Follow live text commentary and scoring as Liga champions Barcelona - temporarily second after Madrid's win - host Real Sociedad from 8pm UK time!

There's the whistle, Sociedad out of their misery and Barca on top and in some style. Wow. That was fun, both for the football purist and the sadist.

BOJAN MAKES IT FIVE! Oh. The local lad gets two bites at the cherry, smacking his first shot against Bravo but still standing for the rebound which he hammers into the roof of the net.

Barca are not done yet as they knock it about with glee.

By the way, that is not to say I dislike Cristiano Ronaldo - he is also amazing, and genuinely hilarious as he deliberately plays Darth Vader to Messi's Luke Skywalker. Xavi for Han Solo?

Ha, well in the battle between Good and Evil for the Pichichi, Messi (good) draws level with Ronaldo (evil) as he dribbles from left to right, beating four men before slipping a tidy finish into the bottom left, across poor Bravo. Four nil. Could be 40.

I like Real Sociedad, I really do. They are a nice club, and they gave Chris Coleman a second chance when he turned up two hours late for a press conference after going out on the lash with his visiting mates the night before. I like Xabi Prieto too, he showed remarkable loyalty by staying when they went down, spending his best years in the Segunda. But they have been schooled here, they have contributed nothing whatsoever. Like a training match.

Tamudo runs on to a long ball but lacks the pace to get away from Abidal and co, instead trying a lob that flies embarassingly high and wide.

Iniesta with an arm across Rivas. A foul from Barcelona! Whatever next?

Big Charlie Puyol races forward, a touch bored from his under-use today. May as well.

Maxwell on the left, now Bojan, Barca keep it simple as the circulate the ball using the full width of the pitch...

Tamudo is NOT offside when the flag goes up, Puyol a touch lazy.

MESSI HITS THE POST! Sociedad attempt to defend his run and shot in real time but he is playing in some kind of time/space continuum, gliding away from some desperate challenges, standing still for a second as bodies contort around his tiny frame before racketing a vicious drive off the near post. It flashes into Alves's path, but a heavy touch takes it away from him.

A lofted ball from the Sociedad right is just over Tamudo's head. Their best chance of the match.

Barca romp forward again, Iniesta leading this one, now Messi but his shot is blocked. Bojan has the ball now, he finds Iniesta, Alves, Messi, Maxwell but the cross is beyond Villa!

Alves lofts a nice ball wide left to Villa, back for Bojan but he fouls Prieto. Sociedad free-kick.

A delay on the corner due to some argy bargy, Barca take it short anyway.

Busquets intervenes as De la Bella gets forward, now Barca counter wtih Alves to Messi, wide to Villa, he slips it in to Iniesta, they're just outside the six-yard box now, he does another one-two with Iniesta and Villa fires a low shot that is blocked wide. Phew.

Bojan shows good feet on the right wing but his low cross is hacked away by Ansotegi.

Oooooh! Villa with a backheel and Maxwell flies in but his cross is blocked for a corner. Short and Iniesta tries a cross but blocked and Barca go all the way back to the defence. Ironic groans from the home fans.

Raul Tamudo, ex of Espanyol, gets a rough reception from the Barca fans as he replaces Llorente. Come on lads, go easy on the fella - it's not as if your team will.
