FC Barcelona broke the Anoeta curse, Villarreal finally won away to Real Madrid, Sevilla continued a poor run of form, and Real Betis won another hugely entertaining match. Those were the headlines from this round of La Liga, which also saw Atlético Madrid and Valencia pick up important victories to keep the title race alive. At the other end of the table, Málaga lost their fourth straight while Las Palmas were trounced.
Barcelona came back from being 0-2 down to win 4-2 against Real Sociedad, for the first time in the league in ten years at the Anoeta Stadium.
