    Barcelona 2-1 Valencia

    Valencia cross goes past everyone including Simone Zaza. Only 30 seconds to go now.

    Barcelona 2-1 Valencia

    Barcelona break from the corner and they should have sealed the game. Lionel Messi picks out Denis Suarez is loads of space but the sub shoots straight at Neto. Poor.

    Corner to Valencia as Gerard Pique hacks a clearance out of play.

    GOAL - Barcelona 2-1 Valenciapublished at 17:00 BST 14 April 2018

    Dani Parejo (87 mins)

    Game on?

    Valencia captain Dani Parejo steps up and takes the penalty. Marc-Andre ter Stegen guesses right but somehow the ball squirms under him and into the net. Uncharacteristic.

  11. PENALTY TO VALENCIApublished at 17:00 BST 14 April 2018

    Barcelona 2-0 Valencia

    Not Ousmane Dembele's finest contribution. He hacks down Andreas Pereira just after the winger put a cross in. Penalty.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:58 BST 14 April 2018

    Barcelona 2-0 Valencia

    It's reached that stage of a game where everyone is making staggered substitutions - Denis Suarez replaces captain Andres Iniesta for Barcelona.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:54 BST 14 April 2018

    Barcelona 2-0 Valencia

    Valencia striker Simone Zaza, whose goalscoring has dried up dramatically after Christmas, is on for Rodrigo.

    Ten minutes left.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:53 BST 14 April 2018

    Barcelona 2-0 Valencia

    One of the most expensive substitutions possible in football - Ousmane Dembele (£96.8m, potentially rising to £135.5m) is on for Philippe Coutinho (£105m, potentially rising to £142m).

  15. Postpublished at 16:52 BST 14 April 2018

    Barcelona 2-0 Valencia

    Great run by Lionel Messi at Valencia's defence, he takes on about four or five players, and then shoots literally inches wide of the post from 20 yards.

  16. Postpublished at 16:51 BST 14 April 2018

    Barcelona 2-0 Valencia

    Valencia have their 15th shot of the game (to Barca's 10) but Dani Parejo's effort is right at Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:49 BST 14 April 2018

    Barcelona 2-0 Valencia

    Valencia defender Gabriel, the former Arsenal man, hacks down Philippe Coutinho. Booked.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:46 BST 14 April 2018

    Barcelona 2-0 Valencia

    A second Valencia change - Luciano Vietto, a January loan signing from Atletico Madrid, replaces Santi Mina up front.

    Valencia haven't really had a chance from open play in a long time now.

  19. Postpublished at 16:44 BST 14 April 2018

    Barcelona 2-0 Valencia

    Andres Iniesta forces a good save with an acrobatic volley. A sort of side bicycle kick if that's a thing.
