Real Madrid returned to the LaLiga summit as Carlo Ancelotti’s men came from behind to win 2-1 at Las Palmas.

Having fallen behind to Javier Munoz’s 53rd-minute goal, Real – without the suspended Jude Bellingham – hit back with Vinicius Junior equalising before Aurelien Tchouameni notched the winner with six minutes of normal time remaining.

A fifth successive league win for Los Blancos sees them move two points above Girona, who play at Celta Vigo on Sunday.

Third-placed Barcelona are 10 points off the top after two stoppage-time Villarreal goals saw the champions beaten 5-3 in a thrilling contest at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.

Trailing 2-0 via efforts either side of the break from Gerard Moreno and Ilias Akhomach, Barca suddenly turned things around with strikes from Ilkay Gundogan, Pedri and an Eric Bailly own goal in quick succession.

Villarreal then brought the score back level through Goncalo Guedes’ 84th-minute finish, before Alexander Sorloth and Jose Luis Morales added goals deep into stoppage time to complete a stunning comeback from the visitors and make it it back-to-back defeats for Xavi’s men, beaten 4-2 after extra time at Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday.

Following the game, Xavi announced in his post-match press conference that he will leave the club at the end of the season, saying: “I think the situation needs to change course, and as a culer (Barca fan), I cannot allow the current situation.”

Real Sociedad and Rayo Vallecano played out a 0-0 draw at Reale Arena, and Real Betis won 1-0 at Mallorca thanks to Sergi Altimira’s goal.

Bayern Munich are two points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen having won 3-2 at Augsburg.

Teenager Aleksandar Pavlovic, with his first Bayern goal, and Alphonso Davies put the visitors in command at the interval.

Harry Kane’s 23rd Bundesliga goal, sandwiched between a Ermedin Demirovic double, eventually proved the difference.

Leverkusen subsequently dropped points as they were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Borussia Monchengladbach.

Third-placed Stuttgart thumped fourth-placed RB Leipzig 5-2 at home, with Deniz Undav scoring a hat-trick, Freiburg lost 3-1 at Werder Bremen and there were 1-1 draws between Hoffenheim and Heidenheim, and Wolfsburg and Cologne, who move up from second-bottom to 16th.

In Serie A, leaders Juventus were held to a 1-1 draw at home to struggling Empoli after losing Arkadiusz Milik to an early red card.

A man down before the midway point of the first half with Milik sent off following a VAR review for a late studs-up challenge, Juve then took the lead through Dusan Vlahovic at the start of the second half, but Tommaso Baldanzi equalised in the 70th minute.

They are two points ahead of second-placed Inter Milan, who play one of two games in hand when they go to Fiorentina on Sunday.

Third-placed AC Milan blew the chance to put maximum pressure on the two teams above them as Riccardo Orsolini’s stoppage-time penalty snatched a 2-2 draw for Bologna in an eventful clash at the San Siro.

The hosts failed to convert two penalties of their own but still looked set to take the three points when Ruben Loftus-Cheek headed his second goal of the game in the 83rd minute.

Loftus-Cheek had earlier cancelled out an opener from Joshua Zirkzee, but Milan’s wasteful spot-kicks cost them with Olivier Giroud seeing his effort saved and Theo Hernandez missing.

Atalanta rose to fourth with a 2-0 home win over Udinese.

In Ligue 1, second-placed Nice beat Metz 1-0 at home courtesy of an Evann Guessand penalty, while Marseille drew 2-2 with Monaco at the Stade Velodrome, a game that saw the visitors have both Guillermo Maripan and Denis Zakaria sent off.
