    It's taken 94 minutes for Marc-Andre ter Stegen to be needed and he dives onto Justin Kluivert's long-range strike.

  3. Postpublished at 90+4 mins

    Barcelona 1-0 Valencia

    Into the final two minutes. The ball won't quite drop for Hugo Duro and Jules Kounde lashes it clear.

  4. Postpublished at 90+2 mins

    Barcelona 1-0 Valencia

    As good a chance as Valencia have had all night as Hugo Duro crashes a shot over the bar from 14 yards out at an angle.

  5. Postpublished at 90+1 mins

    Barcelona 1-0 Valencia

    Corner to Valencia but Barcelona get it away.

    Barcelona 1-0 Valencia

    Five minutes added on. Valencia yet to have a shot on target.

  7. Postpublished at 89 mins

    Barcelona 1-0 Valencia

    Very stop-start, which probably favours Barcelona as the team hanging onto a lead.

    Barcelona 1-0 Valencia

    Barcelona bring on 18-year-old forward Angel Alarcon for the scorer of the game's only goal, Raphinha.

  9. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 86 mins

    Barcelona 1-0 Valencia

    Valencia think they should have a penalty here. Franck Kessie gets a nick on the ball maybe before bundling Fran Perez over.

    The referee says no and VAR don't get involved. It could have gone either way.

  10. Postpublished at 85 mins

    Barcelona 1-0 Valencia

    Five minutes to go and Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen seems to be struggling with a knock.

  11. Postpublished at 83 mins

    Barcelona 1-0 Valencia

    Justin Kluivert, whose father Patrick played for Barcelona, has had a decent impact since coming on for Valencia - but can't find an end product at the end of this run.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 82 mins

    Barcelona 1-0 Valencia

    Barcelona bring on Eric Garcia for Sergi Roberto. Another defender.

    Everyone back for Barcelona and Raphinha heads away Samuel Lino's cross.

  16. Postpublished at 75 mins

    Barcelona 1-0 Valencia

    Barcelona win a corner. They'll certainly not be in a rush to take this. And when they do it isn't great.

  17. Postpublished at 73 mins

    Barcelona 1-0 Valencia

    Another offside flag, this time as Fran Perez flicks a shot wide at the near post.

  18. Postpublished at 71 mins

    The flag goes up for offside as Valencia attack and Barcelona take their time over the resulting free-kick.

    Barcelona 1-0 Valencia

    Barcelona try to counter - with lots of space to play into - but Raphinha gets his pass wrong.
