At 03:30 Beijing time on September 26, the last match of La Liga’s sixth round featured Barcelona playing away against Real Oviedo.

After six rounds in La Liga, Real Madrid has taken an impressive six straight wins, leading the table with 18 points. Barcelona remains unbeaten with 5 wins and 1 draw, totaling 16 points in second place. Villarreal holds third with 4 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, accumulating 13 points. Atletico Madrid, despite being the second biggest spender this summer, has underperformed. They narrowly beat Rayo Vallecano 3-2 this round thanks to Alvarez’s hat-trick, but after six matches, Atletico has only 2 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss, sitting 8th with 9 points.
