FC Barcelona was stunned by two late goals as it was held to a 2-2 draw away to Celta Vigo on Saturday, reported Xinhua.
Hansi Flick's side looked to be cruising to a win, but was reduced to 10 men before two goals in three minutes saw it drop two vital points.
Although Lamine Yamal still hasn't recovered from his muscle problem, Robert Lewandowski was fit, along with Raphinha, and the pair both scored, with Raphinha putting Barca ahead in the 15th minute.
Lewandowski doubled the lead in the 61st minute, but things got complicated for Barca after 82 minutes when midfielder Marc Casado was sent off for seeing two yellow cards.
Alfon pulled Celta back in the 84th minute and Hugo Alvarez stunned Barcelona two minutes later, when he took a pass from Oscar Mingueza to beat Inaki Pena with an angled drive to save a point.
Atletico Madrid scored twice in the last 15 minutes to defeat Alaves 2-1.
Jon Guridi put Alaves ahead in the seventh minute from the penalty spot and Atletico huffed and puffed, but failed to break it down until Antoine Griezmann's 76th-minute penalty.
Striker Alexander Sorloth has had a difficult start at Atletico, but earned all three points with the winning goal four minutes from time.
There was plenty of emotion as football returned to Valencia's Mestalla Stadium for the first time after the tragic floods hit the region at the end of October.
The emotion spurred the home side on, and two goals from Hugo Duro helped Valencia to a vital 4-2 win against Real Betis. Duro scored twice after his own goal had canceled out Cesar Tarrega's early opener for Valencia.
Diego Lopez added Valencia's fourth, with three goals dropping in six minutes to leave Betis reeling, before Chimy Avila pulled one back in the 66th minute.
Girona was lightning fast out of the blocks and raced into a 4-0 lead at home to Espanyol, with Bryan Gil putting it in front after four minutes.
Striker Bojan Miovski scored in the 16th and 21st minutes, with Ladislav Krejci making it 4-0 after just 27 minutes, before Javi Puado scoring a second-half consolation for Espanyol.
Mallorca won 3-2 in Las Palmas, with Dani Rodriguez and Robert Navarro putting the visitor 2-0 up before Dario Essugo got Las Palmas into the match with 13 minutes left to play.
Fabio Silva scored a penalty that made it 2-2 six minutes later, and Mallorca was down to 10 men two minutes from time when Vedat Muriqi was sent off.
Las Palmas could have had a chance to claim a winning goal, but it was Johan Mojica who won it for Mallorca with a mixture of power and guile.
