    Another free kick for Barcelona from outside the penalty area. Messi lines it up......

  2. What a misspublished at 20:37 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2014

    Celta Vigo almost wrap up victory and they should have done. Nolito's volley can only be palmed into the path of striker Charles by goalkeeper Claudio Bravo. But, with an empty net in front of him, the substitute stretches and heads over.

    Coffee mad:, external I have to say #messi has to be one of the most over-rated players, he has played in an era of non contact defending.

    Wow, that is a brave shout.....

    Maybe it isn't going to be Barcelona's night. Messi lashes the free kick horribly over. You don't expect that from him.

    Luis Suarez plays a one-tow with Neymar before going tumbling inside the penalty area under Sergi Gomez's challenge.

    The officials gives a free kick just outside the area, although Gomez looks to have won the ball.

    Chance though from 18 yards for Barca......

    Luis Suarez! No.

    The former Liverpool man is standing six yards out with the goal at his mercy but somehow he heads Pedro's cross straight at goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez.

    You don't get better chances than that to score on your home debut at the Nou Camp.

    Coming up to the last 20 minutes and Celta Vigo are still holding firm. To be fair, they have looked less troubled this half so far.....

  8. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:25 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2014

    Double change for Barcelona as they go four up top.

    Pedro joins Suarez, Messi and Neymar in attack as he replaces Rafinha.

    Playmaker Xavi is also on, with Sergio Busquets making way.

  9. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:23 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2014

    He obviously was as he almost levels for Barca.

    Messi picks the ball up inside Celta's penalty area, wriggles his way past a couple of defenders, before side footing a shot that is saved by the legs of goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez.

    You can have all the attacking talent in the world but if you can't defend you are always going to struggle. Barcelona have shown that this evening, but you still have to fancy one of their stars to pull them out of a hole.

    You listening Lionel........

    Andy:, external Great interlinkage by the front two for Celta Vigo.

    Some Body:, external Good to see #Barca's defending is just as calamitous as #Liverpool's! Now if only Real could do likewise on Tue..

    Now you are dreaming.....

    What a goal. Nolito's sublime back heel puts Joaquin Larrivey in on goal and he makes no mistake with a calm finish into the net. You can hear a pin drop at the Nou Camp.

    Lionel Messi slides Luis Suarez down the right channel but the Uruguayan hesitates and the chance is lost.

    You get the feeling Celta Vigo are going to have to do a lot of defending this half but can Barca find the breakthrough?

    If they don't, with Messi, Suarez and Neymar leading the attack, they can only have themselves to blame.

  15. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:06 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2014

    With all the talk about Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, Neymar's contribution to Barcelona so far this season is in danger of being overlooked.

    The Brazilian is top scorer with 11 goals in 11 games but he should be celebrating another.

    Jordi Alba's pull back finds Neymar unmarked six yards out but he has his head in his hands as he strikes against the bar. He has to do better.

  16. KICK-OFFpublished at 20:03 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2014

    Celta Vigo start the second half as they look to continue to frustrate their hosts.

  17. Postpublished at 20:02 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2014

    So what do you reckon then? Lionel Messi breaking the La Liga goal-scoring record with two goals? Luis Suarez to break his Barca duck? Celta Vigo to upset the odds?

    Plenty of things to keep an eye out for in the second half. Teams are out again, this could be a blast.

    Stats

    Things have been pretty one-sided at the Nou Camp but the most important stat - the goals column - is still level. Barca boss Luis Enrique will be wondering when he changes things against his former club.

    Spanish La Liga

    La Liga

    As it stands, Barcelona won't return to the top of La Liga with a draw against Celta Vigo after Real Madrid's 4-0 win over Granada earlier today.

    Champions Atletico Madrid also kept up the pressure with a 4-2 win over Cordoba, with fourth-placed Sevilla having the chance to return to the top tomorrow.

    La Liga is deliciously close.

    Dec:, external I'd have a pure goal-getter in my side. Someone in the Romario/Grant Holt mould.

    Brent the Cynic:, external Marco Van Basten for me. My childhood football hero got 218 in 280 games, not the best strike rate but some pearlers in there.

    With Lionel Messi just two goals away from becoming La Liga's all-time top scorer, we are asking what striker from past or present would you want in your side? Let us know via #bbceurofooty.
