La Liga Round Summary: Barca Thrash Leader with Seven Goals; Mbappe Scores Twice to Help Real Madrid Win

On September 2nd, all matches of the 4th round of the 2024-25 La Liga season were completed. Out of ten matches in this round, only two ended in a draw, with the remaining games having clear winners. Barcelona achieved a remarkable 7-goal victory at home against Valladolid despite being short-handed, leading the league with four consecutive wins. Real Madrid won 2-0 against Betis, with Mbappe finally breaking his goal drought and scoring twice.

A Total of 25 Goals Scored This Round, Barcelona Accounted for Seven

In the third round of La Liga, data shows that a total of 25 goals were scored across all ten matches, with an average of 2.5 goals per game. Barcelona’s 7-0 victory over Valladolid was particularly noteworthy, marking another 7+ goal feast in this season’s La Liga.

Following their 0-3 home defeat to Real Madrid, La Liga newcomers Valladolid’s defense suffered another heavy blow. The coach apologized to the fans after the match and took responsibility, acknowledging the high level of Flick’s Barcelona team, its fast-paced attack, and penetrating power.

Barcelona Leads the League with Four Consecutive Wins; Sevilla Struggles

In Barcelona’s home match against Valladolid, Rafinha scored a hat-trick, with multiple attackers contributing to the scoreline. Lewandowski, Olmo, and Ferran Torres all found the net. After conceding goals in previous matches, Barcelona’s defense finally kept a clean sheet. The big win at home significantly boosted morale, and it is expected that after the international break, with some players returning from injuries, Barcelona will continue its impressive form.

Meanwhile, Sevilla, a strong La Liga team, lost 0-2 at home to Girona and has fallen into the relegation zone. As the former “Europa League King,” Sevilla’s competitive level has declined dramatically over the past two seasons. With the departure of key striker En-Nesyri, the team faces offensive challenges. The coach is also experiencing a seventeen-game winless streak across seasons, just one shy of the worst record in La Liga, and Sevilla desperately needs solutions.

Both Madrid Teams Secure Wins with Clean Sheets; Mbappe Breaks Drought with Two Goals

In this round, Real Madrid defeated Real Betis 2-0 at home. Mbappe finally broke his goal-scoring drought, scoring his first La Liga goal, and Vinicius gave up a penalty, allowing Mbappe to complete a brace from the spot. In previous rounds, Vinicius often chose not to pass, but now the two star forwards are showing a harmonious side, promising more cooperation in the future.

Atlético Madrid secured a narrow 1-0 away win against Athletic Bilbao. The highly anticipated summer transfer window’s top signing, Alvarez, still hasn’t scored, and Atlético had to rely on a stoppage-time winner to claim three points. Including “Spider,” new signings like Solloch, Gallagher, and others still need time to integrate into the team.

On September 14th, the 5th round of La Liga will resume, with Leisu Sports continuing to bring you live video broadcasts.
