- Atlético Madrid win 3-1 at Real Betis
- Álvaro Morata’s goal enough for Juve against Spezia
Barcelona fought back to earn a 2-1 win in a frantically entertaining match at Elche as a late penalty from Memphis Depay ensured they continued their revival after a difficult start to the season.
Having fallen as low as ninth in November, when their coach Ronald Koeman was fired, Xavi Hernández’s revitalised Barca have climbed into La Liga’s top three with 48 points, leapfrogging Betis in third place.
