    Ousmane Dembele (47 mins)

    About time.

    A lovely finish from Ousmane Dembele as he finds himself in space and slots a left-footed shot into the far corner.

    You can't say it hasn't been coming.

    Watching some of the highlights at half time Barcelona have had A LOT of chances.

    They should absolutely be ahead in this game.

    So far not the perfect farewell party for Gerard Pique.

    HT: Barcelona 0-0 Almeria

    Almeria will be pleased to have held the home side going into the second half.

    It has been all Barcelona, though. And Robert Lewandowski missed a penalty.

  7. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:51 Greenwich Mean Time 5 November 2022

    Barcelona 0-0 Almeria

    Frantic minute or so of action in Barcelona as Frenkie de Jong went straight up the other end for the home side and pumped a right-footed shot through the Almeria defence but Fernando Martinez made a diving save down to his left.

    All square at the break.

    Barcelona 0-0 Almeria

    Nervy moment at the other end as a square ball travels across the Barcelona penalty area and it would've only taken a toe to get that over the line for Almeria.

    Barcelona 0-0 Almeria

    Two minutes of added time to come at the Nou Camp.

    Almeria have done well to get this far at this scoreline.

    Barcelona 0-0 Almeria

    Ferran Torres is picked out again by Frenkie de Jong and he tries to be too cute with his shot with the outside of his boot and it's straight at the keeper again.

  11. Postpublished at 39 mins

    Barcelona 0-0 Almeria

    Ferran Torres lays it across for Ousmane Dembele who dives to try and meet the header but it's straight at the keeper.

    He obviously thought Dembele was in a better position to score there but Torres possibly could've had a go himself.

    Big miss.

    Barcelona 0-0 Almeria

    The Nou Camp not too pleased with goalkeeper Fernando Martinez who is doing his best to waste a bit of time for Almeria.

    If they can get to half time at 0-0 they will be pleased with that.

  13. CLOSE!published at 33 mins

    Barcelona 0-0 Almeria

    Oh Ferran Torres should do better there.

    Jordi Alba finds himself in space once again down the left-hand side and squares it across to Torres. It's a simple toe poke into the net but he just mistimes it and the ball whistles past him.

  14. Postpublished at 31 mins

    Barcelona 0-0 Almeria

    Jordi Alba plays a lovely one two with Sergio Busquets. He leaves the ball for Busquets on the edge of the area and it's a lovely chipped ball into the far post from the Spanish veteran but Alba can't quite poke it home.

    Barcelona 0-0 Almeria

    Barcelona love the short corner tonight.

    Frenkie de Jong squares the ball across from the short ball and Ferran Torres manages to get a left-footed shot off but Fernando Martinez punches away.

  16. GREAT SAVE!published at 26 mins

    Barcelona 0-0 Almeria

    A poor pass and Largie Ramazani is through one on one with Marc-Andre der-Stegen, the keeper comes out to greet the shot and makes himself big to parry the shot away.

    Brave goalkeeping.

  17. CLOSE!published at 24 mins

    Barcelona 0-0 Almeria

    Oh lovely through ball from Ousmane Dembele and it's squared across to Robert Lewandowski but he just can't quite get his feet set and the defender manages to fire it over the bar.

    Barcelona 0-0 Almeria

    Just 24% possession for Almeria so far.

    Largie Ramazani finds himself in the box one on one with Marc-Andre der-Stegen but the goalkeeper rushes out to swipe the ball away.

    Barcelona 0-0 Almeria

    Almeria struggling here, they haven't won an away game in La Liga this year.

    Lovely turn from Robert Lewandowski who picks the ball up on the edge of the box and spins 180 degrees to get a shot off but it's deflected wide.

    Barcelona 0-0 Almeria

    Barcelona are just totally dominating possession, at the moment.

    Pedri has a free-kick and it's a strange one, he play it short in an awkward move to Jordi Alba and Alba hammers a shot at Almeria goalkeeper Fernando Martinez but it's smacked away.

    Ferran Torres can't get the shot away from the rebound.
