All four Spanish teams are through to the last sixteen of the Champions League.
Real Madrid traveled to BATE Borisov and in the freezing conditions, did just enough to get through, Raúl scoring the only goal early in the first half.
Villarreal and Manchester United drew 0-0 in a match which saw Capdevila given his marching orders for a foul on Cristian Ronaldo.
Atlético Madrd overcame PSV Eindhoven 2-1, Simao and Maxi the scorers for Atlético. The match was played in an empty stadium following a UEFA ban but that didn’t stop the fans from gathering outside.
Barcelona were comfortable 5-2 winners against Sporting Lisbon and stay top of their group. Both teams had already qualified for the knockout stage.
Henry opened the scoring for Barcelona, getting on the end of a Lionel Messi cross and guiding the ball into the net from close range. Pique and Messi then made it 3-0. There were then three goals in as many minutes as Sporting staged a comeback.
Miguel Veloso scored a free-kick and Liedson made it 3-2, but Marco Caneira then put the ball into his own net which rather dented Sporting’s chances of staging a spectacular recovery. Krkic added the fifth from the penalty spot in the 73rd minute after being fouled by Rui Patricio. The incident saw Patricio ordered from the field.
