    Eibar 0-1 Barcelona

    Fabian Orellana wants a penalty - but he's basically just run into Samuel Umtiti. Eibar should have had a spot-kick earlier, but this time it was never a pen.

    John McEnerney: Philippe Coutinho will come on for Iniesta either at half-time or on the hour, he’s the one that makes Barcelona tick. Barca will want this put to bed before the 70-minute mark so they can save a bit of juice for Tuesday. Easier said than done with Eibar on a roll, looking for Euro ball next season

    Eibar 0-1 Barcelona

    Eibar's heads will drop after that Barca goal, yeah? Yeah? No.

    Fabian Orellana just cracks a shot off the top of the crossbar from 25 yards out. They were almost level immediately.

    Barcelona lead, entirely against the run of play. And it's an excellent goal. Lionel Messi gets the ball on the halfway line and almost immediately plays a glorious through ball to Luis Suarez that tears Eibar's defence apart.

    Suarez takes a touch around keeper Marko Dmitrovic, who commits and is left on the ground, and can just tuck the ball home into an empty net.

    Wolfsburg 1-0 Bayern Munich

    German Bundesliga

    A warning for Wolfsburg...

    The last time they led 1-0 against Bayern Munich at half-time, Robert Lewandowski scored five goals in nine second-half minutes.

  7. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 15:27 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2018

    Eibar 0-0 Barcelona

    Eibar should have a penalty as Sergio Busquets almost pulls the jersey off Kike Garcia from a corner. But the referee says no.

    Eibar 0-0 Barcelona

    This is Jose Luis Mendilibar's 100th La Liga game in charge of Eibar - he has a 36.3% win rate.

    Eibar 0-0 Barcelona

    It's nearly all Eibar now. Takashi Inui puts in a cross, which is poor and goes out for a goal-kick. Now he takes another cross, and wins the first corner of the game.

    Eibar 0-0 Barcelona

    Barcelona come forward but Eibar keeper Marko Dmitrovic does well to stop Luis Suarez. Eibar break and Fabian Orellana blazes a shot over the bar.

    Then moments later, Marc-Andre ter Stegen is forced into a save by Kike Garcia.

    Eibar 0-0 Barcelona

    Bright start for Eibar, with a cross forcing Marc-Andre ter Stegen into action. Barca left-back Jordi Alba gets a knock to the knee, but he's able to continue.

    Ernesto Valverde will hope his decision not to rest players for the Chelsea game will not backfire.
