Real Madrid held by 10-man Levante; Atlético wins again
Real Madrid couldn’t manage more than a 3-3 draw at Levante in the Spanish league despite playing nearly 10 minutes when Levante was forced to have a defender as its goalkeeperAUGUST 22, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Julen Agirrezabala - Concedes one to Barca Agirrezabala conceded one goal and made two saves during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Barcelona.
Impact Agirrezabala is one of many in the goalkeeper pipeline to impress at a young age and he would have kept the clean sheet if it weren't for a powerful strike from Memphis Depay. Going into the next match at Celta Vigo, and Agirrezabala will continue to start until Unai Simon is ready to return from his extended vacation after his summer obligations.

Alex Berenguer - Busy in draw Berenguer took three shots (one on goal) and created one chance from 11 crosses (zero accurate) during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Barcelona.
Impact Berenguer needs to be more efficient with his production, but these numbers offer decent base value early in the season. As the entire attack gets into a groove, look for Berenguer as a key asset to follow. Up next is a trip to Celta Vigo.

Inaki Williams - Logs six shots in draw Williams took six shots (three on goal) and created one chance during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Barcelona.
Impact Williams already looks more lively than he did last season but goals will need to come soon for a team without many reliable striking options. Up next is a trip to Celta Vigo, and Williams has taken eight shots through two games so far.
AUGUST 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Iker Muniain - Logs assist in draw Muniain provided one assist from three chances created on six crosses (three accurate) in 76 minutes of Saturday's 1-1 draw with Barcelona.
Impact Muniain may not be healthy enough to play for a full 90 just yet but five chances created and nine corners taken suggest he has plenty to offer. Should one of his strikers find their goalscoring stride, look for Muniain to become even more valuable as someone starts finishing the chances he creates. Up next is a trip to Celta Vigo.
AUGUST 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Inigo Martinez - Scores in draw Martinez scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) and conceded a yellow card during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Barcelona.
Impact Martinez lost his marker on a corner and smashed home the header to take the lead, though it was eventually lost in the final score. Through two games, Martinez and Dani Vivian have created a solid partnership even without Unai Simon, and this will be worth monitoring in the early weeks of the season. Up next is a trip to Celta Vigo.

Oscar De Marcos - On bench against Barca De Marcos (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Barcelona.
Impact De Marcos was forced off with a thigh injury in the opener and it looks like it's keeping him from starting Saturday. He may not be 100 percent or he simply lost his spot at right-back to Inigo Lekue. Either way, those two are expected to fight for playing time all season.
AUGUST 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Dani Vivian - Starting against Barca Vivian (thigh) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Barcelona.
Impact Vivian appears to be fine after missing training earlier in the week with a thigh injury. He's started the first two matches of the season for Bilbao and is alongside Inigo Martinez in a tough spot against Barca on Saturday.
