It is still a three horse race for the La Liga title after all the 3 top teams had drawn their games. Here are the highlights of all the important games. Watch out for Messi's Hand of God.
Zaragoza 2-2 Real Madrid
Barcelona 2-2 Espanyol
It was one of the most dramatic night of football i have watched in my life. A roller coaster of emotions for both fans. Here was a timeline on how it went down.
2050: Real Madrid are the only team who can actually win it tonight, if they win, Barcelona lose, and Sevilla lose or draw.
2052: Los Merengues are also the only team who can not be knocked out of the title race happen what may.
2100: We are underway across Spain.
2101: David Beckham starts for Real Madrid, as does Ivan Helguera thanks to Miguel Torres' injury. Sergio Ramos plays on the right.
2104: As for Barcelona, Rijkaard has gone with both Gudjohnsen and Eto'o. Can the Iceland international redeem himself?
2106: Ewerthon has fired a scorcher just wide, and Eto'o was well denied by an onrushing Kameni.
2110: Gudjohnsen misses a sitter, side-footing the ball wide. At La Romareda, Casillas does well to keep D'Alesandro from scoring. Quiet start from Sevilla this far!
2113: Great cross from Beckham, Robinho on the volley, but fires it wide. The angle was tight, but he should have tested Cesar.
2114: Kameni does superbly to tip over a hammering 25-yard-drove from Xavi. That was close.
2115: Fifteen minutes gone, and no change at the top yet. There have been chances at the Camp Nou and La Romareda, though...
2117: Ewerthon bursts into the box, but his pass does nto find Milito. Madrid were stretched.
2119: Deco finds Gudjohnsen, but the Icelander again inches wide. That should have been 1-0. Kameni was well beaten!
2121: Madrid piling the pressure. A couple of corners, and two minutes outside the Zaragoza area.
2123: Barcelona in charge at Espanyol, but as during previous games, unable to find the goals.
2127: A melee at La Romareda, with D'Alessandro and Diarra at the centre of it. It started with a poor challenge from Emerson on Aimar, and another from Diarra on D'Alessandro, who responded with his own special tacke moments later.
2129: GOAL at the Camp Nou. RAUL TAMUDO stuns Barcelona with a shot from outside the area. What a key point this could be!
2131: But hang on Zaragoza have a PENALTY. Helguera handled under pressure from Aimar, and the referee had no doubts pointing to the spot. Helguera is booked.
2132: DIEGO MILITO sends Casillas the wrong way. Both Barcelona and Real Madrid behind now.
2134: Pablo Aimar is down. Looks to have tweaked his knee ligament, it seems. Zaragoza down to ten men for now.
2136: Sergio Ramos crashes into the back of former Madrid man Celades. Gets himself a booking. Needless, way into the zaragoza half.
2139: Great cross for Eto'o from the right, but the Cameroon international fires it over. Will it be another night of moans and groans.
2141: Gabriel Milito throws himself in the box to deny Ruud van Nistelrooy. Superb defending. Quick counter from Zaragoza, but nothing comes of it.
2142: LIONEL MESSI has equalized for Barcelona and given them the provisional lead in this pulsating title race, heading in from close range after Espanyol failed to deal with Deco's ball in from the left. Xavi sent it back in, and the Argentine rose highest. Could it be hand ball? It was, the 'Hand Of God'! He can't stop emulating El Diego.
2143: Barcelona 73, Real Madrid 72, Sevilla 71.
2145: Cesar denies Ruud van Nistelrooy. Superb save. He will be toasted in barcelona if this result stands.
2147: Half time across Spain. Real Madrid with it all to do.
2202: The second halves begin. Drastic measures from Capello, Raul and Emerson off, Guti and Higuain on!
2205: Roberto Carlos blasts a free-kick way over. Perhaps he should have allowed Beckham to have a go.
2206: Luis Garcia almost through, but Valdes is off his line nicely and smothers the danger.
2209: Moises Hurtado booked for bringing down Lionel Messi. Espanyol are clearly still thinking about that goal!
2212: LIONEL MESSI puts Barcelona in front, bursting into the box from the right and finishing calmly into the far post. 201 At the Camp Nou.
2213: Barcelona 75, Real Madrid 72, Sevilla 71. Real Madrid must respond now!
2215: And what a response. RUUD VAN NISTELROOY heads past Cesar to pull Real Madrid level. 1-1 at La Romareda!
2216: Barcelona 75, Real Madrid 73, Sevilla 71. Breathtaking stuff in La Liga
2217: Sevilla are struggling against a very organized Real Mallorca side, who, by the way, play Real Mhis adrid on the final matchday! It's still 0-0 at the Nou Estadi.
2219: Ruud van Nistelrooy is down clutching his leg. He is back on, but struggling.
2222: DIEGO MILITO sends Barcelona and Zaragoza wild! Superb work from Aimar, who makes short work of Roberto Carlos and Diarra to slip the ball to his compatriot, and Milito camly works his way past a couple of lunges to put Real Madrid on the rocks. 2nd of the night as it stands.
2224: Barcelona 75, Real Madrid 72, Sevilla 71.
2226: Diarra loses it. Nasty foul on D'Alessandro. Booked for his efforts. This is not over, and Madrid must keep their cool here!
2227: Reyes coms on for Robinho. That is Capello's third and final throw of the dice!
2230: Cesar out superbly to deny Reyes. Madrid have just under 20 minutes to salvage something. They will know they can score twice. Barcelona, meanwhile, will want some cushion. 2-1 is very risky.
2231: Pablo Aimar has been absolutely breath-taking! The former Valencia man is proving to be a real thorn in Real Madrid's side.
2232: Gudjohnsen misses the target, yet again!
2233: Diarra with an open header after good work from Ruud! He should have hit the target there.
2234: Higuain through on goal. Cesar saves. But offside, and rightly so.
2235: Espanyol are mounting an effort at the Camp Nou. Jarque heads over as Barcelona's vulnerability in the air is exposed.
2237: Higuain controls it superbly to round Cesar, but it runs away from him and the angle is too tight in the end.
2239: Barcelona shutting shop, it seems. Motta comes on to help clean up.
2241: Cesar having a blinder of a game. Some performance from the former Real Madrid man. denies Reyes and Higuain.
2243: David Beckham is injured and hobbling. he will not be completing this game, it seems. He was not fully fit anyway.
2245: Five minutes to go, and Real Madrid can see it slipping away. frustration from Guti as Diego Milito is substituted. What a game from him. To think Barcelona are chasing him!
2246: As things stand, Sevilla, who are having a torrid time against Mallorca, will crash out of the title race. Barcelona will be left needing just one point at Nastic next week to win.
2247: Rijkaard with his arms in the air. He does not want a slip-up! Back at La Romareda, Fernandez follows suit.
2248: Beckham with a freekick and Sergio Ramos flicks it. INCHES WIDE. It is just not Real Madrid's night! They have 2 minutes and injury time to rescue something after a great finishing stretch to the season.
2249: And as I speak, VAN NISTELROOY gives Real Madrid another late goal. Cesar saved, but the Dutchman was at hand.
2250: RAUL TAMUDO scores against Barcelona to make it 2-2 at the Camp Nou, 20 seconds after Ruus's strike! It has come a full circle inside a minute. Real Madrid back in charge of the title race! Absolutely breathtaking!
2253: It ends Barcelona 2-2 Espanyol at the Camp Nou, and Real Zaragoza 2-2 Real Madrid at La Romareda. In 20 seconds, Real Madrid salvaged it, and Barcelona threw it. Perhaps the story of the entire season! Sevilla held to a goalless draw!
2254: Real Madrid 73, Barcelona 73, Sevilla 71, and Real Madrid control their own fate again.
2255: Real Madrid are celebrating like they have won the league. Barcelona will be feeling sick in their stomachs. Another match they should have finished off. Los Merengues would just not give up! Sevilla, meanwhile, surely have too many odds stacked against them now.
Any of the three sides can still win it, though. Given the way this season has gone, you just cannot predict the script, though Madrid seem to have the luck of champions.
See you next week for the scintillating finale!
