The relegation team counterattack + the giants fail! The script of the gods will be staged in the first round of La Liga. Will this season change?

Celta 0-2 Getafe

Although there are two games left in the first round of La Liga in 2025-26, it has frequently been exposed to be unpopular. On the evening of the 17th, Celta, the seventh place last season, lost to Getafe, the relegation team last season 0-2 at home.

Nigerian midfielder Uche, wearing No. 10, contributed one pass and one shot, and the stadium became the focus of the game. The two sides were in a stalemate in the first half, and Ukraine broke into the penalty area in just two minutes at the beginning of the second half and made a cross and assisted to score.

The lagging Celta pressed heavily to seek equalization, and Uche gave another fatal blow. After receiving Bekuha's long pass, he passed two defenders in a row. He calmly swung the goalkeeper and shot the empty goal, freezing the score at 2-0.

At the end of the game, the Nigerian international almost scored twice, but the shot was blocked by Celta's defender. Even though Celta strengthened its offensive in the final stage, Getafe will keep the victory to the end. Uche deserves to be named the best player of this game.

On August 15, 2024, Uche scored in his La Liga debut against Athletic Bilbao, helping the team draw 1-1 with their opponents. In his first season, he played in a total of 33 games and handed out a brilliant report card with 4 goals and 6 assists.

Espanyol 2-1 Atletico Madrid

coincidentally, in another La Liga first round focus match ending in the early morning of the 18th, traditional giant Atletico Madrid lost 1-2 to the mid-range team Espanyol. Pere Mira's wonderful header won the final game, helping Espanyol reverse Atletico Madrid 2-1. This is also the first time the Bedding Legion has encountered a league opening goal since 2009.

Spider-Kid Alvarez's stunning direct free kick score once gave Simeone's team the lead, but Espanyol suddenly made a strong effort in the second half and scored two goals in 11 minutes, creating the biggest upset in the first round of La Liga in the new season. The turning point of the game occurred in the 60th minute. Alvarez's strong shot hit the goal frame and missed a double score, which instead ignited the home team's horn for counterattack. Marcos Llorente made a reckless foul and sent a set piece, and Rubio's shovel in the small penalty area jumped into the net from Oblak's closest corner. In the 84th minute, Hillary made a precise cross and helped Pere Mira lean over to the top, and the ball drew a wonderful arc and crossed the Slovenian national goal.

Since the 2024-25 season, Alvarez has scored with three direct free kicks, tied for the first place in the five major leagues with Manchester City's Marmush and Manchester United's B Fee.

However, Atletico Madrid had 15 shots in the game, with an expected goal of only 0.87, far lower than the 1.25 created by Espanyol's 9 shots, and extremely inefficient. This game also ended the record of unbeaten in the first round of Atletico Madrid in 16 consecutive seasons. The last time the bed sheets team encountered a goal opening in the new season, it can be traced back to August 2009 that it lost to Malaga 0-3.
