All
Highlights

Barcelona were brutal, Almeria atrocious. For a couple of hours at least Barcelona sit top of La Liga after equalling their record away win. Real Madrid are up next.

90'

FULL-TIME: The referee ends the game a few seconds early with Barcelona in possession.

89'

Keita goes down in the area. He looks to the referee for a penalty, but perhaps he feels that would be just a little too cruel.

88'

M'Bami down but play continues. Time running down, and nobody will be too sorry to see this one end.

87'

Great ball into the middle from Bojan and Keita was very nearly on hand to turn in a ninth...

86'

74% possession for Barcelona in this match - to say Almeria have had no answers is something of an understatement.

85'

Given the context of the match and how dispirited he must be, Piatti does well to force a throw by the byline.

84'

Poor ball from Alves into the box - Almeria clear forward and Piatti is left to create something from nothing.

83'

Valdes opts to run the ball out of his area, which almost gets him into a little bit of trouble. He hoofs out just in time.

82'

Thiago's little chip into the ball is not quite picked up by any of his team-mates.

81'

Messi looks effortless on the ball, slipping a pass to Maxwell. The cross doesn't find its mark on this occasion.

79'

BOJAN TO VILLA! NO! It was a terrific run from Bojan and a good through ball, but this time Alves stands up well to the shot from Villa.

78'

Good run from Ortiz but there's nobody there to get on the end of his little ball into the middle. Barcelona clear.

77'

Lillo was already under pressure as Almeria coach - could this result cost him his job?

76'

Almeria had conceded ten in their previous 11 La Liga games. They've conceded eight in the last 75 minutes.

75'

David Villa, surprisingly, yet to score for Barcelona.

74'

"6-5 Almeria. Vamos!!!!" says Mano de Dios - how about 9-8?

73'

BOJAN! EIGHT! Messi has all the time in the world to play Bojan and it takes two touches to slide past Alves.

72'

"Forget the technical skills, the title gets decided on only two matches in the entire season." - If you mean the Clasico, Nissy, it's only a week away.

70'

Barcelona's biggest away win was 8-0 against Las Palmas in the 1950s. Twenty minutes remain.
