Real Madrid extended their flawless start to the 2025/26 La Liga campaign with a convincing 4-1 win away at Levante, maintaining their perfect record of six wins in six games. The visitors took control early on as Vinícius Júnior opened the scoring with a well-taken goal before teenage sensation Franco Mastantuono doubled the advantage just before the break with his first strike for the club.
Levante briefly found a lifeline in the second half when Etta Eyong pulled one back, but Madrid quickly reasserted dominance through Kylian Mbappé, who netted a penalty in the 64th minute and added a second just two minutes later with a composed finish past the goalkeeper.
The result highlighted the balance and depth of Xavi Alonso’s squad, with Vinícius providing flair and creativity, Mastantuono showing promise, and Mbappé confirming his status as the match-winner. For Levante, though spirited in patches, defensive frailties were exposed as they struggled to contain Madrid’s attacking power.
Elsewhere in La Liga action, Sevilla suffered a disappointing home defeat against Villarreal. The Yellow Submarine secured their victory thanks to goals from Oluwaseyi in the 17th minute and Solomon in the 86th minute, which ultimately sealed the fate of the match and left Sevilla struggling on their own turf. Meanwhile, there was an exciting 2-2 draw between Espanyol and Valencia, with both teams putting in strong performances but unable to find a winner.
Additionally, Athletic Club and Girona played out a 1-1 stalemate. Ounahi opened the scoring for one side in the 9th minute, while Jauregizar equalized in the 48th. Both teams showed moments of quality throughout the match but lacked the decisive edge needed to claim all three points.
The latest round of matches reinforced the narrative of a two-horse race between Real Madrid and Barcelona, who both look sharp and relentless in their pursuit of early-season dominance. Madrid’s star trio of Vinícius, Mbappé, and Mastantuono has already delivered fireworks, while Barcelona are thriving with a blend of established internationals and hungry attackers. Levante, on the other hand, face the reality of fighting to stay clear of the relegation zone unless they shore up defensively. The La Liga table, as it stands, paints a picture of two giants racing ahead, while the chasing pack Atletico, Betis, and others struggle to keep up in what promises to be a long and challenging season.
