Real Madrid failed to reclaim top spot in La Liga after slipping to a 2-1 defeat away to Real Betis on Sunday. Ironically, it was former Barcelona player Cristian Tello who scored the winner, with his 82nd-minute goal keeping his old club in first place.
Earlier, Athletic Bilbao kept themselves in the mix to be playing in a European tournament next season, thanks to an emphatic 4-1 win away to Real Valladolid. Inaki Williams was among the goals, while Raul Garcia also got on the scoresheet.
While Athletic are trending upwards, Espanyol seem consigned to be playing in Spanish football's second tier next term.
