So the match ends all square with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid taking a point apiece. But that's not the healine from this evening's game. That goes to the injury that forced Messi off in the second half. How damaging could that be to the Argentine and the Catalan club in general?

FULL-TIME: Barcelona 1-1 Atletico Madrid

The primary damage from this match for Barcelona won't be two dropped points but the injuries to Messi and Busquets. You could argue that they are their most important two players.
91'
Can either side find a winner? Lucho looks rather composed on the touchline, while Simeone is waving his team all over the place. Do they really know what those gestures mean?

Three minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of the second half.

ALMOST ANOTHER GODIN GOAL! Remember that famous Godin goal at Camp Nou? He almost scored again, sending a header towards goal from a freekick. Ter Stegen tips over.

BIG CHANCE FOR ALBA! Rakitic plays the ball out to the left back who is up from the back for the attack, but he leans back and sends his shot from a tight angle over the target.

Atletico Madrid are still working so hard all over the pitch, chasing the ball when it's at the feet of Barcelona's players and hassling them into mistakes. It's so impressive to watch.

It wouldn't be a Barcelona game without Suarez receving a booking. That was a bad tackle.

SO CLOSE FROM PIQUE! That was inches away from a Barcelona goal. The centre back glanced a freekick towards the Atletico Madrid goal, but it flashed just past the far post.

Gabi is absolutely furious with his teammate for giving away a foul on the edge of his own box.

Would both sides settle for a draw? This is a big match in the context of the title race and so Barcelona and Atletico Madrid would probably be satisfied with a point each.

Having said that, if there's a team that can break down Simeone's side it's Barcelona. Messi might be off but they still have so much brilliance to break down the Atletico door.

Atletico Madrid are one of the best defensive outfits in the European game and they are showing that at the moment. They are so organised and well drilled at the back. All over, actually.

NEYMAR FORCES THE SAVE! For the first time all night the Brazilian gets the chance to drive at Juanfran, shooting at goal from a tight angle. But Oblak makes the near post stop.

Of course, Turan is playing against his former club and the Turkish international has forced his way into the first team fold this season when it looked like he might leave Barca.
76'
Torres is on the pitch for the final 15 minutes of the match and the former Chelsea and Liverpool striker is always someone who thrived at the Camp Nou. Can he make the difference?

I'm a little surprised that we won't be seeing Gaitan for Atletico Madrid this evening. He seems like the perfect player to make the most of the space on the rapid counter attack, to me anyway.
