Although Spanish football fans are waiting to see what will happen when FC Barcelona entertain Real Madrid on Monday night, the weekend saw the rest of the sides in the BBVA Primera Liga play their league matches.
The nine games played had their share of controversy and drama, while Villarreal and Espanyol enjoyed their moments in the spotlight.
Villarreal cemented third place in the table with a 3-0 win away to bottom of the table Zaragoza.
Zaragoza fans would have expected better on Javier Aguirre's home debut as coach, but his side was totally outplayed and 2-0 down after 17 minutes thanks to goals from Marcos Senna and Santi Cazorla.
Contini was sent off in the second half to leave Zaragoza with 10 men, just a minute before Nilmar scored Villarreal's third. Zaragoza meanwhile have had players sent off in six of their 13 matches this season.
There was controversy in the Vicente Calderon stadium as Espanyol shocked Atletico Madrid with a 3-2 away win.
Osvaldo's goal 13 minutes from time gave Espanyol all three points in a game that ended with Atletico coach Quique Sanchez Flores involved in ugly scenes with Espanyol striker Luis Garcia.
Espanyol twice went ahead through Garcia, who scored a penalty after Reyes had handled in the Atletico area, and Verdu while Atletico drew level thanks to Thiago and Kun Aguero. Osvaldo's late strike sealed all three points and all that was left was for Quique to be sent off after running onto the pitch.
