36'

Well, Barcelona need that breakthrough! The visitors had played some attractive football, but they were struggling to create any chances until a moment of inspiration from Messi - and a fine finish from Alba - changed that.
30'
Jordi Alba has scored a goal for Barcelona! Assist by L. Messi.
ALBA! 1-0 BARCELONA! Messi drops deep into midfield and hits a wonderful, crisp throughball in behind to Alba and the defender collects it before racing into the box and lashing a vicious shot into the roof of the net from a tight angle!
It was a fantastic finish from Alba - the power on the shot left Herrera with no chance. But Messi's assist from the heart of midfield was excellent - there was a narrow window in which to pick out Alba, but he timed it perfectly and the execution ensured that the defender was clean through on goal!

Barcelona have started with plenty of intent, but another attacking move breaks down as Dest's return pass, in a one-two with Messi, is intercepted by David Garcia.
5'
Messi's clipped throughball looking for the run of Alba is intelligently cut out by Vidal.
