Real Madrid 1 - 2 Ath Bilbao
Ath Bilbao are through to the finals of the spanish supercup after defeatting Real Madrid last night, away from home. It was yet another disjointed performance from Real Madrid players; an ageing midfield and a lacklustre forward line. Is zidane job going to be on the line ?

Atletico Madrid continues to pile up points and maintain or add more to their lead at the top of the table. Keep in mind that they are still three games behind as the league heads over to matchday 20. With Real Madrid and Barcelona both faltering, it's AM's title to lose.

ATM distanced itself from Madrid by 7 points...
it looks like Suarez has had a good influence on the patterns of ATM gaming. salute for ATM's achievements this season.

^ While it's a good lead, it's still early to be congratulating them. There are plenty of games left and the competition will get more intense as the season's end draws near. I hope they are focus enough not to succumb to pressure from Real Madrid and Barcelona.

I agree wihth you; there are already talks by journalist suggesting to give Suarez the signing of the season award already; his experience in attack has been a blessing for Atletico and i can say he is very vital in their title push. If Atletico continue their amazing run and win their games in hand it will be a title triumph to remember for a longer time

I just checked the table and was surprised (not that much) that Barca is now level on points with Real Madrid sitting at second place due to goal difference. Atletico Madrid on the other hand has a double digit lead. That's pretty tough to cut down even for RM and Barca.

I'll update the table in the OP after the Real Betis and Osasuna match. I picked Real Betis by the way.

Deportivo Alaves ? - ? Real Valladolid

Relegation contemporaries in the La liga face up tonight; with Valladolid having just 1 point more than Alaves who is 19th on the league standings. Who will come out winners? or would it be a draw ? What do you think ?

[Zed0X]

Atletico Madrid finally dropped some points since the start of the year. They are still in the lead with a possible double digits gap courtesy of their two games in hand but the draw brings some hope to both Real Madrid and Barca.

The bottom of the table is actually more interesting to follow than the top

This week has been funny to be honest; Atletico had a draw and dropped 2 points for the first time in a long run,
Real Madrid won and got a clean sheet too for the first time in a long run

But Barcelona still cannot win without Messi; how would that team survive if messi leaves come july ?

It's not like they have not prepared for it since their golden era. They knew one day Messi will leave the club either by retirement or transfer. Transition isn't easy and every team I know of has the same struggle. I think it was Sir Alex Ferguson who said that it takes at least 4-5 years to rebuild a team. He knows that very well because of how many teams he built in his almost three decades tenure ay Man U as manager.

Ath Bilbao - Levante

Sevilla 2 - 0 Barcelona; Barcelona lost away in the first leg of the copa del rey last night; can they sprung up a comeback at Camp Nou ?
