News from Spain
It now seems almost certain that Real Madrid will retain the title after beating struggling Murcia 1-0 in the capital last night - Barcelona's 2-2 draw on Saturday and Villarreal's 0-1 defeat away to Almería now means that the champions are nine points clear with just six games left.
Valencia's desperately disappointing league season continued with another home defeat on Saturday - against Racing Santander, who are now just one point adrift of Atletico Madrid in the battle for the fourth Champions League berth.
At the Santiago Bernabeu, the home side were reduced to ten men in the 20th minute when Miguel Torres was rightly red-carded for a brutal challenge from behind on Dani Aquino, who will be nursing a sore ankle this morning no doubt.
Notwithstanding, the relegation-bound strugglers from the southeast were unable to muster up much of a threat against the leaders and eventually succumbed to a 58th-minute Wesley Sneijder goal - a powerful, curling drive into the top corner after some shocking defending failed to deal with Raúl's assist.
Elsewhere, Sevilla's renaissance continued with a thrilling 2-3 win against Mallorca with goals from Renato, Kanoute and Dani Alves. The Andalucía outfit already appear to have cemented a place in next season's UEFA Cup competition and remain very much in the race for the final Champions League spot.
