2 Minutes' There isn't a recognised right-back in the Barca XI today and it was thought that either Mascherano or Rafinha would take up that position. Judging by the start of proceedings, the latter featues in defence with the Argentine being deployed in midfield alongside Rakitic and Iniesta.
4' You have to hand it to Leganes in these opening stages as they have been incredibly brave in their approach. Barca are typically looking to play out from the back through Ter Stegen and the defence, but they are being put under pressure via the intense pressing of the hosts! How long can they keep up such a tempo though?
6' Rakitic languishes in possession too long in the Barca half and Leganes pounce to win the ball through Machis, who drives forward before having a crack at goal from 25 yards or so. Pique is on hand to make the important interception, but some worrying scenes at the moment for the Catalan outfit!
8' Leganes have been absolutely fantastic so far and aren't displaying any fear whatsoever, even against a team who won 7-0 in Europe in their last fixture! The home side should be scoring from this spell of dominance though, as Barcelona will find their feet going forward sooner or later you would think.
10' Barca venture forward for the first time in the match as Neymar opens up his stride down the left touchline. The Brazilian cuts inside and possession eventually finds its way to Suarez just inside the box, but the striker was just a head of the play slightly, so Leganes are let off the hook with an offside.
12' Rakitic picks up the ball just outside the centre circle and spots the run of Neymar before going for the ambitious diagonal to the left. The pass nearly hits the mark, but Bustinza just manages to stretch out a leg to make the VITAL interception! Leganes playing a dangerously high line

15' GOOOOAAAAAAALLLLL FOR BARCELONA! THE VISITORS OPEN THE SCORING! Suarez shakes off the attentions of Bustinza down the right-hand side and advances forward before picking out a perfect pass inside the box for Messi, who coolly slots into the corner! One-Nil
15' Outstanding work from Suarez for the assist.

17' That goal for Barca is a real kick in the teeth for Leganes, who can be very proud of their display so far. It was indeed mentioned that they were playing a high line though, and that was always going to be dangerous against this superstar front two of Suarez, and King Messi!
19' A BAD MISS FROM NEYMAR! Barca open the Leganes defence up with a stunning bit of play as Rafinha hits the byline before reversing a pass inside for Suarez, who clips a first-time teasing cross to the back post. His Brazilian team-mate meets it with a volley, but it is a rare display for poor technique as the attempt bounces over the crossbar. What a goal that would have been!
21' Even though Rafinha is deployed at right-back today, he was always going to be doing more attacking than defending on the wing and looks to be flourishing in this new role. Already some very neat interplay with Messi coming in off the touchline.

30' Fifteen minutes remaining in the first half now and as mentioned previously, Leganes can be proud of their performance so far. That goal from Messi was a bit of a hammer blow, but the scoreline remains tight so the promoted side can continue to feel the confidence flowing!
31' GOOOOOAAAALLLLL FOR BARCA! Absolutely stunning stuff from the Catalans! Messi takes on the Leganes defence with a typically dangerous run and gets in behind the backline before showing quite incredible awareness to pick out Suarez at the back post, who easily slots home! Two-nil.
31' One of the best assists you will see this season from King Lionel Messi!
33' Leganes almost respond immediately to that Suarez goal! Machis bulldozes his way into the penalty box and fires a shot towards the near corner, which is saved by Ter Stegen. The rebound is then sent towards goal with the German out of position, but Umtiti covers for his team-mate superbly with a block on the line!
35' OH SUAREZ JUST FALLS AT THE VITAL MOMENT! The Uruguayan is sent running in behind the Leganes defence after another genius pass from Messi, but then just as he is about to pull the trigger loses his footing around 10 yards out. He will be kicking himself for that one, the former Liverpool and Ajax man!
37' Barcelona are really turning on the style now and Leganes look increasingly unable to handle the pressure. Neymar clips a pass inside to Rakitic, who eventually prods wide to Messi. The Argentine goes for another signature pass over the top of the opposition defence, but there is a little too much on it which allows the goalkeeper to come out and claim.
39' Another Leganes booking and this time it goes to Victor Diaz. The home side just a little guilty of losing their discipline just before the break.
