Lionel Messi scored twice – after having a penalty saved – as Barcelona beat Alaves in La Liga.

Marco Asensio scored twice for Real Madrid as they drew an entertaining game with Valencia.
Just as they did when they travelled to Las Palmas in the 2016/17 LaLiga season, Atletico Madrid scored five times at the Estadio de Gran Canaria, winning 5-1 this time around to earn their first victory of the campaign.

Newly promoted Getafe were just minutes away from doubling up on their excellent first day point at Athletic Club by holding Sevilla to a goalless draw on Sunday night, only for Ganso to grab the visitors the win.
