Finances will not prevent Xavi from continuing to try to give confidence and enthusiasm to his players and this has been proven that Barcelona since last season can still get the title here even in bad financial conditions and I think that Xavi's current steps are not really chasing the title in the champions league but still trying to always perform well even though Xavi already knows that it will all fail, it is better for him to always focus his players on continuing to perform consistently in La Liga.
Xavi is a very great coach, even in a bad situation he is able to make a contribution that does not disappoint and this makes other clubs want to get a coach like this to bring to another league club when his contract expires but Barca officials don't seem to be letting him go and are trying to extended his contract with him.

Xavi was lucky to win La Liga (due to the crisis in Real Madrid) but, for example, Barcelona have terrible results in European cups. If we were not talking about a top club with big ambitions, then average results would be acceptable, but Barcelona, despite the financial crisis and the scandal with bribery of referees that continues to develop, still considers itself a top club, so they need better results. At some point, Xavi may be fired due to results or simply because Xavi still hasn't proven that he has a high level of competence.

It seems that for the Real Sociedad vs Mallorca match we all almost have the same doubts. And actually this doubt arose as a result of seeing the results of Mallorca's match which managed to hold Barcelona to a draw this season. But if we don't see these results then I'm sure all of us here will be very confident in betting on Real Sociedad without hesitation. Because so far Mallorca really haven't been able to find the best game they have. In fact, their performance last season was actually much better. But this season Mallorca's defense is quite strong. But I think their attack line is mediocre.

Usually Mallorca will create a tight defense when facing a strong team. But what is quite surprising is that, like in the match against Barcelona, ​​we can see that it was Mallorca who managed to score the first goal in that match. Everyone was shocked at that time. But I think Mallorca's current pattern of play is starting to be read by the big clubs. And I think Real Sociedad can handle it. So I will bet on Real Sociedad.

I think Real Sociedad's chances of winning this match are very big, especially since they are playing at home, and currently Real Sociedad's performance is very good and now Real Sociedad is in 6th place in the La Liga standings.
And Mallorca is a team that is clearly below Real Sociedad in terms of quality, so far Mallorca have only been able to win once in the 9 matches they have played.
So I have no doubts about Real Sociedad's victory in this match and I even predict that this will be an easy win for Real Sociedad.

Real Sociedad has more dominating victory their last 5 matches but only won narrowly and it is not impossible that Mallorca will hold Real Sociedad to a draw in this match rather than accept defeat, they will try not to lose points and at least with a draw Mallorca will be satisfied with that result.
Therefore, it is difficult to predict this match even though Real Sociedad's chances are greater than Mallorca's, but it does not rule out the possibility that Mallorca will be able to hold on to a draw.

Kubo started this season very well. He has 5 goals in 8 matches and last year he was able to score 9 goals in all matches. Ancelotti decides if this is enough for Real Madrid. He may be considered as a backup, but Kubo may not accept being a backup.

Xavi's value is also that he was able to save the team without money, I mean that despite the huge financial problems and long delays in payments for the players, he managed to convince them that everything would work out and was able to persuade them to stay in the team. In the end, they managed to win La Liga, which is also a good result, but in the Champions League the result was weak. No one will fire Xavi, it seems to me that he will become a top coach on the world stage for whom top clubs will fight, if Barcelona lets him go...

@irenecoin, you speculated too far. even though you strengthen it with odds from bookies, the problem is that changes can occur every week or match presented by La Liga. Moreover, La Liga has only presented 9 of the 38 matches, and there are still many matches that must be played by all the teams taking part in this competition. So, it's too soon to speculate.
We all know that currently Madrid is at the top of the standings, but the difference in points from the teams below their ranking does not show a very obvious gap. Ginona is only 2 points away from Real Madrid, while Barcelona is 3 points away. and in this competition, it still offers match after match which is still very long.

Even so, however, Madrid is always a strong candidate team to win the championship trophy every season. Likewise with this season, especially now that they are in first place. However, Barcelona will always be a threat in the competition for trophies and La Liga.
and yep, we agree with what @Swordsoffredom said, for now there is no reason for Barcelona management to decide to fire Xavi. Moreover, Xavi is very skilled at negotiating with players he wants to bring to Camp Nou. I believe that Xavi has an important role this season in convincing IIkay Gundohan, Joao Cancelo and other players who are free agents.
This season, Barcelona still has a chance to defend the trophy they won last season. It's just how Xavi has to deal with the injury problems of his players, as well as prepare his team to play match after match, especially for the important El Clasico match.

Judging from the odds available in the betting market, it is also predicted that this will be a match that Real Sociedad can win, but whether it is easy or not is of course still a question, because sometimes many unexpected things can happen in football matches, such as when one of the teams gets a red card so that the direction of the match can change from what was predicted at the start of the match.
From the possible matches that might occur, Mallorca has a greater chance of holding a draw than beating the home team because they succeeded in doing so when they held Barcelona to a draw. If Mallorca loses it is not surprising considering that Mallorca still cannot find its best performance, even in Mallorca's five matches can only get 6 points so they have lost a lot of points which makes their position even further down.

Actually, rather than saying it was a rotation I would rather say that it started out of necessity because of the lack of players so it forced players who shouldn't be in ideal positions because it was the last resort but it still worked out well for some players like Camavinga who was sometimes deployed at RB or now Tchouameni who is deployed at center back.

It's just that as I said before even though it still looks good but they should try to find new alternatives for some players even though it's currently good but forcing Tchouameni is not always going to work.

The striker problem can still find someone, it's just that if they are still quite confident with the current attacking squad, it is still not too urgent compared to their defense.

maybe if Real Sociedad is lucky to be able to beat Mallorca but if not it will most likely only be a draw. as I know, Mallorca has a very strong defense from a defense line that is always perfect, it has a big fortress that is very sturdy and difficult to break down even when competing against top teams, but its just that Mallorca does not have enough strong attacking line players so scoring is difficult, but to defend the team was perfect. so if
Real Sociedad wants to secure victory in the Mallorca match. they should continue to apply pressure and always take advantage of the situation when they have a gap to kick the ball towards the goal or if not, the mentality of Mallorca defenders will become stronger to continue defending their goal.

regarding choosing a bet on this match, I dont think I will place a bet on this match because it is very difficult to predict, but according to my thoughts, it looks like these two teams will only have a score under 3.

What I can imagine is that some things can be done, such as if Zidane is going to go to Madrid, it is likely that Mbappé could go. but as I have said before, if this happens to me personally I would feel very disappointed, and I hope that Florentino Pérez says no, because I have not seen any player who initially says no to Madrid and then they join him, furthermore, he does not It will surprise me to see something like that, because it is something that goes against their very principles, so that they are going to allow themselves to be manipulated or something that Zidane can say or do, well that is something that is not good, I could think that The game and the players they have right now is the idea, Bellingham could be the ideal position that Mbappé could have placed, because with only Rodry and Vini Jr himself it is enough, at least that is what Ancelotti has made clear, that is why We must see very well what his next moves are, and a possible transfer to Mbappé's Madrid, although there are many cons, one of them is Mbapé's age, and at 25 years old he is no longer as good or as feasible for Madrid, so in this order of ideas it could be said that the possibilities are already minimal, I don't see it there.

Now with the team in general I think they could be a champion team, I see them as very complete, yes, maybe other forwards? I don't know, I think that Mbappé no longer has a life at Madrid, however I see him more at Liverpool and he may do better there, what we think can happen is that things can make a difference, for me things happen When it comes to how to make a better team and more champions, of the League, of UCL and everything that may be presented, for me this is the best perspective, and of course I couldn't make a better scheme for the players, for Now it seems to me that it is very perfect, I think that they can be the next champions of everything, personally I think that Bellingham can be the big star.


It is very true what you say about the expectations of these games, I really admire how Mallorca is doing, for me they are beginning to do things very well in an entertaining way and that is something that we must recognize so that we do not stay stagnant on what the other teams can manage to do at a given time, I personally like these games, because basically everyone sticks or is reduced to the fact that the protagonists will always be Barcelona and Madrid, well I don't blame them because they are teams that basically They are the best in Europe and the League, something that many have seen, in fact Real Madrid believed they were going to go very far but they let themselves be delighted by a Man City that is very motivated, I don't know where that motivation was, however in the League, things can repeat themselves a lot, due to the high rivalry between the Madrid and Barcelona teams.

On the other hand, Barcelona is very anxious:

I'm just saying, something, Barcelona aims to have a much stronger team now that Madrid has a lot to give with that great team that has a lot to talk about in the League.

Real Sociedad should win quite easily. Because Mallorca this season only got 1 win in 9 matches this season. But what makes me always doubt Mallorca's matches is because Mallorca can sometimes always hold the strong teams they face to a draw.

Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona could only get a draw when facing Mallorca. So the chance of getting a draw in the match against Real Sociedad is definitely quite big. Currently Mallorca is the club with the most draws this season. That is 5 draws from 9 matches this season.

This saturday Sociedad as a host will playing against Mallorca and on the paper this should be easy match for Sociedad because based on the meetings statistics between them Sociedad has good records that they got 4 wins from 5 latest matches against Mallorca and recent performance from Sociedad also looks impressive although last week Sociedad has just lose from Atletico Madrid but overall Sociedad performance was quite impressive and until week 9 so far Sociedad has got 4 wins total and 3 of them is came from home matches so this proven Sociedad always be performing well everytime they playing at home moreover Mallorca also is not hard opponent for them so i am sure Sociedad will be able to beat Mallorca and collect 3 points from this match

I think both factors play an important role in the team's success in La Liga leading the standings in the UCL. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are performing very well in La Liga, they can also maintain their performance in the UCL. These teams also join a group filled with relatively weak clubs.
The situation currently being experienced by the La Liga teams is very beneficial for them, as leaders of the European Champions League group standings, it will make it easier for them when they are in the round of 16. When Drowing is carried out, these teams will be met with Runners up from other groups. This season is going very well for the La Liga team, Real Madrid, who were humiliated by Manchester City last season, will try to regain momentum to pay for the mistakes they made last season.

Koeman was a worst manager to Xavi Hernandez, The beautiful thing about Barcelona is that, they do not forget their legends. Ronald Koeman and Xavi Hernandez are both legends to the club and they give them time to make things right.
Koeman man never did good job from his start to ending, and Barcelona went ahead to face a hard season.

Xavi Hernandez since his take over has made some good changes, there's no way he'll be sacked. He won better games in his first two seasons compared to Koeman.
The potentials are present also in the squad to win the Champions League and the La Liga. The conclusion of it all is that, Xavi Hernandez won't be sacked.

Comparing Los Blancos to Bluagrana and Los Colchoneros is absolutely out of line. Real Madrid is the leading team in La Liga and also in ranking #1 in UCL group C this season. The Spanish clubs are competitive and fully ready to comprehend the top arising matters, this time Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have join the race but we hope only for them to have a long-term incredible performance. Though at crucial points, most of these elite teams will drop and get eliminated from the league. We are the football lovers and we basically knows the team that would reach crucial phases and the ones that would make it to the grand finale.

Real Madrid did well in the Champions League last season as well. And their performance is good this season too. However, in the Champions League last season, we did not see better performances than Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. These two teams are playing very well in the Champions League this season. Atlético Madrid have drawn one match and won one. The team still topped Group E. Barcelona, on the other hand, are at the top of the Group H points table after winning two matches. Real Sociedad's performance is also very good. And this is why La Liga clubs are ahead of Premier League clubs in the Champions League. Looking forward to see if the La Liga teams can do well in the knockout rounds as well.

Last season clubs from the Italian league performed better in European competitions but were not lucky to win any of the trophies. I don't think these Spanish teams are just lucky, their performance has improved to a large extent. These clubs are also currently in the top six positions in the league, which also shows that they are doing well. Topping almost all the group in the UCL is also a big plus to the La Liga that its quality has also improved.


The performance of Real Madrid, Atletico and Barcelona is not even to me but I am humbled by what Real Sociedad is doing in group D. They are in the same group as last year's Champions League finalists Inter Milan and Portuguese top club Benfica. Real Sociedad got a draw against Inter and beat RB Salzberg to top the group with four points.

You know Jude Bellingham is not a striker. Actually, some people think that Real Madrid is playing him as a number nine, however he is playing as a midfielder and still being able to score. If you look at the heat map of Jude Bellingham, I believe you will see that his most effective area is the midfield, okay. Probably we can say attacking midfield at best, but definitely not a striker, right? So I can say that yes Real Madrid just needs is striker even though Joe Bellingham is scoring right now. And jute Bellingham is cooking.
