Barcelona sit alone on top of La Liga after racking up their third straight win on Saturday, while Atletico are in second after defeating Real Madrid in the derby clash at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Barca have yet to concede a goal this term in the Primera Division, while Madrid are in trouble after back-to-back losses and lie in 12th place after three rounds of the championship.
Elsewhere, there were wins for Elche, Valencia, Sevilla and Deportivo La Coruna and here, Goal picks out the pick of the players for the third round of action in La Liga.
In goal, former Madrid man Jesus Fernandez was the hero with some fine saves as Levante earned a point in a 0-0 draw at Malaga.
Malaga's Sergio Sanchez also impressed in that match, while Diego Godin was excellent as Atletico edged out Madrid 2-1 in the derby and Alberto Lopo key for Deportivo in the Galicians' 1-0 win at Eibar.
In midfield, Koke was in fantastic form for Atleti and also set up the first goal for the impressive Tiago. Meanwhile, Javi Fuego was instrumental for Valencia in their 3-1 victory over Espanyol and Pedro Mosquera scored what turned out to be the winner for Elche at Rayo Vallecano.
Further forward, Lionel Messi was decisive once more but this time as a provider, setting up both goals for substitute Neymar as Barca beat Athletic 2-0. Former Barca youngster Nolito also shone as Celta Vigo drew 2-2 at home to Real Sociedad.
