Villains

Three red cards at the weekend, including one for Villarreal keeper Diego López who was sent off for bringing down Crusat with only a quarter of an hour gone in their match against Almería. Real Madrid full back Miguel Torres was also in the showers midway through the first half after a tackle from behind on fellow youth international Dani Aquino, and Zaragoza's Matuzalem got his marching orders for a second bookable offence later on in the game against Getafe.

They will be joined on the sidelines by nine players who completed the five yellow card cycle, including Guti (Real Madrid) and Poli (Recreativo) with ten bookings each, and Crusat (Almería), Pavone (Betis), Manuel Pablo (Deportivo), Goitom (Murcia), Monreal (Osasuna), David Silva (Valencia) and García Calvo (Valladolid) with five.
