  1. Same time, same place tomorrowpublished at 21:50

    Thanks for joining us today. The big game tomorrow on the continent is title-challenging Inter Milan v struggling Serie A champions Juventus. That one's a 19:45 BST kick-off - with the live text starting around 19:15.

  2. Everything could change...published at 21:46

    The top of La Liga has a familiar look to it. Real Madrid are top from Barcelona on goal difference.

    But that could change tomorrow when Villarreal play Celta Vigo (11:00 BST). A win for the Yellow Submarine would take them back to the top, while a Celta victory would see them squeeze in between the top two on goal difference.

  3. Rayo the possession kingspublished at 21:40

    The last time Barcelona finished a La Liga game with less possession than their opponents was September 2013 - also against Rayo Vallecano (45.73%).

    Andre Gomes has just put Valencia 2-0 up against Malaga, smashing the ball past Carlos Kameni at the near post after picking the ball up outside the box and beating three defenders.

    Barca have conceded 11 goals so far in eight games. This time last season they hadn't conceded one! 

    A year ago tomorrow they became the first La Liga team in history to open a season with eight consecutive clean sheets.

    I know some people admire good defending as an art. But give me total chaos and mayhem any day.

    A brilliantly farcical game where defending was seemingly banned comes to an end.

    This game is just petering out.

    Rayo keeper Tono had gone for a walkabout and Luis Suarez considers chipping him, but instead tries to play it to Munir El Haddadi, but a defender cuts it out. Probably should have been 6-2 there. We're in the last minute now.

    Jozabed

    Barcelona fail to deal with a cross properly and Jozabed volleys into the bottom left-hand corner. Rayo have deserved a goal for their second-half performance.

    Four goals for Neymar and one for Luis Suarez - will Lionel Messi even get back in the team when he recovers?

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 78 mins

    Barcelona make their final change as Douglas replaces fellow Brazilian right-back Dani Alves. I could come on at full-back at this stage, mind, and Barca would still win.

    Luis Suarez

    Four goals and an assist for Neymar. This time the Brazilian crosses to Luis Suarez, who smashes home at the far post. 

    This scoreline doesn't tell the story of the game at all. Rayo were dominant at the start of the half.

    Barcelona make a change as captain Sergio Busquets is replaced by B team player Gerard Gumbau. Gerard Pique takes the armband.

    Luis Suarez clashes with Rayo defender Ze Castro and the Uruguayan is holding his teeth...

    But this time he hasn't tried to eat his opponent, it was only a clash.
