Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Super Copa first leg between Sevilla and Barcelona. We'll bring you all the goals and action as it happens. Kick-off: 21.00.

Of course, Messi has Suarez alongside him to pick up the slack. The former Liverpool striker was Barcelona's top goalscorer last season. Can he repeat the feat this season?

Messi hasn't made much of an impression in these opening 10 minutes, although it is still early for the Argentine. He sometimes takes time to reach top form season on season.

Of course, Barcelona started last season slowly. There were real questions against them as they lost to Athletic Bilbao in the Super Copa. They'll be looking to avoid that this season.

Barcelona have endured a difficult pre-season at times. They lost to Liverpool 4-0 in a friendly just a couple weeks ago. They must raise their game quickly to get up to speed.

BIG CHANCE FOR SUAREZ! The Barcelona strikers latches on to a mistake by a Sevilla defender and fires off a low shot at goal. However, Rico gets down well to make the stop.

Although Sampaoli almost didn't take the job at Sevilla. He was lined up by the Spanish club, then had his head turned by the vacancy at Argentina. In the end, he took charge at Sevilla.

There has been a change of manager at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan over the summer. Unai Emery has left to go take over at PSG, with Jorge Sampaoli taking his place. Good appointment.

Sevilla were seconds away from winning the European Super Cup on Tuesday night. They eventually lost out to Real Madrid, but they showed signs of how good they can be.

Both managers have picked the strongest line-ups available. Enrique has gone with the front two of Messi and Suarez, with Neymar still at the Olympics with the Brazilian team.

So here we go. The competitive season kicks off in Spain. Both these sides will be looking to start their campaigns with some silverware. Of course, this is just the first leg.

The match is under way! It's Sevilla against Barcelona in the first leg of the Super Copa!
