Real Madrid 2-2 Valencia
Time for a dramatic Madrid winner?
George Davis: (external) Unbelievable finish from Ronaldo! Game on! Title back on!
21:50
GOAL Real Madrid 2-2 Valencia - Cristiano Ronaldo (90+1 mins)
Wow. This is exactly why Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player on the planet. The Real forward, almost nonchalantly, backheels in Angel Di Maria's cross inside a packed Valencia penalty area to seemingly earn Real a crucial draw. Simply sensational.
21:49
INJURY TIME Real Madrid 1-2 Valencia
Five minutes left for Real Madrid to nick at least a leveller. Valencia, who played a gruelling Europa League semi-final on Thursday, have only made one substitution. I'd be hastily scribbling out the paperwork now if I was Juan Antonio Pizzi to waste some precious time.
21:46
Real Madrid 1-2 Valencia
Valencia hero Dani Parejo tries to waste a few vital seconds by going down injured before Real take the set-piece and his trick serves its purpose by slowing down the home side's momentum. The corner comes to nothing as the frowns on the Real foreheads crease further.
21:44
FINAL FIVE Real Madrid 1-2 Valencia
Time is running out for Real. Anything will do now, with even a point potentially proving vital in the race for La Liga. Angel Di Maria wins a corner to whip the home fans into a frenzy...
OptaJose: (external) Only Daniel Parejo and Lionel Messi have scored and assisted for the away side in a game at the Bernabeu this season.
21:44
FULL-TIME Milan 1-0 Inter
Italian Serie A
It is all over in the Milan derby, with Clarence Seedorf's side claiming a narrow victory, a rare Nigel de Jong goal proving enough. Not a classic match by any means, but a great result for Seedorf.
21:42
SUBSTITUTION Real Madrid 1-2 Valencia
Real throw on young striker Alvaro Morata in their last throw of the tactical dice. He replaces Karim Benzema after some words of encouragement from Real assistant coach Paul Clement. Something along the lines of "Get us a goal son" will suffice.
21:39
TEN TO GO Real Madrid 1-2 Valencia
Another entry, another Cristiano Ronaldo chance. That's all I'm writing about at the moment. This time Mr Best Player In The World leaps high into the Madrid air to meet Angel Di Maria's corner, but can only head into the stand behind Valencia's goal. Ten minutes left for Madrid to salvage something.
Khalid: (external) I don't think anyone wants to win La Liga!
21:36
GREAT SAVE! Real Madrid 1-2 Valencia
Gareth Bale slaloms through the Valencia defence like an Olympic skier before crashing into a gate disguised as an away defender on the edge of the area. Cristiano Ronaldo stands menacingly over the ball, before smashing a thunderbolt at goal which Valencia keeper Diego Alves manages to paw clear.
Scott O'Neill: (external) Real Madrid win 3 and lose 1 = 91pts. Atletico win 1 lose 1 = 91pts. Barca win 2 = 91pts. Who wins the league?
If all the sides finish level then it goes to the head-to-head record between the three sides - a mini-league if you like. And that can't be confirmed until Barcelona play Atletico on the final day of the season.
21:30
SUBSTITUTION Real Madrid 1-2 Valencia
Interesting change for Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti decides to introduce Brazilian holding midfielder Casemiro in place of the more offensive Isco, presumably to free up the attacking talent of Ronaldo, Bale and Di Maria. I'd expect to see young striker Alvaro Morata sooner rather than later if the scoreline stays like this though.
21:26
Real Madrid 1-2 Valencia
Spanish La Liga
Real are a wounded beast and they are desperate to bite back. Cristiano Ronaldo twice goes close as Madrid pin back Valencia. But he can't find a way past Diego Alves and the away team survive.
James Gallagher: (external) Gareth Bale needs be involved more in the attacking play - not made much contribution so far.
21:22
GOAL Real Madrid 1-2 Valencia - Dani Parejo (65 mins)
Oh my word. Drama o'clock in the Bernabeu. Ex-Real Madrid youngster Dani Parejo keeps a cool head to precisely convert into the bottom corner from the edge of the area. Valencia lead for the second time as Real's players and supporters look perplexed. Carlo Ancelotti's much-loved eyebrow is raised.
21:20
Real Madrid 1-1 Valencia
Spanish La Liga
That is Ramos's fourth goal in the past seven days, following his goal against Osasuna last weekend and the two headers in Wedensday's thumping Champions League win at Bayern Munich. This could be the most important of the lot though, if Los Blancos can find another to nick all three points.
21:17
GOAL Real Madrid 1-1 Valencia - Sergio Ramos (60 mins)
To paraphrase Girls Aloud: "He's just a goal machine!" Real Madrid skipper Sergio Ramos is a defender by trade but he has a goalscoring record over the last week that most strikers would be proud of. Ramos stays alert after a Madrid set-piece to pounce on Cristiano Ronaldo header back across goal and nod in from close range.

Ben Stephens: (external) Madrid are going to need someone to BALE them out and need a ANGEL (Di Maria) to rescue them.
21:14
GREAT SAVE! Real Madrid 0-1 Valencia
Goooooaaaa-noooo! Cristiano Ronaldo thinks he has scored as he volleys towards the bottom corner, but the hand of Valencia keeper Diego Alves reaches out to push clear. Top reactions.
21:13
GOAL Milan 1-0 Inter - Nigel de Jong (66 mins)
Italian Serie A
Milan have looked the most likely to score throughout this game and they finally make the breakthrough as Mario Balotelli whips in a free kick and Nigel de Jong rises like a salmon to power home a header.
21:12
CLOSE! Real Madrid 0-1 Valencia
End to end action as Valencia's Paco Alccer glancing header is well stopped by Madrid keeper Diego Lopez, before his Los Che counterpart Diego Alves denies Angel Di Maria at the other end.
Then, Argentina star Di Maria fires just wide as Madrid go hell for leather on the attack. Chaotic scenes in the Bernabeu at the moment.
21:09
PENALTY APPEAL Real Madrid 0-1 Valencia
Howls of fury rain down from the Bernabeu stands as Madrid claim Valencia's Joao Pereira handballs inside his own penalty area. Not a chance.
Pereira does his best to move his arm out of the way as Angel Di Maria drills the ball at him from two yards. Di Maria goes nuts and talks himself into the referee's notepad with a yellow card.
Bradley, via text: If Real Madrid lose tonight and Barcelona win the next two they will be champions, didn't see that happening earlier today.
Me neither. And if Atletico win their next two matches then they will win. Anyone else getting a permutation-induced headache?
