After five days of competition, all 10 matches of the 2024/25 La Liga season’s first round have concluded. Leisu Sports has provided live video streams of all the games for fans to enjoy. Now, let’s review the first round of La Liga and relive the unforgettable memories.
6 Draws in 10 Matches: A Gentle Start to the Season
Six draws were recorded in the first 10 games, indicating a calm start to the season. The six draws were: Athletic Bilbao 1-1 Getafe, Betis 1-1 Girona, Las Palmas 2-2 Sevilla, Osasuna 1-1 Leganes, Mallorca 1-1 Real Madrid, and Villarreal 2-2 Atlético Madrid. Notably, both matches on the first day ended in draws, setting the tone for the round.
26 Goals Scored in Round 1, Espanyol Fails to Find the Net
The first round of La Liga saw a total of 26 goals. The two highest-scoring matches were: Las Palmas 2-2 Sevilla and Villarreal 2-2 Atlético Madrid, both delivering four goals each.
Overall, the average goals per game in the first round was 2.6, with 19 out of the 20 La Liga teams finding the back of the net. Only Espanyol failed to score. In a direct clash between two newly promoted teams, Espanyol suffered a 0-1 defeat away to Valladolid in their first match back in La Liga.
Madrid Giants Stumble, Lewandowski Double Propels Barcelona to Victory
In the highly anticipated matches, Real Madrid drew 1-1 away to Mallorca, failing to start the season with a win. Meanwhile, the much-anticipated arrival of Mbappé in La Liga did not bring forth a continuation of his impressive performance in the European Super Cup. Mbappé attempted 4 shots and completed 3 dribbles, displaying his full commitment, yet he didn’t deliver the performance fans were expecting.
Furthermore, Atlético Madrid drew 2-2 away to Villarreal. The other Madrid powerhouse, Atlético, also failed to secure a victory in their first match. All four goals were scored in the first half. Atlético’s link-up play between Griezmann and Llorente was a highlight, but Captain Koke’s own goal put Simeone’s team behind. Although Sorloth equalized for Atlético, they didn’t find a third goal in the second half.
In contrast to the sluggish starts of the Madrid giants, Barcelona secured a 2-1 victory away to Valencia thanks to Lewandowski’s brace. The young winger, Yamal, also provided the first assist of the season. The “kid” continued his hot form from the European Championship. Notably, Lewandowski is the only player to have scored a brace this round, currently leading the top scorer standings with two goals.
La Liga will enter its second round starting on August 24th. After the “gentle” first round, will La Liga witness an “epic whirlwind” of action? Leisu Sports will continue to follow the exciting developments with our fans.
