Goals and points
A score tells us how many goals each team scored in one match. League points are different. In La Liga, a win gives a team three points. A draw gives each team one point.
Barcelona's three goals earned them three league points. The matching numbers are a coincidence: a 1-0 win also earns three points. Goals tell us the score of one match. League points help decide where teams stand in the table.
