A rare Celta attack as Iago Aspas loses his footing when he is in a good position and his pass isn't great.

Barca break and Nemanja Radoja is booked for fouling Neymar to stop the attack. Took one for the team.

The actions of a complete dumbo by Celta Vigo defender Gustavo Cabral, who brings down a Barca player who tries to turn him on the edge of the box. Booking.

Lionel Messi curls the free-kick over. 

Another slick Barca attack as Rafinha is found in acres of space out right. If it had landed to one of the front three, you'd have fancied them to score, but the Brazilian cuts in and shoots straight at Celta keeper Sergio Alvarez.

Ayo Obit:  Another weekend, another Lionel Messi Magic!! AMAZING!

Ivan Rakitic finds Luis Suarez, who backheels it to Neymar. Celta defend well though to stop him getting a shot in.

Lionel Messi now has a shot blocked for a corner.

It's been a while since I've seen Barca play as well as this. Although they are only 1-0 up...

This is real Grade A attacking from Barcelona - reminiscent of their best work. Neymar makes a fool of a few defenders and it comes to Rafinha, whose shot is deflected out for a corner.

A pleasure to watch so far. Maybe in a weird way the pressure has been lifted by Luis Enrique's announcement that he won't be Barcelona boss next season.

Moments after scoring that goal, Lionel Messi gives the ball away needlessly. And a million TV commentators across the world say something like 'Lionel Messi is human after all'. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Barcelona want a penalty as Hugo Mallo slides in on Neymar. He wins the ball, but I think he made contact with Neymar's heel first... A bit lucky for Celta.

Celta Vigo should probably lead as Samuel Umtiti's dreadful clearance is straight at Facundo Roncaglia but the defender shoots wide from about 10 yards out.

First yellow card of the game is for Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets for a foul on Theo Bongonda.

Oh that is close (twice) for Barcelona. Luis Suarez runs at the Celta defence and his effort hits the post. The ball rebounds to Lionel Messi, who tries to beat the keeper at his near post. End result? The post again.  

Celta Vigo have one of their first attacks of the game but Marc-Andre ter Stegen is able to hold onto a cross from the right.

Almost a super goal from Barcelona. Lionel Messi finds Neymar, who goes for a dance before finding Messi again and his shot is saved by Celta keeper Sergio Alvarez.

Oh, and it's close again as Neymar tries to chip Alvarez from a tight angle but it goes across the goal and wide.

Martin Driver:  Surely the England job is up there!

Chris:  there is an expectation to win and win a very specific way. Only job that probably has as much expectation is England job

Kevin James Riley:  It might be knackering but at least they win trophies;managing England is the most sapping. All that hope...

Barca having most of the ball and Lionel Messi tries to unlock the Celta defence, narrowly failing.

See ya round says Neymar to a Celta Vigo defender and he flies down the left wing. His cross is cleared for a corner, which comes to nothing.

Good to see he's got rid of that bleached hair.

Not much to report so far from the Nou Camp - Barca having most of the ball, a couple of physical challenges.
