Say what you really feel Guillem!

Back under way and no changes for Barcelona.

Lionel Messi stays on the bench for now but he is going through his warm ups.

Zero fouls committed in the first half by Barcelona. On the one hand, not fouling someone is a good thing but on the other it perhaps highlights a lack of desire to get stuck in from the visitors.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic surpassed 500 goals scored at club level by scoring twice as AC Milan moved back on top of Serie A with a 4-0 win over Crotone.

The Swedish striker, 39, reached the milestone with a shot into the top corner in the first half.

He then tapped in his 501st goal and his 14th in 11 league games this season.

Ante Rebic scored twice in as many minutes to complete the comfortable win against Serie A's bottom side.

Milan moved two points clear of city rivals Inter Milan at the top with 49 points from 21 games.

First time I've noticed that Real Betis do their game tweets in the style of a Gameboy. Old school.

Ronald Koeman scribbles down some notes as the whistle goes for half time.

Lots for the Barcelona boss to mull over but a very good first half from Real Betis.

No shots on target for Barcelona with half-time looming.

It hasn't worked at all this half for the visitors.

Barcelona attempt to respond immediately but Miralem Pjanic's shot is blocked inside the area before the whistle goes for an offside in the build up.

Any bets for when Ronald Koeman turns to Lionel Messi? I wouldn't be surprised if he's out on the pitch for the start of the second half.

The post-Lionel Messi Barcelona is going to be interesting to see. Without him on the pitch at the moment they are really struggling to create many opportunities from open play.

Suddenly there's a break on for Real Betis and they power forward four on three. Nabil Fekir plays the ball out to Juanmi and continues his run into the box but the return pass is too heavy and Marc-André ter Stegen collects.

This is Real Betis' attacking thirds graphic that clearly highlights their desire to attack down the left. They had several forays down there early on but haven't so much recently.

Sitter!

The corner is played short before the ball is driven into the box by Jordi Alba and Clément Lenglet rises surely to head in from six yards but he nods wide.

What a chance.

Aissa Mandi takes no chances under pressure from Martin Braithwaite and puts the ball behind to give Barcelona their first corner of the game.

Danger for Barcelona as good Real Betis move - with Nabil Fekir playing a key role - ends with Juanmi heading just wide.

Barcelona haven't lost in La Liga since 5 December, so it is a tough task that faces Real Betis. They are very much in this one and have had the more threatening moments in the first 20 minutes or so.

Barcelona are finding their attacking groove a bit more now as Óscar Mingueza whips a decent ball into the box but it just behind Martin Braithwaite.

Real Betis are really targeting that left flank as every time they embark on an attack they make their way down there. Alex Moreno has been a threat in these early stages for the hosts.

Ooh almost the perfect pass by Ousmane Dembélé as he weaves his way through a couple of Real Betis players before clipping the ball into the box but it is just ahead of Jordi Alba.

Frenkie de Jong comes on for Ronald Araujo and the substitute is straight into the action as he clears the delivery from the corner.
