Juventus' lead at the top of Serie A was cut to three points after they suffered a 2-1 defeat against Napoli.
Piotr Zielinski gave the hosts the lead from close range after his international team-mate Wojciech Szczesny pushed Lorenzo Insigne's long-range drive into his path.
Insigne then doubled his side's lead with a volley from Jose Callejon's shot, aided by a slight deflection off Matthijs de Ligt.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored in the 90th minute but it was not enough for Juve.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan's title challenge took another blow after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Cagliari in Serie A on Sunday.
Radja Nainggolan, on loan from Inter, came back to haunt his parent club with an equaliser 12 minutes from time to cancel out Lautaro Martinez's opener.
Third-place Lazio moved within two points of Inter following a 1-1 draw with Roma in the Rome derby.
Questionable goalkeeping contributed to the stalemate - a result that dents Lazio's league title hopes and left Roma hanging precariously onto the final Champions League spot.
Lazio goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha charged forward to grab a high ball but misjudged his timing, allowing Roma striker Edin Dzeko to score.
His counterpart Pau Lopez then nearly scored a bizarre own goal as his punch from a corner bounced back down onto the crossbar - but Francesco Acerbi fired in the rebound.
Lazio remain third after seeing their 11-match winning streak end but miss out on a chance to pull level with second-placed Inter.
Roma remain fourth, moving just one point ahead of Atalanta, who thrashed Torino 7-0 on Saturday.
Parma moved up to seventh after a 2-0 win over Udinese with goals from Riccardo Gagliolo and Dejan Kulusevski, whose rights were recently acquired by Juventus.
Hellas Verona are two points further back in ninth after a 3-0 victory over Lecce, with goals from Pawel Dawidowicz, Matteo Pessina and Giampaolo Pazzini. Sampdoria and Sassuolo drew 0-0.
Real Madrid moved above Barcelona into top spot in La Liga with Nacho's goal 12 minutes from time securing a 1-0 win over Real Valladolid.
Valladolid's resolve was finally broken as Nacho rose to head in Toni Kroos' cross. Zinedine Zidane's side moved three points ahead of Barcelona a day after the defending champions lost 2-0 at Valencia.
Meanwhile, Getafe moved above Atletico Madrid into fourth place after edging Real Betis 1-0 at home with a late penalty.
Substitute Angel Rodriguez converted the spot-kick in the 89th minute after Betis' Alex Moreno had handled the ball in the area.
Atletico were held to a 0-0 draw at home to relegation-threatened Leganes, extending their winless streak to four matches across all competitions.
Neymar was in a class of his own again on Sunday, scoring a double to help Paris Saint-Germain extend their Ligue 1 lead to 10 points with a 2-0 win at Lille.
Brazil forward Neymar found the back of the net either side of the interval with a sublime curled shot and a penalty to put PSG on 52 points from 21 games.
Second-placed Marseille were held to a goalless stalemate at home by Angers on Saturday.
Lille dropped down to seventh on 31 points.
Elsewhere, Nantes fans paid an emotional tribute to Emiliano Sala before Sunday's home game against Bordeaux, a year after the Argentine striker's death in a plane crash shook the footballing world.
A giant picture of Sala was displayed on the centre-circle before the French league game at Stade de la Beaujoire and footage of him playing in the traditional yellow and green of Nantes was shown on a giant screen.
After nine minutes of Sunday's game the crowd chanted Sala's name at length. Sala wore the No 9 shirt for Nantes with great pride, and the number has since been retired by the club.
Bordeaux won the game 1-0 with veteran forward Jimmy Briand scoring with a low volley from just inside the penalty area. Nantes had their Brazilian midfielder Andrei Girotto sent off early in the second half for a second yellow card. Nantes are in sixth place and Bordeaux sit 10th.
Elsewhere, Karl Toko Ekambi scored on his Lyon debut in a 3-0 home win against last-place Toulouse.
The Cameroon striker, who joined from Spanish side Villarreal completed the scoring in the 77th as Lyon maintained its unbeaten start to 2020.
Maxwell Cornet opened the scoring for Lyon in the 29th minute and striker Moussa Dembele added the second. Lyon, who reached the League Cup final on Tuesday, moved up to fifth spot.
