Real Madrid v Sevilla and Las Palmas v Barcelona - As it happened

Real Madrid v Sevilla and Las Palmas v Barcelona - As it happened

The end

Real Madrid and Barcelona played at the same time, and the matches followed almost the same script. Zidane's team beat Sevilla with goals from Nacho, Kroos and a Ronaldo double, despite a goal from Jovetic early in the second half. Barcelona came away with a win from Las Palmas thanks to goals from Suarez and Neymar, who bagged three. Bigas pulled one back for the hosts.

The teams are out!

Like clockwork, the players walk out at the Bernabeu and they do so at Las Palmas too.

5 minutes to go for both matches to start

Pivotal moment of the season, and neither side can drop any points if they want to keep their hopes of being crowned champions.

Last-minute change Barcelona

More defensive woes as Mascherano will not start. Marlos Santos will take his place.

Changes for Real Madrid and Barcelona

Madrid cannot afford to lose and Zidane is playing the 'B-team'. No Benzema, Bale, Modric or Marcelo, but the less-regulars have proved they are trustworthy. Barcelona are without Pique and Sergi Roberto. Their defence is weakened against a team that has failed to score in their last three matches.
