  1. Buenas nochespublished at 21:45

    Look, we've all got homes to get to, so I'll leave you there. Twelve goals in two games, I don't think we've had a bad day today.

    Unless you're a fan of Sporting Gijon. Or Athletic Bilbao. Or you're the Athletic keeper. Or Iker Muniain.

    Good night.

    It could all have been so different had Javier Eraso not chipped his shot over in the second minute.

    Barca broke from that and won the penalty - which came with a red card for Athletic's keeper - to start the rout.

    Also how unlucky for Iker Muniain - making his first La Liga start of the season following a serious injury. He was the man replaced by the sub keeper after four minutes.

    Neymar is inches from getting his second. Aleix Vidal puts in a cross from the right but the Brazilian forward misjudges his jump and misses the ball.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 86 mins

    Javier Eraso, who missed a couple of decent chances today, is booked for kicking Javier Mascherano from behind. 

    A last five minutes of five-a-side when you're knackered kind of tackle.

    It's so easy for Barcelona, who have been excellent to watch tonight - admittedly against 10 men. A Sergio Busquets cross comes in from the right and Luis Suarez powers home a header.

    Time for a seventh?

    Neymar is a sublime footballer when he's on form, he takes the ball in his stride with a brilliant touch, goes on a run and then tries to go around the keeper by rolling the ball under his foot but it's saved.

    Barca have a free-kick but Neymar fires the shot over. Will Barca find a sixth in the final 10 minutes or so?
