Hansi Flick’s FC Barcelona<\/strong> closed matchday 1 of LaLiga EA Sports 2025\/26<\/strong> as the sole leader, maintaining the position it held for most of last season.<\/p>

Despite Real Madrid’s victory against Osasuna (1-0)<\/a>, the ‘cul\u00e9s’ retain the lead at the start of the season due to a better goal difference. The ‘merengues’ won by the narrowest of margins thanks to a penalty from Kylian Mbapp\u00e9.<\/p>

In total, eight of the 20 LaLiga teams started the 25\/26 season by adding all three points. ‘Casa Blanca’, however, occupies the eighth position<\/strong>, being the team that obtained the smallest difference and number of goals in favor on the day.<\/p>

The thrashing in Mallorca made Bar\u00e7a the leader<\/h2>

Raphinha, Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal<\/strong> scored the goals for a Bar\u00e7a that played with two more players from the 39th minute, thanks to the expulsions of Manu Morlanes and Vedat Muriqi. <\/p>

The Brazilian’s goal came in the 7th minute, while the ‘Shark’ extended the lead in the 23rd minute, with controversy included<\/a>. Towards the end, in the fourth minute of added time, Lamine closed the scoring with a bombshell from outside the area.<\/p>

Atl\u00e9tico, a big disappointment of the first matchday<\/h2>
\"Atl\u00e9tico
Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid players lament the defeat against Espanyol (2-1)<\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

The matchday started on Friday with Girona’s<\/strong> defeat at home against Rayo (1-3)<\/strong> and Villarreal’s<\/strong> victory at home against the newly promoted Real Oviedo (2-0)<\/strong>.<\/p>

On Saturday, in addition to Bar\u00e7a’s victory, Alav\u00e9s<\/strong> also added the three points, at home against the ‘cul\u00e9s’ next rival, Levante (2-1)<\/strong>. Valencia and Real Sociedad<\/strong>, meanwhile, drew at Mestalla (1-1).<\/p>

Already on Sunday, there were victories for Getafe, Athletic and Espanyol<\/strong>, with which a total of seven teams add 3 points, with a better goal difference for Barcelona (+3).<\/p>

Espanyol’s victory, without a doubt, was the big surprise so far of the opening day. The ‘pericos’ came back against Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid in Cornell\u00e0 (2-1)<\/strong> with goals from Miguel Rubio and Pere Milla. Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez, with a free kick, had put the ‘colchoneros’ ahead before the break.<\/p>

‘Aleti’ has spent 175 million euros on signings this summer<\/strong>, with up to nine incorporations. However, Diego Simeone’s team fails to take off and debuted with a tough fall on Catalan soil.<\/p>

Athletic, meanwhile, struggled to defeat Sevilla at San Mam\u00e9s (3-2)<\/strong>. The ‘hispalenses’ came back from the initial goals of Nico Williams (from a penalty) and Sannadi through Lukebakio and Agoum\u00e9. However, Robert Navarro, nine minutes from the end, gave the victory to Ernesto Valverde’s team.<\/p>

In Vigo, Celta was also surprised by Getafe<\/strong>. Javier Bordal\u00e1s’ team took the victory thanks to goals from Liso and Uche. The matchday continued on Monday with the draw between Elche and <\/strong>Betis (1-1)<\/strong> and concluded with Madrid’s triumph at home against Osasuna (1-0)<\/strong>.<\/p>
