  1. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 59 mins

    Granada 2-1 Barcelona

    The tricky Bryan Zaragoza nutmegs Gavi, who brings down the Granada forward.

    Here come those Granada changes - and there will be three of them.

    On come Antonio Puertas, Raul Torrente and Njegos Petrovic, replacing Myrto Uzuni, Gonzalo Villar and Alvaro Fernandez.

    Granada 2-1 Barcelona

    Granada surely can't see out victory by playing like this for the remainder of the match.

    Manager Paco Lopez is preparing to make changes.

    Granada 2-1 Barcelona

    It's all Barcelona. Alejandro Balde is played in on the left but his attempted low cross is cut out for another corner.

    It's only cleared as far as Fermin Lopez, who makes a clean contact with a volley but it's straight at Andre Ferreira.

    Granada 2-1 Barcelona

    Lamine Yamal's added-time goal has changed the feel of this match and the home crowd are certainly not so relaxed anymore.

    Ferran Torres blazes a shot over from distance and, although it doesn't appear to take a touch off any defender, the referee awards a corner, leaving the Granada fans furious.

    The hosts clear, preventing any further controversy.

    Granada 2-1 Barcelona

    No changes for the second half, but it's a little bit more fiery.

    There's a disagreement between a few players, with Gavi at the heart of it, and it takes the referee some time to get everyone settled down again.

    Lamine Yamal

    The 16-year-old gets Barcelona back into the game!

    Lamine Yamal becomes the youngest ever goal scorer in La Liga history.

    It's a scrappy goal in truth, but Barcelona won't care, as Yamal slots a cross into an open goal at the back post to halve the deficit.

    We'll have five minutes of added time at the end of the first half.

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 44 mins

    Granada 2-0 Barcelona

    Jules Kounde goes down again. That's it, he's not going to be able to continue.

    He slams the ground with his fist in frustration and throws some tape to the floor as he exits the pitch.

    On comes Ronald Araujo.

  12. Postpublished at 42 mins

    Granada 2-0 Barcelona

    Granada have had three touches in the Barcelona penalty area.

    Two shots, two goals. It has, up to this point, been a dream first-half for the underdogs.

    Granada 2-0 Barcelona

    Jules Kounde is down and receiving some treatment on a leg injury. He'll head off the pitch so that can be given a more thorough examination.

  14. Postpublished at 38 mins

    Granada 2-0 Barcelona

    It's all Barcelona once again, but still no way through as we approach half-time.

    Fermín Lopez lands a shot on target but it's too close to the goalkeeper.

  15. CLOSE!published at 34 mins

    Granada 2-0 Barcelona

    Andre Ferreira takes no chances and pushes a shot out for a corner.

    Just over 10 minutes until the interval, can the hosts take their two-goal advantage into the break?

    The Barcelona fans look stunned.

    The Granada fans are bouncing.

    Not many could have seen this coming...

    Bryan Zaragoza

    Bryan Zaragoza has done it again!

    Granada have not threatened since their first minute opener but one ball up to Zaragoza and the 22-year-old does the rest - in style!

    The young Spaniard shows incredible composure, bamboozling the defender to create space for the shot and calmly popping the ball beyond the reach of Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

    Granada 1-0 Barcelona

    Robert Lewandowski is absent with a left ankle sprain and it does feel as though Barcelona are missing that presence in the penalty area so far.

    Alejandro Balde whips in a cross from the left but no team-mates can get to it, allowing Granada to scramble clear at the back post.

  19. Postpublished at 25 mins

    Granada 1-0 Barcelona

    Gavi swivels and unleashes a shot that goes wide of the mark, but the flag is up for an offside against him.

    Granada just can't get out.

  20. CLOSE!published at 23 mins

    Granada 1-0 Barcelona

    The pressure is building.

    Joao Felix takes aim from outside the box and sends a low drive whistling past the far post.

    Barcelona are getting closer...
