Villains

Only four red cards midweek, two of them coming in the match between Osasuna and Málaga where Iván González and Sergio were both sent off late on. Villarreal assistant coach Raúl Garrido (brother of his boss Juan Carlos) was sent to the stands for protesting , and Espanyol keeper Kameni was red-carded at Racing for giving away a penalty on Munitis. Although Munitis picked up an injury in the incident, the appeals committee agreed that the Cameroonian keeper did not commit the foul, and he will be allowed to play in this weekend's derby game against Barcelona. His team-mate David García will miss the match though after he picked up his fifth booking of the season, and also suspended next weekend for the same reason will be Koikili (Athletic Bilbao), Manuel Pablo (Deportivo), Rafa (Getafe - 10 cards), Caicedo (Málaga), Chori Castro (Mallorca), Christian (Racing), Rivera (Sporting - 10 cards), Del Horno (Valladolid), Moreno (Xerez) and Arizmendi (Zaragoza). Raúl Albiol (Real Madrid) picked up his fifth yellow card of the campaign as well, but he too was let off on appeal. (16.04.10)
