Even though Barcelona is unbeaten so far, that also doesn't mean Barcelona has a guarantee of the La Liga title this season. Because after all, the evidence is that even though Barcelona has not been defeated so far, but why, why Barcelona not at the top in the standings. Because usually, when a team manages to go undefeated, then of course that team is at the top of the standings, but for Barcelona at this moment, Barcelona current position is even below Girona. Therefore, at least there is no definite guarantee for Barcelona to win the La Liga title this season, because the league is still long, of course Real Madrid also has a big chance of maintaining its top position throughout this season.
There's absolutely nothing to worry about when it comes to Barcelona because the team is a top one and associates with fierce energy. Barcelona in good shape despite poor standings below Girona, we know the specified teams that would actually reached significant positions on La Liga table this season and Girona might not be among, starting the league with spectacular energy, it doesn't guarantee they will end up in the top four. Girona lacks consistency to continue their brilliant performance, directly means they have slim probability to survive.

A team staying unbeaten doesn't mean they have won all their encounters with other teams, it's very possible a team can continually draw with every team they come across in the season and stay unbeaten and that will definitely not give them enough points to be at the top of the table, Barcelona's unbeaten status this season has some draw which gave them just a point so they can't top with such alone.I agree that Barcelona is not guaranteed to win the league title this season and ofcourse at this point nobody is actually guaranteed to win either as we still have a long way to go with the season, it's True that cumulative performances from now will definitely have a way in determining how possible a team will possibly win the league title.
Real Madrid at this point stand a chance more than Barcelona does but then since football if filled with so much of uncertainties, it's very possible along the line Barcelona will pick up form again and perform so well they could get a chance at the top and probably be on the race again to win the title, so I think it's yet still too far to be sure who is most likely to win the title.
Sevilla are absolutely rushing things so much when it comes to choosing their coach. They are very impatient which results in their coaches to last for a really short time period. I don't think Mendilibar deserved to get sacked like this. He won the Europa League championship with this team last season. How can they give up on a coach like this so easily? Just because they couldn't start well to the season shouldn't be a reason for sacking a successful manager quickly. 
If things get worse in Diego Alonso's time then I wonder what they will plan to do. This is the first time he manages a team in Europe by the way.

So Diego Alonso is Sevilla's new coach this season?
I didn't realize that Sevilla had fired their coach and had found a replacement for him, but I didn't know the new coach well. I tried to find out more about Diego Alonso, so apparently he is the former coach of Uruguay and also Inter Miami.
This is Diego Alonso's first season in La Liga with last season's Europa League champions. Many people will doubt Sevilla's decision to choose him, but there is always the possibility of getting something different from a different coach. Diego Alonso is certainly expected to be able to raise the enthusiasm and confidence of the players, but I think he has a lot to adapt right now.

Mendilibar's time has ended at Sevilla recently and Diego Alonso has been appointed to the manager position. Sevilla have started to change their manager very often in the recent times. Sampaoli, Mendilibar and now Diego Alonso... I don't believe this is a good action to take for a team.
Because the system mostly changes and the players have to adapt to the new one every time. They have to get along with the new manager as well. Rather than that I think Sevilla should have given it some time. They won the Europa League title with Mendilibar in the end.
I think Sevilla should not rush in sacking Jose Luis Mendilibar. Because Mendilibar was actually an important figure who brought big changes to the Sevilla squad last season. Sevilla even avoided the relegation zone in Laliga and managed to win the Europa League title with Mendilibar.Because the system mostly changes and the players have to adapt to the new one every time. They have to get along with the new manager as well. Rather than that I think Sevilla should have given it some time. They won the Europa League title with Mendilibar in the end.
Even though Sevilla haven't shown a good performance this season, I still think that giving more time to Jose Luis Mendilibar would be much better. Because currently Sevilla also has an important match in the Champions League. And of course changing the current coach is a bad decision.
Even if Diego Alonso could become a good coach for Sevilla, improvements will not occur instantly. Everything definitely requires adaptation and is quite a long process. And actually, Sevilla currently doesn't have enough time to adapt to a new coach. Because a busy match schedule and a change of coach will only make things worse.
Sevilla in the Champions League currently has not experienced a defeat nor has they won. Two matches only ended in draws. And I think that's still quite better than losing. But I'm also curious whether Diego Alonso will really make a drastic improvement in Sevilla's performance or if it will actually get worse. Let's see.
Honestly, there are no other teams in the league to actually compete head-to-head with Real Madrid. Even though Atletico Madrid has been showing good performances recently, I just do not trust them to be consistent enough. Barcelona needed to win every easy match that they had. But they were not able to win those matches. Actually, Barcelona is not performing well, to be honest. When you need to defend the league title, you really need to be consistent. And you need to be more consistent when you know that you do not have too much power in your squad.
I wonder why people think Barcelona's performance this season is bad, cause they're not 1st on the table, well they're the only team in the Laliga that's unbeaten and even Realmadrid and Girona that's currently above them have each lost 1 match so far, even in the UCL competition they're performing very brilliantly and top the group H table currently, so cause they're not toping the league doesn't mean they're not doing fine, atleast they're 3rd on the table with 21points with just 3 points difference between them and Madrid.The league is still very far before it comes to an end and where they're currently on the table I must say they're doing fine, they just have to be more careful not to drop more points and widen the gap between them and Realmadrid, they still remain strong contenders of the league and would definitely overthrown Girona in their position on the standings.

I am pretty sure that Diego Alonso is the new coach of Sevilla. I am not sure if this was a good decision or not. But I am sure that they were not performing as well as they should. The only saving price for the coach was that they were able to win the Europa League title the last season. But now we know that they are performing in the Champions League competition. And there is no way they are winning the Champions League.
At the same time the way they are playing right now, they also don't seem to be winning the La Liga title as well. If the decision was actually an improvement or not, we will be able to know that later. And I absolutely agreed that improvements are not going to come instantly.
I hope Sevilla will not end up suffering from what has affected some of the good clubs before who made mistakes of selecting the wrong member into the team that leading to a decline and backwards performance for them at most times.
I don't know, I wouldn't expect much for Sevilla in this match. The draw they got against Rayo last week although it was a good capital but I think Sevilla still have problems that they can't fully solve.
They played quite well from possession and the rhythm played to control the match is also actually very good but their finishing is still quite bad which makes me not too sure that they can improve this.
Especially when the opponent now is Madrid looking at the statistics they lost but indeed they can still play just for 3 points I don't think it will be obtained by Sevilla.
Obviously Sevilla play differently in the big games, but if we look at their current situation, of course they look weak. Sevilla have bad results in the league but they are a team that did well in Europe last season and they have a lot of experience in this arena so they know how to play in big games. That's why I think Sevilla can maybe get 1 point here. Even though Sevilla have a good squad, it is clear that there are problems within the team that really need to be solved. This shows that the coach has to do something.They played quite well from possession and the rhythm played to control the match is also actually very good but their finishing is still quite bad which makes me not too sure that they can improve this.
Especially when the opponent now is Madrid looking at the statistics they lost but indeed they can still play just for 3 points I don't think it will be obtained by Sevilla.
In terms of H2H also in the last 4 matches Madrid always won from Sevilla so with odds of 1.89 and with H2H that could be a benchmark although indirectly this will clearly be profitable for Madrid.
I think when talking about the Europa League of course this will be different because in the end last season there was nothing they could fight for apart from competing with all their strength in the Europa League especially they were very bad in La Liga last season. This season is actually almost the same with their performance still not stable in La Liga so maybe the focus is still expecting to be in the top 3 of the Champions League and switch to the Europa League and focus there but of course this discussion will be different. For this match their chance is only possible 1 point that will be very difficult to happen.
I don't care too much about Sevilla's performance but at the start of the season I thought Barcelona and Real Madrid would start well in La Liga and they would go on to compete brilliantly. But although Barcelona team is performing well, I think Real Madrid team is not able to perform as they want.
Where do you judge all that from? In fact, currently Barcelona is in third place in the La Liga standings after being held to a draw by Granada. Meanwhile, Real Madrid, with its current conditions, is still experiencing a shortage of attacking players, but is still able to occupy first place by winning eight matches out of the nine matches it has played. Sevilla is a team that is still lacking consistency this season so this might make it a little easier for Real Madrid to get full points again at Sevilla's home ground. 
Bellingham in Real Madrid is something out of this world, he is having so much luck asides of his mega skills. I dont remember a transfer so good for real since Cristiano Ronaldo one. Plus in this time where any team paid quirky ammount of money for random players or youths stars and ended up being a piece of shit, this seems to be not that case, and he is making a super season.
Jude Bellingham will start breaking some of Christian Ronaldo's records at Real Madrid very soon. Bellingham has already broken many other records at Real Madrid by scoring 8 goals in 8 games in the La Liga, and he also scored 2 goals in both of Real Madrid's Champions League matches, bringing his season total to 10 goals. What a good performance from a midfielder. Bellingham surprises me the most because he is not a striker but has scored more goals than any striker this season in every league. Real Madrid used to struggle to win the La Liga title sometimes because of Barcelona, but I believe this season will be different because they are currently leading the league table with some points and I believe they won't want to lose any games.
I heard that some Real Madrid players, including Camavinga, Vinicius, and Valverde, extended their contracts, but the only one I have seen with my own eyes is Camavinga's own contract. However, I see that Vinicius and Valverde are signing their own next we, so I think that real Madrid performance won't come back or look poor. Since I started seeing Bellingham's performance, however, I have changed my mind. This has given me the impression that Real Madrid will continue to be the strong team we are familiar with, and nothing will change. If Bellingham's contract expires, I think Real Madrid will want to extend it, and it would be wonderful to know.
This is something that Camavinga deserves because after all, seeing his current performance he deserves to get a contract extension from Madrid. In addition, by securing Camavinga Madrid also at least secured a good thing for a player because apart from him always being a priority, he is also a player who can be flexibly placed in the midfield or full back so this is very good for Madrid especially with the aging Modric and Kroos of course it will be a good thing when this long-term contract renewal is made.
Exactly, Real Madrid took a wise step by extending Camavinga contract to maintain the transition in midfield, we know that Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are no longer young and are currently not playing full matches in every match. On the other hand, when Ancelotti is short of players in the left back position, Camavinga can fill that post apart from midfield, in other words, Camavinga can play in several positions and that is why Madrid really needs his energy for the long term. With a release clause of that size, it indicates that Madrid does not want their players to be redeemed by any club. Sooner or later we will no longer see the role of Modric and Kross in the Los Blancos squad due to age, maintaining the transition by preparing Camavinga as a replacement is the right solution.
With a long contract and a big clause it seems that it can be muted by itself and that is a very good thing for Madrid.
On the other hand, Camavinga's age is also currently young so he deserves to be projected for the long term, hopefully when there is a new coach in Madrid (when Ancelotti leaves next season) he will still continue to be consistent and even better with the long contract he has.

I don't care too much about Sevilla's performance but at the start of the season I thought Barcelona and Real Madrid would start well in La Liga and they would go on to compete brilliantly. But although Barcelona team is performing well, I think Real Madrid team is not able to perform as they want.Moreover, Lewandowski's performance this season has dropped, in fact he has only scored 5 goals and 3 assists in 8 appearances. Currently Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha are injured, while other players apart from Ferran Torres, Joao Felix and Lamine Yamal cannot always help them to win. I would be happy if you said honestly that Real Madrid this season has achieved good form from the performance of its players.

In general, Barcelona and Real Madrid are two teams that have a big chance of winning the title this season. I'm not sure about all the other teams including Atletico Madrid, Girona or others, I mean if not Real Madrid then Barcelona will win it.

That's for sure, because Real Madrid and Barcelona are two very favored teams in La Liga every season. So yes, it is not surprising that the record for winning La Liga titles is only a fight between Real Madrid and Barcelona every season. But regarding this moment or this season, I personally very confident to saying that Real Madrid has a very big chance of winning the La Liga title. Because after all, Bellingham managed to play a very impressive game, so it was like a strong encouragement for Real Madrid to have good results in every match this season.
Real Madrid lost La Liga to Barcelona last season so of course Real Madrid will want to beat Barcelona and win this season's La Liga title. Bellingham has now become a very important player for Real Madrid, the team relies on this English midfielder in every match.
As a Real Madrid fan, I hope that Bellingham and other young players will win the La Liga title this season.
That is part of Real Madrid's plans, but it is possible that Camavinga will not get the same opportunities if Ancelotti leaves Real Madrid at the end of the season. Camavinga's contract extension will certainly benefit Real Madrid because of his young age, but I don't think Camavinga will continue to be retained if Real Madrid is coached by a different coach.
What every coach needs in a player is good performance. Eduardo Camavinga will continue to enjoy regular play if his performance keeps improving. The young French midfielder has been instrumental to the success of Real Madrid this season. He has featured in eleven games this season and has kept improving. He is learning from experienced players like Luka Modric and has formed a solid partnership with Federico Valverde. There are speculations that Carlo Ancelotti will leave the club next season but Real management understands that Camavinga is part of the future of the club which is why his pay and release clause was increased. Honestly, there are no other teams in the league to actually compete head-to-head with Real Madrid. Even though Atletico Madrid has been showing good performances recently, I just do not trust them to be consistent enough. Barcelona needed to win every easy match that they had. But they were not able to win those matches. Actually, Barcelona is not performing well, to be honest. When you need to defend the league title, you really need to be consistent. And you need to be more consistent when you know that you do not have too much power in your squad.

Looking at the Spanish league table, there is stiff competition among the top teams. Real Madrid is not dominating the league because they are just two points above second-placed Girona and three points above Barcelona. A single loss or draw can make them lose the top spot. We should not also overlook that fact that Barca have not lost a single game in the La Liga. Regards

Realmadrid is a club that loves to invest in their future and they always select good youngsters to replace departing older talents and its been favorable to them over the years and that's why they've been so successful, for instance they replaced Casemiro with Camavinga, Marcelo with Mendy and even bale and Cr7 with the likes of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo and I believe they'll soon get a better youngsters that would replace Benzema, which they're currently working on.
Yes, it true that Real madrid always prioritizes bringing young players to the club to regenerate young player with strong talent such as old players who have left club and it seems like you have add young player who are brought try to develop Arda guler talent but unfortunately these young player actually very talented and has good future but when it was rumor that he would make his debut he suffered another injury and course Ancelotti was little disappointed with this news while he could not wait to see how strong his talent was and maybe we just have to wait for another striker player who can replace benzema like Haaland or Kylian mbappe. ~Snip

Ancelotti can make good use of Camavinga and play him in different positions, which has clearly provided advantages for the player. Camavingan's performance so far has been quite good, he has good confidence when appearing and of course that has helped Real Madrid get into their best form.
Barcelona has been a little inconsistent in this season, considering the fact that they are the defending champions of this La Liga competition. They should have been performing better. They should also put all their resources into actually winning the La Liga title because frankly, they do not have any chance of winning the Champions League.
Barcelona have a little scare in the Injury of Yamine Lamal which will make him unfit to play for his country Spain. It is a hip flexor injury, so it may or may not take long to completely heal. He has been important for the Barcelona coach this season, It can be terrible not to have him available for a few games including their champions league fixture. I have heard that he is not going to play for his country. They have decided that he is unfit to participate in Spain in the upcoming matches. I think that is actually a good decision. There is no reason for him to play if he is unfit. And he is still very young. At only 16 years of age, there is no reason to put any pressure on him whatsoever. His getting better properly from an injury is only going to make him longer and have a better career in the long run.
Real Madrid is leading the La Liga table right now and they are definitely showing a dominant performance. I did think that Barcelona is going to be in the second position and consistently be at a one or two point difference with Real Madrid. But Barcelona seems to not have that same level of performance. Barcelona has been a little inconsistent in this season, considering the fact that they are the defending champions of this La Liga competition. They should have been performing better. They should also put all their resources into actually winning the La Liga title because frankly, they do not have any chance of winning the Champions League.
Seriously, I don't think that Barcelona are in the great form that fans are expecting from them, and with the way they are always struggling to win games nowadays, I really noticed that it will be hard for Barcelona to top the table for a long time this season unless they put in more effort. In some matches that Barcelona have played this season, they are always the first to concede goals, and later they will struggle to win, which shows that Barcelona's form is not that strong. The way Real Madrid is going now, I don't think they will drop from first place in the table because they are playing strongly every day. Barcelona is not in that great form, but nobody can say they can't win the Champions League because this is what people were saying when Chelsea won their last Champions League in 2021 because of their poor start. Let us not easily conclude because Barcelona is doing well in the Champions League currently.
Honestly, there are no other teams in the league to actually compete head-to-head with Real Madrid. Even though Atletico Madrid has been showing good performances recently, I just do not trust them to be consistent enough. Barcelona needed to win every easy match that they had. But they were not able to win those matches. Actually, Barcelona is not performing well, to be honest. When you need to defend the league title, you really need to be consistent.
