Barcelona remained on course to retaining its Spanish league title with a 6-0 rout of Getafe on Saturday, while English champion Chelsea's season went from bad to worse with Diego Costa seeing red after a biting incident as Guus Hiddink's team exited the FA Cup. Manchester City doesn't look like it will be succeeding Chelsea as Premier League champions after being held 0-0 at relegation-threatened Norwich and Marseille's miserable season in France also continued. Elsewhere, Thomas Mueller scored twice as Bayern Munich warmed up for Juventus in the Champions League by easing to a 5-0 rout of Werder Bremen, and Inter Milan won to maintain its dream of a return to the Champions League.
