- 35' GOAL! Lionel Messi fires home to make it 3-0!

- 84' The supporters are chanting for Carlos Bacca. He replaces Gerard Moreno on 84 minute.
- 89' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Pervis Estupinan suffering a number of foals already.
- FC Barcelona celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
