GOAL! BARCELONA 1-0 CELTA VIGO (DEPAY)
Depay finishes the move, but it's all about Dembele. He shows an electrifying change of pace as he skips past two players on the right flank before squaring it across the box for Depay to slot home.

MORE FRUSTRATION FOR BARCA
De Jong looks for Depay on the edge of the box, who plays a decoy lets it run through his legs thinking Aubameyang has a run in behind him, but it's so easy for the defender to clear up.
25'
POOR FROM TORRES
He hasn't had any impact on this game so far, and as he tries to run at Vazquez, kicks the ball out.
Frustartion's starting to grow amongst the Barca fans, but it's very early days yet.
22'
AT THE HALFWAY POINT OF THE OPENING SPELL
It's finely balanced so far, although the visitors could argue they've been slightly on top - they've certainly had the best chance of the game so far.

ASPAS ON DEFENSIVE DUTIES
Torres tries to get the better of the striker on the left-hand side, but the Celta Vigo captain does well to contain him.
17'
CERVI WANTS A PENALTY
He drives into the Barca penalty area and feels Alves tugged his shirt as he's dispossessed. All he'll get is a corner though.
14'
HUGE CHANCE CELTA!
It's a big challenge from Araujo who challenges Aspas after initially playing a weak ball back to Ter Stegen, gifting the Celta Vigo captain a one-on-one before making a last-ditch challenge to win the ball back. Well recovered!
13'
WELL TIDIED UP BY AIDOO
Dembele is almost through on goal after Gavi finds his run down the right, but Aidoo is quick to get across and dribble out.
11'
ALVES APOLOGY
He hammers a ball towards goal speculatively from 30 yards out, but instantly puts his hand up to apologise to the Barca faithful as it heads miles over the bar.
10'
GARCIA DEFENDS WELL
Mendez tries to work his way into the box with the ball at his feet but Garcia holds him off well to recover the ball just a few yards from the Barca goal.
8'
DEPAY SHOWS QUALITY GOING FORWARD
He skips past his man with effortless skill before looking to unleash Aubameyang, but his through ball is slightly over hit.
7'
AIDOO LOOKS FOR VAZQUEZ
It could have been a dangerous looped ball on the right flank, but Alba cuts it out.
5'
ALMOST FALLS NICELY FOR MEMPHIS
Barcelona were nearly away then but as Depay turned his defender 25 yards from goal, the ball popped up and struck his hand.
3'
ALBA COMMITS THE FIRST FOUL
It's a heavy challenge on Aspas on the halfway line, he's certainly let him know he's there!
