    Wolfsburg 0-0 Bayern Munich

    You'd actually expect Harry Kane to score this. A set-piece is headed high into the air and lands to Kane eight yards out but his volley is at the keeper.

    Barcelona 2-2 Almeria

    Ronald Araujo almost gives Barcelona the lead again but heads just wide.

    Almeria's only other point on the road this season came at Cadiz.

    Bayern's first opportunity as Aleksandar Pavlovic crosses for Thomas Muller, who heads over.

    Good chance for Wolfsburg as Mattias Svanberg runs through the Bayern defence but his weak shot is straight at Manuel Neuer.

    GOAL - Barcelona 2-2 Almeriapublished at 19:34 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2023

    Edgar Gonzalez

    What a great game.

    Sergio Arribas curls in the free-kick he won and an absolute howler from Barca keeper Inaki Pena, who drops the ball he comes to claim allows Edgar Gonzalez to prod home an equaliser.

    Wolfsburg 0-0 Bayern Munich

    Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen are also in action, at home to Bochum.

    They start the day four points above Bayern.

    Wolfsburg 0-0 Bayern Munich

    Wolfsburg win an early corner as Joakim Maehle's cross is blocked, but the corner itself produces nothing of note.

    Barcelona 2-1 Almeria

    Lovely stuff from Sergio Arribas, who runs the ball clear and skips away from Oriol Romeu before being fouled.

    Almeria have a free-kick in Barca territory.

    Harry Kane won't know what to do with a Christmas break this long. Bayern's next game after today is 12 January.

    Barcelona 2-1 Almeria

    Oh dearie me. Almeria are not going to be happy about this...

    A replay shows that the corner from which Barcelona went back in front should actually have been a goal kick, with the ball going out of play off Alejandro Balde.

    Meanwhile, Oriol Romeu comes on for Fermín Lopez.

  11. KICK-OFFpublished at 19:30 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2023

    Wolfsburg 0-0 Bayern Munich

    We are under way at Wolfsburg, which I have to imagine is the German version of Wolverhampton.

    Barcelona 2-1 Almeria

    A sweeping Barcelona move should really bring a goal but Robert Lewandowksi's cross is cut out at the near stick with Ferran Torres waiting to tap in.

    Alex Pozo is replaced by Houboulang Mendes for the visitors.

    Barcelona 2-1 Almeria

    Robert Lewandowski continues his personal duel with Luis Maximiano but the Almeria keeper pushes his left-foot effort away at the near post.

    Sergi Roberto

    Another set-piece goal for Barca. It's a great header from Sergi Roberto...

    Shades of Roy Keane v Juventus (Man Utd) in the Champions League semi-final in April 1999, as the Barcelona skipper gets to the near post and flicks his header across goal and in.

    Barcelona 1-1 Almeria

    Joao Cancelo weaves one way then another as he tries to cross from the right and is eventually gets pushed over by Largie Ramazani.

    Cancelo and his fellow Barca players want a penalty for that but the referee Guillermo Fernandez is having none of it.

    Barcelona 1-1 Almeria

    Sergio Arribas, the 22-year-old midfielder who joined Almeria from Real Madrid in the summer is the man everything goes through for the visitors.

    Barcelona 1-1 Almeria

    Largie Ramazani is put through on goal for Almeria but fires wide. He'd have been offside anyway but just a little warning sign for Barca that they could be punished if they switch off in defence.

    Barcelona 1-1 Almeria

    Robert Lewandowski, with two efforts on goal inside a minute...

    His first is straight down the throat of Almeria keeper Luis Maximiano and he then heads over from a corner.

    Barcelona look transformed from the lacklustre side that ended the first period.
