Highlights

90+4

FULL TIME. And that's it. Finished. Eleven points is the gap and only twelve to play for.

90+4

Messi. Stop it. Incredible. He jinks this way and that, beats three men and then tries to lift the ball over Adrián but the keeper reads it to make the save.

90+3

Tello has looked superb tonight too.

90+2

Three of the added stuff.

90+1

It seems a long time ago now that Barca were staring defeat in the face – obviously, the introduction of Messi completely changed the complexion of this fixture.

90'

Barca are only one win from the title now.

88'

Piqué breaks forward with the ball now and charges into midfield but he over-runs the ball and the chance has gone.

86'

Betis, in seventh, will just want to get off the pitch here as they search for a European place.

85'

Busquets comes on for Alex Song now – who gets a decent reception and has played well.

84'

Dani Alves, who is having more of an impact on proceedings this half, crosses looking for Messi but it is just cut out for a corner.

83'

The hosts have Betis pinned back now - and they will open up an eleven point lead at the top of the table.

82'

Alves slides Messi through, the Betis defenders stop expecting offside but he was level says the linesman and this could be the hat-trick - but the angle is too tight and his cut-back is cleared! Looked a few inches offside to me!

81'

Thiago wide to Iniesta, who uncharacteristically miscontrols. Still Barca attack though...

80'

Barca playing it about patiently - from a tough position that could have seen their title defence under threat, they are well and truly in command now.

79'

Betis think they should have a throw but Campbell adjudged to have got the final touch so a Barca throw. Alves appeal worked.

78'

Alexis Sánchez is off for Thiago.

77'

The hosts are keeping the ball as only they can.

76'

Slight hiatus for the injury to Alexis Sánchez.

75'

Xavi with a delightful lofted through-ball to Alexis Sánchez, who is in a foot race with Adrián. The bounce of the ball just favours the keeper who makes the save and in the process upends the Chilean.

74'

That fourth goal from Messi was the home side at their absolute best.
