Barcelona won La Liga tittle last season indeed have financial problem and likely they have compete to defend domestic league tittle in this season with the same financial trouble facing. For this season Barcelona success signed Ikay Gundogan from Manchester City with free transfer and make Barcelona have solid composition in midfielder. Not only with opportunity for defending their La Liga tittle but also Barcelona still get place in Champion League round of 16 and excited to know how long round for Barcelona will qualify.
Less fund I doubt Barcelona have decision for signing new player in winter transfer, actually Barcelona need recovery on many position but difficult with financial make them have finding players with free agent for signing.

Ancelotti still sees deficiencies in the defense area, so he wants Varane to rejoin the squad, I think it is a basic decision for Ancelotti, because Varane himself is a former foster child who certainly knows very well the character of the player he wants.
But the problem is as you say, Manchester United itself is not in a good condition, and Varane is one of the players that Manchester United relies on, I'm not sure Manchester United will want to keep this player, unless they can get a replacement that is commensurate or better than Varane.
Real Madrid's urgent need is in their attacking line, but at the moment they are quite relaxed, I have the thought they have confirmed that they will get the 1 player they need so they can be this relaxed. And the closest and most highly rumored is Mbappe, will it happen?

A change of manager arises due to various reasons which could range from the performance of the Coach to the coach decision to leaving the team at the end of their contract probably because they are no longer fine with the terms of the team or maybe the team is no longer given an atmosphere good enough for the coach to be able to work effectively.

In the case of Ancelotti I think it was a decision made by him to exit at the end of his contract but then it seems the team is still pleased with his performance and are not willing to let him go just yet so they had to negotiate with him into renewal of his contract but what he personally wanted was to be with the Brazilian team but then I'm sure he will still achieve some more trophies with Madrid on this his renewed contract. He has spent some good time with the team so he seem to understand them well enough and that's why he works better with them more than an new coach will do almost immediately.

I would also say that Girona is currently still much better than Barcelona and even Barcelona itself is not able to beat Atletico Madrid in the standings after eighteen matches even though it is able to equal points with Atletico Madrid. Now Real Madrid is even competing with Girona for the top spot this season, although I personally am still quite confident that Real Madrid could be the most successful team in La Liga this season by winning trophies.

Everyone really needs to see this in order to be able to measure the strength of the two teams after passing through this month of January, because we will also see the level of difficulty that the two teams will have when they return to compete in the Champions League this season. The round of 16 is quite an important round for all teams so each team will definitely do better to cover up their difficulties so far.

This Friday i was interested to see the match between Sevilla vs Bilbao and we all know Sevilla was not in the good shape because they have to fight to avoiding relegation zone and recently Sevilla also was eleminate at champion league and this also caused why Sevilla have to change the manager several times this season and their opponent Bilbao was in the good shape compared to them because this team so far can gets 10 wins and only lose 3 times from 18 matches and the latest is Bilbao can able to stole 1 point at Girona home ground

On Laliga Sevilla last winning at home was happened on September when they beat Almeria with big scores 5-1 and since that match Sevilla was never able to gets the winning results again at home they even only gets 4 draw and 1 lose from Getafe and for Bilbao actually their away matches records isn't too impressive because so far they only gets 3 wins from away matches but compared to Sevilla their performance is still far better and about team condition Bilbao still rely on Gorka Guruzeta as centre striker and so far he is Bilbao top scorer with 8 goals along with Inaki Williams and my predictions is Bilbao will going to win this match and the odds for Bilbao looks very good @2.29

But what does "quite strong" even mean in the world of football when there are teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid and everyone in Barcelona wants maximum success? I think that is when the moment has come to speak the truth and the truth is that Barcelona is not at that level of the other strongest teams. You could say that most likely Girona is better off than them at the moment.

But we will have some insight on this interesting question when Barcelona plays the game in the Champions League against Barcelona. When you say that they are still quite strong, I guess they should not have too many problems to beat a struggling Napoli.

Barcelona squad this season is still quite strong, but they seem to have lost their balance in several matches, such as against Girona, where Barcelona had to give up at home. In the second half of this season, if there are no changes made by Xavi, of course Barcelona will have difficulty maintaining their ranking. Girona is quite strong this season and they have even managed to beat Barcelona so Barcelona must be able to evaluate their weak points so that they can be corrected in the transfer market.

Real Madrid is also quite consistent, they have succeeded in taking over the leadership of the standings from Girona, but for now both teams have collected the same points. So, in the upcoming match, Girona will face Atletico madrid again. Of course, if they want to regain the top of the standing, Girona must beat Atletico madrid.

After Ancelotti contract extension with Real Madrid, several interesting rumors have also spread, namely that there are attempts to bring in defenders on short contracts or on loan.
He is Manchester United player Raphael Varane, after all, Ancelotti desire to bring in the Manchester United defender has also been confirmed.
It just that we don't know whether Manchester United will actually loan out the defender they have or keep him because Manchester United itself is not in good condition this season.

Bringing in defenders is actually not priority for Real Madrid and of course without bringing in Raphael Varane they can still play well.
In addition, in the next few matches, we will only play against team that are not much stronger than them, so using the composition of reserve players have will definitely still be able to provide maximum performance.

I think the rumors about Ancelotti going to Brazil at the end of the season really fooled most people and that includes me because however looking at what happened it was actually a bit convincing especially when there were some statements from the media and of course people who have interests in Brazil that resulted in this being a surprise because Ancelotti extended his current contract.
But now the clarity is there and now Madrid don't need to mess around about coaching issues because indirectly this has actually become a hill that Madrid still entrusts everything to Xavi including his future projects which indeed prioritize young players who have good potential.

Now we just need to wait how Ancellotti continues to manage Madrid especially with the situation of players who still have many gaps due to injuries.
This season is still a good season for Madrid but looking at the events of last season Madrid disaster occurred in the middle towards the end of the season and this needs to be noticed by Ancelotti at least he must find some alternatives to anticipate this so that the incident last season does not happen this season. 

Asides from his passing skills and football intelligent quotient, Marcos Alonso has nothing more to offer anymore, he has won a lot of trophies already from his time with Chelsea and has worked with so many talented managers.
I do feel like it's time to let him go, they should set up a good meeting and terminate his contract on mutual agreement. He is slow and not pacy. Football lately needs a very pacy fullback and his not that kind of player. I remember how Jordi Alba dominated that role for Barcelona. Barcelona should get someone like that.

They shouldn't invest in old players, Balde looks good but I don't understand his drop in performance. With the new addition in attack, Barcelona can score more goals now. But they should get a new defensive midfielder.

Despite being in financial crisis, Barcelona team managed to win the title last season. Because their squad was strong enough. But there are several weaknesses within their squad this season. Players are facing injuries. As a result, Barcelona's defense is now quite shaky. Together they depend on Lewandowski to score. If Lewa does not perform well, it will be difficult for Barcelona to win the match. The team is not getting the expected performance from Gundogan. Barcelona will need to prepare big funds in the winter transfer window if they want to stabilize the squad. If not, they will not be able to fight for the title this season.

Ancelotti had stated before he received the new contract that he was more comfortable with Real Madrid, so it was not surprising that Ancelotti ended up staying until 2026 with Real madrid. Of course, Ancelotti stay with Real Madrid breaks all the rumors regarding his future and also breaks the rumor that Real Madrid is looking at Xabi Alonso as his replacement. So, with that, we will see a change that Ancelotti will make to bring Real madrid back to being champions in Laliga and also in the Champions League.

Well, this season Real Madrid has managed to make a quite successful transition from old players to young players and it was all done under Ancelotti coaching. I think Ancelotti sees Real Madrid potential as the strongest team currently available, therefore he is staying there to win a few more trophies. He is also 64 years old and it is very likely that he will choose to retire with Real Madrid in his coaching career.

I was also equally surprised by the news that Carlo Ancelotti had apparently extended his contract at Real Madrid again. Because since last season the issue of Carlo Ancelotti leaving Real Madrid when his contract ends and becoming coach of the Brazilian national team has been very hotly discussed. Even the news that appeared at that time also looked convincing. So I also started to believe this. But fortunately this is just an issue. Because now the reality is that Carlo Ancelotti has extended his contract for 2 years.

Real Madrid is clearly not ready to be abandoned by a great coach like Carlo Ancelotti who has overseen Real Madrid for 5 seasons (sorry if I'm wrong). And Carlo Ancelotti has awarded many trophies to Real Madrid in those 5 seasons. There are around 10 titles that Real Madrid has won under the coaching of Carlo Ancelotti, namely 2 titles in the Champions League, 2 titles in the Club World Cup, 2 titles in the European Super Cup, 1 title in the Spanish League, 2 titles in the Copa del Rey , and 1 Spanish Super Cup.

Well, that's an extraordinary achievement and it might even be difficult to find a replacement for a coach as great as him. So this news will definitely be welcomed by all Real Madrid fans.

Barcelona are in a dire situation and it’s quite unfortunate that Xavi is caught up in the midst of this. He wouldn’t be able to make the key signings he wants and with this current squad, he’s not achieving his best as he wants and that can be quite demoralizing for a team that won the league the previous season, well apart from financial crisis they also got hit my injury crisis which has been a big setback for them this season.

 His hopes is in probably free signings or low amount signings which most times doesn’t prove to be effective and it’s quite crazy. Well he could try to free up some players and that way get some money for himself to make a key and major signing. With this squad, I don’t think Barcelona will be coming close to winning any trophy this season as even Girona is one team that’s not joking too in the La Liga and moreover there’s still an Atletico who can hit on them hard.

Real Madrid's condition is not in a poor position because their current strength is still strong enough to compete in La Liga, however this is talking about jersey number 9 and so far they have not yet determined a suitable replacement to replace the previous player. There are times when Real Madrid's front line is unable to score goals and this is a consideration why in the upcoming transfer market they have to bring in another striker as a step to maximize the front line.

Joselu is not the typical player that Ancelotti likes and he only started a few games. Mbappe would be a solution for the front, but we never know what his condition will be like now. Belligham cannot be forced to continue scoring goals because there are times when he will stop for various reasons and if that happens Real Madrid must have other options.

I was actually a little surprised to see that he has extended his contract. Because I thought he was going to Brazil as the coach. But I guess he thinks he still has a lot to gain with Real Madrid. That's why he has extended his contract till 2026. Now I think Real Madrid is going to have a good and successful next couple of years as well. I also wonder if he will be able to bring in Mbappe into the squad. If he does, it is definitely going to be insane. Let's see what kind of squad he builds in the next couple of years. Expecting at least one champion's trophy as long as he is here.a

Maybe yes, maybe no. Girona has very bad record against altetico madrid. I can't use it as my data to determine whether girona will be win or lose but i knew that most important thing if girona will perform with the best squad.
The situation may undergo a remarkable transformation due to Girona's decision to give their all against Atletico Madrid. Bookies were favoring girona slightly to win the game against atletico madrid. It seems they have learned from the match between girona vs barcelona.

The bookies employed that result as a means of gauging Girona's strength relative to Atletico Madrid, but I have a suspicion that historical factors heavily influenced the outcome of this match.
The draw seems to yield a favorable outcome for both clubs, as they can aid Real Madrid in firmly holding onto the top position this time. Atletico madrid was the strongest rival for real madrid. Im sure girona will face difficulty in beating atletico madrid.
These clubs will be playing safely or they will be feeling so good to have draw as the main resut. Michel needs to put the main concern on the defensive line.

Atletico madrid was a club that's very often in using counter attack.

It is difficult for Xavi to bring in new players, while Barcelona finances are very bad, currently they can only wait for free players from the transfer market and can free players really be relied on for their skills? sometimes they are even old, like some of the Barcelona players who were brought in for free at that time.
I dont doubt the performance or skill of free players but wouldn't it be better to bring in players at a price that isn't too high who can make a good contribution to the team to be able to strengthen the defense or attack line for the team but back to finances Barcelona can't bring in quality players like us expect.

maybe if this season Barcelona can't win the La Liga title I will understand because the condition of this team is really in a bad condition and this is a difficult burden for Xavi to be able to try to reach the top of the standings with the existing players and these injured players maybe not before. It is expected, but injury can happen at any time if you cannot maintain your physical condition. but I hope that there are big investors who invest in Barcelona to get quality players.

regarding the competition at the top of the standings, it doesn't matter to me if Barcelona can't compete in La Liga or in La Liga because there are already representatives from Real madrid who will beat Girona and hopefully at least get runners up.

This is very bad news for Barcelona because they are losing key players, and I believe that is why they are not performing well this season. I believe that Barcelona will not be able to compete with Real Madrid and Girona this season because they are not in the form that allowed them to win the La Liga trophy last season. Xavi should simply try to sign some new players this summer to strengthen the team and compete with other clubs. Barcelona is facing Las Palmas, and I feel the match will be a bonus for them because they are not in good enough shape to compete with Barcelona. I believe they will collect three points and surpass Athletico Madrid in the league table if they failed to defeat Girona, Although the match will be very difficult because Girona are in great form and are serious about winning the league this season but Athletico Madrid can defeat them if they will play more then them. But I still believe that laliga trophy this season is for Real Madrid.

It's not a bad news for barcelona. You can take a look at his stats with barcelona. He was rarely playing with the club and it means he has not become the main choice by xavi. Marcos will be leaving from barcelona with free agent. Xavi is not caring more about him.
Barcelona prefers to use other RB rather than him like cancelo. cancelo consistently becomes the starting line up for barcelona. The absence of marcos alonso will not give impact to the performance from the club.

Barcelona is still owning some good RB to play which is also helping the club. This is not a serious problem encountered by barcelona. I would try to sell marcos before he was injured but yeah since it's impossible to predict the future.
The better if xavi puts his focus on to the other thing like provide a good striker for barcelona since lewandowski is not good like what he used to be. The era of him is finished.

GWS for marcos but this guy seems has not place anymore in the barcelona right now. Xavi is rarely putting him as starting line up.
