MATCH POSTPONED UNTIL 17:00 SUNDAY DUE TO AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS' STRIKE.

Well, can Real Madrid keep pace with Barca? You can follow live commentary of their clash with Valencia right now!

The final whistle goes, and Barcelona overcame their farcical day of travelling to ensure they end the weekend still top of La Liga!

Two minutes of added time are signalled.

Bojan looks up, fancies his chances, and drills a solid strike centimetres wide of rht epost from 20 yards! Half the ground though that was in!

Nekounam is penalised for a high foot as he goes to challenge Iniesta.

Barcelona substitution: Bojan Kric and Jeffren replace Villa and Pedro.

Pedro slips a ball through for Villa... Ricardo is quick of his line to spread himself well and block the shot.

Lolo tries to battle his way through two players and, when he can't, hits the deck looking for a free-kick. The referee is having none of it, and books him.

GOAL!! Too easy for Messi! He casually jogs up to the ball, waits for Ricardo to make his move before rolling it nonchalantly into the opposite corner!

PENALTY!! Sergio bundles Messi over in the area and the referee points to the spot! Messi will take the spot-kick...

Barcelona substitution: Seydou Keita replaces Xavi.

Villa is forced wide inside the area but still manages to get in a shot on the turn, but it's a regulation stop for Ricardo.

If Barca can score a third this evening, then they will have netted at least three times in each of their last six matches.

iniesta misplaces a pass out of the Barca box, but Nelson's shanked cross sees Osasuna fail to take advantage.

Camacho is going mad in the dugout as he watches his team chase shadows once again.

Villa is caught offside. The Spain striker is finally finding his scoring form for Barca, having netted four of his eight league goals in the past month.

Barcelona are 2-0 up and cruising, but their midfielders are still fighting tooth and nail to win the ball back every time Osasuna have possession.

Villa is onside as he bears down on goal! Ricardo is off his line and spreads himself well to stop the shot! Villa could have done a lot better with that though.

Barca sweep forward. Iniesta curls in a cross that is cleared but Barca retain possession.

Juanfran and Puyol square up to each other after Punal fouled Busquets. The Osasna captain gets a booking for his foul.
