At the moment looking at what Girona are doing actually they are still very worthy of praise when they do the match until halfway through the season well and even become one of the clubs with the highest goal productivity and their strikers are still competing for the top score of course it is a very good achievement for them. But for the championship I wouldn't think that far ahead because in the end my belief this season is still in Madrid as the entity that cannot be touched this season. Girona are worthy of a challenge but for the trophy, I'm still banking on Madrid this season.

The previous game saw Girona falter a little due to the draw they got, they were only able to get 1 point and now even though they are at the top then of course this can be easily overtaken by Madrid as they still have 1 game left to play.

Carlos Ancelotti bring Real Madrid to the level which they deserve what a performance in Super cup final completely disastrous for the Barcelona which is surely needed some changes but their management wrong tactics and now poor finances bring them to this level where they are not able to handle things on better merit. Today from the start things gone away from the Barcelona and Vinícius Júnior having complete control of the match for the first half which allow him to score a hat trick and enjoy end of his injury time with celebration at the home of Cristiano Ronaldo club.

After this win now their confidence level is going at the top, and they will surely enjoy after having next game win which will bring them to the top of the Spanish league table as Girona also held by bottom side team Almeria which is big setback for them and their chances for staying at the top of league table for long time.

Well, it's very clear that Barcelona is not in good condition. we can see several key players who have suffered injuries, the poor performance of Barcelona players and who knows what Xavi is planning to get his squad back on track. and yeah, this defeat was Barcelona's second defeat this season during the El Clasico match. last night's match, Barcelona's defeat was the saddest thing for Barcelona. at least, losing by a narrow score wasn't that big of a deal. however, Barcelona fell with a score of 4-1. even though, this match was held at a neutral venue.
for me, there are several points that made Barcelona easily defeated by Real Madrid in the Supercopa de Espana match. just look, Barcelona has lost since the first half with a score of 3-1. we can also refer to the statistics of the Barcelona players, Balde and Araujo really underperformed. I have often said that several Barcelona defenders have experienced a decline in their performance this season. likewise with the absence of Ter Stegen, who was quite influential in guarding Barcelona's crossbar. because Inaki Pena has not been able to show his ability to guard his goal so that he doesn't always concede.

in fact, it is not uncommon for Barcelona to concede first in several of their matches, this condition is different from the performance of Barcelona's defense last season. apart from that, Barcelona's front line is experiencing a deadlock in terms of scoring goals. even though in last night's match, Lewandowski played quite well. of all the Barcelona players in the last few matches, only Gundohan has really performed consistently with his best performance. well, sometimes I don't understand when Xavi puts in players who are not even ideal at all. he tried to experiment, and the results fell with a landslide score. anyway, Barcelona is still my favorite team. I hope that Xavi is able to find the best format for his team in the matches they will play. as for Real Madrid, their performance really deserves appreciation and Vini Jr was the best player in last night's match. there's not much I can say about Real Madrid, but they really deserved the win over Barcelona. and yeah, congratulations to Real Madrid.

It was quite impressive when Girona beat Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​because the two legendary El Classico clubs have never been absent from the top of the standings. Now Real Madrid is in second position and Barcelona is in fourth position. The match with Almeria did not produce any results, but Girona's next match is against Rayo Vallecano on January 18 and against Sevilla on January 22, this will be a match that will prove whether Girona can add points and keep them at the top, or have to be satisfied with Real Madrid's revival. to follow him.

The match that Real Madrid played yesterday was the epitome of what it means to be Real Madrid. The players gave an excellent performance, and I was surprised that Real Madrid scored three goals before the half, one of which was scored by Vini Jr. Vini Jr. used Barcelona to set a record that Cristiano Ronaldo had never done for Real Madrid; by scoring three goals before the half, and against one of the best teams in the world, Barcelona, Vini Jr. truly deserves the number 7 shirt that he wears.

Many fans are criticising the coach for Barcelona's performance, but I would like to know if the coach or the players were at fault in the game. Since there is no other player that the coach will substitute to allow Barcelona to score goals against Real Madrid, I believe that Barcelona's formation is excellent and that the players he selected for the team are the best players for Barcelona. Therefore, I do not hold the coach responsible for Barcelona's loss. Real Madrid is playing with a lot of heart, and they take advantage of the situation to score goals early on. Barcelona's only option at this point is to acquire new players, even if it means taking a loan; otherwise, their performance won't change.

If you look at Barcelona's overall performance in every match they play in Laliga, of course they are having big difficulties in being able to defend their title this season. Barcelona had to give up when facing Girona in the previous match, which indicates that Barcelona does not have big ambitions to defend its title this season. Even though they still have a chance, I doubt they will be able to stop Real Madrid good performance this season.

Also the defeat experienced by Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup which I think will have a quite bad impact on the players mentality for the next match. On the other hand, Barcelona ranking has been overtaken by Bilbao again this week, which I think Barcelona has a lot of pressure to achieve victory in the next match. If they are not consistent this season, of course their ranking will be overtaken by other teams because the point difference is so close to the teams below their ranking.

Like you said, congratulations to Real Madrid for adding another trophy to the club's trophy cabinet in one of the most entertaining fashion. Real Madrid have been a better team than their yesterday's Spanish Super Cup opponents Barcelona since the start of the season. It was the second time that the both teams were facing each this season and Real Madrid who won in their first fixture also grabbed the win yesterday but it was more embarrassing than the first game as they defeated Barcelona by 4 goals to 1

Real Madrid's attacking line was their biggest threat in that game yesterday as Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo made Barcelona defense look absolutely toothless. The four goals that was scored by Real Madrid were all converted by the two Brazilian superstars in the team and the club manager Carlo Ancelotti couldn't contain his joy

Since the match started, I saw Real Madrid applying very strong pressure, while Barcelona's current weakness, if we look more closely, is in the defense line.
We all watched the match and saw how bad Barca's defense was, there was always empty space which was very easy for Vinicius to spot and produce 2 scores without a penalty kick.
Actually, Barcelona's attack line is quite good, but Real Madrid is too strong and this seems to be Ancelotti's goal to win the treble winner this season and I see Ancelotti's seriousness, he mobilized all the main players, even in the second half, Joselu had to compete with the aim of scoring. even bigger score.
Very solid cooperation from Real Madrid, all the players compete very solidly, even as attackers Vinicius or Rodrygo also help the defense so it becomes very strong and this is the real performance that Real Madrid can always create really fantastic cooperation, even in La Liga there is not a single club. who can beat Real Madrid.
I don't think yesterday's match was uninteresting and still yesterday's competition was extraordinary, even though Barca lost, at least there was strong resistance from the Barcelona players and with this victory, Ancelotti is even more enthusiastic about winning another title.

Real Madrid's attack was outstanding and their performances were excellent with Vini Jr. scoring three goals alone in the first half. Although Barcelona managed to score only one goal only Lewandowski countered but later none of the players performed very well and were unable to score any more goals due to their poor performances. Real Madrid put in an impressive first-half performance which made their fightback from the outset very good and they held on brilliantly until the end. However, this season, Barcelona has not been able to perform very well, due to which they could not cope with Madrid in this match, instead, they lost by a large margin. If Barcelona had two more stars in the match, it might have been a little harder for Madrid to win the match, especially Xabi and Raphinha, but in their absence, Barcelona played a much worse match. However, it has to be admitted that what was really impressive was the way Real Madrid won the match today.

We cannot expect Girona always be overcomes their opponents for each matches because basically they only as dark horses team status in Laliga so it's not easy for Girona to managed their consistency and defend their position on league standings and just like i said before Almeria is not easy to beated so Girona shouldn't be underestimate them and finally yesterday Girona was slipped because they unable beat weak team Almeria and i assume why Girona was failed to win is because they losing some players and apparently that had a huge impact on their performance yesterday besides that Almeria know Girona as one of the teams with the best front lines in Laliga so Gaizka Garitano has decide to used 5 defender players to strengthen Almeria defensive lines because in my opinion Almeria was targetting the draw result from this match and this strategy can work well because Girona players looks very difficult to broke the defense of Almeria

yes, in the match against Almeria, Girona was actually still lucky because they were not beaten by Almeria and if they were beaten by Almeria it would probably be big news, but this time Girona is still in 1st place in Laliga and hopefully it will be a lesson for Girona and Xavi to always be alert in face his opponent even though his opponent is at the bottom of the ranking. and against Sevilla, according to my predictions, Girona will definitely have the potential to win the match. However, remembering Almeria's match against Girona, I think it will be difficult for us to predict who will win because sometimes it is possible that during the match, Sevilla's performance will be good and could make it difficult for Girona to score goals.

I agree with you that what Madrid is waiting for is Girona to experience defeat, but it seems that in Girona's match against Almeria, even though the result is a draw, it will definitely be happiness for Madrid because of course Madrid also wants to win the trophy in Laliga this season.

Yes, Girona must ensure that they consistently win in matches because if they don't consistently win then Girona will fail to become champions. but I personally believe that Girona will win the next match against Sevilla, so we'll see.

The game was a very funny one towards the ending, while cardiz were struggling to equalize Valencia second goal, they conceded the third and fourth goal from an ever motivated Valencia team. It was quite entertaining for Valencia and frustrating for Cardiz, and I think I perfectly understand Cardiz frustration, they're seriously striving to escape relegation. I celebrate with Valencia too, the game was very entertaining especially towards the end.

Barcelona is still at the fourth position in the La Liga table standing but since La Liga is a double round Robin, maybe they are likely to do some magic before the end of this season which is going to end by May of this year. But Barcelona does not seem to come with that much needed enthusiasm to take the lead this year which also means they will lose their defending championship. Girona is still taking the lead as of today and they are doing well enough with the 49 points to lead the way.

I am happy with the performance of Girona although unfortunately they could not win over Almeria but that's football for you. I believe they will prepare to do better the next time. The spirit of Girona is the spirit to fail forward. When they fail, they go back to the drawing board to get better.


Xavi has really done his best to bring Barcelona to the stage at which they are today, but unfortunately that is still not enough. He has tried but it seems like that is not well enough to take him to a lead. This is why you must strongly commend on the effort of Girona and the manager Michel who has been doing extremely well with his squad to stun out such great performances.

On the one hand you are right and Xavi's contribution to Barcelona's victories is great and without him Barcelona probably wouldn't have won La Liga last season, but Xavi also made mistakes, including in transfers. The management allocated him enough money for transfers, but he did not use them 100% and so far he has not been able to overcome the crisis of changing generations of players, when in place of Messi, Busquets, Pique and other players Barcelona can not find the same quality replacement, well, maybe except for Rafinha.

Barcelona have good young players, but after a couple of good matches they disappear somewhere or stop progressing and in this regard Ancelotti is a much more experienced coach and was able to establish the game to Real and after the departure of Benzema and now Real plays and has the best indicators in the league on goals scored and conceded actually without a striker. 

Almeria is actually the bottom club in Laliga and Girona can't beat them at all, it's clearly a mistake that Madrid has been waiting for to get close to Girona with an increasingly small point difference at the top of the standings, we also can't say that Sevilla is the team which is weak because against Almeria which is clearly below Sevilla, Girona is not able to win, what about against Sevilla later, I think it might be a difficult opponent for Girona even though maybe Girona won't lose to Sevilla either.

Madrid is ready to replace Girona if Girona makes another mistake, for example getting a draw and sharing points with Sevilla. I think the draw against Almeria yesterday should be a self-evaluation that the players should re-emphasize not to underestimate their opponents which ultimately harms Girona itself. , a difference of one point is not a complicated thing for Madrid, if Girona does not maintain their consistency until the end of the season then they will fail to win the title this season.  

Congratulations to the Supercopa champions, Real Madrid!

I still can't believe that the match was considered finished when the first half ended because with Barcelona's defensive blunders, Real Madrid was able to score 2 quick goals and here Vini has scored a brace in the early minutes. It didn't stop there and even though Lewandowski shortened the score with a hard kick from outside the penalty box, it wasn't enough to bring Barcelona back. After that, it was Araujo's turn to foul Vini in the defensive area and I asked who would take the penalty kick considering that Luka Modric was still on the bench. Surprisingly, the kick was taken by Vini and he shot his shot towards the right of the goal guarded by Inaki Pena and at the same time closed the first half with a hat trick which he scored.

After that the match continued and in the second half Barcelona still couldn't penetrate Real Madrid's goal which was guarded by Lunin and even though they often had opportunities, Lunin managed to thwart them all. Real Madrid attacked again and it was a counter attack and Barcelona didn't seem to have learned how to prevent players with the high speed that Real Madrid has and thanks to an assist from Vini, Rodrygo scored the 4th goal and at the same time it was a landslide victory in the Supercopa final.

A little note, several Barcelona players made fatal blunders and especially for Kounde he was a problem with the goals scored by Vini and Rodrygo and I think Xavi has to improve his defense after this if he still wants to compete. Araujo also received a red card for fouling Vini twice and had to be sent off, which made Barcelona's defense even more devastated and they conceded a goal.

This was of course a good game by Real Madrid, I am not going to say anything about that part but at the same time I feel like it was a horrible horrible game by Barcelona's defensive line.

I mean the goals were not goals that a team that good should have conceded, it is really not looking all that good for them. They do not have defense that could go out against these big clubs anymore and they need to do better. I know that it can't be done quickly so they will need to spend some time, but next season, basically this summer, they really need to start hiring some defensive players. That has to be the most important part. I know it's tough, but it can be done and I believe that it is going to be the most important part of their improvement. Don't look for scorers, look for defense because their defense sucks.

Now after this humiliating defeat in final of the Super Cup time for the Barcelona management sit and think about their future because their problems are going to be increase, and they have to settle before it's too late, and they lost their legacy like Napoli which is now having downtime with recovery is looking not easy so bringing new players is essential which needs good finances and debit is already above $1.3 Billion which mean they have to do something for having things move for the positive change.

Xavi is dedicated to club and doing his best but players quality and injuries are not allowing him to do things which are needed for the better results and this result is surely big slap on their face with they are playing as defending champions but have no enough quality to settle things.

Unfortunately Girona failed to score against Almeria yesterday and played a goal-less draw, so they could only earn one point... To be honest, such a result against an outsider in the standings was a big surprise for me... Real showed that they are in very good shape now and ready to fight for the title... I think that soon they will score more points than Girona...

Of course, I was not surprised by the results of Barcelona's match against Madrid because it is normal that there is always a cycle where team who were once great now have their performance decline. Yes, last season Barcelona's strength was really great, but now there is a decline. The victory for Real Madrid with a score of 4-1 certainly made Real Madrid and Real Madrid supporters happy. Yes, we deserve to congratulate Madrid because they have succeeded in becoming champions of the Spanish Super Cup. This is an extraordinary achievement for Madrid. Yes Vini and Rodrygo performed extraordinary and became heroes for Madrid. Yes, Ancelotti is very great in this matter and was quite successful in making Madrid great and becoming champions in the Spanish Super Cup and it is possible that Ancelotti will also bring Madrid to win again like in Laliga, especially since Girona yesterday drew against Almeria, of course this creates a big opportunity for Madrid to overtake Girona and become champions in Laliga.

Yes, in that match, Barcelona didn't have strong resistance to attack Madrid and of course this indicated that Barcelona's performance was declining while Madrid's performance was good. Yes, many people speculated that the match would be fierce, but of course as a spectator I felt happy and enjoyed watching the match.

Yes, now Madrid can avenge their defeat last season. Surely Real Madrid is happy now.
