    Barcelona win on everything, except fouls. But you're probably meant to get fewer fouls anyway.

    Barcelona win on the opening day, it wasn't massively convincing but it was revenge for their Super Cup defeat.

    Athletic defender Aymeric Laporte has a shot from 30 yards but it's straight at Claudio Bravo.

    Is that their last chance? Not that it was a chance really.

    Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta gets a knock but luckily he's able to play on. They've made their changes - and don't have much a squad to replace key men anyway.

    Barcelona bring off Rafinha for Sandro up front. I'd forgotten Rafinha was playing.

    Let-off for Barcelona as they fail to clear a cross and Ibai Gomez smashes his half-volley over. That could have been 1-1 - into the final 10 minutes now.

    Athletic's Javier Eraso is in on goal and wants a penalty following a tackle from Thomas Vermaelen but the referee calls it back for offside and avoids having to make that difficult decision.

    A reminder that Barcelona cannot play any new signings until January. Midfielders Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal, who can play at right-back, are not available to Luis Enrique until then.

    The transfer ban was for breaking rules in signing young players.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 66 mins

    Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets is down injured and he's going to have to be replaced. He was caught by Aritz Aduriz but it was an awkward landing.

    Defender Marc Bartra is the man to come on.

    That's two players lost to injury today for Barcelona, who don't have a big squad.
