This is a good time to get a drink as I expect the second half to be quite intense again. Alternatively quickly check out our League Cup live text to see what shocks are on the cards.

Barcelona had 66% of possession in that first half. They had eight shots to Sevilla's four and five on target to their opponents' two.

Andres Iniesta plays in Luis Suarez, but keeper Beto gets there just before the Uruguayan can make it 4-1.
And that's half-time. Barcelona in control.
GOAL - Barcelona 3-1 Sevilla - Rafinhapublished at 44 mins
Image source, Getty ImagesLuis Suarez should make it 3-1, he's in one-on-one but shoots straight at keeper Beto. He gets the ball back though, holds off midfielder Michael Krohn-Dehli and plays the ball to Rafinha, who slides home from close range under pressure from Coke.

Sevilla ending this half quite well, I start to write, but then...

Sevilla almost equalise as Kevin Gameiro plays the ball to Vicente Iborra but Dani Alves is there to hack it off the line. It was almost an open goal.

Sevilla have their first attack in a while but Gerard Pique punts it clear when Kevin Gameiro is in a shooting position. It was a proper hoof - good to see.

It's all Barcelona, most of it going through Lionel Messi. Dani Alves crosses to Luis Suarez, who - instead of shooting - lays it off to Messi. The two-goal hero tries to play the ball back to the Uruguayan but it's cleared.
Sevilla not getting a look-in at the moment.

New Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta almost makes it 3-1 but his shot is blocked by defender Grzegorz Krychowiak. Lionel Messi was waiting to pounce if the threat wasn't cleared.

Another Sevilla old boy has a go from about 25 yards - this time it's Ivan Rakitic but it's always curling wide.
Barcelona in total control at the moment here, Sevilla need to be careful to not let the game go beyond them before the break.

Right-back Dani Alves, once of Sevilla, has a go from distance that catches nearly everyone, including me, by surprise but luckily for Sevilla, keeper Beto was alert and it's straight at him really.

Image source, APThe last three players to score two free-kicks in a Champions League or Europa League game?
Luis Suarez (in his Liverpool days), Gareth Bale (when he was at Spurs) and Cristiano Ronaldo for Real Madrid.
Not a bad bunch of players.
