    Real Madric 0-1 Villarreal

    Meanwhile, at back in Madrid, Real are pushing for parity too. Luka Modric twists and turns in the box before firing a shot just past the post.

    Real Valladolid 1-0 Atletico Madrid

    Suarez was really, really close with his shot. He cuts inside and floats an effort just wide of the far post. It takes a crucial little flick off a defender to take it wide and set up the corner from which Felipe headed wide.

    There is an awful lot of arm waving and screams of encouragement in the aftermath. Atleti sense a moment.

    The title-chasing visitors keep up the assault on the home goal. Suarez - the scorer of that late goal against Osasuna - leading the charge. He goes close again before Felipe heads over soon after.

    So, as it stands, Elche are safe, with Huesca and Real Valladolid going down.

    Remember also that Valladolid need to win to have any chance of staying up.

    Speaking of the relegation battle, Elche have just gone 1-0 up against Athletic Bilbao to keep them firmly in the mix for survival. It is a fine finish from Lucas Boye.

    Real Madrid 0-1 Villarreal

    Big shouts for a penalty from the Real players as the ball bunces up and flicks Daniel Parejo on the hand. Oh, I tell you what, they had a very good case there. Nothing given, though.

    Real Valladolid 1-0 Atletico Madrid

    Diego Simeone was clearly fuming at that Valladolid opener, wagging his finger on the touchline. I think he may have believed it was offside, but as replays show Plano was in his own half when the pass was made to him.

    Real Valladolid 1-0 Atletico Madrid

    On the evidence of the last few minutes, we're going to see Atletico largely laying siege to the home goal. As we've seen, though, Valladolid have a swift counter very much in their locker.

    In the last few minutes, we've seen Sergio Ramos bouncing around in the stands after hearing news from Valladolid. And now he's looking very glum. This is what title races are all about.

    Yeremi Pino

    Don't either of these two want to win this?!

    Villarreal have brought their own cat with them. Gerard Moreno's pass releases Yeremi Pino in the box, who stays cool to beat one man before flicking a shot in.

    Oscar Plano

    Oh wow. Now we've got a title race!

    Vallodolid put the mother of all cats amongst the pigeons with a sweeping move that sees them spring from an Atletico corner.

    They shift the ball to Shon Weissman, whose flick to Marcos de Sousa sends Oscar Plano away and he finishes superbly.

    Still waiting for one of the Madrid sides to make a move. In fact, we're still waiting for any La Liga side to make a move. #quietstart

    Can't really be understated how big getting the first goal will be for Atletico. Score it and the nerves ease. Concede and those negative feelings crash into you like a wave.

    Jan Oblak into the action for the first time, going down to his right to save a long-range effort from Toni Villa.

    Atletico very much on the front foot. Luis Suarez is in the thick of it again. Yannick Carrasco's cross deflects to the back post, were the Uruguayan is lurking to volley an effort across the face of goal and wide.

    Not just Luis Suarez making a point today, of course. Kieran Trippier's career has taken pretty much the opposite direction to Tottenham since he left north London. Fair play.

    Every chance he'll be England's starting right-back this summer, too.

    Steady start for the chasers. Karim Benzema gets a half-chance at the back post but after leaping well his effort is blocked by a visiting defender.

    What a turnaround it'll be for Luis Suarez to pick up a La Liga winners medal today, by the way. One in the eye for Barca.

    We start in Vallodolid, where Atletico nearly make the perfect start. Luis Suarez charges away from his marker and charges in on goal. Just as he is about to pull the trigger, Jawad El Yamiq sticks out boot to block.
