I'm a fan of Real Madrid, but I like to do analysis based on the data, we have the following scenario in La Liga:
1 - Barcelona = played 25 games, scored 47 goals and only conceded 8 goals.
2 - Real madrid = played 25 games, scored 50 goals and conceded 19 goals
when we look at barcelona, we can clearly see that their performance is simply very good, that's something incredible, they only conceded 8 goals in 25 games, and have scored 47 goals. does anyone really have the courage to look at these data and say that barcelona is not doing well? europe league games are things that should not count when analyzing the performance of teams in the local league
As a Barcelona fan, I personally am not too satisfied with what they show. in particular, after slipping up in the Champions League. in fact, not infrequently, even though Barcelona won the match, in fact they played badly. IMO, a lot of the luck factor. in the second half of this season, I am quite happy with what Barcelona is showing. Xavi, found an effective system for his team. Barcelona's defeat in the playoffs, I can really understand. because, they did not play badly in the two meetings against United. unfortunately, in that match, several of Barcelona's core players could not appear due to injury. plus, card accumulation. so, naturally if they do not perform optimally.
But, I have to be objective in this assessment. Barcelona still has weaknesses, especially when they are getting high pressing from the opposing team. not infrequently, Barcelona players find it difficult to come out under pressure. also, they are less able to maximize in counter-attack situations. but, at least I'm happy if Barcelona is on the right track to win the La Liga trophy this season.
On the other hand, Madrid has experienced a decline in performance this season. IMO, that's perfectly normal. because, there were many factors that made Don Carlo's team experience a decline. besides there are several players who were injured, plus Benzema is also prone to injury. Casemio's departure had quite an effect on El Real's performance. the presence of Tchouameni as a substitute for Casemiro, has not been able to give his best game, naturally, he still needs a lot of experience.
Apart from that, what I said does not justify anything. I'm just saying from my point of view. but by the way, I hope in the El Clasico match later. Both of these teams, showing the best version of the game.
