    Not renowned for his heading ability but Frenkie de Jong burst into the box, is the furthest Barcelona player forward, but his header is straight at Sevilla goalkeeper Bono.

    I did Barca on Saturday and really like the look of Ferran Jutgla.

    The youngster turns and drives at the Sevilla defence, he can lay it off for Ousmane Dembele but decides to go himself, pulling his shot wide.

    Dembele is seething he didn't get the ball there.

  4. YELLOW CARDpublished at 10 mins

    Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona

    The first booking of the game goes to Barca skipper Sergio Busquets, chopping down Lucas Ocampos.

    The Sevilla forward was inside his own half there, tells you how frightened they are of the Argentine.

    I've been to Seville, have I mentioned it?

    The last holiday we went on, back in February 2020.

    Any European footballing tales to share?

    Barely anyone tweeting in tonight so you've got a good chance of making it on the show.

    OK OK.

    First chance of the game comes Barcelona's way but it's a difficult one for Ferran Jutgla, who has to stretch and is unable to get Ousmane Dembele's free-kick on target.

    Sevilla, beautiful city.

    Wouldn't fancy sitting at Las Setas with an ice cream tonight though.

    Would dribble all down my fingers.

    Under way in Seville.

    The locals are heading for cover/looking to squeeze into their ponchos.

    It is absolutely tipping it down.

    It's been a torrid 2021 for Barcelona.

    Club legend Xavi has been put in charge to restore the glory of Europe's fallen giants.

    The Catalans have suffered just one defeat in their last seven La Liga and three points today can take them into the top four.

    Can they end the year on a high?
