    • Osasuna
    • Real Madrid
    • 90+1' It's all over, and Real Madrid are champions of Spain once again! Trust them to won it in such an exciting style too! They'll be able to parade the trophy in front of Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday! Thanks for joining us, hasta pronto!
    • 88' GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!! They'll be dancing in the Cibeles fountain now as Sergio Ramos sneaks the ball out to Gonzalo Higuain on the right and he blasts in his THIRD VITAL GOAL IN THREE GAMES!!! What a dramatic way to secure back-to-back titles for the first time in almost two decades!
    • 86'' GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL MADRID!!! Higuain fires in a wicked free-kick from the wing that Arjen Robben glances in with his head to equalise!! Heartbreak for Osasuna, but can Real push on and seal the title tonight?
    • 83' GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! Punal sends Casillas the wrong way and rolls the ball in to upset the champions and possibly take his side three points above relegation!
    • 82' PENALTY!! Gabriel Heinze leads with his arm when jumping for a corner and handballs, quite blatantly too! He's already on a yellow card, but he is spared another! Punal will take it...
    • 80' Pandiani turns his man and FIRES A SHOT... Straight at Casillas from the edge of the area, who catches with no trouble.
    • 78' Sergio Ramos is down on the ground after calshing heads in mid-air. Play is stopped and he is receiving treatment.
    • 76' Higuain wins the ball and gives it to Robben. The Dutchman squares a ball to his countryman SNEIJDER... Wesley Sneijder miscues his shot from the edge of the box and it trickles wide.
    • 75' Sneijder turns on a sixpence in midfield and is tripped over by Punal. The midfielder will recieve the game's 10th yellow card.
    • 70' Some slow, laboured build-up play from Real, and the ball comes out to Heinze on the wing, but his first-time cross is woefully overhit, much to Osasuna's relief. They will be delighted with a point from this match.
    • 68' Portillo, who has taken quite a beating against his former side tonight, taken off to be replaced by Walter Pandiani, and man whose physique is more suited to a rough game.
    • 65' Raul is the next to go, and will be replaced by Gonzalo Higuain, who has scored important goals in hias last two matches.
    • 62' Javier Flano comes off to be replaced by Sola, a striker.
    • 61' Raul and Flano race after a long ball forward, and the ball hits thedefender on the arm.. NO PENALTY!!
    • 58' Pepe goes on a marauding run all the way down the wing! He gets as far as the Osasuna byline before losing the ball.
    • 56' Sneijder tries an effort from utside the box, and the chip COMES BACK OFF THE BAR!!
    • 53' The yellow cards just keep on coming as this match gets tetchier. First Sneijder is booked, and then Diarra gets a card for knocking Azpilicueta as they went up for a header.
    • 48' GOOOOOOOL!! Less than a minute with Real down to 10 men and Casillas comes charging off his line and doesn't get the ball! It's turned in, but it won't count! The referee spotted a handball in the build-up!
    • 46' Less than 20 seconds into the second half, and Fabio Cannavaro goes right through the back of Plasil when there was no threat, and the referwee sends him off! What was he thinking?
    • 46' The second half is underway! Real could be just 15 minutes away claiming the title!
    • 45+1' A tight first-half comes to a close, and the champagne will have to remain on ice for 45 minutes at least.
    • 41' Real have a corner and it comes to the far post for SERGIO RAMOS... JUST over his head! Osasuna break quickly and the ball goes up to Plasil. He has no one in front of him and can sprint at goal... He's pulled back for offside! Casillas aside, the Czech was the furthest man forward, but he was in his own half when the ball was played!
    • 38' Heinze and Cruchaga square up to each other after clashing in the air, and they are both booked. The yellow card means that Heinze will miss the next match against Barcelona at the Bernabeu.
    • 37' Osasuna have so far succeeded in their aim of furstrating Real and breaking down their fluency. Their possession has got more scrappy as the half has worn on. Saviola crosses for RAUL TO HEAD.. He couldn't get any real power on the header, which was from quite far out.
    • 33' Osasuna have the play and Punal HAS A POP... It fizzes over the bar!
    • 27' Portillo has the ball on the left side of the box. He has no support so elects to SHOOT... Casillas blocks it and pounces on the rebound before anyone else is near it.
    • 25' Mahamadou Diarra has time and space to have a shot from around 35 yards out. He STRIKES... TIPPED OVER THE BAR BY RICARDO!! That would have been Diarra's first of the season!
    • 23' Plasil puts in a good cross for Portillo, but hes flagged up for offside.
    • 15' Azpilicueta goes down in dramatic fashion after a challenge from Gabriel Heinze. The referee books him for diving! Well done referee!
    • 14' Palsil tees it up for PUNAL TO STRIKE... Inot the wall, but it rebounds for PLASIL... Wide of the mark.
    • 12' Fabio Cannavaro is the first man to be booked for a horrible challenge on ex-Real Madrid man Portillo. It sliding tackle was late, high and from behind! Plasil is the favourite to have a shot from the free-kick.
    • 9' Azpilicueta works the ball around Heinze to get his cross in, but Portillo just can't get a good connection on his head and the ball skims away from his strike partner Carlos Vela.
    • 7' Saviola has the ball at his feet and is scampering away, but he's about two yards offside!
    • 3' Wesley Sneijder shimmies and swerves his way into the box, but fires his low effort wide! The Duthman has been one of the star players for Real in coach Bernd Schuster's first season in charge.
    • 1' Welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of Osasuna v Real Madrid! A win here for Los Meringues against the relegation-threatened side from Pamplona will see them retain the league title! The match is underway!
