it certainly isn't for a side of Atletico's quality. The weekend in full:
Almeria 1 Atletico Madrid 1
Athletic Bilbao 3 Valencia 2
Getafe 0 Racing Santander 1
Malaga 4 Espanyol 0
Real Madrid 3 Osasuna 1
Recreativo Huelva 2 Sporting Gijon 0
Valladolid 1 Real Betis 3
Villarreal 2 Mallorca 0
Barcelona 5 Deportivo La Coruna 0
Sevilla 1 Numancia 0
Barcelona's lead remains at 12, Real Madrid scoring three second half goals to end a scare at home to Osasuna. Valencia's slip-up in that entertaining game at the San Mames means there's a 4-point gap betwee them and Sevilla in third. Only goal difference keeps Malaga, unstoppable at the moment, out of the European spots as they leapfrog Deportivo. Villarreal's important win sees them fifth.
At the bottom, a big win away for Real Betis with Sergio Garcia scoring twice, that puts them six points clear of the drop. There's a gap opening up between the bottom three and the rest, Osasuna are 7 points from safety, Mallorca 6 and Espanyol 5. Racing's win at Getafe, thanks to Nikola Zigic, sees them enter the top half.
