Beyond El Clasico, La Liga Matchday 10 produced a full weekend of results across Spain on 23-25 October 2026, according to the roundup of the weekend’s games. Atletico Madrid stayed second, Athletic Club recorded the round’s biggest win, and Villarreal won a dramatic late game at Valencia. Atletico Madrid beat Deportivo de La Coruna 1-0 on Saturday, according to the roundup, a result that kept them second in the table on 25 points, behind Barcelona on 27 and ahead of Real Madrid on 24. It was a typically efficient Atletico performance: a narrow win, a clean sheet, and three points banked without fuss.
Athletic hit four
Athletic Club recorded the largest winning margin of the weekend, beating Getafe 4-0 on Sunday, according to the roundup. It was a statement win for a team that has made San Mames a fortress in recent seasons, and a result that will have the rest of La Liga taking notice. Elsewhere on Saturday, Rayo Vallecano lost 0-3 to Elche, Racing Santander beat Espanyol 2-1, and Valencia lost 1-2 to Villarreal in a dramatic late win for the visitors, according to the roundup. On Friday, the round began with Alaves drawing 1-1 with Malaga, a result that left Malaga bottom with five points from ten games and still winless.
Sunday’s other games
On Sunday, Real Sociedad beat Levante 2-1, according to reports, with Orri Oskarsson scoring in the sixth minute and Benat Turrientes extending the lead in the 27th, before Levante responded through Perez. Celta Vigo and Real Betis shared a goalless draw at Balaidos, one of the weekend’s two matches in which neither side found the net. Real Betis reached 20 points with the draw, according to the roundup, while Celta Vigo moved to 12 points. Real Sociedad’s win took them to 19 points, in a congested mid-table where a single win can move a team several places.
Table takes shape
After nine of the ten Matchday 10 games, the standings snapshot showed Barcelona top on 27 points, Atletico second on 25, Real Madrid third on 24, Betis fourth on 20 and Sociedad fifth on 19, according to the roundup. Sevilla versus Osasuna, scheduled for Monday 26 October, remained to be played. For the title race, though, the story of the weekend was already written in Barcelona — and the rest of La Liga must now chase a top three separated by just three points.
