Right, that is your lot from me for this evening.

We'll be seeing Barcelona again on Tuesday, when they host Tottenham in the Champions League.

But we're back tomorrow for more European football with live text commentary of Huesca v Real Madrid from about 15:00 GMT.

Until the next time!

Two incredible free-kick goals and a remarkable assist for Ousmane Dembele's slick curled strike. Not a bad evening's work for the fifth best player in the world.

So Barca are heading back to their position three points clear at the top of La Liga - Atletico Madrid are their closest challengers right now.

Real Madrid play on Sunday, away to Huesca.

One more final chance for a consolation. Esteban Granero has another free-kick to deliver. Sergio Garcia collects his chip, runs into trouble and Barca clear...

Denis Suarez dives on and finds Munir El Haddadi to his right, but the young striker's effort is deflected up by a sliding block, into Diego Lopez's gloves.

Jordi Alba forced to cut a rampage short. Gerard Pique booms a headed clearance up the park. Esteban Granero goes on a mazy run ended by a Barca foul.

This one is nearly done.

Arturo Vidal is down hurt after a bizarre coming together with Clement Lenglet. The French defender stuck his studs out to control a pass and Vidal slid in ahead of him and ended up being stamped on. He's OK though.

Sergio Busquets also took a bad knock in a 50-50 so Barca have two players waiting to come back on again.

FIVE minutes added on.

Borja Iglesias sees a drive blocked by Nelson Semedo in the box.

Into injury time we go. Time for a final Lionel Messi flourish?

Esteban Granero chips it in to Leo Baptistao but his headed effort is tame. An easy catch for Barca's largely untested keeper.

Arturo Vidal slides in through the back of Sergio Garcia and concedes a free-kick on the edge of the box.

Esteban Granero is very much interested.

Gerard Pique was racing up the park, desperate for a fifth. But Espanyol cover back and recover via a foul on Philippe Coutinho.

Even Lionel Messi can't shoot from this free-kick - and his cross is just too long for Arturo Vidal's lunge.

A nearly half empty stadium is already emptying further still. It hasn't quite gone as planned for Espanyol tonight.

Leo Baptistao sends a snap-shot curling just over the bar via a deflection. Esteban Granero swings the corner in and Barca can break...

Another smart short corner from Espanyol ends with a Victor Sanchez header that comfortably clears the bar.

Here comes the final change for Barcelona. Denis Suarez replaces Ivan Rakitic.

Didac Villa goes in the book for a foul on Lionel Messi - it was late but far from nasty. Just another entry in a long line of clips on the Barcelona forward tonight.

Luis Suarez is coming off for Barca - Munir El Haddadi replaces him for the last 10.

In amongst all that, and it did take far too long, Esteban Granero came on to replace Sergi Darder in the Espanyol midfield.

Oscar Duarte is deemed to have been offside when stabbing home what would have been a deserved consolation. Espanyol have had their moments.

It looks offside on the replay but the decision is taking a while...
