Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Super Copa between Barcelona and Sevilla. We'll bring you all the action as it happens in Tangiers, Morocco. Kick off is at 9pm.

ALBA DRAWS THE SAVE! Vaclik is called into action. Most thought that Alba would look to play the ball across the goal, but he took on the shot himself and forced the save at the near post.

SUAREZ SHOULD DO BETTER! What a pass that was from Messi. He picked out Suarez on the left side of the Sevilla penalty area, but his touch let him down and the clearance is made.

First booking of the game and it is shown the way of Busquets for bringing down Muriel.

Technically, this is a friendly game between these two sides. The RFEF decided that it wouldn't be an official match, as previous Super Copa games have been designated.

N'Zonzi is missing for Sevilla this evening. The French midfielder was a target for Arsenal this summer, but now looks set to move to Roma in the coming days. He's not here.

PENALTY CLAIM! Now Barcelona believe that they should have been awarded a spot kick. Semedo's cross into the box was blocked by Kjaer. Replays show it struck his stomach and not his arm.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Sevilla 1 (9 mins - Pablo Sarabia) Barcelona 0. VAR has been used and has overturned the decision of the linesman! The goal stands. Sarabia's finish into the far corner was excellent. The replays showed that he was in line with Lenglet when the pass was made by Muriel.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... NO! Sevilla think they have taken the lead through Sarabia, with the forward finishing into the far corner after some good play from Muriel. But the flag is up for offside!

Correction! Earlier I said that Arthur was the only summer signing in the Barcelona team for this game this evening. I missed Lenglet in the backline. Of course, he was signed from Sevilla this summer.

As already mentioned, Lucho is here to watch this game. The new Spain manager tried to speak to Pique to convince him to stay a part of the national team this week. He failed.

It was decided just a few hours before kick off that VAR would be used in this game. The technology will be used in La Liga this season, which is causing some concern. No testing has been done.

ALBA WAS IN BEHIND! First real chance for Barcelona, with Alba getting the byline. He cuts back for a teammate, but Kjaer was in the middle to make the clearance from inside the box.

Sevilla had three different managers last season. The 2017/18 campaign was a difficult one for them, but they still managed to beat Manchester United in the Champions League. Remember that?

As I said earlier, Arthur is the only summer signing in the Barcelona team for this game this evening. Rafinha is also back in the Barca squad after returning from a loan spell at Inter.

The match is under way! It's Barcelona against Sevilla in the Spanish Super Copa!

The players are now out on the pitch in Tangier. We've just had a look at the VAR hut at the stadium. Kick off is coming soon.
