90' GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! PEDRI NOTCHES BARCA'S FIFTH!!!! 5-2!!!! The teenager slots the ball home at the back post to notch his first goal in LaLiga for Barcelona. Sergi Roberto is the architect with a sublime low ball across the face of goal. Pedri races in unmarked to scoop a left-footed strike into the back of the net.
82' GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! MESSI PUTS THE GAME BEYOND DOUBT!!! 4-2!!!! The Argentine hammers home his second of the game. Sergi Roberto releases Messi in the right inside channel with a brilliant backheel. The forward holds his composure as he rifles a powerful left-footed stirke past Bravo into the top-right corner.
73' GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! MORON HANDS BETIS A LIFELINE!!!! 3-2!!!! The visitors are back in the game, despite being down to 10 men. Moreno runs at the Barca defence down the left flank and forces a low ball into the box. No one picks up Moron in the middle and he blasts a strike into the right corner of the net from six yards out. Game on.
61' GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! MESSI CONVERTS!!!! 3-1 BARCELONA!!!! The Argentine shows Griezmann how it should be done from 12 yards. Messi hammers his effort high into the top-right corner away from the hand of Bravo into the back of the net.
49' GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! GRIEZMANN SCORES!!!! 2-1 BARCELONA!!!! The Frenchman atones for his miss in the first half, but Messi must take a huge credit for the goal. Alba surges down the left flank and sends a low ball towards the Argentine. Bravo and Mandi commit themselves as Messi shapes to shoot. However, he dummies the cross and allows Griezmann to coast in behind him to slot the ball into an empty net.

45' + 2' GOALL!!!! SANABRIA LEVELS BEFORE THE BREAK!! 1-1!! Betis are back in the game on the stroke of half-time. Canales is allowed to surge at the Barca defence before offloading to Tello on the left flank. He sends a low cross into the middle that finds its way to Sanabria, who pokes a strike past Ter Stegen from six yards out. The perfect time to score for the visitors.
33' MISS! Griezmann fails to convert from 12 yards. He sends a tame left-footed strike towards the left corner, but Bravo guesses the right way and palms his effort away from danger.
31' PENALTY TO BARCELONA! Mandi sticks out a leg and brings down Fati in the box as he tries to attack a low cross from Alba. The referee points to the spot.
22' GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! DEMBELE PUTS BARCA AHEAD!!!! 1-0!!! The Frenchman scores a stunner to find the back of the net. Dembele collects a pass from Griezmann in the right inside channel and cuts back on to his left foot. He launches a powerful effort into the top-left corner giving Bravo no chance. A super effort from the winger.
21' Tello collects 25 yards from goal and lines up a strike from distance, but he sends his effort straight into the hands of Ter Stegen.
18' Dembele has a charge down the right flank and he tries to send in a cross, but Moreno does enough to fend him off and earn a goal-kick for the visitors.
17' WIDE! Moreno has acres of space down the left flank and he lets fly with a strike at goal from the inside channel, only to drag his shot wide of the right post.
13' Both teams are playing open football in the early stages of the game. However, the quality in finishing in the final third has not been up to standard yet.
11' WIDE! Chances continue to come thick and fast. Griezmann runs at the Betis defence and shoots from the edge of the box on his right foot. He pokes his effort just wide of the right post with Bravo beaten.
9' SHOT! Fati runs down the right flank on the counter and blasts a low strike towards the near post. Bravo sticks out a leg to divert it away from the net.
8' SAVE! Ter Stegen is on his mettle to deny Carvalho. The Portuguese rises highest in the box to direct Canales' corner towards goal, but the German gets across to palm it away from danger.

6' WIDE! Fati runs at the Betis defence down the left flank and goes for a curling strike on his right foot towards the bottom-right corner. However, his effort just trickles wide of the target.
5' CHANCE! Fati pounces on a Betis mistake at the back and surges into the box in the right inside channel. He cuts an offload back to Griezmann, who lines up a left-footed strike, but sends his effort wide of the left post.
