Led by two goals from Julián Álvarez, Atleti put together a brilliant performance to win 5-2, scoring five times against Real Madrid for the first time since 1950.
Julián Álvarez climbs up the scoring charts
By scoring two goals against Real Madrid and also three in a midweek win over Rayo Vallecano, Julián Álvarez has shot up the LALIGA EA SPORTS goalscoring charts. He now has six league goals this campaign, placing him second and only behind the eight goals of Kylian Mbappé.
FC Barcelona go top of the table
Defending champions FC Barcelona were able to capitalise on Real Madrid’s defeat, going top of the table courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad. Lamine Yamal returned from injury to set up a Robert Lewandowski winner in the second half.
Villarreal CF keep up their strong start to the season
In a battle of two Champions League teams, Villarreal CF came out on top against Athletic Club. Alberto Moleiro scored the only goal of the game for a 1-0 victory at the Estadio de la Cerámica. Those three points put Villarreal CF third in the table, with 16 points from their first seven fixtures of the campaign.
Elche CF’s unbeaten run continues
Just behind in fourth place sit Elche CF, who continued their excellent start to the season with a 2-1 victory at home to RC Celta. The newly promoted side remain unbeaten, something only they and FC Barcelona can say in LALIGA EA SPORTS.
A first win of the season for RCD Mallorca
Takuma Asano scored the only goal in a 1-0 RCD Mallorca victory over Deportivo Alavés, earning the islanders their first win of the season. That means there is now just one winless team left in the division, which is Girona FC.
Sevilla FC are clicking on the road
Matías Almeyda’s Sevilla FC defeated Rayo Vallecano 1-0 on the road, with Akor Adams scoring the only goal of the game. It’s their third win of the season and, curiously, all three have come away from home. Only FC Barcelona have picked up more road points than the Andalusians.

They may have gone top of the table, but there was also some bad news for FC Barcelona this week, as two of their key players suffered knee injuries requiring surgery. Goalkeeper Joan García and midfielder Gavi will both miss some time after going under the knife.
