In this match, the Barcelona attack was like a bee that can't make honey. They had many goal chances but struggled to score. They conceded 2 early goals and were stressed, they couldn't score 3 goals. In a game like this it might seem good to come back and get 1 point, but Granada are one of the weakest teams in the league, so this is definitely 2 points lost for Barcelona. I think Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid won't lose points against Granada. This means that Barcelona will have to take 3 points from bigger games to make up for this loss. Like winning in El Clasico, they need to win big games without even a draw.
Lamine Yamal's performance is improving day by day. It's important to remember that this boy is still developing, he will score many more goals and assists in the future, this is a start for him. I also want to mention Sergi Roberto, a player who should get more minutes. I don't understand why Xavi isn't making enough use of him this season.

Barca underestimated Granada and that was why the two goals was scored in the first half. Some of Barca key players were not in the match and this made it more difficult for them to play and secure three points. Barca scored a late goal which was suppose to give them a win but it was ruled out because Ferran Torres was on offside. It is better that they could draw the game than losing it. Currently, Real Madrid is three points ahead of Barca and this might be a big point, if Real Madrid fails to lose any match. Barca needs more consistency in their performance.

This is just the starting,I said it from the beginning,and from when I saw the young kids at Real Madrid,and how they are playing,I told my friends that Madrid will win the Lalliga Titttle this season, although I know it's still very early to even think about who will win the Tittle because the season has not gotten to anywhere,but with what I have seen so far,and with the way Madrid are paying,it is very obvious that they can go on to maintain this point that they are Using to top Barcelona.The January transfer window will soon come,and they will be looking at the possibility of adding another prolific attacker to the team,which will further strengthen them.

Although Real Madrid does not have a perfect striker in their squad, their performance is very good. They have the best midfield in La Liga. And very experienced coach Ancelotti. Ancelotti's mastermind is the reason for Real Madrid's consistent performance. Despite not having a strong attack, they are still managing to score a lot of goals. Real Madrid is ahead in the race to win the La Liga title. However, I am not sure if Real Madrid will add an experienced striker to the team in the next transfer market. They had several options at the start of the season. But they waited for Mbappe. I think they will continue to do their best to add Mbappe to the squad. Madrid management is not thinking about any other striker.

Bellingham, Anceloti's most successful purchase of the season. Young is dominant and he shows great confidence. Next season, if it is true that Mbappe comes, maybe Real Madrid will be very strong. If you add Guller, maybe Madrid will play better. An early-season injury problem does not seem to have seen Madrid struggle. Tchouameni also performed quite well, he became a substitute defender. This is because Nacho cannot play due to card accumulation penalties.

The most youngest player in Spain and in Laliga has given Barca a goal on the dying minutes of the match before the end of the first half. This goal might motivate Barcelona to improve their performance in the second half in order for them to equalize the goal.

Barcelona lost so many opportunities in the first half and they took possession of the game but they couldn't score until the last minutes of the match. The second half should be what will determine if Barcelona will draw or win the game from their performance.

There are really play a draw, a goal just before the end by Sergi Roberto saves a point. Strange as they did not win it, they shot 22 times on goal. Do they miss Lewandowski and would the game have been won with him? Joao Felix could made more, so a goal, he has so far made only one goal in 6 games. There are only 19 days left until the topmatch Real Madrid against Barcelona.

Sometimes it doesn't matter if you do not play well enough, Barcelona got quite terrible 1 point but it is still one point. They played terribly but got the point they wanted and now they are only 1 win away from Real Madrid. Sure that's not what they hoped, but just one win difference is fine enough and could be going the way they want. They were losing by the half time and they got back, that is good enough for them.

I understand that not everyone feels the same or the results are the same for them but that doesn't change the fact that they are going to end up with something that would be a lot worse. I hope that the best thing we could do regarding this would be making sure that they are going to try it as much as they possibly could, and that is very important. I hope that the best thing to do right now would be trying to keep their head down and keep working hard, it will lead to them getting more wins and not have too many games like this one they had.

I agree that Lamine Yamal is still too young to be expected to have a big impact on Barcelona's attack, but this player is really capable of showing his best form with good skills. No wonder several opposing defenders have to stop him with tackles and physical attacks, this is clear because Yamal has the potential to damage his opponent's defense because of his abilities.

I also think he is too young for the responsibility he is being saddled with. He is a very talented player but is very young, needing effective player management to reach his full potential, just as Lionel Messi had as a teenager.

Frank Rijkaard was very influential in the success that Lionel Messi enjoyed in his career. He managed him perfectly when he was getting introduced into the squad in the midst of a lot of accomplished player and allowed him to grow naturally without all the hype and attention the media can give. Other young talented players who failed to reach their full potential were lacking this.

Lamine Tamal now holds the record of being the youngest player to score in the Spanish League. Though his goal wasn't that to put his side Barcelona ahead but such records are well honoured and remembered.
They ( Barcelona ) have a good squad regardless all the struggles they face. They will do better after international duties.

Tamal is too over rated, I don't see any magic that make him so special and just because he was featured early doest mean there aren't others like him, just that they aren't opportune like him and having one goal is nothing compared to early days of Messi when he was in the club.

You know, you two don't seem to be saying his name correctly. He is Lamine Yamal, not Tamal as you both mentioned.
Lamine Yamal feels special because Barcelona found him worthy to compete for a place with Raphinha. Yamal answered some of Xavi's needs in building an attack, but some media exaggerated the news. Yamal's performances with Barcelona are improving gradually and he recently got his first goal, which is good for increasing the player's motivation to train hard with his team.

I agree that Lamine Yamal is still too young to be expected to have a big impact on Barcelona's attack, but this player is really capable of showing his best form with good skills.

Jude Bellingham before his arrival at Real Madrid was already an established great midfielder as we've seen him deliver incredible performances with Borussia Dortmund and the England national team in the past.
However, no one would have expected the England international to be this prolific when comes to scoring goals as he was known as a central midfield player before he left Borussia Dortmund. Scoring 10 goals in 10 appearances for his club is absolutely amazing and magnificent for a player of his position. What a player he is

Sometimes, I do forget that Bellingham is even a midfielder, he has established 10 goal in 10 games which means he has play 1 goal in each matches since beginning of the season, very interesting for a midfielder. I doubt if there is any player as a midfielder that has a debut like him in Real Madrid. I'm not sure about his conversion to a striker but the guy will do wellbif they let him occupied that spot for Real Madrid because it will raise his chances to score more goal in any opportunity that arrived his way.

Before facing Marllorca, Barcelona struggled and during the game with Mallorca, they didn't give a hundred percent and ended up sharing the points they should have won. Celta Vigo should have won though, but some individual performance from.some players like Joào Felix and Cancelo put them ahead. They would need to level up on how they play away games.

If you noticed Barcelona style of winning matches, they are kind of on the bad luck side of winning matches, the lower teams are the least expected teams I want to see Barcelona to use as merit of meeting staying above everyone on top of the standing but instead they drew with and then win top teams at the top of the standing, isn't that concerning? I want to see them beg for the top by the way. Grin

But playing with class is one thing, using class to eventually score important goals is another. I know you are right, but this might be the small difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid right now. Real Madrid is highly effective and they do score the one goal they need to win the game in the last minute thanks to Jude Bellingham. They are also better in their defense, which is surprising as in recent years Barcelona was the team that had the stronger defense. But I believe that Bellingham is the magic key element in Real Madrid's gameplay for the time being. Barcelona has more difficulties to make up for players who are missing games for either injury or suspension reasons. It is still not beautiful all the to watch Real Madrid play, but they win their games and it doesn't matter to them how and when. Yet Barcelona is still the only team without a loss this season.

To raise the excitement in time, at the end of October (28th) Barcelona will be facing Real Madrid in Camp Nou. That's the game I am looking forward to as I really want to know whether we finally have a high level clasico again.

The absence of their striker Lewandowski was really felt today cause Barcelona needed a very sharp strike to put in the crosses and Ferran Torres impact wasn't really felt in the match, I was very suprised to see Barcelona concede 2 goals before 30mins of the game, Barcelona really struggled to get a comeback in the game before one of their rising youngsters Yamal scored in the extra time of the 1st half.

One thing I like about Barcelona is that they were still pressing and dominating the game even while they were losing and I believe that's what gingered them to sit up and scored another goal, well I expected them to win the game based on the position where Granada is on the table and they even got a more talented players in their team.

The two goals were stupid mistakes and shouldn't have happened. But yes the real quality of a team is shown when they have to come back from those mistakes and this is what Barcelona is doing quite well at the moment. But seriously, it would be much better if they wouldn't be in that situation in the first place. If they want to keep the race tight with Real Madrid, they can't afford such mistakes on a regular basis and should be focused on the game from the very first second of the game. Any setback, even if temporary and they come back from it, costs them energy and it doesn't work out every time and they lose points like this time.

Barcelona have announced that one of their defenders, Jules Kounde, has suffered a left MCL sprain and he will be out for an unknown amount of time. Jules Kounde experienced this when playing against Granada and it seems that Barcelona will be quite disadvantaged by his absence in the next match, especially since at the end of October there will be an El Clasico match against Real Madrid. Of course Xavi will be very confused if he continues to lose his main players and we know that previously Lewandowski was also injured. Even so, at least Barcelona still has Ronald Araújo as a replacement for Jules Kounde so there are no problems for Barcelona's defense line.
Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1711344747611050164

It will be a serious problem if Kounde gets injured for a long time. Kounde is one of the main defenders on Barcelona lineup during this season. He is irreplaceable, he always plays as the starter if he is in a good condition. Barcelona needs him because Barcelona will have 3 big matches in La Liga in the near future. Barcelona will play against Athletic Club on October 23, play against Real Madrid on October 28, and play against Real Sociedad on November 05. So, it is not only about El Clasico, Barcelona also has 2 other big matches.

Moreover, Barcelona doesn't only lose Kounde, there are 5 other Barcelona players who get injured as well. They are Lewandowski, Raphinha, De Jong, Pedri, and Yamal. It is a quite complicated situation for Xavi, he must lose many key players in the next big matches. Sure, Xavi must feel confused, especially to choose the players in the attacking line. Xavi only has 2 available player attackers (Ferran Torres, Joao Felix).

Honestly, I'm curious what Xavi will do to prepare Barcelona lineups for the next 3 big matches. Undecided

The top of the table is still very close and Girona keeps on delivering these great performances. They were promoted into La Liga just two years ago and finished the last season as 10th and as it looks now they are ready to take the next step and make further progress. This looks very solid and stable so far, no real signs of weaknesses and no crack in their outstanding shape which they have been showing for weeks now. I think the first goal for them is to play like this until the season halftime and then make a first evaluation and set their goals. With 22 points won already it is hard to imagine how they could still be dealing with the relegation zone at some point.

Losing to Real Madrid, I felt they would start dropping points but they have decided to make a good show of the chance they have. They won against Cadiz which showed they meant business and want to stay longer than we have predicted.
I will wait untill halfway of the season before I can judge or give a good conclusion.

Since Lewandoski and some players would be absent, Barcelona is likely to play a first half draw or we shall witness less goals scored in the first half. More like it was against Porto during the Champions League.

I didn't expect Girona to start dropping points when they lost against Real Madrid because of the way they played against Real Madrid. That wasn't a team which is about to collapse, and the result was really more one-sided than the game really was. Girona had more ball possession and about the same number of shots, but not surprisingly Real Madrid succeeded more often in making their way through the defense and into the dangerzone in the box. It was tough for Girona to defend Vinicius Junior and Bellingham at the same time and they had some great moves, but still the result could have been closer than that.

Well,of course Barcelona is a team who cannot be underestimated but making quite some false steps in such early stages of the La Liga and against weaker opponents for me is a big red flag.Sure Real has made false steps too but they have been against stronger teams,they have lost against Atletico Madrid in the Madrid derby and except that they have been doing well.

I have said it before Real should imperatively get a striker,Mbappe being the ideal player to add to this team which desperately needs a player like him and Ancelotti should leave his ego apart and open the door for such great player.

So far I admit that Real Madrid is much better than Barcelona in solving problems. Granada was not weak against Barcelona, especially in exploiting opportunities and defending, but Barcelona failed to find a solution to win the match because of the referee's decisions and bad finishing.

I never underestimate Barcelona and that is important so that I don't make the wrong decision if I want to bet. Barcelona still managed to keep La Liga without defeat even though they are currently 3 points behind Real Madrid, but that is really not a big gap for both of them. Regarding Mbappe, I only hope that Perez will bring him in the middle of the season or after his contract with PSG expires. Right now I don't want to talk about it because it seems like Bellingham could really help to solve the problem.

Did anyone think that the performance from ter Stegen was below average in the last match? At first I thought he was getting old. But then I realized he is 31. Not even anywhere near Manuel Neuer. Or maybe he had just a bad match. At the same time the defense was also pretty weak from Barcelona.

Anyway, Barcelona has been losing some matches that they really should not be. Just like the last match. Barcelona failed to win. these matches are definitely going to affect them a lot. They are the defending champion of La Liga. it will definitely be a problem for them if they cannot win these matches. Real Madrid is already ahead by three points. Barcelona will have to keep that in mind.

José Luis Mendilibar the coach of Sevilla got fired from Sevilla because of the performance he had so far in this season.
Mendilibar won the UEFA Europa League with Sevilla and it was a great achievement for Sevilla while being in bad form, but so far in La Liga he got eight points in the eight games they had so far, and they are 13th place in the League.
Regardless of his performance in the UEFA Europa League, he was disappointing in Sevilla and they are now ready to choose another coach.

Sevilla had similarly poor form in La Liga last season, but they were really lucky to be able to clinch the Europa League title at the end of the season. Sevilla failed to improve their team's performance to get points from every match they played, in fact they has fallen out of the top four and are in 14th place from 8 matches which is bad. The team's performance is very disappointing because so far Sevilla has only been able to win 2 wins from 8 matches, while they have lost 4 times and drawn 2 times.

José Luis Mendilibar's future is certainly in big trouble, but I'm not sure if Sevilla will sack him before the first half is over. I don't think sacking José Luis Mendilibar will be the right solution if Sevilla doesn't recruit quality players, that's much more important to think about because it seems like José Luis Mendilibar lacks options for that.

Certain Barcelona will not get it easy tonight still on, the win is sure they're without se quality players though but victory would be sure at the end of the game.

A sure win, it doesnt look like it for Barcelona. It is now 2:0 for Granada, whats going on? Zaragoza has scored its second goal today. Edit A few minutes ago now the 2:1 by Lamine Yamal, that had to be so that Barca does not lose motivation after halftime. I think there will be at least two more goals and new players will come in. This will be a good 45 minutes.

Very annoying for Barcelona, because after being 2-0 behind they managed to get to 2-2 and Joao Felix even scored a goal in the 90+4 minute which was disallowed for foul play. In general, Barcelona played much better in the second half and they almost managed to turn the game around, and all of that without Lewandowski.

Even I was surprised that Barcelona conceded in the first minute, I thought, "How come?" this makes me confused and want to laugh too. Maybe this is called luck, the goal scored by Bryan in my opinion made Barca fans confused at the beginning of the match, I also thought Barca would lose the match against Granada but I did not expect Barca to be able to turn things around to draw in their last three matches in La Liga. Barcelona drew 2-2 with hosts Mallorca, won 1-0 at home to Sevilla, and drew with Granada.

Barcelona now have 21 points in third place in the standings. Barcelona are two points behind Real Madrid and one point behind Girona. However, Real Madrid and Girona have each tasted the bitterness of defeat. The other teams are the same. Only Barcelona are unbeaten until week 9. Despite being in third position, Barcelona have not suffered a defeat, this is quite good, Barcelona need to strive for victory to be in first position, but it will be difficult for them to be in first position, even later Barcelona will face Real Madrid who are at the top of the standings.

Barcelona didn't play like the Barcelona we've been seeing since that start of the season yesterday and were very lucky to have gotten a point from their game against Girona. Girona after scoring two early goals in the game wanted to defend the two goals and that was what gave Barcelona more chances to pressure for a draw.
Xavi Hernandez who's been absolutely incredible with his tactical approaches since he took over the managerial position at the club needs to go back to the drawing board and further direct his team on which way is best to play in matches like the Girona game.

Incredible, that's probably the word I would use when I see Jude Bellingham with Real Madrid this season. He's not only a creator of attack, but he's also a goal machine like you said. I'm sure Ancelotti is happy to have this player, because if he wasn't we might have seen a different story from Real Madrid this season. His arrival from Borussia Dortmund is one of the best signings for Real Madrid. with his extraordinary ability, it brings a breath of fresh air to Real Madrid, both in La Liga and in the Champions League.

Jude Belligham's goal ratio in each match looks very impressive, he almost scores one goal in every match. This achievement means that Real Madrid's mainstay young player will be one of the candidates to win the Ballon d'Or this season if he performs consistently until the end of the season. Jude Belligham can play in several positions, both as a midfielder and striker and what's great is he can always score goals. The English player's ability deserves to be given the highest marks and he is one of the most successful young players so far.

Jude Belligham's contribution looks huge at the moment and he always proves it when he plays, but however we can't ignore several other players because without them Jude Belligham wouldn't be where he is today. Previously we saw Mesut Ozil as the king of assists at Real Madrid and currently Ancelotti has versatile players in his squad.

The team is definitely watching a lot of success because of Jude Bellingham. I believe he is currently leading the top scorer board of La Liga. So far Real Madrid has not felt the need of a good striker because he has been scoring a lot for Real Madrid. This was a great brace from Jude Bellingham. He was the one to score, the first two goals. And after that Vini Junior and Joselu scored a goal each. So Real Madrid got a relatively easy win in this match.

After watching these kind of matches, we have to say that Real Madrid is performing really well and has a really good squad. Let's see if Jude Wellingham can still score goals against big opponents.

Jude Bellingham is the lifesaver for Real Madrid because they lost Benzema this season and they could hire any good striker to take his place in the team but Jude Bellingham even helped Real Madrid by scoring goals and honestly without Jude Bellingham they couldn't win many games and now we know why Carlo Ancelotti prefers to use Jude Bellingham instead of many old and legendary players in Real Madrid.

Jules Kounde experienced this when playing against Granada and it seems that Barcelona will be quite disadvantaged by his absence in the next match, especially since at the end of October there will be an El Clasico match against Real Madrid. Of course Xavi will be very confused if he continues to lose his main players and we know that previously Lewandowski was also injured. Even so, at least Barcelona still has Ronald Araújo as a replacement for Jules Kounde so there are no problems for Barcelona's defense line.

There is a lot of time until the match against Real Madrid, they have 2 more matches ahead of them. Until then, there may be other players in the team who are injured or, on the contrary, can recover

They need to focus on the Champions League match right now. They may have lost points badly in yesterday's match, but they always have a chance to make up for the points they lost in the league, the Champions League is the most important one

Well,of course Barcelona is a team who cannot be underestimated but making quite some false steps in such early stages of the La Liga and against weaker opponents for me is a big red flag.Sure Real has made false steps too but they have been against stronger teams,they have lost against Atletico Madrid in the Madrid derby and except that they have been doing well.

I have said it before Real should imperatively get a striker,Mbappe being the ideal player to add to this team which desperately needs a player like him and Ancelotti should leave his ego apart and open the door for such great player.

So far I admit that Real Madrid is much better than Barcelona in solving problems. Granada was not weak against Barcelona, especially in exploiting opportunities and defending, but Barcelona failed to find a solution to win the match because of the referee's decisions and bad finishing.

I never underestimate Barcelona and that is important so that I don't make the wrong decision if I want to bet. Barcelona still managed to keep La Liga without defeat even though they are currently 3 points behind Real Madrid, but that is really not a big gap for both of them. Regarding Mbappe, I only hope that Perez will bring him in the middle of the season or after his contract with PSG expires. Right now I don't want to talk about it because it seems like Bellingham could really help to solve the problem.

I will actually say that both of the teams had good chances to actually win this match. One thing I will criticize about Barcelona is the goalkeeping. It was definitely not good from Barcelona. We can say that the defense could have been better in general. But the goalkeeping could have been much better in my opinion. Can anyone tell me why the last goal was disallowed because of offside? Did the player actually touch the ball? I thought he did not.

I thought Barcelona was going to win this match. I will also say that Barcelona should have been able to win this match. if Barcelona cannot make sure that they get three points from these matches, it is going to be hard for them to defend the title successfully.

Barcelona deserved to win the match against Granada, but that didn't happen because the referee did not approve Joao Felix's goal. This was a controversial decision according to some opinions, even Barcelona did not seem to take this decision for granted. But whatever it means, it has all happened and Xavi has to accept it.

Granada spent a lot of time on nothing in the second half. They didn't move much from their defensive area and fortunately that made it really difficult for Barcelona to score goals. Barcelona, who put high pressure on Granada's defense, managed to score a goal back through Sergi Roberto, but unfortunately Felix's goal was disallowed.
