Barcelona were undoubtedly the biggest winners of the weekend after producing a dominant performance against Deportivo Alavés. The result was particularly important for Barcelona as the season enters another competitive stage.

Yan Diomande completed the scoring, giving Madrid a comfortable three-goal victory. The performance was another important step for the Spanish giants as they attempt to close the gap on Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Madrid’s victory takes their points tally to 27 after 11 matches, leaving them third in the standings, just three points behind Barcelona. With the quality available in their squad, Madrid will be looking to maintain their winning momentum and take advantage of any opportunity to move closer to the summit.

Atletico Madrid also had a successful weekend, recording a 2-0 away victory against Levante. Atletico collected all three points to move to 28 points from 11 matches, maintaining second place in the standings. Their defensive record has also been impressive, having conceded just eight goals in their opening 11 league matches.

Diego Simeone’s side will be determined to remain within touching distance of Barcelona as the competition continues. The weekend’s results have provided another reminder of how competitive the La Liga title race could become this season.
