Hello and welcome t our LIVE coverage of this table-topping clash between Barca - in second for now after Real's win - and Sevilla, who lie fourth and are unbeaten this season.

Thanks for joining us for that crazed game - I'm Reda Maher and I am off.

Messi to take the free-kick, surely this is it... tipped wide by the keeper and that's it! What a point for Sevilla and a heroic, once-in-a-career game from Javi Varas who is mobbed at the whistle!

Navarro slides in with a late tackle on Pedro! And now he's off! Free-kick on the edge of the box, on the right...

Navas brings it into the left, into the corner...

Finally Messi to take, can he keep his nerve? SAVED!! WHAT A HERO! Not the best penalty but Varas guessed right and tipped it away!

Oh there's a fight! Before Messi can take it they kick off behind the ref's back, Fabregas goes down holding his face... Kanoute is off.

Varas has been a monster today, Messi steps up for the penalty... Kanoute with some mind games, he doesn't care if he gets booked...

It seems the linesman has given it, a trip sliding in and it's the right decision. What a shame for Fazio.

WHAT A SAVE! Varas from Iniesta after he dribbled in but what is this? The ref awards a penalty!

Messi races in but his ball inside is intercepted by Fazio who brings it clear. FOUR minutes added time.

Villa is almost played in but it drifts just wide of him!

Nigo - the La Liga all-time record for consecutive clean sheets is a whopping 1,275 minutes, by Atletico Madrid keeper Abel Resino in 1990-91. So a long way to go for Valdes, who has no gone past 600 minutes!

Sevilla take their time as Rakitic plays Armenteros in but he is offside. Close.

Navas wins a free-kick off Mascherano on the left.

Caceres intercepts a Xavi pass and Fazio completes the clearance.

Barca passing patiently even though a goal has become a matter of urgency.

Messi shoots but blocked by a brave, flying Caceres. Corner.

Guardiola is urging his team on as they approach the last 10 minutes including stoppage time.

Pedro lets the ball run away from him after a nice pass by Iniesta.

Varas AGAIN saves with his legs from Messi after a mesmerising run. 12 saves from Varas. Chapeau.
