Elsewhere, Roque Santa Cruz continued his spell at Malaga with a goal against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey quarter-final last Thursday, although he couldn’t prevent Messi and Co from advancing in the competition to face Real Madrid in the next round.
He followed it up with 90 minutes in a 3-2 victory over Mallorca at the weekend.
Wayne Bridge played a full game as Brighton & Hove Albion were narrowly beaten 3-2 by Arsenal at the Amex Stadium in the FA Cup.
