Los Hispalenses are the top-ranked team in the Spanish Primera División, in what has turned out to be one of the most competitive leagues of all time.

The Spanish top flight has surpassed the first third of the competition, and it couldn't be more compelling. The dominance established by Barcelona and Real Madrid seems to be over, as Sevilla is once again at the top of the league.

Machín's side has made it past Los Blaugranas thanks to their 1-0 win against Valladolid on Sunday. Barcelona's draw against Atlético saw them lose the first place, making the title race even tighter since Los Colchoneros are one point behind Ernesto Valverde's men.

Real Madrid ended a complicated weekend with a 3-0 loss against Eibar. Los Blancos had to endure harsh attacks for allegedly covering up a doping charge pinned on Sergio Ramos. The cherry on top was their fifth loss of the season, just weeks after confirming Santiago Solari as their boss for the rest of the season.

Here's how La Liga's standings look like after 13 games.

Pichichi race

Christian Stuani seems uninterested in scoring when Lionel Messi is around, and he decided to break the tie between "La Pulga" and Luis Suárez to claim the top spot as the best striker in La Liga.

Stats

As we mentioned above, this has proven to be quite a competitive La Liga season. Sevilla, always considered a contender, seems to be making the most out of this situation, even if they haven't won as many points as their predecessors up to this point.

Real Madrid's woes continued on Saturday, as they were not able to keep their historical dominance over Eibar.

Ousmane Dembelé keeps defending his spot at Barcelona, even if he's been involved in some major controversies. How? By scoring goals, nonetheless!
