Woooah, it almost goes in!

Ousmane Dembele swings in a vicious corner which Bono juggles in the rain, it's like a soap bar in his hands and he nearly drops it over his goalline before managing to take control.

Chances are flowing for Sevilla, they need to make the opportunities count.

It falls for Thomas Delaney again, but the Denmark international mis-times his jump and heads over.

Excellent play from Rafa Mir, slicing right through the heart of the Barca defence.

Mir tries to outstrip Gerard Pique but the veteran defender keeps pace and manages to block the shot.

Goalscorer Alejandro Gomez is fuming as he turns creator, dinking a ball to the back post where Thomas Delaney is unmarked but he sends his volley wide.

Gomez feels his team-mate should do better from there.

I went to Barcelona in 2008, my mate treated us because the Ryanair flights were £2 return from Leeds/Bradford.

Yes, £2!

Anyway we were planning to go to the Barca v Atletico Madrid on the Sunday, but it got moved to the Saturday meaning we couldn't make it.

Barca won 6-1.

Not that I'm bitter about it after all these years.

Under way again for the second half.

Lovetotravel: Following Sevilla v Barça, fun comments! Remember going to Barcelona for 1st time in 2000 and friend offered his two tickets for the Champions League game v Porto. A few rows behind the goals, still remember the Rivaldo rocket to level.

Have a read of that feature in the previous entry.

In early 1991, an 18-year-old stood in a bakery in Paulista, a rundown region of Recife in north-eastern Brazil, waiting to be interviewed by local media. He didn't look much like a footballer.

He had recently made headlines having looped in a perfect, neck-straining header on debut for local side Santa Cruz. As a result, a TV reporter had sought him out, keen to discuss his career ambitions.

The modest young man replied between sips on a fresh coconut: "My dream is already being realised; to play for Santa Cruz. I hope to achieve more and become an idol for the club's fans."

Rivaldo, who turns 50 in April, achieved much, much more. He can now look back on a career that not only vastly exceeded his own expectations, but disproved the widely-held belief that we must dream big to achieve great success.

Within a decade of that interview, he had won the Ballon d'Or, been named Fifa's World Player of the Year and scored for Barcelona what many consider to be the greatest hat-trick of all-time.

By 2002, he had lifted the World Cup as an integral part of Brazil's fearsome frontline - Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo. A year later he added a Champions League title with AC Milan.

Dream big, they say. Unless your upbringing does not allow it.

Barcelona scored and conceded a goal from a corner in a La Liga match for the first time this season.

And that was the last act of the first half.

"What a great time to score," as football experts say.

Barca putting crosses into the box, tiki-taka RIP.

Frenkie de Jong lofts one to the back post for Abde Ezzalzouli but it's hanging and doesn't really give the frontman a chance as he heads a weak effort into the hands of Bono.

The conditions are proving a little difficult for the goalkeepers.

The usually reliable Marc-Andre ter Stegen drops a cross at the near post and Karim Rekik is sniffing around to convert, but the shot is blocked by the Barca goalkeeper.

Gavi hasn't really featured so far but the teenager is bundled off the ball by Irishman, I mean Dane Thomas Delaney and is booked.

First real save for either goalkeeper to make.

Sevilla give the ball away in their own half and Ousmane Dembele gets to the edge of the box, but a low drive is kept out by Bono.

I say kept out, the Sevilla goalkeeper spills it in tricky conditions and Diego Carlos has to get back to clear.

Sevilla are getting the ball to Rafa Mir and he is starting to cause a few problems.

Thomas Delaney breaks forward and feeds Mir on the edge of the box, but the shot is a yard wide of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen's goal.

What a touch, what a finish.

Rafa Mir latches on to a long ball over the top which catches the Barcelona defence napping.

Mir did nothing at Wolves but is showing his prowess at Sevilla, bringing the ball down over his shoulder and caressing a delightful finish into the far corner.

But the linesman's flag is up and a lovely goal will be chalked off.

Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui is going mad on the touchline, telling his side to pick it up.

The hosts have not made a good start and the gaffer is making his feelings known.

He likes a shot does young Ferran Jutgla.

The Barca forward is 25 yards outside goal and sees a low shot deflect wide.

From the corner, defender Ronald Araujo is off balance and sends his shot wide.
