Vicente Iborra pulled one back for the Yellow Submarine and Marco Asensio had a strike ruled out for handball deep into stoppage time.

With only one round of matches left to play, Los Blancos went seven points clear at the top of the table ahead of Barca, whose form and finances have been ruined by the coronavirus.
