FinishedThat's all from us, thanks very much for joining us and see you again soon!
-
93'FT: Barcelona 0-0 Atletico Madrid!! All over at the Camp Nou and a draw is very fair!! Atletico had the better chances in the first period and Barca in the second. It was a very even game and a draw is very fair. It now means RM will win the title if they win their last four games, but I think we are in plenty of twists and turns in this title race! Messi looked sharp for Barca, but defences were definitely on top.
