  • Real Madrid were the only team to win all nine available points after three LaLiga EA Sports matches, while Barcelona had a chance to match that record against Rayo Vallecano.
  • Six teams remained winless and six remained unbeaten after three rounds.
  • The round also featured Racing Santander’s first top-flight win since 2012, Real Sociedad’s return to home victory, Levante’s rare five-goal league performance and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scoring in each match.

Real Madrid stood alone at the top of LaLiga EA Sports after three rounds, having beaten Málaga 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu for a perfect nine points. Barcelona could join them by defeating Rayo Vallecano on Monday.

Six teams had yet to win: Villarreal, Elche, Málaga, Valencia, Celta and Rayo Vallecano. Six others remained unbeaten: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, Alavés, Deportivo de La Coruña and Osasuna, which was due to play Getafe.

Álex Baena scored twice in Atlético’s 3-1 win at Sevilla, adding to his goal against Málaga in the opening round. He had already scored one more goal in three matches this season than he managed in 46 appearances during his first Atlético campaign in 2025-26.

Racing Santander ended a long wait for a top-flight victory by beating Elche 3-2. Its previous league win had come on Jan. 15, 2012, while its last home victory in the division dated to Jan. 7 that year. Real Sociedad also returned to winning at home, beating Espanyol 2-1 after going without a home league win since April 4.

Levante scored five goals in a top-flight match for only the third time, beating Betis 5-2. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored for Deportivo in every round so far, while Athletic Club recovered from two opening defeats to beat Celta 2-0.
