    Time:90'
    • Valladolid
    • Barcelona
    • 90' The final whistle goes and Valladolid have now held both Real Madrid and Barcelona to a draw at home
    • 88' Ronaldinho gets past Garcia Calvo before being brought down in the box by Pedro Lopez. The Brazilian appeals for a penalty but the referee is having none of it as it appears he was falling before contact
    • 86' Ogbeche receives the ball in the middle of the box and tries to chip it goalward but the ball gets caught in his feet and Valdes gets himself into position in time to secure the ball
    • 84' Neither team seems content to sit back at play for the draw as Ronaldinho tries his luck from distance but Alberto is in the right place to collect the ball
    • 83' Valdes is the only thing keeping Barca in this match in the latter stages as Garcia Calvo shoots and misses just wide of the right post
    • 80' Kome comes off off to a standing ovation to be replaced by Oscar Sanchez
    • 76' A great one-touch pass from Sesma sees he put Victor in with only the keeper to beat but Valdes is very quick of the line and secures the ball before Victor can reach it
    • 73' Rijkaard makes his third and final substitution bring on Dos Santos as a replacement for Bojan
    • 72' Ogbeche tries to make an instant impact and tries his luck from long range ... but fires over the top of the bar
    • 69' More substitutions as the game becomes increasingly disjointed by stoppages: Gudjohson comes on for Yaya Toure for Barca and Victor replaces Sisi for Valladolid
    • 64' Valladolid goalscorer Llorente comes makes way for Ogbeche
    • 62' Valdes is called into action again as Pedro Lopez lofts the ball over into the centre to the waiting Sesma ... Valdes loses the ball completely but luckily for him Sesma can also head the ball into the keepers chest
    • 61' The first sub of the day is made by Barca as Maruqez is taken off to be replaced by Zambrotta
    • 57' Bojan again with a chance, as Messi slots the ball through, but he can only smack the ball against the post beyond the flailing Alberto
    • 55' Bojan, who was rampant in the first half (albeit to little effect), receives his first real ball of this half running at Pedro Lopez before trying to chip Alberto ... but the ball is well over the cross bar
    • 53' Gudjohnson and Zambrotta can be seen warming up on the sidelines as Rijkaard looks set to make a change
    • 48' Ronaldinho tries to feed Messi but the ball runs long as Alberto comes to collect easily
    • 46' Barca get the second half underway ...
    • 45' The half time whistle blows and it is all square
    • 44' Barca seem much calmer since the equaliser as Silvinyo tries to work the ball onto his left foot as he charges in on the left hand side of the area ... but Pedro Lopez sticks with him and the ball dribbles out of play
    • 41' GOAL BARCA! 1-1! Ronaldinho recieves the ball on the egde of the area from Xavi before holding off the challenge of Marcos ... he only has the keeper left to beat ... and does so with ease chipping the ball into the top of the net from the right!
    • 38' Valladolid regain possession as Messi loses Marcos on the left ... there is nothing much on for the defender though as he attempts to chip a high ball into the centre for Sisi, who has to track back and the move ends on the half way line further back than it started!
    • 35' 10 minutes remaining in this first half and Valladolid are holding on to their lead with relative ease
    • 33' Garcia Calvo fires a long ball upfield for Sesma to chase as Valladolid look to get back on the attack after a quiet 10 minutes but the ball is too long for and drifts harmlessly out of play
    • 30' Ronaldinho goes for goal from the left corner but the ball is drifting over everyone's heads and well wide when Alberto palms it away just for good measure
    • 29' Xavi chips in the long ball for Messi to chase but again Alberto is there to turn the ball away for a corner ...
    • 27' Barca, who are yet to really trouble Alberto in the Valladolid goal, are beginning to enjoy more possession
    • 25' Bojan, desperately trying to get Barca back into the match, races at the Valladolid defence ... but Marcos is there to shadow the young striker and the ball dribbles away to the touchline
    • 21' Valladolid are picking Barca apart at the back as Sisi slots the ball through to Llorente again ... but perhaps a touch of over confidence as the goal scorer tries to chip Valdes, who always had that covered
    • 20' Ronaldinho curls in a corner for Barca but Rafa is waiting for it and clears the ball with little difficulty as the visitors struggle to settle
    • 16' Llorente is shown a yellow card for what the referee sees as an overly zealous celebration to the goal!
    • 15' GOAL! 1-0 Valladolid! Sesma finds himself in acres of space on the right wing before slotting the ball through into the centre ... Llorente gets a touch on the ball firing it against Valdes who cannot hold onto it and has to watch as the ball rebounds of the knee of Llorente and into the back of the net
    • 13' The corner from Valladolid comes to nothing though as the ball drifts over the head of all the player waiting in the box. A lively start for the home side
    • 11' Barca have not started well at the back as Marquez gives the ball away to Sisi, who with no support goes for goal himself forcing Valdes into a great save diving down to his right to turn the ball around the post
    • 6' Messi slots the ball through to Bojan waiting in the centre ... the first touch isn't great from the youngster and it just allows Alberto the chance to go to ground in front of the attacking player putting him off enough for securing the ball
    • 5' Barca starting to settle into the match as they power forward for the first time ...
    • 3' Puyol is caught out at right back as Sesma charges towards goal ... Valdes has come a long way to try and avert the danger ... Sesma gets a shot off but can only find the side netting
    • 1' Valladolid get the match underway ...
