Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Barcelona’s game against Granada. Neymar, Suarez are Messi all start up front for Barca.

Reaction when someone dispossesses a standard Barcelona player: mild applause.

Reaction when someone dispossesses Lionel Messi: delirium.

CHANCE! Marquez strolls onto the ball before, suddenly, swinging a left boot and watching his shot fly towards the far corner. Claudio Bravo is alert to turn it behind. Cracking effort.

Messi beats one, another, a third... and a fourth. The man is a beast.

CHANCE! Great link-up play between Rakitic and Messi opens a chance for the latter. The Argentine sends a super volley just over.

CHANCE! Marquez is fuming! The ball is perfectly placed into his path near the area, but the referee gets in his way. The Chilean blazes his awkward shot over the crossbar.

Alba charges across to smash a clearance to the other end of the stadium. Quite the hoof.

Oh yes. Luis Enrique wanders to the edge of his technical area, lifts his heel behind his bottom and catches a clearance with the back of his polished shoe. Glorious touch.

Estadio Los Carmenes is experiencing a lull. Not a whole lot of action to report. Granada edging the midfield battle, but no clear-cut chances are falling their way.

Really impressive response from the hosts, who are camped in the Barcelona half.

CHANCE! Almost an instant response from Granada. The ball falls invitingly to Lass about 10 yards from goal and he crashes an effort narrowly over.

That should help the visitors find a rhythm. They've been a bit sloppy in the opening stages.

GOAL! Granada 0-1 Barca. Suarez scuffs a cross along the six-yard box which Juan Cala can only divert into the path of Rakitic, who can't miss.

CHANCE! The ball spirals through the Granada sky towards Marquez, who sends an audacious header towards goal. Over. Just.

CHANCE! Xavi forces a good stop from Oier after fine work from Suarez on the left.

Barca have barely had a touch in the Granada final third.

Jhon Cordoba skips through the Barca offside trap and charges down the inside-right channel. Belatedly, the flag shoots up. Replays show it was very tight.

Rakitic tries to muscle in between two defenders. There's no gap.

YELLOW! Luis Suarez rolls his opponent and sends the limpest arm into his opponent. The reaction is ridiculous and earns the Uruguayan a booking.
