Real Madrid move top as Barcelona slip up

Real Madrid moved to the top of La Liga on goal difference at the weekend after a thrilling victory against Sevilla. The Bernabeu faithful witnessed their side overcome a two-goal deficit to win the game 3-2 thanks to Rafael Van Der Vaart's desperate injury time winner.

Real Madrid would have been inspired to hear of Barcelona's earlier stumble, with the Catalan giants drawing 2-2 with Almeria and relying on Argentine star Lionel Messi to score twice in order to salvage a point.

This weekend, in a title race that is fascinating football fans from all over the world, Real travel to lowly Valladolid whilst Barcelona host Valencia, who's own title dreams appear to be well and truly over, thanks to a frustrating goalless draw with Racing Santander on Monday night. The tension at the top of the table is making for an irresistible El Clsico clash next month, and Tixdaq.com can reveal that tickets are still available for one of the most eagerly anticipated clashes in the football calendar.

Elsewhwere in the league, seemingly doomed Xerez came back from behind to record a 4-2 victory over Malaga, and will be hoping to carry on their momentum against eighth placed Villareal this weekend, with the bottom side still ten points away from safety.

Atletico Madrid secured a last-gasp leveller at Real Zaragoza, as Athletic Bilbao kept within reach of the European places with a 2-0 victory over Valladolid. Deportivo also boosted their hopes of European football next season after a 3-1 victory over relegation battlers Tenerife, setting up an interesting game this coming weekend as they travel to Sevilla, with tickets available to compare and buy here at Tixdaq.com.
