Atletico took control in this fixture, but not without some tension. The match opened with an own goal by Levante’s Adrian de la Fuente, giving Atletico the lead.

Levante responded through Manu Sanchez to level matters at the 21st minute. However, Atletico’s decision-making off the bench made the difference: a substitute, Antoine Griezmann, scored not one but two goals in the second half (61′, 80′) to seal the victory.

For Levante, the defensive frailties came to light again, while Atletico proved resilient enough to grind out the result.

Result: Atletico Madrid 3-1 Levante UD<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Villarreal produced a disciplined away performance, delivering when needed and managing the game smartly. They went ahead through Gerard Moreno just before halftime, and then doubled their lead early in the second half via Alberto Moleiro. Espanyol had spells of possession but lacked the end product; Villarreal’s defense absorbed the pressure, and their attack made the most of chances.

Villarreal’s win strengthens their push near the top of the table and enhances their credentials as a challenger. Espanyol, meanwhile, remains a club with potential, but this result shows how fine the margins are against a consistent side away from home.

Result: Espanyol 0-2 Villarreal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real Madrid were held to a surprising 0-0 draw by Rayo Vallecano, marking the first time this season that Real failed to score in a match. Despite maintaining their position at the top of the table with 31 points from 12 games, the result gives second-placed Villarreal and third-placed Barcelona a chance to narrow the gap.

This match turned into a defensive battle with Real Madrid unable to break down a resolute Rayo Vallecano side. Notably, Rayo became the first team this season to keep a clean sheet against Real Madrid.

Rayo Vallecano put in a resilient performance led by standout goalkeeper Augusto Batalla, who made multiple key saves. Meanwhile, Mbappe had little influence with only one shot on goal as Madrid’s attacking momentum dried up.

Result: Rayo Vallecano 0-0 Real Madrid<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barcelona produced an attacking flourish to claim the victory. Robert Lewandowski stole the show with a hat-trick ( 10′ penalty, 37′, 73′) and young Lamine Yamal added a goal just before half-time(45+4′). Celta fought back on two occasions through Carreira (11′) and Borja Iglesias (43′), but lacked the defensive cohesion and attacking quality that made the difference, even as they finished with ten men after Frenkie de Jong received a red card in stoppage time.

Result: Celta de Vigo 2-4 Barcelona<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
