It may only be a two horse race but the title could yet go to the wire after Barcelona were held to a 0-0 draw at city neighbours Espanyol. That is providing Real Madrid take advantage of the situation and beat Valencia on Sunday.
Barcelona played the last thirty minutes with only ten men after Danny Alves was sent off for a second bookable offence and are now four points ahead having played a game more.
Sevilla are back into the all important fourth place after a 3-0 victory over Sporting. Kanouté opened the scoring with Fabiana and Juan Cala then adding two more to seal a fairly comfortable win.
