MADRID, March 6 (Xinhua) -- Matchday 26 in the Liga Santander saw Real Madrid return to winning ways while Leo Messi once again gave another footballing masterclass at the past weekend.

1) Luis Enrique's announcement shouldn't have a negative effect on Barcelona.

Wednesday night saw Luis Enrique shock the footballing world when he announced he would not continue as coach of FC Barcelona next season. It was not the news itself, but the timing of the announcement with a third of the season remaining which caused the surprise and it was no surprise that there was interest to see how the Barca players; some of whom are rumored to be fed up with the coach, would respond against Celta Vigo.

Ninety minutes were enough to imply that Luis Enrique's announcement should not have too much effect as Leo Messi and company produced one of their best displays of the campaign to beat a good rival 5-0.

It may be too late for Barca to overturn their 4-0 deficit to Paris Saint Germain the Champions league, but if Barca continue along these lines they could well be on track for another league and cup double.

2) How vital is Ronaldo to Real Madrid?

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane decided to rest Cristiano Ronaldo for his side's 4-1 win away to Eibar and give a chance to youngster Marcos Asensio.

He was rewarded by a hard-working display by the youngster and a return to winning ways to his side after a draw at home to Las Palmas.
