Topics: La Liga, Barcelona, Real Madrid, El Clásico, Villarreal, Sevilla

Villarreal is also on the verge of securing a UEFA Europa League spot due to their 1-0 over Valencia.

Most headlines this week went to El Clásico, as it was one of the most tense matches of the Spanish top flight this season.

Los Blancos and Los Blaugranas left everything on the pitch, from controversial calls, good goals, and even an injury to Cristiano Ronaldo's ankle.

Speaking about the tight Pichichi race, Messi kept a safe distance over CR7 and Luis Suárez. Each of them scored a goal, and now the Golden Shoe seems to be headed to Messi's trophy cabinet.

Other teams also had things to celebrate, as Villarreal got closer to nabbing a UEFA Europa League spot. Here's how La Liga's standings look like after 36 games.
