An eventful Matchday 14 in La Liga concluded on Sunday with more changes taking place among the top 6 clubs.
The most interesting bits and pieces of action took place on Saturday, with Barcelona coming from behind to beat Leganés thanks to a late goal by Arturo Vidal. The Chilean ace is experiencing a re-birth with Los Blaugranas, and his goalscoring stats are a good example of how relevant the footballer has become for Ernesto Valverde.
The man for the big moments.

Later that day, Atlético Madrid failed to hold on to a 1-0 lead at Granada, giving the hosts a chance to bounce back. It's been the fourth draw for Simeone's men in their last six La Liga games, which makes us wonder how far they would be in the tournament if they had won at least a couple of those games.
Atletico Madrid this season in LaLiga.

Then, Real Madrid finished off the day with an emphatic win against Real Sociedad, even after a blunder by Sergio Ramos. During that game, fans were treated to one massive performance by Luka Modric, who had a day to remember by having a key role in all the goals.
3 - Luka Modrić has been involved in three goals in the same game for @realmadriden in all competitions for the first time (one goal and two assists). Brilliant. pic.twitter.com/jjdJGZ4kfE

Pichichi race
One more goal for Karim Benzema saw the French ace cement his spot as the top scorer in the league. Loren Morón, Gerard Moreno and Lionel Messi are still behind in the race for the Golden Boot.
With another goal, @Benzema remains on top of the scoring charts. #RealMadridRealSociedad pic.twitter.com/ycOwWZXqhW

La Liga standings after Matchday 14
Only three teams separate the first and the fourth place, but with one game in hand, December's Clásico could be more crucial to broaden that gap at the top.
Wins for @FCBarcelona, @realmadriden and @SevillaFC_ENG keep it tight at the top. #LaLigaSantander pic.twitter.com/PaEiCdJeiS
