Luis Suarez thinks he's scored for Barcelona but it's called back for offside. Lionel Messi has a hand in the move with some brilliant footwork in midfield to lose his marker, the ball gets played out to Jeremy Mathieu on the left for Barcelona and his cross is tapped into an empty net at the far post by Suarez.

This is the first time in Lionel Messi's career that he's scored two free-kicks in a game. And there's still 65 minutes left for him to get his hat-trick.

Sevilla have a spell of possession and defender Benoit Tremoulinas is feeling confident so has a go from 30 yards but it's straight at a Barcelona player.

Lionel Messi plays the ball through to Rafinha, who has somehow found a pocket of space in the penalty area but his attempted pass to Luis Suarez is cut out by a Sevilla defender.

The move comes to an end when Andres Iniesta's ball into the box is past everyone and out for a goal-kick.

Sevilla break through Jose Antonio Reyes, who finds Benoit Tremoulinas, but his cross is deflected out for a corner by Gerard Pique's sliding tackle.

The corner is crossed right into Marc-Andre ter Stegen's hands.

Dare anybody put in a tackle now? 

Before kick-off we told you Lionel Messi had scored eight goals in his last five games against Sevilla. Make that 10 in six. 

And don't forget Sevilla are one of Spain's best teams.

Evar Banega fouls Ivan Rakitic and it's a free-kick in a dangerous position. Grzegorz Krychowiak is booked - he must have had a moan to the referee.

Game just seems to have calmed down now after that frantic start. Andres Iniesta comes forward and finds Ivan Rakitic.

It's about three minutes since anybody scored a free-kick. Nobody seems to dare putting in a tackle in a dangerous position at the moment.

It's almost 2-1 to Barcelona. Ivan Rakitic's deep cross from the right is just beyond Rafinha, playing in place of Neymar. The Brazilian dives for the ball but just can't turn it in.

It's taking so long to take that the referee has to reapply the white line.
