Evening! Barcelona are going to rinse Eibar. But it won't matter, unless Malaga can beat Real Madrid. Sounds simple enough.

Back come the players. Unless Malaga and Barcelona score a minimum two goals, Madrid will be champions.

Let's be honest: Barca don't look all that arsed about this one. They're still passing and moving, it's true, but without much intensity. If they don't improve after the break, they could easily lose.
Eibar, meanwhile, are defending ok and looking likely going forward. They've enjoyed themselves so far.

THAT IS ONE OF THE BEST MISSES I'VE EVER SEEN! Inui cuts inside onto his right foot and curls a shot towards the far corner. Ter Stegen gets down to it, but can only palm the ball back into play, directly to the feet of Pena! somehow, from three yards, he sidefoots wide! It's amazing!

A long pass from Rakitic sends Busquets galloping away down the right. I know! But Capa hares back to win the ball back, and Busquets trots back to his usual spot.

In Malaga, the home team have not given things up - their latest chance has just been headed over the bar.

Lovely clip over the top from Iniesta, finding Mess. But he can't can't decide whether to go for goal - the angle is acute - or head back across - the sensible option - so picks out the keeper instead.

SUAREZ MISSES AGAIN! Sent bounding through the middle, he shoots low, but Yoel guesses correctly and goes down to his right, getting just enough on the ball to send it behind.

Good run from Roberto, outside Messi and round the side. He then clips back for Rakitic, who meets the ball on the half-volley, but can't get it wide enough of Yoel.

Barca have slowed things down. I guess they'll assume things will eventually go their way, without exhausting themselves before the Cup final.

Capa is foxed by Iniesta's clever first touch, so trips him and is booked.

Seriously, what is wrong with people?

Alba screeches down the left and crosses for Neymar, arriving at the near post, but Junca does really well to hold his position and lever yerman out of the way. Neymar wants a penalty, but the ref is having no such thing.

Dani Garcia slides in and hacks down Sergi Roberto, doing well to avoid a booking.

LKuscious football from Barca, some kind of backheel-type thing from Alba which Neymar allows to hit his standing leg, thereby finding Messi. He can't quite keep up with the ball, but that was lovely nonetheless.
19:22
Over in Malaga, Keylor Navas has just made a fine save from a free-kick to preserve Madrid's advantage.
20'
Lovely from Neymar, jinking inside one man before dinking a wedge over several, looking for Messi. But the ball skips off the turf and just about runs away from him. Lovely play, though.
17'
Eibar are finding it hard to get the ball now. Iniesta and Rakitic have started to play, while Alba and Roberto are stretching down the flanks.
15'
Barcelona are going to score shortly. Messi volleys a lovely first time ball to set Suarez away, and he looks to return the compliment but Lejeune manages to intercede.

Wonderful from Iniesta, beating two men and finding Alba down the left. His cut-back is turned in by Suarez, but it turns out that Alba went just too soon. Good decision from the linesman.
