La Liga standings update: Real Madrid leads, Barcelona close behind

Real Madrid remain unbeaten in eight matches, sitting alone at the summit of La Liga with 21 points after seven wins and one loss.

Barcelona sit just two points behind, having accumulated 19 points from eight fixtures with six wins, one draw and one defeat, keeping the title race tight.

Atletico Madrid hold third place on 17 points, their record of five wins, two draws and one loss reflecting a solid, if not spectacular, campaign.

Sevilla occupy fourth spot with 11 points, their three wins, two draws and three losses indicating a mixed start to the season.

Behind the top four, Deportivo Alavés, CA Osasuna and Sevilla FC each recorded seven points after three matches, all unbeaten with two wins and one draw.

The early‑season snapshot after three games showed Barcelona and Real Madrid both on nine points, while Atletico Madrid, Alavés and Osasuna each had seven, highlighting the consistency of the leading clubs.

With the season entering its third month, the narrow gap at the top suggests a competitive run‑in, while teams outside the top four will look to close the distance in the coming weeks.
