La Liga team of the Week

Rafael Benitez's side managed to record their first victory in three matches away to Eibar, but they are still six points off the summit.
Real Madrid returned to winning ways in La Liga with a 2-0 victory at Eibar on Sunday, but successes for Barcelona and Atletico Madrid mean that Los Blancos are still in third position in the table after 13 games of the season.

Barcelona stretched their lead at the summit with a 4-0 victory over Real Sociedad on Saturday, but Atletico responded with a 1-0 home win over Espanyol to ensure that they would remain second at the end of the weekend regardless of Real Madrid's result one day later.

Week 13's action opened from Valencia on Friday, with Real Betis winning 1-0 at Levante, who remain bottom of the table on 10 points.

On Saturday, as well as wins for Barcelona and Atletico, the points were shared in a 2-2 draw between Malaga and Granada, while Deportivo La Coruna continued their impressive start to the campaign with a confident 2-0 win at struggling Las Palmas and Celta Vigo regained fourth spot with a 2-1 victory over Sporting Gijon.

Sunday's early start saw Getafe record a surprising 2-0 victory at home to Villarreal, before Athletic Bilbao moved into the top seven with a 3-0 win at Rayo Vallecano, who are now just four points outside of the relegation zone.

Sevilla returned to winning ways with a 1-0 success against Valencia, their head coach Nuno announced his resignation at the Mestalla following a difficult start to the season.

It was another pulsating round of action in Spain's top flight and with that in mind. Here's the team of the week.
