In a whirlwind of La Liga chaos, Barcelona faced a stunning defeat at the hands of Villarreal in a sensational 5-3 clash, denting their title defence hopes.

The weekend saw Barcelona lose back-to-back thrillers, leaving Xavi's team 10 points adrift in the La Liga title race as Villarreal struck twice in stoppage time. On the other hand, Real Madrid's victory, fueled by Vinicius Junior and Tchouameni's heroics, sent them soaring to the top spot.

Amidst the chaos, Girona returned to the summit of La Liga with a narrow 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo, overshadowing Real Madrid's temporary glory. While Real Madrid basks in their latest triumph, Barcelona reels from their turbulent double defeat and Xavi's impending exit, setting the stage for a season of uncertainties and surprises in the Spanish league.
