We're underway at the Camp Nou.
Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the LaLiga clash between Barcelona and Malaga at the Nou Camp.
Barcelona's 100% record was ended in LaLiga in their last match, drawing 1-1 with Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitana. Luis Suarez scored a late goal to earn the point after Ernesto Valverde's men trailed to Saul Niguez's opener. They defeated Olympiacos with relative ease during the week and will be looking for another strong performance this evening.
Malaga are rock bottom of the LaLiga table after claiming only one points from their opening eight matches. Michel Gonzalez’s side were beaten 2-0 by Leganes last week and are looking in a host of trouble this evening without the services of Jose Recio and Zdravko Kuzmanovic in the middle of the park.
The team news has been annouced and we'll start with the home side.
BARCELONA (4-3-3): Ter Stegen; Sergi Roberto, Mascherano, Umtiti, Digne; Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta; Messi, Suarez, Deulofeu.
Barcelona subs: Semedo, Pique, Denis Suarez, Cillessen, Paulinho, Alcacer, Gomes.
Valverde has made two changes from his side's win over Olympiacos. Javier Mascherano and Ivan Raktic come into the fold to replace Paulinho and Gerard Pique, with both players dropping to the bench this evening.
Andres Prieto, Gonzalo Castro, Adrian Gonzalez and Keko start for Malaga this evening in four changes made from their defeat to Leganes last time out.
FLASHBACK! Barcelona were held to a goalless draw by Malaga in their meeting at the Camp Nou last season, while they were beaten 2-0 in their clash on the road.
The players are out on the pitch, so we should be underway shortly.
HALF-TIME: BARCELONA 1-0 MALAGA
Barcelona lead Malaga 1-0 at the break at the Camp Nou through Gerard Deulofeu's controversial strike. The home side took the lead in the second minute when the winger converted Lucas Digne's cross, but the ball had gone out before the Frenchman had sent it in from the left flank. However, the officials did not spot it and the goal counted. The Catalan club have been far from their best this evening and there have been opportunities for Malaga, but Gonzalo Castro has spurned two good chances in the box.
The players are back out on the pitch, so we should be underway shortly.
FULL-TIME: BARCELONA 2-0 MALAGA
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
Barcelona secure a comfortable 2-0 win this evening over Malaga to extend their lead at the top of LaLiga. Goals from Gerard Deulofeu and Andres Iniesta were enough to secure the win, although Deulofeu's effort should not have counted as the ball was out of play in the build-up. Malaga battled well in the contest and could have found themselves back in the game had Gonzalo Castro taken his opportunities. However, Michel's men remain bottom of the table, with only one point from nine matches.
