LaLiga will have its third Matchday starting this Friday and we will have a great duel in addition to the always favorites Real Madrid and Barcelona playing their games.
Real Madrid, which has a perfect run, will expose its record when they visit Espanyol, who have not yet won.
For its part, Barcelona has already won, in a big way, and Lewandowski scored, so the fans are excited that this year the situation may be different. The next rival will be Real Valladolid.
Villarreal is the leader of the tournament after a devastating start and hopes to continue that way when they visit Getafe.
The most attractive match will be that of Valencia and Atlético Madrid, which will close the Matchday at the Mestalla stadium on Monday to break the equality in points they have.

Real Madrid started the defense of its title with the right foot and defeated Almería (1-2) and Celta (1-4) away, showing that it will once again be fighting at the top. Among the curiosities is that the 6 goals have been scored by different players and that little by little the magical trident of Casemiro, Toni Kross, and Luka Modric is being replaced.
Espanyol, for its part, equalized in its first match with Celta by 2-2 thanks to a goal by Joselu from a penalty kick at minute 90+8 and then lost at home to Rayo Vallecano (0-2). The defender Sergi Gómez received a red card and will not be this weekend.

Barcelona was able to win its first game last weekend where Robert Lewandowski stood out with a double and an assist to a great Ansu Fati, who also scored and provided two assists. The result and the game excite the fans who once again believe in the team.
Real Valladolid was thrashed at home in their first game against Villarreal (0-3) and managed to draw their visit against Sevilla (1-1). Without a doubt, it is a very difficult start for a team that will be fighting not to be relegated and will surely seek to approach similar to that of Rayo Vallecano in search of achieving a point at Camp Nou.

Villarreal has surprised everyone with a devastating start in LaLiga. The Yellow Submarine, who finished seventh last year, wants this time to fight for a place in the Champions League and they have started very well, beating Real Valladolid (0-3) and Atlético Madrid (0-2). In addition, in the qualifying round of the Conference League, they beat Hajduk Split 4-2.
Getafe is last after two tough defeats, the first at home against Atlético Madrid (0-3) and the second on their visit to Girona (3-1), one of their direct rivals in the relegation fight. Fabrizio Angileri, who was one of the reinforcements for this season, received a red card in the last game and will not be against Villarreal.

Gennaro Gattuso’s Valencia managed to win on their debut with a tight 1-0 against Girona. However, on their visit to Athletic Bilbao, they fell by the same scoreline. One of the bad news for the ‘Che’ team is that their striker, Hugo Duro, left on crutches last game after leaving with an injury after 17 minutes and will surely be out for a while. This would speed up the board’s decision to bring in Edinson Cavani, but the Uruguayan is also very interested in Villarreal and it would be resolved in the next few days. For his part, the striker is already in Spain.
Atlético Madrid was surprised in the last game by Villarreal, who beat them 0-2 at the Wanda Metropolitano and gave them their first defeat, after having beaten Getafe (0-3) away. Álvaro Morata returned after his time at Juventus and did so with a brace in the first game while Nahuel Molina, another of the reinforcements, was sent off and will not be on Monday.
