The same as Atlético, who with a new double from Diego Costa is still tied on points with those of Tata Martino. However, the match of the day was the one played by Levante and Real Madrid and which ended with a white victory in the last minute after a discreet match by the madridistas who did not deserve to win.

Valencia and Athletic tied to one.

2- No top three win. The Bundesliga lived a new day that again did not bring a draw to 0 y from 110 without doing it. Bayern Munich did not go from a draw to 1 against Bayern Leverkusen, stumble that Borussia Dortmund did not take advantage of, which fell 2-0 against the other Borussia de Mönchengladbach for 2-0 reaping his first defeat in the competition. Maybe, Guardiola's men were more thinking about the party that accompanies the city than about the party itself.

Although the leader, Arsenal is still one more match, who, however, I do not pass the tie. By the way, Michu is finally international, even at the cost of David Villa's injury.

4- Monaco continues to lead. In France, The big news aside from a new victory for Monaco without goals this time by Riviere or Falcao was the bulky defeat of Lyon against Montpellier by 5-1 that leaves the former Ligue champions 1 closer to relegation places than Europe. El PSG, meanwhile, won in the always difficult field of the Vélodrome de Marseille by 1-2 despite playing with ten for more than 60 minutes.
