Real Madrid returned to winning ways at the weekend when they beat Levante 2-0 but the Bernabeu crowd singled out Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham and Fede Valverde for boos and whistles as they continued to express their displeasure at Xabi Alonso’s sacking. Gary And Alex react to the scenes in Madrid and the challenges facing new manager Alvaro Arbeloa.
Barcelona’s nine-game winning streak came to an end with defeat at Real Sociedad in an incident-packed game featuring disallowed goals, overturned penalties, and a brilliant performance from La Real’s goalkeeper. This result means Barca are only one point ahead of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga, but there was some positive news for Marcus Rashford as he got himself on the scoresheet.
Finally, we look at Villarreal’s fading hopes of muscling their way into the title race after defeat at an improving Real Betis and there’s a look at Atletico Madrid’s Alexander Sorloth proving some of his doubters wrong with a superb winning goal against Alaves.
