Ousmane Dembele scored the winning goal, as Barcelona started their 2018/2019 season with victory in the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday. The LaLiga champions went behind, after Pablo Sarabia curled his effort past Marc-Andre ter Stegen in the 9th minute. The goal was awarded once VAR had overruled an initial offside decision. Barcelona levelled a minute before the break, when Gerard Pique turned in the rebound after Lionel Messi’s free-kick hit a post. Both sides looked capable of finding a winner in the second half, but Dembele’s thumping drive won it with 12 minutes left. But there was time for Wissam Ben Yedder’s penalty to be saved by Ter Stegen.

HERE FOR THE FOOD The party does not really have to interesting or lively, these set of partygoers are only interested in the food, and once they have eaten, and possibly secured take-away, they start to plot their exit. THE SLAYERS Latecomers by nature, the slayers love to make a glorious entrance; they are there to stun and show-stop. They often end up outdressing, outglamming the bride and groom or celebrants, as the case may be. THE GATECRASHERS Some people make it a duty to go in search of a party ...
