Matchday 4 has arrived in La Liga, with most teams in the Spanish top flight trying to find consistency.
One of those teams in need of a win will be Barcelona, a team that lost in their previous outing against a recently promoted team. Luis Enrique's men are shockingly ranked 5th after three weeks, and after such an appalling defeat, his men must step up and deliver against Leganés.
On the other hand, Barcelona's bitter-rivals Real Madrid will try to keep their perfect start of the season by beating Espanyol at RCDE Stadium. Los Blancos are searching to become the team with the largest winning streak in La Liga's history, something that Los Periquitos may be keen on avoiding.

Matchday 4: Social Media Buzz
This week's headlines were stolen by the two most famous footballers in the world. Cristiano Ronaldo's late equalizer in the UEFA Champions League gave Los Blancos a chance to bounce back in stoppage time, especially after noticing he was celebrating his 350th game with Real Madrid against his first professional club. The team's Twitter feed celebrated that milestone with a video.

After their 7-0 UCL performance against Celtic, Barcelona seems ready to bounce back in the domestic competition following a shocking 2-1 loss against Alavés. Lionel Messi's mid-week hat-trick raised fans' hopes of success against Leganés, a team that has never allowed a goal from "La Pulga".
