Villains

Only three red cards this weekend, the first for Mallorca defender Nunes for demonstrating his goalkeeping abilities late on in the match against Getafe. Aouate would have been proud of his save, but the referee was less impressed and awarded a penalty to the locals. Valencia's Maduro got his marching orders for a second bookable offence midway through the second half against Barcelona on Sunday, and the following day Atlético's Simao was red-carded as well for a second booking against Osasuna. Five players will also be suspended next weekend for accumulation of yellow cards, including Maduro's team mates Bruno (ten bookings) and Zigic (five), Simao's colleague Agüero (five), and Deportivo's Antonio Tomás and Laure (five each).
