What happened: Kylian Mbappé told AS he does not like discussing other teams because he is not there. Asked about Barcelona winning games early in the season, he replied 'Good for them,' adding it remains the beginning of the season.

Why it matters: Early winning runs shape the title-race narrative while the table is still forming. September form rarely settles anything before the head-to-head meetings.

What to watch: Barcelona's next results will show whether the opening run holds.
