Welcome to live text commentary as Liga leaders Barcelona visit Granada.

@Hexgizzle: "And where's Chelsea in the Champs League???" (in response to @TheJoeSawaya, 77 minutes) /// @gheovan_putana: "I bet Ronaldo can't do what Messi do."

Barca go 15 points clear of Atletico and 19 ahead of Real - both of whom play tomorrow. Table will update here soon.

Barca orchestrate a brilliant attack with the last touches of the match, Iniesta bursting through on the left to fire into the side-netting. They win 2-1 - excellent second half.

Messi receives the ball into feet from Alves and turns to shoot with his right foot - Toño pulls off a brilliant reaction save to deny him a hat-trick and keep his side in the game.

Brahimi plays a one-two and is in behind on the left with men in the middle - he shoots and Valdes saves into the side-netting! A goal-kick is awarded - harsh. He beats the floor in frustration.

Brahimi, on loan from Rennes, cannot get a shot on goal through the bodies on the edge of the box.

Four minutes to be added on.

Siqueira cross runs free in the box and Barca just hack it clear.

Nyom up front now for Granada as they go looking for an equaliser...

The ball is played out to the right and when the cross comes in, Iñigo Lopez is all alone - but puts his header straight at Valdes! He could have squared it, but should have scored.

Thiago booked for a late tackle - Granada have a chance to pump a free-kick into the box.

Iniesta finds Tello in space on the right and he has time to pull the trigger - his strike rises just over the bar! Should have scored.

Tello rampaging down the right, cutting inside from the byline and finding Messi - his shot is hooked over.

Little happening other than Barcelona passing a football around at leisure.

Great tackle by Sergio Busquets, who hasn't been obvious tonight but has done his usual defensive/linking job.

Barca keeping the ball, working Granada ever harder. They must be running out of energy. No need for the away side to come forward now.

Granada change: Torje replaced by Yacine Brahimi. /// @TheJoeSawaya: "Of the 300 goals, how many are against Chelsea? #justsaying"

That's a joke, naturally.

Just before it was taken, Iniesta came on for Pedro. Instant impact by the impish Iniesta.

GOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLL MESSSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahem. I mean goal for Messi... The mini maestro whips a brilliant free-kick inside the post from 30 yards! 2-1 to Barca.
