    FT: Barcelona 0-0 Atletico

    And here is how the table looks after that result.

    Barca move into second place for now, still two points behind Atletico Madrid.

    You can join me tomorrow evening to find out whether Real Madrid can claim top spot against Sevilla, who themselves will be looking to move within four points of the summit.

    That's all for today though. Thanks for your company!

    As I mentioned a few minutes ago, that's a great result for Real Madrid who can now go top tomorrow with victory over Sevilla because of their superior head-to-head record.

    It's not to be for Atletico as Barca clear the corner - and that's it!

    The points are shared at the Nou Camp.

    It's end-to-end stuff in the final couple of minutes as both sides look to deliver a killer blow.

    Geoffrey Kondogbia drives the ball forward for Atletico and has acres to run into, and from his pass Luis Suarez earns a late, late corner.

    One final chance for Atletico...

    Just two minutes of added time to go...

    Messi takes aim from the spot-kick but curls it just wide of the left post.

    That wasn't far away at all.

    Oh Geoffrey Kondogbia, what have you potentially just done.

    The Atletico substitute fouls Lionel Messi around 20 yards out and this free-kick is firmly in Messi territory.

    Is this the moment for Barca?

    Another potentially crucial factor here for Barca is that they need to win this match to even the head-to-head results, after Atletico beat them 1-0 at home earlier this season.

    In La Liga, head-to-head results are used as the first tiebreaker if teams are level on points.

    Real Madrid have superior head-to-head results against both Atletico and Barcelona this season...

  9. CLOSE!published at 85 mins

    Barcelona 0-0 Atletico

    What a chance!!

    Ousmane Dembele runs in and leaps to meet Jordi Alba's cross but he can't keep his header down.

    He's annoyed at himself and rightly so. He just had to hit the target there.

  10. YELLOW CARDpublished at 83 mins

    Barcelona 0-0 Atletico

    Gerard Pique is booked for a foul on Joao Felix, and Jordi Alba then gets a yellow too for complaining to the referee about it.

    Into the final 10 minutes. One goal could change everything for these two sides.

    Real Madrid will certainly be happy if it finishes like this.

    Ousmane Dembele is brought down by Yannick Carrasco as he threatens to break into the box and Lionel Messi is handed the chance to send in the free-kick from the right.

    He decides to pass it to the edge of the box instead and it proves to be a complete waste as Atletico intercept.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 76 mins

    Barcelona 0-0 Atletico

    A double change for Barcelona.

    Ousmane Dembele and Sergi Roberto are introduced, as Sergino Dest and Pedri make way.

  14. CLOSE!published at 74 mins

    Barcelona 0-0 Atletico

    Almost for Antoine Griezmann!

    The Frenchman meets Jordi Alba's low cross but under pressure he sends a first-time shot wide.

    It's looking like we could be in for quite a fun final 15 minutes here, both sides are creating chances...

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 73 mins

    Barcelona 0-0 Atletico

    Geoffrey Kondogbia comes on for Atletico, replacing Angel Correa.

  16. Postpublished at 71 mins

    Barcelona 0-0 Atletico

    Luis Suarez blasts the ball into the Barcelona net at the other end, but that one also won't count because of a foul on Gerard Pique by Yannick Carrasco in the build up.

    Barcelona 0-0 Atletico

    Ronald Araujo heads past Jan Oblak from a free-kick but he's well offside there and he knows it.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 67 mins

    Barcelona 0-0 Atletico

    Diego Simeone calls on Joao Felix for the final 20 minutes or so.

    Earlier substitute Saul Níguez is replaced. Ouch.

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 65 mins

    Barcelona 0-0 Atletico

    Koke is booked for using an arm to halt Lionel Messi's run - and I think that makes it three out of three Atletico bookings awarded for fouls on the Argentine.

  20. Postpublished at 63 mins

    Barcelona 0-0 Atletico

    Atletico clear the corner but they can't get out completely, and Gerard Pique meets another cross into the box with a header that has Jan Oblak scrambling but goes just wide of the target.

    Barca have moved up a gear in the last 10 minutes.
