Yellow card for Martinez for a foul on Lamine Yamal, just outside the box.

Balde's cross from the left found Raphina inside the box. 

However, his header missed the target by few inches.

3 minutes of the injury time. 

Yellow card for Balde for dissent. 

De La Fuente's header goes wide. He had made a timely run to meet the ball from the lofted free-kick. Huge chance.

Lamine Yamal plays a quick one-two and then goes for a shot with his left foot. Normally, you expect him to do better here but his weak shot goes straight to Cunat.

A chaos inside the box by Levante defender and Pedri found Ferran inside the box.

Although he was nearly one-on-one against Cunat, he hit the crossbar.

After lots of passes and plays, Pedri decided to make a quick turn and take a shot from the edge of the box.

The 38-year-old striker had timed his run perfectly. But Marc Casado won the ball back from him inside the box.

No offside this time, and Ivan Romero scores for Levante. 

Toljan tapped the cross from the left, and Romero first played the dummy and then went for the goal to beat Joan Garcia.

Levante 0-1 Barcelona

Balde's shot from the edge of the box was deflected and it could have gone anywhere. It goes for a corner.

Marcus Rashford tries his luck with a lofted shot from the left. But Cunat was cautious and made the save.

I think you will have to hear this term all over the next 90 minutes. Barcelona are playing in the midfield, actually. 

On the left, inside the box, he nearly dribbled past three defenders before he was blocked, and Barcelona won the corner.

Morales scores for Levante but he is offside by a mile. 

Except for Morales, everyone is keeping their position, and Levante's shape is 5-4-1, and they would look to score in a counterattack. 

Raphinha, who is playing a bit central tonight, takes a shot from outside the box. He skied the ball up in the air while doing that.

Rashford, on the left, from close range, wanted to score from the byline. However, Cunat, who is the main goalkeeper of Spain U-21 team, made the save.

Do not know if he was looking for Rashford or if he was going for the goal, but Lamine could not get a proper connection. The deflection allowed Barcelona have thier first corner.

From the start, Barcelona has kept a very high line. Ivan Romaro was caught offside.

Here we go! Barcelona in green start the proceedings in Valencia.

Ward-Prowse is fouled by Fofana, and it is a free-kick from the edge of the 'D' box for the home side.

First yellow card for the night. Hato gets the yellow card for kicking the ball away.

Estevao received a through ball from the middle and nearly went one-on-one against the goalkeeper.

But, Wilson was not on target with his header. 

Andrey Santos replaces Delap.

Again from the corner, the ball was not cleared well, and Chalobah found the net with a cross-footed shot.

In his 100th Chelsea match, Moises Caicedo scores. 

From the corner, Hermansen came out but could not clear the ball fully. 

It fell in perfectly for Caicedo to finish it with his right toe.

However, his attempt went over the goal.

Changes for West Ham at the start of the second half. 

Freddie Potts replaces Jean-Clair Todibo. Callum Wilson replaces Niclas Füllkrug.

After that solid start, West Ham could not hold onto their lead as Chelsa turned the game on their head to make it 3-1 for Chelsea.

Three points to start the season. Mbappe with the goal from the spot. 

Osasuna would not be disappointed either, as they have been able to avoid a big defeat at the Bernabeu. The red card at the end could have been avoided as well.

Real Madrid 1-0 Osasuna.

A direct red card has been shown to Bretones for a foul on Gonzalo on the byline. Unnecessary from the Osasuna midfielder.

Although he has given the ball away a few times, he has been fearless and quick to make movements. Future.

5 minutes added the full time.

In: Ceballos

Out: Guler

Mastantuono's left-footed attempt from left, from close range, was saved by Herera.

After defending for a long time, they are finally looking to score that goal. 

From the corner, Budimir had the chance to head the ball inside the goal. However, his header went over the post.

In: Raul

Out: Gomez

Carvajal had to come running and make a sliding challenge to stop Munez.

Can Osasuna score, or will Real Madrid score another goal to earn the full points?

In: Gonzalo Garcia

Out: Vinicius Jr.

Out: Aimer

Second cooling break of the match.

Mastantuono's corner had found Tchouaméni. But, his headed attempt missed the far post by a few inches.

Vinicius's cross from the left was about to find Mastantuono, who was waiting in the middle of the box for a header.

But, Torro came in between and deflected it for a corner.

In: Trent, Brahim

Out: Carvajal, Mastantuono

In: Munoz

Out: Ruben Garcia.

Chance for Osasuna as Bretones's shot from the byline on the left went through the legs of Trent, and then it was saved by Courtois.

No changes from either team as Osasuna get us away in the second half. 

Target achieved for Osasuna as they have been able to head into the tunnel without conceding a goal. 

They defended deep and worked hard to frustrate the Los Blancos. 

Mbappe had a few chances, Vinicius too, Huijsen took a few shots, while Militao also was on target once. But, still, they have not been able to break the shackles. 

Real Madrid 0-0 Osasuna at halftime.

Bretones makes a good block as Mbappe's spectacular acrobatic attempt from close range was negotiated well. 

Boyomo had pushed down Vinicius inside the box as he went for the ball. 

But the push was not that hard to call as a penalty. 

Huijsen takes another chance as there were no Real Madrid players inside the box.

He took the chance but was not on target. 

For the first time in the match, Osasuna had the chance to go for the goal. 

Militao's clearance was not good, and it fell right for Budimir to go for the goal. 

However, from the edge of the box, a bit left, he missed the target. 

Vinicius has now taken Mbappe's spot and went for a shot from left, towards the far post. 

He missed the shot completely. 

The Osasuna striker does the defending as Trent looked for Mbappe with a lobbed free-kick.

From the right of the box, Mbappe targeted the far post with a curling effort. However, the ball did not curl enough to get into the goal. 

A warm welcome for Jude Bellingham, who is in attendance tonight. He will miss the first few weeks due to the shoulder injury.

He will have to keep making these saves. 

Real Madrid are now looking to shoot from outside the box. 

Eder Militao, from 30 meters, went for a long shot. It bounced and was swinging as well. A good dive and save from Herrera 

Vini's cutback from the byline found Mbappe. However, his turning left-footed attempt was not good enough to beat Herrera. 

It was not a good save, but it was safe. 

Real Madrid have looked to try a few different things with Huijsen coming a bit forward, Mbappe switching to the left and other things. 

But, Osasuna have been solid, brave and aggressive in defence. 

Huijsen's right-footed volley from outside the box has been dealt well by Herrera. 

The ball was going away from him and had bounced in front of him. But a well strechted dive helped him to make the save.

A perfectly timed challenge from Boyomo as he won the ball from Kylian Mbappe, who has swiftly changed the side and then tried to make a way through the defenders.

Not sure yet, but surely it is all defensive from the Osasuna team. They are looking to frustrate the Los Blancos and go goalless in the first 20 minutes.

Enough of waiting for Carreras. He goes for the goal from the left of the box with a left-footed shot. He missed the far post by a meter. 

It is not three, but five people in defence for Osasuna. Madrid are keeping the ball and waiting for a mistake from the opponent. 

Osasuna have looked to defend from the start. Although they have a high line, they have been able to stop Vinicius from making a move on the left. The have kept the back-four intact quite well.

Here we go!

It was a crazy match indeed. Barcelona started well. Mallorca started in the worst possible way. 

Raphinha scored early. Ferran scored while Mallorca players thought the game had stopped. The referee did not whistle, and the game continued despite the head injury. The goal stayed. 

Morlanes received two yellow cards to get sent off, while Muriqui was shown a direct red card for a high boot on Joan Garcia. 

Mallorca did well to concede only one more goal despite being down to nine men. 

Lamine scored the late goal and bagged the player of the match for one goal and one assist.

Mallorca 0-1 FC Barcelona

This time, the Mallorca defender was able to negate a through pass from Frankie de Jong. This could have been dangerous, considering the number of Barcelona players were inside the box.

But Mojica was there to block that.
