LA LIGA WEEK 21 HIGHLIGHTS
It may be a case of better the devil you know for Barca as new boss Setien slipped to a Maxi Gomez inflicted defeat at the Mestalla. Real took full advantage by sneaking past Valladolid to move clear at the top. Sevilla closed the gap to the Blaugrana with a comfortable win over Granada, but their city rivals fell to a contentious penalty loss at Getafe; the Azulones move into fourth past Atletico, who were held by basement dwellers Leganes. Celta and Espanyol, their companions at the bottom, both drew, but the fixture in Catalonia was mired by racist abuse directed at Inaki Williams. Both teams move closer to Mallorca in 17th, who were well beaten at the Anoeta. Elsewhere, there was a home win for Osasuna and an away one for Villarreal. (TABLE)

SERIE A WEEK 21 HIGHLIGHTS
The mighty were humbled this week as Lazio’s winning run finally came to an end in a Rome derby draw, Inter failed to defeat Cagliari at home (losing Lautaro to a red card for petulance in the process), and Sarri was defeated by his old side at the San Paolo. The ultimate humiliation was reserved for Il Toro, however, as they were put to the slaughter 7-0 at home by an Atalanta side furiously bouncing back from a loss to SPAL. Donnarumma heroics and another Rebic strike from the bench kept the Rossoneri’s revival going in Brescia, whilst Parma and Hellas solidified their top ten positions with comfortable home wins. Bologna moved well clear of the drop zone with a win at SPAL, and the other games finished goalless. (TABLE)

BUNDESLIGA WEEK 19 HIGHLIGHTS
We’ll begin with Borussia again, as Haland made it 5 goals in 57 minutes for Dortmund in a 5-1 thumping of the Billy Goats. Bayern were in similarly intimidating form as they swept aside Schalke 5-0. Perhaps the most surprising result, however, was a Leipzig shutout from a reenergised Frankfurt, with the league leaders going down 2-0. The other early pacesetters, Monchengladbach, returned to winning ways with victory over Mainz, Hertha and Union moved further clear of danger with wins over Wolfsburg and Augsburg, while Paderborn made it off the bottom with a shock victory in Freiburg. There was little cause for celebration for Werder and Dusseldorf, however, who both lost 3-0 and are staring relegation full in the face. (TABLE)

LIGUE 1 WEEK 21 HIGHLIGHTS
It was a week for reflection this week in Ligue 1, as Nantes and Bordeaux (0-1) paid tribute to Emiliano Sala a year after his passing. Neymar paid his own tribute to Kobe Bryant after netting his second at Lille in a 2-0 victory. Marseille and Rennes were both limited to a point, allowing Montpellier and OL to close the gap by two points on the Champions League places. At the other end, the bottom four all lost, as Metz moved closer to safety with a victory in champagne country. Elsewhere, Wahbi Khazri scored a brace as he continues to rediscover his form for St Etienne, but Monaco’s fell off a cliff with a dreadful home defeat to Strasbourg. (TABLE)
