The final pass is just not coming off for Barcelona at the moment.

On comes the main man.

Lionel Messi on for Arturo Vidal.

An almighty roar inside the Nou Camp, "Messi, Messi" they chant. Can he change the game for Barcelona?

Here comes Messi...

Ousmane Dembele has been on the periphery of the game so far, but the Frenchman does has a crack from outside the area which is straight down the throat of goalkeeper Unai Simon.

Bilbao goalkeeper Unai Simon is a lucky, lucky boy.

He tries to pick out full-back Mikel Balenziaga but passes the ball straight to Luis Suarez.

The Uruguayan has space down the left-edge of the box, but cannot find a team-mate with his cross.

Bilbao holding on to their lead.

Here comes Sergio Busquets.

The Spain international enters the action for Sergi Roberto, who hobbles off with an injury.

Oscar De Marcos, doing the business at both ends for Athletic Bilbao.

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique spots the run of Philippe Coutinho and the Brazilian has the chance to shoot from 10 yards out, but across comes De Marcos with an inch-perfect challenge to save an almost certain equaliser.

Still no sign of Lionel Messi.

Away we go again.

Barcelona made 324 passes compared to Bilbao's 152 in the first half, but only the scoreline matters.

Boos ring out around the Nou Camp at the interval.

Barcelona looking to get back into the game immediately, but Philippe Coutinho's header from Luis Suarez's cross is weak and straight at goalkeeper Unai Simon.

Barca midfielder Ivan Rakitic has made 35 passes so far - more than any other player on the pitch.

Five minutes to half time.

Luis Suarez is buzzing around in the final third and wriggles his way into the box, but his thumping shot at the front post is kept out by Bilbao goalkeeper Unai Simon's left leg.

From the corner, Philippe Coutinho blazes a strike over the bar.

Neat build-up from Barca, as you would expect.

Ivan Rakitic and Luis Suarez playing a one-two, but the Croatian's low shot is drilled wide from outside the box.

Half an hour gone but both sides should have found the onion bag so far.

Barca should be ahead.

Chilean Arturo Vidal slips through a delightful pass, slicing the Bilbao defence open and on to Luis Suarez.

The Uruguayan has work to do with his back to goal but his spin and shot is straight at goalkeeper Unai Simon.

A blow for Athletic Bilbao early on.

Defender Inigo Martinez, who joined for £28m from Real Sociedad in January to replace Manchester City bound Aymeric Laporte, cannot continue after taking a knock.

He is replaced by Peru Nolaskoain.
