00:00Canfica still have a chance of a top eight finish in the Champions League
00:08league phase but they have work to do two wins will likely be necessary
00:13Barcelona up in second Barcelona already know that they will be in the
00:18playoffs at least and Fika they're chasing a top like top eight finish as
00:24well
00:30is struggling to get across to that
00:32Carreras with the ball and what a sense
00:34Fika has scored on the record
00:38fired in by Pavlidis
00:42that's an unreal start for the Eagles of Lisbon their first attack of the game
00:48Alvaro Carreras with the freedom of the left-hand side
00:52arm in the air play it my way that's the way it came and look at the runners in the middle
00:58left alone by Schilderup he got the call from Pavlidis who did the rest it's 1-0
01:04Benfica
01:06that's what Barcelona will do
01:08Baldei pulled back by Rafinha for Lewandowski
01:14Baldei goes down it's going to be a corner challenged by Thomas Araujo
01:18Thomas Araujo was it a step on the foot yes it was seeing a lot of those in
01:24every game that we watch at the moment and they're always painful yeah they are
01:28now should it have been anything more than a corner I'm sure it'll be looked at
01:34nothing more to see oh no there is he is being asked goodness me I thought he'd set himself for the corner himself the referee but now he's been given the
01:42the flag from VAR to go and have a look for himself so Rob Deepering thinks it should be a penalty
01:48what is Danny McKaylee going to make of it now
01:50I didn't think there was enough in this I'm going to watch it again you can see
01:54he quite clearly knocks the ball around doesn't he and he does connect with his foot
01:58he's going to give this guy maybe should have done first time around
02:00maybe should have done first time around because he was in a good position
02:04he's not needing much of a look there we go a penalty for Barcelona a way back into the game
02:10I think it is right I think he does well he just takes it away from the defender there and it is that that stamp on the foot
02:18the perfect man to take the penalty for Barcelona and it's more or less the perfect penalty Benfica won Barcelona won
02:28Barcelona won and we're only 13 minutes in he's just so calm isn't he Lewandowski that little stutter
02:36sees where the goalkeeper is going to go and then he just slots it home brilliant penalty from him
02:45Lewandowski trying to lay it off and it has broken here good save from Trubin to deny Gabi
02:52this might get them excited again where's Szczesny going oh it's a real mix up Pavlidis with an open goal
03:04Benfica had their lead back
03:08Vangelis Pavlidis had the double tonight a misjudgment from Wojciech Szczesny and he's feeling the pain of it
03:16such a mistake you know he doesn't need to do that the defender's there the defender can cover
03:22he's made the decision to come out you've got to clear it you've got to get to the ball if that's the case
03:28he's not going to mind though is he
03:30that's Carreras finding Kirkchew it gets it into Ausnes Ausnes outside of the boot great ball
03:38Chesney out oh is that going to be another penalty it is one for Benfica this time Chesney was late
03:45I think it's the right decision guy I think it's a penalty yeah again this the ball out from the back
03:50good pressure from Benfica but look at the spaces that Barcelona are leaving lovely ball and you can see just touches the ball over the top
03:57over the top a Chesney a little dink over the top of him comes out catches him penalty for me
04:05yeah actor Curlew is there first nobody was getting the ball from him here
04:11Vangelis Pavlidis 3-1 Benfica and he's got himself a head-trick Benfica fans absolutely delirious here
04:23didn't even look where the goalkeeper was wasn't in the corner Chesney goes the opposite way slots
04:31it home brilliant for Babli there's what a night for him
04:41Pedri lines up the shot and it's nicely saved by Trubin and you make sure it doesn't spin away
04:47yeah just opened up nicely for Pedri but yeah lots of possession for Barcelona you can see both the
04:55wide men are tucking in and it's the full backs that are trying to give them the whip but great opportunity for Benfica to counter there
05:03oh what's happened goodness me Barcelona have got a goal out of nowhere
05:11Anatoly Trubin
05:13that's another huge mistake isn't it
05:17oh wow
05:19it's Rafinha's goal
05:21how much does he know about this nothing
05:23that's the weirdest goal I've ever seen scored in the Champions League
05:27yeah and me
05:29and to Thomas Araujo it's a really good ball in Pavlidis wasn't far from it
05:35shield her up
05:37and it's in
05:39Ronald Araujo has put the ball into his own net
05:43Carreras
05:45Pedri for Barcelona
05:47into the feet of Ferran Torres
05:49La Mignamal goes down
05:51and the ref gives a penalty
05:55he's also giving a yellow card to Otamendi
05:57this is not over yet
05:59Barca's second penalty of the night
06:07and it wasn't in doubt
06:09the only thing that is now
06:11is Benfica holding on to get the three points
06:13it is 4-3
06:15he's just
06:19a bit of room here
06:21for Fermin
06:23he just got a yard away from Alexander Barr
06:25who was indebted to the help of Thomas Araujo
06:27Barca in a hurry
06:29Pedri
06:31shifts it
06:33clips it in
06:34good ball
06:35and Barca a level
06:37you knew the chance would come
06:39absolutely buried
06:41Eric Garcia rising to head in
06:43picked out
06:45with the perfect cross into the box
06:47oh this is brilliant from Barcelona
06:49it's a short corner
06:51what a delivery
06:53this is just shifts it onto his right foot
06:55just changes that angle
06:57and he gets in between
06:59two defenders
07:01gets up so well
07:03past Terbin
07:05brilliant
07:11played in for Carreras
07:13across comes to Jong
07:15and he plays it back against Carreras
07:17and then caught him
07:19leg raised high to stop him getting up and running
07:21free kick Benfica
07:23look like the team that are going to have
07:25the last chance to win it if they want to
07:27always high line
07:29here we go Di Maria
07:30round the back
07:31Ottomendi can't get there
07:32this is Barr
07:33Barr's lift to the back
07:35Antonio Silva leaves it for Barrero
07:39comes down for Barrero as he fouled
07:41Benfica implore the referee to give a penalty
07:45but he's not going to
07:47and Barcelona clear
07:49where's the goalkeeper Trubin
07:50he's gone back to his line
07:52it's Rafinha
07:53and Rafinha
07:55has won it
07:56for Barcelona
07:58I do not believe it
08:01from 4-2 down
08:03to a 5-4 lead
08:05with what looks like being the last kick of the match
08:08this meanwhile
08:10is going to be checked
08:12VAR are going to have a look
08:15to see whether Benfica ought to have had a penalty
08:19Rafinha not hanging around to find out
08:22he had support
08:23he could have played it across
08:25but I think that's what Benfica were expecting
08:28so he catches Trubin
08:31and wrong foots the keeper
08:33to make it Benfica 4
08:35Barcelona 5
08:375
08:38he's the VAR
08:47he's already called
08:48his colleague Danny McKelly over to the screen once tonight
08:52this is enormous
08:53and it's not going to come to anything
08:56there will be no Benfica penalty
08:59there will be no chance for them to win the game 5-4
09:02because it's Barcelona who've done that
09:05no instead it's the Benfica bench
09:12the 4th official has called him over
09:15and somebody Omer's got a red card
09:17it's not Bruno Large
09:20he took himself away
09:22hands in prayer
09:23yellow cards all over now
09:28Benfica's night
09:30Benfica's night
09:32Thermin Lopez getting a booking for getting himself too involved as well
09:36that's kind of academic
09:37and that is it
09:39after 8 minutes of added time
09:42a wild, wacky, wonderful night in rain-soaked Lisbon
09:48and Barcelona somehow have made it 6 wins in a row in the Champions League
09:54to make sure of a place
09:56in the last 8
09:57in the top 8
09:59to take them through to the last 16
10:01Benfica had the game won
