A review of the weekend's action so far in Spain's Primera Division, as Barcelona continue to set the pace.
Lionel Messi scored his 400th goal forBarcelona to round off a nervy but vital 2-0 win over Valencia to keep the Catalans top of the Primera Division.
The Argentinian scored with the last kick of the game after Luis Suarez had opened the scoring inside the first minute of the match, but this impressive Valencia side were unlucky not to take more from the game, and Dani Parejo passed up an opportunity to equalise in the first half from the penalty spot.
However, Barcelona made it to half-time unscathed and then produced a solid second-half performance to take the three points.
The Catalans remain first in the Primera Division thanks to the win, while Valencia stay in fourth, suffering just their second league defeat in 2015.
Antoine Griezmann was at the double yet again to give Atletico Madrid a 2-1 win over Deportivo La Coruna.
The Frenchman opened the scoring with just five minutes played with a stunning bicycle kick, then extended the visitors' lead midway through the first half with another impressive first-time finish to move on to 20 league goals in his first season for the Rojiblancos.
Deportivo struggled in the first half but Oriel Riera made for a tense finish by pulling a goal back in the 77th minute.
On Friday, Victor salvaged a late leveller against Espanyol to lift Levante out of the relegation zone with a point from a 2-2 draw.
