  1. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:50

    Barcelona scored 180 goals in 2015. But they start 2016 with a goalless derby draw.

    Atletico Madrid will go top if they beat Levante at 19:30 GMT.

    Next up for Barca is another game against Espanyol - in the Copa del Rey - on Wednesday.

    An Espanyol player is down with cramp. Almost full-time.

  3. Postpublished at 90+2 mins

    Espanyol waste a great chance here in injury time as a ball into the box is overhit with two strikers in there waiting to turn it home for a famous winner.

  4. INJURY TIMEpublished at 90 mins

    Two more minutes for Barcelona to try to find a winner.

  5. Postpublished at 89 mins

    We're almost in injury time now and Lionel Messi curls a free-kick high and wide from about 25 yards out.

  6. Postpublished at 88 mins

    Barcelona's defence and keeper fail to deal with a ball in the box but Marco Asensio fails to make proper contact with an ambitious effort as the ball dropped from the sky.

  7. YELLOW CARDpublished at 87 mins

    Barcelona striker Neymar is booked for fouling Pape Diop.

  8. Postpublished at 86 mins

    Barca striker Luis Suarez shoves Alvaro to the ground. The Espanyol defender is in no rush to get back up.

  9. Postpublished at 85 mins

    Espanyol are looking fairly comfortable. (Apologies in advance if I jinx it)

  10. Postpublished at 81 mins

    Ball lands to Espanyol striker Felipe Caicedo but he needs a million touches around the edge of the box and loses the ball. A waste. 

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 80 mins

    Espanyol make their second change in midfield - Joan Jordan comes off and Abraham - once of Barcelona - replaces him.

  12. Postpublished at 79 mins

    The ball almost breaks to Manchester City legend Felipe Caicedo up front for Espanyol but two Barcelona players squeeze the ball off him like a juicer taking on an orange.

  13. Postpublished at 77 mins

    Neymar tries a spectacular scissor-kick from Jordi Alba's cross but it's straight at the keeper. A more sensible effort might have resulted in a better end product.

    Time is running out now.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 72 mins

    Barcelona boss Luis Enrique makes a change in midfield, Ivan Rakitic comes off for youngster Sergi Roberto, who might add a bit of speed to the mix.

  15. Postpublished at 70 mins

    Espanyol break and have a chance to get a shot away but two of their players seem to get in each other's way in the box and the opportunity is gone.

  16. Postpublished at 65 mins

    It's taken Barcelona this long to have a shot on target, although Lionel Messi's shot from 20 yards is easily held by Pau Lopez. It was good play by Neymar to find his Argentine team-mate.

  17. Postpublished at 64 mins

    If Barcelona do fail to win this game, it will give Atletico Madrid the chance to go top when they face Levante at 19:30 GMT.

  18. Postpublished at 62 mins

    A real waste for Espanyol. They break at speed and Marco Asensio, on loan from Real Madrid, gets into the box but dawdles before playing the ball straight to a Barca defender.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 61 mins

    Espanyol make an attacking change as Gerard Moreno replaces Burgui where he might go up front with Felipe Caicedo.

  20. Postpublished at 59 mins

    Decent spell of possession for Espanyol who win a corner which almost lands to one of their attackers in the box. Barcelona just about clear it.

    The hosts really are still in this game.
