Real Madrid can go ahead of Barcelona for a few hours at least if they win at Almeria tonight - an Almeria side that lost 8-0 at home to Barca in November. LIVE from 6pm UK time!

It's kicking off! Vargas is head-to-head with Casillas, everyone joins in and eventually the bunch of girls mince off the pitch. After Casillas claimed that final shot Vargas utterly unnecessarily barged into him, then tried to fight him. Silly.

Alves takes his time with the free-kick, it drops to VARGAS but he volleys weakly at Casillas. And that's it! Real fail to win! Barca can go four points clear now...

Ozil is booked as Almeria counter following the corner. This will be it...

This looks like the last kick of the game... Ronaldo with the free-kick right on the line... OFF THE BAR! And Alonso with the follow up deflected wide!

Legs akimbo Ronaldo readies himself... it hits the wall and the ref blows for handball! Free-kick on the edge of the box. M'Bami I think. Yellow card.

Madrid get a free-kick around 30 yards out, a touch to the left. C-Ron to take, obviously.

Di Maria cuts in from the left but fires weakly at Alves. Give it to Granero! At least he can shoot.

Four minutes added on. Can Real conjure something up?

Ronaldo with a flounce after a foul on Vargas, he went straight through him as they challenged for a header. Jose has his head in his hands, even he looks bored.

ALMERIA SUB: Henok Goitom, the Sweden striker, comes on for Ulloa.

Real have a free-kick on the right, just outside the box after Ortiz fouled Ozil. Rubbish. Nice ball from Ozil to C-Ron on the edge of the box, but he smacks it five yards over.

Great run by Ortiz down the left to win a corner off Arbeloa, their first of the night.

Ulloa is down hurt after he was caught late by Ramos. His ankle, or so he says.

Ulloa makes mincemeat of Ramos but his cross is too deep. Now vargas smacks one well over from the left.

A bit of nonsense after Ramos fouls Uche, the Almeria bench angry.

Granero with a surging run on the break, Piatti challenges, throw.

Free-kick to the hosts on the right which Ulloa will knock in long... Cleared.

A corner to Madrid wreaks some havoc as Benzema races into the box, going down before Ozil's shot deflects wide for a corner.

GOAL! The equaliser by Granero, with a ferocious drive into the roof of the net! Superb strike. I take back what I said earlier, super hold up play by Benzema to set him up too.

Carvalho gives the ball away, Arbeloa closes down Piatti but he glides past him with ease, Ramos and Carvalho in the end getting it away.
