Top games to watch
Spain's Big Three will all be involved in tricky tests this weekend, starting with Real Madrid, who visit Real Sociedad this Saturday in one of the standout fixtures of Matchday 5. Los Blancos are currently second in the table after four games but neither the reigning champions nor the home side have begun the season well.
Ancelotti's men have won only two of their opening four fixtures, drawing at Mallorca in their opening game before dropping an additional two points in their next away match. Kylian Mbappe scored his first La Liga goal right before the break but the UEFA Champions League holders have not yet clicked. La Real, on the flip side, boast only one win in four so far and will need a victory against Real Madrid to climb out of 14th.
The Catalan derby is upon us! Current leaders Barcelona prepare to visit Girona this Sunday as two of the most in-form teams battle for bragging rights and the three points. The Blaugrana are the only La Liga side with a perfect record, winning four out of four so far, and will aim for revenge after losing both home and away to Les Blanc-i-vermells last season.
The hosts, on the other side, started the season on a rough patch, drawing their opening game against Real Betis before losing 3-0 at Atletico Madrid. However, Míchel's side entered the international break having won back-to-back matches, beating Osasuna 4-0 before winning 2-0 at Sevilla right before the break. Can Girona beat the Catalan giants for a third straight time? Tune in to find out.
The final game of the weekend — though not this round — sees Atletico Madrid host Valencia as Diego Simeone's men look to close in on leaders Barcelona should the latter slip up at Girona. Los Rojiblancos are currently tied on points with Real Madrid but sit third in the table due to an inferior goal difference. Regardless, Griezmann and Co. are the overwhelming favorites to triumph, having won twice this season already — Atletico are unbeaten in La Liga overall.
Valencia, on the other hand, are bottom of the table, boasting only one point to their name after losing all but one of their first four games. That stalemate came right before the September international break, with Rubén Baraja's side drawing 1-1 with 10-man Villarreal. Can the visitors pull off an upset at the Metropolitano Stadium? Don't miss this clash.
