Its as you were a the top of La Liga as Real Madrid and Barcelona got the better of Tenerife and Malaga respectively. Real Madrid were by far the more convincing of the two, as they produced yet another display of blistering attacking football, which blew away the relegation candidates from the Canaries. Gonzalo Higuain got his fifth double of the season so far, whilst Raul's last gasp fifth made him the third highest scorer in La Liga history. The other scorers were Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka as their partnership goes from strength to strength. Barcelona had to work hard for their three points, as they enjoyed a total monopoly of the ball, but found a Malaga defence in resolute mood. Pedro opened the scoring, but once Valdo equalised with only ten minutes remaining it looked as if Barcelona were going to finish the weekend joint top with their eternal rivals. but up stepped the world finest, Lionel Messi, to finish off a scintillating team move to ensure Barca maintained their two point advantage at the top. Many, including myself, had written off Real Madrid not too long ago. How wrong we were.
