Here is a quick look at some of the results from four of the top leagues in Europe on Saturday.
La Liga: Real Murcia 3-5 Barcelona
The Catalan club ended the season on a high note after their recent embarrassment at the hands of Real Madrid. Goals from Samuel Etoโo (23โ), Thierry Henry (26โ), and a hat-trick from Giovani dos Santos (33โ, 52โ, and 66โ) proved too much for Murcia.ย
Barcelona will be in unfamiliar territory soon enough when they attempt to qualify for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
