from what I see real madrid despite the next games being against teams considered weak like cadiz who in the last 5 games they haven't managed to win in any game, after the game against cadiz, real madrid will have a game against napoli, see that in this game the real madrid coach will have to rotate players, which will also run the risk of losing, but as real madrid has a good lead in the group so they can afford to lose points. but then real madrid will have a game against granada which is another team that is in a bad state, and in the last 5 games they haven't won in any game, so I see that real madrid even with the lack of some players may have a chance of winning

But Real Madrid's problems start after the game against Granada, when they play against Betis, who haven't had any defeat in the last 5 games, I see that in this game Real Madrid have a chance of losing. and then real madrid will have a game against villareal, another team that could make real madrid lose points. Then there will be more teams that can cause loss of points, I'm talking about getafe, las palmas. I see that the next 2 to 3 months will be troubled months for Real Madrid because of these injuries

Barcelona being so close (I don't think girona and ATM will be this good for long) that's a trouble for them and Barcelona may catch up to them if they have some more bad games and losses or even draws.
They already missed Vinicious some part of the season and if they do that again, they are going to have a lot of trouble without a doubt.

I understand that it may not be all that easy stuff, but we need to end up with something that will benefit everyone. Hopefully, it will not be all that difficult to handle, it has to be something simple, it didn't look all that terrible, maybe he is not too badly hurt and he could come back soon enough? Like miss maybe just 1-2 games and play? Real is unlucky with injuries to be fair, that's so sad.

Real Madrid is a very strong team in terms of squad, but there are constant injuries in this squad and the squad is weakened. They cannot prevent this and they are left in a difficult situation. Now Vinicious Jr.'s injury has made things even more difficult. There's something I don't understand about the injury. Why do these injuries last so long? While injuries in other teams heal quickly, the recovery time for injuries in Real Madrid is very long. This situation puts Real Madrid's tempo and squad continuity in a difficult situation.

I don't know if there is a faster recovery process for these types of injuries, but if there is, Real Madrid urgently needs to find a way to recover their injured players quickly.

Personally, I consider Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid as favourites for the La Liga title. However, I would put Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid slightly ahead of Barcelona. The squads of these two teams are quite strong this season and their performances are also regular.
I'm of the same opinion with yours, Barcelona in their most recent form doesn't look like they would be able to make it to the top of the table soonest lest alone becoming the champions this season, they were much better earlier but since after the match against Real Madrid they seem to have dropped in their performance.

Real Madrid have continually showed some kind of consistency which has been maintained till this point that they are now no the top of the table and even looking very promising with the league title this season, they also have similar performance at the champions league and may want to contend to win the UCL aswell, Athletico Madrid is aswell do good with their performance and currently look better when compared to Barcelona.

You are right, Barcelona's recent performances have not been very consistent. The team relies on Lewandowski to score. But Lewandowski's performance is now erratic. This is why Barcelona lost points in several matches. Barcelona's overall performance needs to be more stable if they want to win the title. If not, the Barcelona team will fall further behind in the competition with Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Girona.

Real Madrid midfielder Bellingham has been performing brilliantly in every match. This is why Real Madrid's attack is a bit weak, but the team's performance is very consistent. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid have a lot of talented players in the forward. So Atletico Madrid is also able to continue to perform well and consistently.
One issue I have with Barcelona as a team is the fact that they do not have a consistent striker. As right said, Lewandowsky has been a bit erratic with his performance and I may owe it to the fact that he returned from an injury spell to a team that had Joax Felix performing better than before.
Its just a striker problem and I don't still think Xavi has a perfect option yet.
Real Madrid will be looking to sign a striker as soon as the transfer windows open because Bellingham can't just do it alone, despite the good performance of the team so far.
I have a different opinion that if you say Lewandowski is not a consistent striker but look at how he performed before he injured his leg and he always makes a great contribution and it's all because of the support and strong chemistry from other players like Felix and other players.
Meanwhile, Felix had a very good performance because there was support from Lewandowski and in fact after Lewandowski's performance declined, Felix also experienced a decline in performance because there was no strong support from the striker and don't worry, even though Real Madrid will look for the best striker, Xavi is still able to compete with the players which exists.

La Liga dominance teams only Real Madrid and Barcelona but Atletico Madrid ever won in season 2020/21, although last two season La Liga dominance by Real Madrid and Barcelona who take turns winning with Madrid season 2021/22 then Barcelona on last season. Good appreciated by Atletico Madrid management give extended contract from their manager Diego Simione will extend until June 2027 after his contributing winning two La Liga tittle.
Yes. In each season, there are only 3 teams which compete for the titles. Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid too dominate the La Liga competition. They are too strong, other teams have no capability to compete with them. Well, it was quite surprising that Atletico Madrid could win the title in the season 2020-2021. And for this season, we have Girona which is leading the La Liga standings now. Will Girona win the La Liga title this season? If they win the title, it will be a big surprise for this season. However, TBH I a bit doubt it.
The 3 teams mentioned are indeed the holders of dominance in La Liga, they take turns to be able to get a title. But in certain seasons there will be one team emerging as their competitor, such as Sevilla, although in the end they also had to lose consistency and could only return to 4th place. This season another team has emerged, Girona, who are currently at the top of the table. Whether they will have the same fate as Sevilla is something to look forward to.

It is very difficult for a team like Girona to win the La Liga title. There is no doubt that they are top of the table and doing very well. But we are not sure if the team will be able to do well in the long run. If you want to win the La Liga title, there must be consistency in performance. And to play consistently well until the end of the season. It will be difficult for Girona to maintain consistency if a key player in their squad suffers an injury. But it will be a miracle if Girona are champions.

Personally, I consider Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid as favourites for the La Liga title. However, I would put Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid slightly ahead of Barcelona. The squads of these two teams are quite strong this season and their performances are also regular.
The only way for Girona to win the La Liga trophy apart from having to consistently get points is a decline in the performance of the three teams, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Apart from the above scenario I doubt they can do it, and expecting the three favorite clubs to decline in terms of performance is not a good idea for Girona.

Personally, I am also very impressed with their improvement in performance this season, perhaps this is also felt by everyone who is enjoying the competition in the top four of the La Liga standings this season. It is not an easy matter to try to top the standings and create a points gap with the three favorite clubs that I mentioned earlier, but Michel squad has so far been able to do it.

It will be very interesting to see how Girona journey ends this season, after seeing how they struggle to get 3 points in every match, I am quite sure they will take the step to join the UCL next season by finishing in the top four of the standings. However, they must be very careful in the january transfer market, so as not to lose their players to move and leave the club.
If there is a huge name being shouted in La Liga this season, it's Girona, this is a spiced-up competition that is always deserving in football and in any other matches. Girona right now is an underdog that only haters would want their decline in form, and of course, you are right that the less-performing clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid cause this. But still don't forget that it has mostly been like that where these clubs would just be dragging between losses and winning and would not have so spectacular performances for the season but one of them would still lift the trophy simply because there was no much competition, or should I call it a challenge from the lesser team like what Girona brought up.

Frankly, the case of Girona simply baffles me and the lovers of football, the good performance coupled with luck are just shining upon them. Just a season ago before the last one they got promoted to the first division and were able to finish at the 10th position which I believe was just a way to get acquainted with La Liga. And now, they gave it a good chase and have been beating any club that comes their way. Continuing like this in the next 3-4 months might really guarantee their spot for the UCL which they might not dream of so soon.

Not having a player up front who can be a target for Real Madrid's attack has been one of their weaknesses this season, and while Jude Bellingham can cover that gap, it stil doesn't solve the real problem. After all, they need players who are ready to pick up passes and create space up front. Mbappe could be the answer to that, but as of now, the rumor mill is still in a state of flux. If they get one of these plyers, I think they'll be stronger and more prepared for every match.
Injuries are the main enemy for all clubs, and it's always the reason why clubs struggle.
The truth is that for now we're too fixated on the fact that Madrid don't have a pure striker and we're always making a big deal out of it, but if we look at the progress thats been made theres something else that we don't realize: Madrid are the second most prolific club in La Liga (Girona being the first) in terms of goals scored and the most solid club with the fewest goals conceded to date. Indeed a pure striker is one thing that is good for a big club like Madrid but with the current situation I don't think they need to rush too much with their condition which is still very good now especially since they will also have a new coach next season which could be that the striker bought now is not too suitable for the new coach so it is likely that if this continues to run smoothly until the end of this season,they will still stick with the same scheme but on the other hand sooner or later a pure striker will definitely be owned because this is just a transitional phase where Madrid really wants to try something new while preparing their future plans.
I agree that in recruiting a player they should not be hasty, because later it could hurt them too. Moving quickly and rushing in my opinion is something different, because by moving quickly they are certain to have thought about and considered the abilities possessed by the players they will recruit.
So far their goal scoring proclivity can be covered by other players who can be the difference, such as Jude Bellingham. But the problem is when there is a deadlock experienced by players who have always been the difference that must also be considered.

The absence of Frenkie de Jong has been a significant factor, as he has been a key player in providing stability and balance in the middle of the park. De Jong's ability to control the tempo of the game and distribute the ball effectively has been sorely missed. De Jong's presence provides stability and balance to the midfield, allowing Gavi and İlkay Gündoğan to operate more effectively in advanced positions. Barcelona's inability to find a cohesive balance between their midfield and attacking units has been a main concern this season.

Xavi Hernandez faces the challenge of revitalizing Barcelona's variations of attacks. He knows that they can't play the same way season after season that makes them so predictable. Right now they dont have a super star who can make difference when they stuck in the game. Reinstating the tiki-taka approach and encouraging the wingers to prioritize team play will be crucial for Barcelona's success.
Several La Masia academy players can still help Xavi carry out the same tactics as Barcelona before. Of course, some adjustments to the strategy are needed because the biggest problem Barcelona faces is when the opposing team implements a total defensive strategy while expecting a counterattack. De Jong can provide balance, Pedri and Ilkay will strengthen in achieving stability, but the problem is that De Jong still has to struggle with his injury.

It is hoped that the use of wingers with a tiki taka strategy will help Barcelona get their best form this season. Lamine Yamal or Raphinha, who operates on the right, often disrupts the opponent's defense, as does Joao Felix on the left wing. Barcelona's two fullback this season could also be an added value to support Xavi's strategy, namely Joao Cancelo and Alejandro Balde.

They haven't found enough balance in the team, they haven't linked well with the midfielder's and attackers, Frankie De Jong absence have affected them alot, he's been the perfect man for the defensive midfielder role even if he's not more of the aggressive player. He brings balance and that quality improves the game of Gavi and IIkay Gundogan in midfied ahead of him.
If that's solve, the midfielder's will link up correctly with Robert Lewandoski and he'll begin scoring goals for Barcelona.

Xavi Hernandez also has to address his winger's, they're becoming more of a selfish team that the tiki taka system we know Barcelona plays. Those winger's should learn to create goal chances for Robert Lewandoski. Even if he just returned from Injury, I won't blame him, he's always been a top quality player.

Real Madrid are two points ahead of Barcelona, but they are not top of the table, as Girona is also two points ahead of them.
 At this stage, it is not worth saying that Real is significantly superior to Barcelona, because the teams are close and Barcelona can bypass Real in any round. But I agree that Real looks better on the field now, but as far as we are concerned, this is still not enough to translate this into results.

Real Madrid is maybe in second place in La Liga but the fact about Real Madrid this season is they don't have a complete team and they have real problems in La Liga because Real Madrid is a team they don't have a good finisher and striker after Karim Benzema left Real Madrid, they were waiting for Mbappe and this is a reason to see Real Madrid in this Situation and mostly the other players like Jude Bellingham are trying score goals is this team.

It seems Ancelotti knows that, if Bellingham get injured then he has other options at there, but Real Madrid current situation is not good. Because two other players have also been confirmed have suffered injuries during the international break, although Real Madrid will not face a top team in the upcoming match. Because if according to the schedule they will face against Cadiz, which is a team that is not too strong in La Liga. But even so, the Cadiz team should not be underestimated because in several previous meetings 21/22 the Cadiz team was able to make a surprise them with a draw result.

Meeting a weaker team doesn't mean that the club will not be affected if their key players are injured. No matter how inconsistent or backwards a team is they should never be underrated. Belingham has been of great performance for sometimes now and I think Real Madrid should find a replacement for him on time should incase of injury so that his absence might not be of great concern to his team. No matter how good a player is, making provision for him should incase he isn't fit for a match should be an utmost duty of a coach as they can't rely to comfortably on any players performance as uncertain things are meant to happen. Take a look at Manchester city despite the fact that their key midfielder Kelvin De Bryune has been out due to injury for sometimes now but yet the club is still doing well because they've got replacement for him.

Agree, if Real Madrid is said to be superior. Because without a top 9 striker, they can still have consistent performance. In terms of play, Real Madrid can rely on Bellingham, who incidentally is not a striker, but he can be the best playmaker this season.
Real Madrid, if they get Mbappe in the January transfer window, will probably be unbeatable. And I think they can dominate La Liga and maybe the UCL events, especially in the hands of the truly genius Ancelotti, Real Madrid will be far superior.
It's just that currently Real Madrid is being hit by a storm of injuries, it was a bad situation for them.

Because Real Madrid has a midfielder who also has very good quality, then of course if Real Madrid gets Mbappe it will make Real Madrid very good. But yes, even if for example Real Madrid still fails to bring Mbappe, then bringing Osimhen also remains a good option for Real Madrid. Because after all, Osimhen is also a forward player who has hardworking characteristics so ya, when Osimhen gets a good supply from the midfielders, Real Madrid will still have a good finishing too. Therefore, I think maybe even though Mbappe is the main option but if Real Madrid still fails to sign him, of course Real Madrid can still bring in other good striker.

In terms of budget, Girona is not a team with as cheap a budget as mentioned, it is in the top ten in La-Liga. They seem to have achieved stability for now, but we are still in the early days of the season. I think their stability will be broken and then they will not provide this stability again.

I hope I am wrong, because it would be very interesting if Girona dominates the league in the season when there are such valuable clubs. They have managed to do it for now, but the important thing is to spread it over time, of course, I think they are not a team with enough experience.

I don't expect Girona to thwart Real Madrid and Barcelona's dominance this season, but it could happen and who knows. Girona have been very convincing so far considering their form and consistency, but they cannot be allowed to go without a hitch all season if Real Madrid and Barcelona are to win the title.

But following the storm of injuries experienced by Real Madrid, Girona looks like they will be able to maintain their top position by winning more easy matches. To be honest, I still find it hard to believe what they did this season, for me it is something that was unimaginable before. I will be waiting for them in a tough match because it is very possible for Girona to lose like they did against Real Madrid.

Yes, maybe right now Real Madrid can still rely on Jude Bellingham to maintain the balance of the team's performance, but currently Bellingham is suffering from an injury which means Real Madrid shouldn't just rely on one player because one day we don't know if the player they always rely on will experience something unexpected.
Carlo Ancletti must have other options so he can help Jude Bellingham to maintain team consistency, with several players experiencing injury problems at Real Madrid
It seems Ancelotti knows that, if Bellingham get injured then he has other options at there, but Real Madrid current situation is not good. Because two other players have also been confirmed have suffered injuries during the international break, although Real Madrid will not face a top team in the upcoming match.

But even so, the Cadiz team should not be underestimated because in several previous meetings 21/22 the Cadiz team was able to make a surprise them with a draw result.
I'm sure Carlo Ancletti is thinking about plans to recruit talented players in the upcoming transfer market and maybe Mbappe was not left out of Carlo Anclotti choice because Anclotti really needs a striker like Mbappe.
If Mbappe doesn't renew his contract, maybe Real Madrid will bring him to the club, but if Mbappe extends his contract at PSG, I think Real Madrid will still recruit him even though they have to spend a lot of money on this player.
Surely, Ancelotti must have other alternatives player, and in the winter transfer window he must find another great player. For next game, Ancelotti will use their second tier players, including Joselu who will probably play as a starter in Real Madrid starting line up. By the way, peviously Joselu performance in the Spanish national team was not too bad, he got one assist and one goal there.

Not only Bellingham, but Rodrygo as well. With Vini Jr. and Camavinga out due to injury till February. I don't think it will be a huge challenge for Real Madrid to win their next games. Even after Vinicius suffered his first injury, Real Madrid was still able to manage and win their matches. However, I do not think it will be simple to be strong as they are before, because when Real Madrid played Atletico Madrid, they lost because Vinicius was not there to disturb them. With Bellingham, I think they can still give it their all and win any match, losing is not the best thing for them, especially when Girona is already leading the league, they need to try and win their games.

Since Vinicius is out due to injury and there isn't a strong player like him to play the position, Real Madrid's best thing to do, is to sign Mbappe by January. However, I'm not sure if Madrid will consider signing Mbappe. Any team that signs him is going to be paying out a lot of money.

One issue I have with Barcelona as a team is the fact that they do not have a consistent striker. As right said, Lewandowsky has been a bit erratic with his performance and I may owe it to the fact that he returned from an injury spell to a team that had Joax Felix performing better than before.
Its just a striker problem and I don't still think Xavi has a perfect option yet.
Real Madrid will be looking to sign a striker as soon as the transfer windows open because Bellingham can't just do it alone, despite the good performance of the team so far.

That's why international matches feel almost as intense as going to war between countries. It's nerve-wracking both ways, but that's our football – they've to perform duties on both the international and club stages. Unfortunately, Real Madrid's injury list just keeps getting longer. This time, Vinícius Jr will be out for at least two and a half months after getting a thigh injury against Colombia match. It's bad news, but Madrid has to keep going. Let's just hope that, no matter how tough it gets, Madrid will still manage to survive it.
This was news I really didn't want to hear, but it couldn't be helped because it all happened. Player injuries are something that will be very worrying for all teams, including Real Madrid. Vinicius is a reliable winger who is able to create many goal opportunities for his team to win, but unfortunately we have to lose him for a while until his injury problem is resolved.

Concerns about injuries suffered by Real Madrid's main players at this time will clearly increase. I hope the team's performance won't be too affected as long as the other players are able to do their job well, but still the team and its game will be affected by the injury problem. To date, 8 Real Madrid players have suffered injuries. It is a big challenge for Ancelotti to maintain his team's form while this player is injured, but I am very worried that the injuries suffered by Vinicius and Bellingham will make Real Madrid's attack power even weaker. Joselu and Rodrygo cannot always be expected, but I just hope for the best because if not then Real Madrid will very likely lose in the next few matches.

You may not believe it, but the total value of Girona's squad, the team leading La Liga, is just over 160 million euros, which is equal to the amount of money Real Madrid spent to buy the duo Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga. Girona is becoming a phenomenon in La Liga this season, surpassing Real Madrid and Barca to take the top spot. What an extraordinary thing. Why do they do such miracles? In my opinion, Girona's ability to win La Liga is still low. But their chance of reaching the top 4 means they will qualify for the Champions League next season, and the crazy scenario of them winning the championship could also happen.

Real Madrid and Barca's performance is still quite similar. On Barca's side, their poor performance is due to their recent injury to Lewandowski. They will fix this situation soon.

I believe you because those are the true facts about Girona. Miguel Ángel Sánchez Muñoz or known as Míchel is a tactician who is starting to get public attention. He managed to turn Girona into the most consistent team in La Liga in his second season since being promoted, that is an great record from him.

But you also have to know that Girona is not the only team with a low market value even though the value is lower than Mbappe or Haaland at the moment. Girona is the 10th most expensive team participating in La Liga this season, they are only more expensive than Celta Vigo, Osasuna and 8 other teams.

In terms of budget, Girona is not a team with as cheap a budget as mentioned, it is in the top ten in La-Liga. They seem to have achieved stability for now, but we are still in the early days of the season. I think their stability will be broken and then they will not provide this stability again.

I hope I am wrong, because it would be very interesting if Girona dominates the league in the season when there are such valuable clubs. They have managed to do it for now, but the important thing is to spread it over time, of course, I think they are not a team with enough experience.
