Without Mbappe Real Madrid will still be one of Barcelona's strong challengers and that has been proven many times in La Liga, this is more than just competition in La Liga but Real Madrid's collective ability when playing in the Champions League as the highest competition and they are one of the kings of the league Champions require a competent and strong team. Mbappe can bring big changes to Real Madrid's attack line because of his extraordinary ability when scoring goals and also when outwitting opponents when carrying the ball, this is what makes Real Madrid's front line even more dangerous for the teams that will face them.

Even though Real Madrid currently says they have other options if Mbappe fails to wear the Los Blancos uniform, I am sure Mbappe will choose Real Madrid compared to other clubs if he wants to leave PSG. Let's see what Mbappe's future holds next season after his contract ends at PSG and hope he chooses the right club as the next step to achieve his individual and club career.

Diego Simeone is the masterpieces of Atletico Madrid, his presence is highly needed for the upgrade of the team. He is one of the promising coach in La Liga and also a good coach running the affairs of Los Colchoneros over previous seasons. Atletico Madrid have full force and was able to match the level of energy from other competitive clubs in UEFA Champions League and other elite ones. The players respects him and have succeeded in their best form, just like Alvaro Morata who's exceptionally brilliant on the pitch, and have made valuable contributions to the team. He's here to improve more and play more games for Atletico Madrid.

Actually if you look at Girona at the moment it is not far from the performance of Betis last season where they were also quite surprising at the start of the season but slowly they lost their balance and in the end the conditions remained the same they were only in the Europa League. Girona will also not be much different even if they try their best now but their condition will only be a dark horse and be in the Europa League zone at best in the Champions League position 4. But to be in the championship zone and compete until the end will be very difficult for them.
The next week against Almeria will not be too difficult and indeed with their current performance it is possible for them to bring 3 points but there could be a surprise from Almeria.

Simeone is a true leader in Atletico Madrid and many players in Atletico Madrid joined this team because of Simeone coaching this team.
In the last years of Atletico Madrid, Simeone had a good performance there but it seems there is a possibility for another player to leave the team.
Álvaro Morata joined Atletico Madrid from Juventus in Serie A and he even said he joined there because of Simeone but Morata didn't have enough chance during this season and there is a chance for him to leave Atletico Madrid and return to Serie A.

It doesn't even matter how strong girona and barcelona and the winner will always be real madrid. Barcelona is not the same like what it used to be. People are worrying girona to take the la liga this season but real madrid was destroying it easily without any problem by facing a tough game against girona. I think that the result of la liga this season will be the same. Atletico madrid is much more challenging compared to the girona at this moment. The winners will always be real madrid or barcelona.
Note my words. There's no team who can play as good as real madrid or barcelona at this moment in la liga. These clubs will always be dominating the league anytime. I don't see chances owned by some clubs other than it to take the trophy this season.
It's likely that if the good trend by real madrid and barcelona will still continue. These clubs are the only club that will have chances to win la liga this season. Im doubting the club like girona or atletico madrid.

Jude Bellingham is an exceptional player but comparing him with Cristiano Ronaldo is not ideal for now. Firstly, the Englishman is a midfielder and might not be able to score many goals like the Portuguese captain. We still need to give Bellingham more time to show his worth. Ronaldo has maintained high-quality performance for a time which is a sign of a great footballer. Bellingham will have to play for some years before he can attain such status. Also if we compare the trophy and personal awards both players have won, it will be clear that the Real Madrid young player is not close to the standard of Ronaldo. undoubtedly, Bellingham might fortunately get to the level of great midfielders like Zinedine Zidane in the future. But for now, let us give him some space to grow and avoid this unnecessary comparison.      


It is surprising to see a relatively unknown club putting up an extraordinary performance. With a little budget and some group of unknown players, the club is not doing badly at all. Girona head coach Michel has succeeded in building a strong and united team that has won seven games and lost and drew one game respectively. If they maintain this momentum, the Champions League will not elude them. Many players from the club have been brought into the limelight due to their performance of the club and might move to better clubs if they fail to maintain their good performances.    

Girona of course started the Spanish La Liga season in an impressive fashion but even when they were winning consecutively, I was of the opinion that they should enjoy their great performances while it lasts. I said that because I think they lack the quality of players needed to consistently win matches.
The contention for who wins the Spanish La Liga title is between clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Girona did well to have a good start but I don't think they have the needed quality of players to remain relevant in the league.

I was never expecting to see Girona at this level and race with Real Madrid and Barcelona, still, I'm staying to find the reason for this good performance from Girona. As far as I know, La Liga they could never be on top of the table and I think time after time they will lose their place.
The next game for Girona in La Liga is against Almeria which is a good opportunity to take more risks and even bet on Almeria for more rewards they can give because Almeria is not a weak team too.

Is it not too early to start comparing Jude Bellingham with Cristiano Ronaldo. It won't make the player better and it won't also give him the time to build his career gradually. There's need to be a consistently progressional player for at least a decade and more to be able to catch up with the achievements the star players have made. Like being the highest goal scorer of the leagues and so many things. It is good to hail the efforts of Bellingham, like I also do severally, but he should be encouraged more on the basis of his performance and not ascribing it to the achievements made by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Barcelona are in good shape,they aren't doing badly at the moment,but they just need to be consistent in their game play,they are aware of the fact that Madrid won't let them win the Tittle again this season,and therefore,they need to belt up and try to do well,else,smaller teams will take advantage of their state.
And for the injury crisis befalling them,yes,injury is part of the game,but the ability of the coach to improvise when injury hits his players and still grind out a better result is what makes that coach a better coach.Barcelona will still do well this season and definitely qualify for the Champions League again,but winning the league will be impossible.

Seeing a player becoming a supper star in a club have multiple positive impact on the club,  the first impact is that while the player is creating all those records,  he does so by bringing result to the club in the various games and by so doing he automatically increases his chances in taking up awards within and outside the club,  and the second advantage is that the club stake amount on the player also increases since if real Madrid want to sell any of those young star players to other clubs,  the club will have to pay much higher amount above what Real Madrid bought it in.

La Liga becoming tougher to anticipate and have basically full game competitions from both elite and mediocre teams. It's only matter of time to decide the most outstanding club currently to lift La Liga trophy this season. Underrated Girona because it's an average team and praising Barcelona to win La Liga league title this season would be quite challenging for them. The blaugrana are face with challenges this season, from problems from the finance sector to the players who have sustained long-term injury, some might come back in extreme incredible shape while some can not be able to meet up the top expectations from fans.

Are you sure we don't need to worry about Barcelona? Have you counted how many Barcelona players got injured? There are 6 Barcelona players who got injured, it means they are not in a good condition now. Sadly, those 6 players are mostly the key players for Barcelona squad. If they often get injured, it may ruin their performance. Those players will be difficult to maintain their good performance due to injured problem.

Anyway, I think you too underestimate Girona. They played quite consistent so far, they started this season perfectly. Although they got 1 defeat, it doesn't mean they probably easier got more losses. In reality, they still can maintain good performance.

Apparently, I'm behind on news regarding Sevilla and their coach. IMO, if I have to be honest, Mendilibar was lucky enough to lead Sevilla to the Europa League trophy last season. Even though when he was still coaching Sevilla, his performance and Sevilla's game were not ideal for me personally. I don't mean to say that Mendilibar is a coach without potential, but the football he promotes is more of a pragmatic game. That's why, in his second season with Sevilla there weren't many changes that occurred, in fact it wasn't much different from the previous season which had been in decline before Mendilibar took charge of Sevilla. Luckily, when Mendilibar took charge of Sevilla, the wind was on his side and he was even able to win the Europa League trophy. However, because his performance this season has been poor, it would be very natural for a club to fire its coach if his performance does not meet the club management's expectations. and now, Diego Alonso has replaced Mendilibar who was fired by club management.

To be honest, I'm not too familiar with Diego Alonso. However, if I look at the profile I refer to from TransfersMark, this coach is from Uruguay. In his career, he has won three trophies with Monterrey and Pachuca, clubs from Latin America. and in 2022, he will become head coach of the Uruguayan national team. If I refer to his flagship formation, I really doubt he will be able to bring Sevilla better, he tends to use a 4-4-2 pattern. However, we'll see and give him a chance to prove how far he can take Sevilla.

Girona have been in fine form so far but they will only be one of the candidates for 4th place and a dark horse club this season with their excellent form in the 9 games they have played so far.
They are a surprise but consistency is a very big problem and will definitely be difficult for Girona to overcome even though they are still playing very well but I am not sure this will last until the end.
As for the title race, Atletico this season can still compete unlike the previous season, but on the other hand, the priority will not be different from before where Madrid and Barcelona are the strongest candidates.

Well, yes, because in the end it's all a point calculation. Even though he has never been beaten so far, if he has 3 draws, he still doesn't get full points and ends up still in third place. However, in fact, even now, we are still too early to predict exactly who will hold the La Liga title for this season. However, the biggest candidates are still Real Madrid and Barcelona. Even though Girona is currently in second place, we don't know how far they will stay in that position. Meanwhile, in the future, competition will be even fiercer.

 They really suprised everyone this season by getting this far, I didn't expect them to be in the top 3 in Laliga currently, they're even above Barcelona in the table, so far the only team that's beaten them this season is Realmadrid and it was expected, if not they would had been in the 1st if they had  won that game, winning 7 games out of 9 with 1 lose and a draw is a very good stats.

 However I doubt as well if they'll be able to be consistent, cause sooner or later several teams would begin to face injury crisis due to fatigue and other things that affect players and I don't think they've got a quality squad depth with good substitutions that would be able to cover their star players when they get injured and that's one of the reasons that could make them drop form.

It's amazing how Girona have been performing this season. No one would have imagined that this team would be at the top of the La Liga table. Out of 9 matches they won 7 matches and lost only one match they are playing very well. But I doubt whether the team can maintain such consistency. I watched Girona's performance against Real Madrid. They don't play well and it's very difficult for teams like Girona to maintain consistency. Only Madrid and Barcelona have been able to play consistently well in La Liga. However, Girona have a good chance of finishing in the top four of the table.

It seems to me that the experience of Holland and Mbappe is on the same level, the fact that the level of the French national team and the Norwegian national team is incomparable has nothing to do with club football. Guardiola's opinion doesn't matter, the compensation for Haaland is only 173 million and when compared with Mbappe's signing bonus and his salary, it may even be cheaper. In addition, Haaland looks more professional than Mbappe, who at some point definitely “caught star fever.”

Girona may have started magnificently, but how they will play in the rest is a matter of curiosity. To be honest, my guess right now is that there will be a rivalry between Atletico, Real Madrid and Barça. I believe that the championship will belong to one of these three teams. It's almost guaranteed to be a difficult season.
