Celta battle back to draw level
Barca five points above Valencia
Celta managed by ex-Barca assistant Unzue
Lionel Messi
That didn't last long. Paulinho plays a pass which may have been aimed for Luis Suarez. It goes past the Uruguayan, but there is Lionel Messi behind him to slam home Barcelona's equaliser.
Iago Aspas
Huge goal - only the sixth that Barca have conceded this season. The unbeaten leaders entirely switch off at the back, the offside trap goes wrong.
Iago Aspas squares it to Maxi Gomez, whose close-range shot is brilliantly saved by Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Unfortunately for him, the rebound goes to Aspas, who taps home from six yards.
Barcelona 0-0 Celta Vigo
Corner to Barcelona, but it's cleared. A follow-up cross is also cleared away.
Barcelona 0-0 Celta Vigo
Former Barca boss Frank Rijkaard is at the game in the stands, a lot greyer than he was when he coached the Catalans.
Barcelona 0-0 Celta Vigo
Not lots to report on the pitch at the moment. Celta Vigo are having a decent spell, and Barca keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen almost fumbles a cross before getting it under control.
Barcelona 0-0 Celta Vigo
Ivan Rakitic plays a great pass over the top, it's cut out but then ends up with Luis Suarez, whose shot from a wide angle is saved by Celta keeper Ruben Blanco at his near post.

Lionel Messi goes on a great run, with a cheeky nutmeg along the way, but then slips as he shoots and it's out for a corner which comes to nothing.
Barcelona 0-0 Celta Vigo
Sergi Gomez couldn't recover from that shoulder problem and defender Gustavo Cabral comes on.
Barcelona 0-0 Celta Vigo
Seconds into the game and Barcelona striker Luis Suarez is booked. A very harsh decision. He goes in for a physical challenge with Sergi Gomez, who has hurt his shoulder. But it didn't look like a foul to me.

Celta's manager is Juan Carlos Unzue, who was Barcelona's assistant boss for three years before leaving in the summer.
Barca boss Ernesto Valverde said: “Unzue is very studious and the fact that he knows the team so well makes him dangerous. When you play against Barca, you try different things. I know because I have been up against them a lot.
“With Unzue as coach, that means they have a very clear way of playing. They want to take the initiative in the game and they will want to do that at Camp Nou. I played with Unzue in 1988 and we have met a lot of times, he’s a great person and I wish him the best.”
Barcelona make nine changes from the second string who beat Real Murcia 5-0 in the Copa del Rey in midweek. Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets keep their places, with the usual crew like Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez returning. Paulinho starts.
Barcelona: Ter Stegen, Sergi Roberto, Pique, Umtiti, Alba, Rakitic, Paulinho, Busquets, Iniesta, Messi, Suarez.
Celta Vigo: Ruben, Wass, Sergi Gomez, Fontas, Mallo, Lobotka, Jozabed, Mendez, Aspas, Sisto, Maxi Gomez.
Barcelona, four points clear at the top of La Liga, are one of three teams still unbeaten in the league.
Valencia are still in the mix, with Atletico - having drawn nearly half their games - and Real Madrid eight points off top.
Today they meet Celta Vigo, who are ninth.
