There were just nine games in LaLiga after bad weather postponed Atletico Madrid’s game against Sevilla. That gave the away team time to sign Sergio Ramos again.
Real Madrid won again thanks to LaLiga’s top scorer Jude Bellingham and Girona’s rise continues elsewhere.
Here are ten things we learned from week four.
Bellingham is bigger than the Beatles
Well, not quite… but the abiding love for the Fab Four in Spain and newfound love for the England midfielder saw them serenade his winner with a decent rendition of Hey Jude – particularly strong at the la-la -la-la part. .
“My legs were shaking when I heard it,” he said.

Toni Kroos is still in a different league
He didn’t start the game but he transformed it when he came on at half time and barely played a bad pass and led the game as Madrid came back to beat Getafe 2-1.
Luka Modric was also excellent. The veteran pair have seventy years of experience and they will play less this season, but they will be as important as ever.

Ramos comes home
Al-Ittihad wanted him and offered much more than Sevilla, but 37-year-old Sergio Ramos wants to ‘complete the circle’.
He left Seville when he was 19 years old and went to Real Madrid, where he became the greatest in the world in his position.
Sevilla fans have since jeered him every time he returned. Now they will definitely support him. They definitely need him at the bottom of the table.

Girona to the Champions League
The Spanish team of City Group had a good transfer period and an even better start to the season.
They are now just two points down from the top twelve after winning this weekend.
They also had a good time signing Eric Garcia from Barcelona on deadline day.

Bellingham’s inner number nine was released
Bellingham has now scored eight goals in his last seven games.
That’s five out of four for Barcelona and three out of three before that in his last games for Dortmund.
This season, only Erling Haaland is ahead of him in the race for the Golden Boot.

Gavi is the youngest veteran in LaLiga
The midfielder from Spain and Barcelona played his 100th game for Barcelona on Sunday and he is only 19 years old. Only 420 more games and he will be tied with Lionel Messi!
He finished the game with five stitches in his ear after sitting on the tip of Ruben Garcia’s elbow and was under-powered in Barca’s win over Osasuna.
Keeping his place may not be as easy as Joao Felix starts at the front, while Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha leave himself and Pedri.
Frenkie de Jong, Oriol Romeu and Ilkay Gundogan all scrap for three positions.
Gavi already has a hundred games under his belt for Barcelona and he is only nineteen
Robert’s goals still make him worth the money
As Cadena Ser revealed on Sunday evening, Robert Lewandowski earned 20 million euros (£17.1 million) last season and will earn 26 million euros (£22.23 million) this season.
Next season he is expected to earn 32 million euros and if he plays a certain percentage of games in his third season, he will get a fourth year and earn another 26 million euros.
It’s a lot of money, but goals win games and competitions and he still scores a lot, even if he doesn’t play particularly well.
He got the winner on Sunday and dispatched Barcelona in third.

It was a good weekend for Mendilibar
If Sevilla had lost to Atletico Madrid, they would have gone into the international break pointless after four games and that could have cost Jose Luis Mendilibar his job.
As it was, the game was canceled due to the threat of bad weather and Sevilla subsequently signed Ramos.
The club have been reluctant to bring back someone who will have a lot of political power, but his quality is beyond question and that is the only thing that will bother Mendilibar, who desperately needs more from his team to keep his job.

Chimy has a missile in his left foot
It’s the one he usually uses to get up at the tattooed tornado that scored the goal of the weekend past LaLiga’s best goalkeeper to level for Osasuna against Barcelona.
He didn’t deserve to be on the losing side, but Lewandowski made it happen.

First step on the way back for Joao Felix
He only came on in minute 79, but those eleven minutes were his first of the season and followed a summer in which he also watched from the sidelines.
Barça spoke of the Portuguese’s willingness to make a financial sacrifice to join and Spanish radio Cope revealed last week that they are only paying him 400,000 for the season.
He will also earn around €1.5 million from Atletico Madrid, who are even more desperate for him to do well than Barcelona so they can sell him for something close to the €127 million they bought four years ago. paid for him.
