Los Blaugranas earned a second straight come-from-behind win this weekend, even if Lionel Messi didn't have a direct hand in the outcome of the game.

So, what else is new in La Liga after four games? Barcelona had to come back from a 1-0 score at halftime to claim their fourth win of the season. But contrary to what happened in the previous weeks, Ernesto Valverde's team is all alone at the top, as Real Madrid failed to beat Athletic Club at San Mamés.

The Blaugrana giants have received some help from some footballers that seemed to have their fates sealed at Camp Nou, especially Ousmane Dembele. The French star is showing why Los Blaugranas splashed cash last summer to bring him to Spain, and even if some believed that his time was up, he's put up some classy performances this season.

While Los Blaugranas are off to a scintillating start of the season, their two biggest rivals in their attempt to win back-to-back La Liga titles -again- are Real Madrid and Atlético. While Los Merengues are still in contention, it seems like Atlético's players are a bit tired of Simeone's ways, and their massive investment before the beginning of the season is yet to pay off.

Pichichi race

The two top goalscorers in La Liga didn't find the back of the net this week, but those trailing them were not as accurate in front of goal either.

Fact of the week: Messi celebrates 18 years as a Blaugrana player

Football fans need to mark this day on their calendars, as their beloved sport would never be the same after September 17, 2000. On this day, Lionel Messi disembarked from Argentina to join Los Blaugranas, and when he decided to wear that jersey for the first day, a new era of football began.
