Athletic 0-3 Real Madrid: "Like Motorcycles": Mou's 'planB' functions, too. Kaka resuscitates with two goals (from the penalty spot). Cristiano now has 40 goals this season: two shy of his Manchester United record. Pepe played as a central-midfielder. Granero will miss el clasico against Barcelona.
Barcelona 3-1 Almeria: The leader suffers to beat the bottom club. Messi and CR7 equals at 29 at the head of the Pichichi.
Atletico Madrid: Atletico-Real Sociedad: the three-goal scorer Costa could leave Diego Forlan on the bench.
Mallorca 2-2 Sevilla
Reaction from Forzafutbol: I realize that it is imperative to maintain at least a semblance of a competition to maintain the illusion of a league race and to sell papers in the process, but no one really thinks there is a shadow of doubt as to whether or not the league race is decided. Next week's grudge match will finalize the deal.

Barcelona 3-1 Almeria: "With 8 points ahead to the Bernabeu": Barca maintain their league lead, although they suffered against a battling Almeria squad. Messi the goalscorer returned. With two goals and another that he served up for Thiago, he finished the comeback. Now, with 47 goals he equals his best season and is now Pichichi. From six to eight weeks, Bojan will effectively miss the rest of the season.
Athletic 0-3 Real Madrid: Madrid breathes, but through penalties.
Reaction from Forzafutbol: Does anyone bother to ask why most papers in Spain puts Lionel Messi as the pichichi with 29 goals followed by CR7 with 28, but Marca (who actually run the trophy giveaway), have them tied at 29? It's a conspiracy.
