In the stadiums of Spain on Saturday and Sunday, the matches of the 15th round of "La Liga" were played. In the championship, "Barcelona" continues to lead with a significant advantage, while the team's city neighbor "Espanyol," due to interrupted matches in Madrid, rose to the second place. "Espanyol," beating "Mallorca" 2-1, surpassed the defending champions "Valencia" by one point, who secured another minimal victory - this time against the absolute underdog "Numancia." "Real" dropped to fourth place, as the match at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium against "Real Sociedad" was interrupted because the Basque newspaper "Gara" received a bomb threat. An anonymous caller claiming to be a representative of the Basque separatist group ETA said that a bomb would explode at 9:00 pm local time. So, barely 87 minutes into the game, players, spectators, and officials were evacuated from the stadium, but the police, who conducted a search, found no bomb. The remaining seven minutes of the match (three of regular time and four of added time) will be played on January 5th. In fifth place, "Sevilla" drew away against "Deportivo," while another Seville club, "Betis," rose to sixth place by defeating "Racing Santander" at home. The match between "Osasuna" and "Zaragoza" ended in a draw, while "Villarreal" and "Malaga" earned three points each by winning against "Getafe" and "Levante" respectively.
