And the Spanish Super Cup Barcelona take on Cornella in the Copa del Rey in what will be something of a Catalan derby. The Segunda B team play just a matter of metres away from Espanyol’s stadium!

Alba is booked for arguing with the referee about... something.

After this match Barcelona face a tricky game against Real Sociedad in the semi final of the expanded Spanish Super Cup. They will be challenging opposition for Koeman and his players.
87'
Messi earned his rest. The Argentine has been in excellent form recently, but Koeman clearly wants to keep his best player fresh for upcoming games. Messi looked content to be subbed off.

85'
Into the wall! Pjanic takes the freekick on the edge of the box, but the Bosnian could only strike his effort into the Granada wall, which was solid this time. This game is done and dusted.
84'
Sent off! Granada have been reduced to 10 men late on here, with Vallejo shown a straight red card for bringing down Braithwaite after an excellent pass in behind by Puig.

The injury to Ansu has given Dembele a prolonged run in the first team and the French winger has, by and large, made the most of that opportunity. He has given Barcelona something a little different.

Dembele was impressive against Athletic Club. While he lacked the final product, it was the sort of performance that reminded us all why Barcelona spent so much to sign him in the first place. He’s been decent here too.

... and the next Barcelona change sees Puig come on. PUIG!

It will be interesting to see if any players come into Barcelona over the January transfer window. Of course, this is a club that is still facing some financial peril, so don’t expect them so spend much at all.
