Huesca are struggling to get hold of the ball. They need to throw everything at Barca for the final few moments.
90'
Two minutes of stoppage time to come...
87'
Huesca win a free-kick, and Juan Carlos forces another save out of Ter Stegen, but again he barely breaks a sweat while stopping the ball. If Huesca had more confidence, this could have been a different story this evening.
85'
Barcelona have been nowhere near their best this evening, and another side may have caused them problems. Huesca's lack of confidence and goals has helped Koeman's side stay in front with five minutes remaining.
84'
Javi Ontiveros gets yellow.
After a poor challenge, Ontiveros is shown a yellow card.
82'
Griezmann's introduction must have put Messi off, his free-kick sails over everybody and trickles out for a goal-kick.
81'
A. Griezmann enters the game and replaces M. Braithwaite.
While we wait for the former Atletico Madrid man, Barca have another free-kick...
Griezmann will get less than 10 minutes to catch Koeman's eye as he replaces Braithwaite.
80'
Griezmann looks like he will be the next man off the bench.
75'
Óscar Mingueza enters the game and replaces S. Dest.
M. Pjanić enters the game and replaces Sergio Busquets.
Pjanic is also on the field, replacing Busquets in the middle of the park.

Minute
Description
72'
Juan Carlos Real enters the game and replaces Jorge Pulido.
S. Okazaki enters the game and replaces Sergio Gómez.
David Ferreiro enters the game and replaces Jaime Seoane.
Huesca's third substitution sees Seoane replaced by Ferreiro.
Another change for the home side as Ruiz replaces Pulido.
Former Leicester City star Okazaki is now on the field, replacing Gomez for the final 18 minutes.
69'
Replays suggest Messi did the right thing to go for goal on that occasion. Braithwaite was not in a good position, meaning Messi could not square his pass.
65'
I. Doumbia enters the game and replaces Mikel Rico.
The first change of the night sees Doumbia replace Mikel Rico in the Huesca midfield.
62'
Huesca win a corner after a rare attack...
52'
Messi continues to drive Barcelona forward, but it may be time for Koeman to look at his bench. Griezmann has warmed up a few times, while Pjanic would also feel he could make an impact.
49'
Messi pops up in space on the edge of the Huesca box, but rather uncharacteristically, he has smashed the ball into the stands and out of play.
48'
Different half, same Barcelona. Koeman's men are dictating the play and forcing Huesca back into their own half inside the first few minutes of the second half.
46'
We are back underway, with neither side making a substitution at the break.
45'
HALF-TIME: HUESCA 0-1 BARCELONA.
43'
Over! Messi's latest effort curls over the crossbar and that his now his fifth shot towards goal. He would have already had his first goal if it was not for Fernandez a few moments ago.
42'
Messi wins another free-kick on the opposite side of the box...
39'
Barcelona clear their lines immediately and win a free-kick after a sloppy challenge on the edge of the box by Mir.
38'
Huesca win their first corner of the evening, and they are sending Siovas and Insua forward from the back.
35'
Huesca have managed to ride the storm for now, and they are trying to play out from the back. However, Mir has struggled to hold onto possession, and once he loses it, De Jong and Pedri are marching through midfield.
31'
Messi tries his luck from the edge of the area, but he can only fire his effort into the stands. In his defence, he appeared to slip as he let fly.
29'
Messi is warming up nicely now. He appears to be popping up everywhere for Barcelona, but he has yet to test Fernandez in the Huesca goal.
27'
F. de Jong has scored a goal for Barcelona! Assist by L. Messi.
Messi appears to have moved flanks for the time being, and he was given too much space on the left. His cross was superb, and that allowed De Jong to pick his spot.
GOAAALLLLLL - HUESCA 0-1 BARCELONA - De Jong shows composure and a calm head to fire the visitors into the lead, and it has been coming. Messi spotted his run into the box, and his cross was inch-perfect, allowing De Jong to climb and cushion the ball into the bottom corner.
25'
Jordi Alba is the latest Barcelona player to try his luck from inside the box, but he fails to direct his shot through a crowd of bodies. The left-back can only hit the side-netting, but Koeman will be pleased with the support play on show.
16'
Speaking of Ter Stegen, he may not have a save to make this evening. Not on this evidence anyway.
14'
In fairness to Huesca, they have done well to try and launch several counter-attacks, but they have failed to test Ter Stegen in the Barca goal.
12'
Huesca are hanging on at times, and it looks like Barcelona could score at any minute. The home side needs to do more in midfield to stop the flow of attacks.
5'
After a slow start, Barcelona are now starting to dictate the play, forcing Huesca into their own half.
3'
As of yet, we have had no chances, with Huesca trying to press early and put the Barcelona midfield under pressure.

The match is underway!
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the LaLiga clash between Huesca and Barcelona. After three games without a win, Huesca will be hoping to climb off the foot of the table, while Barcelona could move into the top five with all three points.
Huesca may be bottom of the table, but they are only four points away from safety. They have only lost once in their last six at home, but their only win came against Deportivo Alaves.
After their draw with Eibar last time out, Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman conceded a title challenge is unlikely, but he will still take confidence from their recent run. Koeman's side are unbeaten in their last five league games, while they have won three of their last four away from home in all competitions.

BARCELONA (4-3-3): Marc-Andre ter Stegen; Sergino Dest, Ronald Araujo, Clement Lenglet, Jordi Alba; Frenkie de Jong, Sergio Busquets, Pedri; Lionel Messi, Martin Braithwaite, Ousmane Dembele.
SUBS: Junior Firpo, Riqui Puig, Antoine Griezmann, Konrad De la Fuente, Iñaki Peña, Matheus Fernandes, Miralem Pjanic, Trincão, Carles Aleñá, Neto, Óscar Mingueza.
The two teams are out on the field of play and kick-off is moments away!
Messi has led by example and tried his luck on two occasions, but Koeman will still be pleased with the first 45 minutes. Barcelona have looked confident and worked well as a team; now they just need to kill the game off in the second half.
That is all for today's coverage, thanks for joining us. Goodbye!
Barcelona's win moves them up to fifth in the LaLiga table, while Huesca remain rooted to the bottom. Koeman's side are 10 points behind Atletico Madrid, who also have a game in hand over Barcelona.
