La Liga Roundup, Matchday 10
Matchday 10 of the 2025/26 La Liga season has come to an end, showcasing thrilling games, outstanding player performances, and unexpected results. Here is the La Liga roundup for this round of games.
Real Sociedad 2-1 Sevilla
Real Sociedad broke their three-match winless streak in La Liga by defeating Sevilla 2-1 at the Reale Arena. Sevilla fell to 11th place, while the spirited Sociedad moved up from the relegation zone to 17th. La Real is hopeful that this win will mark a turning point in their otherwise disappointing season so far.
Girona 3-3 Oviedo
David Carmo’s goal in the seventh minute of added time secured Real Oviedo a draw in an exhilarating 3-3 match against Girona, marking an unforgettable first-ever top-tier encounter between the two teams. Although Carrión is yet to achieve his first La Liga victory as a manager, he managed to halt the losing streak, having been defeated in all three of his previous away games against Girona.
Espanyol 1-0 Elche
In a surprising result, Espanyol moved up to fifth place in La Liga by defeating Elche 1-0 at the RCDE Stadium, marking Elche’s third consecutive match without a win. Elche failed to level the score and suffered only their second loss since rejoining La Liga, placing them 8th and just outside the European qualification spots.
Athletic Bilbao 0-1 Getafe
Getafe defeated Athletic Bilbao 1-0 in their La Liga match on Saturday night, marking their first victory over Los Leones in 11 tries. This defeat is only Athletic’s fourth loss at San Mamés in their last 43 matches (with 26 wins and 13 draws), while Getafe secured their first win in seven games in Spain’s top division.
Valencia 0-2 Villarreal
Villarreal captain Gerard Moreno became the fourth player to score in each of the last 12 La Liga seasons after converting a penalty in a 2-0 victory over his club’s regional rivals Valencia, marking Villarreal’s first away win in this head-to-head matchup since December 2017. While Corberán may face scrutiny, former Valencia coach Marcelino will be pleased to see his team sitting in third place.
Mallorca 1-1 Levante
Mallorca grabbed a late equalizer, with the Pirates managing a 1-1 draw against Levante UD, extending their unbeaten home streak to four matches (1 win, 3 draws). Although Levante will be relieved to avoid defeat, they have only won once in their last six games (3 draws, 2 losses).
Real Madrid 2-1 Barcelona
Real Madrid won an exciting El Clásico, defeating Barcelona 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu and extending their lead at the top of the La Liga table to five points. This result means Real Madrid has suffered only one defeat this season, with Xabi Alonso becoming just the second Real manager in the past eight to avoid losing his first league game against Barcelona. Real’s ninth straight home league win is their longest streak in more than a decade and maintains Barcelona five points behind them.
Osasuna 2-3 Celta Vigo
Celta Vigo secured their first La Liga victory of the season when Pablo Durán scored a decisive goal in the 88th minute, clinching a thrilling 3-2 triumph over Osasuna. This result marked Osasuna’s first home loss of the season and left Ante Budimir regretting a crucial missed penalty. The win lifts Celta Vigo to 13th place with 10 points, equal to Osasuna, who sit 14th. The visitors will be hoping this success sparks momentum for their season.
Rayo Vallecano 1-0 Alaves
Rayo Vallecano climbed to seventh place in La Liga thanks to a last-minute header from Alemão, which secured a hard-earned 1-0 win against Deportivo Alavés. This victory ended Los Franjirrojos’ five-game winless streak at home in the league and marked the first time in their history that they have achieved three consecutive head-to-head wins over Alavés.
Betis 0-2 Atletico Madrid
Real Betis’ streak of eight games without a loss in all competitions (4 wins, 4 draws) ended as they were defeated 2-0 by Atlético Madrid, who are also aiming for UEFA Champions League qualification. Led by José María Giménez, Atlético moved up to fourth place, surpassing Espanyol, thanks to their first away victory of the season.
