Saturday Recap

Barca were clearly off the boil as they visited Malaga, and manager Luis Enrique's attack was strangely subdued as they failed to score.

The hosts took the lead midway through the first half when former Barca attacker Sandro Ramirez found the back of the net after poor defending from the visitors.

The Blaugrana were toothless as they attempted to drive forward, with Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez quiet throughout.

Neymar was shown a second yellow card after a poor challenge in the 65th minute, and Malaga made their numerical advantage pay dividends.

Jony landed the killer punch in the 90th minute, and journalist Sid Lowe bemoaned the result after the earlier draw in the Madrid derby:

Real could not put Atleti to the sword in the Spanish capital, as Antoine Griezmann equalised five minutes from time to steal a share of the points.

Pepe had given the hosts the lead shortly after the break, heading home Toni Kroos' assist.

Atletico remained competitive as they searched for a way to get back into the match, and they held firm against Real's superstar attack.

Cristiano Ronaldo failed to kill off coach Diego Simeone's side as he combined with Karim Benzema, hitting his effort straight at goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

The hosts were punished by their rivals in the 85th minute, when France international Griezmann slotted past stopper Keylor Navas to break Madridista hearts.

Sevilla rekindled lost form at home against Depor, snapping a poor run of results after their elimination from Europe.

Stevan Jovetic opened the scoring in the first minute to stun the visitors, but Gael Kakuta equalised just three minutes later.

Pablo Sarabia found the top corner in the ninth minute to give Sevilla the lead once again as the goals continued to flow in Andalusia, but Kakuta grabbed his brace as the game swung back and forth before half-time.

Attacking midfielder Joaquin Correa gave Los Nervionenses the lead for the third time in the contest after 32 minutes, and this time the visitors couldn't find a way back.

Wissam Ben Yedder slotted a fourth away with two minutes left of the game, allowing Sevilla to close the gap on third-placed Atletico to one point.

Pablo Piatti's close-range finish in the second half was enough for Espanyol, giving the Catalan side a 1-0 win against Alaves.
