    GOAL - Villarreal 1-4 Barcelonapublished at 69 mins

    Another excellent team goal!

    Barcelona must have possession for at least a minute by the time Sergi Roberto cuts the ball back for Lionel Messi to finish from 10 yards.

    Villarreal 1-3 Barcelona

    Good Barca move. Lionel Messi feeds Antoine Griezmann on the left, he picks out Arturo Vidal - but his shot is saved.

    Then Jordi Alba has a shooting position but fires straight at the keeper.

    Villarreal 1-3 Barcelona

    A bit of a waste from Luis Suarez. Arturo Vidal plays him in. Antoine Griezmann is in the centre screaming for it but instead Suarez tries to go round the keeper - far too wide - and slam it into the side-netting,

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 56 mins

    Barca's first proper attack since the restart. The front three are all involved. Antoine Griezmann chests it down to Lionel Messi, whose first-time hooked shot is easily saved.

  14. Postpublished at 52 mins
