Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga fixture between Barcelona and Real Valladolid. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at Camp Nou. Kick off is at 20:15 GMT.

Barcelona go top of La Liga and we know what tends to happen when they start to set the pace at the peak of the Spanish top flight. They weren't even at their absolute best this evening, but still had no trouble in sweeping aside Real Valladolid, who actually competed well for the most part.

FULL TIME: Barcelona 5-1 Real Valladolid

This has been a demonstration of all that makes Messi the greatest of all time. The Argentine has scored twice and assisted twice, but he has does that so often that it's almost mundane.

There will be just two minutes of stoppage time played at the end of the match.

This is a statement win for Barcelona. This result will take them to the top of La Liga (at least until Granada play tomorrow night) and will make a point to their rivals (Atleti and Real).

Real Valladolid responded really well after conceding so early in this match, but Barcelona's quality has shone through over the full 90 minutes. They have coasted through this.

Suarez is clean through... saved! The Barcelona striker created the opportunity for himself, putting the ball around Laguardia, but his prodded effort was saved low down by Masip.

One pass too many! That should have been a sixth goal for Barcelona, but Vidal plays one pass too many to Pique when he really should have struck the effort himself! Too elaborate.

PICTURE: A match made in football heaven.

You'd have to say that this scoreline is somewhat harsh on Real Valladolid now. They have competed well, they went toe-to-toe with Barca in the first half. They just haven't had the final ball.

It looks like Alba might have picked up a knock just as Barcelona have made their third and final change of the night. The left back is talking to Valverde over on the touchline.

Michel is shown a yellow card. This has been a frustrating night for the away side.

One last change now that the game is won. Roberto comes on for the final 10 minutes.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Barcelona 5 (77 mins - Luis Suarez) Real Valladolid 1. He has been quiet this evening, but Suarez has got himself a goal! Messi played the pass through and Suarez made no mistake in firing home at the near post! Barcelona are making this a rout. Two goals and two assists for Messi.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Barcelona 4 (75 mins - Lionel Messi) Real Valladolid 1. It's Messi again and that should be the points in the bag for Barcelona! Rakitic played a very clever pass around the corner for the Argentine, he turned and lashed a powerful finish into the back of the net. He has made this match his own.

Barcelona are edging closer and closer to a win that will take them to the top of La Liga for at least 24 hours. There is feeling that the defending champions are building momentum.
