Over the top! Abde is disappointed that he didn't put that shot on target after dribbling into the Espanyol penalty area, but the young winger flashes his effort high and wide!
72'
It should be noted that Coutinho was introduced for Gavi a few moments ago.

Gavi has very quickly become a key figure for club and country this season. The teenager has the right mentality to play for Barcelona. It’s easy to see he will be one of Xavi’s favourites.

69'
DE TOMAS... wide! That should have been the equaliser for Espanyol! The freekick was played quickly over the top of the Barcelona defence, de Tomas controlled it, but could only strike wide!
68'
That was a chance! Abde brought down Puado right on the edge of the penalty area. Espanyol didn't make the most of the set piece opportunity, though, and Barca survive.

Mingueza becomes the latest player to enter the referee's book.

GOOOOOOO... NO! Frenkie de Jong has the ball in the back of the net, but it was clear that the Dutch midfielder was offside when the pass was played in behind. High line!
64'
Pedri has been sidelined for the last month or so of action and Barcelona have missed him. He has made an instant impact since arriving at the Camp Nou from Las Palmas two summers ago.
62'
61'
Put behind! Busquets plays a wonderful pass to split the Espanyol defence, Abde was in behind, he tried to square the ball for Memphis, but the defender just about avoids an own goal!
60'
Morlanes is also booked - he's only been on the pitch for a couple minutes!

Xavi will surely put a focus on his midfield and there is a lot for him to work with in there. Of course, Busquets is still at the club, but Pedri, de Jong and Gavi are all top quality operators.
56'
And Morlanes is also on off the bench for the away team.

Can Barcelona make their dominance count in the form of a second goal? They aren't sitting back, as they tended to do under Koeman once they took the lead. Still pushing!
51'
Memphis has very quickly become a key figure for Barcelona. The Dutchman was chased by Koeman for a long time, but how will Xavi view him? Memphis is still a key source of goals.
