There are two games left in Matchday 2 of the Spanish top flight, but both Barcelona and Real Madrid have reasons to celebrate after their games.

The second week of games in La Liga is not over yet, but there are some talking points that emerged from the matches that took place from Friday to Sunday.

Barcelona and Real Madrid won their games, and they had different ways to do it. Los Blaugranas struggled against Valladolid -and their horrendous pitch- but ended up claiming three points. Ousmane Dembele was one of the team's reference points despite a complicated first half, especially when he scored the game-winning goal for Valverde's men.

Dembele's performance came in handy for Barcelona, especially since their main threat was well-guarded by Valladolid's defenders.

Speaking about their bitter rival, Real Madrid managed to walk away from Montilivi Stadium with their first-ever win there. During that match, Ramos' "Panenka" penalty earned the Spanish footballer one record only accomplished by Lionel Messi.

If that wasn't enough reason to celebrate, the one and only Gareth Bale has established himself as Real Madrid's attacking reference. Will he be able to fill Cristiano Ronaldo's shoes?

Here's how La Liga's standings look like after 18 games.
