Off we go then in the first half at the Camp Nou. Barca on the ball early on.

Was Pique who was offside from Xavi's free-kick. Barca finding it tough to break down this visiting side.

Valdes having a bit of a spectating role, but that is standard practice for him in most matches.

Neymar on a mazy run before he is clipped late. The free-kick comes to nothing for Barca.

Fabregas wriggles clear of his markers, but the shot is weak as it ends up straight in the arms of Marino.

Barca keeping possession for fun as per usual before Fabregas falls over the ball at the wrong moment. And the chance is lost.

Sanchez bursts into the opposing box, but clips an effort a few yards wide of the visiting goal.

This match ended in a 2-1 win for Barcelona last season with the Catalans completing a 3-1 victory when they travelled to Valladolid in December 2012.

Naymar with a little lay-off, but Valladolid quick to read that idea before knocking the ball clear.

The visiting side doing wonderfully well to close down space. Zakara Bergdich knocks a ball straight out of play.

The Camp Nou far from happy that Neymar wasn't given a penalty there. Looked to be a decent shout for one.

Pena tackles Neymar in the box, but no penalty.

Iniesta chilling out on the bench. He was given a standing ovation from the Celtic fans during the week after departing the scene.

Xavi goes for goal, but leans back at the wrong moment as the shot flies over the bar.

Barcelona earn a free-kick here after Neymar is taken out of the action late.

Xavi slides a superb long pass from one end out to Dani Alves on the other side of the pitch.

Marino comes up with another excellent save with his right foot to keep out the Neymar effort.

Xavi hesitates again before being deprived of the ball. Some smart play by Xavi if a bit reluctant to go for goal when he should have been uncorking the shot.

Barcelona have won all eight games Lionel Messi has missed over the last three years - 21 goals scored, three conceded.

Barcelona have won their last 18 home league games - their best run since 1974 when they recorded 21.

Zakara Bergdich in the heart of the action again, but this time Barta does enough to prevent a second visiting goal as the ball flies wide.

Zakara Bergdich guilty of hesitating from the Guerra pass. Should have got the shot away there, but Barca recover.
