Right now the point difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona is six but remember Real Madrid has played one match less compared to Barcelona. So if Real Madrid is able to win the next match the point difference is going to be only three and that difference is going to be very easy for Real Madrid to overcome. Barcelona will have to be very careful. Nobody already expects them to win the Champions League title anyway. So they better do very well in the La Liga competition. They have a lot of young players in the squad. They can actually perform well with them. And I definitely do not want Barcelona to lose their credibility

Barcelona loss to Real Sociedad really affects their chances of maintaining those outstanding points differences, now they only need to lose one more game and Real Madrid winning their fixtures to then catch up on the table. The absence of some Barcelona key player were felt in the game, the loss was never the option, i also watched how the coached was reacting when the game was still on, i bet he expected a better result. There is still more time for the club to work on achieving the title, the season started with them becoming the favorite, not good if Madrid will from their slacking performance later on beats them the spot and emerge as the winner of the La Liga once again.
That's right, the defeat was very beneficial for Real Madrid. Hansi Flick was clearly very disappointed with the result of the match, although Barcelona still has the opportunity to maintain a 3-point gap going forward. As for La Liga lovers, the tight competition to win the top of the standings is certainly very exciting, it will make La Liga look more competitive. Overall, the pressure will be even heavier if Real Madrid recovers and performs consistently after the international break, it is not easy for Hansi Flick squad to maintain the points difference until the end of the season.
The points gap would have been 6 if Barcelona had earned full points in their last match. Barcelona have dropped points against easy opponents in the last match in La Liga and Real Madrid have picked up full points in the other league match, bringing Real Madrid closer to Barcelona's points with these full points. With only a few matches of the season completed, I believe Real Madrid will narrow this point gap with Barcelona in the next few matches to climb back to the top of the points table. But if Barcelona are really serious about their local league then they will not be allowed to drop points in any more matches then it will be possible for them to retain the title this season.
After only a few matches of the season, it will not be possible to compete and get the main results. Barcelona and Real Madrid are separated by only 6 points. If Real Madrid can win their last match then the points gap will reduce to 3. Barcelona are at the top with 33 points after 13 matches played in the 2024-2025 season with 11 wins and 2 losses. On the other hand, Real Madrid are in the top two of the points table with 27 points from 12 matches with 8 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. I am worried about Real Madrid's recent performance. Their form in the Champions League is not going well at all. Although La-Liga and the Champions League are two different stages, the injury barrage in the Real camp still worries me.

Hansi Flick only advantage at the moment is having a complete squad, while Real Madrid are experiencing a storm of injuries, in their last match when they won against Osasuna, they also had to lose three players. The defeat to Sociedad means Hansi Flick has to be more careful in formulating his strategy, he needs to maintain the balance of his squad in order to keep the distance with Real Madrid. The gap of only 3 points makes the competition for the top of the standings even more exciting, Real Madrid is still a big threat to Barcelona even though Ancelotti has a little difficulty in formulating his squad due to many key players being injured.
Although Barcelona lost against Real Sociedad in the last match, we still have to admit that Barcelona's squad is very strong. Barcelona has a perfect squad this season. The three attacking players Raphinha, Yamal and Lewandowski are able to score a lot of goals. In almost every match we can see good performance from Barcelona's players. Also, Barcelona is getting better performance from midfielder Dani Olmo.
On the other hand, Ancelotti has not been able to stabilize the Real Madrid team so far. Madrid's overall performance is still irregular. Real Madrid has lost points in several matches in La Liga. Madrid has even lost two matches in the Champions League. This is why Barcelona is considered the favorite for the La Liga title this season.
Hansi Flick's match strategy is excellent. However, Barcelona unexpectedly dropped points against Osasuna and Real Sociedad. Hansi Flick will have to be more careful when facing weaker opponents.
This season's journey is still very long and I think it's too early for us to conclude that Barcelona can be more consistent than Real Madrid.
I think we have to look at the whole thing and it must be admitted that even though in the first leg of both matches a few weeks ago, the Real Madrid team lost badly to Barcelona, but overall the strength of the two teams is not much different so that for the competition for the title this season, both teams still have the same percentage, regardless of whatever problems are being faced, the rivalry between the two teams is always fierce in every season and that will also happen this season.
That's true but if you look at Barcelona's ability for now then I am more confident in them than Real Madrid. But the problem is that the League journey is still quite long and there are still many matches they have to go through and it could be that in the second half of the season Real Madrid can be more consistent than now. There are several things that make it difficult for Real Madrid to play consistently, especially the injury problems experienced by several players and the front line is still not solid and maybe changes need to be made by the coach.I think we have to look at the whole thing and it must be admitted that even though in the first leg of both matches a few weeks ago, the Real Madrid team lost badly to Barcelona, but overall the strength of the two teams is not much different so that for the competition for the title this season, both teams still have the same percentage, regardless of whatever problems are being faced, the rivalry between the two teams is always fierce in every season and that will also happen this season.
Barcelona is much more consistent and the front players also appear so aggressive in scoring goals, even though they also experience several problems such as injuries to several important players. The rivalry between the two is very strong in the competition in La Liga and whoever is strong will definitely be the champion this season.
In january when the transfer market reopens, Barcelona and Madrid can very quickly have high changes because we all know that both teams will look for the right players to replace injured players.
So as long as we have not entered january, there are still many things that will happen.

This can be an interesting point because Rodri is suitable for Ansi Flick's strategy. He can't move also to real Madrid because he won't to be a traitor as the club that made his name, Atletico.
So, When I look at his well-mannered playing style, Rodri is indeed more inclined to Barcelona style, maybe because Pep was from Barca, so that made it as what he wants. But again, I'm not convinced that Manchester City let their assets just let it go to another club. He is an important player that spearhead the Pep strategy. we'll see now, without Rodri, Manchester City overwhelmed to compete premier league which I thing he will not go away in the near future if Manchester City hasn't found the right replacement yet.
As a captain of Spanish national team, Rodri has opportunity to play with many players from Barcelona and he will not have big issues of playing with these teammates in Barcelona. Spanish national team, Barcelona and Manchester City have similar playing and tactical style, so Rodri will do see Barcelona is a better destination than Real Madrid.So, When I look at his well-mannered playing style, Rodri is indeed more inclined to Barcelona style, maybe because Pep was from Barca, so that made it as what he wants.

He is old and does not want to get too much challenge from a new club with entire different playing style than Manchester City and Spanish nation team. Hansi Flick is combining old and young players very well in Barcelona and he will be very happy to have one more experienced player like Rodri to combine with many young players in Camp Nou.

The point is, this time, the competition in La Liga will be even fiercer with the gap getting narrower. and this will make both Flick and Ancelotti to be more serious in making their clubs to always give their best performance in every match and produce 3 full points without a break.
Both of them will definitely be more serious in addition to strengthening attacks and strategies, also in scouting players who they might target in the January transfer market. Because there are several players in both clubs who are injured and this forces them to target top players who fit their respective criteria.
Both Real Madrid and Barcelona have good attacking systems with many star attacking players, and their main priorities for squad improvement is not in their attacking system, but in defense system. They have to tighten their defense system more, that will help them to avoid lost points in a long season. In Champions League, with knock out matches, it can help them to go far if they have defensive bunkers to block attacks from opponents. In knock out matches, if you don't get conceded goals, you will have very good chance to become a winner eventually.Both of them will definitely be more serious in addition to strengthening attacks and strategies, also in scouting players who they might target in the January transfer market.

His favorite choice on his next destination makes sense because Manchester City and Barcelona have similar tactical philosophy so that Rodri will more easily adapt to Barcelona than to Real Madrid. One more thing that is helpful for Rodri is Barcelona have many young players who can cover weakness of Rodri from his old age when he leaves Manchester City.Source: Rodri would prefer to join Barcelona over Real Madrid
If Barcelona signs with Rodri in next years, they will need his experience and ability to control ball as well as match intensity for them. Other tasks that require more energy, faster speed will be done by young players, not by Rodri.

And just because they lost one zero does not mean anything but maybe the kind of record that flick wanted to keep but he should not worry this season his for Barcelona and they will Do everything possible to win because they have made up there mind for this season so their is going to be a lot of things going on since Madrid and girona.

Every league have taking a new shape and new clubs are taking over and even Madrid did not expect them to be down this way and they started their issue of rivalry is not today so the situation of who is winning is not new but at least this season is not good or Madrid at all I remembered when this season started we were all over Madrid and what we are seen now is different. That is even football you can not always get it right that is one of the disappointing moments.

Even Barcelona, which has bad financial problems, can still thwart Real Madrid in the 2022-2023 season and Xavi has managed to make Barcelona win the title. This season, Real Madrid also has the potential to fail to defend its title when Hansi Flick seems more capable of improving Barcelona's performance. Barcelona is currently ahead on points over Real Madrid, but the optimism of Real Madrid fans cannot be contained because they really hope that Real Madrid will prevent that curse again this season.

Since their chance at the league title isn't jeopardized yet, then they have still got the chance but will only need put in some more work as expected of them, literally the loss against Real Sociedad for me is just one of the few losses they were definitely going to experience this season because normally they weren't looking like a team that was going to have an unbeaten record this season as they have had good performance but yet to show consistency enough to have such faith in them.Real Sociedad's defense was also a problem for Barcelona, which in that match proved difficult to penetrate. Raphinha and many other players failed to penetrate Sociedad's defense throughout the match, while the goal that could have changed the situation was canceled by the referee due to an error. Real Sociedad is very motivated in their home matches and they are able to give their best and win.

Frenkie de Jong has the highest salary at Barcelona and the club's current financial situation is indeed getting worse which makes some players worry about their salaries which might be cut, maybe the reason Frenkie de Jong has not pressed for a contract extension is because he still has to think long about this problem or decide to move to another club that will give a higher salary, he has been with Barcelona for 6 seasons and I think that is long enough, Barcalenoa want to keep him longer but cannot force the player to stay.
If he is getting the highest salary, he may not want to renew his contract with Barcelona. If he wants a higher salary, he can transfer to another European team. I am sure he will want to get De Jong. There are many teams waiting in line to meet his transfer fee and contract. He is a very good player, I really like his style. Moreover, he is still 27 years old and very young. He is capable of performing at a high level. Maybe Barcelona should reconsider their decision.Staying at Barcelona requires him to accept nearly 50% pay cut, and that will not happen, he will reject the offer, and he will look for more in other teams and eventually realize that no other team offers better deal neither. These type of players are the hardest for both the team and also the player themselves, they were paid way more than what they deserve, so telling them to drop to a salary where they deserve it is hard, most of the time player will have a fake understanding of their value and think they are worth more than what they really worth, and that is because they were overpaid before.
After all, with a wide enough points gap and if Barcelona are able to consistently have and maintain points with a wide gap with Real Madrid, then it can make Barcelona have a very good chance of getting the trophy this season. If that happens, then I don't think we have to wait until the end of the season to say Barcelona get the trophy,because if until halfway through the season Barcelona can still be consistent with good results. I am sure, it is also enough to make Barcelona remain the main candidate and the strongest candidate to get the La Liga trophy this season.
I don't think it will be all easy for Barcelona to take this league considering how Real Madrid side is coming up to their form now recently. Barcelona under Hansi Flick has shown high level of performance lately and have continued to take the first position of the league since then. This stride recorded by Barcelona was said to be as a result of the new manager, Flick who has been hardworking in terms of revival of the club especially with his trainings and tactical adjustments.
On the other hand, Real Madrid hasn't been able to keep to feet as they did last season, they were able to work out their ways to the top last season while Barcelona suffered with Girona den. Now Girona hasn't been able to match up at all but rather went to 10th position below the table.

You are correct, the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona is just 6 points with Madrid having a game in hand. If Real Madrid wins, it will automatically reduce the point to just three point which is very realistic for Real Madrid to catch up with them. A lot of people did not believe that Real Madrid would be able to close the gap between them and Barcelona. I do not count Barcelona as favourites for the Champions League but if they really want to achieve success this season they need to maintain consistency and also remain focused as this two factors will be crucial for them if they want to achieve success this season.Barcelona surprisingly managed to prove themselves as the most productive team in the Champions League this season even though they lost 3 points against Monaco. Barcelona has secured 9 points from 4 matches, while there are 12 more points up for grabs which they could possibly win. I'm sure Barcelona will qualify for the last 16, but maybe not for the final if they fail to maintain their consistency in the knockout rounds.
It is too early to guess who will win the La Liga title this season even though we have seen the progress that has occurred at Barcelona, this club still has to face many challenges in the upcoming matches if Barcelona can maintain their good performance until the end of the season then the chance to win the trophy is greater all the results depend on how Barcelona faces the remaining matches this season.
What you said is true because everyone also does not know when Barcelona can lose again in the upcoming matches like what Barcelona experienced at Real Sociedad's home. So the thing to become a champion this season clearly still depends on the performance of each team including the performance of the Barcelona team itself because all teams still have more matches this season and that still needs to be focused on by all teams this season. And for the next match I think Barcelona will still insist on being able to win at Celta Vigo's home next weekend.After the international break, I am confident that everyone will be in peak condition and they will do everything necessary to win their matches, particularly the big clubs in the La Liga, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Athletico Madrid, who are the only teams who normally compete in the competition. The losses that Barcelona did against Real Sociedad was a very surprised because one believe that Real Sociedad will get three points in the game, and giving Madrid and Athletico Madrid opportunities to near them in the league table, Flick need to improve his performance because Real Sociedad as give other clubs a chance to know how to challenge Barcelona, and if Barcelona give any club to score before them, they will just close the house and do defending for 90 mint, because that is what Real Sociedad did since they get the chance and win one goal they didn't make Barcelona even get to short on target. they defend well in the pitch, let see what they will play against Celta Vigo and see who will get three point.
I just wish there would not be any injuries during the international break, because many players come back with injuries. The injuries of some players have affected their teams' performances, especially when the injured player is one of their key players. If there are no injuries among the teams you mentioned, I am also expecting these teams to return in great form, especially Barcelona and Real Madrid, the two favorites to win La Liga.
Real Sociedad won against Barcelona, but I feel it was just luck. Such things happen once in a while, and that does not show that Barcelona's form has decreased. Sometimes, teams that Real Madrid may beat easily become a challenge for Barcelona. We've all witnessed how Barcelona defeated Real Madrid. Osasuna defeated Barcelona, but Real Madrid defeated Osasuna easily. That's football for us, sometimes full of surprising results.
