Simeone will be pleased with that contribution from Lemar. The Frenchman has struggled in his first season at Atletico Madrid, but he has been excellent this evening.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Atletico Madrid 2 (50 mins - Antoine Griezmann) Valencia 1. Atletico Madrid are back in front! It was a cross from Lemar out on the left side and Griezmann got ahead of his marker to head home! Great movement from the French forward and a great delivery from the French winger! Good goal from the home side.

The scenario is a simple one - if Valencia score a second goal and win this match then Barcelona will be champions tonight. If not, the wait for the Catalans will stretch to the weekend.

HALF TIME: Atletico Madrid 1-1 Valencia. It has been an entertaining first half at the Wanda Metropolitano. Atleti started well, but Valencia have since come back and ended the half on top. More of the same, please.

Straight at Oblak! A defensive clearance fell to the feet of Parejo 20 yards out. The ball bounced up nicely for the Valencia playmaker, but his half volleyed shot was straight at the goalkeeper.

Atletico Madrid have lost their way as this first half has progressed. Morata could have scored a hat trick in the opening 15 minutes, but he has barely touched the ball since then.

Atletico Madrid have some defensive rebuilding to do in the summer. Hernandez is leaving for Bayern Munich, while Godin and Juanfran are well into the twilights of their respective careers.

Of course, just to recap, a Valencia win this evening will see Barcelona officially crowned La Liga champions. A draw or Atletico Madrid will force the Catalans to wait until the weekend.

That goal had been coming. As I was saying, Atletico Madrid started the match on fire, but have since allowed Valencia to come back into the game and now the away side are on top.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Atletico Madrid 1 Valencia 1 (36 mins - Kevin Gameiro). It's Gameiro! The French striker has scored against his former team! Mina feigned to create space in the box, played the square pass for Gameiro who composes himself and then prods a shot past Oblak and into the back of the net.

It looked like Atletico Madrid might blow away Valencia in the opening 10-15 minutes, but the away side have found a foothold in this game and they are now starting to venture up field.
