The latest round of LaLiga EA Sports fixtures delivered some of the most exciting football we’ve seen this season.
From record-breaking unbeaten runs to unfortunate injuries, the week was full of pivotal moments that could shape the rest of the campaign.
Whether it’s the relentless form of FC Barcelona or Real Madrid making their case for dominance, there’s plenty to dissect.
1. Barcelona Lead the Scoring Charts with a Relentless Attack
FC Barcelona is on fire, and their attack is leading the way across Europe’s top five leagues. The Catalans have started the season with six wins from six matches, and their latest victory—a commanding 5-1 win over Villarreal CF—showcases their lethal attacking force.
With an incredible 22 goals scored so far this season, Barcelona has outscored every other team in the major European leagues.
For context, PSG, the second-highest scoring team, has netted only 17 goals. Barcelona’s Xavi-led side has been a joy to watch, blending youth and experience to devastating effect. The likes of Robert Lewandowski and rising star Lamine Yamal have been clinical in front of goal, making Barcelona the team to watch.

2. Ter Stegen’s Injury Dampens Spirits
While Barcelona’s attack is flourishing, their defense took a significant hit this week with the injury to their captain and star goalkeeper, Marc-André ter Stegen.
The German shot-stopper picked up a serious injury during their win over Villarreal, a blow that could affect Barcelona’s momentum in the coming weeks.
Ter Stegen’s consistency and leadership have been crucial for Barcelona, and his absence will undoubtedly be felt as they aim to maintain their position at the top of LaLiga EA Sports.
With crucial fixtures ahead, the pressure is on for Barcelona’s backup goalkeepers to step up in his absence. Fans and teammates alike have already sent their support, but there’s no denying that this injury creates a gap that may be hard to fill.
3. Real Madrid’s Attack Finally Fires
Over at Real Madrid, things are starting to click. After a few shaky matches to start the season, their attack came to life in their 4-1 victory over RCD Espanyol. The attacking trio of Rodrygo, Vinícius, and Kylian Mbappé seems to be gelling perfectly, and their individual brilliance is turning into cohesive team performances.
This resurgence couldn’t have come at a better time for Madrid, who are now sitting comfortably in second place, just four points behind leaders Barcelona.
Their attack was relentless, and the comeback against Espanyol highlighted Madrid’s ability to turn things around under pressure. Fans will be hopeful that this is just the beginning of an exciting partnership between the star forwards.
4. Real Madrid Extends Their Unbeaten Streak to 38 Games
Real Madrid’s victory over Espanyol didn’t just boost their place in the standings—it also extended their unbeaten streak in LaLiga EA Sports to an impressive 38 matches.
This feat is a testament to the team’s consistency, having not lost a single domestic match since Matchday 6 of last season.
Los Blancos are now eyeing the all-time LaLiga unbeaten record of 43 matches, currently held by FC Barcelona.
If Real Madrid can maintain their form, it won’t be long before they break this incredible record, further cementing their place among the most dominant teams in European football.
5. Athletic Club’s Winning Streak Continues
Athletic Club is quietly becoming one of the most in-form teams in LaLiga EA Sports. After a tough start to the season, the Basque side has found their rhythm, securing three consecutive wins.
Their latest victories over UD Las Palmas, CD Leganés, and RC Celta have propelled them into third place in the standings.
Athletic’s defensive solidity and timely goalscoring have been key to their resurgence, and the squad looks confident as they aim for a top-four finish this season. With momentum on their side, they could be one of the surprise packages of the season if they continue to build on their current form.
6. Valencia CF Finally Breaks Winless Streak
It has been a frustrating start to the season for Valencia CF, but this week brought relief as they finally secured their first win of the campaign.
A 2-0 victory over Girona FC marked a turning point for Rubén Baraja’s men, who had been struggling to find their footing in the opening matches.
Goals from Luis Rioja and Dani Gómez delivered the much-needed three points, and Valencia will now be looking to build on this result to climb higher up the table. The team has struggled with inconsistency in recent seasons, but this victory could be the spark they need to find form and start climbing the standings.
