Barcelona 1-0 Atletico Madrid
Fantastic spell for Barcelona now as, backed by a noisy home support, they press for a second goal. But Atletico goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois does not need to get his gloves dirty as Diego Godin shepherds out the ball from Dani Alves.

Spanish La Liga
Alexis Sanchez's goal puts Barcelona in the driving seat to win the title. As it stands, they are level on points with Atletico, but go top by virtue of a better head-to-head.

YELLOW CARD Barcelona 1-0 Atletico Madrid.
The tackles are flying in from all angles now as Atletico let out their frustration at conceding the opener. Diego Godin and Tiago both have their names taken by the referee in quick succession for, shall we say, rather agricultural challenges.
Former Barcelona striker Gary Lineker
on Twitter: (external) What a hit from Alexis Sanchez. Come on Barca!

GOAL Barcelona 1-0 Atletico Madrid - Alexis Sanchez
Wow. Scrap that - Barca forward Alexis Sanchez has belted in an absolute screamer. The Chilean latches on to Lionel Messi's neat chest down, from Cesc Fabregas' lofted pass, before smashing in a fierce drive from a tight angle past a bewildered Thibaut Courtois. That was as an accurate finish as you're ever going to see.
Advantage Barcelona.

Barcelona 0-0 Atletico Madrid
It was hard to pick a winner ahead of kick-off - and it is still hard to pick a winner with just over half an hour gone. It has turned into a chess match, with Barca full-backs Dani Alves and Adriano going down the flanks like castles, before Atletico trying to hit them on the counter.

Barcelona 0-0 Atletico Madrid
Spanish La Liga
Barca keeper Jose Manuel Pinto, playing in place of the injured Victor Valdes, looks more nervous than a teenager going on a first date when he gets the ball at his feet. Gasps of panic can be heard from the home fans - and probably some of his team-mates - before he manages to hack clear with a pair of Atletico attackers bearing down on his goal.

Barcelona 0-0 Atletico Madrid
Spanish La Liga
Good chance for Barcelona - the clearest opportunity of the match. Dani Alves swings in a pinpoint cross from the right which Pedro peels off to meet at the back stick. But the Spain forward cannot direct his header down as the ball flies harmlessly over Thibaut Courtois's crossbar.

Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker
On Twitter: (external) Real shame for Diego Costa. Off injured and possibly out of Champions League final too. Hopefully not the World Cup. He's utterly distraught.

As it stands Barcelona 0-0 Atletico Madrid
Spanish La Liga
It has been a desperately unlucky start for Atletico Madrid, having lost key striker Diego Costa and influential winger Arda Turan to injury in the early stages. As it stands with a quarter gone, though, they are still top of the table and on course to win the title.

SUBSTITUTION Barcelona 0-0 Atletico Madrid
Yep - that is Arda Turan's afternoon over too. Atletico coach Diego Simeone looks shell-shocked as he shakes his head in disbelief on the touchline. Turan, who is one of Atletico's main creative forces, also cries his eyes out as he is given a big man hug by Simeone after being replaced by Raul Garcia. Someone get the tissues out.

Barcelona 0-0 Atletico Madrid
Did the Atletico team bus run over a black cat on its way to the Nou Camp today? Because they have another injury concern as midfielder Arda Turan stays on the turf holding his back after a heavy fall. The Turkey star manages to get to his feet and return to the field - but then he goes down again seconds later.

Barcelona 0-0 Atletico Madrid
As Atletico regroup from that setback, Barcelona use the opportunity to press. Left-back Adriano whips in a dangerous cross which Atletico defender Diego Godin heads out for a corner. That comes to nothing as Atletico survive.

SUBSTITUTION Barcelona 0-0 Atletico Madrid
Nope, it is all over for Diego Costa. The burly striker breaks down in floods of tears as he sits on the Atletico bench with his streaming face covered by a training top. On comes Adrian Lopez in his place.
14 mins
Barcelona 0-0 Atletico Madrid
Blow for Atletico, boost for Barca. Star striker Diego Costa goes down clutching his dodgy hamstring after stretching his legs down the left. The Spain international looks disconsolate as he trudges off for treatment - can't see him returning.

CLOSE! Barcelona 0-0 Atletico Madrid
The Nou Camp lets out a collective sigh of relief as Gerard Pique hacks a dangerous Atletico cross over his own goal to safety.
A swift Atletico move ends in marauding right-back Juanfran whipping in a teasing low cross which Pique deals with rather unconvincingly, but ultimately successfully.

As expected it has been a high tempo start in the Nou Camp as Barca threaten down the other end. Home left-back Adriano shoots straight at Atletico keeper Thibaut Courtois, who clutches the ball close to his chest.
5 mins
YELLOW CARD Barcelona 0-0 Atletico Madrid
Barca defender Gerard Pique is back playing for the first time in eight matches after injury - and one of his first involvements is to clumsily hack down Koke. That earns him a yellow card but he escapes further punishment as Atletico defender Miranda nods the set-piece wide.

Barcelona burst forward for the first time but Andres Iniesta gets caught between shooting and passing from the edge of the area, in the end doing neither as the ball flies wide.

Barcelona v Atletico Madrid (17:00 BST)
Spanish La Liga
Barcelona's players look focused as they waltz into the tunnel alongside their opponents. Andres Iniesta is all smiles as Sergio Busquets helps him stick on his captain's armband, while some of his team-mates - quite surprisingly - exchange hugs with their Atletico rivals. Can't imagine the likes of Miguel Angel Nadal doing that. The Beast would have kicked them out on to the pitch...
