    Almost time to go, we're just going through all the pre-match pleasantries. 

  2. Real Betis v Barcelona (19:30 BST)

    I was wondering if Barcelona's president had seen into the future before realising he was talking about their handball team...

  3. Atletico Madrid 1-0 Rayo Vallecano

    Atletico Madrid match-winner Antoine Griezmann:  “The match got complicated but the team has reacted well to win. 

    “Now we have to rest, a nice match awaits us on Tuesday [Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-final second leg]."

    Can we see any way Barcelona don't win this game to go back to the top of La Liga?

    Real Betis are 13th in the table - pretty much safe from relegation.

    Luis Suarez has scored eight goals in his last two games (not a typo) so surely we won't get our third 1-0 of the day will we?

    Let me know your thoughts using #bbceurofooty on Twitter.

  6. Real Betis v Barcelona (19:30 BST)

    Some people had said the league was already over, I said it wasn't. I was right. It’s unlikely the teams chasing us will slip up. After all the pressure, whichever team wins the title will really deserve it. This is the most exciting time of the season. I'd like to see our opponents lose, but the result won't change whether or not I watch.

  7. Real Betis v Barcelona (19:30 BST)

    I want Barcelona to win the title, that’s obvious. I’m defending Betis' jersey though, and as a player and professional, I want to play and win every game. I want to win this weekend. I owe everything to this badge and I have to defend it until the end. Let’s hope that Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid lose so Barcelona wins the league.

  8. LINE-UPS

    Real Betis v Barcelona (19:30 BST)

    Barcelona only make one change from their 6-0 win over Sporting Gijon this time last week. Dani Alves comes in for Sergi Roberto at right-back. He replaced the youngster at half-time last week anyway so no surprise there.

    Luis Suarez has scored four goals in each of his last two games.

    Martin Montoya starts against his parent club at right-back for Real Betis.

    Barcelona: Bravo, Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Jordi Alba, Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta, Messi, Suarez, Neymar.  

    Real Betis: Adan, Bruno, Pezella, Westerman, Montoya, Cejudo, Petros, N'Diaye, Ceballos, Joaquin, Castro.

  9. Real Betis v Barcelona (19:30 BST)

    It's time to turn our attentions to the final La Liga game of this title race triple bill tonight -Real Betis v Barcelona.

  10. Real Sociedad 0-1 Real Madrid

    I'm happy for him because he's had a lot of problems with injuries this year. When he's well he plays and when I see him score it makes me happy for him and for the team. He could have scored in the first half. Gareth has had a few problems this season. But he is able to play and cope just like Cristiano. He can play a lot of games. He's recovering really well physically. That fact he's scored in a game like today's is good going in to Wednesday.

  11. Atletico Madrid 1-0 Rayo Vallecano

    If anyone wants to know tonight's lottery numbers, just give me a shout.

    Atletico Madrid.

  12. The La Liga table as it stands...

    1. Atletico Madrid Pts 85 (P 36)  

    1. Real Madrid Pts 84 (P 36)

    2. Barcelona Pts 82 (P 35)

  13. What a title race this is proving to be. 

    Does this remind anyone else of the promotion race from League Two? No? Just me?

  14. FULL-TIME - Atletico Madrid 1-0 Rayo Vallecano

    Atletico Madrid are the third team today to be top of La Liga. They will remain there if Barcelona fail to beat Real Betis in their match which kicks off in under half an hour.

  15. Atletico Madrid 1-0 Rayo Vallecano

    Atletico Madrid now have the ball in the corner. But they try to work the ball into the box and Rayo break.

    Luckily for the hosts, they overhit a pass and it's a throw-in to Atletico.

  16. Atletico Madrid 1-0 Rayo Vallecano

    Atletico Madrid keeper Jan Oblak comes out of his goal to catch a ball into the box. He clashes into a couple of players, and is in no rush to get back up...

  17. INJURY TIME

    Atletico Madrid 1-0 Rayo Vallecano

    Three minutes added on for Atletico Madrid to see this out.

  18. Atletico Madrid 1-0 Rayo Vallecano

    Can Atletico Madrid hold on? They are holding on at the moment...

  19. Atletico Madrid 1-0 Rayo Vallecano

    Rayo Vallecano are having a go - Adri Embarba shoots from an angle and Jan Oblak touches it out for a corner. Atletico disagree and think the ball had gone out for a goal-kick already.

    It matters not as Oblak holds the corner.

  20. SUBSTITUTION

    Atletico Madrid 1-0 Rayo Vallecano

    I know I did this joke earlier but it was so good, I'm doing it again... A real Piti for Rayo Vallecano as they have to bring off their earlier substitute through injury. 

    Joni Montiel, who is just 17, replaces him.
