Last Updated on Novembro 26, 2025 9:31 am by Erwin Noguera

The 13th matchday of the La Liga season has just concluded, and the competition at the top of the standings is becoming increasingly intense. The leading team has slowed down its pace, while the teams in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places are on strong winning streaks, closing the gap behind them. This creates a noticeable divide between these teams and the 5th-place team and those below.

Real Madrid played another match and surprised us by recording their second consecutive draw against an opponent that we did not expect to challenge them so fiercely. Meanwhile, Barcelona had a dominant performance, delivering a significant victory that became the highlight of the weekend. Villarreal and Atletico Madrid are also maintaining their winning streaks with consistent performances.

Currently, the leaders are only one point ahead of Barcelona, who now have 31 points. Villarreal sits at 29 points, while Atletico Madrid has 28 points. Notably, there is now a 7-point gap between the 4th-place team and the 5th, which is surprising considering we have just completed the first third of the season.

LaLiga Matchday 13 Results

LaLiga Matchday 13 Roundup: Barcelona x Athletic Club

Barcelona came out strong, quickly making their mark on the game. It only took them 4 minutes to score the first goal, and they maintained relentless pressure on Athletic throughout the match.

By halftime, the score was 2-0, with Ferran Torres finding the net during the first half. In the second half, Barcelona continued to dominate, scoring their third goal just 3 minutes after the break.

Things became even more challenging for Athletic when Oihab Sabcet received a red card, leaving his team with only 10 players on the field. The hosts capitalized on their momentum, with Torres scoring again in the 90th minute to bring the final score to 4-0.

Result: Barcelona 4-0 Athletic Club

LaLiga Matchday 13 Roundup: Villarreal vs. Mallorca

We anticipated the hosts would gradually take control of the match, which they did by maintaining most of the ball possession and becoming more active on offense.

However, the rapid-fire exchange of goals in the first 10 minutes caught everyone by surprise. It took Gerard Moreno just 6 minutes to score and open the scoring. Mallorca quickly responded, with Samu Costa equalizing just 2 minutes later. This back-and-forth action set the stage for an exciting clash.

As the match progressed, Villarreal intensified their pressure, pushing the visitors onto the back foot. However, there were no further goals until the 83rd minute, when Tani Oluwaseyi scored, putting Villarreal ahead and securing the 3 points.

Result: Villarreal 2-1 Mallorca

LaLiga Matchday 13 Roundup: Getafe vs. Atletico Madrid

It was surprising to see how the match unfolded, as we expected Athletic Bilbao to secure the win through relentless pressure over time. The game was quite contested for most of the match, with Athletic having a slight edge in stats, but not by much.

What was most surprising was that the victory did not come from a goal scored by the visitors; instead, it resulted from an own goal in the 82nd minute, causing the home team to lose the three points in this match.

Result: Getafe 0-1 Atletico Madrid

LaLiga Matchday 13 Roundup: Elche vs. Real Madrid

Real Madrid and Elche played to a 2-2 draw in a dramatic match that saw the underdog take the lead twice and the favorites dig deep for a late rescue.

At the Martinez Valero, Elche started stronger than expected. Midway through the second half, Aleix Febas broke the deadlock with a well-taken finish in the 53rd minute. Real Madrid struggled in the first half and failed to create clear-cut chances while Elche defended smartly and threatened on counters.

In the 78th minute, a header by Dean Huijsen leveled the match and gave hope to Madrid. But Elche struck again soon after: Alvaro Rodriguez restored the lead in the 84th minute with a composed strike, putting Madrid under real pressure.

As the clock ticked, Madrid ramped up urgency, pressed hard, and eventually found salvation when Jude Bellingham converted a set-piece header in the 87th minute.

This draw shakes up momentum as Elche showed fight and discipline while Madrid, despite dominating many stats, continues to struggle for control and consistency under pressure.

Result: Elche 2-2 Real Madrid
