    So, a humiliating night for Gary Neville. The bad news is his side have to face Barcelona again in the return leg next Wednesday. Hopefully they will give the European champions a better game. Thanks for your company. Until next time...

    Barcelona 5-0 Valencia

    They're chanting Luis Enrique's name around the Nou Camp. Barca have been a joy to watch even though they have been playing against 10 men for half the tie.

    Exhibition stuff from Barca. We're into the last 10 minutes. Time for another goal or two from the hosts?

    There's a second leg to come at the Mestalla next week. What's the point? Barca are surely through to their sixth final in eight attempts.

    Barcelona 5-0 Valencia

    Terrible defending by Valencia as they fail to clear the ball inside their own area, Messi wins it back and fires past the keeper who should have saved. It's another hat-trick for Lionel Messi. He could end this match with four or five goals at this rate.

    Cheryshev has the ball in the back of the Barca net...but it's disallowed for offside. Valencia's night cannot get any worse.

    Barcelona 4-0 Valencia

    Moments before Messi's second goal, Valencia sent on new loan signing Denis Cheryshev from Real Madrid. You can guess the 'welcome' the Russian winger received from the home fans after his inclusion led to Real being eliminated from the competition in December.

    So, who will be first to get their hat-trick? Messi or Suarez?
