LaLiga Overtime is back. After the seventh matchday, the top of the table has hardly suffered any variation with the victory of the big three. However, the ‘colchoneros’ continue to be the worst performers. Villarreal are back to winning ways with a stellar performance from Ayoze after the drubbing by FC Barcelona and Athletic Club are in fifth place.
In the relegation zone, Sevilla are back to winning ways and Valencia have a draw that takes them away from relegation. Valladolid, Getafe and Las Palmas occupy the relegation places. Luis Carrión‘s side are still without a win and Bordalás‘ side are still without a goal, having scored just three goals in the first seven games. Are they firm candidates for relegation?
LaLiga 24/25 Overtime – Match Day #7:
Lewandowski gives more points to FC Barcelona:
FC Barcelona have narrowly beaten a Getafe side who were very solid in defence. Flick‘s side had their least brilliant game, but generated plenty of chances, despite the short scoreline. Raphinha was more absent and Lamine Yamal left some good moves without being decisive in the match.
Bordalás‘ team played a very serious game. They were able to defend against the leader quite well and conceded only one goal. Getafe had their chances, especially with a very clear chance for Borja Mayoral in the final stretch, but the ‘Blue and Whites’ still have a serious problem with the goal.
Real Madrid remain unbeaten:
The ‘Merengue’ side showed their best performance so far this season, as they were already ahead in the first minute. Vinícius and Mbappé were again decisive in the result and the Brazilian is showing a better level than in the first few games. The game got interesting in the final minutes when Alavés got into the game with two goals in two minutes and there was a controversial action involving Endrick, who could have been sent off for a possible assault.
Alavés got into the game with a more relaxed Real Madrid who slowed down the pace they imposed in the first half. Rodrygo again scored a great goal, showing that he is also capable of bursting down the right flank, but the negative note of the game was undoubtedly Mbappé’s injury, as the Frenchman will miss Sunday’s Madrid derby.
Julián Álvarez rescues Atlético de Madrid at Balaídos:
RC Celta were superior to Atlético de Madrid for most of the game, but Giráldez’s side were unable to find the net and continue to lack punch at the back.
Simeone‘s side hardly had any chances until the final stretch, when the changes turned the dynamic of the game around. Atlético de Madrid won with an agonising goal from Julián Álvarez after a fantastic pass from Griezmann. Is this enough to compete for the title?
