MADRID, Sept. 30 -- The seventh round of games in the Liga Santander saw a draw in the Madrid derby, while FC Barcelona claimed their first away win of the season and Sevilla and Real Sociedad shared five goals. Here are some things we learned this weekend in Spain.
1. Goalkeepers aren't just for saves
FC Barcelona keeper Marc Andre Ter Stegen produced a virtuoso display just when his coach Ernesto Valverde most needed it.
Barca traveled to Getafe without an away win all season and without the injured Leo Messi, Ousmane Dembele and Ansu Fati it didn't look certain they would finally take all three points on the road. However, the Barca keeper not only made a series of important saves to keep Getafe at bay, he also provided the assist for Luis Suarez to score the opening goal in a 2-0 win with a long ball from the back.
The win takes pressure off Valverde until Wednesday, but the Barca boss will hope that his injury crisis in attack clears up sooner rather than later.
2. Madrid derby disappoints
A lot of lines of text were written ahead of the Madrid derby between Atletico and Real Madrid on Saturday night but in the end the game didn't live up to expectations as both sides produced a bit of a damp squib on a game which ended 0-0.
Real Madrid will probably be the happier of the two sides as they know they have come way unbeaten from one of their toughest away games of the season and with Zinedine Zidane showing his ability to produce a very tactical display.
