Barcelona beat Deportivo 4-5 in a thrilling last match of the evening to ensure top spot for another week. Vilanova's side seemed to have things wrapped up when Jordi Alba, Tello and Messi put them three up with only just over a quarter of an hour on the clock, Fàbregas setting up the first and the third, and Messi the second. However Pizzi got one back with a hotly disputed penalty after Riki fell under a challenge from Mascherano on the edge of the area, and Alex Bergantiños scored a second goal for the locals with a low shot following a corner which went through the hands of Víctor Valdés.

Fàbregas put Messi through again for him to restore the two goal cushion before the break, but Pizzi reduced the gap again after the restart with a well struck free kick, and shortly afterwards Barça were left with ten men when Mascherano picked up a rigid second booking for a foul on Riki. Messi hit the post though with another free kick before completing his hat-trick with a house-special, picking up Xavi's short pass in midfield and turning past his marker before running past two more defenders to score. However a minute later Alba could only loop the ball over his own keeper trying to clear from Oliveira, and there were some nervous moments before the referee blew the final whistle.
