Just catching up after a long weekend away, but Villarreal lost Diego Lopez to a red card in the 17th, and gave up the only goal of the match six minutes from time to lose any chance at moving up, on a weekend where Atletico and Barcelona drew. The "sure" Champions League places are getting a little tighter, as Villarreal are now only five points ahead of Atletico Madrid and six points up on Racing Santander. Things need to turn around in a hurry....
