An injury-weakened Real Madrid grabbed a late win at Celta Vigo. In Germany, Bayern Munich increased their advantage at the top of the Bundesliga.
But the major story came in France. Monaco defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 on Friday, handing the champions their first home loss this season.
The victory throws the Ligue 1 title race open. PSG remains in first place, but their lead is now just four points over second-place Lens.
Maghnes Akliouche gave Monaco a halftime lead. Teammates Aleksandr Golovin and Folarin Balogun scored in the second half to secure the win. PSG's only goal was a late consolation from Bradley Barcola.
Lens can reduce PSG's lead to one point if they win their next match on Sunday.
