    Sevilla 0-1 Barcelona

    That would have been a great goal. Barca's Sergino Dest gets the ball on the right, flicks the ball onto his left foot and hammers it just over the bar.

  3. YELLOW CARDpublished at 39 mins

    Sevilla 0-1 Barcelona

    A second Sevilla yellow card as Diego Carlos pulls down Lionel Messi, who was holding him off. Messi has gone down - he seems to be checking a tooth perhaps.

    Sevilla 0-1 Barcelona

    Barcelona are unbeaten in each of their last 31 La Liga matches in which they scored the opening goal (W28 D3), since a 3-1 defeat at Levante on 2 November 2019.

    Sevilla 0-1 Barcelona

    Lionel Messi picks out Frenkie de Jong, who goes past a defender but instead of shooting he goes past another defender. He's too wide by this stage and his cross is fumbled and then caught by Bono.

    Sevilla 0-1 Barcelona

    Barca keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen passes the ball straight to Papu Gomez but luckily the Sevilla player's pass/cross is poor and the keeper can scoop it up.

    Sevilla 0-1 Barcelona

    That is Ousmane Dembele's first La Liga away goal since 8 December 2018, in a 4-0 win at Espanyol.

    Sevilla 0-1 Barcelona

    Barcelona have had three shots, all on target. Sevilla haven't had an effort yet.

  9. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February 2021

    Sevilla's Fernando goes into the book.

    Clement Lenglet handled the ball earlier in that move but the goal is allowed to stand. He kicks it off his arms which seems to be allowed.

    GOAL - Sevilla 0-1 Barcelonapublished at 29 mins

    Ousmane Dembele

    Excellent goal and Barcelona lead.

    Lionel Messi gets the ball near halfway and slips a wonderful through ball into the path of Ousmane Dembele, who nips in between two defenders and slots through the keeper's legs.

    Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona

    Almost vintage Lionel Messi as he picks the ball up near the halfway line and absolutely glides past a few defenders before being tackled by Diego Carlos in the box.

    Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona

    Oooooooh. Lionel Messi takes a free-kick on the right wing, everyone is expecting a cross but Messi goes for goal instead. Luckily Bono is able to race across his goal and catch it on the line.

    Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona

    Now we finally have a bit of action at both ends.

    Sevilla have a first real attack but Papu Gomez's cross is caught by Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

    Barca counter and Ousmane Dembele's curling effort from the edge of the box is held by Bono.

    Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona

    Pretty physical start from Sevilla, 6-1 on fouls including one by Ivan Rakitic on his old team-mate Sergio Busquets.

    No shots by either side yet.

    Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona

    Lovely nutmeg by Sergino Dest on Fernando, who brings the Barca player down. A free-kick but Barca make a mess of it.

    Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona

    Good strength from Ousmane Dembele to win the ball off form Sevilla defender Jules Kounde and his cross is put behind by Fernando. Corner comes to nothing.

    They play the corner short and Lionel Messi's cross is over everyone.

    Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona

    A nice spell of possession for Barcelona. The centre-backs are playing in the centre circle at the moment - but little action in the final third.

    They do have a corner now as Fernando heads Sergino Dest's cross behind.

    Slick move by Barcelona as Lionel Messi feeds right wing-back Sergino Dest, who bursts into the box but has a cross blocked.
