Barca draw level on 71 points with second-placed Real Madrid

It's going to be a thrilling end to the La Liga season.

Don't forget leaders Atletico, who have 73 points, are in action later.

Thanks for your company.

Messi wins a free-kick just outside the box. He's taking his time getting up from that challenge. More seconds eaten.

Barcelona have just had a player booked for time wasting. They've been pretty flat this half.

Five additional minutes. Will the 10-men produce a late twist?

This hasn't been a vintage Barca performance but they're close to getting the job done. Frenkie de Jong will be thankful for Antoine Griezmann's two finishes.

Villarreal are not done. A free-kick is delivered into box and Gerard Moreno attempts an overhead kick. It's an easy save in the end.

Big chance for Barca to seal it.

Messi's ball finds Ousmane Dembele in space and his arrowed pass sets up Frenkie de Jong who puts it wide with only the keeper to beat.

That's two big misses by De Jong.

A corner for Villarreal which is swung in but Marc-Andre ter Stegen comes off his line to punch it clear with some force.

No hat-trick for Antoine Griezmann. He's been replaced by Ousmane Dembele.

Barca have not really pressed home their advantage since Villarreal were reduced to 10 men. They're edging towards another three points but Villarreal have shown great character.

Villarreal have made another change. Moi Gomez is on for the 10-men. Moments later Gerard Moreno latches on to a cross before firing just wide. The hosts have not given up on this.

Messi twists and turns to get away from Pau Torres who responds by unceremoniously bundling his opponent to the ground.

Yellow card for the player in the yellow shirt.

Decent from substitute Pervis Estupinan who shakes off the attention of a Barca defender before testing Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Villarreal need more of that.

Has that red card cost Villarreal a chance of getting back into this? Barca will surely spent the final 20 minutes or so looking to press home their advantage.

The good news is Messi is OK to continue.

I don't think there was any malicious intent from Trigueros. He lost control and tried to win it back but he's off for serious foul play.

Villarreal are down to 10. Manu Trigueros is shown a straight red card for a dangerous challenge on Lionel Messi who is down needing treatment.

A solid block by Gerard Pique and another corner for Villarreal. It leads to a chance for Etienne Capoue who drills it low and hard towards the net but Marc-Andre ter Stegen is down to block. That was close.

Sergio Busquets is receiving treatment and Villarreal decide to make a couple of changes. Francis Coquelin is one of the players coming on. He will be eager to impress so he can seal a starting place against his old club Arsenal on Thursday.

Lionel Messi is driving forward. He has options either side of him but decides to go alone. It's high and wide.
