A midweek round of games this week, with Real Madrid and Barcelona both winning on Wednesday night to keep up their fight for this season’s title. Barça were first up with a 3-0 victory over fourth placed Sevilla, Luis Suárez scoring the opener midway through the first half and Messi adding two more in the next eight minutes. Madrid responded though with a 2-4 win at neighbours Leganés, Morata taking advantage of a rare start to help himself to a hat-trick (albeit that his third was at first attributed to a Mantovani own goal). Athletic moved up to sixth after beating Espanyol 2-0 on Tuesday, Aduríz converting an early penalty and then scoring the second before the break, and Eibar are still in the running for the European spots after a 3-1 win against Las Palmas on Thursday, Adrián González making sure of the three points from the penalty spot. Celta’s Iago Aspas also converted a penalty at Valencia, even though the Galicians lost 3-2 in the end, and Málaga’s Sandro scored a vital goal in a 0-1 win at Sporting Gijón which takes the Andalusians away from the danger zone. It all starts again though this weekend. (07.04.17)
