Athletic Bilbao bring on Carlos Gurpegui and Ibai Gomez for Sabin Merino and Mikel Rico - that's all their changes made now.
He’s taken 63, missing 14 in all competitions - so that's 22.22% of kicks he's missed.
It's almost a second from Barcelona as Sergi Roberto, from the corner of the penalty area, absolutely thumps a shot off the crossbar. Athletic almost out of the game there.
Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo puts Ivan Rakitic under a lot of pressure with a weak pass but the referee bails him out by giving a free-kick for a foul on the Croat. Not sure the Athletic striker did anything wrong there.
Think Chika might have sent this just as Luis Suarez's shot was hitting the back of the net.
Luis Suarez
Luis Suarezis starting the season for the first time in a few years and he has a goal on the opening day. Jordi Alba's fine left-wing cross is smashed home by Suarez with a first-time effort from close range.
We've just a text in from Anon: "Love you: xxx"
It might have been the wrong number, to the fair, my live text hasn't been *that* good.
Athletic Bilbao full-back Mikel Balenziaga has hurt himself stretching for a ball near the touchline. Eneko Boveda replaces him.
The second half begins.
Not for the first time in the past decade, Barcelona dominating possession.
No goals but a missed Lionel Messi penalty.
Athletic ending the half on the front foot. But Barcelona get it clear now. Seconds left.
Ridiculous waste - Athletic have two players offside from the free-kick and their chance is done.
Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic is booked for catching Sabin Merino with an arm.
That would have been a wonder-goal - Barcelona keeper Claudio Bravo catches a corner and rolls it out, Andres Iniesta picks out Lionel Messi with a long ball over the top and then the Argentine plays a similar pass to Luis Suarez but a defender blocks his effort out for a corner.
