MADRID, March 3 -- FC Barcelona left Real Madrid trailing by the wayside in the race for the title in Matchday 26 in Spain and probably ensured that Madrid coach Santiago Solari won't be at the club at the end of the season at the same time.
Barca's 1-0 win in the Santiago Bernabeu was their second win on Real Madrid's home turf in just four days and buried their league hopes as on Wednesday's they ended their rival's expectations in the Copa dle Rey.
Ivan Rakitic scored the only goal of the game and although Barca defenders Gerard Pique and Clement Lenglet had to be alert to block chances from Vinicius Jr and Luka Modric, Barca controlled most of the game and now sit 12 points clear of a Madrid side that has lost three consecutive home games.
Atletico Madrid lost 3-0 away to Real Sociedad last season, but this Sunday, two first half headers from Alvaro Morata gave them a 2-0 win which leaves them second in the table, seven points behind Barca and five ahead of Real Madrid.
The only disappointment for Atletico was that Koke was sent off in the second half for two bookings and will miss next Saturday's derby at home to Leganes.
Leandro Cabrera and Jaime Mata (who netted his 11th goal of the season) helped Getafe take advantage of Betis' Copa del Rey hangover and strengthen their claim on a top-four finish as Getafe won 2-1 in the Benito Villamarin Stadium.
Joaquin Rodriguez scored for Betis with 15 minutes left to play, but Getafe's defense snuffed out any hopes that goal gave the home side.
