La Liga Roundup, Matchday 7
Matchday 7 of the 2025/26 La Liga season has concluded, featuring exciting matches, impressive performances from players, and surprising outcomes. Here is the La Liga roundup for this round of games.
Girona 0-0 Espanyol
Girona remained at the bottom of La Liga, as their search for a first victory this season continues following a 0-0 draw with the in-form Espanyol at the Estadio Municipal de Montilivi, marking the first goalless draw of the entire La Liga season. Espanyol have now recorded consecutive draws for the first time since December 2024, while Girona achieved their first clean sheet of the campaign.
Getafe 1-1 Levante
Getafe CF continued their impressive start to the La Liga season by rallying to earn a 1-1 draw against Levante UD at Estadio Coliseum. The Azulones are aiming for their first top-half finish since the 2019/20 season. Although Getafe will be disappointed not to have claimed all three points in the second half, they will be very satisfied with their current league standing, sitting 8th after seven games.
Atletico Madrid 5-2 Real Madrid
Real Madrid’s initial streak of seven consecutive wins across all competitions in the 2025/26 season was abruptly halted as they lost 5-2 to Atlético Madrid at the Metropolitano. This outcome could provide a much-needed lift for Atlético’s challenging season, whiles Real Madrid now drop to second place after being overtaken by Barcelona after suffering only their second defeat in nine La Liga away games.
Mallorca 1-0 Alaves
Takuma Asano’s goal in the first half was sufficient to secure RCD Mallorca’s first victory of the season in their home game against Deportivo Alavés. The 1-0 result keeps Mallorca unbeaten in their La Liga head-to-head encounters with Alavés (7 wins, 4 draws). Despite earning their first win and a clean sheet, the hosts remain in the relegation zone due to goal difference, while Alavés are 11th place for now.
Villarreal 1-0 Athletic Bilbao
Villarreal continued their streak of consecutive La Liga victories at Estadio de la Cerámica, reaching eight wins in a row by defeating Athletic Bilbao 1-0. The visitors were unable to respond, extending their winless streak in the league to four matches. With this win, Villarreal climbed to third place.
Rayo Vallecano 0-1 Sevilla
Akor Adams netted his first goal for Sevilla, securing a 1-0 win against Rayo Vallecano by converting their only shot on target. This result extends Sevilla’s unbeaten streak against Rayo to six matches (three wins, three draws). It marks Sevilla’s third consecutive away league victory, moving them into the top half of the table. Meanwhile, Rayo suffered another late setback, damaging their morale ahead of their UEFA Conference League debut this week.
Elche 2-1 Celta Vigo
Elche extended their impressive unbeaten run in La Liga by defeating Celta Vigo 2-1 at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero. This victory ended a three-game losing streak against Celta and propelled the newly promoted team into the top four. Elche are performing exceptionally well near the top of the table and have now gone eight consecutive home league matches without a loss, continuing to surpass all pre-season predictions.
Barcelona 2-1 Real Sociedad
Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski combined for the third time in six La Liga matches, aiding Barcelona in a comeback to beat Real Sociedad 2-1 at the Estadi Lluís Companys. Although playing away from their regular home ground, Barcelona have now won 10 of their last 12 games at the Estadi Lluís Companys and handed Real Sociedad their sixth loss in seven La Liga away fixtures. Furthermore, Barcelona have achieved 27 victories in their last 28 home league encounters against Sociedad.
Betis 2-0 Osasuna
Cucho Hernández contributed both a goal and an assist to help Real Betis secure a commanding 2-0 victory against Osasuna at the Estadio de La Cartuja. This result extended Osasuna’s winless streak to seven consecutive away games. Betis have now gone five straight seasons without losing in this matchup and have won consecutive home La Liga games for the first time since March.
Valencia 1-2 Oviedo
Real Oviedo made an incredible late comeback, netting two goals within two minutes to secure a 2-1 win against Valencia at the Mestalla. This marked their first away victory against Valencia since 1988. Although Ilić was sent off for a late foul during stoppage time, Oviedo managed to maintain their lead, moving out of the relegation zone with their second win in seven games since being promoted. Meanwhile, Valencia suffered only their third home league loss in 14 matches.
