Thanks for joining us this weekend for our European football coverage. Wins for Barcelona, Valencia, Atletico and Real Madrid.

So it's as you were really.

Lionel Messi has scored more goals than any other player from the top five European leagues in 2017 - 49. Can he make it 50 before the end of the year?

Rhetorical question - the answer is yes.

That's it. Barcelona move five points clear of Valencia again. Barca were deserved winners, but Villarreal's red card was the turning point.

Into three minutes of bonus time.

Joseph Robert Jones: Man City and Barcelona both continue their league unbeaten streak! Man City v Barcelona Champions League final?

Wow, what a game that would be

Free-kick to Barcelona, Luis Suarez takes this one but it's straight at Sergio Asenjo. Almost over now.

Gerard Pique goes on amazing dribble - I think he often forgets he's a centre-back - he slips the ball through to Luis Suarez but his shot is blocked.

The game is won now and Andre Gomes replaces Sergio Busquets in midfield.

Oh man, that would have been lovely. Lionel Messi plays an excellent ball over two defenders and Luis Suarez volleys wide at the back post.

Giacomo Bonaventura has just put AC Milan 2-1 up against Bologna. Is that going to be Gennaro Gattuso's first win in charge?

It's been a while since the hosts threatened and Manu Trigueros' powerful shot is parried away by Marc-Andre ter Stegen. He was nearly 30 yards out. That's the German's fifth save - his opposite number has only made two.

Jordi Alba finds Lionel Messi for the one billionth time in their career (probably) but the Argentine shoots wide at the near post.

Off comes Paulinho and on comes defender/midfielder/forward Aleix Vidal, the Spanish Steve Watson.

Close for Barcelona. Jordi Alba - so lively down the left - crosses, Luis Suarez gets a touch onto it and the ball bounces back off the post. The second time they have hit the woodwork.

Shooting from 50 yards was Roberto Soriano's last action. Defender Antonio Rukavina replaces him as Villarreal look to shore things up.

Barcelona are starting to play some slick passing now but Jordi Alba's cross is blocked.

Villarreal reach the halfway line and Roberto Soriano shoots! Can't fault his ambition but it's well wide.

Villarreal midfielder Daniel Raba dives in studs up on Sergio Busquets - and it's a straight red card. Can they hold on now?

Cedric Bakambu is booked for dissent.

Barcelona are starting to turn it on now, Jordi Alba's cross meets Lionel Messi at the penalty spot and he puts it just wide.
