LaLiga Santander Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Valencia are undefeated

After eleven matches of LaLiga action, a new trio has come to the fore of Barcelona, Valencia and Atletico Madrid, and it is the first time in 21 years that three teams have been unbeaten at this stage of the season.

Barcelona have equalled their best start to a season, with eight wins and three draws, while it is the third time Atletico have been unbeaten after eleven games.

It is just the third time in LaLiga history that three teams have achieved undefeated status after 11 matches, following on from 1996/97 and 1982/83.

The last time it happened was 1996/97 when Barcelona, Real Madrid and Deportivo all reached week 12 without tasting defeat.

On that occasion, the Azulgrana sat atop the table with 27 points, two above Los Blancos and Depor, who had seven wins and four draws.

The first of the teams to fall was Barcelona, who were beaten in week 14, leaving the other two aiming to defend their undefeated streaks.

In 1982/83, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad and Sporting all went the first eleven games without being beaten, with Los Blancos again leading the pack with seven wins and four draws, ahead of Sociedad and Sporting, on 15 and 14 points respectively.

On that occasion, the unbeaten runs lasted just one more game week, when the San Sebastian side were beaten in week 12 to end their run.
