BARCELONA TAKE ON REAL MADRID IN SUPERCOPA DE ESPANA - FERRAN TORRES STARTS

On comes Ansu Fati for the goalscorer.

After a spiky start of the half, both teams settle in. Barca have the ball, Madrid have the chances.

Casemiro loops a ball over the face of goal and just over the head of Vinicius Jr. So close.

La Liga's most fouled player receives an arm across the chops, then asks the ref what he's going to do about. Nothing.

Kroos plucks a path through the defence and smuggles the ball to Vinicius Jr who is just nudged off the ball.

After an opening salvo, Real Madrid have recovered their early rhythm, soaking up pressure then springing away on the break. But have created next to nothing this half.

After Jordi Alba knocks the ball down to Dembele who fires just wide. He's been their most dangerous player without looking too likely to score.

Alves has been tight to Vinicius just to try to quell his pace. It can't always work and he topples the Madrid man.

A cross-cum-shot from Dembele pings off the head of Luuk De Jong. There was too much pace on the ball to direct it goalwards.

Renewed confidence for Barcelona as the press, and possession starts to click. Pedri smashes one just past the post.

Ferran Torres is the first player subbed off. It was unlikely he would have played more than a half, but he would have wanted to make more of a mark.

The teams are level, but Real Madrid will be disappointed they don't hold the lead. Barcelona grew into the game, but their goal was sloppy. They won't care a jot.

De Jong grabs the goal. They are right back in it! The ball is flicked by Luuk De Jong to Dembele who fires the ball straight back in. Militao clears the ball against the onrushing Barca man and the deflection trickles past Courtois. It wasn't pretty, but it was a goal.

Barcelona manage to craft some of their famous triangles on the left and Dembele sells two dummies before shooting. Just wide.

That left foot of his just isn't firing thus far. His shot was weak, but such is the low confidence of the Barca keeper he makes a mess of the save.

He hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, but he still makes the ordinary look so special.

It's baby steps, but Barcelona's front three are just squeezing Modric and Kroos a little more, limiting their influence further up the field.

Ousmane Dembele has been quiet so far and can only shoot over from range. Way over.

Real Madrid fail to pick up De Jong again but again he can only find the palms of Courtois with the header.

More direct from Barcelona as they launch the ball to their target man. He places his header into the grateful hands of Courtois. A change of tactics, perhaps?
