Follow LIVE coverage of the Liga match between Real Sociedad and Barcelona on Saturday, kicking off at 5pm UK time!

Castro is offside but it was close - he's annoyed as it was a late flag, but the linesman waited until the ball was in proximity to the Uruguayan.

The second half is underway!

There's the whistle and it's 2-1 to Barcelona in a quite enthralling game of football.

Given away by La Real and Iniesta brings it clear. One minute added time.

Vela races away down the left, he swings in a cross but Pique heads clear.

WHAT A VOLLEY BY MESSI AND WHAT A SAVE BRAVO! Lovely pass over the top by Cesc and a brilliant left-foot volley by Messi but Bravo flew across to save! Corner.

ALMOST 2-2! Castro again with a super half-volley after a delight of a lofted ball from Prieto! Well stopped by Valdes! All open all of a sudden!

GOAL REAL SOCIEDAD! 1-2 and Castro with a fabulous low finish across Valdes and inside the far post after a cute lay-off by Vela. Right back in it!

Messi with a fantastic change of pace to race away, the keeper rushes out and is caught in no-man's land, Messi lobs him and it's going in but strikes the inside of the post, somehow staying out and hacked away by Gonzalez!

The replay shows that Pedro was NOT offside, he was level - Puyol with a howler then, and the linesman.

Xavi swings in the corner but De la Bella heads clear. Back into the box though and Pedro is in but he's offside, sparing the blushes of Puyol hammering over from five yards.

That yields a corner off Illarremendi. La Real really under the kosh here.

Alba now gets forward, overlapping with Messi, and winning a throw on the left.

Inigo fouls Messi and is booked, the Barca star in a heap on the turf. Straight through his back.

Great Alba pass releases Messi but he is offside.

Martins has the ball in the back of the net but Illarramendi was just offside according to the officials! Shame that he was off as he didn't have to be!

Pique is booked for foolishly trying to block a quick free-kick, his claims that it wasn't being taken from the right spot a. incorrect and b. over exhuberant.

Griezmann with a decent half-volley but it bounces into the arms of Valdes.

Barca attacking in waves but this time Messi commits a foul after getting inside Martins - who was adjudged to have been fouled.

Xavi's corner is met by Gonzalez and it strikes Puyol but it hit his arm apparently.

Xavi with a superb ball to release Alves, De la Bella is all over the place but the cross is blocked by Gonzalez. Corner.
