The match is under way! It's Osasuna against Barcelona.

It's job done for the Spanish champions as they half the lead at the top of the Liga. Just three points stand between them and Real Madrid now, putting pressure on their great rivals ahead of their game later this evening.

FULL TIME: Osasuna 0-3 Barcelona.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Osasuna 0 Barcelona 3 (92 mins - Lionel Messi). And there's the third goal of the match and Messi's second. That goal takes the Argentine to the top of the Pichichi standings with his 11th Liga goal of the season.

One of the biggest positives from this game for Barcelona will be that Iniesta has completed 90 minutes for the first time since his return from injury. He's so important to Barca.

Three minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of the match.

Leon has easily been the most impressive player for the home side. He has posed a real threat to the Spanish champions in this second half. He's still putting in the effort.

This result wil close the gap at the top of La Liga to just three points. Barcelona needed this win, but keep in mind that Real Madrid face Deportivo La Coruna later this evening.

This hasn't been an especially testy match, but there's another booking for an Osasuna player.

Barcelona have dominated this game and never looked to be in any real danger of losing, but Lucho will still be concerned by how they passed up so many chances early on.

TER STEGEN CALLED UPON! The cross came in from the left side after good work from Berenguer, and the Barcelona goalkeeper is required to tip the ball over his own bar.

Leon is still giving the Barcelona defence something to think about, even at this late stage of the match. This time his long range shot is saved with ease by Ter Stegen.

There's another change for Lucho and this time it's Rafinha who comes on for Barcelona.

That goal means Messi, Ronaldo and Suarez are all tied on 10 goals at the top of the Pichichi standings. The race for that award will be an interesting one to watch this season.

There are reports in Spain that Messi's father is at the game today to start discussions with Barcelona over a new contract for his son. That might tomorrow's big story in the Catalan press.

Barcelona have been afforded so much space down the wings and for both goals that has been a factor. Alba has been playing as something of a left winger. His cut back from the byline was a good one there.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Osasuna 0 Barcelona 2 (73 mins - Lionel Messi). And that should be that. Barcelona have a two-goal lead and that will be them out of sight. Alba was involved again and his time it's Messi who finishes it off.

Roberto had so much space there to pick out a teammate in the opposition box, but his delivery was poor and was cleared by the first man. The Barca full back should have done better.
