Spanish Primera Division (La Liga) Recap – Saturday, September 12, 2009
FC Barcelona won on the road at Getafe and Real Madrid defeated Espanyol 3-0 as the top teams remained undefeated. Barcelona is looking very strong as they’ve yet to concede a goal while Real Madrid also earned a clean sheet on Saturday. In other matches, Atletico Madrid earned their first point of the season with a 1-1 draw against Racing Santander but still is winless. The other match was Sevilla v Real Zaragoza.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo both scored goals as they each aims to prove they are the best player in the world. With both players in La Liga, it should be interesting to the two teams play in late November. It’s still very early in the La Liga season (only Week 2 of matches) so its unclear how good Real Madrid will be or if Barcelona can keep their form of last season. Here are video highlights of the matches.
