La Liga Results 2016 Week 27: Final Scores, Latest Table, Odds After Wednesday

Real Madrid rebounded from losing the derby against Atletico to record a rare feat: an away win under head coach Zinedine Zidane. In the process, Los Blancos gave their ailing title odds a slight boost.

Cristiano Ronaldo led the way for Zidane's men, scoring one and providing another in a 3-1 victory in Levante.

It was also a good night for head coach Gary Neville, who saw his Valencia side earn a priceless 2-1 win in Malaga.

Recap

Ronaldo was not in a charitable mood after his struggles last week. He ruthlessly punished relegation-threatened Levante to send Madrid on their way to three welcome points.

The Portuguese forward continued his challenge for the golden boot, as noted by Squawka:

But Ronaldo and James Rodriguez conspired to miss a host of chances after the break. Despite Madrid's bright attacking play and general control, the final phase of the game was a nervy one for Zidane.

It took Ronaldo turning provider, teeing up Isco, to settle those nerves. As OptaJose noted, the assist was hardly a rarity for Madrid's No. 7 this season:

An own goal from Carlos Kameni set Valencia on their way to a rare away win. Los Che secured the three points courtesy of Denis Cheryshev.

Neville's men have now moved up to eighth in the table.

Things were much easier for Athletic Bilbao at home to Deportivo. As usual, ageless talisman Aritz Aduriz led the way, bagging a hat-trick as the Basque side dominated the final third.

Few players in Spain's top flight have been as prolific as the 35-year-old in recent seasons:

Iker Muniain was also on the scoresheet for Bilbao.

In Seville, it was forgotten man Fernando Llorente who struck for the hosts. Squawka revealed how much Sevilla favour home comforts:

Sevilla's three points came on a night when Celta couldn't break down Villarreal's mean defence. The Yellow Submarine have turned keeping clean sheets into an art form this season.

A true stubborn streak is at the heart of their current unbeaten run:

Villarreal's title chances are the stuff of fiction, but their iron grip on Champions League qualification for next season is very real.

As for Madrid, their hopes still look forlorn despite an impressive win. But a nine-point gap to a Barcelona side still with a game in hand will be too tough even for Los Merengues to overcome.
