European round-up: Pique says goodbye to Barcelona, Choupo-Moting scoring streak continues

Robert Lewandowski missed a penalty as defender Gerard Pique ended his distinguished Barcelona career with a 2-0 win over Almeria.

Lewandowski blasted his seventh-minute spot-kick against the upright during a frustrating first half at the Nou Camp.

Pique, playing his final game for the club, forced goalkeeper Fernando Martinez into an early second-half save, but Ousmane Dembele's 48th-minute strike finally broke the deadlock.

Frenkie de Jong doubled the lead 14 minutes later to ensure the Catalan giants top LaLiga, at least until Monday's clash between Rayo Vellacano and Real Madrid.

Javi Sanchez and Roque Mesa scored either side of half-time as Real Vallodolid beat Elche 2-1 with Josan replying for the visitors.

Chimy Avila's first-half double was enough to secure a 2-1 win for Osasuna at Celta Vigo despite Iago Aspas' equaliser.

Getafe's Gaston Alvarez and Portu, and Cadiz's Luis Hernandez were all sent off and the home side's Enes Unal hit the post in stoppage time as a 0-0 draw came to a dramatic conclusion at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.

Eric Choupo-Moting scored twice in as many minutes to edge Bayern Munich to the top of the Bundesliga table after a five-goal thriller at Hertha Berlin.

Choupo-Moting struck in the 37th and 38th minutes after Jamal Musiala had given the visitors the lead, but Dodi Lukebakio's finish and Davie Selke's penalty dragged Hertha back into it before the break, although they could not prevent Bayern from claiming an eighth successive win in all competitions.

Borussia Dortmund are just three points worse off in third after a 3-0 home win over Bochum.

Again, all the goals came in the first half with Youssoufa Moukoko finding the back of the net twice either side of Giovanni Reyna's 12th-minute penalty.
