Barcelona 6 - 0 Rayo Vallecano

Barcelona have a thrilling upcoming matchup in the Champions League round of 16 to worry about on Tuesday, as they face Manchester City. But they didn't show any signs of looking ahead, as La Blaugrana exploded for an offensive domination in a 6-0 win over Rayo Vallecano.
Adriano got the scoring off quickly in the second minute, but Barcelona didn't strike again until minute 36 when Lionel Messi broke through to give them a 2-0 lead.
Three goals quickly after halftime and a get-your-feet-wet goal for Neymar in the 89th minute were the final touches on what turned into one of the most dominating final stat lines Barcelona have constructed in quite some time.
But despite their domination, Barcelona actually didn't have as much of a possession advantage as you'd expect. While they typically dominate over 60 percent and even more in games that they pour on this many goals, Barcelona only held a 59-41 possession advantage Saturday.
Atletico Madrid also won Saturday in a 3-0 victory over Real Valladolid, so as long as Real Madrid can beat Getafe on the road Sunday, the three-way tie will continue through the weekend.
Elche 0 - 0 Osasuna

Matchday 24 started off with a lone match on Friday as Elche and Osasuna fought to a scoreless draw in Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero in Elche, Spain.
The two sides battled back and forth through a defensive battle, while the home team saw a slight disadvantage in possession, trailing 44-56. Osasuna also had an advantage in shots on goal, firing off three to Elche's two.
The match wasn't short on questionable plays, with each club racking up three yellow cards to combine for six in the 90-minute affair. But despite the efforts of each team, they only came away with a point to show.
Elche and Osasuna could have distanced themselves in the table if one had notched a win, but with the draw, both will remain tied with Celta Vigo for 11th place in La Liga.
