What is going on in LaLiga? For a 3rd straight matchday, BOTH Barcelona and Real Madrid have failed to win, and we've got new leaders! Lionel Messi and co. are finding it tough going defending their title as they drew 1-1 at Valencia, which means their winless league run stretches to 4 games, while Gareth Bale couldn't inspire Madrid to victory at Alavés, instead going down 1-0 after conceding in the 95th minute. It's madness! In the meantime, Sevilla top the table after Matchday 8, and Atlético join Barça a point behind - both of those sides won this weekend. It's such a compelling season so far, and it's genuinely tight at the top.

In this video, we recap all 10 games from the weekend with all of our La Liga Lowdown squad members based in Spain, giving you the facts and figures, reaction and local flavour, as we head into an international break.

We had it all in the second round of games in LaLiga! Barcelona were involved in the big controversy, playing on a terrible pitch at Real Valladolid as they won 1-0 away - and it's gone right to the very top. Real Madrid put 4 past Girona, but had to come from behind to do it.

Talking of comebacks, 2 of the feel-good stories of the weekend - Leganés fighting back from 2 down against Real Sociedad on Friday night, while Huesca did likewise to Athletic Club on Monday night at San Mamés. But none of Valencia, Sevilla, Villarreal or Real Betis managed to score a single goal between them on Matchday 2!

We also hear from 2 of the heroes of the weekend who we grabbed in the mixed zone after their games - Leganés' Nabil el Zhar and Pione Sisto who scored and assisted in Celta Vigo's 2-1 victory at Levante, plus we have your 3-word verdicts from the weekend as well.
