Considering the formation Ancelotti is using right now there is no way Joselu aren't playing. Because he needs 2 strikers in the attacking line and there are only two available right now. If Vinicius Junior didn't get injured he would have been in Joselu's place that's for sure. However this can at least be a chance for Joselu.
He scored a goal against Getafe. If he maintains this effort as much as possible he can compete really well with Rodrygo. When Vinicius Junior is back maybe we might even see Joselu beside him. But this task isn't going to be easy considering Rodrygo's playing really good too.

The next puzzle for Villarreal's coach has been revealed and he is Pacheta. Previously we knew that Raul was being considered as Villarreal coach this season but it seems that no agreement has been reached between the two. So Raul will return to managing Real Madrid Castilla.
Pacheta has been appointed as a replacement for coach Setien who failed to win in several previous matches and now the former Valladolid coach will try his hand at returning as a coach after being absent for 2 years. If you look at his coaching career, he actually never managed big teams and more often handled mediocre teams. Even so, I am quite sure he will add new color to the Villarreal squad and I hope he is able to improve the players' performance.
Barcelona are strong in midfield and forward line but their defense is not that strong. No matter how much Xavi plans, his plans will not work if the defense line does not perform well. In every match that Barcelona have played so far in La Liga, we have noticed the extreme weakness of Barcelona's defense, especially the three goals that Barcelona conceded against Villarreal were completely due to the failure of Barcelona's defense. If the defense is bad against the relatively small teams, then against the big teams, the Barcelona defense will not care. At the moment, Barcelona's defense should be given the most importance. Because it is difficult to score full points if the defense is not strong.
I believe that Xavi can overcome all these problems, he just needs a little time to fulfill Xavi promise which will improve the performance of all Barcelona players. In fact, I am sure that Xavi is currently planning to improve his defense line by replacing players or using other strategies to be able to balance the attack line with the defense line. and on the one hand we actually have to be able to appreciate how Xavi contributed to Barcelona only with existing players without having to transfer large numbers of players due to the unstable financial situation but the coach was able to bring Barcelona in almost the same condition as last season and we just Its quite confident that Barcelona will not lose the title in La Liga unless a surprise comes from Real Madrid which will surprisingly put strong pressure on Barcelona and if by the middle of this season Barcelona is unable to add more points, it is certain that the La Liga title will no longer be theirs. legendary

Actually, in La Liga, Rea Sociedad is also not a small club and has sometimes given good surprises. It's just a matter of how Real Madrid can optimize its performance again or not. But usually, Real Madrid will be superior to this club. If you look at Head 2 Head, Real Madrid clearly won more. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Atletico vs Valencia, I believe Atletico Madrid should not experience high obstacles. Valencia didn't start the season very well. They are still inconsistent and sometimes cannot optimize their chances. Here, Atletico Madrid might still be able to gain more advantages than Valencia.
Meanwhile at UC, you could say that Lazio is tougher than Berlin. However, no one can guarantee that because sometimes German clubs can also provide quite strong surprises in the Champions League. But of course, which club can handle more, the results will be more optimal.
Real Sociedad is one of the promising clubs with having reputation for staying at the top of the league table and their performance is also mostly we organized which helps them for keeping in-touch with top ranked clubs this match could be not easy for the Real Madrid even they are playing at home and have enough chances with their performance is also at the best after having all 12 points form first three games.Meanwhile at UC, you could say that Lazio is tougher than Berlin. However, no one can guarantee that because sometimes German clubs can also provide quite strong surprises in the Champions League. But of course, which club can handle more, the results will be more optimal.
Atlético Madrid is having impressive start with Valencia is having poor start even first two wins were good but now things coming on normal with 2 defeats are surely not good for them with now having fifth round game against Atlético Madrid which is currently one of the best team for better results and staying at the top ranks for few more weeks.
What Atlético Madrid is doing is an improvement from last season, and they looked stronger at the start of this season and if they can maintain their consistency I think this will be very dangerous for Barcelona and Real Madrid for the title.
I think against Valencia it will not be difficult for Atlético Madrid, the big win in the last match certainly made this team's confidence increase quite drastically.
Real Sociedad is one of the promising clubs with having reputation for staying at the top of the league table and their performance is also mostly we organized which helps them for keeping in-touch with top ranked clubs this match could be not easy for the Real Madrid even they are playing at home and have enough chances with their performance is also at the best after having all 12 points form first three games.
It seems that Real Sociedad is not a difficult opponent for Real Madrid and even though Real Sociedad is performing quite well and can be said to be one of the teams that is able to compete with the top but when they meet Real Madrid they team still far below Real Madrid capabilities.Moreover it is true that Real Madrid has the advantage in home games and it looks like Real Sociedad will have continuous difficulties later.
If you choose the betting option Real Madrid is the favorite but if you want to look for a safe prediction goals for both teams are also the right choice.

Valencia vs Atletico Madrid will be more difficult to guess who will win later and indeed Atletico Madrid started the season well but when you look at the statistics of the meetings between the two there are more draws and in the last meeting in La Liga last season it was Valencia who won the match with a score thin 1 - 0.Maybe this time it will also end with a 1 - 1 draw.

Lewandowski has admitted that he has slow start this season because if we compared to his goal records last season is much better than now and even his goals records with Poland national team is much better than in Barcelona and Lewandowski has been complaining Xavi tactic while Barcelona only playing draw against Getafe last month this because he hasn't gets enough ball supply from the midfielder so that's why he was unable to scores at that time but i think it's only a matter of time to see Lewandowski reach to his top performance again because gradually he has found his shape again and the latest proof is he was able to scores two times in a row when Barcelona win from Osasuna and Villarreal
Xavi has implemented the best strategy for every opponent they face. but if the opponent has a good strategy to cut off Barca's attack ball in their midfield and not let Lewandowsky and Barca's attack line get enough ball then that is the difficulty Barca is experiencing.Barca have a possession game with a strong midfield, what they need is to find a gap for the attack line to get a chance and immediately send the ball forward. Lewandowsky must catch up with them by scoring more goals. that will help Barca, and the connection with the midfield must continue to be developed.
Laliga campaign extremely competitive and fierce this season, it's just a matter of time before things get clearer for the yellow submarines. Quique Setien have been replaced and no longer the headcoach for Villarreal after his poor stats this new season, recording 1W 0D 3L in just four games, that means the fans should expect more horrible game results, so the board didn't relent and have to do what they got to do, to make the team a promising one. Jose 'Pacheta' Rojo Martin as been appointed as the new boss, that means alot of things will change since he's arriving to revived the club from the mess it is presently.
Setien's deserved it. Villareal shall not have plunged even deeper than this time. Mendilibar is now in a huge pressure after sevilla was still having 0 goals from a few matches. It's a horrible record by mendilibar after this coach was able giving sevilla one trophy last season. Will mendilibad have the same fate as satien from villareal? that's pretty interesting to wait the final decision from sevilla. The club needs to go up as soon as possible as sevilla needs to win the match in UCL to get decent amounts of money.
Sevilla is in a critical situation right now. I can't even watch it if sevilla keep gets another loose. The upcoming match against atletico madrid is also very hard for this club with the current condition.
Winning against atletico madrid is an impossible task that must be done by mendilibar with the current squad.

It can be true, they need a new striker for another option in the attacking line. When Lewandowski can't perform well, Felix can be the option to strengthen Barcelona attacking. However, considering the last performance of Felix when he joined Chelsea, I'm not sure Felix is strong enough to be the mainstay player for Barcelona. He is still young, but he isn't a typical player who can maintain his good performance a long time. He is very unstable player.
I think Barcelona has no other option, they take a loan option for Felix because Barcelona has limited money. If Barcelona has bigger funds, I'm sure they will choose other striker who has more stable performance like Lautaro Martínez or Victor Osimhen. So, it is very obvious that Felix is just for a short term solution for Barcelona attacking.
Actually João Félix is not center forward and can't replace well with position from Robert Lewandowski have underperformance or absent for Barcelona, when playing second half season for Chelsea, João Félix put as second striker and some time played in left winger position and he is not as center forward player typical. Current transfer from Barcelona as free and loan due financial problem make Barcelona hasn't option for buying top players. I think Barcelona has no other option, they take a loan option for Felix because Barcelona has limited money. If Barcelona has bigger funds, I'm sure they will choose other striker who has more stable performance like Lautaro Martínez or Victor Osimhen. So, it is very obvious that Felix is just for a short term solution for Barcelona attacking.
João Félix have made debut last match with Barcelona but he not played full and waiting when get starting line up for playing in the first minute will give more contribution for Barcelona or not? João Félix have loyal for agree 50% salary cut off and Xavi Hernandez have looking potential from him how to back to the top performance with Barcelona.
I prefer to think that they are struggling to score goals rather than not trying to score many goals in a match because looking at their condition for the beginning of this season it seems very difficult for them to score more than 2 goals in 1 match.
There still needs to be some familiarisation when trying out some of the younger players and Lewandowski's performance is still hampered by the opposition's marking which makes it difficult for Barcelona to find many goals in their matches.
Despite this the chances of them winning definitely remain as they are the favourites and the worst possibility is a draw although this would be difficult for Betis to force a draw.
I just hope Robert Lewandowski get back to his full potential like that at Bayern Munich were he could be able to score several hat tricks in one season, ever since he came to Barcelona I've not really been impressed with his performance compared to when he was at Bayern Munich, Barcelona are known to be very dominant and very high in possession on the pitch, they love to press their opponents and force them out of their defense line which is a very fine tactics that could make them easily win matches against smaller club but you'll find them pressing and failing to put the ball into the net, and it would fall back to Lewandowski inconsistency for Barcelona, since he's the top 9 it's his responsibility to get the ball into the net but it's been uneasy for him instead it's the Barcelona wingers and Midfielders that mostly scores for them.

Of the three La Liga promotion teams so far, perhaps only Alaves has had pretty good results. They collected 6 points from 4 matches and when compared to Granada or Las Palmas who only collected 3 and 2 points, it is clear that Alaves is still ahead of both of them. Moreover, Alaves' victory beat two veteran teams in the league such as Sevilla and Valencia, so this time they will be considered the underdog team this season. However, what is clear is that Alaves will not be able to go far into the top 4 positions and they will more likely dominate the middle of the table this season.
In fact, Alaves had to go through the play offs first to be promoted to LaLiga this season. Also, if we compare with Granada who won the LaLiga2 title last season, and Las Palmas who became the runner up. So at least, it is not easy for Alaves to become a promoted team with the process it went through in the play offs. But anyway, at this moment at least Alaves managed to be the best compared to Granada and Las Palmas. But even so, at least any result can still happen from time to time, and there is no strong guarantee for Alaves to be stable in the middle zone in the La Liga standings this season.

It's still early in the season and there's still a lot of time for the teams to improve, Barcelona currently looks weak in terms of defense but Real Madrid also has problems in the front line, in the last few matches Real Madrid has had quite a hard time scoring goals.So I think these two top La Liga teams have different problems now, but how these teams can handle them and get out of these problems will be profitable for them to be able to chase the title this season.
Barcelona has a good right-back at the moment, which is definitely useful considering that so far Barcelona doesn't have a good right-back. Cancelo and Balde will likely be the main choices in most matches, while Araujo (currently still injured) and Kounde will play as central defenders. This could solve Barcelona's defensive problems, but Barcelona must do it carefully.
Well, the case of Barcelona is very far from what can be done in reality, because for many it is the best team in the world, but that is not the case, it was very far from being one of the best especially because of what it has shown with Xavi, where he has looked for signings where he himself has not been able to get, and the one who chose the best was Lewa, and in this order of ideas we can think that things can change here, for what he has been Demonstrating in the League is fine, but where I really want to see the level of Barcelona is for other competitions, like in the UCL I want to see why they relatively had a very easy group, the truth is that if they don't pass there it is because they are very bad.
So what they can prove is very good, but what they can prove to be is that since they are in a UCL where the best are, they can find a Barcelona vs City , that game I still Want to see, I hope it can happen, because in Barcelona there are I have to see it with the big teams, also with Madrid, with Madrid, which is the team for which they play very well, and According to that, they play with great enthusiasm, that's how I want to see it, but for me there is still a long way to go a lot.
Xavi is ‘delighted’ with Barcelona summer arrival, player has fitted in seamlessly – report
Quote
Barcelona made several signings over the course of the summer transfer window and while the deadline-day arrivals of Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo appear to have captured all the attention, the Catalans have seemingly struck gold with Ilkay Gundogan.
The 32-year-old German international arrived at the club on a free transfer after his contract with Manchester City expired at the end of the last season.
Xavi very happy with Gundogan
And, just four matches into the new season, Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez is ‘delighted’ with Gundogan and the impact he has made on the team, reports Sergi de Juan of SPORT.
Xavi believes that the former Manchester City captain understands the game and his tactics perfectly and the player’s intelligence allows him to grasp everything very quickly.
Given the way that Barça play, top stars have had difficulties adapting to the style in the past, but there has been no such issue with Gundogan, whose time under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City has most certainly helped.
In fact, as per the report, Xavi puts Gundogan on the same level as Pedri as far as understanding his plans and executing them on the pitch most consistently are concerned.

In this order of ideas, we hope that the Barcelona team has great options to do something great, now how can we better see Barcelona's chances of being able to win because things can get much better, so if we start to see it could be for Barcelona to do well , but they have to face bigger teams, and that's what you want to see, with Madrid for example, rivalry has always existed and that makes it very spicy, that's why I support that at Barcelona gets the best players, because I want to see them do very well with Madrid, and with the other teams, because I would feel bad if Madrid had a dream team and won easily, every soccer game has to be the best, and face each other with all their arsenal, if that's how I like to see Barcelona and Madrid, in UCL I want to see both teams with full potential, I think that makes it very exciting, winning against the strongest.
When I hear some talks about Madrid being the strongest or the team that have best young talents (which is true, that's in the la Liga) I just smile because I don't see anything special about Madrid and I still believe that with the absence of Benzema that team can't get more goals than they did last season and in the champions league they won't be a threat.
It's yet being a special club caused by madrid was always relying on 1 player. The club played average like last season. There's no something special about that. I don't even see impressive performances came from the players other than bellingham. Madrid could not always rely on him.
With Vinicius Jr on that team it doesn't even seem to be the way it was when they had Benzene, because they both have that understanding than with Bellingham on the mix and if care is not taken Vinicius Jr won't be on the spot light and it will surely affect them because when the runs isn't coming the goals and attack won't be effective, it will only be one man running himself out.
Bellingham is one kid that needs to be led by someone with enough experience like I said earlier, if not let Madrid just get ready to miss out on titles this season.

Ancellotti has joselu as a new striker but this guy was still being very far from my expectation. I thought that if madrid could do better than this. Bellingham was attacking midfielder but ancellotti says that he has found new benzema. 
Relying upon attacking midfielder to play as good as the pure striker is a big deal took by madrid. Joselu shall be feeling shame seeing how bellingham was always helping the club so much.

If you are the coach what would you have done?
The club did let him (lack of funds in the transfer window, I think) get what he wants so he had to improvise and don't blame Joselu, Madrid is full of too much expectations and if you can't keep up then you end up in the bench or somewhere nobody can even interview you.
I just hope Bellingham do more for Madrid, if not the board would be looking for a replacement come January.
Quote
True but madrid was unwilling to spend a lot of money for him.
Madrid are still eying Mbappe that's why they didn't put much effort to get Kane and they shouldn't forget that Madrid is Madrid, when they finally get him (Mbappe) he can even be at his worse so no player should forget that the expectations in Madrid is beyond repair.

True but madrid was unwilling to spend a lot of money for him. I think Real Madrid seriously needed a replacement for Modric than Benzema and that's why they got Jude Bellingham to fill in the Midfield area in case Modric leaves by next summer and so far the money they paid for Bellingham is not a waste because he's adapt so fast and is currently their star player, maybe next year Madrid might work on the striker position if Joselu who is on loan fails to impress this season and I think they may probably get Victor Osimhen or Kylian Mbappe.

Until Carlos Ancelotti gets a new striker I don't think they'd go far in the champions league even in some domestic competitions. If they're seeing Jude Bellingham as the replacement for big Benz I think they're making a mistake, he's still young and such responsibility is just too much for him as a young lad, because injury can take him out anytime soon and he might even drop form due to fatigue.
Ancellotti has joselu as a new striker but this guy was still being very far from my expectation. I thought that if madrid could do better than this.

Don't get me wrong on this, Bellingham is a good talent and he needs to be taken into the battlefield with an experience player and if Madrid had gotten Kane I feel it would have been a good fit for the business.
True but madrid was unwilling to spend a lot of money for him. 
It could be the reason why barcelona signed felix as lewa's age may become the main concern soon. Lewa's performance is also dropping a lot compared with las season. Take felix as a trial was the one of solution owned by barcelona as a preparation once lewa will leave from club but consider lewa's contract will be last till 25/26 season and i think that barcelona can still rely on it till the end of his contract.
It can be true, they need a new striker for another option in the attacking line. When Lewandowski can't perform well, Felix can be the option to strengthen Barcelona attacking.

I just hope Robert Lewandowski get back to his full potential like that at Bayern Munich were he could be able to score several hat tricks in one season, ever since he came to Barcelona I've not really been impressed with his performance compared to when he was at Bayern Munich, Barcelona are known to be very dominant and very high in possession on the pitch, they love to press their opponents and force them out of their defense line which is a very fine tactics that could make them easily win matches against smaller club but you'll find them pressing and failing to put the ball into the net, and it would fall back to Lewandowski inconsistency for Barcelona, since he's the top 9 it's his responsibility to get the ball into the net but it's been uneasy for him instead it's the Barcelona wingers and Midfielders that mostly scores for them.
Don't rely on it. He is already 35. I will be surprised if he still plays in Europe next season. I think he is in decline and it began in Bayern (it was not for nothing that Bayern did not want to sign a long-term contract with him and only offered him a year), but we did not notice this because Bayern itself was fine. In Barcelona, this problem manifested itself and given the fact that Barcelona’s affairs this season are not as good as in the past, it is unlikely that Lewandowski will show himself better.
Well, Barcelona trend in Laliga this season is also very good, even though in the first match they achieved a draw, they quickly returned to winning ways. Well, a new star has emerged in the Barcelona squad, he is Lamine Yamal, I think he will help Lewandowski to continue scoring goals this season or vice versa.

We can only wait and see how consistent his performance till the end of season. Lewa was complaning to the xavi's strategy. His age indirectly affecting his performance but since he was the only good striker in barcelona. The club still counts on him this season.
