nou Camp and from our other tie in Monaco vs Borussia Dortmund is coming up.
