What an effort that was from Pedri just before the half-time whistle.

The young midfielder hits a beautiful half-volley that went whiskers wide of the post. That certainly would have made things very different going into the break.

Wow, wow, wow. Vincius Jr cooly slots home the penalty.

The Brazilian has a FIRST-HALF HAT-TRICK already. What a start to this final.

Barcelona’s Arujo is judged to have pushed Vinicius Jr, the nightmare start for Xavi’s side continues.

The Polish striker has pulled one back in spectacular fashion.

A bouncing ball comes over to Lewandoski on the edge of the box who volleys it in to the right-hand corner of the goal.

What is going on?! Barcelona are sliced open a game and Vinicius scores the simplest of tap-ins.

The Brazilian is already on course for a hat-trick less than 10 minutes in!

A disastrous start for the Catalan side. A ludicrously high line mixed with a mistake lets Vinicius in.

The game is underway! What a night we have in store as Barcelona look to turn their season around.

The big news coming from the Barcelona line-up is that young Spanish midfielder Pedri is fit to play.
