Dang it.. 9 months seems alot just like Dejong injury(period), didn't know it will take that long must have been hurt really bad...
There's always people to replacethem but most of them don't have enough play time so they are still likely to fack things up , seems this injury thingy is quite more this season in almost every top leagues and recovering from the injury isn't the issue but recovering their previous form (it kinda take time to do that especially it it takes month to recover.
Barcelona their rival is also having injury players even though some had return but look at Dejong, Gavi...still trying to gain their form even Fati that had recovered long ago is still trying to find his ground...
Realmadrid have no choice at the moment,  they just have to keep pushing and hope for a better luck.

On a serious note I think this season is really difficult for Real Madrid going with what they are passing through in the team right now, first they had some of their players retire from playing football and they have a lot of players they has been injured for some time and coming to the performance of the team which has not been very consistent they are again losing an important player like Éder Militão, I think is a very bad news and seeing how the whole atmosphere was in the team of Real Madrid when the player was down shows a lot of concern because I think his injury is a very serious one.

The Real Madrid players needs to be more careful during training and when they play matches they can't afford to lose more players to injury because it will affect the performance of the team especially now that they have the opportunity to close the gap between them and Barcelona.

I think this season of Real Madrid is very unfortunate, as a result of which the players is getting injured. We have seen that Rodrygo is injured, he will have to stay out of the field for a long time and this can cause a lot of harm for the team. However, Éder Militão also got injured in the last match, which will keep him out of the field for a long time, which is even more unfortunate for Real Madrid. However, if Real Madrid can fill the positions of the injured players, it can bring something good for them. But the two players who are currently injured must be replaced by good players so that they can repel the attacks of the opposing team. However, since Real Madrid was performing very well this season, it seems that they will be very unhappy with the way their players are getting injured.

And the biggest problem now is the lack of Center back options. Alaba happens to be another quality center back, but he is currently injured as well. It is going to be a difficult thing for Ancelotti to manage, except he can trust some other players that plays in other positions to do the job. 9months is a very long time to wait, or maybe Alaba might make a quick return than we expected, or they might get involved in the January transfer window as well.

To be honest, Real Madrid was really unlucky during this season because they lost many players and got injured a lot, but they still had good performances. However, they have good enough players to fill the places of these players in the team. Recently, they lost Éder Militão, their Brazilian dancer, which can have a negative effect on this team because this player had a key role in Real Madrid.
In the game against Osasuna, Éder Militão got injured hard which even made Vini Jr very unhappy because he saw Militão's injury as hard enough.
It seems Militão is going to be out for nine months.

The better chance still remains 1-1 but maybe that could have moved their ass a little atleast because the game would be them leading but I doubt it willl still change anything... it's either they get beaten or they maintain the draw throughout the game because the performance was so poor and I'm sure there was no way Realsociedad won't equalize and continue pressing.
Nevertheless, 3 points isn't a small point,they need to maintain it an dhope for an increase before the hot part (the end of the season) but they really fackup fr

I'm sure no, Barcelona should not have won. After all, to win starting from a score of 0-1 you need to score 2 goals and if the first goal was not counted, then where is the second one so that the score would at least be 1-1? Or do you think that a draw would be so disgusting for Sociedad that they would attack with the whole team, leaving space for Barcelona? I doubt it.
Barcelona's loss of points was super expected - it's impossible to maintain 90%+ of points for a long time (especially if you're the "surprise" of the season, and not a seasoned dominator).

The Barcelona last match against Real Sociedad was surprise game because nobody expected that they can able to defeat Barcelona by one goal, but indeed with their efforts and they make it possible and even right from the first half the Barcelona performance was extremely good; which I also have some hope for them that they find the match very easy to win.

But Barcelona relax that’s why they’ve to won them, if not with how everyone knows the powerful of the Barcelona they didn’t expect that a team like Real Sociedad defeated Barcelona by one chances, imagine Barcelona has was leading them by possessions with high points, but allowed the Real Sociedad secured their 1 goal and dominate the match.

Barcelona has seen a lot last season, even Laporta was convince Xavi will give him what he wants and there was heated arguments through out the season until he finally get Gansi Flick and I can't say for others, I am personally convinced with his performance since the season started, not all coaches get a chance to prove their worthiness in thier first year but they have finally stay at the top of the league, it will cost Real Madrid alot to be able to reach them.

Real Sociedad against Barcelona was a complete disappointment but it's better than Real Madrid that lost 4 games in a row. It was when they played against Osasuna they were able to change their game and Barcelona is still 6 points ahead and before then Flick would have find away to tighten their front. If not for Lewandowski goal was rule out by the referee, I'm sure we wouldn't be saying Barcelona lost but nothing can be done since the referee count it as null.

Seeing from what is happening now, it is undeniable that 7 Madrid players, most of whom this season are core players, must be in the recovery room, which of course will make Madrid's conditions even more difficult.

The 3 most severe ACL players and the rest are only resting not too long even though it will still be very disturbing in their current condition.
At the moment it looks like Ancelotti must try to be more realistic especially for January because after all for now they are in big trouble and if things like this are left of course this will have a bigger impact so it would be outrageous if in the transfer next season he did not add back players in defense just like he always did in the last few seasons especially now the situation is clearly quite alarming for the condition of the players because there will definitely be a lot of gaps now from Madrid that can worsen their performance conditions in the end.

Yeah, obviously at the beginning of the match everyone excepted that indeed Barcelona will be victorious but unfortunately they get defeated by the opposition. Next time Hansi Flick will care about it I mean for the rotation of players. I think the reason behind the loss is just tired because from the recent 5 to 8 matches, Barcelona players are just struggling and using all of their stamina. I mean, all the players were tired and they didn't do their best against Real Sociedad. Anyhow it's is a narrow loss from Barcelona with only one goal, but I don't think it's will impact the team's performance. Hansi Flick is one of the best coaches in the world for sure he will bring up some new tactics where team could also play better in the squad rotation spot. 
 
Anyway Barcelona are still on the top of the league standings and Real Madrid are 6 points behind from them. It stinks to see the loss of points with such a narrow loss. But I hope Barcelona will be back soon with their beast form.

All the injuries woes Real Madrid are currently facing is from the fact that they have fewer players for resting players and matches are just much now, they seriously need more reinforcement and I hope Ancelloti is ready now for additional players to the squad this January transfer window. Though I got the reason for sticking with fewer players but now football is different from before, they're more matches to play and these players are humans and not machines, even machines do also break down when overly stressed.

In the aspect of Amorim wanting Rodrigo, I doubt he will move there expect he really pushes to go because I don't see  Ancelotti speaking of not needing any of his key players and I doubt Perez will want him to cash out from him at the moment, he is still an instrumental player for their team success. I hope they haven't forgotten his past impact on the team especially being often a super sub.

Barcelona suffered more damage than losing 3 points in its race with Real Madrid in such a situation. Real Madrid will use this opportunity well. It is the best opportunity to reduce the point difference with Barcelona. Nobody expected this defeat of Barcelona. I can say that it is one of the surprise scores of La Liga. Spain continues to surprise this year as it always does. Just as we were thinking that Barcelona was going to lose control, they lost three points with a huge surprise.

Hansi Flick would know what to do, he is a great coach and so far turned Barcelona team into a beast. Just because they are missing a few players for only a few games, they won't start losing them all. Plus, they are not going to face any big teams neither, so they should be fine. What we need to remember about Barcelona is that they are not really short of any good players from the young side, they had so many under 21 year old players and they had so many players that they raised themselves from la masia.

So if you think they have none left, you need to think again, if you remove all 11 of these players, hell remove all the players that played even a single minute of game on la liga this season, they could still just bring on some 15-19 year old range kids from la masia and be in the top 10. That's how good they are, their 15-19 year age la masia players, are as good as top 10 in this league. So this won't be a problem, I am sure of it.

Barcelona dominated the game, but they didn't have the opportunity to win, since Lewandowski's goal entered the offside zone, and they didn't have any chance to pressure the goalkeeper in the match. Real Sociedad defended the game really well and earned three points. Now, since Barcelona is leading Madrid with 6 points because they have not yet played Valencia, but I am sure Real Madrid will definitely defeat Valencia if they play the outstanding game, so Barcelona will only be leading Madrid with 3 points and it will be difficult for Barcelona to win the league anymore, because Real Madrid will do anything possible to continue winning their matches so that when they face Barcelona again, they will try and defeat them.  And am still seeing flick still have some matches to play and he will be hard to get three point. Athletico Madrid are in good shap now, and he will be difficult for Barcelona to win them even Real Madrid play with them is a draw game let see how Flick will do this season. if he will get the opportunity of achieve the title this season, I think Barcelona next game will be a easy win for Barcelona because I don't think celta Vigo are in a good shap this season.

Even though Barcelona lost to Real Sociedad but they have really shown great performance since the season began which many didn't even know they will be this consistent. At least they are still topping the league with 6 points and even if Real Madrid win their outstanding game, Barcelona will still be topping with 3 points but they need to be more consistent now that the gap is closing a bit between them and Real Madrid. Because it will be disappointing if Barcelona allows Madrid to get to the top of the league, it will mean that all their efforts since the season started was just a waste. However, i trust Barcelona to win their next fixtures since they haven't lost two games consecutively.

Occasionally if you experience defeat it is normal, especially since you could say Barca did not field all of its core players. Lamine Yamal's absence affected the match against Sociedad, after all they only lost by a narrow score. I'm sure Flick knows what he has to do in the match later when his team starts the match again, especially considering Fermin Lopez's performance placed on the wing is not so ideal. If Yamal still has to be absent, there will be a rotation carried out by Flick so that his team can play optimally again. For now Barca is still at the top of La Liga with a 6-point lead over Madrid, but El Real has one postponed match to reduce the points difference. Flick also said that he did not mind the defeat to Sociedad and his current focus is on restoring the performance of his team. I suspect Flick will rotate some of his players, especially those who fill Lamine Yamal's position if he is still absent. The next opponent is Celta in La Liga, Brest in the Champions League qualifiers. At least, theoretically Flick can return his team to winning ways again. Likewise with Madrid, their opponents in La Liga are not a strong team in terms of team depth. Even though some players are injured, Madrid is still the favorite team. In the UCL, it seems that Don Carlo will use his energy so that his team can get points even in away games. Well, I suspect there will be no change in points, whether it's Barca or Real Madrid in La Liga. Maybe the next matches will be more interesting, especially if Barca slips again. Maybe with that, El Real can close in on Barcelona's position with a narrower points difference.

Rodrygo absence is a pressure and of course it makes the performance decrease a little because Rodrygo is one of the good partner players for Vinicius. Because these two players are always successful in carrying out tactics and always manage to score in every difficulty.
And regarding who will replace Rodrygo, I think Arda or Endrick will not be suitable to replace Rodrygo position. But there are other options such as Bellingham forcing to replace Rodrygo position or even more suitable if Mbappe replaces Rodrygo position and Mbappe position is replaced by Bellingham and Bellingham position is filled by Arda.
I prefer Arda because he adapts more easily to the main players and his contribution is quite good compared to Endrick who has good skills but he is ambitious to score himself without giving the opportunity to other players who have a greater chance of scoring.

If Real Madrid only get one key player injured in each line or for example, if in each line Real Madrid's key players are injured for the goalkeeper, defender, midfielder and striker positions, then I think it's not a problem. Because basically Real Madrid has many good quality players also on the bench or second-string players who have good potential if they  are given more playing minutes. Thus, Real Madrid's previous poor performance was not because of key players being injured,  but because they did not have good chemistry and or, maybe Ancelotti did not have the right tactics and strategies for his squad this season. Thus, I think Real Madrid just needs more time to really make their  squad more solid to have good and consistent performance.

Several key players who left this season were one of the factors in the decline experienced by Real Madrid. Let's call Tony Kroos, his role in Real Madrid's midfield is very important and his departure made Real Madrid's midfield unable to work optimally. Several players who came also did not adapt very quickly, coupled with several players who were injured, Real Madrid lost a lot. This kind of decline is a common thing in football, and maybe why we are a little surprised because we see Real Madrid's luxurious squad, it makes us a little disbelieving that they experienced bad things in some of the matches they played.
