LaLiga Matchday 15 Roundup: Villarreal vs. Getafe

Villarreal kept their upward surge alive with a composed and intelligent performance. The first half unfolded slowly, with Getafe defending compactly and limiting space, but the hosts steadily increased their pressure. Their reward came at the perfect moment: a breakthrough in the 6th minute of stoppage time, sending them into halftime with full control.

Getafe’s hopes faded almost instantly in the second half. Luis Milla’s expulsion only two minutes after the restart left the visitors outnumbered, and Villarreal wasted no time capitalizing. They doubled their lead in the 64th minute, a strike that sealed the match and allowed them to manage the closing stages with confidence.

This win pushes Villarreal into the heart of the title-chase conversation and highlights the consistency that has fueled their recent streak.

Result: Villarreal 2-0 Getafe

LaLiga Matchday 15 Roundup: Real Betis vs. Barcelona

Barcelona extended their superb form with one of the season’s most entertaining matches. The game exploded from the opening whistle. Betis struck first in the 6th minute, but the visitors immediately turned the scoreboard upside down. Ferran Torres delivered two goals in two minutes, scoring in the 11th and 13th minutes to give Barça the lead.

Roony Bardghji added a third in the 31st, and Ferran completed his hat-trick in the 40th, pushing Barcelona into halftime with a 1–4 advantage and total command. Betis responded with pride in the second half, converting a penalty in the 59th minute and later scoring again in the 85th. They earned one more penalty in stoppage time, closing the gap but never threatening to erase the deficit completely.

Barcelona’s attack looked ruthless, dynamic, and relentless—exactly the formula that has put them at the top of the table.

Result: Real Betis 3-5 Barcelona

LaLiga Matchday 15 Roundup: Athletic Club vs. Atlético Madrid

San Mamés delivered another intense, tactical showdown, one where margins stayed razor-thin until the dying minutes. Athletic and Atlético mirrored each other statistically, finishing with the same number of total shots and only a slight difference in attempts on target. Atlético held a bit more possession, but Athletic showed more clarity and intention in the final third.

The breakthrough came late, in the 85th minute, when Athletic finally found the narrow opening they had been chasing. With that strike, they secured a vital win that pushes them closer to the European conversation and drops Atlético further from the top-three spots.

Result: Athletic Club 1 – 0 Atlético Madrid

LaLiga Matchday 15 Roundup: Real Madrid vs. Celta

Nothing this weekend compared to the astonishing scenes at the Bernabéu. Real Madrid dominated the match statistically—62% possession, more than double the shots, and extended stretches of pressure—yet everything unraveled after halftime.

Celta stunned the crowd in the 54th minute, scoring the opener that destabilized a Madrid side that suddenly lost control of the moment. Only ten minutes later, Fran García received a red card, leaving Los Blancos exposed. The frustration deepened at the end of regulation, when Endrick was sent off in the 90th minute. Moments later, Álvaro Carreras earned a third red card in stoppage time, reducing Madrid to eight men.

Celta struck once more in the 93rd minute, sealing one of the biggest upsets of the season and handing Real Madrid a defeat that could have major implications in the title race.

Result: Real Madrid 0-2 Celta
