  2. Yevhen Konoplyanka (a copy and paste job if I'm being honest) had a go straight away but it fails to test Barcelona keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

  3. SUBSTITUTION

    Sevilla bring on winger Yevhen Konoplyanka for his debut. The free transfer from Dnipro was a former Liverpool target. Jose Antonio Reyes is the man who comes off.

  4. Booooo. The free-kick is about 35 yards out but Barcelona don't have a shot. Instead they play the ball backwards and end up conceding a free-kick. Actually I'm not sure if I remember a shot from a free-kick that wasn't a goal.

  5. Luis Suarez goes down under a crunching tackle from behind by Grzegorz Krychowiak. The Barcelona striker looks annoyed, but then again that is often the case.

  6. SUBSTITUTION

    Barcelona aren't going to risk Andres Iniesta following his injury a couple of minutes ago - a good decision in my decision. The midfielder hands the captain's armband over to Lionel Messi and comes off for Sergi Roberto.

  8. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Corner to Barcelona as Ivan Rakitic plays a one-two with Lionel Messi but the Croat's effort is blocked by a Sevilla defender (maybe by his arm).

    And from the corner Rafinha heads the ball off the crossbar.

  9. Andres Iniesta is getting treatment behind one of the goals but he hobbles away from his staff - he's surely wanting to get back on the pitch. And that he does indeed - he's on again.

    A bit silly to take a risk though if he's not 100%.

  10. Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta is down injured. This will be a worry for Luis Enrique.

    GOAL - Barcelona 4-2 Sevilla - Jose Antonio Reyes

    Vitolo crosses the ball to Jose Antonio Reyes, who fires home first time from about eight yards out. 

    Game on?

  12. Sevilla haven't given up yet and debutant Michael Krohn-Dehli fires a shot wide from 25 yards. We'll see some subs from both sides soon surely?

  13. I had wondered earlier if we'd have extra time tonight. If we do, we've seen something special in Tbilisi!

  14. goal

    GOAL - Barcelona 4-1 Sevilla - Luis Suarez

    Horrific defending by Sevilla. Benoit Tremoulinas tries to play the ball across to Ever Banega but he gets it horribly wrong and it's straight at Sergio Busquets, who is able to slide the ball through to Luis Suarez and the Uruguayan slots it under Beto.

    We're on the verge of a rout here.

  15. Luis Suarez's shot from just outside the box is deflected, it loops up into the air and keeper Beto casually waits for it to drop into his hands under pressure from Rafinha.

    Barcelona will equal AC Milan's record of five Super Cup wins if they see this one through. 

    The Catalans' four defeats in this curtain-raiser is also a record.

  17. Luis SuarezAP

    Luis Suarez turns his defender from 25 yards with ease and half-volleys just wide of the post. Could be a long 45 minutes for Sevilla. 

  18. Free-kick to Barcelona as Michael Krohn-Dehli brings down Lionel Messi. Luckily for Sevilla it's not in a shooting position though. 

    Barca going forward already - a repeat of the first half.

  19. KICK-OFF

    Barcelona get the second half under way. No changes by either side.

  20. Players are coming out for the second half now. You ready? Is Lionel Messi going to get a third?
