LaLiga is back with a bang! The international break is (finally) over, and there's plenty for Matt Clark (@MattClark_08) and Román de Arquer (@Aeroslavee) to unpack in our recap pod.
Atleti, Barça and Real Madrid all got the job done without any “FIFA/UEFA virus” scares, although there was plenty of controversy at the Santiago Bernabéu, where Vinícius Jr. went from an ecstatic celebration to a furious reaction to his sending-off in a matter of minutes.
Elsewhere in Madrid, Vallecas and football aren't seeing eye to eye this season. Now that Rayo can finally play at their usual stadium, it was the fans who intervened, ensuring the match against Athletic Club was suspended and sending president Raúl Martín Presa a strong message.
Real Sociedad and Betis also picked up important wins, with both sides coming close to blowing 3-0 leads in their respective matches. Ultimately, though, they held on to claim the victory and add three more points to their tallies.
All this and plenty more in our recap pod, so make sure you tune in! Oh, and remember, we've got more pods and articles where that came from on our Substack: lllonline.substack.com.
