End of 2nd Half

90+4'

Barca pressing for a late winner as Raphinha has a shot blocked before the ball across the face of goal finds nobody waiting to convert. Torres then almost in for the winner, but Valencia scramble clear before the full-time whistle goes. It ends 1-1.

WE ARE HEADING FOR SIX ADDED MINUTES

Can any of these teams find a late winner? Barca trying to find the magic touch in the closing seconds of a breathless encounter.

RAPHINHA ALMOST ONTO A LOOSE BALL OVER THE TOP

Almost, but not quite. Just can't control the pass as it comes off his boot and spins wide of goal. Another chance gone.

CHANCE FOR BARCA TO WIN IT

Raphinha bursts through the middle to slam a shot at goal, but Mamardashvili is up to the task in making the block. Brilliant save by the Valencia keeper and Raphinha can't force home the rebound. Yarek Gasiorowski with a brilliant last-ditch tackle.

84'

A TRIPLE CHANGE FOR VALENCIA

Yarek Gasiorowski replaces Jesús Vázquez, Dimitri Foulquier is on for Diego López and Alberto Marí takes over from Hugo Duro for the home side.

WILL THERE BE A WINNER IN THIS GAME?

Pepelu cracks an effort at goal, but can't keep the shot down as it sails too high. It remains at 1-1.

80'

BARCA ALMOST RESTORE THE LEAD

Ferran Torres slams a shot at goal for Barca, but Giorgi Mamardashvili is equal to the task in making a fine stop. Still 1-1.

AND A CHANGE FOR THE HOME SIDE

71'

GOAL FOR VALENCIA! (GUILLAMON)

The equaliser from Hugo Guillamón as he coasts to the edge of the Barca box before slamming a shot high into the net with Iñaki Peña given no chance. His first start of the campaign. Awful defending by Barca in letting a cross bounce twice in their box. All over the place.

RAPHINHA DECIDES TO TRY HIS LUCK

Manages to keep the ball in play from out wide. Races into the box to fire a shot at goal, but Giorgi Mamardashvili dives low to left to make a solid stop.

68'

YELLOW CARD FOR VALENCIA!

Valencia are down to 10 men. A poor diving challenge by Fran Pérez on Ilkay Gündogan. VAR had a look at it. Could easily have been red, but stays yellow. Fortunate for Fran there.

Yellow card

F. Perez

Valencia CF

CHANCE FOR RAPHINHA TO GET A SHOT AWAY

But he decides to cross rather than go for goal and Gundogan has been penalised for a late challenge on Thierry Correia. And the chance is lost for Barca.

64'

VALENCIA DECIDE TO SHUFFLE THE PACK

First change of the night for the home side as Sergi Canós replaces Roman Yaremchuk.

MORE BARCA ATTACKING PLAY

Thierry Correia is forced to do some timely mopping up work at the back for Valencia after João Félix and Gundogan tried to combine in the final third.

Well, they are a demanding lot the Valencia fans. Wanting their side to unearth an equaliser from a contest that they've been well involved in.

VALENCIA ROBBED OF POSSESSION!

Lewandowski doing some super closing down work. Supplies João Félix to fire a shot at goal, but the white shirts do enough to block. That could have been a rapid second for Barca.
