Played Saturday:
ATLETICO MADRID 5 MALAGA 0
Atletico put together their longest winning run in 14 years when they made it six out of six with this crushing victory over basement side Malaga.
Leading striker Fernando Torres took his tally for the season to 10 with a quickfire double in the first 10 minutes and Argentine forward Maxi Rodriguez made it 3-0 when he ghosted in at the far post after a Martin Petrov free kick.
Serbian striker Mateja Kezman spurned a chance to add another before the break when he fired a penalty straight at Goitia but substitute Juan Valera made it four with the goal of the night, a 25-metre rocket shot midway through the second half.
Malaga midfielder Duda was sent off for use of the elbow 12 minutes from time and Valera took advantage to head in his second and Atletico's fifth in the final minute.
REAL ZARAGOZA 0 BARCELONA 2
Zaragoza, who put Barca out of the King's Cup, looked as though they might frustrate the Catalans once again as they produced a masterful defensive display in the first half.
But they eventually gave way when midfielder Albert Celades was sent off after tipping Edmilson's shot on to the bar with his hand and Ronaldinho scored from the spot 10 minutes from time.
Substitute Henrik Larsson made sure of the win when he snapped home a first time shot after Samuel Eto'o had clipped in a cross from the right.
The game was marred by racist abuse directed at Eto'o, who threatened to leave the pitch in the second half but was persuaded by team mates and Barca coach Frank Rijkaard to carry on playing.
