ZuluBarcelona 1-1 Atletico Madrid
58: You wonder whether Oblak has offended Suarez somehow as the Barcelona forward collides with the goalkeeper in the air and hurts him for a second time in this game.
Barcelona face Atletico Madrid in the second semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup tonight hoping to book their place in the final against fierce rivals Real Madrid.
The competition is controversially being hosted in Saudi Arabia for the first time, with both semi-finals and the final being played at King Abdullah Sports City.
Late Lionel Messi magic earned the La Liga champions three points at the Wanda Metropolitano in December but the 13-time champions are without key personnel in goal and in midfield for this clash. Follow it live:

56: Oblak brilliant denies Griezmann.
Barcelona quickly turn over possession and release Griezemann in behind the defence. He dries a precise chip over the goalkeeper and Oblak is forced to use every inch of his height to pat it away.

53: The Atletico Madrid goal aside, Barcelona have started this half much like how they finished the first. Patient and everything coming through Messi. It's almost worrying where they'd be without him.

48: There's a couple of whispers that Valverde might find himself further up a certain creek if Barcelona don't return to Catalunya with the trophy. His side's lapse in concentration right after the restart will not sit well with him.

The players are just about to make their way back onto the pitch for the second half. We go to extra time and possibly penalties if there is no winner after 90 minutes.

Barcelona 0-0 Atletico Madrid
Barcelona have had much the better chances are may be a touch disappointed to not be leading at the break. Griezmann, Messi and Suarez have all looked lively, but Oklak has been equal to everything thrown his way.

39: Barcelona have their best chance of the game and once again Oblak stands firm.
Suarez finds Griezmann on the left in space, the Frenchman travels into the box and fires a shot straight at the goalkeeper.
You sense a Barcelona goal is on its way.

36: Vidal has space on the right and crosses low to Suarez, he has a first-time shot and...is that Felipe's hand that blocks it? VAR is having a look as the play continues. No penalty says VAR.
That, @PremierLeague is how to use VAR. The stadium screen immediately showed that a VAR check was in place and it swiftly concluded that there was no handball.

34: This is strange. Thomas has been shown a yellow card as a Barcelona corner comes in, presumably for a push on Umtiti. Is this a penalty? No. The ball wasn't deemed to be in play despite the ball arriving in the box shortly after.

Barcelona 0-0 Atletico Madrid
33: That's so close.
Messi's corner is flicked on at the near post and Savic gets a last-ditch head to the ball to divert it from Suarez, who had a tap in if he missed it.

32: The free-kick is from a tight angle and Herrera decides to shoot, testing out Neto at the near post and the ball is saved with relative ease.
PREVIEW
When is it?
Kick-off is at 7pm on Thursday 9 January at King Abdullah Sports City. The final is at 6pm on Sunday 12 January at the same venue.
How can I watch it?
The match is not available to watch in either Spain or the UK. Spanish television broadcasters decided to boycott the Spanish Super Cup following the controversial decision to host the tournament in Saudi Arabia.
Predicted line-ups
Barcelona: Neto; Roberto, Pique, Lenglet, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, Vidal; Messi, Suarez, Griezmann
Atletico: Oblak; Trippier, Felipe, Gimenez, Lodi; Correa, Herrera, Thomas, Saul; Felix, Morata
Team news
Barcelona are without first choice goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who has suffered in injury to the tendon of his right knee. Neto is expected to start in the German’s absence, while the defending champions are also without the injured Ousmae Dembele and Arthur. Frenkie de Jong is suspended after being sent off for two bookable offences in the 2-2 draw at Espanyol.
Long-term absentees Stefan Savic and Diego Costa are a big miss for Atletico, while captain Koke is also a doubt after missing the last two matches with a thigh problem.
