La Liga Opens with Goals, Comebacks and Closely Contested Matches

The new La Liga season began with an unusual opening round in which several clubs, including Real Madrid and Barcelona, had not yet played. Alaves launched the campaign by beating ten-man Getafe 3-0, with Mariano Díaz contributing a goal and two assists.
Sevilla came from behind to defeat Rayo Vallecano 2-1, scoring the winner from a late penalty. Newly promoted Racing Santander led Villarreal 2-0 before the visitors recovered to secure a 2-2 draw, while Espanyol recorded a comfortable 3-0 victory against Levante.
Real Madrid and Barcelona continued their delayed preseason schedules. Madrid won 3-0 at Schalke through goals from Kylian Mbappé, Dean Huijsen, and Carlos Espí, while Barcelona beat Basel 5-2 as several regular starters and new signings returned.
