Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga fixture between Barcelona and Real Betis. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at the Camp Nou. Kick off is at 15:15 GMT.

PENALTY KICK TO BARCELONA! Ansu is taken down inside the area by Mandi and the referee points to the spot!

Pedri is so confident on the ball. What a find he has been for Barcelona, signing him from Las Palmas in the summer. The future is bright for the Catalans. He's even younger than Ansu!

Cross needed to be better! Joaquin had the chance to swing a delivery into the box, but he failed to find anyone in a green and white shirt in the middle. Barcelona survive.

De Jong is playing well alongside Busquets in the centre of the Barcelona midfield this afternoon. The Dutchman played at centre back in the Champions League win over Dynamo Kiev.

Griezmann should have scored! Another golden opportunity for the French forward who was set up by the wonderful flick from Pedri, but Griezmann shoots wide of the near post.

Barcelona have taken a grip of this game since scoring the opening goal just a few moments ago. They are dominating possession. Real Betis having to dig deep at the moment.

There was a fairly lengthy VAR check after that goal, but Dembele was onside when the pass was played to him by Griezmann and the goal stands. Barcelona have the lead.

That's what Dembele can offer you and that's why so many fans are frustrated by the performances he tends to turn in for Barcelona. The Frenchman can be so devastating!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Barcelona 1 (23 mins - Ousmane Dembele) Real Betis 0. Wow! What an astonishing finish! The ball was played out to the right by Griezmann, Dembele cut inside on to his left foot and lashed a ferocious strike into the back of the net! Bravo didn't see the ball until it had already flashed past him!

Tello takes aim! The former Barcelona winger gets the shot away on the edge of the box, it was a curling one, but Ter Stegen watched it all the way and made the comfortable save.

PICTURE: Messi in the stands...

Real Betis are enjoying a good spell in this match at the moment. They will get chances against this Barcelona team, just as Alaves did last weekend and Dynamo Kiev did during the week.

Chance for Betis! Moreno is played in behind down the left side, he had Sanabria in the middle, but decided to take the shot on himself and dragged the effort wide of the far post.

Ter Stegen played his first game of the season in the win over Dynamo Kiev during the week. Barcelona are a much stronger unit with the German goalkeeper between the posts.

Bravo is back at the Camp Nou this afternoon. He was, of course, Barcelona's first choice goalkeeper in the league not so long ago. His move to Manchester City didn't pan out so well.

So close from Griezmann! This time the Frenchman bursts through the Real Betis midfield and gets the shot away from just inside the box, but Griezmann grazes the outside of the post!
