Key Takeaways
Alavés and Espanyol made the loudest statements with a pair of emphatic 3–0 victories, while Sevilla’s narrow win over Rayo kept them in the early mix. The remaining big names — including Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid — have yet to kick off, so the shape of the early table is only provisional.
