37'
Messi is being afforded so much time and space to pick up the ball, turn and drive towards the Atletico Madrid penalty area. That's causing them so many problems.
36'
Simeone's side were once renowned as the best defensive unit in Europe, but they have been so vulnerable at the back this season. Something's not right at Atletico Madrid.
35'
34'
Atletico Madrid need someone to take a grip of this game. They might need Griezmann to drop deeper to collect the ball and drive it forward. They look so static in the middle.
33'
This Atletico Madrid defensive line looks so dangerous when Barcelona get motoring, with Neymar and Suarez in particular causing the home side all sorts of problems.
32'
SUAREZ SHOULD TAKEN THE SHOT! That was great play between Suarez and Neymar, breaking down the Atletico defence, but the former decided to pass to the latter rather than shooting.
31'
30'
MOYA SAVE! Neymar takes aim from the edge of the penalty area, but the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper gets his body behind the ball to make the rather simple save.
29'
That was an opportunity for the away side! Barcelona had a three-on-two situation there as they hit out on the counter attack, but Neymar didn't make the most of the chance.
28'
Gomes hasn't done all that much to justify his position in this Barcelona team so far. He has struggled to make an impression since making the move from Valencia in the summer.
27'
26'
Messi has been kept quiet so far this evening, but Barcelona have so much quality throughout their team that Atletico Madrid have still struggled to deal with their forward line.
25'
Rakitic is usually an attacking midfielder, but so far tonight he has played alongside Mascherano at the base of the Barcelona midfield. He's having to help out defensively.
24'
Just in the last few moments there is a growing sense that Atletico Madrid are getting a grip of things again. They are doing their best to look after he ball and press and probe on the edge of the box.
23'
22'
It's been strangely subdued at the Vicente Calderon so far. The early goal completely dampened the red hot atmosphere which had been building before kick off.
21'
Simeone has quite obviously tried to shore up the right side of the pitch to try and stop Neymar. Atletico Madrid are playing both Vrsaljko and Juanfran out on that wing.
20'
What has been most disappointing about this Atletico Madrid performance so far has been that they have failed to make any real impression on the rapid counter attack.
19'
18'
There have been some testy challenges between the two sets of players so far. Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have a number of headstrong players among their ranks, so that's not especially surprising.
17'
Cillessen hasn't had a shot to face in these opening 15 minutes or so. Of course, the Dutch goalkeeper has been playing in the Copa del Rey for Barcelona this season.
