MADRID, March 18-- FC Barcelona opened up an 11 point lead over Atletico Madrid at the top of the La Liga Santander after they enjoyed a comfortable 2-0 win at home to Athletic Club Bilbao ahead of the international break, while Atletico Madrid lost 2-1 away to Villarreal. Barca were quickly ahead against a side struggling for confidence and form and quickly took the lead when Paco Alcacer, in the side for the suspended Luis Suarez, side footed home from 10 yards out. It was all Barca after that, and Leo Messi doubled their lead on the half hour and but for visiting keeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga and the woodwork the game would have been over by halftime. Barca took their foot off the gas while Athletic improved and a dull second half saw few chances at either end. Meanwhile Atletico's title bid looks to be over after two late goals from Enes Unal condemned them to a 2-1 defeat away to Villarreal. Antoine Griezmann's 20th minute penalty looked as if it was going to be enough to give Atletico their 10th 1-0 win of the season, but their usually rock solid defense went to sleep twice in the last 10 minutes. Unal's first goal came in the 82nd minute as the Turk headed home following a corner and he then netted the winner in injury time. Cristiano Ronaldo scored four goals as Real Madrid won an entertaining game 6-3 at home to Girona. The Catalan side went in level at the break after Ronaldo's first goal and an equalizer from Cristhian Stauni, ahead of a second half which produced seven goals. |
