Up the other end and Timo Werner drives into the Bayern box but his shot is cleared by a back-tracking Mats Hummels.

Leipzig aren't going down without a fight.

Bayern break through Robert Lewandowski but with Thomas Muller in space the Poland striker opts to shoot himself and Peter Gulacsi makes a simple save.

You can't blame him - he has scored 39 goals this season...

Leipzig are nearly caught napping by Bayern.

Kingsley Coman and David Alaba exchange passes on the left and the latter fires a low cross across goal which beats everyone.

What a chance that was.

Philippe Coutinho, recently back from injury (as in this evening), is played in by Arthur in the area but the ball runs away from him.

The ex-Liverpool man would love to silence the jeer brigade this evening with a goal.

Ernesto Valverde is down on his haunches - what is that a sign of?

Maybe he's just tired of standing all season.

However, nothing comes from the corner and the ball is back in the middle of the park.

Valencia have looked pretty solid at the back, and dangerous in attack.

Manuel Neuer, again, stands in Leipzig's way.

Emil Forsberg is sent clear with only Neuer to beat but the German makes himself big and tips the Leipzig forward's shot round the post.

Barcelona, no doubt a little rocked by that Valencia chance, go up the other end and win a corner.

Bayern are immediately on the front foot as Serge Gnabry finds Kingsley Coman in space.

Coman in turn finds Thiago on the edge of the area, but the Spaniard's shot is high and wide.

Barca's Clement Lenglet plays a brilliant pass...er... for Rodrigo, who is clean through with just keeper Jasper Cillessen to beat.

He takes the ball around the Dutch keeper and fires it towards goal, but that gives Gerard Pique enough time to clear his shot off the line. Just.

Remarkable passage of play!

Bayern get us back under way in Berlin.

They're 45 minutes away from a domestic double but Leipzig could yet spoil their party.

It's started at a pretty steady pace. Valencia are playing fairly deep, which is understandable.

We are under way here.

It's a sultry 31C inside the Betis' Estadio Benito Villamarin in Seville.

The players have greeted each other, the crowds are whistling for the whistle.

We are seconds away.

Valencia boss Marcelino García Toral has not won any of his 20 outings in all competitions facing FC Barcelona (W0-D6-L14), as coach of Recreativo Huelva, Racing Santander, Real Zaragoza, Villarreal and Valencia.

On Friday, there were some disturbances in host city Seville which needed the attention of the local constabulary.

"Last night in Sevilla, police detained 23 people (who now won't be able to go to the Copa del Rey final) and seized blunt objects during incidents in the Nervion area," police tweeted.

Just do not mention "that Anfield team" to Lionel Messi or he'll go off on one.

On Friday, after four years of not attending a news conference, the Argentine maestro did.

The topic of the Champions League semi-final second leg cropped up - unsurprisingly - and all that pent-up disappointment came out.

He said: "We have to apologise for the second half of the match at Liverpool [when they conceded three goals in the 4-3 aggregate loss] not because of the result, but because of how it looked and that we didn't compete. It was one of the worst experiences in my career."

Winning the Copa should provide some consolation for the lad. Maybe.

And he also did win the European Golden Shoe on Friday.
