Barcelona is a new Laliga EA Sports 2025/2026 leader. This Sunday, the team led by Hansi Flick defeated the Real Sociedad 2-1 at the Montjuic Olympic and took advantage of Real Madrid's fall against Atlético to take over the top of the table.
The Blaugranas reached 19 points in seven days, one more than the meringues, while Villarreal completes the provisional podium of the Spanish championship with 16 units.
On Saturday, the Madrid derby at the Wanda Metropolitano left a surprise result: Atlético crushed 5-2 to Madrid, until then leader. The blow opened the door for Barcelona to climb to first place, but the road at home was not simple.
On the first half hour, those of San Sebastián surprised. Ander Barrenetxea sent a center to medium height that found Álvaro Odriozola in the small area, attentive to push the ball and overcome the resistance of Wojciech Szczesny.
The Blaugrana response came in a stopped ball action. The English end Marcus Rashford executed a corner from the right and the French defender Jules Koundé, with an advance in the first stick, signed the tie just before the break.
The second half had Lamine Yamal as the protagonist, who returned after overcoming an injury that had marginalized him in the last weeks. The young Spanish end overflowed by the right wing and sent a precise center that the Polish Robert Lewandowski transformed into the Catalan comeback.
Barça's domain was evident throughout the game. With about 80% possession and five times more auctions on the door than its rival, the advantage could be greater. However, the important thing for Flick and his led was to ensure the three points and climb the leadership.
