FULL TIME - BARCELONA 0-0 RAYO VALLECANO
It's a disappointing start for Barca, who fail to break the deadlock and have to settle for a point in their opening game.
NO GOAL!
Rayo think they have won it after Falcao bundles the ball into the back of the net, but he's flagged for offside.
BUSQUETS SEES RED!
And, just like that, Busquets is off. He catches Falcao with a stray elbow and can have no complaints really.
Red card
S. Busquets
AND ANOTHER
Dimitrievski is booked for timewasting which, in fairness, has been a long time coming (no pun intended). Someone's going to get sent off here if it carries on like this.
Yellow card
S. Dimitrievski
ANOTHER BOOKING
Ciss is the next player to go into the book after dragging back Lewandowski as he looks to break.
Yellow card
P. Ciss
NO GOAL!
Kessie has the ball in the back of the net, but he's well offside. The celebrations at Camp Nou are abruptly cut short.
GOALLINE CLEARANCE!
Lewandowski flashes a cross to Aubameyang, who thumps a shot at goal only for Catena to clear it off the line. Lewandowski fires wide on the follow-up.
XAVI MAKES HIS FINAL CHANGE
... bringing on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for Jordi Alba as he chases a late winner.

ANOTHER CHANGE FOR BARCA

LEWANDOWSKI WANTS A PENALTY
... but it's a soft one, really, and Hernandez Hernandez ignores Barcelona's appeals.
FALCAO PICKS UP A CAUTION
The veteran forward brings down Busquets, drawing the ire of the referee.
Yellow card
R. Falcao
GREAT GOALKEEPING!
Busquets unleashes a rocket which looks to be sailing into the top corner, but Dimitrievski makes another acrobatic save.

BIG SAVE!
Dembele produces a clever cutback to set up Fati, who thunders a shot at goal. Dimitrievski leaps to his left and palms it away.
DE JONG GOES DOWN IN THE BOX
... after a silky through-ball from Pedri but, again, the referee isn't interested.
TRIPLE SUB FOR BARCA
Xavi rings the changes, bringing on Frenkie de Jong, Sergi Roberto and Ansu Fati for Gavi, Christensen and Raphinha.
