That's the end of this live page now. Thanks for joining me and getting involved in the debate.

Read tonight's Premier League reports here.

Barcelona are unbeaten in 22 La Liga games against Espanyol. They also have the same run going against Villarreal.

The last time Espanyol were relegated from La Liga was 1992-93. They were promoted again the following season.

This is their sixth consecutive La Liga defeat, a joint club record.

Dale: We are actually the worst, most boring "big" team in Europe. Pathetic.

Barcelona go within a point of leaders Real Madrid, who host Alaves on Friday in their game in hand.

If Real win three of their four games they will win the league. Barca need them to slip up - twice.

That game was not very good. All the big action happened in the space of six minutes - two VAR red cards and the only goal.

It's all over. Barcelona keep alive their slim title hopes.

And Espanyol, on their fourth manager of the season, are predictably relegated.

Espanyol almost level in the final second as Bernardo heads onto the roof of the net.

Final minute now. Can Espanyol create one more chance?

Barcelona try to play a quick free-kick. Referee says no which does them a favour. The final minutes ticking away.

Barca clear the Espanyol corner.

Barca bring on Ronald Araujo for Ivan Rakitic.

Barcelona 1-0 Espanyol

There is a brief VAR check for a possible Arturo Vidal handball - but it was his shoulder.

No penalty is the decision.

Espanyol have a corner as Sergi Darder's shot is blocked by Arturo Vidal.

Five minutes added on.

Espanyol almost equalise out of nowhere. Raul de Tomas blasts one in from 25 yards but Marc-Andre ter Stegen saves.

Lionel Messi has been quiet today. He goes on a good run but can't quite find Arturo Vidal.

Dull dull dull. Barcelona just knocking the ball round and they play it back to their keeper.

Luis Suarez is now Barcelona's third top scorer ever with 195, moving above Ladislao Kubala. Lionel Messi is top on 630, with Cesar Rodriguez on 232.

Espanyol have a corner which is headed out by Gerard Pique. It reaches Sergi Darder, whose first-time volley from the corner of the box is well over the bar.
