    Thibaut Courtois got a proper whack to the head there. Real Madrid back-up keeper Alphonse Areola was warming up but Courtois says he will play on.

    Real Madrid 1-0 Villarreal

    Inches away from a Villarreal penalty but it's good goalkeeping by Thibaut Courtois.

    Xavi Quintilla chases onto a ball over the top. Courtois comes flying out of his goal at high speed and they clatter into each other.

    We need a replay to see who got the ball first and it's Courtois. If Quintilla had got the first touch it would have been a penalty.

    Real Madrid will win La Liga tonight if they beat Villarreal, regardless of the Barcelona result.

    Real can even afford to lose if Barcelona don't score again.
