Barcelona and Real Madrid failed to turn up the heat on one another in Week 17 of La Liga after each were held to draws in their visits to Real Sociedad and Valencia, respectively.
The Blaugrana's draw at Sociedad on Saturday didn't come without incident, however, and was one of several fixtures marred by VAR controversy this weekend.
Karim Benzema converted a 95th-minute equaliser to secure a point for Real in their visit to Los Che, who came within seconds of handing Real their first defeat in almost two months.
Spain's top two are level on points ahead of the first Clasico of the season on Wednesday at the Camp Nou, while Sevilla missed their chance to move within a point of the top after losing 2-1 at home to Villarreal.
