On Saturday, the battles of the 3rd round continue in the Spanish "La Liga" championship.
The first match took place in the city of Vigo, where the hosts, Celta players, fought against Madrid's Atletico. Diego Simeone's pupils did not intend to lose points here for the second time and crushed their opponents with a score of 0-4.
The scorers in the winners' ranks were Koke, Andrea Correa, and Antoine Griezmann, who scored twice. Interestingly, all four goals were scored in the second half.
In the next match, Real Madrid fought against Osasuna from Pamplona at their stadium. The "white" team did not have major difficulties, but after scoring five goals, they relaxed and allowed the hosts to reduce the score to 5-2.
Returning to the field after a long break, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the first goal of the season in the 6th minute. Later, Danilo, Sergio Ramos, Pepe, and Luka Modric were accurate in the ranks of Real.
In the opponents' ranks, Oriol Riera had the opportunity to convert a penalty in the 72nd minute, but Kiko Casilla reacted to the opponent's shot.
An unexpected result was recorded at the "Camp Nou" fortress. Barcelona players, without their attacking stars Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, started the match against the league newcomer Deportivo Alaves with a result of 1-2.
The first goal of the match came in the 39th minute when Deyverson put the visitors ahead after a great assist from Kiko. However, at the start of the second half, Jeremy Mathieu managed to equalize the score.
It seemed like the Catalans had the opportunity to change the outcome of the match, but in the 64th minute, Ibai once again put Alaves ahead. Throughout the rest of the time, Barcelona tried to change the outcome of the match, but neither Messi nor Suarez's efforts were enough, and Barcelona suffered their first defeat.
After the Catalans' defeat, Real Madrid became the sole leader of the league with 9 points. They have a 2-point advantage over their closest pursuers from Seville.
