GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Barcelona 1 Leganes 1 (58 mins - Martin Braithwaite). Game on! En-Nesyri was played down the right side, he squared the pass for Braithwaite in the middle and the Danish striker was on hand to finish from close range! He's scored against Barcelona and Real Madrid in the space of just a few days!
Goal
M. Braithwaite
Wide of the goal! Suarez gets the shot away from the edge of the box, but the ball was caught under his feet a little bit and Cuellar watches as it drifts well wide of the far post.
With Messi missing, Barcelona needed someone to make something happen for them in the attacking third. That's something that has been embraced by Dembele. He's been brilliant.
It should be noted that Alena saw yellow for his late tackle on Omeruo, who was fine to continue.
Yellow card
C. Aleña
Omeruo down! This will be a concern for Pellegrino. Omeruo has hit the ground after a bad tackle from Alena and the Leganes man will have to receive some treatment here.
Messi has been sent to go warm up down the touchline by Valverde and that prompts a huge cheer from the supporters inside Camp Nou. The tourists are desperate to see him!
This certainly hasn't been a vintage performance from Barcelona, but Valverde will be pleased with how his team have been in complete control of the match so far. Well on top.
Dembele has the best player on the pitch in the first half and he has started the second half in the same way. The French winger gives Barcelona something different in the attacking third.
Coutinho... over! Lovely backheel flick from Dembele on the edge of the Leganes box to set up Coutinho for the shot from 18 yards out, but he sends his effort over the crossbar.
In case you missed the opening goal...
In truth, this hasn't been the best match so far. Will we see a more ambitious Leganes side in the next 45 minutes? That could open up the match and even prompt Barca into life.
The second half is under way! Barcelona have a 1-0 lead over Leganes at Camp Nou.
What did you make of the first half at Camp Nou? What chances can Pellegrino make to get Leganes back into this match? Does Coutinho need to step things up? Tweet me!
HALF TIME: Barcelona 1-0 Leganes. As already said, this has been a comfortable half for Barcelona, with Dembele's goal the difference between the two sides after 45 minutes.
This has been a comfortable first half for Barcelona. Leganes have been well-organised, especially at the back, but they'll need to show more ambition if they want to get something from this.
VAR review! Well, the officials have had a look at the incident involving Cuellar and Suarez and they have decided that the original 'no penalty' claim should stand. Interesting.
Penalty claim! Suarez believes that he should have been awarded a penalty. Cuellar rushed out, Suarez rounded the keeper, there was contact, but there was a delayed reaction from the striker.
