Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga clash between Rayo Vallecano and Barcelona. We'll bring you all the goals and action as it happens. Kick-off: 20.00.

Enrique is down on the touchline encouraging his team and urging them to keep the tempo of their play up. He doesn't want Barcelona to take their foot off the pedal in this second half.

Neymar is on the end of some rough treatment from the Rayo Vallecano defenders and he isn't happy about it. To be fair to the Brazilian, he has a point. Strange refereeing.

How will Rayo Vallecano play in this second half? Surely they can't be as open and attacking as they were before the sending off? For their own good they must be more conservative.

Of course, Rayo Vallecano were reduced to 10 men before the break with the sending off of Llorente. However, on second viewing the decision looked to be a harsh one on the player.

NEYMAR REALLY SHOULD HAVE SCORED! The chip over the top from Suarez for the Brazilian was wonderful, but Neymar could only send his volleyed strike past the far post.

The second half is under way! Barcelona hold a 2-0 lead over Rayo Vallecano in this Liga clash.

What did you make of the first half? Was the decision to show Llorente a straight red card the correct one? How many goals will Barcelona finish this match with? Tweet me!

HALF-TIME: Rayo Vallecano 0-2 Barcelona. The away side have been the better of the two teams, and they have been helped on their way by some really poor Rayo defending.

Just one minute of stoppage time to be played at the end of the first half.

SENT OFF! Diego Llorente (Rayo Vallecano). It's a straight red card for the Rayo Vallecano player, who looked to follow through on Rakitic with his challenge. That was an unlucky one.

They are a neutrals' team, Rayo Vallecano. They deal well with Barcelona's pressure and know how to pass their way out of trouble. But they just make too many mistakes.

You have to question Paco's strategy and ethos as a coach. Rayo Vallecano are great to watch, but keep in mind that they are only two points above the drop zone. Could they be more conservative?

The home side are just as good as Barcelona at keeping hold of possession, but they don't quite have the same cutting edge as the Spanish and European champions. Difference.

Rayo Vallecano are enjoying a decent spell at the moment, looking for a way through the Barcelona defender. Embarba is definitely the danger man for the home side. He's playing well.

There's no way this match will finish 2-0. Barcelona will score at least another, and there's a chance Rayo Vallecano could find the net as well. The Catalans aren't so strong at the back.

Things are starting to get a little bit fiery between the two sides, with Busquets and Suarez the two primary protagonists. Although you already knew that. Who else would it be?

This could be an opportunity for the Barcelona attackers to fill their boots. There is so much space for them to exploit in the final third, and so Suarez's eyes must be lighting up.
