Real Madrid kept their calmness under pressure to produce a convincing 3-1 win away to Racing Santander to remain seven points behind FC Barcelona at the end of Spain's 27th round on Sunday.
Real Madrid travelled without the injured Cristiano Ronaldo, but Karim Benzema scored twice and Emmanuel Adebayor added a goal as Ronaldo was forgotten with a comfortable win in what could have been a complicated evening in the el Sardinero Stadium..
Meanwhile Barcelona rested key players such as Andres Iniesta and David Villa for the visit of struggling Zaragoza.
Coach Pep Guardiola was on the bench, despite having spent the previous two days in hospital with a distal hernia and saw a goal from Seydou Keita on the stroke of halftime give his side the points.
It was not a vintage performance from Barcelona, but the league leaders were never in trouble and were it not for a series of good saves from Zaragoza goalkeeper Toni Doblas, the margin of victory would have been wider.
Valencia produced a solid display to win 2-1 in Mallorca. Ivan Ramis put the home side ahead from the penalty spot on the half hour but Pablo Hernandez levelled the score two minutes later following a pass from former Mallorca striker Aritz Aduriz.
The winger scored his second of the night early in the second half to assure the points that keep his side third.
Atletico Madrid returned to form with a 3-1 win at home to Villarreal. Atletico's best three players of the season, Kun Aguero, Diego Forlan and Jose Antonio Reyes all scored to lift the club back into European places.
