1566574124Hello and welcome to Standard Sport's live coverage of Barcelona vs Real Betis at Camp Nou. Tonight's hosts fell to a shock opening-night loss to Athletic Bilbao last week thanks to Aritz Aduriz's stunning late winner, while 10-man Betis also conceded a crucial late goal in a 2-1 defeat by Real Valladolid. Stay tuned for all the latest team news and live updates...
Photo: Getty ImagesMessi returned to full training with the group on Wednesday, but coach Ernesto Valverde said on Saturday that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner might not play against Betis and he was left out altogether when the squad was announced later that night. With Ousmane Dembele ruled out for five weeks, Luis Suarez also sidelined and Philippe Coutinho now at Bayern Munich after moving to the German champions on loan last Monday, Valverde will have selection problems in attack for Sunday's game. In light of all those absences and with Messi also excluded, Valverde has called up 16-year-old Guinea-Bissau-born youth striker Ansu Fati for the game against Betis, which kicks off at 21:00 CET. 1566750871How will Barcelona line up with Messi, Suarez and Dembele all out? Barcelona have problems in attack for Sunday night's La Liga clash at home to Real Betis as Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele are all out.
1566747977Messi left out of Barcelona squad for Betis gameLionel Messi has been left out of the squad for Barcelona’s La Liga game at home to Real Betis tonight as he recovers from a calf injury. The Argentine attacker missed Barca's trip to the United States to play Napoli in Miami and Michigan as he picked up the problem on his very first day of pre-season training and has been working to come back ever since. He was left out of the squad for the Catalans' La Liga opener at Athletic Club last Friday, playing no part in the 1-0 loss at San Mames, but it was thought he would be back for Sunday's game against Betis at Camp Nou.
1566756136Carles Perez starts in depleted Barca attackErnesto Valverde has handed a first La Liga start to Carles Perez as Barcelona aim to cope without Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele. Photo: AFP The 21-year-old impressed in pre-season and looked lively when coming off the bench against Athletic last week, and the winger has been rewarded with a start alongside Antoine Griezmann and Rafinha as part of the front three. Sergio Busquets is recalled to the starting XI after being benched for the 1-0 defeat at San Mames last week, with Carles Alena missing out on the 18-man squad. Sergi Roberto gets the nod ahead of Ivan Rakitic in midfield, and that means Nelson Semedo will continue at right-back.
1566757627De Jong set for more advanced roleBarcelona's €75 million summer signing Frenkie de Jong played instead of Sergio Busquets in the 1-0 defeat at San Mames nine days ago, but both men are in the team tonight. De Jong played the role of pivot against Athletic Club, but should feature in a more advanced position tonight as Busquets returns to the starting line-up. Photo: AFPThe two midfielders barely played together in pre-season, so it will be interesting to see how it works out tonight against Betis.
Young striker Carles Perez then picked his spot to send a low shot past Martin from the edge of the box after 56 minutes and the match effectively ended as a contest as Jordi Alba made it 4-1 on the hour when he ran onto a Busquets pass and hit a low effort inside the goalkeeper’s left-hand post. Substitute Arturo Vidal thumped in a fifth with 12 minutes left and although Loren pulled one back with a fierce drive from outside the box at the other end, Valverde’s side were in full control. There was also a debut for 16-year-old Guinea-Bissau-born forward Ansu Fati and he showed glimpses of his talent in the final minutes as Barca impressed in the absence of Messi and Suarez to show that they remain the team to beat in La Liga this season.

Griezmann nets brace as five-star Barcelona thrash Real BetisAntoine Griezmann hit his first goals for Barcelona as the champions came from behind to thrash Real Betis 5-2 at Camp Nou on Sunday. Ernesto Valverde’s side had lost their LaLiga opener to Athletic Club nine days ago and were without Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele for this one because of injuries. They had lost this fixture 4-3 to Betis last season and despite dominating the first half, they found themselves behind against the run of play when Loren Moron spotted a run from Nabil Fekir and the France midfielder slotted a fine finish into the corner from an angle. Barca dipped slightly after that, but backed by their vocal fans, the Catalans continued to attack and Griezmann levelled four minutes before the break as he latched onto a fine ball by Sergi Roberto and hit a volley past Dani Martin, who perhaps should have done better. Griezmann then fired Barca ahead in spectacular style early in the second half when he bent a brilliant curler past Martin with his left foot from the corner of the area and celebrated with his arms aloft in front of the home fans.

Messi is still recovering from a calf injury and has been left out after only returning to full training on Wednesday, while Suarez is sidelined with a similar problem sustained in last Friday's 1-0 loss away to Athletic Club at San Mames and Dembele was ruled out for five weeks on Monday with a hamstring issue. With Malcom sold to Zenit Saint Petersburg earlier in the summer and Philippe Coutinho now on loan at Bayern Munich, options are limited for coach Ernesto Valverde in the second round of the competition. Summer signing Antoine Griezmann is a certain starter at Camp Nou and he could be joined in attack by Rafinha, who was Barca's best player at San Mames. Photo: APYoung striker Carles Perez could also feature from the outset after coming off the bench in Bilbao, while Valverde has called up 16-year-old forward Ansu Fati, who plays for the club's Juvenil A side.
