Barcelona moved closer to being crowned champions of La Liga again after beating Real Sociedad 2-1 at the Camp Nou on Saturday night. Lionel Messi assisted Jordi Alba's winning goal as Barca maintained a nine-point lead over Atletico Madrid with five matches remaining.
Atleti can at least take consolation from sealing a place in next season's UEFA Champions League. A 1-0 win in Eibar was enough for Atleti to make sure of a return to Europe's premier club competition.
There was also change at the other end of the table, where Celta Vigo climbed out of the bottom three by beating Girona.
