Villains

Three red cards at the weekend, including a straight red for Numancia's Barkero for a hard tackle on Juanma Ortíz later on in the game against Almería. Athletic Bilbao's Orbaiz was sent off for a second bookable offence against Racing Santander, and Real Madrid's Robben also got his marching orders after picking up a second yellow card against Sevilla.

Robben will miss Saturday night's big game at the Nou Camp, as will his team mate Marcelo who was given his fifth booking of the season in the same match. Also suspended next weekend for five yellow cards will be Pellerano (Almería), Casquero (Getafe), Cuadrado (Málaga), Juanfran (Osasuna), Oscar Serrano (Racing), Poli (Recreativo) and Fernando Navarro (Sevilla).
