WARNING - GRAPHIC CONTENT: During Sunday's match between Real Betis and Athletic Bilbao, a LaLiga assistant referee was left with a bloodied face after crashing with a pitchside camera. After reporting Chimy Avila's 13th-minute opening goal for Betis, female official Guadalupe Porras was back to her position on the touchline. The television coverage didn't initially pick up what had happened as Betis medical staff rushed over to assist Porras, assisting her with a stretcher before transferring her to an ambulance.

Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao, giving them a ten-point lead at the top of La Liga. It means they will face Real Madrid in Clasico next week knowing that if they win the game they will be 12 points in front with just 12 games remaining to play - Xavi will be close to his first league title as a manager. It was the first match played in Spain after Barcelona was first accused by the public prosecutor of paying a former referee to influence matches in their favor, and there was a certain irony in the victory, which was owing to two VAR decisions that went their way.
