Just under half-an-hour left in Munich. The official stats count tells us that Bayern have had 28 shots at goal to Darmstadt's four, and lead 13-0 on the corner count. Yet the visitors' mix-and-match side, put together with five players suspended, is holding on for now.

Oof, this is close. Las Palmas finish the half on top as Roque Mesa takes aim after a strong run, but it's wide of the post and that is the end of the half. 

Breathless stuff.

That was almost a reverse replay of the famous penalty, Luis Suarez clearly thinks he owes Lionel Messi but he should have pulled the trigger himself. At the other end, Las Palmas are building pressure and David Garcia's shot is blocked on the edge of the box. They need a response! 

Nervous moments for Darmstadt here. Robert Lewandowski goes to ground as he tangles with Junior Diaz inside the penalty area. The referee rejects the penalty appeals. Then Arjen Robben has a sight of goal as the ball is pulled back to him, but Luca Caldirola deflects it wide. Bayern have now had 24 shots at goal this afternoon.

Meantime, there's been a double change for Bayern; Franck Ribery is on for Kingsley Coman and, in an attacking move, winger Juan Bernat is on for centre-back Serdar Tacsi. Taxi for Tasci, if you like.

Barca should have three. A decent spell of possession leads to Luis Suarez bursting into the box on the left side this time, he can shoot but he opts to pass to Lionel Messi and his effort cannons off a defender. 

But can they get another? Tana is one on one with Jeremy Mathieu on the edge of the box but it's blocked. 

Las Palmas taking their time in possession a bit now. If they can get to half-time like this, they they'll be happy. 

Momo takes the free-kick for Las Palmas about 30 yards out, swings it deep and Aythami Artiles heads it goalwards with Claudio Bravo tipping over for a corner. Barca clear that despite a few penalty appeals which the referee waves away. 

Las Palmas are starting to lose the ball a bit more now but now they counter-attack as Momo bursts forward but he is chopped down Arda Turan. Yellow card, he knew exactly what he was doing there.

Dani Alves and Luis Suarez combine again as the full-back flicks the ball through to his Barca team-mate but Javi Varas is out of his goal to collect ahead of the Uruguayan. 

Dani Alves now making a foray down the right for Barca after taking a pass from Luis Suarez. Barca getting a decent spell of possession now and the locals are showing their disapproval. 

Lionel Messi takes it and delivers a lovely ball to the back post, where Luis Suarez is free but he heads wide from about six yards. For his standards, that was a terrible miss and he knows it. 

Barca love to play a high line in their defence, squeezing the play in midfield and it appears to be working now as Luis Enrique's team start to fins their feet. Neymar draws another foul deep in the Las Palmas half. Lionel Messi with the free-kick.

Barca's three-man midfield means that there are plenty of holes, allowing them to advance on the visitors defence with some ease. Interesting viewing for the Arsenal scout, if he's in the crowd.  

Geoff Birchenall: De Gea, Godin, Pique, Alba, Dani Alves, Mahrez, Iniesta, Musa, Suarez, Messi, Dzyuba.

Mark Davies: Neuer; Alaba, Chiellini, Bonucci, Alves; Neymar, Iniesta, Rakitic, Messi; Ronaldo, Suarez. Centre-backs are very reliable - not risk takers.

Abdullahi Abdulrahim: De Gea, Alaba, Ramos, Smalling, Lahm, Pogba, Iniesta, Schweinsteiger, Muller, Benzema, Ronaldo. In a 4-3-3 system.

Neymar receives the ball deep in the Las Palmas half, draws a foul but Roque Mesa is not happy. He's over to give Neymar a few choice words as the Barca player lies on the ground. This game's got an edge, that's for sure.

Las Palmas are keeping this game moving along by spreading the play quickly. They apply more pressure on the Barca backline and the visitors will need more help from their midfield.
