Beautiful and well said. I almost forgot about the name Pablo Gavi already. I forget he was a key player to the La Liga tittle win they had last season. Injury has cost them alot and before he got Injured, they also faced the same issues but they weren't exactly the way it was.
Pedri also returned and was played off his position. It affected them during some certain games.

For Robert Lewandoski, I won't bash him or say ill about him, he can pick up the best form at any given time. And in between, you need experience around younger players to pass whatever they know across. Barcelona was my favorite to win the league bit right now, I feel like it's been jinxed.

I heard about this problem at the start of the season, but now it has become more obvious since it is obvious that Girona will be in the top 4 and will get a ticket to the Champions League. But in fact, both clubs will take part in the Champions League, as the owners will pull the same trick that Red Bull did, for example, when Leipzig and Salzburg played in the Champions League at the same time - they simply changed the formal ownership structure and UEFA's claims were settled.
And in general, did you really doubt that such an untouchable club as City would have any problems with such a corrupt organization as UEFA? 

Girona is really getting much more better than anybody had expected of them this season, it's even an outstanding performance as compared to that which they have performed in a very long time, they have so far really done so well this season and that have earned them a really good position on the league table this season.

Indeed gironas performance in the game against atletico was really an exceptional and brilliant one which was very deserving of the winning, they were able to get three points by the end of the game, I was thinking atletico would have won especially with the fact they they actually led in the game earlier and they have been considered as one of the elite teams in the la Liga even before now and they ha e not had a bad performance either this season but then Giron in their new form sent a message across through atletico to other elite teams in the la Liga.

Overall I agree with what you said, one of the reasons why Barcelona's performance has declined is because several of their key players have suffered injuries. even before that, Pedri, De Jong, Ter Steger, Lewandowski and several other players were injured. in the end, Xavi had to use another strategy to overcome the problems that occurred within his camp. unfortunately, the results did not satisfy Xavi as a coach and us as supporters. but at least, currently several key players have returned to the core squad, namely Do Jong and Lewandowski.

IMO, Barcelona actually has quite competitive player depth. even though Gavi has been injured for a long time and Pedri is currently prone to injury, there are other players who can play multi-functionally. De Jong, previously an attacking midfielder. Gundohan, he can play according to the team's needs. Xabi can rely on these two players in the midfield. the rest Xavi can play Sergio Roberto, Fermin Lopez, Oriol Romeu, according to the needs of the team and the system he applies. what Xavi needs to do is make these players play in rhythm according to the system he applies. in particular, Gundohan, De Jong and Romeu. if these three players have a strong bond, then they will play a solid game. on the front lines there are several options, depending on what Xavi wants to play with the sticker he chooses. but ideally, players whose performance is declining must be rotated and given opportunities to other players.

Now, Barcelona has Vitor Roque. even though his debut was unsatisfactory, it's only natural that he only played 12 minutes against Las Palmas. as for Lewandowski, I won't compare him to his time with Bayern Munich. or, now playing at Barcelona. the reason is, Lewan is currently 35. This means that a decline in performance inevitably occurs with age. however, in fact it is still very reliable. well, the point I want to say is, it's all in Xabi as the Architect of Barcelona and how he implements his system and his squad. if Xavi had an ideal strategy and system, Barcelona should not experience the decline it is currently experiencing. therefore, this is homework and also a challenge for Xavi on how to get around it.

Guler was a good during his debut game for the Madrid even though more than much was expected from him but for a first game in a team, he did really good. This only resonates the sermons of how well built up Real Madrid squad is. The young players are definitely an extra advantage to the team's strength. Ancelloti has been able to bring up his boys into more fury and it's exactly what they need to stay strong.

 There's good coordination and the zeal is always up for them. It's very much good that the team has been able to stay strong up until now and they seem undaunted too. It'll be more beautiful to watch these present Madrid perform at their peak even up till next season, the players are gaining good level of experience and it's working out good on them. I think they stand a better chance of winning the Liga this season, their gameplay have really changed beyond how they performed last season.

Although Celta Vigo closed the first half down, they managed to win the match 4-2 with the goals they found in the second half.Celta Vigo had a little bit of difficulty in this match.Celta Vigo may have won the match 4-2, but they didn't have many positions during the match except for the goals.
Sevilla also managed to defeat Racing Ferrol away from home.The opponent was not an easy opponent because we are talking about a team that is currently in 2nd place in the 2nd league.Despite this, he played better than his opponent and won the match with Juanlu Sanchez's goal in the 87th minute.
Villarreal, on the other hand, drew 1-1 away to Salamanca. It is a comedy for me that Villarreal, which has a better squad than its opponent and plays a bit better than its opponent, cannot beat its opponent.

The problem is Barcelona ready and able to pour funds of 40 million to bring a Felix with current financial conditions?
Currently, the value of Felix has actually decreased quite a bit when compared to the previous few seasons, especially by looking at the relationship between Simeone and Felix who still do not really get along, so actually if Barcelona really wants Felix to be at Camp Nou, Atletico will be happy to facilitate negotiations if the price offered is right for them.



Currently the value is only around 40 million for this player and it has greatly decreased compared to the previous 2 seasons so if Barcelona can fulfill the clause then Felix could be in Barcelona uniform and made permanent but with the current situation and with the previous statement then indeed this is still something that is very difficult for Barcelona to do.

Whatever the conditions and no matter how difficult the obstacles, I really believe that Girona will never be able to win the LaLiga title, shifting Real Madrid's position and if that could happen I would say this LaLiga season is very crazy.
In terms of depth of performance, the players and coaches are very different and far superior to Real Madrid and if that could happen it would really be a very crazy history for all fans even though the number of scorers for these two clubs is different and superior to Girona. I think it's all because of Real Madrid. does not have a striker player while Girona has a striker player.
We'll see after this whether Real Madrid is able to get a striker player and if they succeed in bringing in a reliable striker player, everything will change and there will be no more opportunities for Girona.

Sevilla I think is having one if their worst seasons in recent years and the club management must step up to do something about it or see the club suffer relegation at the end of the season. Seville have been absolutely poor in their performances since the start of the season and that's not even in domestic games only but also in Europe as they were the worst team of their own group.

Against Racing Ferrol in the Spanish Copa Dey Rey today, Sevilla really struggled to get that win and I don't think they would've won that game if Ferrol player Manzanara didn't receive the yellow card in the 75th minute of the game. I think the club should sack Sevilla's current manager if they really need to keep progressing.

Sevilla are too bad to expect to win more games this season, but today they were lucky to beat Racing Ferrol with a score of 1-2. Sevilla had to wait a long time to score the winning goal in that match, so they still haven't changed even though Racing Ferrol is not a very strong team.

Barcelona also has an away game today against Barbastro at the Estadio Municipal. This is a match that should be easy for Barcelona and its players, in fact I am sure that Vitor Roque and several young players will get more playing time even though they need to be accompanied by several senior players. Barcelona must win to maintain its chances in the Copa Del Rey this season, but there is no good way to underestimate Barbastro on his home.

I think by now Girona knows that they do have some stakes in the title race. They are not disregarded as a small underdog anymore. What was remarkable about the game against Atletico Madrid was their comeback when Atletico was pressuring and scored the equalizer. I expected Girona to lose steam at that point, but no, they found another solution to score once more and I think that is world class and a positive sign for the rest of their season.

Even though Sevilla dominated the match very well, but Sevilla still conceded by Ferrol in this match and as such, Sevilla still had to work harder just to score the second goal in this match. Even though ya, Ferrol team is play in a LaLiga2 and with that, at least Sevilla should be able to win with a higher score with a clean sheet for example. So ya, with results like this, it will still be difficult for Sevilla to recover because in La Liga the reality is that Sevilla is still close to the relegation zone.

Therefore, this season Sevilla is only trying not to be relegated and Sevilla will of course still be able to achieve this target. Because anyway, Sevilla failure in Europe competitions should have resulted in Sevilla getting better results in domestic competitions in the second half of this season.

I think the decision would be not bad. Joao Felix is doing fine right now and he is doing better than when he was in Chelsea. Their forwards are struggling currently though. Although his La Liga performance isn’t that good, his Uefa Champions League performances are. He scored 3 goals and 1 assist in 3 matches which is very assuring for the Barcelona squad in their match against Napoli in the Round of 16.

In my opinion, Felix deserves to be made permanent by Barcelona. 6 goals and 3 assists in 21 matches in all competitions, is a consideration for Barcelona management to make his status permanent from Atletico Madrid. However, the problem may only be the salary level. Felix was previously willing to cut his salary so he could move to Barcelona. I think the financial crisis that occurred will not cancel Felix move.

I think Felix himself no longer wants to return to Atletico, we still remember his celebration some time ago during the Barcelona versus Atletico meeting, a signal that could be interpreted as that he really doesn't want to return to his parent club. Another loan player who I think should be made permanent is Cancelo, Xavi needs to keep him too, and paid a certain amount of money to Manchester City to make him permanent.

I think the recent bad performance of Barcelona is due to the injury of some of the key players. You said they lack creativity, But look, they lost Gavi to injury. Pedri is also injured. They are the creative midfielders right now and the most key players of the Barcelona squad. I think the forwards are struggling also due to that. But I do believe that Lewandonski is not performing as well as he is to do in Bayern Munich. But I think Barcelona needs him. He can use his experience to win some games for them. A team full of young players can be chaotic sometimes. The new striker who joined is very young so he will be needing guidelines from the senior players as well.

Arda will not immediately get a main place in Real Madrid's line-up this season, especially since Ancelotti has more sensible options. Jude Bellingham is a phenomenal player who is the most decisive for Real Madrid, so Arda Guller might be the second or third option if Real Madrid is very confident of winning the match. In a fierce match, Arda is not an option worth trying, it is risky for Real Madrid.

In my opinion, Arda will have to wait a long time on the bench before Ancelotti is really ready to give him more minutes. This season he has just made his debut, but that was against Arandina in the Copa Del Rey. Ancelotti can give Arda playing minutes in La Liga if Real Madrid has secured victory in an easy match, but on the other hand Ancelotti will choose another player to play until the end if the opponent is really difficult.

Incredible how much Sevilla is strugling in every single game, now for Copa del Rey against a LaLiga 2 team, Racing de Ferrol who is a good team in fact, but the thing here is Sevilla is working so much in every game, is like they dont flow, they need to change this fast to not become again with problems to relegation like the last season.

They already brought in a young player form Brazil league already and he had a chance to play the last few minutes of the game. That Barcelona side though lacks what we call creativity.
No body talking about the polish captain leaving already, he's a higher level and quality player but have seen Injury disturb his form from the start of the new season last year.

Atletico Madrid won yesterday but they struggled in the first half of the game. Soyunku was poor in that defending that lead to the lone goal scored by the player.
Memphis Depay was able to score two Important goals but he still wasn't happy form his looks and body language. There's no way Girona wouldn't have won that game, they played well.

Barcelona finally is making a final decision about their player, João Félix.
João Félix joined Barcelona during the summer but he is playing there on loan and he should leave the team when the loan is over, But it seems Barcelona is now interested it having this player permanently, they asked to have a negotiation with Atletico Madrid about this palyer.

Arda Guller is a player who is expected to have a bright future with Real Madrid, but I think Arda Guller really needs lots of opportunities to prove his abilities. He is still young and of course needs hard work to break into Real Madrid's main squad, but the problem is that he has a tough rival in the team and that is Bellingham. I'm not sure how long it will take Arda Guller to get a main place in the Real Madrid line-up, but maybe he needs to be patient for a few seasons.

Jude Bellingham and Brahim Diaz are two tough contenders for Arda Gullar, but gems will remain in sight should Arda Guller live up to expectations whenever he is given the chance. Arda Guller is Ozil's successor at Real Madrid, but I'm not entirely sure he will get a main place in the squad because of the tough competition.
