Interesting times ahead in La Liga with the title race looking wide open.

That's all from us - I'll leave you with the report from tonight's game - a defeat that leaves Barcelona nine points off the top of the table.

Overall a bad night for Barcelona. Defeat and also a couple of injuries including to key defender Gerard Pique.

With Lionel Messi also not looking like his old self, is this shaping up to be a season to forget for the Spanish giants?

All over and Atletico Madrid go joint top of La Liga with Real Sociedad and they are also nine points clear of Barcelona.

Another Lionel Messi free kick but it disappoints once again as Atletico Madrid are able to head it away.

Just one minute left.

Five minutes of time added on. A bit of hope for Barcelona to try and snatch something.

A bit of late pressure from Barcelona and Martin Braithwate has the chance as the ball comes to him inside the box but the bounce is awkward and he can only hook it across the face of goal.

Five minutes left, will Barcelona find an equaliser? It isn't looking likely so far.

What's happened to Antoine Griezmann? It's not that long ago since he was being talked as one of the world's best but he's had a pretty poor game today and he is replaced by Trincão.

A Lionel Messi free kick hits the wall before Atletico deal with the delivery from the corner.

Messi then floats a ball in for Antoine Griezmann, whose flicked header is straight at Jan Oblak.

Lionel Messi, who has had very subdued game so far, sees a shot on the edge of the box blocked. The forward did only get back from international duty on Thursday, flying back from South America, so he is probably not quite at 100%.

More firepower is introduced for Atletico Madrid as Diego Costa makes his return from injury, replacing Marcos Llorente.

Play has swung in Atletico Madrid's favour now and Joao Felix is not far off getting his head onto a cross. If he did, it would have been a simple goal.

Sergino Dest is almost onto a Ousmane Dembélé pass but Mario Hermoso defends well to shepherd the ball out of play.

A ball squeezes out to Ousmane Dembélé on the right and he hits a first-time effort just wide.

Barcelona have had a few chances in this half and there's plenty of time for them to find an equaliser.

This looks bad for Gerard Pique.

He's caught up in Ángel Correa being tackled with the latter landing awkwardly on Pique. No chance Pique can continue and he limps off, head in his hands. He looks devastated and that injury does not look good.

Sergino Dest is on in Pique's place.

Good spell for Barcelona as they go close again with Clement Lenglet rising to meet Lionel Messi's cross and nod a header goalwards but Jan Oblak is well placed to make the save.

Barcelona make their first change as Philippe Coutinho comes on for Pedri.

Suddenly chances at both end as Clement Lenglet heads at Jan Oblak before Joao Felix runs through to chase a ball into the box but he is just beaten to it by Marc-André ter Stegen.
