    Espanyol youngster Pol Lozano is booked for a tackle on Gerard Pique. That was a studs-on-shin tackle. I've seen players sent off for that...

    WOW! Ansu Fati lasts less than five minutes. He is sent off for that dangerous studs-up tackle on Fernando Calero after the referee looks at his screen.

    Barcelona almost look like they're playing a front four now. Like me on Football Manager when I need to score.

    The second half begins. Barcelona HAVE to win. So do Espanyol.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 22:04 British Summer Time 8 July 2020

    Barcelona 0-0 Espanyol

    Barcelona bring on teenage sensation Ansu Fati. Nelson Semedo is replaced so Sergi Roberto drops to right-back.

    While a draw at the Nou Camp would be good going for Espanyol, they will be relegated unless they win tonight.

    As things stand Barcelona will be three points behind Real Madrid, who would have a game in hand.

    Barca's head-to-head record with Real means they need to finish above Madrid on points.

    Barcelona are penned in at the moment as Espanyol put the pressure on. Not how I expected this half to end.
