Must do better. The teams are out.

Neymar will be cutting a very frustrated figure on the substitutes bench.
The Brazilian hasn't scored since February but will see this as the perfect chance to break his drought.
Will get get the opportunity?

Don't forget Barcelona have a mouth-watering Champions League quarter-final against Paris St-Germain in France on Wednesday.
Boss Luis Enrique won't want this to become anything but a standard win.

YELLOW CARDpublished at 19:45 British Summer Time 8 April 2015
Javier Mascherano is cautioned for hacking down former West Brom loanee Thievy Bifouma.
The referee pulls out a red card at first but then pulls out a yellow and waves it around. Just for a minute you wondered what he was doing.

Aminu Yakubu:, external Why is Messi playing on the right though? Plus he looks jaded so far.
You'd still take a jaded Leo though wouldn't you?

How many times Luis Suarez? The striker continues to get into acres of space but continues to fluff his lines.
This time, he looks to take on a defender just yards from the goal and his touch lets him down. Just shoot from there Luis...

A rare chance for Almeria though as Javier Espinosa attacks a cross from the right but his connection is weak as he bundles the ball straight at goalkeeper Claudio Bravo with his body.

That is a first though - Lionel Messi spoons a cross over the bar. That was more Sunday League than Champions League.

Image source, AFPPick that out. It has taken 33 minutes but a moment of brilliance from Lionel Messi gives Barcelona the lead.
The Argentine advances down the right, cuts inside Edgar Mendez and curls the ball from the edge of the penalty area into the far corner. His 33rd league goal.

Charlie Adam eat your heart out. Almeria's Ximo Navarro attempts to score from 70 yards but his lump forward bounces a couple of times before goalkeeper Claudio Bravo collects. That wasn't close at all.

Big things are expected from Arsenal's 22-year-old Wellington. The Brazilian midfielder signed from the Gunners in 2011 from Fluminense and has played 16 games on loan at Almeria this season.
His pace could just cause Barcelona problems...

A few frustrated groans from the home fans. They aren't the most patient.

All credit to struggling Almeria. Twenty minutes in and Barcelona are still frustrated.
A huge thumbs up from boss Sergi.
They have gone closest to scoring as well, through Arsenal youngster Wellington.
