Barcelona made it two wins from two in La Liga with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Athletic Club at Camp Nou, with Raphinha continuing his fine start to the season by opening the scoring in the 37th minute after rounding goalkeeper Unai Simón following a superb through ball from Pedri. Athletic struggled to threaten, managing no shot on target, while Simón produced eight saves to keep his side in contention. Rodri made his Barcelona debut in the second half after replacing Raphinha, receiving a huge ovation on his return to La Liga following his move from Manchester City. Fermín López sealed the points in the 82nd minute, converting from close range after Athletic failed to deal with Karim Adeyemi’s cross, as Barcelona extended their La Liga home winning streak to 20 matches.

Real Madrid began their home campaign in the 2026-27 La Liga season with a convincing 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad at the Santiago Bernabeu, powered by a Kylian Mbappe hat-trick. The hosts endured a difficult opening spell and were punished after failing to make their early chances count. Mbappe finally broke the deadlock in the 40th minute, but Luka Sucic quickly pulled Sociedad level as Madrid went into the break under pressure. Jose Mourinho’s side returned with far greater intensity after half-time. Mbappe restored the lead following a neat combination with Jude Bellingham before Vinicius Jr. made it 3-1, tapping home from another Bellingham assist. Mbappe then completed his hat-trick in the 80th minute with a composed chipped finish to seal the result. The win marked Mourinho’s first home match back in charge at the Bernabeu and gave Real Madrid a strong early-season boost.
