    GOAL - Real Madrid 1-1 Villarrealpublished at 88 mins

    Karim Benzema

    It can't can it? Surely not?

    Real have one of the two goals they need as Karim Benzema finally finds a superb finish, side-footing a shot high into the net to make it 1-1.

    Now Real Sociedad are ahead at Osasuna. That battle for the Europa League has chopped and changed all afternoon. As it stands, Sociedad and Betis are heading for Europe's 'B' competition, with Villarreal qualifying for the Conference League, despite beating Real Madrid.

    Real Madrid 0-1 Villarreal

    Oh! So, so close! It is Luka Modric with an effort from range and he hits it well enough but just a fraction wide of the post.

    Zinedine Zidane claps on the touchline, but with seven minutes left of their season, the title is a long way away now.

    Real Madrid 0-1 Villarreal

    Any sign of life from Real Madrid?

    Nope.

    They are huffing and puffing but that Villarreal front door isn't budging.

    Eibar 0-1 Barcelona

    Barcelona lead. It's a fine finish from Antoine Griezmann - a scissor volley at the back post. That'll seal third place for them.

    Huesca 0-0 Valencia

    Huesca need just one goal to save themselves and send Elche down instead. They think they have it against Valencia, but the flag is up for offside against Sandro Ramirez.

    Real Valladolid 1-2 Atletico Madrid

    Oh, that was nearly game set and match.

    Some lovely work from sub Joao Felix sends Luis Suarez away. He has Yannick Carrasco for company and finds him with a square ball past the last defender. With the title there to be sealed, Carrasco fires over.

    Fifteen minutes to go.

    Atletico heading for the title. It would be some turnaround now if that is to change.

    It needs two Real goals and a Valladolid equaliser.

    Elche 2-0 Athletic Bilbao

    Elche double their lead over Athletic Bilbao. Raul Guti with their second - a fine strike from range - to put them in pole position to stay up.

    Celta Vigo 2-3 Real Betis

    There's an amazing game going on at Celta Vigo, where Real Betis have come back from two goals down to lead 3-2. Victor Ruiz has just poked in the visitors' third.

    They are heading for the Europa League as it stands.

    Real Madrid 0-1 Villarreal

    Karim Benzema could have had a hat-trick. He lashes another effort wide from inside the box.

    Five points now between the top two. Atletico have 20 minutes to hold on to this lead and an 11th La Liga title is theres.

    Real Madrid 0-1 Villarreal

    Just moments before that Atletico goal, Karim Benzema missed a huge chance for Real. The ball falls to him as Villarreal keeper Rulli is tackled, giving the striker a golden opening. He somehow manages to pull his effort past the near post.

    Real's hopes fading away.

    Luis Suarez

    SUUUUAAAARREEEEEZZZZZ!!!

    Is this the moment? The one that seals it? It is a horror of a pass back by a Valladolid player that sets Suarez away. He charges in on goal and finishes with aplomb.

    The title is there for Atletico now. Glittering right in front of them.

    Remember, Real will take the title if the two finish level on points, thanks to their superior goal difference in the head-to-head.

    Three points separate the top now. Atletico heading for the title.

    Real need two goals if they are stand any chance of snatching it away from them.

    They have 25 minutes to get them.

    Real Madrid 0-1 Villarreal

    Isco and Rodrygo are now on for Real Madrid as they desperately go in search of the two goals they need. Vinicius Junior and Marco Asensio the men off.

    Fede Valverde drives to the byline and crosses low but Gerónimo Rulli dives out to gather.

    Tense doesn't cover it. I think Sergio Ramos is going to spontaneously combust.

    Real Valladolid 1-1 Atletico Madrid

    Oh, wow!

    Real Valladolid come so close to going back ahead. Jan Oblak saves an angled shot but only palms it out straight to Shon Weissman. Everyone in red and white stripes breathes a sigh of relief as the Valladolid striker heads over.

    Real Madrid 0-1 Villarreal

    Can you believe it?

    The goal is ruled out. At pretty much exactly the same time that Atletico score! It's the right call. Benzema was just off.

    Drama, though. Oh my word, the drama!
