    FT: Betis 1-2 Barcelona! An incredible finish in Seville sees Barca edge their opponents 2-1, thanks to Alba’s last-minute winner! A tight affair after 75 minutes was turned on its head by Xavi’s substitutions, with Fati scoring to break the deadlock just 60 later. Not to be denied, Betis would go up the other end and equalise just three minutes later when Bartra headed Fekir’s free-kick past Neto. Alba would be the late hero however, adding a goal with a venomous volley!

    GOAL for Barcelona! To say Xavi’s substitution has worked would be an understatement, with Fati scoring with just his second touch of the match! The winger receives a cross on the edge of the 18-yard box before settling the ball and poking an accurate finish into the bottom corner!

    Juanmi gets beyond the last defender and bursts into the penalty area but a poor shot with his left rolls far too comfortably into the arms of a stooping Neto.

    Foul by Guido on Gavi.
  • 64'
    GREAT SAVE! A tremendous switch of play from Sabaly finds Moreno free down the left flank with acres of space to move into. A lovely cross into the penalty area finds Juanmi but the close-range volleyed effort from the winger is blocked by Neto expertly!
  • 62'
    Guardado hits a switch of play for Iglesias looking to take advantage of Alba’s injury but Depay and Gavi converge to squeeze Sabaly off the ball and win back possession inside the Barcelona penalty area.
  • 60'
    Lenglet has taken his training top off in anticipation of a substitution but it appears as though Alba wants to try and run off the injury and stave off an enforced change.
  • 58'
    Alba attempts to block the path of Canales down the flank, which has left both players on the ground in some pain. The Barcelona defender seems to have come off worse as he clutches at his lower back, with the trainers on immediately to tend to him.
  • 55'
    Corner awarded to Barca.
  • 54'
    Dembele drives forward with his trademark pace after a long kick from Neto but his right-footed shot can only catch the side netting - failing to force the goalkeeper into a save.

    Again Iglesias falls to the turf in front of match official Mateu Lahoz after a physical battle with Araujo but again the referee is happy to allow play to continue with Barcelona on the ball.
  • 48'
    A pass back from Pezzella immediately puts Silva under pressure, with Barcelona pressing the Real Betis goalkeeper 10 yards from his own goal. The co-ordinated move from the visitors forces the goalkeeper into a poor kick but Dembele’s miscontrol on the flank lets it go out for a Betis throw.
  • 46'
    Real Betis get the match restarted from the kick-off!
  • 45'
    HT: Betis 0-0 Barcelona! The hosts came out of the blocks quicker, looking to press forward at every opportunity in search of a necessary win, while Barcelona looked to control the tempo and link passes together in midfield. Both styles produced quality chances, with Guido finding the frame of the goal with a shot from distance, and substitute goalkeeper Silva forced into a tremendous save on an Araujo header. Despite the opportunities however - the result is still up for grabs in the 2nd half.
  • 45'
    45+2: Alba’s cross into the 18-yard box from a position on the inside-left is put too short for Torres - allowing Silva to claim the ball with a diving catch.

    Corner awarded to Barca.
  • 37'
    Juanmi drives to the byline on the left wing where he’s met by Alves - who leans into the forward as the ball crosses the line, sending the Real Betis player into the advertising hoardings. The referee is happy with the contact as Neto is allowed to collect for a goal-kick.
  • 35'
    Alves hooks a cross into the penalty area from a central position looking for Torres but Pezzella has him covered, rising high to nod away the danger.
  • 33'
    Silva is called into another great save, stretching across his line to palm away a curling Depay shot from 20 yards out.
  • 32'
    A round of applause goes up around the Benito Villamarin for Fekir, who tracks back to the right-back position in order to win the ball before keeping it in play with a lovely roulette.
  • 29'
    OFF THE POST! Guardado lifts a pass into the penalty area for Canales, who controls the ball well with his back to goal ahead of Araujo. The winger lays the ball back to the edge of the 18-yard box for Rodriguez, whose shot to the far post smacks off the base of the woodwork!
  • 26'
    Foul by Nabil Fekir on Jordi Alba.
  • 24'
    Handball by Gavi.
  • 23'
    Depay uses his fancy footwork to get past Sabaly and Guardado inside the penalty area but again the Netherlands international is unable to keep the ball in play, letting it roll behind somewhat carelessly.
  • 20'
    Depay whips a strong outswinging corner into the penalty area for Araujo, who leaps to hammer a header towards goal. Silva’s reflexes are impeccable however, as the goalkeeper reaches up to palm the ball off the crossbar before recovering the rebound!

    Corner awarded to Barca.
  • 18'
    Fekir’s corner is worth the wait as he delivers a cross directly to the head of Pezzella, who sends his powerful effort right into the arms of Neto.

  • 10'
    Dembele whips a fantastic cross into the penalty area but Torres is a step behind the delivery, failing to reach the ball six yards from goal. All it needed was a touch to direct it towards goal but Bravo is able to breathe a sigh of relief before taking a goal-kick.
  • 7'
    Corner awarded to Barcelona.
  • 6'
    CLOSE! Juanmi drives down the left flank, getting the better of Alves as he latches onto Iglesias’ leading pass but the winger’s chipped finish fails to hit the target from close range.

    Garcia launches a pass long for Alba, who manages to get on the end of the ball near the corner flag. The full-back finds Depay with a little flick but the forward is unable to do anything in possession as it rolls behind for a goal-kick.

    Barcelona make three alterations from the XI that beat Mallorca 2-1 last Sunday. Marc-Andre Ter Stegen is out with illness, giving Neto a chance to start between the posts while Gerard Pique’s injury provides Garcia an opportunity at centre-back. The final change is tactical, with Dembele playing ahead of Aubameyang.

    Real Betis make three changes from their 0-0 draw with Getafe on May 2. Bartra replaces Ruiz at centre-back while Ruibal is dropped for Guardado - pushing Canales onto the right wing. The final switch is on the left, where Juanmi is preferred to Tello.

    This is how the Catalan side arrived at the stadium, will they be able to win without their fans in the stands?

    With just four games to go, Betis are running out of time to try and secure a place in next season’s Champions League. The Copa del Rey winners have already locked up a Europa League spot but with just three points separating themselves from fourth-place Atletico Madrid, Pellegrini still has cause to believe he can bring Joaquin along for one final swansong in Europe’s elite competition.

    It's 28 degrees and sunny in Seville for this one. All set at the incredible Benito Villamarin to get the ball rolling.

    Barca have been in good form on the road, winning their last five games and remain unbeaten in away matches in La Liga since Xavi took over in October.
  • PRVW
    Indeed the side from Seville recorded a 1-0 win at Camp Nou earlier in the campaign although they have not beaten them at home in the league since 2008.
  • PRVW
    A win for the Blaugrana would seal a top-four spot, although a victory for Los Verdiblancos would put them back in the hunt for a place in Europe's premier club competition.
