MADRID, May 14 -- The penultimate round of games in the Spanish La Liga produced one of the most entertaining matches of the campaign as Barcelona ended their unbeaten run 5-4 away to Levante. Here are a few things we learned this weekend in Spain.
1 Double winners have work to do
Most Barcelona followers agreed after their Champions League exit to Roma that the squad needs strengthening over the summer if they are to compete on three fronts next season. The defeat to Levante highlighted where the work needs to be done.
Although Ernesto Valverde left Lionel Messi at home, Barcelona scored four goals, but the fact that they conceded five showed they need to strengthen their defense. Thomas Varmaelen suffered another injury and Yerri Mina, who only arrived in January, looked slow and awkward, highlighting why Valverde has hardly used him.
2 Bale gives Zidane something to think about
While Celta Vigo were hardly the most demanding of rivals for Real Madrid on Saturday evening, Gareth Bale's two goals in the 6-0 win will give coach Zinedine Zidane something to think about as he prepares for the Champions League final.
The Welshman's pace and finishing were decisive in both goals and after being on the bench in the quarters and semi-finals, he may have won a place in the starting 11 for Kiev. Although the fact that Zidane has to decide between Bale, Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Isco and Lucas Vazquez to see who will play alongside Ronaldo says a lot about the depth of talent available to him.
