A review of the weekend's action so far in Spain's Primera Division, as Barcelona lose 1-0 at home to Celtic Vigo.
Luis Suarez's Nou Camp debut turned into a nightmare for Barcelona as they were beaten 1-0 by coach Luis Enrique's former side Celta Vigo.
The Catalan giants had nine shots on target and hit the woodwork three times, but the game was decided by Joaquin Larrivey's strike in the 55th minute - dealing Barca a first home defeat since January.
The result was a second straight loss in La Liga for Luis Enrique's side following last weekend's Clasico reverse at the Bernabeu, and meant Barca also surrendered top spot to their arch rivals following Real Madrid's 4-0 win atGranada earlier on Saturday.
Cristiano Ronaldo hit his 20th goal in 12 games to get Carlo Ancelotti's side off to a dream start at the Nuevo Los Carmenes stadium and half an hour later James Rodriguez scored a wonder goal, followed by a tap in in the second half, while Karim Benzema also got in on the scoring act.
This was yet another dominant performance from Los Blancos, who last week outplayed fierce rivals Barcelona and host a beleaguered Liverpool side on Tuesday.
Antoine Griezmann scored twice and Koke had a hand in three goals asAtletico Madrid cruised to a 4-2 win against Cordoba.
Griezmann put Atletico ahead just before the break but Nabil Ghilas grabbed the first of his two goals to level things up shortly after the interval.
Griezmann's second restored the home side's lead and further goals from Mario Mandzukic and Raul Garcia put the result beyond doubt before Ghilas scored his second.
Juanmi scored the only goal as Malaga won 1-0 away to struggling Real Sociedad.
The playmaker found the net from close range as a lacklustre game entered its final 20 minutes, and it was enough to seal maximum points.
Getafe climbed to ninth in the table on Friday after they cruised to a 2-1 win over Deportivo la Coruna at the Estadio Riazor.
Cosmin Contra's side came through tough conditions in the first half on Friday night to nip ahead of their hosts courtesy of an own goal from Deportivo goalkeeper Ramirez Fabricio.
Angel Lafita doubled their lead 20 seconds into the second half and from there it was fairly comfortable for the Azulones to hold out for the win, despite Helder Postiga grabbing a late consolation for Depor.
