    Has Coutinho touched the ball yet?

    Lionel Messi

    He really is the greatest.

    It's Lionel Messi's second and it's an absolute beaut. He has a free-kick and just rolls it along the ground - with the wall jumping over it - and past Bono into the back of the net.

    Lionel Messi

    This guy.

    Ivan Rakitic plays a long ball to Luis Suarez, who lays it off to Lionel Messi. The Argentine takes on one defender, then another, then another. Anyone else and you'd think the chance was gone. But after taking on the third player, he smashes the ball past Bono, who gets a touch and should maybe have done better.

    Girona keeper Bono is down getting treatment after colliding with one of his own defenders when catching an Ousmane Dembele cross. But he can continue.

    John McEnerney: Girona won’t hold back, they’ll be going for their second big scalp of the season after doing Real at home earlier this season. Good opportunity for Barcelona to work on their counter attack which was lacking midweek against Chelsea

    Ousmane Dembele takes a cross on his chest and then fires it well over. It's been years since a goal.

    Barcelona 1-1 Girona

    A brilliant goalline clearance denies Lionel Messi. Luis Suarez finds the Argentine, who chips the ball over Bono but defender Bernardo Espinosa, a summer signing from Middlesbrough, heads it over the bar.

    The game has calmed down a bit - it had to really. Girona in no rush to take a throw-in. They eventually take it and Nelson Semedo fouls Anthony Lozano.
