Celta Vigo 1-1 Barcelona
Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti is booked for catching Brais Mendez.
Celta Vigo 1-1 Barcelona
I think they were checking if Lionel Messi was fouled but they've decided he wasn't.
Celta Vigo 1-1 Barcelona
They're having a little look at whether there was a penalty in there.
Celta Vigo 1-1 Barcelona
Barca straight back on the attack. Lionel Messi's cross is played back to him and his shot from a very tight angle is over the bar.
Fedor Smolov
Celta Vigo are level! Okay Yokuslu is played in through on goal but on the edge of the box, under pressure from Gerard Pique, he squares to the unmarked Fedor Smolov to slot home.
Excellent from Okay.
Celta Vigo 0-1 Barcelona
Nelson Semedo cuts in from the right but the Barca defender smashes his shot miles over the bar.
Celta Vigo 0-1 Barcelona
Good start to the half from Celta and it needs a very meaty Samuel Umtiti sliding tackle to stop Iago Aspas. Timed it perfectly. If he got it wrong that's a penalty.
Celta Vigo 0-1 Barcelona
The second half begins. No subs at half-time.
Celta Vigo 0-1 Barcelona
Players back out for the second half. Almost time to go.

Celta Vigo 0-1 Barcelona
Lionel Messi is the top scorer in La Liga this season - with 21 - and the top assister too, with 16.
As things stand Barcelona would go top of La Liga by three points. But Real Madrid would retake top spot if they beat Espanyol tomorrow.
The title is in Real Madrid's hands as head-to-head record is used instead of goal difference in La Liga - and they picked up four points from Barca this season.
There's been a huge goal in Belarus as Pavel Zabelin has just headed Neman Grodno into the lead in the west of Belarus derby against Dynamo Brest.
Pick that one out.
Celta Vigo 0-1 Barcelona
The half-time whistle goes and Barcelona are going top as things stand.
Celta Vigo 0-1 Barcelona
Lionel Messi almost scores from a corner but it's punched away by the keeper.
Celta Vigo 0-1 Barcelona
Barca look happy to pass the ball round until the break.
Celta Vigo 0-1 Barcelona
Two minutes added on.
Celta Vigo 0-1 Barcelona
Dreadfully selfish play by Iago Aspas. He's allowed to run free down the right - Gerard Pique comes over to put him under a bit of pressure. But in the centre screaming for the ball is Fedor Smolov. Aspas doesn't pass and eventually gets squeezed out by a Pique-Arturo Vidal double team. Smolov would have been in.
Celta Vigo 0-1 Barcelona
Classic Gerard Pique, strolling forward for no reason at all. Never change Ger.
Celta Vigo 0-1 Barcelona
Celta Vigo do well to clear a Barca attack and at the other end Marc-Andre ter Stegen runs about 40 yards off his line to clear before Iago Aspas can get on the end of the ball.
