REAL BETIS 1-2 BARCELONA: AS IT HAPPENED

He is injured so Betis have to switch keepers. Rui Silva comes on.

It's the Betis goalkeeper who is down receiving treatment. A sub could be made here.

Great switch to the right-back Sabaly and he picks out Canales who goes for the pass but perhaps he could've had a shot from there.

Dembele again, he skips past two and delivers another great cross. Bravo pushes it out into the danger zone but luckily Pezzella can clear inside the six yard box after it hits him and was heading in for an own goal.

Dembele puts a great ball in but Torres is on his heels and it goes out of play.

Moreno, the Betis left-back, wants to get forward but he can't afford to give Dembele that much space again.

Both sides are comfortable on the ball.

Gavi for Barca switches it well do Alba. Also, Canales has made some great passes already.

Betis break so well. Iglesias slides Juanmi in down the left hand side and he's quicker than an ageing Dani Alves.

He slices his shot though and it goes wide.

Mateu Lahoz is the man with the whistle, known for refereeing plenty of Champions League games.

He's let a lot go already as Depay and Iglesias both seemed to be fouled but nothing was given.

Depay is playing off the left flank with Ferran Torres as the central striker.

The fans have sung the Betis anthem, held up green and white cards creating a great tifo and had a moment of silence for a fan that passed away.

Barcelona get the ball rolling.

Atmosphere is building at the Estadio Benito Villamarin. Kick-off is just ten minutes away

Barcelona are set to give the Betis side a guard of honour as they walk out onto their home turf due to their domestic cup win.

Xavi said: "For us, the guard of honour is a sign of respect. Betis won a trophy that we participated in. Tomorrow, we will stand for them. I also stood for Real Madrid, and I have no problems in that.”

The Catalan giants will end this season trophy-less but there is stuff to be hopeful about from a Barcelona perspective.

Xavi has done well since taking over from Ronald Koeman and they can tighten their grip on 2nd place with a win this evening.

La Masia continues to produce exciting young talents so despite some financial problems Barca might not be falling away from the top just yet.

They have enjoyed a fantastic season winning the Copa del Rey but could things get better for them as they fight for a top four place?

Betis are just three points behind 4th place Atletico Madrid who face champions Real Madrid tomorrow. Tonight they have the chance to close the gap and put pressure on Atleti.

Here is how Barca line-up tonight. Aubameyang is amongst the substitutes.

Former Man City and West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini chooses this side for tonight's huge game.
