    Three minutes of normal time remaining. This has been another master-class by Barca. Few would bet against them winning another five trophies in 2016 on this evidence.

    Lionel Messi...Neymar....Luis Suarez....back of the net. Another wonderful move by Barca ends in a fourth goal. Suarez deserves that for his efforts. It came after Neymar's mis-hit flick bobbled and fell to the former Liverpool man.

    Luis Enrique will be delight at ending 2015 at the top of La Liga but he will also be mystified why his team is not further ahead. Astonishing attacking play by Barca.

    Barcelona hit the woodwork - for the fourth time!

    You know the scenario by now..free-kick, Messi, ball thunders off the bar.

    I lost count long ago of how many chances Barca have had. They've just had two more in the space of a minute - Dani Alves' lob comes back off the crossbar before Suarez is clean through and can't finish. This could easily have been double figures.

    The mood inside the Nou Camp is in stark contrast to that in the Bernabeu earlier. Real Madrid might have won but the natives aren't happy. Barca's fans are out of their seats applauding every attack. And the man on the drum is whipping up a frenzy.

    Free-kick to Barca. Messi or Neymar? It's Messi...and he brings a finger-tip save from Antonio Adan who pushes it on to the bar.

    The Betis defence has all but given up. A long ball finds Neymar is acres of space inside the penalty area before a last-ditch challenge denies the Brazilian a certain goal.

    Incredible. Neymar to Messi whose point-blank shot is blocked. Seconds later Neymar hits the post with Betis's defence all over the place. Then Messi brings a great save. Betis players look as though they want the final whistle already.

    Sergio Busquets' night is complete. He goes off to a rousing reception and on comes Marc Bartra to join the party.
