Neymar makes a difference to this Barcelona team. They are a much faster side with him in the starting lineup. They move the ball through the lines of midfield and attack quicker.
16'
Messi cuts inside off the right wing and fashions the space for a shot from the edge of the box. But the Malaga defence sticks with him well and makes the block to deny his shot.
15'
That was a close call for Kameni! Iniesta looked to pick out the run of Suarez, only for the Malaga keeper to spill it. However, Suarez can't make the most of the mistake and runs it out of play.

It will be interesting to see how Neymar lasts the course today. He hasn't played any football before tonight and was struggling with mumps. How will his fitness hold up over the 90 minutes?
12'
I don't think Messi was quite expecting that! Iniesta gets to the byline to reach a ball that was heading out of play and cuts back an excellent pass into the box, but no Barca players are on hand.
11'
That wasn't too far away! Messi plays the pass into Iniesta, who plays a nifty little reverse ball into Suarez... but the striker can't quite reach the pass before the keeper collects it.
10'
Of course, Dani Alves suffered injury in the win over Athletic Bilbao last week, but Roberto impressed coming on as a right back. He played there in some pre-season games over the summer.

Barcelona have the ball in the net, but it has been disallowed! Suarez headed home from a corner kick, but the referee decides that he pushed Angeleri in making his leap for the ball.
8'
There's the first sign of the link-up between the Barcelona frontline now that Neymar is back involved. Suarez turns his marker and tries to find the Brazilian at the back post, but it's headed behind for a corner kick.

Malaga were something of a bogey team for Barcelona last year. Barcelona picked up just one point in two meetings against them. Can they continue that pattern into this season?
5'
Another interesting piece of team news for Barcelona is that Sergi Roberto starts in the right back position. He played there against Athletic last week and impressed, so he keeps his place.

And Barcelona have missed their Brazilian star. Of course, Pedro is no longer at the club, so Rafinha has been playing in his place. But Neymar brings something extra to their frontline.
2'
The big team news for this match is that Neymar is back in the Barcelona starting lineup! He has missed the first few weeks of the season with mumps, but he is back for this match!
