RMadrid v Osasuna
The away team lie in a very cosy 11th place, unlikely to qualify for Europe but not threatened by relegation, so are not too concerned with the rest of his season...it would seem.
Elche v ATM
On the other hand this has all the hallmarks of a banana skin scenario for Atletico. The home team lie 18th and are desperately fighting against relegation
Tomorrow sees Barca at Valencia, an Eastern Seaboard derby. The hosts are traditionally regarded as La Liga's 4th team but they are having a 'mare of a season, languishing down among the dead men in 14th place. But as Granada showed, Barca do fire blanks occasionally and this could be squeaky-bum time for their fans

Elche 0 ATM 1
Lucky Atletico. They scored with a deflected shot from Llorente but were outplayed and on the back foot for most of the second half. Elche got a last-minute penalty but that effort came back off the post with the keeper well beaten. This puts the pressure back on Madrid and Barca

Real Madrid won their match against Osasuna comfortably enough, although they had to rely on defenders Militao and Casemiro for their 2 goals. The Galacticos two forgotten men made appearances. Isco replacing the injury-probe Eden Hazard midway through the second half. Tonight sees Barca make the 350 km journey down the East Coast to play Valencia, while outsiders in the title race Seville, play host to Bilbao on Monday

Valencia 1 Barca 0 (52 mins) Valencia has a corner. The Barca keeper rushes out, collides with one of his defenders and a Valencia player, falls to the ground and meanwhile an unmarked Valencia player has to do no more than allow the ball to hit his head and he's scored. But Messi is having none of this. Within a couple of minutes he's evened the score, after missing the penalty but manages to scramble the rebound into the net Now Griezmann has given Barca the lead with a header from a wonderful cross from Messi again with a trademark 25-yard free-kick. It's raining goals
