    Now it's all kicking off on the touchline.

    It's hard to tell what is going on, but Diego Simeone is acting as peacemaker!

    It ends with yellow cards for Dani Olmo and Marc Pubill.

  6. RED CARDpublished at 85 mins

    Atletico Madrid 4-0 Barcelona

    Red card! Eric Garcia is given his marching orders for the denial of a goal-scoring opportunity. No complaints from the defender as he heads down the tunnel.

    The night goes from bad to worse for Barcelona.

    Eric Garcia could be in trouble here.

    Atletico Madrid 4-0 Barcelona

    Eric Garcia is shown a yellow card for a rash challenge on Alex Baena.

    Atletico Madrid 4-0 Barcelona

    Dani Olmo goes to strike from range but he slips to the floor in the process...I think that probably sums up Barcelona's night.

    Double change for Barcelona as Pau Cubarsi and Alejandro Balde are replaced by Ronald Araujo and Joao Cancelo.

    A well-deserved cheer for Lookman as he is substituted.

    It's hard to believe this was only his third game for Atletico with the way he played today.

    He had a phenomenal first-half and has another goal to add to his quickly growing tally.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 73 mins

    Atletico Madrid 4-0 Barcelona

    Goal-scorer Ademola Lookman is replaced by Thiago Almada.

    Several of the Barcelona defenders will be happy to see the back of Lookman after the shift he's put in for Atletico tonight. He's been sensational.

  18. Postpublished at 67 mins

    Atletico Madrid 4-0 Barcelona

    Even if Barcelona were able to get within two goals of Atletico Madrid, they would surely back themselves to turn it around in next month's second leg.

    After all, the La Liga leaders have scored a staggering 99 goals across all competitions this season.

  19. Almost a sell-outpublished at 21:28 GMT

    BBC Sport Spanish football reporter at Riyadh Air Metropolitano

    Over 68,000 fans have packed out the Metropolitano this evening, that's almost at full-capacity.

    They are absolutely loving what they're seeing! They're 4-0 up to the current Copa holders and La Liga front runners.

  20. Postpublished at 63 mins

    Atletico Madrid 4-0 Barcelona

    Barcelona came flying out of the blocks after the break, so to have a goal chalked off and an eight-minute halt in play is far from ideal.

    It will be interesting to see how Hansi Flick's side react.
