- Highlights
90+3'
The final whistle. Depor no match in the end for Barcelona, who go five points clear.
90+2'
Adrian should score as he turns into the box... Valdes spreads himself and tips it over! Great save.
90'
Into injury-time. Two minutes to play.
89'
Adriano is down holding his stomach. Alvarez jumped into him recklessly.
88'
Messi breaks into the front of the box on the left side thanks to a one-two with Bojan - and his shot goes under Aranzubia, comes off his hand and back across just past the post! Like an inside edge in cricket.
87'
Depor corner - comes to nothing.
86'
Former PSV captain Afellay, 24 years of age, is a regular for the Netherlands and is one such player who can fit into the midfield. Barca do play the Dutch total style.
85'
More keep-ball from the visitors, as you'd expect. Players just slot into the system. The training that must go into making up this team...
84'
It's been easy in the end - but Adrian should have given Depor the lead in the first half.
82'
Double change for Barca: Pep Guardiola brings Ibrahim Afellay and Thiago on for the last two goalscorers, Pedrito and Iniesta.
81'
PEDRO! 4-0! Messi plays a one-two with Bojan then sneaks a ball through the backline... Manuel Pablo blocks him off with an industrial challenge, but Pedro is also there and finishes under the bar! Two in a minute!
80'
GREAT STRIKE FROM INIESTA! 3-0. He comes across the box and smacks it low into the far corner with his 'weaker' left foot.
79'
Depor change: Pablo Alvarez on for Dominguez.
78'
On the counter a swift touch from Messi sets Iniesta going. Bojan and Pedro combine from there to win a corner.
77'
More joy for Depor, but that is relatively speaking. They have put a few passes together without threatening.
76'
Real Madrid play Villarreal tomorrow, remember: follow this link from 18:00 UK time.
75'
Puyol cuts out a rare home attack with a sublime turn on a sixpence.
74'
Depor win the ball back finally. However it is sent back to keeper Aranzubia - and Messi closes him down so quickly that he boots it straight out of play.
72'
Pedro beats Lopo on the outside but runs out of pitch as the defender shepherds it out.
71'
Depor change: Norwegian Barca fan Knut Olav Rindaroy on for Desmarets, who used to be a bus conductor in Paris.
