Celta shocked Atlético Madrid, one of the title favorites, with a 2-0 victory; Joaquín won the Andalusian derby; and the Valencian derby was a draw.
Atlético were considered one of the preseason title favorites, but Celta Vigo put them to sword. Maxi Gómez pounced on a slip by Diego Godín and put away the first goal for Celta with a smart finish. Then, he put in a good cross for Aspas to head in for the 2-0. Celta almost had three, but VAR ruled it out for offside. A huge blow for Atléti, as they take only four points from their first three matches.
