It was so close! Diao was looking for Como's first goal of the match. The forward arrived alone in the box to go for that consolation goal for the Italians, but his shot went over the goal without achieving anything.
Back and forth on the Johan Cruyff pitch, both teams have failed to generate any danger in the opponent's half, and opportunities continue to slip away without anyone achieving anything. They need more ingenuity.
Everything is played in the midfield. After the substitutions, Barcelona slowed down and ended up losing a lot of ground, but they have had little work to do in this second half. Cubarsí is the one who has had the most interventions.
Cubarsí makes his presence felt in the box once again, the defender manages to prevent Como from getting into danger and takes the ball away from the forward. What a great save the player made at the end of the match.
More changes for the Blaugrana squad, as Hansi Flick continues to tweak his squad. Gerard Martín, Christensen, Roony, Toni Fernández, and Pedro Fernández are all out of the match. Alejandro Balde, Ronald Araújo, Lamine Yamal, Gavi, and Raphinha.
That's it. It was Cubarsí who managed to prevent the play orchestrated by the Como team from being finished in the direction of the goal to look for the first, a great intervention with his leg to move the ball away from García's goal.
It's Como who makes another change for his team. Sergi Roberto, who emerged from Barcelona's youth academy to applause from the Blaugrana fans, comes on to try to create more balance and play, and Máximo Perrone comes on.
Two more changes are coming to the Barcelona team. Gavi and Marc Casadó are the players who will enter the goal. Pedri and Frenkie de Jong are leaving after a good run and many great plays they made in the match.
Lamine Yamal was once again looking for a goal in Butez's goal, but after sending a powerful shot at goal looking for the sixth, it was the same goalkeeper who confidently saved the shot, preventing further danger.
The match was back and forth, late on, but Como has woken up and is looking for different ways to attack Joan García's goal. There is little threat in this area, but the Italian side is now seeing more attacks.
Close call! He's starting to create interesting plays and orchestrate shots into the box. On this occasion, Lucas Cunha dared to shoot the ball from the edge of the box, but the shot ended up going wide of the target.
Como's changes: three substitutions will be made. Assane Diao, Maxene Caqueret, and Alberto Moreno come into the match looking to create more play in the box; Addai, Moreno, and Álex Valle come off after looking for multiple options in the box.
Close call! Great intervention by Joan García, it was Como who was looking for the first chance of the match with several passes looking for the goal, however it was Addai who failed to put his ball into the back of the net.
Goal, goal, goal, goal for Barcelona! Lamine Yamal appeared again, the player sent a tremendous shot into the goal, scoring another goal. That's five for the Blaugrana, and Como is nowhere to be seen.
The ball is moved to begin the second half of this match. Barcelona makes two substitutions for the second half. Eric García and Marcus Rashford come off after a great performance; Jules Koundé and Ferrán Torres come on.
Como also makes one substitution. Anastasios Douvikas, Ignace van der Brempt, and Iván Azón come off, and Jesús Rodríguez, Jacobo Ramón, and Lucas Da Cunha come on.

Halftime! The first half is over, and the scoreboard is already a thrashing in favor of the Blaugrana team, who are now leading four goals to zero. A rather complex match in which Como hasn't found its way.
What a mistake he made! Rashford arrived in the box, the goalkeeper came out, the player continued driving, but when he shot, he ended up sending the ball completely wide of the goal. What a mistake by the player.
There's still time! The first 45 minutes of regulation time have already passed, but there's still a bit more to play before the half is over. Como is struggling to find a way to create danger up front.
Goal, goal, goal, goal for Barcelona! Great play from Raphinha, he had just put a shot from Balde on goal looking for the fourth, however this time the ball landed in the legs of Yamal who finished with the goal alone to score his double.
Goal, goal, goal, goal for Barcelona! The third goal came without any problems. Rashford reached the goal line, sent the cross into the box, and a powerful shot from Raphinha gave the Blaugrana their third and their first. What a great piece of play.
Goal, goal, goal, goal for Barcelona! Now Fermín appears. It was a good cross from the Blaugrana team that reached the youth team. It was Fermín who took the ball from outside the box, fired a powerful shot, and scored the second of the match. No one could clear that ball.
The match is now back on track, with the final stretch approaching where both teams will be looking to score goals and open their respective scoring. What a match this was for this busy close to the first half.
There's a break! Both teams pause the game to cool off a bit, the players head to their benches, and they can also chat a bit to correct any actions the coach doesn't like during these minutes. What a match.
After the goal, there weren't many really dangerous plays, despite both teams looking for ways to cause damage, they were unable to reach the goal, however, Como was now putting pressure on Joan García's goal.
Goal, goal, goal, goal for Barcelona! What a mistake Como made! The ball came to Fermin, who got it in front of goal. The player drove and fired a powerful shot into the back of the net to score the first goal.
It's hard to see where it's coming from. Despite both teams looking for a way to get to the opponent's goal, the ball hasn't been able to reach the goal on either side, and there's no clarity in the attack.
Lamine Yamal has yet to find a way to create damage up front. He hasn't had any clear opportunities to generate any interesting plays that would give him a clear finish, and the minutes are ticking by.
A fine save from Araújo, the player managed to sweep past him in a superb manner to prevent the ball from reaching Joan García's goal with great danger. The defense must be very alert to every attack. What a match.
Poor guy! Addai was moving forward in search of an all-out attack on García's goal, but the referee ruled out any play; the player was too far forward, so any forward play was ruled out. All lines must be taken care of.
Raphinha looks for ways to create danger in the opponent's half, but there's very good cover that prevents the player from causing damage in the opponent's half. They need more interesting ideas to go all out.
This is a very lively start, with both teams looking to gain possession, but neither succeeding. These are expected to be exciting moments with both teams looking to create danger up front. They need a lot of play.
The action has begun at the Johan Cruyff Stadium. The ball is already moving, and both Barcelona and Como are looking to secure a solid win. It will be a thrilling 90 minutes with both sides fully focused on the front line.
