La Liga action was back this weekend after a mini hiatus due to the international break. The big story of the 14th day was Real Madrid regaining Barcelona’s lead at the top of the table with a 3-0 victory over Leganes on Sunday.

Barca held a six-point margin over their rivals, with Los Blancos having played a game less. Despite taking a 2-0 lead over Celta Vigo thanks to goals from Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, the away team could only draw. Two late goals from Alfonso Gonzales and Hugo Alvarez, just after Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado was sent off, earned Celta a point.

Real Madrid took advantage of Barcelona’s mistake by comfortably winning 3-0 away at Leganes. Goals from Kylian Mbappe, Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham reduces the advance at the top by only four points.

Los Blancos leapfrogged city rivals Atletico Madrid, who had moved into second place for 24 hours with a 2-1 victory over Alaves. Goals from Antoine Griezmann and Alexander Sorloth in the final 15 minutes secured all three points.

There was an emotional victory for bottom team Valencia, winning 4-2 at home to Real Betis to lift them up to 18th place. It was the first match played at the Mestalla stadium since the tragic floods which hit the region last month, with a moving tribute before the start of the match.
