ATTACK VS DEFENCE
Barcelona have the visitors pinned deep inside their own half, and they're only inviting more trouble. Depay carves inside from the left flank and once again goes for goal, but once again failing to find the target .
WIDE
Depay is looking to double his tally with an ambitious effort from range but on this occasion he fails to test the goalkeeper.
ANOTHER YELLOW CARD
Two in a matter of minutes as Genier - only on the pitch a matter of minutes - has his name taken for a foul on Busquets.
