LA LIGA - ALAVES V BARCELONA - LIVE

The second half starts.

See you in 15 minutes.

Straight at Ter Stegen! The best chance for the home side so far.

The ball is angled high and wide again for Dest, but this time it's overhit. It's certainly a deliberate attack so far today.

A poor pass from Alba gives up possession, and they're struggling to meet the required, and possibly expected, standards.

It was an accident, but a high foot catches the Alaves and they have a free kick on the left. Straight at the wall, but the ref awards another for a handball on Abde, which seems harsh.

He sets up a curling shot from outside the box on his right foot, but it's high and wide.

A decent attack down the wings earns them a corner, it's headed on by Busquets and almost ricochets into the net.

The 'keeper takes it under a little pressure.

There's some mild aggro over a quickly taken throw, and your guess is as good as mine.

That's right, it's tactically fascinating.

And it's cut out for a throw on the left.

He runs onto the last defender's shoulder to hook a volley just wide of the post.

He rushes out to the edge of his box to scoop up a through ball.

No shots yet, but prime Barcelona could leave you exhausted and rattle in three in the last ten minutes without getting worried.

Barcelona scramble it away after De Jong loses the ball at the back.

And what a lovely three seconds of possession it was.

They claim it is due to a stomach problem, but it's much more likely to be a contractual dispute matter now.

He takes it, the ball is ultimately worked back to Dest, and his cross comes to nothing.
