Atlético Madrid 1-0 Betis
Atlético Madrid narrowed the gap to the leaders to nine points with a 1-0 win against Betis on Sunday, Diego Costa heading home the winner in the 62nd minute. Third placed Real Madrid are sixteen points off the lead and fourth placed Málaga are a further seven points behind.
Valencia 1-1 Barcelona
A 39th minute penalty by Lionel Messi earned a point for leaders Barcelona at Valencia after Banega had put the home side in front just after the half hour mark. Barcelona enjoyed the vast majority of possession, as they generally do, but Valencia were the more attacking side, creating numerous chances.
Málaga 1-1 Real Zaragoza
Málaga will have to wait until the end of the day to see if they can hang on to fourth place in La Liga after a 1-1 draw with Real Zaragoza on Sunday.
Granada 1-0 Real Madrid
A header from Cristiano Ronaldo was the only goal of the match against Granada on Saturday evening, but unfortunately it was into his own net. This latest setback means they could end up 18 points behind leaders Barcelona by the end of the weekend and with little or no chance of defending their La Liga title.
Atlético Madrid 2-1 Sevilla in the Copa del Rey
Now that doesn’t happen very often, a 2-1 scoreline with all goals coming in the second half and all the result of penalty kicks. But it is exactly what happened in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg match between Atlético Madrid and Sevilla.
Another four for Messi
After their hiccup the other week which saw them lose their first match of the 2012-13 season, Barcelona were back to winning ways with a 5-1 win over Osasuna.
Real Madrid 4-0 Getafe
Four second half goals, one from Sergio Ramos and three from Cristiano Ronaldo, one from the penalty spot, saw Real Madrid cruise past Getafe on Sunday evening. That keeps them comfortably in third place in La Liga, although 15 points behind the leaders, Barcelona.
Deportivo 2-3 Valencia
Valencias are up to fifth place in La Liga after fighting back to win 2-3 at bottom club Deportivo.
Valencia 0-5 Real Madrid
