he'll be disappointed with that maybe it just came to him a little bit early [Applause] RAF HRI and that's one taken for the team the attack stop but maybe at a cost well that's how this is going to be refereed an early booking he's clearly up for this game but just got that challenge all wrong you have to be careful now and it's played over to the back post well actually just a little too close to the keeper he'll happily take [Applause] that good work to regain possession kunde has the space to whip it in here it's Keeper's ball the cross may be Mish hit certainly misplaced on his day Robert levandowski can be just about Unstoppable you'd think he'd probably play a prominent role here well he this could be a chance here and that is a terrific stop his positioning is spot on really makes it difficult for the attacker stops an almost certain goal there they opt to go short with the corner looking for the angle oh great [Applause] block something different from the the corner unai

being afforded too much space here a chance to cross here just a little out with the pass gone out for a throw Martinez onto kund Pablo Martin keeps himself in the way well held oh that's been won really smartly Oscar [Applause] tro hedri Barcelona moving it well with real confidence great defending Valentine Garcia onto detomas he's drifting into a useful position here good cross into the middle well it comes to nothing in the end kundai onto levandowski and able to come away with the ball TR this is a positive looking move but it will now be tided up and cleared away they've kept it in just beaten easily here now for the finish and the keeper more than equal to it Danny Elmo HRI leowski a little careless there as the ball changes hands Martin onto kund HRI ball taken away from them Romas in the right position to cut out the pass Pablo Martin HRI now levandowski Barcelona pushing forward with options available oh could be a chance here the job not done yet and that's a foul and a free kick Oscar tro D Tomas switched on and ready to intercept there Danny Elmo now it's toomas [Applause] hedri Martin just sitting off here inviting pressure Le Sho [Applause] levandowski pass was read and the ball has changed hands ra HRI Barcelona trying to get things moving but able to deal with the danger decisively well defended HRI really nice to this move disappointing end to a good spell on the ball Val Dan Elmo Rafia in behind can he finish and there's the opener the all important first goal of the game well here is again and he just makes it look so easy doesn't he skips past the defender like he wasn't there and then coly slots it home and we're back underway at one n [Applause] Espino Alvaro Garcia and it's been cut out there's the turnover could get it over [Applause] now they have to clear this and it's not far away it deserved a goal it did and he makes it look so easy and it's not it's a great technique catches it nice but he just can't quite find the target [Applause] Pablo Martin HRI good work to regain possession HRI leandi gavi Dani Elmo oh great block oh it's a penalty [Applause] to extend the lead and they have paid the penalty it's been dispatched [Applause] well here it is again and the keeper clearly expected him to go down the middle but unfortunately for him it's made for a simple finish off we go two- n the score now Valentine and the pass is in complete nicely won [Applause] Rafia and the attack is over really good defending Martin keeps himself in the way well held there could be trouble now but hasn't managed to force any sort of save well it's close but the keeper got across quickly maybe just needed a bit more composure in front of goal to finish off the chance passer recovering possession well HRI they are sitting a bit deep here you feel need to engage a little higher lovely Ticky Tacker football can they find the final pass a promising looking attack but it's come to nothing theas Palazo [Applause] onas possession loss just at the point of something happening Martinez HRI well as long as they keep the ball they win the game a turnaround in possession excellent positioning that looks decent making progress here what a stop razor Shar oh talk about reactions how good were his then it's such close range that's a brilliant save the corner taken short hund [Applause] and possession given away Martin onto pedri keeping it nicely here oh he's done well to get past his man ref oh great work from The Keeper to avert the danger a free kick awarded here the viewed that as a [Music] foul pass that results in a throw in a little unlucky Pablo Martin Rafia now Counterattack coming away they go ball back with Barcelona now he's in here they've got another and he's got another two for the game [Applause] well let's have a look at this again it's a sweet connection generates so much power not many goalkeepers would keep that out so the game restarts with Barcelona in total control of the match Valentine onto [Applause] dmas excellent reading of the game to win the [Applause] ball levandowski [Applause] Rafa Ral deas and this could be well not the easiest of saves but you'd expect him to probably stop [Applause] that Martin Danny Elmo pedri leowski oh crucial tackle to deal with the danger and there's the whistle it's a penalty it's going to be a booking as well yeah it had to be poor decision he'll know [Applause] that this for 4-0 scores the penalty efficiently put away well if you watch this again his body position doesn't give anything away and the goalkeeper can't read where he's going and it just sends him the wrong way it's a real tidy finish the game restarts amidst a dominant first half performance the score tells you all you need to know and that whistle brings the first half to a close we've seen an absolutely outstanding display from Robert levandowski so far what are your thoughts Sue well that's an outstanding first half performance his goals have been really well taken but it's his all round game his movement his work rate wonder how many he going to get today and there's the restart off we go again and there's the whistle as the ref gives a free kick that's not a bad looking ball well a bit of a clumsy Challenge and the ref blows for a free kick leun Oscar tro Lopez troas Garcia oh maybe a bit of space now but that's where he loses it a timely [Applause] intervention levandowski onto Gaby DMO [Applause] aridan Palazo this is looking good now what comes next [Applause] DZ is Palazo Ian Val Oscar Valentine oh chance here it's smashed against the bar a really good effort it's brilliant effort that nice technique it deserved the goal using his strength well pass after pass happy just to keep possession for now Martinez Danny Elmo HRI Dan Elmo Danny Elmo levandowski he caught that with everything he's got but it's missed the target handsomely game brought to a halt a free kick given for that Oscar tro Lopez palazon perfectly anticipated really well won leowski oh he didn't get that right there could be punishment coming and he has been booked yellow card well he's going to have to be careful now can't make any rash challenges or he'll be off using his body well to keep the ball Valentine unai Lopez and it's been cut out there's the turnover Danny Elmo onto pedrick Martin Rafa pass was read and the ball has changed hands [Applause] Garcia Valentine this is a good run now can he pick out the right option and a good tackle results in a throw in Danny olmo gy now possession really is all for with them now well read to gain possession good job done to keep it there that has gone out it'll be a throw levandowski keeps himself in the way well held HRI Dano that's a nice cut back and still the chance might come strong play to keep possession can he finish and it's a pretty good Save By The Keeper [Applause] and they've gone with a short [Applause] one they won't take it from him there oh he knew exactly what he was doing there a calculated foul and that foul has resulted in a booking well it wasn't the best challenge was it had to be a yellow [Applause] and the ball is still alive and the keeper able to hold on to it at the second attempt well you can sense the relief it's a fantastic initial save though HRI good strong tackle it'll be a throw in Martinez rafino now [Applause] now what can Barca do from the [Music] [Applause] corner something different from the corner they have to clear this and it's a decent stop by the [Applause] goalkeeper into the B it goes that's not properly away yet well nothing doing for them in the end Ian Balu Lopez good work from Bara to win back possession that's good physical play osar tro Alvaro Garcia oh that's been won really smartly using his strength well Oscar Valentine D Tomas working hard to win it back there lowski that's good strong play Rafa levandowski oh the flags up that will be offside unai Lopez value Lopez Barcelona have possession again HRI Pablo Martin Dani Elmo HRI gy now dong hund and he's offside the flag is up Florian Leon Valentine some good work to win it there Dan Elmo using his body well to keep the ball body in the way good work brilliant work by the man and goal that's a top stop [Applause] delivered into the box Barcelona with the ball again pedri a nice cut back takes it on it's out of play will be a goal kick [Applause] and not getting close enough here struggling to keep the ball there value harid Dan now it's dmas levandowski hund kicks himself in the way well held Alonso Espino Oscar tjo Oscar Valentine Lopez is Palazo this is looking good now what comes next and stopped in their tracks with a change in possession nicely taken away it's gone out for a throw [Applause] hedri onto gaffy levandowski gaffy now Torres switched on and ready to intercept there Valentine Lopez decent looking attack this thas the attack brought to an unceremonious end has to be in the book for that and there we are yellow card well you could tell by his body language he knew a card was coming there [Applause] [Applause] it's in they've scored and you have to credit them for keeping going at least well take a look at the replay it's always nice when these free kicks come off you practice them over and over again and this is really well worked they change the angle and then it's a really tidy finish so it's 4-1 now as the ball gets rolling again [Applause] [Music] Deon Rafia levandowski and the referee sees that as a foul free kick to come Florian Leon and the work pays off as they get the ball back Espino read the pass well and cuts it out plenty of open space here won't take it from him there Valentine and the hard work pays off they won the ball levandowski and that's a bad one just how bad is down to the referee and he has been booked for that yeah he had no option that's a yellow for me excellent reading of the game to win the ball strong play to keep [Applause] possession theas need to get tighter here oh and that's a bad Miss surely the wrong choice why is he trying to shoot from there the angle so tight it's comfortably wide in the end HRI now dong that's good physical play play on is the referee's call haran unai Lopez full time is looming what do you make of how it stand now he could be in trouble here already on a yellow y the referee's had enough he's going to send him off now well that's just silly isn't it he's already been booked so why is he putting a challenge in like that he's always going to go harid Dan perfectly anticipated really well won HRI deong now Martin onto pedri Frankie deong work to beat the marker that's a throw in they'll have to win the ball all over again Christensen gy now Martinez this is a good run now can he pick out the right [Applause] option osar tro Val tro def frutos they've lost it there and the attack is over Frankie deong using his strength well a really good interception to take the ball Florian Leon tro aridan osar tjo Lopez to get tighter here well not the easiest of saves but you'd expect him to probably stop that hedri they've given it away here Andreas Christensen that's good strong play in the right position to cut out the pass he's beating his marker [Applause] here def frutos switched on and ready to intercept there Andreas Christensen Martin body in the way good work showing good width with this attack HS it back and that has stopped any potential Danger and that's a nasty looking challenge which will now surely be punished well the frustration continues straight red he has to go well the game's gone the heads have gone and well he's gone absolutely shambolic Deon Martinez onto gavy levandowski raap keeps himself in the way well held genuine chance and they've scored a game it's become a question of just how many they'll get well here's the replay and he shows great skill to play the ball through the way to pass it's just right and then once he's through never doubt was there hits it hard and true and the keeper just can't react in time so the score now 5-1 as we restart once more they won't take it from him there well that brings the match to a close a frustrating day for the fans in attendance and it's three points dropped well this was certainly a bad day at the office so poor at the back they just look so nervy and when they went forward it was really slow and pedestrian they'll be really disappointed after that e and a warm welcome on what is a fine day for football perfect playing conditions I'm guy Moby and I'll be joined for commentary by Sue Smith the former England forward and we've got La Liga EA Sports Action coming right up it's Rio Viano and they take on Barcelona thanks Guy well I can't wait for this one both sets of fans are certainly up for it I'm sure that that'll give the players a real boost they'll be hoping to start the game at a fast [Applause] tempo this is the Barcelona team Sheet Mark Andre tan is in goal HRI plays alongside Gaby in the center of Midfield and leading the line is Robert levandowski and over the touch line it goes it'll be a throw in now Pablo Martin excellent reading of the game to win the ball Lopez palazon onto dmas oh possession lost not a good pass HRI well read to gain possession trying to force a mistake Florian Leon Espino and able to come away with the ball juul kund onto rafin leandi oh that's been won really smartly making good progress here tro just waiting for the moment to break through but not really going anywhere fast with it HRI Danny Elmo Martin paa and the attack is over really good defending Alvaro Garcia HRI Martin onto rafin pedri and the forward progress continues the goalkeeper more than ready for it Palazo Oscar tjo Alvaro Garcia [Applause] and there's an example of what good pressing can do oh a drop in focus and a cheap throw Inc conceded Pablo Martin onto pedri space now to get a crossover and it's better safe than sorry by the goalkeeper it's a corner it's played in now and there it is one n [Applause] already well let's take another look at this it's a decent delivery into the box and it's a good finish able to make good contact and I'm not sure the keeper could have done much about that to be honest and the game restarts with the score one nil Florian leun Alonso Espino [Applause] Rafia a little careless there as the ball changes hands a good Advantage played by the ref HRI levandowski but they can't go any further here offside in the right position to cut out the pass raia a lot of room for them here players waiting in the center oh it was set up for the shot but then he went for Brute Force when a cool head was needed [Applause] Pablo Martin nicely taken away it's gone out for a throw [Applause] kundai kundai gaffy now little sloppy on the ball there harid Dar is Palazo and they want to see a shot here J kund kund this is an excellent looking Barcelona transition but able to deal with the danger decisively well defended Florian Leon Lopez just sitting off here inviting pressure kund onto gy pedri pedri Dan Elmo well this is mesmerizing to watch such good possession and in the end all that possession counts for little played through nicely oh what a really good save that was something different from the corner that's cross the line it'll be a throw great chance here oh what a Miss that's hard to believe well what a chance that was for The Equalizer you won't get too many chances better than that [Applause] raia edri onto levandowski play continues as the ref lets that go promising looking attack this HRI more good football from them here a chance to move clear maybe oh he caught that with everything he's got but it's missed the Target only just too high having a look and there's another one valuable breathing space for them now well here's the replay and you've got to say they deserve it piling the pressure on creating opportunities and they finished it off well and we're back underway at 2- n Oscar tjo and that's a bad one just how bad is down to the referee and there we are yellow card well you could tell by his body language he knew a card was coming there and cleared well away from goal ju kund HRI this is a lovely position to be in keeping the ball and the lead Rafa ju kund now levandowski not so much given away as cleverly won Espino so much room out wide now for Barcelona Rafa CS it [Applause] back encouraging signs to the attack but it hasn't led to anything well under no real pressure but unable to keep it in play there's the whistle as the ref gives a free kick lovely ball now what can they do with it space now to get a crossover does well to keep it in they are sitting a bit too deep here Danny Olo a different angle of attack rapia fantastic FC save that's top draw and in the end it wasn't needed offside the keeper didn't know that HRI lovely incisive ball oh it's still in there and the referee has given a [Applause] penalty to make it 3 and it's in a show of composure from 12 yd [Applause] out well here it is again what a brilliant penalty it's cheeky it's audacious and the goalkeeper can't do anything about it he knew exactly where he wanted to it that's quality that well it's been all Barcelona so far and you sense they could inflict further punishment before the end Florian Leon harid Dano theas and possession given away and the referee sees that as a foul free kick to come and the ref has gone to his pocket for the card it's a yellow all day long it's a good decision by The Ref he had a really good view of the challenge too really nicely played what can they do with this now [Applause] thas and they want to see a shot here unai Lopez doesn't want lose it now and the keeper more than equal to [Applause] it and they go short with the [Applause] HRI Danny Elmo gy now some good work to win it there Espino pushing forward now to make the right choice but it will now be tided up and cleared [Applause] away oh he's done well to get past his man but that's a really good recovery to win the ball approaching the interval now and the host look like having a mountain to climb is the score fair enough what we've seen well that's a lousy first half defensively all over the place they look slow in their buildup on and off the ball and a big team talks needed now at halim they need to try and get something out of the match but it's going to be a huge ask switched on and ready to intercept there levandowski aridan value Romas and they've got it back now [Applause] AIA levandowski good work to regain possession HRI Danny Elmo Danny Elmo no problem at all in keeping that one out using his body well to keep the ball a turnaround in possession excellent positioning strong play to keep possession Romas little sloppy on the ball there Lopez able to skip past his man and that's not a bad save at all over it comes takes it on oh superb technique but the woodwork spoiling the party so difficult to get that on target he's done fantastically well he counts himself on Roy [Applause] there leand Danny Elmo onto pedri levandowski tying his luck oh top quality goalkeeping to deny what looked a likely goal they decide against putting it [Applause] in Oscar Valentin palazon theas oh what a place to lose the ball just when the chance was on Danny [Applause] Elmo in the right position to cut out the pass there's room to do something [Applause] hereas and the attack is over good defending Martin allowing space and he's finding [Applause] it that one's gone out throw into to come oh a great chance and it's a decent stop by the goalkeeper [Applause] Dan Elmo onto kundai had to work hard to keep that in and on that whistle the first half comes to an end we've seen an absolutely outstanding display from Robert levendowski so far what are your thoughts Sue yeah it was an incredible performance clearly the difference between the two sides he's causing that backline so many problems he'll no doubt be desperate to score a hattick now though the first kick of the second half half of a game being dominated by Barcelona pedri [Applause] levandowski and the ball has been lost Alvaro Garcia Alonso Espino and the ball has been nicely cut out unai Lopez he's beaten his marker [Applause] here genuine chance and the keeper more than equal to it and they've gone with a short one can he finish it's in a well taken goal and no wonder off celebrating well here's the replay and it's quite a straightforward finish in the end but he does well to find space and then hit the target I'm sure he'll be pleased with [Applause] that so it's 3-1 as the ball gets rolling again Martin Martinez HRI body in the way good work levandowski read the pass well and cuts it out what a chance here well searching for his second but the keeper equal to it this time yeah well he's looking Lively isn't he popping up in these sorts of positions on a regular basis now it's played in now and that's pretty straightforward for the [Applause] keeper leowski onto gavy really nice nice Tempo to this move disappointing end to a good spell on the ball Romas Danny Elmo Martin now levandowski the hard work pays off they won the ball [Applause] and it's on now what a stop razor shot oh talk about reactions how good were his then it's such close range that's a brilliant save corner kick played in well not quite fully away here kund real opportunity and the goalkeeper does what he's there to do a free kick awarded here the refs viewed that as a foul D thas perfectly anticipated really well won the effort shut out HRI Bara with width here I won't take it from him there Garcia ball back with Barcelona now levandowski brilliant work by the Manning goal that's a top stop [Applause] laid into the box well held but it was a corner that came right into his Zone leun that will be a throw in now as you can see it's been all Barcelona in terms of possession they're retaining the ball so well in the middle of the park moving it across the pitch quickly and when they do go forward they're creating openings this is a really strong performance and I can see them scoring more and it's a free Kick the chance comes their way from a really dangerous position [Music] and there's the hatrick he'll be taking the match ball [Applause] home well here's the free kick again I could watch this all day tremendous skill to get that much movement on the ball to get it over the wall and in the back of the net is class and the game restarts with the score now 4-1 Oscar [Applause] Valentine onto toomas a turnaround in possession excellent positioning Danny olmo now levandowski Oscar tro palazon thas juul kund now levandowski good work to regain possession Oscar tro Alvaro Garcia strong play to keep possession in the right position to cut out the pass kund Rafa now this could be threatening but the keeper anticipates it well and deals with the danger Rafia chops inside now well he's kept that out [Applause] nicely they decide again putting it in cut back nicely off the cross bar good job done to keep it there and they've scored a game it's become a question of just how many they'll [Applause] get well here it is again and he's done so well he's got to the by line been able to pick out a team and it makes a Striker's job relatively easy all he has to do is make the right connection it's a really good goal so the score now 5-1 as we restart once more unai Lopez palazon moving forward under no real pressure genuine chance well that's as easy as it gets for a goalkeeper value Oscar tro unai Lopez tro passer recovering possession well Pablo Martine de Dan Elmo onto gavy HRI Danny Elmo AIA levandowski well read to gain possession Dani Mo that's good physical play Christensen onto pedri Ian Val and the pass is incomplete nicely won Andreas Christensen Martin pass after pass happy just to keep possession for now body in the way good work good ball decent looking attack this and that one goes out and away HRI Rafa oh this is getting unbelievable it is an absolute thrashing well here it is again and this is great pressure high up the field they don't just go in ones and twos they all go together and that makes it so difficult to play out it's a nice finish after that Garcia tro Alvaro Garcia Espino Oscar tro I palazon good work from barca to win back possession franki deong laa excellent reading of the game to win the ball Alvaro Garcia and that's a bad one just how bad B is down to the referee and the name has been taken for that it's silly isn't it has to go in the book for that and the

well weighted beautifully [Applause] Pablo Martin turnaround in possession excellent positioning Frankie deong onto pedri possession lost just at the point of something happening [Applause] Martinez Dan Elmo onto pedri onto Gaby HRI now levandowski read the pass well and cuts it out oh that's how to win the ball HRI Danny Elmo now dong decent move looked to be building but that's it for now HRI gaffy now nicely played well that's as easy as it gets for a goalkeeper [Applause] Rafia deong now Rafia and that has stopped any potential danger firm in the tackle it'll be a throw a really good interception to take the ball oh terrible effort in the end and simple for the keeper well what a wasted opportunity he has to do better there oh that's been won really smartly I palazon this might be [Applause] promising and it's not clear [Applause] yet good job done to keep it there and that's nice and easy for the goalkeeper a free kick awarded here the refs viewed that as a foul Andreas Christensen fan Torres onto Christenson pedri levandowski picks out a teammate still not clear and the attack comes to an end disappointing edging ever closer to goal here using his body well to keep the ball [Applause] Torres this has to be oh what a really good save that was crucial defending [Applause] laid into the box and the keeper there seemed to know just where that was [Applause] going Florian Leon palazon [Applause] value Oscar tjo and they want to see a shot here and that's more than comfortable for the man in goal levandowski value they won't take it from him there HRI Torres levandowski what a chance kept out but for how long surely well that brings the match to a close a frustrating day for the fans in attendance and it's three points dropped well you can see how gutted
