The decline in Barcelona's performance cannot be separated from the fact that many of their main players are injured and this team does not have substitute players who have equal quality to maintain the team's performance so that it can become like now, this is quite unfortunate because this makes Barcelona even further behind.

I agree that the decrease of Barcelona performance is caused by too many injured players. Some of them are the key players like Lewandowski, Kounde, Pedri, Frank de Jong, and Raphinha. However, some of them have recovered now, Lewandowski and Raphinha have played yesterday. But they need time to be back to their best shape. It is not easy to play again with their best after they spend much time for the recovery.

I think, losing Dembele and Ansu Fati also contributes to the decrease of Barcelona performance. I still remember that these players often give the difference when they played in big matches in the previous season. I am a bit confused why Xavi doesn't need them anymore. Xavi may not know that losing them will bring a big impact.

I think this El Clasico is not ideal considering that many players in Xavi squad are injured, and those who have just recovered are not yet fully 100% fit. On the other hand, Xavi took quite a big risk when determining the starting XI yesterday, which turned out to be true because he had to admit the greatness of the strategy implemented by Ancelotti. Dembele and Ansu Fati were released because Xavi wanted several players like Felix and Cancelo and to make room for young players like Yamal.

Regardless from this defeat, Barcelona also still has a chance to retain the La Liga trophy, the difference in points is not too big and it is still reasonable to catch up in the following weeks. On the other hand, Madrid is in top form at the moment, so it's not easy to beat them, especially with a player like Bellingham.

There must be a winner in any game, and the winner take advantage of the weakness of their opponent to win the game. Barcelona were strong in the first half even without those players that had injury. It was ancelotti strategy that overpowered Xavi's plan in the second half, immediately he made those changes and brought in Joselu.

Bellingham is the man of the match as he made proper use of his opportunities to make sure that Real Madrid won the match. He is such an outstanding player that came not quite long and scored the two goals that made Real Madrid to see themselves better than Barcelona. He also scored in his first El Classico, in fact it was a great week for Bellingham, as he also scored in last week UCL.

Barcelona definitely has a chance, a big chance to win La Liga title. Because the season has started not very long ago. So Barcelona can actually still be able to perform well and reduce the difference between them and Real Madrid. Barcelona only has one problem that is they are facing a lot of issues with the players being injured. That definitely can be a big problem for Barcelona going forward.

And meanwhile, Real Madrid is performing really well. Even though they are facing some problems because they do not have a very good striker, to be honest, Jude Bellingham is doing the work.

If we talk about the opportunity to win La Liga, of course there is still and there are even several teams that still have the chance to win La Liga now because this season is still very long and anything is still possible to happen.

Exactly, Barcelona has a chance to win laliga, but I don't see any other team winning the league this season If it is not Real Madrid, I am not talking because I am a Real Madrid fan, but based on how Real Madrid is playing this season you can say that they can win the league because only Barcelona can stop Real Madrid in this laliga this season and now Real Madrid are leading them with 4 points in the table and Ancelotti will try his best to continue topping the league and next week Real Madrid face Rayo Vallecano at the Santiago Bernabéu, and I am confident that Real Madrid will win.

Barcelona will face Real Sociedad in a challenging encounter since Real Sociedad has been doing well this season and it would be difficult for Barcelona to win against them Real Sociedad will try to draw with Barcelona, but Xavi will do his best to win the game so that they can continue chasing the league trophy with Real Madrid, If Barcelona makes any mistakes against Real Sociedad in their next match, I predict that they will lose hope of competing with Real Madrid because they will leave them with large gaps in the league table.

Barcelona on the other hand are getting weak, last Girona finished at number 10th in the standing, lost 3 times of matches that Barcelona lose but I'm astonished to see how they have point than Barcelona and even have similar number of loss this season with Real Madrid and Barcelona, what is that ingredients they have that we are not seeing.

The decline in Barcelona's performance cannot be separated from the fact that many of their main players are injured and this team does not have substitute players who have equal quality to maintain the team's performance so that it can become like now, this is quite unfortunate because this makes Barcelona even further behind.
But when it comes to Girona, they really made a big surprise this season and this is beyond what many people expected.

Barcelona was unlucky in El Clasico this time, Xavi was unable to play several of his mainstay players due to injuries that befell them. Barcelona also conceded in the final minutes when Bellingham scored his second goal and put Real Madrid in front over Barcelona. The Barcelona player failed to control Bellingham's movement which left him free to stand in front of Ter Stegen before his touch directed the ball into the goal.
Girona has become the new dark horse team in La Liga, its consistent performance is able to place itself among the teams competing for the title. Girona's performance has been extraordinary this season, but it is not certain that they will be able to maintain this kind of performance until the end of the season.

Although Barcelona lost against Real Madrid, but this is not the end of Barcelona. Because in previous matches Barcelona became a team that was still unbeaten in La Liga. in my opinion Bcarcelona seemed to experience problems in the second half so that Real Madrid became more aggressive and attacked continuously to Barcelona so that Real Madrid could win the match with a goal scored by Bellingham in the second half. This makes Real Madrid even stronger in its position, but apart from that there is Girona who has the same points as Real Madrid. This is not the end for Real Madrid, they still have to fight to maintain their position as the strongest team this season.

Real Madrid's performance is always good and maximum in every match, coupled with the presence of their young player Bellingham who always scores goals to become the top scorer this season. the luck that comes to Real Madrid at this time because of the presence of this young player has a big good impact. So will Real Madrid be the champions this season. I don't support any team but I enjoy every football match with its good moments. Whichever team wins will have no impact on me, so I just enjoy the game.

It's not fair to say that Real Madrid would have scored more goals if they had another striker because whenever Real Madrid has a main striker, Bellingham might be repositioned and if he is repositioned he won't score as much as he did this time. .

I really appreciated what you said, and I totally agree. Many people believe that without Bellingham's skills, Real Madrid would lose the match or many other matches just becausehe scored.
But, if you think that one player can create so many chances and score so many goals without a solid tactic and the collective effort of other players to create those opportunities, you are mistaken. Real Madrid has now managed to win against Barcelona and performed well in my opinion, especially after scoring the first goall the whole team played better the rest of the match. Why change this plan and bring in another striker? It's not easy for new players to adapt to the gameplay of a different team, especially when they have been playing for another club or League.
What I want to say simply, teams create players and not the opposite.

Barcelona would have performed better with those guys if they were around. even though I won't easily discredit the efforts of the players that played yesterday match. But Barcelona should have envisaged the big match and could have add more efforts.

It was more of let's start hard and finish softly, yesterday. Like a case of we are in a hurry in the first half but have all the time to relax in the second half. If Barcelona had applied the same efforts they used in the first half, they would have performed more incredibly.

After Ousmane Dembele was permanently sold to Paris Saint Germaine in the summer, I was very surprised to see Barcelona allow Ansu Fati to join Brighton and Hove Albion on loan even when they don't have too much number of strikers.
Ferran Torres hasn't impressed since the start of the season and it's really affecting Barcelona's performance in their matches. Robert Lewandowski who was injured is currently back to action and hopefully, his return will improve the club's performance in their next upcoming matches.

I don't know who can win Granada or Villarreal, but I'm sure it will be a good game. But I still favour Villarreal, their attack is better than Granada's. Granada haven't won against Villarreal for almost 10 years. If it happens in today's game, it will be a feat.

We cannot compare the history of the match of the two teams in the last 2 years or more because the situation and composition of the players are different, in the last 5 seasons Villarreal has always been in the top 7-8 standings this means they still have a great squad but this season they are not better Villarreal is almost the same as other weak clubs, just look at the history of the match they only won 2 times in 10 matches while Granada is in a worse position but they can take advantage of playing at home. It is not easy to predict who wins, in my opinion this match is more appropriate to end in a draw with a final score of 1-1 for betting options, of course both teams to score YES.

In all the matches played in La Liga, the teams managed to score goals against each other. Real betis, the form team of the last weeks, managed to get three points by defeating Osasuna 2-1 at home. I think that Real Betis, playing really well under Pellegrini, can finish in the top six this season.
Vallecano, who had not lost for six weeks, managed to extend their unbeaten run to seven weeks with a 2-2 draw at home to Real Sociedad. Neither team is easily beaten and in this match the two teams failed to beat each other. The hosts should be happy that managed to get a point with a last minute goal.

Not only the match between Villarreal and Granada was played, we will watch it too tonight. We will probably see a goal in this match as well, Granada is one of the teams that conceded the most goals this year and will concede a goal tonight as well, it would be a miracle if they do not concede a goal when they are defending so poorly Cheesy

A good week has passed, the most critical match of the week was of course Real Madrid's victory. They are still on the same points as Girona

I don't know who can win Granada or Villarreal, but I'm sure it will be a good game. But I still favour Villarreal, their attack is better than Granada's. Granada haven't won against Villarreal for almost 10 years. If it happens in today's game, it will be a feat.

Granada - Villarreal is going to be the last game of this week. Villarreal are shown as the favourite side but they have quite high odds for the win like over 2.00. This is absolutely one of the games that a bettor should be very careful about. Because this is a game between two poor performing teams in the La Liga. Both of them haven't won a single game for many weeks.

However Villarreal's away record against Granada since late 2014 has been really impressive. They won most of those games and got draws in the remaining ones. They destroyed Granada by 4-1 here in the previous season. Who knows maybe this psychological advantage would be some help for Villarreal to put an end to this horrible streak going on now.

Bellingham is in great form as a striker at Real Madrid. Bellingham's contract with Real Madrid has introduced the English star as a midfielder but the midfielder has become Real Madrid's top goal scorer. Bellingham has been scoring in almost every match and his goals have led Real Madrid to victory. In the last El Clasico match we saw Real Madrid score two goals against Barcelona and both of those goals came from Bellingham.

It's not fair to say that Real Madrid would have scored more goals if they had another striker because whenever Real Madrid has a main striker, Bellingham might be repositioned and if he is repositioned he won't score as much as he did this time. .

El Classico was always complicated throughout yesterday's match, so there were a lot of counter tactics used by both teams. It can be seen that Real Madrid's weak points are Vini and Rodrygo who are unable to adapt quickly. Sooner or later, Bellingham will become central to Real Madrid's game, whether Vini and Rodrygo have to be able to attract opposing defenders and open up space for Bellingham.

It is true that Bellingham came to Real Madrid as a midfielder, but considering that there is no Real Madrid striker as dangerous as Benzema, the tactics used by Carlo Ancelotti so far are very useful, because Bellingham, apart from being a midfielder, can also be Real Madrid's shadow striker.

Yes, it is absolutely correct. I told myself that there is still enough time to win the league. The final decision of La Liga cannot be made in just a few matches. Currently, there are 27 matches remaining for the current teams to win La Liga. And by taking out the point average of 27 matches, it becomes 81 points to win La Liga, and it is not possible that no team loses points in all these matches. Sure, it can be. So it means to say that la liga is not a small league to predict the winner in advance; rather, la liga is a part of the competition of big clubs, and everyone is trying to get ahead of each other to win it. But in the final decision, it is possible who can win and who remains runner-up. Yes, it is possible that Barcelona will win, but the current status of Barcelona indicates that in the absence of key players, the team can show a weak performance. As seen in some matches recently,

Today there is only one match in the Spanish La Liga. Villarreal will play away to Granada. Both teams have very bad results in the league. and both teams are at the bottom of the league. Granada have only one win this season. On the other hand, Villareal haven't won in their last 5 league games. They are far from their former glory. If Villareal don't want to be relegated this season, they need to beat direct rivals like Granada. That's why I think this is a very important game for Villareal and I think the experienced coach Pacheta will do what is necessary.

Since the two teams are not too strong in this la Liga league season, I guess Granada still stand as a team that will take a good lead from this game base on their results they got this season to secured one win, which they have hope of beating Villarreal to achieve 3 points from this game. I know Villarreal will try their best to perform what they have never performed before since the beginning of this season to make the game difficult for Granada not to score goal easily like the way other strong teams used to scored goals to achieve points from them.

I don't think Villarreal will win this game because, Granada players will surely apply some new tactics that will make the game to turn for their favour to beat Villarreal 1:0 to secured two games won so far, and it will bring hope to their fans to believe that they can still improve in other games.

Despite the fact that Barcelona were beaten by Jude Bellingham's late goal in their game against Real Madrid last weekend, I don't think it should make anyone to think that the club is now underperforming because before the commencement of that game, Barcelona were still unbeaten in the Spanish La Liga.
Real Madrid is one of the best clubs not just in Spain but the whole of Europe and has the capability and capacity to beat any side in the league. So losing against them on Saturday shouldn't make anyone think that they aren't good enough to compete for the league and European titles again.

I agree with you, defeat against Madrid is not the end of everything for Barcelona, either in La Liga or in the Champions League. Madrid and Barcelona have both suffered one defeat so far, and currently Ancelotti squad is temporarily leading the standings, and there is no guarantee that they will be unbeaten in the future. On the one hand, Xavi had to admit that Ancelotti squad was superior to him, Bellingham was able to make the difference which made them lose three points. But what is clear is that there are still many matches ahead, they must shift their focus to the next match.

On the other hand, the top four in the La Liga standings are occupied by newcomers Girona, with the scenario of beating other weak teams, they managed to collect the same number of points as Madrid, leaving ATM and Barcelona behind. Who would have thought that they have very good statistics, if Madrid is careless then they will lead the top of the standings.

No one will say that they were bad in this match it's just that when El Clasico if one club loses then this will definitely continue to be highlighted because after all this is a derby so El Clasico defeat even if it doesn't really affect the performance to a great extent but still this can also trigger several conditions such as in terms of the players' mentality and performance which must have a little effect especially when we see the stigma that the standings sometimes depend on El Clasico.
Barcelona are still playing very well up until now but indeed the defeat to Barcelona caused a condition where massive speculation took place.

This is indeed Camavinga's biggest strength because it gives Ancelotti options throughout the game without needing to substitute several players at once when an injury or suspension because of a red card happens. The value of such a player can be incredible depending on various game situtations and Camavinga can play many of the defensive roles and he is currently developing his skills to also contribute more to the offensive game when the situation allows. He isn't quite there yet when you compare him to Kroos, for instance, but I think in maybe one or two years he is one of the most reliable and flexible midfielders in Europe. He is only 20 years old and I always found it shocking how calm he is under pressure. His view Cheesy

He always looks as if nothing is going on while he is getting attacked.

It was proven in yesterday's El Clasico match and when Camavinga was introduced, Real Madrid's playing rhythm was much different from before he was played, so they managed to beat Barcelona with a score of 1-2. Camavinga has skills in several positions and that is his strength and Kroos' performance was far below Camvinga in that match in my opinion. Jude Bellingham was the player most talked about in the match because in the first half his performance was not very impressive. Ancelotti replaced several players to maximize attacks and dominate the midfield and he managed to choose the right players to stop Barcelona because the introduction of Modric and Camavinga had a quite positive effect.

The potential of Real Madrid's young players is quite good and they must continue to play so they can improve their skills on the field when facing crucial matches. Xavi Hernandez again failed to dominate Ancelotti's strategy even though Gundogan opened up opportunities for them to win the match. Unfortunately, there was no further penetration during the second half, so the number of opportunities that Barcelona got did not produce a good final solution in scoring a goal.

Kroos wasn't bad in my opinion, but he wasn't good or particularly noticeable either. But he is mostly not a player who's contribution to the game is measured in goals or brilliant play all the time. It is more about how he affects the game, how he understands to keep the ball safe and to either speed up or slow down the game. He is a very good feeling for timings and knows when to do what, i.e. he barely makes the wrong decision in specific game situations.

This will be a problem for Barcelona that didn't occur for the last time this season. They have problems scoring goals. Last season their offense also wasn't overwhelming with only 70 goals in 38 games, but their defense was on a whole different level and that is why they won the title. This season they conceded more than half of the goals they conceded last season after 11 games.
