The Atletico Madrid fans are making plenty of noise as we approach the hour mark. We've had no notable attempts at goal since the restart but the hosts will be just fine with that. There's no hint of a Barca comeback just yet.

Diego Simeone isn't one for sitting back and enjoying the match. His side look comfortable, but the Atletico boss continues to shout instructions at his players as if they were 2-0 down.

Yannick Carrasco gets to the byline but he's crowded off the ball by a couple of Barcelona defenders. He goes to ground but there are no appeals for a foul from the Belgian.

Lots of movement on the sidelines as both teams send players out to warm up.

Ansu Fati is among the options for Barca, while Atletico's Antoine Griezmann will be waiting for the opportunity to face his former club.

Barcelona apply some pressure and win a corner, but it's headed clear. Atletico still look very comfortable at the back.

"Koeman will continue as Barca coach. He has the benefit of the doubt regardless of today's result," were the words of president Joan Laporta.

Atletico are already suggesting they're going to try and test that statement in this second half.

Marcos Llorente tussles with Sergio Busquets as both players chase a ball in behind the Barcelona defence, but the Atletico forward is penalised for a foul as Busquets hits the deck.

A couple of half-time changes to report.

Kieran Trippier replaces Rodrigo De Paul for Atletico Madrid, while Sergi Roberto has come on for Barcelona in place of Nico Gonzalez.

Away we go again!

A goal and assist each for Thomas Lemar and Luis Suarez.

Along with Joao Felix, those three in particular have been excellent in attack for the champions.

Will they cause further havoc in the second half?

Plenty of possession, but no shots on target for Barcelona so far.

Lots for Ronald Koeman to think about.

A big, big blow for Barcelona just before half-time.

Memphis Depay whips in a free-kick but nobody can reach it - and that will be that for the first half.

It's a long way back for Ronald Koeman's men from here.

Barcelona are awarded a free-kick for handball on the right flank.

Memphis Depay will have the chance to send this into the box... but Jan Oblak charges out to catch.

Barcelona have had just under 70% of the possession so far, but they're beginning to look a little bit more threatening with it as we approach the interval. That final ball is just lacking, though, and Jan Oblak scoops up a loose pass.

Ronald Araujo gets across to beat Joao Felix to a ball forward. It'll be a first corner of the match for Atletico, but Barca have no trouble defending it.

A good spell for Barcelona as they chase an equaliser before half-time.

The visitors are moving the ball around nicely outside the box but Atletico are keeping their shape well and there are no gaps appearing just yet.

Apparently Ronald Koeman is looking absolutely furious in the stands as he communicates with his team on the phone. Pressure.

On the pitch, Memphis Depay darts into the box but Stefan Savic recovers to halt his progress.

And now it's Barcelona's turn again! Frenkie de Jong is inches away from connecting with Memphis Depay's knock-down.

Superb end-to-end football.

Luis Suarez! So close to 2-0.

This game has exploded into life. Suarez is behind the Barcelona defence, slightly to the left of goal but fails to pick out the far corner with his shot.
