February kicked off with a highly charged game: the big Catalan derby between Espanyol and Barcelona.
It proved to be a hard-fought clash: Barça only managing to save a point thanks to a last-gasp header from Gerard Pique.
It was their first setback in a month which would see them draw two more games: against Getafe and Las Palmas.
Atletico Madrid took advantage of Valverde's side slight blip.
Five wins in a row and four clean sheets made them February's best team.
Their fine run owed much to Antoine Griezmann, who scored eight goals in their five outings.
They were still very much involved in the title race.
"We're on a really good run which owes a lot to all the hard work we've put in. I think we've been playing good football
throughout the season but at the start of the championship we didn't have much luck in front of goal. This team
wants to grow, wants to win games and compete for everything. We're happy and want to keep making progress."
Real Madrid, meanwhile, played the game that had been deferred from Matchday 16 due to the World Club Cup.
Although Zidane's team beat Leganes 3-1 at the Butarque, the win did them little good,
as six days later they would lose to Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium.
There was a fierce battle going on for a place in the Europa League.
Although Sevilla hung on to fifth spot, they were beaten soundly by Atletico and Eibar.
Villarreal hit a slump managing just four points from a possible fifteen.
The Yellow Submarine ended the month by losing to Eibar, who were now only three points behind them.
Girona, who continued their brilliant form at the Montilivi, and Betis, had just one point less than the Basque side.
After their defeat of Celta, Machin's team had won five home game in a row and kept a clean sheet in all those outings.
The stand out team of LaLiga for February was without doubt, Deportivo Alaves,
who had been unstoppable since Abelardo arrived in the dugout.
After four wins in five games, The Babazorros were now clear of the danger zone.
"I think we're close to reaching our objective. We can't believe it, we can't change our mentality now and
we're close to our objective. We've got a really good cushion. What's more at this time in the season the teams on
the up tend to end well while the teams who are struggling don't. Hopefully, that's how things will work out for us."
There were few changes at the bottom of the table.
Las Palmas drew with Levante after beating Malaga and taking a point from Barcelona.
Deportivo, who had dismissed their coach Cristobal Parralo and replaced him with Clarence Seedorf, weren't far behind the Canarians.
The Dutch coach arrived at A Coruña with the tall order of saving the Galician team from relegation.
He didn't exactly start on the right foot, manging only one point from a possible twelve.
Malaga were unable to take advantage of Deportivo's slip-ups, and remained firmly rooted to the bottom of the table.
Barcelona continued to occupy the top spot in LaLiga, but their lead over Atletico Madrid had narrowed.
Only five points separated Barça from Los Colchoneros when the two teams met on the following Matchday.
Real Madrid although third were a long way behind the leaders and Valencia now held the final Champions League spot.
There were constant changes in the Europa League positions.
In contrast to the relegation zone which continued to be occupied by Las Palmas, Deportivo and Malaga.
