Busquets down again! The Barcelona midfielder isn't going to be able to continue here. He's down on the ground and Ilaix is being prepared to come on. Barca about to make the change.
30'
Barcelona were down to 10 men for a couple minutes there, but Busquets has been patched up and is on the pitch. He's got a roll of tissue stuffed up his nose to stop the bleeding.
29'
First Barca shot on target! Griezmann gets the effort away on goal, but that was always going to be comfortable for Oblak. However, the Barcelona striker has now had a sighter.
28'
Sore one! Busquets and Savic clash heads as they challenge for the same ball in the air. The Barcelona midfielder needs some treatment on the pitch. He should be fine, though.

Atletico Madrid are doing all they can to disrupt Barcelona. Simeone has three midfielders in the centre of the pitch and that is making them hard to play through.
24'
Despite what I said earlier about Pique slotting seamlessly back into the Barcelona team following injury, the veteran centre back has suffered a pretty poor start to this match.
23'
Atletico Madrid come into this match on the back of a narrow 1-0 win over Elche which saw the opposition miss a penalty kick in stoppage time. It wasn’t a convincing victory at all!

There’s just four matches left of the season. A Barcelona win here would put them top of the table and make them favourites to win the title after an unpredictable season in La Liga.

Correa wide! Good chance for Atletico Madrid to take the lead with the pass played by Hermoso into Correa in the middle, but his shot on the stretch is deflected wide for a corner kick!

Not much quality on display from either teams in the opening exchanges of this one. Barcelona have seen more of the ball, but they have created very little with it in attack.

That's bad luck for Lemar who has enjoyed a much better season for Atletico Madrid this term. Saul is a completely different sort of midfielder. Will that change Atleti's approach?

Problem for Lemar! This could be bad news for Atletico Madrid as Lemar has pulled up with what looks to be a muscular issue. Simeone might be forced into an early change here.

Barcelona have won 16 of their last 19 games in La Liga. This run of form has seen them claw their way back from outside the top four to within touching distance of the Spanish title.
11'
Suarez tests ter Stegen! The Atletico Madrid striker lines up the freekick on the edge of the opposition box, but his effort is straight at the Barcelona goalkeeper who makes the save.
