Huesca have shown attacking intent all the way through this game, but in one sense that was their undoing in losing the second goal. They have thrown caution to the wind in this game.
25'
This is also a big chance for Douglas, who looked shaky in the odd game he has made an appearance in for Barcelona this season. He hasn't lived up to his price tag so far.
24'
Josan does well to escape the attentions of Douglas, with the winger's cross causing mayhem in the Barcelona penalty area. But between Bartra and Mathieu the away side clear the danger.

This could be quite serious for Ter Stegen. He is now receiving treatment from the Barcelona medical staff. Remember, the German keeper has already spent time injured this season.
20'
That second goal demonstrated the dangers of committing too many players forward against a team like Barcelona. They left themselves short at the back and now find themselves two down.
19'
Ter Stegen is placed under real pressure from a Huesca freekick, with Garcia and David underneath the goalkeeper, but the whistle has blown and the Barcelona man receives a reprieve.

YELLOW CARD: Jeremy Mathieu (Barcelona)

That's Iniesta first goal for Barcelona since last March, and what a goal it was. He lasered that one into the top corner. That's exactly what he intended to do. The keeper stood no chance.

GOOOOAL! Huesca 0 Barcelona 2 (15 mins - Andres Iniesta). And the Catalans have a second goal early on. Iniesta finds the top corner with an exceptional finish after a lay off from Rakitic.
14'
That goal for Barcelona shows just how strong they are from set pieces. Normally Rakitic would be nowhere near the top of the pecking order to hit one, but that's what he can do from them.
13'
That might go down as a mistake from the goalkeeper. He took up a strange position, crouching in the right corner of the goal, leaving the rest of the target completely open. And that's where Rakitic put it.

GOOOOAL! Huesca 0 Barcelona 1 (12 mins - Ivan Rakitic). Barcelona have taken the lead after just 12 minutes. Rakitic lashes home a freekick from 25 yards, making it 1-0 to the visitors.
11'
That was almost a howler from Ter Stegen! The German keeper smashes a clearance into Guillem, who has charged him down, but the ball spins away from goal rather than into the net.
10'
These are the kind of games Pedro has been limited to over the past season or so. He was once one of the club's best players but now he is struggling to break into the first team.
9'
Pedro cuts inside off his berth on the left wing, freeing up some space for himself with a stepover, but he blasts his shot well over the bar when he should have done more with the effort.
8'
This is also a big opportunity for Ter Stegen, who has been second choice since joining Barcelona in the summer. He hasn't been able to displace Bravo from the number one shirt.
7'
Guillem is given a ball to run on to, but Ter Stegan is wary and comes off his line to make the interception before the Huesca striker can get there. But encouraging stuff from the home side.
6'
It's an entirely new front three for Barcelona, with Messi, Suarez and Neymar all given a rest tonight. Instead it's Munir, Pedro and Rafinha who will lead the line for Enrique.
5'
Samper has been called up from the Barcelona B side for this game, with the teenager slotting into the centre of midfield alongside Rakitic and Inietsa. He's in good company, then.
4'
Just one Barcelona player has survived from the weekend win over Valencia: Mathieu. The rest are all changes from Enrique, but the Catalan visitors still look strong, such is their depth.
