They are the only team to maintain a perfect record in the Spanish top-flight, scoring an impressive 31 goals and conceding just seven.

The Blaugrana’s latest victory came at Sevilla, where Raphinha scored a sensational hat-trick to lead them to a comfortable 3-1 victory.
It’s still early in the season, but already the question on everyone’ s mind is whether anyone can stop Barcelona from retaining the La Liga title.
They are formidable in attack, with Raphinha, Lamine Yamal and Anthony Gordon in their ranks.
The signing of Rodri in the summer means their midfield remains the best in the league.
Their defence is not flawless, but conceding seven goals in seven matches is highly impressive.
Can Real Madrid end Barcelona’s domestic dominance?
Madrid have been trophyless in the last two seasons, which is a huge decline for a club of their stature.
Club president Florentino Perez has put Jose Mourinho in charge, and the Portuguese has led the team to a promising start.
Los Blancos have won five of their six games to be second in the league standings.
Their only defeat so far came at Real Betis earlier this month when Troy Parrott scored a late winner.
Since then, Mourinho’s men have defeated Inter Milan in the Champions League and claimed successive league wins over Rayo Vallecano and Elche.
However, the manner of their victories have not entirely been convincing.
Madrid failed to control the game against Inter and were lucky to come away with all three points from Elche in midweek.
Los Blancos were leading 2-0 against Elche at half-time, but then allowed the opposition back in the game by conceding two late goals.
Only Carlos Espi’s stoppage-time goal ensured points were not dropped at the Estadio Martinez Valero.
Real’s title credentials will be tested on Sunday when they take on Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano Stadium.
Atletico have world-class players in their squad, and they will enter Sunday’s fixture off the back of dominating victories against Real Sociedad and Osasuna.
