End of match

94'

WHAT A GREAT GAME!!! Atletico Madrid celebrate as they are through to the Super Cup final to face Real Madrid. Such a fast-paced, action-packed game that could have gone either way, especially as Barca dominated for many parts of it and had two goals disallowed which could have made all the difference. In the end, late luck from a penalty and an unfortunate deflection send Atletico Madrid through to the final Final Score 2-3!
92'

Messi has a shot late on, but his header goes over the bar!
90'

4 minutes added time!!! A little short considering all the goals and the disallowed ones

Just before the goal Busquets went off for Barca and his place is taken by Ivan Rakitic

85'

GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL!!!

Morata steps up and doesn't miss, as he sends the keeper the wrong way and confidently slots it into the back of the net. All level again now!!

79'

ATLETICO HAVE A PENALTY!!!

77'

What a chance for Atletico!!! Umtiti receives the ball from a pass back and Correa comes out of nowhere to snatch it off him, he has a shot but the keeper manages to block it, Joao Felix is there for the rebound in what is basically an open net, but his shot hits the post!!!
77'

Barca have had 62% of possession in this half, compared to Atletico's 38%

76'

Vidal goes into the book!

75'

Vidal was just offside when he received the ball and so the goal does not count, still 2-1!
73'

Messi's free kick reaches Vidal, who is near the far post and just slides the ball over to the other side for Pique, who is there and does not hesitate to slide the ball into the back of the net. Currently being checked by VAR for offside

73'

NOW IT'S THREE!

72'

Llorente has only just come on and already goes into the book for a challenge on Messi, giving away a free kick 30 yards out

71'

Final change for Atletico, Koke must be injured as the man who came on as a sub himself is replaced by Llorente!

Substitution

Off...

Renan Lodi

Vitolo

67'

Another change for Atletico, as Lodi comes off in exchange for Vitolo

65'

It is all Barcelona at the moment, as shot after shot is being aimed at Oblak, who is doing well not to let any more in at the moment!
62'

Suarez's first attempt from a header is dealt with well by Oblak, but Griezmann is there for the rebound and sneakily heads the ball into the back of the net. Sloppy from Atletico and it is costing them!

BUT IT IS NOT LONG BEFORE THEY GET ANOTHER!!!!

61'

THE GOAL IS DISALLOWED!!! Still 1-1!
59'

Messi makes it 2-1! What a strike it is too, as the ball falls to Messi in the box, who has to fight with two defenders and get past them, then he just simply and neatly strikes it into the far bottom corner. The goal is currently being checked by VAR for a handball, to see whether it hit Messi's arm on the way down

59'

MESSI IS ON FIRE!!!!!!

55'

Griezmann tries his luck from the edge of the box, but the keeper jumps up and gets to the ball, denying Barca the lead
53'

Messi tries for a second as he gets the ball again, but he aims straight at the keeper who easily deals with it.
50'

Two goals in five minutes, as Messi equalises for Barcelona!!! Suarez gets the ball but is scuffling with it a little in between two defenders and Messi comes and takes over, taking the ball off him and having a shot from just inside the box, his powerful shot does not miss and his team are back in the game now!! 1-1

50'

AND JUST LIKE THAT!!!

49'

Lodi is offside as he receives the ball near the centre and aims to run one on one to the keeper, but the flag goes up

Barca have a corner as they look to try and repair the damage done in the first few seconds. The corner is passed into the middle of the half and comes to nothing, as it goes out for a goal kick
45'

What a way to start the second half!!! Atletico have the kick off and Joao Felix starts it all off with a pass to Correa outside the box, but he struggles to control it and so flicks it on to new sub Koke, who has just come on, Koke, who came on for Herrera, is calm and confident and just slots the ball into the bottom corner and past the keeper! Atletico in the lead early in the second half

45'

GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL!!!!!!

45'

The players are out and the second half is underway!
45'

A little fight breaks out at the end of the first half, after Joao Felix confronts Messi as he is walking off and all the players get involved. Felix goes into the book for it and Suarez is also booked for the part he had to play. An interesting end to what has been an action-packed first half filled with many shots, mainly from Barcelona! Surely one of these two teams can break the deadlock in the second half!
45'

Jordi Alba heads the ball towards the far post, but his shot goes wide!

13'

We have kick off!! Barca get tonight's game underway!

Kick off soon!!

Trippier spoke out for Atletico and stated that his team are ready for the "big task". "We have to listen to the coach's tactics to try to earn the result we want. "We know that Barcelona are a fantastic team, one of the best in the world. But we've got to think about ourselves. We've earned fantastic results recently, so we're confident."
PRVW

Valverde said before the game: We need to be alert because anything can happen. It is a knockout game - the team who wins will go through to the final - so we are treating it like a league match. "We will be looking for the victory and we know how Atletico play. We saw with the last league game that it was a tight game but we were able to win it."
PRVW

Lets recall the last time these two teams met. Atletico and Barcelona played each other at the Metropolitano and Barca won thanks to a goal from Messi five minutes before the end! Can Atletico get revenge tonight?
PRVW

Although Vidal is close to a move to Inter, Valverde still put him in the starting XI. He has been one of the best players for Barca in their last few games
PRVW

Diego Simeone’s men welcome back Stefan Savic to the squad and have even taken summer signing Ivan Saponjic despite him yet to appear since joining in July. Could the young Serb make the difference? Lemar's absence here will only fuel the transfer rumours currently going round
PRVW

Barca are without goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen who is trying to let a persistent knee problem heal itself. They are also without Arthur and Ousmane Dembélé, neither of whom are fit to travel.
PRVW

Atletico: Oblak (GK); Savic, Felipe, Renan Lodi, Trippier; Herrera, Thomas, Saul, Correa; Morata, Joao Felix
PRVW

Barcelona: Neto (GK); Umtiti, Pique, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto; Busquets, De Jong, Vidal; Griezmann, Suarez, Messi
