Full time

You will really struggle to find a neutral fan who thinks this was a fair result.

Barcelona get the win, but only after an unfair red card was given to Gary Medel and after a handball-assisted game-tying goal from Barcelona.

Thanks for joining me here and please keep an eye out for my post-match review.

More on the goal

Wow, welcome back, David Villa!

Barca's No.7 has gotten yet another goal off the bench after taking a beautiful ball from Lio Messi to put a gorgeous left-footed shot past Palop.

90+'—GOOOOOOOOOL Villa!!!!

More on the goal

More controversy here as Thiago gets away with a handball just before sending the ball to Messi who gives Fabregas the tying goal there.

Sevilla will rightly feel undone here.

88'—GOOOOOOOOOLL Fabregas!!!!

87'—Villa misses!

This might have been one instance where some selfishness was needed from David Villa.

Messi puts him through on goal and Villa has a clear chance to score, but passes the ball off instead.

86'—Wall holds on

Sevilla's four-man wall stops Xavi's goal.

85'—Late winner in order?

Barcelona have earned another foul outside the box as Fabregas goes down.

Xavi to take the clinching goal.

80'—Final substitution

The sixth and final change is made as Negredo comes off for Luna.

79'—Substitutions

I missed two changes here and there is also a new one.

Busquets came on for Thiago while Kondogbia was subbed on for Rakitic.

David VIlla come on at the 79th minute for Alves. Barcelona now out of subs.

Cesc Fàbregas' goal against Sevilla today is his first for Barcelona since February 8th, in the Copa del Rey against Valencia.

75'—Final 15 minutes

We're almost at the final whistle and Los Rojiblancos will struggle to hold off the Catalans now that they are down to 10 men.

Very unfair finish looks in order right now.

Min 66: Dangerous free kick for Barça just outside of Sevilla's area. #FCBLive

71'—Red card Gary Medel

Wow, controversy here!

Just minutes after Busquets avoided a red card for a dangerous tackle, Gary Medel earns a straight red for barely touching Cesc Fabregas.

The two midfielders come together and touch faces, but Fabregas sells the foul.

The ref is then surrounded by Barcelona players who help him make a poor decision.

70'—Substitution

Tello comes on for Sanchez who is having a poor match so far.

69'—Yellow card Busquets

Sergio Busquets lucky not to be red-carded here as he goes in studs up on Cicinho and sends the Brazilian down for a couple of minutes.

Yellow card given.

Momentum proving fickle

We're nearing the 70-minute mark and there is just no telling who the better team is right now.

Both teams are getting chances to score and Sevilla is doing well with their time on the break.

Either side can win this match.

65'—Penalty claim for Sevilla!

Wow, that was close.

Jesus Navas sends in a perfect ball for Negredo who has space to shoot, but it is with his off foot.

Jordi Alba clips the striker who goes to ground, but no penalty is given.

Negredo appeared to agree with the call.

A superb Messi free kick was dipping just under cross bar, until Palop's outstretched hand tipped it over. Brilliant save.

63'—Navas cross in, no one to help

Jesus Navas breaks through with a great chance for a cross and lots of space, but his ball in goes straight to Alves with no teammates to receive.

WHAT.A.SAVE - Palop take a bow!

60'—Superb save from Palop!

The Argentinian has earned a foul outside the box after breaking past a few defenders.

Messi sends a perfect ball over and around the wall but the 38-year-old keeper makes a fabulous save to deny Barcelona.

Min 57: Alexis nearly equalises! Best minutes of the match for the Blaugrana. #FCBLive
