Levante 0-0 Real Madrid
Real get us under way in Valencia.
Real Madrid can't move up into second place today after Atletico beat Villarreal 2-0.
Alvaro Morata scored his first goal for the club, before Saul added a late second.
To be honest, it's hard to see what Real Madrid really have to play for in the league at this stage. Even with a win today, they are still nine points off top spot.
And they are eight points above the Europa League places.

Levante v Real Madrid (19:45 GMT)
Real Madrid are 12 points behind leaders Barcelona, although this is a game in hand.
"We always look to cut the gap, it's our aim and that's what we prepare for," Santiago Solari said.
"We'd managed to do so and then last weekend we dropped points [losing 2-1 to Girona] and lost ground and we've got to close the gap again.
"Our duty is to fight for the La Liga title right until the end."

Levante v Real Madrid (19:45 GMT)
Real Madrid boss Santiago Solari isn't too happy that they get a day less to prepare for Wednesday's Copa del Rey El Clasico against Barcelona.
Barca played yesterday, beating Sevilla 4-2 with a Lionel Messi hat-trick.
"We're not the ones that decide on the calendar and are treating it as an extra challenge", said Solari.
"We'll have to be wary against Levante because they're a side that have some very quick players up top."
Levante v Real Madrid (19:45 GMT)
Levante coach Paco Lopez: "The victory last week [4-1 at Celta Vigo] gave us confidence and we have proved this season that we are capable of overcoming adversity.
"In sport there are two types of people - those who win and those who lose.
"I'm talking about attitudes, and while we are always going to respect a rival like Real Madrid, the idea is to win."

Although to be honest I'm still reeling from Kepagate.
