Evening all - it is evening, right? - and welcome to Barcelona v Slavia Prague!

Olayinka is giving Barca plenty and he totally diddles Semedo inside and out before picking a lovely disguised cut-back for Stanciu, who sweeps a fine shot that looks like it's going in, until it flicks off Masopust and goes high. Lovely stuff.

Gorgeous from Griezmann, finding Alba, taking it back and playing him back in. The cross is in the air and aimed at Messi, who launches into a scissors kick which flies high and wide.

Lovely turn from Griezmann, who then slides ball into Dembele's path. He thinks he should cross and should, but only if there's someone to cross to, which there isn't, in which case he should shoot. He crosses.

This is a really fun game. It's a shame that, most likely, Slavia won't qualify for the Europa League.

Messi bends towards the near post, seeking a runner most likely, but there is none and Kolar punches behind then catches the corner.

Semedo is finding a lot of space, an chasing a bouncing ball, Olayinka shoves him, gets nowhere, so trips him. He's booked and Barca have a free-kick just outside the box, right-hand side.

Dembele slides a fine ball inside Boril for Semedo, who has Vidal peeling away but chooses to cross low and straight, allowing Frydrych to block.

On which point, I wonder if something is building in Czech football.

Sevcik, by the way is staying with Slavia till the end of the season - it had been thought he'd be off in January.

Olayinka slides a ball inside Smedo, for Sevcik, but he can't quite reach it. Good idea though.

Extremely generous.

Messi turns up for the first time and darts a ball into Dembele, but Kudela steps in to challenge.

Olayinka is making it really difficult for Barca, running the channels and also pulling wide. Usually it's Barca who want to make the pitch big, but here it's working against them.

Olayinka isolates Pique on the touchline and skips away from him! Pique hauls him back but the ref lets it go because Stanciu has the ball! He wins a corner which yields another corner which yields another corner comes to nothing, and in between times, the ref goes back to book Pique. He'll now miss the game against Dortmund.

Imaginative.

Slavia properly know what they're doing, and get right back to playing their game.

NOW THIS IS A CHANCE! Pique clips a ball directly into Semedo's path, and he's in! Sevcik is behind him but he's not going to catch up, and he shoots at the keeper goes down .., but directly into his studs. He needed to go for power there, or to lift it, Peter Beardsley-style.

Slavia aren't messing about when they get the chance to attack and win a corner, but Sevcik sticks it straight into Ter Stegen's arms.

Dembele beats Boril, but Soucek is there to help out.

I ought to have noted that Umtitit is on the bench for Barca tonight. He's played just once since June.

Here come Slavia again, another ball into the channel for Sevcik opening Barca up as Semendo plays everyone onside. Sevcik then moves along the by-line, crossing low, and when the ball flicks off Lenglet's hand, Ter Stegen needs to scoop away.
