This is LaLiga: Barça closes the gap with Real Madrid.

The third day of LaLiga EA Sports 2023-2024 is in dispute , in which FC Barcelona has traveled to Castellón to visit Villarreal at La Cerámica, in an afternoon full of goals in which it has become clear that mistakes are expensive on both sides. 

The blaugrana used a great punch -for the first time in the season- to resolve a very, very complicated confrontation that could have ended in disaster.

Xavi Hernández's men began winning very early, by 0-2, but they allowed themselves to come back with a 3-2 that seemed to have 'killed' Barça .

However, the entry into the field of Ferran Torres had an effect again and, in a new flurry, they took the lead thanks, also, to Robert Lewandowski. It is a complicated victory, but one of those that demonstrate the character of the team.

The victory has left Barça in third position, with seven points, with four games to go in this third league matchday. It is pending to be played, this Monday, Getafe and Alavés, as well as the Madrid derby Rayo vs Atlético de Madrid to end this date . It should be noted that Real Madrid remains at the top of the table, with plenty of victories, to add nine points.

Carlo Ancelotti's men prevailed on their visit to Real Club Celta, on Friday, thanks to the solitary goal from Jude Bellingham , who is dressing as Pichichi in this League. Madrid experienced a disputed match, which included an injury to Vinicius Jr, but they are still plugged in and with the spirit of staying at the top of the table. For this reason, Barça cannot lose sight of them.

This weekend, on the other hand, Las Palmas and Real Sociedad tied (0-0), as did Cádiz and Almería, who did not overcome the tables (1-1). Likewise, after a highly disputed match and with too many novelties, Granada prevailed at home against RCD Mallorca (3-2), while Sevilla lost again, at home, and remains without points.

Girona was the big surprise on Saturday after resisting and winning an important 1-2 win at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. This Sunday, Osasuna prevailed with suffering against Valencia (1-2) and Athletic Club unleashed madness with their comeback against Betis (4-2).
