In a weekend of missed opportunities, both Girona and Barcelona failed to capitalize on Real Madrid's draw against Valencia, surrendering points in their respective matches.
Girona, who had a chance to regain ground on the league leaders, succumbed to a 1-0 defeat at Mallorca. The hosts took the lead in the 33rd minute through Jose-Manuel Copete, and Girona's struggles continued as they failed to score for the third time in five games.
Barcelona, aiming to move into second place, were held to a goalless draw by Bilbao. The match lacked intensity, and Barcelona suffered potential injuries to Frenkie de Jong and Pedri.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, tightened their grip on fourth place with a 2-1 victory over Betis. Memphis Depay's cross deflected into the Betis net for an early lead, and Alvaro Morata added a second before halftime. Betis pulled one back through William Carvalho, but Atletico held on for the win.
In other matches, Villarreal crushed Granada 5-1, with Alexander Sorloth scoring a hat-trick.
