Game is over and the final score is Malaga 0-2 Barcelona. Coutinho and Suarez get the goals after Garcia had had that red card early in the game, and Barca have come through unscathed ahead if the visit of Chelsea.
Match Events
15' GOAL! Malaga 0-1 Barcelona (Suarez)
Goal! Barcelona have taken a 0-1 lead courtesy of a header from Luis Suarez.
Paulinho clips a neat ball to Jordi Alba out on the left flank and the full-back takes his sweet time in lifting his head, sizing up the run of Suarez and lifting a lovely floaty ball into the box, and all your man Suarez has to do is nod it gently forward and it loops into Roberto's bottom corner.
28' GOAL! Malaga 0-2 Barcelona (Coutinho)
Great finish from Philippe Coutinho to give Barcelona a 0-2 lead.
Dembele, finally beginning to make an impact after that horror injury, slides a low cross into the six-yard box and Coutinho makes the smallest contact with the back heel and it just rolls past Roberto.
30' Red Card! S.Garcia sent off
72: Sergio Roberto is withdrawn for Barca and Gomes trots on.
Full-time:
Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho scored as Barcelona warmed up for their Champions League last-16 meeting with Chelsea by dispatching La Liga strugglers Malaga 2-0 at La Rosaleda.

Dembele have been superb today.. It's looking like we have seen the Dortmund Demebel here with us for the first time.. He's very confident with the ball. This is by far his best performance as a Barca player.. 3 points earned...
