Barcelona make a change at the back as Marc Bartra replaces Gerard Pique at centre-back.

A bit of controversy over that PSG goal. Layvin Kurzawa is standing a good yard offside as Javier Pastore's shot heads towards goal - to the point that it almost hits him. Vincent Enyeama protested to the officials, claiming that his attempt to dive towards the ball was effectively obstructed by Kurzawa. It doesn't get Enyeama anywhere, but it isn't difficult to see why he is a bit miffed.

Sporting Gijon make an attacking change as 20-year-old striker Antonio Sanabria, once of Barcelona B, comes on for Pablo Perez.

Free-kick. Lionel Messi. Over.

Neymar's confidence is really low. Lionel Messi finds the Brazilian in space and he again overthinks it with Ivan Cuellar able to save his shot. The Neymar of a couple of months ago might have had a hat-trick.

Dani Alves crosses in from the right, Luis Suarez and Neymar fail to get a touch and Jordi Alba's shot is blocked by a defender. Maybe with an arm, but there weren't strong appeals.

Lionel Messi has scored over 500 career goals and it feels like almost a half of them have been like this. Gets the ball on the right, jinks inside and then curls a shot towards the far post. This one goes wide though.

Luis Suarez chips a shot wide and Andres Iniesta lashes a shot over. It was like a rugby kick. The worst thing he's ever done.

We're five minutes into the second half, Sporting not doing too badly, but Lionel Messi almost doubles Barca's lead, flashing wide an effort from 20 yards.

Another chance for PSG. Angel di Maria breaks down the right and cuts inside; the ball runs through to Lucas Moura, who must score... but Lille centre-back Marko Basa throws himself in the way to make a magnificent block. Basa takes a bit of a bashing as Lucas follows in, but he is OK after treatment.

A lovely bit of skill from Zlatan Ibrahimovic almost gives PSG the breakthrough. Serge Aurier's long pass from the right-back position is controlled beautifully on the stretch by the striker, with Lille's defence floundering. Ibrahimovic cannot find the finish as the keeper advances, and lifts his shot over.

Lionel Messi has the ball in the net but the whistle had long gone as Luis Suarez collides with keeper Ivan Cuellar, enabling the ball to land to Messi.

We are under way in the second half now.

Barcelona make one change at half-time as Dani Alves - usually first choice - comes on for Sergi Roberto at right-back.

Approaching the half-hour mark in the Coupe de la Ligue final, and it's becoming a bit of a counter-attack fest. It's Angel di Maria on the break for PSG down the right, with time and space to pick out Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the far post. Inexplicably, Di Maria goes for goal, poking a tame shot straight at Vincent Enyeama. If you need me to tell you that Zlatan is unimpressed by this, you clearly don't know Zlatan.

Good spell of Lille pressure, this. Mounir Obbadi drives in a ball that causes consternation in the PSG defence, with centre-back Marquinhos turning it back towards his own goal, and Salvatore Sirigu getting down well to save, before the offside flag comes to the rescue of the French champions.

It's a better free-kick this time from Sofiane Boufal - really whipped in. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who does his fair share of defending at set-pieces, does well to glance behind for a corner, which PSG then deal with.
