Time:90'- Sevilla
- Barcelona
90+4 Final whistle goes at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, and Barcelona will be the happier of the two sides! Thanks for joining us, remember we will have more LIVE Liga action tomorrow. Hasta Pronto!
90' Diego Capel turns Oleguer and breaks away as the clock ticks over into stoppage time. He is surrounded by two defenders who force him wide but they can't stop the shot... The ball flashes across Valdes' goal and JUST wide of the far post!- 88' Giovani collides head-first into Escude and makes the most of the clash, but the referee dismisses it. Less than a minute later 'Drago' does earn a booking, and Ronaldinho will have another chance to win the match for Barcelona...
- 85' A frantic spell infront of the Sevilla goal as Xavi's corner goes all the way to Messi at the far post, and the Argentinian knocks it back across the face of goal but no one can get a touch! The scramble is over when Dragutinovic is fouled.
83' Jesus Navas' impressive showing is over as he is replaced by Maresca. Diego Capel forces the listake from Oleguer and VOLLEYS... Off target!- 79' Ronaldinho's free kick doesn't make it over the wall and the chance has gone. He has been disappointing again tonight.
78' Keita sends Messi tumbling on the edge of the area and gets a second yellow... He's off! That was certainly a foul, but the red card is harsh considering the first was a mistake by the official. The free kick is in a great position, and Ronaldinho is standing over it...
76' GOOOOOOOL!! Xavi anticipates the through ball from Messi and pounces to poke it underneath Palop and in for the equaliser!- 74' Luis Fabiano fires in a low ball across the face of goal and Marquez almost steers it into his own net! Luckily for Barca and the Mexican, the deflection hits Valdes' shins and the keeper can dive onto the loose ball!
- 72' Sevilla have a free kick and Luis Fabiano insists on taking it. He takes a big run-up and blasts it well over the bar! Don't be surprised if Dani ALves gets the next one!
70' Leo Messi goes into the book for a foul on Correia, to go with the one Keita earned moments ago for a perfectly-good tackle on Gudjohnsen.- 65' Jesus Navas gets another man booked tonight as Eric Abidal bowls him over.
- 64' Fredi Kanoute gets a great ovation as he comes off to be replaced by Renato.
- 60' Barcelona are not giving the ball away at the moment. xavi brings it forward through the middle and FANCIES A CRACK... Dragged wide of the target. With time and space like that, a player of Xavi's class should have done better.
- 58' Henry is replaced by Eidur Gudjohnsen. The Frenchman was holding his thigh as he went off, which could spell even more bad news for Barca's title chase.
- 56' Henry feeds Iniesta in the area, and he tries to pick out a pass but the Sevilla area is too full of white shirts. Better play from Bacelona though.
- 54' Alves knocks Henry off-balance and the Frenchman wins a free kick. Its about 35 yards out, but Ronaldinho looks like he may shoot. He floats in a pass but Escude heads away easily.
- 49' Xavi releases Henry with another inch-perfect pass. Henry outstrips Poulsen and squares a ball across the box, but its knocked behind for a corner.
- 48' Henry lays the ball back to Ronaldinho for a shot from the edge of the box, but its scufffed and rolls tamely to Palop!
- 46' Ronaldinho has his first touch and gives the ball away, much to the delight of the Sevilla fans! Diego Capel gets down the wing to cross to Luis Fabiano, who is outmuscled in the air by Abidal.
- 46' Can this beffed up Barcelona side rescue something from this match? All will be revealed soon as the second half kicks off.
- HT Ronaldinho and Rafa Marquez will replace Oleguer and Edmilson for the second half.
- 45+1' Half time at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan and Sevilla are good for their lead after 45 minutes of high quality football.
- 45' Andres Iniesta cynically blocks Jesus Navas with a shoulder barge, and receives a yellow card for his troubles.
- 40' Jesus Navas whips in another free kick and KEITA... Headed wide! He really should have done better!
- 36' Luis Fabiano runs onto the ball in a central area. The defenders back off, inviting him to shoot, which he does... Wide of the post! Barcelona are under some pressure now!
- 34' GOOOOOOOOOOL!! Jesus Navas plays a great ball across the face of goal and Diego Capel is at the far post to tap in his first senior goal for Sevilla!!
- 33' Capel charges down the left and curls in a wonderful cross for KANOUTE TO VOLLEY... GREAT SAVE VALDES!! Kanoute was unmarked at the far post to sidefoot the effort first time but Victor Valdes scrambled it away almost on the line!
- 30' Kanoute powers past Thuram to the byline. He spins and cuts a pass back for LUIS FABIANO... WIDE OF THE NEAR POST! The Brazilian came steaming in to meet the pass but sidefooted wide!
- 29' Barca have a free kick. Xavi curls in a dangerous looking ball that is JUST over Messi's head! All it needed was a touch.
- 25' Alves is ready to strike another free kick, this time a bit further out but further infield from the left wing. He shoots... Right into the wall. Not a good free kcik, but if he keeps on getting the chances then Barca will get punished.
- 24' Kanoute has the ball in the box with his back to goal. He goes down under duress from Thuram and Abidal... No penalty! The referee was well-placed, and indicates a goal kick and will hear nothing more on the matter!
- 22' Thierry Henry hits a pass upfield to no one and then somehow contrives to win a foul from Christian Poulsen! Barca bring it upfield but Merssi's shot is blocked.
- 20' Xavi lifts over a well-weighted ball for Giovani to chase, and he collides with Palop as the keeper slides out to collect it.
- 17' Gabi Milito is the first player to go into referee Vitienes' book for a foul on the left wing. Alves fires the ball across to Dragutinovic at the far post, but its overhit.
- 12' Xavi cushions the ball beautifully and he feeds Henry in the area... Palop is quick off his line to smother it! Messi would have had a tap-in if Henry had got the ball across.
- 9' Dani Alves hits a fierce strike that still has sufficient curl to trouble Valdes, who palms it away two-handed and the ball is hacked to safety.
- 8' Oleguer bundles into Capel, who goes sprawling on the floor, rolling over about six or seven times. It was a clumsy challenge, but let's not get carried away! Alves is standing over the ball, he looks ready to shoot...
- 6' The ball finds Kanoute and it sits up nicely for him to strike... Way over the bar from Africa's Player of the Year (that turned up to the award ceremony).
- 5' Messi zips into the Sevilla box on the left-hand side and shoots... A tame effort straight at Palop.
- 3' Dani Alves intercepts Iniesta to break down a Barca attack and instigate a break. The Brazilian then ruins the move he started with a poor pass infield to Jesus Navas.
- 1' Welcome to LIVE coverage of Sevilla v Barcelona from Eurosport-Yahoo! This is a huge match at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan between to of Spain's most eye-catching teams. Thierry Henry and Leo Messi start for Barca, while a trim-looking Ronaldinho is on the bench. Fredi Kanoute is back in the Sevillla attack to partner goal-machine Luis Fabiano. The match is underway!
