Half time
The home side are absolutely thrashing Sevilla, with MSN at full blast. Suarez and a Messi brace give Barca a comfortable lead.
Barcelona want another!
Three for Barcelona
Another one for the league's top scorer. Following a corner the ball is knocked from on side to another until it falls to Messi, who bangs it home to make it 27 goals this season.
GOAL!
What a second for Barca!
Another great move by Barca. They break well and Rakitic passes for Neymar in space. His ball goes past the goal without a touch but Suarez makes a great run to the back post to pull it back into the middle. Messi is waiting there and calmly finishes past Rico.
GOAL!
Barcelona lead with a great strike!
What a goal by Suarez. Messi with a run down the right, he gets to the byline and pulls the ball back for the Uruguayan. The ball is deflected and looping in the air, but the striker improvises with a bicycle kick fired past Sergio Rico. Brilliant from Suarez.
GOAL!
Chance Sevilla!
A set piece in which the Barcelona defence is nowhere to be seen, Vitolo heads well over.
Chance Barca!
Iniesta crosses into the box for Rakitic, but his header goes wide.
Sevilla so close!
After a throw in N'Zonzi finds himself through on Ter Stegen. His low shot goes out after rebounding off the keeper's inner thigh. Barca relief.
Yellow card Pique
It was a strong challenge on Correa as he skipped away.
It is all Barcelona at the moment
The visitors cannot string two passes together, and Barca creating danger. Iniesta's shot is saved by Rico.
Barca hit the crossbar!
Sevilla's 5-man defence are proving tough to penetrate, but Leo Messi finds a way and his curling shot hits the crossbar. That was very close.
High pressure from Barca
Barcelona immediately take possession and begin to look for a way to break down Sevilla.
Sevilla get the ball rolling!
Everything ready for kick off!
Iniesta and Iborra shake hands with the officials. A minute's silence is being held.
