Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Super Copa clash between Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona. We'll bring you all the goals and action as it happens at San Mames. Kick-off: 21.00.

It's almost as if Barcelona are too reliant on Messi... just putting it out there. I mean, he was involved in the Copa America all the way to the final, and this is already about his 100th game of the new season.

Oooft Suarez got clattered by his own goalkeeper there from a corner kick. And the former Liverpool striker isn't too happy with Ter Stegen about that! He has some choice words to say.

Barcelona just aren't getting the ball to their front three at the moment. Has Messi touched the ball more than five times? I wouldn't say so. Where's Pedro? Or Suarez for that matter?

This might be little more than just a glorified pre-season friendly, but it's certainly not being played like one. The intensity of this match has been frenetic, with both sides going for it.

Ah, it would seem Mascherano really has taken on the Busquets role. He's in the referee's ear at every opportunity trying to get opposition players booked. That's not very sporting, Javier.

If only Aduriz had six foot legs. The striker manages to take the cross down by De Marcos, but he can't quite gather the ball for the shot and Barcelona get back to make the challenge.

Athletic Bilbao are looking really good on the counter attack. Barcelona look as vulnerable as they have looked since Fernando Torres scored against them for Chelsea.

Good chance for Suarez! The former Liverpool man and serial biter gets in behind the Athletic backline, drawing the keeper off his line. But he can't quite squeeze his shot past Iraizoz.

Oh, there's Messi. He tries to dribble around several Athletic Bilbao players, in that way that he tends to, but Balenziaga stands up to the Argentine and makes the well-timed challenge.

Many claim that Barcelona's weakness is from set pieces, but they didn't concede from a single corner kick in La Liga last season. That's right. Not a single one. So, err, is that really a weakness?

It's Bartra and Vermaelen at the centre back positions for Barcelona tonight, which means that Mascherano is the one who is playing in what is known as the Sergio Busquets role.

Enrique does have Iniesta on the bench, and the way things are going now it might not be long until Enrique calls on the Spanish international to help turn this game around.

How much are Barcelona missing Xavi Hernandez? He only played a bit-part role at the club last season but it was an important one. Who do they have to take a grip of games like this now?

I'm not even sure if I have mentioned Lionel Messi's name? Have I? I don't think I have. I'm not entirely sure that he has touched the ball, actually. Utterly anonymous so far, is the Argentine.

Of course, it should be noted that Athletic Bilbao are a very good team. They are especially good at home and so they will have fancied their chances of taking a result here even before San Jose's stunner.

Enrique looks restless on the touchline. His team really haven't picked up where they leave off. They look tired, which might be down to the fact that they were playing at 2am on Tuesday night!

Barcelona just can't get going here. They are being really sloppy on the ball and have been lazy in their passing. Are we really sure that this is a Barcelona team we're watching right now?
