La Liga's title race has taken a dramatic turn after Barcelona and Atletico Madrid played out a 0-0 draw at Camp Nou on May 8, 2021.
With Real Madrid set to face Sevilla on Sunday, a win for the third-placed side would see them move top of the table, level on 77 points with Atletico, but ahead due to their superior head-to-head record with just three games to play.
Barcelona, meanwhile, moved up to second place with 75 points, but their chances of winning the title are now in their hands.
"We're still in the mix. La Liga's still wide open, three games is a lot even if we know it's not in our hands anymore," said Barcelona defender Gerard Pique.
The visitors enjoyed much the better of the first half, with Barcelona keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen making several crucial saves to keep his side level.
Atleti forward Angel Correa was denied by a last-gasp block from Clement Lenglet, while defender Felipe missed a gilt-edged opportunity just before the break.
Barca's best chance came through a piece of brilliance from forward Lionel Messi, who slalomed his way past five opponents, only to see Jan Oblak produce a fingertip save.
