Who needs Lionel Messi? Barcelona got the job done comfortably without the forward which means not only will he have been able to spend time with his newborn son, but will also be fresh for Chelsea.

Barcelona go 11 points clear of Atletico Madrid with that win, their 22nd of the season.

Malaga, meanwhile, are rooted to the foot of the table and 11 points from safety.

Not looking good for them.

As comfortable as you'd like.

The 90 minutes are up and we're into the first of two minutes added on.

Barcelona are going to go into the Chelsea game with plenty of energy.

Superb defending by Ricca as he times a sliding tackle to perfection to clip the ball away from Philippe Coutinho inside the area just as he was about to shoot.

Final change for Barcelona as Aleix Vidal comes on for Ousmane Dembele.

Luis Suarez is booked for a heavy tackle and that means he will miss Barcelona's next La Liga game through suspension.

Barcelona going through the motions now as they wind down the clock.

A double change for Malaga as Youssef En-Nesyri and Diego Rolan are replaced by a couple of players with Premier League experience. Isaac Success, on loan from Watford, and ex-West Brom forward Brown Ideye come on.

Jordi Alba - who has been excellent in this game - is replaced now by Lucas Digne. He slots straight into left back.

Another disappointing free-kick by Luis Suarez as he bends it wide of the near post.

Jordi Alba sends a low ball across the face of goal. Very inviting but no-one's there.

Barcelona make a change as Sergi Roberto is replaced by Andre Gomes.

Surprised one of Barcelona's attacking players is not being taken off to save legs with one eye on the Chelsea game.

Not been a great second half, it has to be said. The two first-half goals have really killed it off as a contest.

A rare attack by Malaga has substitute Maxime Lestienne sets off on a dangerous weaving run. He's in shooting position but doubts himself and instead goes for a cross but hits it way beyond his team-mate.

Lovely crisp strike by Ousmane Dembele as he shoots first time from Sergi Roberto's cutback but another good save by Roberto Jimenez. The Malaga keeper has had a great game.

Paulinho heads wide from Philippe Coutinho's corner.

Malaga make a change as Chory Castro is replaced by fellow midfielder Maxime Lestienne.

Philippe Coutinho launches a shot from 35 yards well over the bar. Malaga briefly have the ball but soon give it back to Barcelona. A very comfortable evening for the visitors.

Barcelona looking very comfortable without pressing too hard, they'll have one eye on the upcoming Champions League game with Chelsea.

A free-kick for Barcelona just outside the box. It's a great position but no Lionel Messi so Luis Suarez takes it and his effort is poor as he whacks it straight into the wall.
