With the league title already in the bag, Rafa Benítez rested Cañizares for the first time this season, and with Palop injured, third choice keeper Rangel made his league debut for Valencia against Villarreal. That leaves only Casillas and Reina who have played every minute of the league this season. It was a high scoring weekend, and only three keepers kept clean sheets. Víctor Valdés (Barcelona), Contreras (Betis) and Munúa (Deportivo). Contreras was replacing the injured Prats and Munúa was given another run out in place of Molina, who with nothing to play for is being rested. Elsewhere Aragoneses returned to Atlético's goal, and Valbuena replaced Lainez for their opponents Zaragoza. (17.05.04)
