Yamal double helps Barca beat Levante, Atletico triumph
Hansi Flick's side reestablished their three-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of La Liga with an exciting 4-2 win.
Barcelona's Lamine Yamal scored twice as the Catalan giants defeated Levante 4-2 in La Liga, extending their perfect start to the season. The victory widened Barcelona's lead at the top of the table to three points over Real Madrid, who had earlier beaten Rayo Vallecano. Atletico Madrid secured a 3-0 win against Real Sociedad with three late goals, moving into joint-third place in the standings.
Although Barcelona enjoyed a commanding first-half performance, they struggled defensively in the second half, allowing Levante to mount a late comeback. A penalty from Yamal sealed the win for Barcelona, with substitute Andreas Christensen sealing the result with a last-minute goal. Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, capitalized on a string of defensive errors from Real Sociedad to claim a 3-0 victory, with goals from Alejandro Grimaldo, Jonathan David, and Giuliano Simeone.
