Suarez's feat
By finding the net against Real Valladolid in midweek, Barcelona's Luis Suarez has now achieved the impressive feat of scoring against every team he has faced in La Liga.
That is 27 different clubs, since moving to the Camp Nou in 2014.
Aduriz hits 400
In his final season before retirement, Aritz Aduriz hit another milestone for Athletic Club by making his 400th official appearance for the Bilbao-based team.
By coming on against Espanyol, the striker reached this total. Of his 400 matches for the Basque side, Aduriz has won 155, drawn 104 and lost 141.
