83' MESSI SHOT DEFLECTED! Again Barca on the counter look dangerous and plays a neat one-two with Munir and his left-foot shot is deflected out for a corner
81' Well what Sampaoli was fearing has now become a reality! Sevilla in their quest fro an equaliser were caught on the break Messi found Munir through the middle and i a wonderful smart toe-poke finish should seal this win for Barca!
2-0!!!! BARCA !! Munir Scores!!
80' A poor free-kick from Messi and now Sevilla can attack but once again no way through this Barca defence which has improved significantly this half!
78' Sevilla probing and probing but can;t find a way through this Sevilla defence! Then Messi picks up the ball and runs with it on the counter and Vasquez elbows which earns him a yellow card

75' 15 minutes left for Sevilla to find an equalizer!
73' Getting a little feisty now as Digne and Sarabia have a small tussle!
70' N'zonzi receives a yellow for a rash foul on Suarez
69' Ganso the Brazilian playmaker has come on for Sevilla. The player was once considered a prodigy but his growth curve hasn't ben as expected
66' CONFUSION IN THE BARCA DEFENCE! A Sevilla player goes down in the box under Mascherano's challenge and the ball is cleared clumsily behind for a corner but it could easily found the net as an own goal! Referee waves away claims for a penalty!
65' SHOT FROM ROBERTO! Barca win the ball in midfield again and Messi finds Roberto who's powerful drive from a difficult angle on the right is saved well!
63' Barca have become a lot more composed after that first goal. Sevilla finding it very difficult to break the Catalans down and Barca's fluidity in passing ahs also improved
61' Vietto is coming off and Ben Yedder has come on in his place. The new signing from Toulouse!
58' Yellow card for Busquets! The midfielder's challenge from Behind on Vitolo learns him a booking!

That was a wonderful move from the Catalans! Denis Suarez plays a lob ball to Turan who makes a run behind the defence. Then Turan chests the ball off to Suarez as a layoff and the Uruguayan finishes with precision to give Barca the lead! Sublime move!
54' BARCA SCORE!!! 1-0!! SUAREZ!!
52' Messi has started dropping deeper in the second half to try and influence the play

48' Now it's a corner
47' Sevilla already have a free-kick!!
Sevilla get us underway again!!
Half Time Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona
HT: So as Half time looms Sevilla and Barcelona have had their chances but the Catalans have really looked shaky at the back. Sevilla have tie and time again gotten behind their defensive line but kind find the right ball to finish things off!
45' 3 minutes added on
45' Arda shot from distance weak and off target! Has been a very poor outing for him!
42' Sevilla off the hook! A stray pass from Adil Rami is pounced on by Suarez who finds Messi but as the Argentine tries to skip past the defender by playing it around him he just about loses it out and Sevilla have the ball back!
41' Once again Barca deal with it but just about it get it away thanks to Mascherano
40' Roberto with a challenge from behind on Escudero and Sevilla have a free-kick from a dangerous position!
BARCA ESCAPE AGAIN! Vitolo involved as he finds Vietto who plays in Vasques on the overlap and his shot is deflected for a corner. Once again Barca look susceptible as the corner comes and Bravo punches but not convinvingly
37' Messi almost unlocks the defence with a slide roll pass for Arda but a little to heavy and Rico reads it well!
35' Yes indeed Iniesta is coming off and Suarez will replace him Maybe it is a precautionary measure from Enrique after his earlier collision
34' It looks like Denis Suarez is preparing to come on! We are waiting to see or whom but it looks like it is Iniesta
34' Vitolo has been absolutely brilliant os far. Hard worker and very good with his feet as well
32' Adil Rami gets the first card fo the game. A yellow for a challenge on Suarez while Barcelona were trying to break
31' It's last ditch defending at times from Barca! Sevilla bypassing their backline and getting into the box time and time again!
30' This is a very worrying sign for Barca fans! Iniesta is down injured after a challenge from N'Zonzi!!
29' Arda Turan has been very ineffective so far on the left wing. Has not completed a single take on he has attempted. He is yet to completely settle in at the club
26' Jeremy Mathieu is down with an injury and Lucas Digne is probably coming on for the Frenchman
23' Sevilla have looked the more threatening but Barcelona have had the better chances. Both sides failing at to convert their chances so far. It is end to end stuff!
20' Dangerous play from Rico! Suarez closed him down and hurried the keeper into a misplaced pass that the striker almost capitalised on but Escudero bailed him out
18' Sevilla causing all sorts of problems for Barca. The Catalans are not able to build from the back
15' Sevilla overplaying it! Some neat pay between Vitolo and Mariano but they try one too many passes and it is eventually called offside
