Spanish leaders Real Madrid spotted their advantage over bitter rival Barcelona because of their perfect regular season record but Barcelona beat them 1-0 at Getafe, Spain. Barcelona had earlier thrashed bottom club Levante 5-1 giving clear sign that they were ready to play and they sure proved it by beating Real Madrid. Real’s player Arjen Robben thought he had put Real in the lead sixty-five minutes but as the Real players started to celebrate referee Arturo Ibanez ruled that Real captain Raul Gonzalez had been offsides before he had passed the ball to Robben. After the free kick, Francesco Casquero broke free from the Real defenders and passed the ball to Manu Del Moral who in turn kicked it to Real’s giant striker Ikechuckwu Uche and the Nigerian cooly sloted the ball in the net from ten meters out. And Barcelona hung on to beat Real Madrid and advance in the Title Race
