I know.

What was he doing?

For some reason, Gareth Bale has a couple of nibbles at Viera's ankles as the Las Palmas man tries to get away from him.

Viera reacts by pushing Bale before the ex-Tottenham man uses great force to shove his opponent. Ref Fernandez Borbalan shows him a straight red. No other choice really. 

Strange behaviour from the Welshman.

Anyway, Real are down to 10.

Red for the Welshman. 

We are back under way at the Bernabeu.

Real players are talking among themselves in the tunnel.

I'm trying to lip read..

Morata: "I knew he'd go. He saw the Leicester job come up..."

Ramos: "Yeah, maybe. I think Lee Johnson might be teetering at Bristol City though."

I hope it doesn't take the Barcelona players more than two days to show their appreciation for Luis Enrique...

Nikul 11: He wants to leave while having his reputation intact. Understandable. Wouldn't be surprised if Barca go slightly left-field.

Matt Tallis: Highly unlikely but would be great to see Conte go to Barca, they only need improving defensively 

Who is set for (arguably) the biggest job in world football?

More from Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu:

If things remain as they are at the Bernabeu, Barca will lead La Liga by a point from Real going into the weekend, although Los Blancos will still have a game in hand.

It's worth bearing in mind that the Catalan giants are on an 18-match unbeaten streak in La Liga.

Tough lot to please eh?

It promised an avalanche of goals following those early goals, but it hasn't materialised.

Just as well because of that breaking news...

Mauricio Lemos - promising 22-year-old Uruguayan defender - produces a great challenge to put off Alvaro Morata from tucking in Cristiano Ronaldo's low square ball from the right.

The Barcelona president has spoken:

So earlier, Barcelona produced a superb display to defeat Sporting Gijon 6-1. It followed a great 2-1 win at Atletico at the weekend.

So Enrique announcing he would be leaving didn't seem to be on the cards.

Does the news come as a surprise, or was it a matter of when and not if?

Paul Clarke: Wenger to Barca for a year, Enrique to Juve, Allegri to Arsenal  

Unknown: Enrique leaving is fair enough, something has to change for Barca. Possible target for Arsenal? Who knows.

Apollo: shocked about Enrique leaving at the end of the season. Why would you leave that squad!

We will obviously bring you major updates from the match at the Bernabeu - but you understand why we might choose to focus on Luis Enrique leaving Barcelona.

Coach Luis Enrique is leaving Barcelona at the end of the season.

Pedro Bigas is taken off on a stretcher. That injury looked very painful.

The beautifully named Aythami Artiles is on.

John McEnerney: Real the masters of not Hannibal Lectering sides but still get results, its their thing. Plenty of hairy moments 2 come
