    GOAL - PSG 2-1 Toulousepublished at 20:39 British Summer Time 20 August 2017

    Adrien Rabiot (36 mins)

    This time Adrien Rabiot does get on the scoresheet. He plays a one-two with Neymar before striking a low angled effort past the reach of Alban Lafont.

    Barcelona 2-0 Real Betis

    Barca growing back again. The balance turning in their favour. Lionel Messi streams up the pitch, dragging the whole match with him. The move breaks down but then Betis give the ball away in midfield under pressure.

    Sergio Busquets finds Messi in space. Back to goal. A quick turn, onto his left foot, and a clean drive finds the outside of the post from range.

    Meessiii, Meessii, comes the cries from the stands.

    Neymar (32 mins)

    Finally. Neymar scores on his home debut.

    Having earlier gone close, the Brazil international tucks home after keeper Alban Lafont's parry from Adrien Rabiot's low drive falls into his path.

    Barcelona 2-0 Real Betis

    Lucky.... Jordi Alba takes down Matias Nahuel again, cynically dragging him back when the winger was arching into space.

    Free-kick says the ref, yes, but that could have been a second yellow...

    Someone will have to calm him down. Barca are two goals to the good!

  5. Neymar header hits the woodworkpublished at 20:30 British Summer Time 20 August 2017

    PSG 0-1 Toulouse

    Brazil full-back Dani Alves again finds compatriot Neymar with a cross, and this time the £200m player heads against Toulouse's far-right upright.

    Barcelona 2-0 Real Betis

    This is a good spell for Betis. Barca have actually dropped off a bit and there's space for them to knock the ball about.

    Sergio Leon is the target, but a long pass played in at the end of a patient move finds the striker in an offside position.

    It's still a long way back for the away side from here.

  7. YELLOW CARDpublished at 52 mins

    Barcelona 2-0 Real Betis

    Victor Camarasa's showed a few nice touches in the Betis midfield. Very efficient with his touch to make space to pass, always with his head up. Can't recall seeing him give the ball away.

    Jordi Alba jumps into a rash challenge on Matias Nahuel, it's really late, and gets himself a yellow card.

    Barcelona 2-0 Real Betis

    A rarity. Sergio Busquets' disguised pass is easily picked off in front of the Betis defence.

    Gerard Deulofeu has started the second half brightly. He got the assist for Barca's easy second, and it was his cross/shot that was turned in by Alin Tosca.

    Here he is in space on the right, with a stepover to work into space, but the cross is blocked.

  9. goal

    Max Gradel (19 mins)

    There's a goal at the Parc de Princes, but it's not who you think.

    Former Leeds midfielder Max Gradel, on loan from Bournemouth, scores a sublime low volley to give Toulouse a surprise lead.

    He's stolen Neymar's thunder.

    And we are back under way.

    There are 56.480 fans at Camp Nou tonight - well short of the 99,000 capacity.

  11. Neymar goes closepublished at 20:19 British Summer Time 20 August 2017

    PSG 0-0 Toulouse

    Neymar should have scored his first PSG goal at home in the 13th minute.

    The Brazilian is picked out by compatriot Dani Alves' square pass but fires over the bar from just 12 yards.

    The home side have been on top in these opening moments.

  13. KICK-OFFpublished at 20:06 British Summer Time 20 August 2017

    PSG 0-0 Toulouse

    We are under way at the Parc de Princes.

    Good luck to Toulouse trying to keep the front three of Neymar, Edinson Cavani and Angel Di Maria at bay.

    Prior to kick off there was a minute's silence for the victims of the Barcelona attack.

    The camera focused on former Barcelona player Neymar, who looked emotional during the moment.

    Barcelona 2-0 Real Betis

    Such impressive pace over five yards, Lionel Messi glides a pass into Sergi Roberto and zooms along to get the return, he shapes to shoot but the shot is blocked.

    Real Betis are hurting now.

    Now the home side slow it up, they're cruising into the dressing room. Or is there time for more?..

    My fingers are burning up. Barca really turned on the heat there.

    What could Real Betis do? Sergio Leon's chance to score will be a huge turning point...

    Sergi Roberto

    Barca are flying now - but it could have been so different.

    Betis counter quickly and Sergio Leon is free on goal, he's about to put his foot through it with just the keeper to beat, but Javier Mascherano comes sliding in at the last minute to boot the ball to safety.

    Down the other end, in record time, Gerard Deulofeu charms himself into space on the right, cuts back across goal, and there is Sergi Roberto, to finish the move all too easily, in far too much space, with a solid strike.

    Alin Tosca (own goal)

    Lionel Messi has space to run now, he's driving in on goal, there's four men scrambling back in total panic. He plays it out wide, to Gerard Deulofeu, who strikes towards goal.

    Messi is in the mix to tap it in, does he touch it?

    The replay says no - it's an Alin Tosca own goal that diverts the ball home, as Barca take the lead.

  20. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 35 mins

    Barcelona 0-0 Real Betis

    A Lionel Messi free-kick, central, about 25 yards out. A left foot curler, it's drifting deliciously towards goal.. Sound familiar?

    But no! It strikes against the post and out. Adan was soundly beaten too.
