There's a mini-brawl on the touchline as Lewandowski is barged over, and most of his team-mates get involved. The ref shows a couple of yellow cards, and then it boils over again with Lewandowski involved in another scuffle.
Valencia 0-1 Barcelona
Would you believe it?
The Polish striker stretches to a cross on the six yard line and the ball flies across and just inside the post.
Barca go wild, while Valencia coach Gattuso throws his glasses to the ground.
Valencia 0-0 Barcelona
Stoppage time - six minutes of it - to come. I have no idea where they've got that from.
Valencia look happy to settle for a point.
Valencia 0-0 Barcelona
That miss summed up a game where the lack of killer instinct in the box has led to the stalemate we still have.
What a miss!
Ferran Torres, ex-Valencia of course, is in the six yard area and makes a total hash of a chance, hitting the ball onto his other leg and away from goal.
Valencia 0-0 Barcelona
Hmmm - a cross strikes sub Gerard Pique and Valencia are screaming for handball. Replays show it clearly smacks the ex-Man United defender on the side of the face.
Valencia 0-0 Barcelona
A fine tackle by Correia on Lewandowski snuffs out a chance for the Pole in the area, but the Valencia defender looks shattered and may well be off soon.
Los Che have worked relentlessly tonight.
Valencia 0-0 Barcelona
There's not a lot of flow to this at the moment following a raft of replacements. It's no classic.
Valencia 0-0 Barcelona
Valencia look to be flagging under pressure, until they break away through Lino. He gets to the edge of the box but a weak, low shot rolls harmlessly into Ter Stegen,s clutches.
Valencia 0-0 Barcelona
Great work from Gaya in the six yard box denies a chance for substitute Raphinha, the Valencia player sliding in and wrapping his foot around the ball to hook it away with Raphinha racing in.
Valencia 0-0 Barcelona
It's all been a bit flat since Valencia's early surge. Barca have not created any chances in this half.
Valencia 0-0 Barcelona
Oh, that's lovely from Valencia's Gaya! He takes down a high ball close to the touchline, but shaping to go forward, he flicks it back infield with his left foot to throw Barca off the scent for a second.
Valencia 0-0 Barcelona
Los Che are much improved since we resumed, Barca have yet to get back to their impressive showing before the break.
Valencia 0-0 Barcelona
Another chance for Fati goes begging, he drives into the left side of the box but he's off balance as he shoots and the ball slams into the crowd behind the goal.
Valencia 0-0 Barcelona
Lino guides home a deep cross at the far post, but Marcos Andre flung his hand out as the ball came over and got a touch. It's a clear handball, but that does not stop Marcos Andre protesting it.
Valencia 0-0 Barcelona
Gabriel looks hurt after taking a Fati shot right on the ankle, but he soldiers on gingerly.
Valencia 0-0 Barcelona
And we're back, no more changes as yet.
Valencia 0-0 Barcelona
Valencia get a corner in stoppage time, but Balde decides to hang onto the ball and causes a bit of a scrum in the area. The ref speaks to Lino and Balde, with the latter lucky not to be booked for holding onto the ball.
The corner is finally taken, and Gabriel pulls away from Kounde and sends his free header just wide for the hosts' best chance of the half.
Valencia 0-0 Barcelona
Lewandowski gets to a fine cross from Jordi Alba and his header hits the base of the post with Mamardashvili flatfooted and nowhere near it.
