Lionel Messi was on target for an 18th consecutive Primera Liga game as Barcelona maintained their 13-point Liga lead over Real Madrid with a 3-1 win against Rayo Vallecano at Camp Nou. David Villa's first-half opener set Barca on their way before Messi stole the show with a brace. Raul Tamudo reduced the deficit for Rayo, but his first goal of the season was no more than a consolation.
SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain — Raul Tamudo's second-half goal lifted Real Sociedad to a 1-0 win over

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a double to lead Real Madrid to a 4-1 win over Real Sociedad on Sunday

Real Madrid was able to pull off the narrow 2-1 victory against Real Sociedad earlier today and
Cristiano Ronaldo would get the opportunity to play hero by sealing the game with a late winnerÂ
for Los Blancos.
The first half of action lacked a decisive first goal and the long awaited score would not come
until the second half for Real Madrid.
Real Sociedad are back, and if their courageous performance against Big Bad Madrid is
any indication, the Basque side are determined to stay up this season. They are my underdog pick
for the season and having finally watched one of their games I could easily get behind this
entertaining side.
