Last season many didn't believe Real Madrid will be able to win the Champions league, and this season people don't still have strong believe in real madrid winning the champions. Real Madrid defeating Liverpool in the first and second leg competition speaks a lot about Real Madrid. I believe Real madrid is a strong team that can always get what they want. Real Madrid stands a better chance of winning the champions league this season than every other team in the Champions league.
Last season, many believed that because there were no injured players, everyone still had hope for Real Madrid to win the Champions League. But when it comes to matches this season, that hope may vanish because currently many of the best players from Real Madrid are playing. Injuries, as everyone knows in the world of football, can happen.

Doubting Real Madrid in the Champions League is clearly absurd, but nevertheless they must hope that there is a new candidate as a winner instead of just Real Madrid always filling the title cupboard.
After all not everyone is a fan of Real Madrid, while many people are also fans of the Premier League team which represents one of the best leagues in the world right now. You have to understand otherwise, so it's not because they don't realize Real Madrid's greatness as the king in the Champions League. I'm not even a Real Madrid fan, but I watch their match a lot instead of just talking about it all the time.
There is a lot of chance involved in winning a major competition. Take for example the world cup, it was between Argentina and France and anyone could have won because they both were perfectly able to succeed at the endeavour. It is the same in all major competitions, there are always 5 or 6 teams that have a go at the win and the randomness is part of the competition.

Atletico Madrid might have a chance to catch up with Real Madrid even more this week. Because I believe Real Madrid are likely to lose the El Clasico as I said before.
Atletico Madrid have a home game against Valencia meanwhile. I don't expect this game to be very challenging for them. Because they are already on an amazing unbeaten streak now and they are winning so many games recently. This should be a huge motivation for them to keep this going. Valencia aren't one of the teams that can make big difficulties for them.
If indeed that happens, when Madrid lose here, their chance is also closed to catch Barcelona and let this season's trophy fall to Barcelona.Atletico Madrid have a home game against Valencia meanwhile.

Madrid clearly knows this, so they can't lose again now, especially since this could also be a decision for them whether they can still catch up or not.
It's really a shame if they must to lose again in this match.

I think Barcelona will win both of those games, and even though el classico is always different in a sense, it will not be too shocking this year. Barcelona is not in europa anymore whereas Real is still in UCL and that is the only reason. Have you seen how tired the players were by the end of the liverpool game?
Benzema basically hopping, even Vinicious, who is a fast player with a big lung, ended up not running after the ball for the last minutes. Sure that could be because they knew they won, but they looked gassed a lot. I think this type of schedule will make them more and more tired, so Barcelona players will be more rested and be easily winning the game.
Barcelona have won 3 of their last 5 matches against Real Madrid in El Clasico since last season until this season. This time Barcelona is also very likely to win their 4th El Clasico at Camp Nou because their performance is good. Then is it certain, of course not because I think El Clasico is very difficult to predict especially this season.Benzema basically hopping, even Vinicious, who is a fast player with a big lung, ended up not running after the ball for the last minutes.

Barcelona's strong defense will make Real Madrid look for a solution, but Barcelona are not only good in defense but they are also sharp in strikers. Lewandowski is very dangerous, as well as Raphinha who is getting used to scoring goals. Pedri's return will certainly bring good hope for a better game, but I doubt he can appear in El Clasico this time.
I disagree. Even though it is a game in Camp Nou for Real Madrid, they have now shown a very solid performance against Liverpool and demonstrated how good they are at exercising control over the game. Barcelona has the advantage that Real Madrid can't afford to lose and has to be aggressive, but that doesn't mean Barcelona can just wait and see. Real's offense is able to score anytime.
When you mention sharp strikers on Barcelona's side, I am not sure whether they are in top shape right now. Lewandowski had a great start but slowed down a lot in overall scoring. If I had to make a guess I think that game is going to end in a tie. Real Madrid is too strong to lose it and in Copa del Rey they could have also won the game. But Barcelona is not so dominant that I wouid say they are likely to beat Real. It's going to be a great fight.
real madrid in the champions league is not the same as real madrid in the league and for this reason that every time we are playing against barcelona we are losing, you can see the odds at the bookmakers:
Barcelona = @2.21
Real Madrid = @3.30
So you have to ask yourself why the bookmakers are giving this advantage odd to barcelona and not to real madrid who won the champions league match? And you'll find out that the reason is quite simple: in La Liga, Real Madrid hasn't performed well this season, Benzema has been injured then gets better and then comes back injured, and Real Madrid's defense is worse than Barcelona's, while barcelona manage to play well in la liga, they have good attack and defense, not to mention that they have a young team. I particularly still don't know if I'll bet on this game
Real Valladolid - Athletic Bilbao
Real Valladolid comes to this game with mixed results in the last 5 games, being that they managed to have 1 victory, 2 defeats and 2 draws, in 25 games they only managed to score 19 goals, but conceded 35 goals, they have serious problems in the attack. on the other hand we have Athletic Bilbao who in the last 5 games managed only 1 victory, suffered 3 defeats and had 1 draw, they also have not been performing well this season, but they are better than their opponent when compared to the number of goals in the 25 games. i think this is a very difficult game to predict the result
Benzema's injury will indeed hamper his current performance. El Clasico which will be held soon will be a pretty fierce match. Benzema also said he would try to perform and he was confident he would recover from his injury. Even so, his 35-year-old physique with injuries will not give his full performance. Real madrid really needs a talented striker who can replace benzema. Some of the candidates who allegedly could replace Benzema include Kylian Mbappe, Richarlison, Erling Haaland, Victor Osimhen and Goncalo Ramos, of the five top Bombers this young player might be one of Real Madrid's choices.
Karim benzema's injury isn't gonna give way to anything good, as far as I know; he's been taken down and it usually takes time for his recovery,...not like mbappe that healed really fast,..though it depends on the kinda injuries anyways.... A type like the Shin Splints, or the Achilles tendon that takes almost a season to revive.Madrid needs an alternative striker as you said, and I think they don't have any strong one for now...IMHO, that should be settled in case of some unforseen eventualities like this one.
Edit: Madrid is simply gonna either retain their position with much difficulties, or drop down below the table.

At the moment Real Madrid's chances of becoming champions are no greater than Barcelona, but they are still in the Champions League, so in theory they will definitely focus more on the Champions League than La Liga. Because when they hope for La Liga at the same time they also have to wait for Barcelona to lose a lot of points and that is a difficult thing to happen. Especially now they also want the title after several seasons they failed to get it.
Real Madrid seems to have to give up La Liga to Barcelona this season. And for the Champions League I can't say if Real Madrid managed to conquer the Champions League again this season. There have been many doubts about their performance in the UCL this season, based on the participants not much has changed from last season's quarter finals, but in terms of performance there have been changes.
Talking about the competition for the top 4 rankings, it seems that Atletico Madrid are not really safe now, yes they can still catch their points in just 2 matches if they lose. Reat Betis and Villarreal are still a threat because more than 10 games is the number of games that will change everything. For a while they can sit comfortably, but they must not let their guard down and must stay focused on their goals, especially winning every week.
But taking nothing away from this fantastic Real Madrid team, I don't see them dethroning the Barcelona from the summit of the table this season. The league title is all that Barca got at the moment which is why they'll be playing with all composure, seriousness and desire.
Karim Benzema is now 35 years old. And maintaining fitness at this age is very difficult. Benzema is often facing injuries. Real Madrid management should have found a suitable replacement for Benzema. But in the last few seasons, Madrid has not been able to find a replacement for Benzema. And so now Real Madrid's performance is deteriorating if Benzema is not with the squad due to injury. And Real Madrid management is definitely responsible for this. However, with players like Vini and Rodry gaining experience, Madrid's overall performance will be stronger. But it is time-consuming.
Actually, when talking about fitness, this is also not the first time he has often been injured because almost every year he is vulnerable, but indeed the condition that he is getting older makes it more difficult for him to maintain fitness so in this case the more injuries this obviously increasingly interferes with in playing.His condition is still a vital one so far, but judging by his age, it is clear that Madrid also needs someone other than Benzema to serve as a target.

La Liga still leaves 13 matches. Barcelona is still in the lead at the moment. some strong teams and some teams that should be able to make Read positive won it. this does require consistency to achieve it. but more people believe Xavi and Barca will earn La Liga caps this season. and it will be a great job for Xavi and the team.this will be a great start for next season. hopefully, Barcelona can achieve it.
In terms of points, actually the only thing that can hinder Barcelona from bringing the trophy is just bad luck now and as long as they don't have that then they can clearly be said to be champions from now on even though there are still a lot of matches.
Barcelona have won 3 of their last 5 matches against Real Madrid in El Clasico since last season until this season. This time Barcelona is also very likely to win their 4th El Clasico at Camp Nou because their performance is good.
You can't predict the result of the next El Classico based on the result of previous El Classico matches. As far as I know, El Classico match is always difficult to predict. Real Madrid often won in Barcelona home, while Barcelona most wins are in Bernabeu. This simply shows us that home or aways has no significant impact on El Classico.One factor that may have a big impact on the next El Classico is the current performance of both clubs. Since the current performance of Real Madrid and Barcelona looks good, the next El Classico seems to be a tight match. I think there will be a lack of goals, maybe 2-3 goals only during the match.
Barcelona's strong defense will make Real Madrid look for a solution, but Barcelona are not only good in defense but they are also sharp in strikers. Lewandowski is very dangerous, as well as Raphinha who is getting used to scoring goals.
Both Real Madrid and Barcelona have good defenders and attackers. I don't see Barcelona is more superior in defense line or in attacking line. These lines are eaqual on both teams. The difference is probably in the midfielders.-snip-

This is like one of the biggest chances for Barcelona to win another El Clasico truthfully. I think the reason is already visible.
Barcelona have already made a big gap with Real Madrid in the La Liga now. This has just pushed Real Madrid to care about the Champions League more than this league. I don't say that it is bad for Real Madrid of course. In the end the Champions League is the most prestigious tournament for European teams. But I mean this situation can help Barcelona capture a mental advantage before even the match starts. Barcelona defeated Real Madrid in their latest matchup in the Copa del Rey. This time the match is even in Camp Nou and I expect another victory by them.

Barcelona have been very impressive this season, they are currently leading the league table with 8 points ahead of Real Madrid. I keep wondering why they have not been successful in European competitions the same way they have been successful in Spain and something tells me probably they are not so good as they seem to be after all but they will have to remain consistent to hold on to their lead for the rest of the season.
Barcelona are good, but they need time to start playing at their best in European competitions, Xavi's influence on the team in the La Liga and Copa del rey can be seen by everyone, he is still new to coaching, so very soon he will start performing well as a manager in the champions league. The disappointment they faced in the European competition will not matter if they win the La Liga, and maybe the copa del rey, these trophies are enough for them this season, then they can start doing better in the champions league from next season.

As a player, Xavi has been able to win the UCL trophy for Barcelona, but as a coach, Xavi still needs time to understand the character of the opponent's game which they are not only plays in Spain, Barcelona will play against the best teams from all over Europe. If Xavi's capabilities can reach the implementation of this strategy, I belive Xavi can win UCL or UEL trophies. But Xavi need to know oppenents weaknes or players movements from their opponent that play outside the Spanish club doesn't grow-up, maybe his fate will be the same as that of PSG, there are lots of quality players but getting to the final round is difficult.Agree, one of the obstacles that hinders Barcelona from developing better in Europe seems to be because Barcelona still has financial problems. If the problem is not financial, then the problem is with Xavi who may still not be able to implement a strategy and or make the right rotation when playing in Europe, both in the Champions League and also in the Europa League.
But I think this or the European tournament can be ruled out first because after all, with Xavi having managed to build Barcelona back to dominate the domestic league, I think that's good enough for Barcelona. Because indeed, of course it will be difficult to raise a team from chaos when the situation is not conducive.

There will be 2 more meetings between these two teams, in La Liga and in the Copa Del Rey. In the Copa Del Rey in the first leg Real Madrid had to lose at home alone with a score of 0-1, and that made their task even more difficult in the second leg later. Apart from them having to chase 1 goal on aggregate they will also play at home to Barcelona. But if they can win in this match their chances of becoming champions are very big.
I think Barcelona will win both of those games, and even though el classico is always different in a sense, it will not be too shocking this year.
