Levante gave their survival prospects a massive boost after recording a surprise 3-0 victory over Getafe at Ciutat de Valencia on Friday evening. Goals from Jose Luis Morales, Giuseppe Rossi and Joan Verdu secured the three points for the Valencians.
Zinedine Zidane has made it clear to Real Madrid the priority is the Champions League. Seven points behind Barcelona and with a visit to the Camp Nou pending, the Los Blancos coach will make rotations in the Spanish top flight and prioritise on Europe. It could be like in 1998, when Madrid won their seventh European Cup after a disastrous season in La Liga, finishing fourth, 11 points behind Barcelona.
