No football team stays 100% perfect during the course of a season. There will definitely be a time when they will experience some mixup of results and that's normal especially when some of your trusted players are out injured. There will be a time when the team will be flying and getting good results and the time they will always be recording loses and draws. That's exactly what's happening to Barcelona, not that Flick has suddenly gone wrong, no that's not the case. That's why it's not always good to write off a team with their slow start to the season. Real Madrid started poorly, but now they are winning. Barcelona started very well, but now the results are not as the early stages. The only thing is that the fans has to trust the process and let the coach do his work. For me I believe that Flick is doing a good work at Barcelona, despite the few draws.

I agree with you. It is very difficult to continue a good performance throughout the season. There is no doubt that Barcelona team has been in very good form since the beginning of the season. In every match we have seen good performance from Barcelona players. Barcelona has also won against big teams like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich by big margins.

However, in the last two matches we have not seen good performance from Barcelona. The defeat against Real Sociedad was a completely unexpected result. Barcelona also failed to win against Celta Vigo in the last match. Barcelona is a bit off form now. However, the top spot of the table is still occupied by Barcelona.

Barcelona's target this season is to do well in the Champions League as well. That is why it has become difficult for Barcelona to continue good performance in the Champions League and La Liga. I think Hansi Flick should now focus only on La Liga.

Not so sure anyone who has been watching football will be willing to swear for the outcome of any game especially not in contemporary football where uncertainties is . The result now gives Real Madrid who won their game 0:3 against Leganes an opportunity to brace up the points gap with Barcelona as they're current with 30 points on the table, just a 4 points difference behind Barcelona with an outstanding match which keeps them in a vantage position in any case that Barcelona drops point in their next game(s). In other words, the title race is still open for now with none of the clubs gaining a better ground yet which makes it more interesting as the season unfolds further.

Prediction is always not certain, but there are matches you will have hope on, especially if you have been backing these teams up in almost all their matches and you also watch how they all play.

I never expected Barcelona to drop points anytime soon because of the back-to-back pressure from Real Madrid, especially as Barcelona lost their last match against Real Sociedad. This match against Celta Vigo should be the match Barcelona should use to keep their title hope, but they played another draw away from home, making it two coceutive away game without a win.

Madrid now have hope of moving very close to Barcelona because they have one outstanding match against Valencia, which is a game for them to win, and it simply means that it is just one point difference between them. To make La Liga so tough as we expect, Flick need to make his team great again so that they can compeate because once Madid overtakes them, I don't expect they to take back their position.

In football there's no depth of hope we may have on a team to win a match and it happens that our hope influences the outcome of the game. The outcome are always independent of whatever our hope may be, and that's why we'll always see most assumed strong teams losing matches in a row at some point. Manchester city in the EPL is a good example having lost 5 matches in a row both home and away games in all competitions this season.

As for Barcelona they ain't doing bad in the La liga, it's normal surprises is bound to do happen in the middle of some streaks of wins. It's just 14 games played, so having 4 points ahead of a team like Real Madrid isn't anything to be comfortable about with many more games yet to play. So just like I had earlier said, the league competition is still open for the two sides right now, we can't be sure who's to lift the trophy at this stage. Barcelona dropping points in their immediate two games played should rather spur them back to winning ways retaining their position on the table, because it's no guarantee that Real Madrid will steal all three points in their outstanding game with Valencia.

Winning this game for Madrid is a very good one , most definitely it will begin to bring back to them that sense of winning again such that their psychology will be in check and again they will have the morale to contend in the champions League well enough than they had in the previous week, for me this is beginning to show that they are still very eligible in the title race and has still got that whole chance to win.

Ahead of the Champions league fixture against Liverpool who are currently in a great form, I must say that win yesterday mandatory to boost their morales against the reds. I'm only worried because they lack a proper number nine player to tussle with Van Dijk and Konate, if they can contain Liverpool well and hit them with counter attacks, then we can now finally see Real Madrid winning a champions league fixture the right way.

The different results achieved by Barcelona and Real Madrid in week 14 made the gap between the two closer, Real Madrid managed to take advantage of Barcelona mistakes in the last two matches by achieving consecutive wins. Real Madrid has a great opportunity to make the gap between the two to 1 point because they still have one match left. The experiment carried out by Ancelotti in this game paid off, Mbappe who played on the left wing immediately scored a goal after never registering his name on the scoreboard in four consecutive matches. This goal is very interesting in my opinion, Mbappe scored immediately after he took the position that was previously always filled by Vinicius.

I have said before that the journey of this season is still very long and what is happening now is a common thing in football, Barcelona who started this season very well actually slipped in their last two matches and that was able to be utilized very well by Real Madrid to reduce the points gap.

Real Madrid's victory against the promoted team was something that was predicted from the start but I highlighted a little the performance of the Real Madrid team which is now slowly getting much better and I think Ancelotti has been quite successful in making a difference and the competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid will continue and even it will be fierce until the end of the season.

Yes, if Real Madrid in the final match against Valencia can win, then the gap will only be 1 with Barcelona and this is very competitive. Unfortunately, the postponed match between Valencia vs Real Madrid is not yet known when it will take place. For Real Madrid's squad, yes indeed, it cannot be denied that their main squads, key players, especially the defenders are still fatally injured, even for a long time.

However, this time, Ancelotti implemented a fairly fresh position, and it really worked with a 3-0 victory against Leganes, although in terms of strength, there is a big difference between Real Madrid and Leganes. However, we can see Ancelotti's lineup with a squad like this, it really works.

This win was obligatory and since Barcelona wasn't able to win their game, there was some extra motivation of course to close the gap and have that one game in reserve to be as close to Barcelona as possible.

I am not very convinced about some of the decisions that Flick is taking. Something is going much worse for them after they had this insanely good start into the season. Consider how many goals they have been scoring and yet they aren't far ahead, only one point if Real Madrid wins the game. I think that shouldn't be the case and it is an indicator that they give away games in the worst moments. It is worthless if they win one game 7-0 and then get a draw in the next game. That's enough balance in my opinion.

No football team stays 100% perfect during the course of a season. There will definitely be a time when they will experience some mixup of results and that's normal especially when some of your trusted players are out injured.

Only 4 points left to shift Barcelona's position, Real Madrid also have 1 match left, which means if Real can win (postponed match), then 1 point remains with the same number.

I think Madrid has started to rise, we can see how they won the last 2 matches with hugely different scores. Ancelotti was found what the problem before and has fixed it immediately when they beat Osasuna 2 weeks ago. Mbappe has also discovered his confidence; he provided the opening goal to encourage other players to struggle with the next goal. While Barcelona seems to be in reverse position with Madrid. they seem lost their confidence to keep hold the winning. This opportunity must be utilized as well as possible if still want the trophy doesn't move to Barcelona.

Real Madrid have probably got their truck back. Ancelotti has been able to stabilize this squad. Real Madrid have been able to perform well in the last two matches and have been able to win by big margins. More importantly, Bellingham has returned to form. Bellingham has been able to score in both the last two matches.

Real Madrid are not far behind in La Liga. If Barcelona drops points in any of the upcoming matches, Real Madrid may be able to grab the top spot in the table. Barcelona have not played well in the last two matches. Barcelona lost against Real Sociedad and shared points with Celta Vigo.

Real Madrid will play against Liverpool in their next match. Real Madrid is a team that is far behind in the Champions League. Winning this match is very important for Madrid. I am waiting to see what strategy Ancelotti comes up with in this match.

Madrid managed to secure a convincing victory over Leganes in yesterday match, three goals throught Mbappe, Valverde and Bellingham have cut their gap from Barcelona to 4 points now, after in the other game Barcelona drew 2-2 against Celta Vigo, the victory certainly puts Madrid back on track to victory, but I don't think the victory in that match can be our reference to say Madrid has stabilized at the moment, considering that the opponent they are facing is a weak team, facing Liverpool will certainly be a real test for Ancelotti after their failure to win points in the previous two matches in Champions League , besides that I think Ancelotti must prove that they has improved and stabilized by beating Liverpool in the match, but if they lose again to Liverpool of course Ancelotti should start thinking hard to restore Madrid performance with the right solution.

The match ended with a narrow defeat for Real Sociedad, with only one goal scored in the match. Although statistics show that Real Sociedad dominated the match, they failed to convert those opportunities into real opportunities, with only one shot on target towards Bilbao's goal. and the solid defense shown by Bilbao in this match, this was the main factor in Bilbao being able to win against Real Sociedad.

I really don't understand what's wrong with sociedad. Against the league leaders, they played with high intense as it it was a world cup final but yesterday they played with no interest and seems comfortable to draw the match. If they always play like when they play against Barcelona or Real madrid, they would have been in a reasonable place on the table.

Bilbao was not in any way better and in fact, they didn't do anything worthy of winning except scoring a goal but of course, this is football and it's the goal scored that matters. In my observation, Real sociedad spent more than eighty minutes of play time without leaving their own half with back passes and touches. When there are less than ten minutes left to play is when they get in a hurry. You don't get comfortable winning against big clubs alone.

As for Athletic, I noticed their improvement after the bad start for the season. The victory and the three points was very important because it'll give them morale to fight hard in the coming matches.

Yes, this great victory of Real Madrid has given them more confidence to occupy the top position. Currently, Real Madrid is in second position with a gap of only 4 points, however, Real Madrid will not lose their points in the next match. Although the second half of the season has not come yet, so there is still a lot to be seen, in the next phase, each team will definitely try to improve their game more. However, looking at Real Madrid's current performance, I think they will definitely succeed in occupying Barcelona's position because Real Madrid is very excited at the moment.

With this week match results from both Barcelona and Real Madrid, we have a more tighter title race between them because Real Madrid reduced point difference to only 4 points, and they have one match to play. Assume Real Madrid can get three points from that match, they will reduce the point difference with Barcelona to only one point and this means the title race is very closely between two main competitors.

In goal differences, Barcelona have very impressive stats but they began to show some weakness in midfield and defensive areas that failed to help them secure 3 points even their attacking players scored many goals. In a long season, this weakness can be main point of failure for Barcelona and they have to be very careful. Real Madrid is not a competitor that easily give up if a match or a season has yet ended.

Really somehow cut Barcelona's lead down quickly after the last few matches. Defense was also the weak link of Barcelona last season, because Barcelona and Real Madrid had about the same goals scored, but Barcelona conceded twice as many goals as Real Madrid and this season the situation is also repeated, which can not please Barcelona fans, because it seemed at the beginning of the season, that Flick was able to reverse this trend and in the first matches Barcelona conceded very few goals, but then again there were defeats with conceded goals, as well as stupid mistakes in defense, as in the case of Kunde in the last match with Celta, where he almost gave the ball to the opponent to score a goal for Barcelona.

However, we can see Ancelotti's lineup with a squad like this, it really works.

That's a n incorrect lineup, the correct one is here.

Ancelotti switch Vini and Mbappe position, Guler playing in right wing position. Everything working fine because the opponent is weak, Leganes not even able to shot on target. If Real Madrid can win against Liverpool with this lineup, then Ancelotti has successfully fix the problem.

Mbappe, Vini and Arda formations are actually working, but it needs a serious game to prove how good such line up is. I agree. The game against Liverpool is the best test. If it works, they can use that formation until the end of the season.

There is another problem with their transition from attack to defense. It is always slow. They must do it faster against Liverpool. That is because if they still did transition slowly, and Liverpool can punish them easily.

It is very unique how we see the rise and fall in the performance of Barcelona and Real Madrid which are always inversely proportional. That is, when Real Madrid improves, we will see Barcelona worsen slightly. And conversely, when Real Madrid gets worse, we will see Barcelona's performance improve. I hope that in the next matches both teams will be at their best and still get full points. Because I want a hotter match in the next El Clasico at the end of the season.

I also started to feel that Real Madrid had indeed risen again. And yes, Real Madrid even has the opportunity to narrow the point difference again through the 1 postponed match they have, namely against Valencia. And I am optimistic that Real Madrid will get full points through this postponed match. But the problem is whether Real Madrid will maintain their current performance or not in the next match. But for now I see that Real Madrid is really ready to face Liverpool in a few days in the UCL.

It is not difficult for Real Madrid to catch up on the points difference from Barcelona because the gap between them is currently very thin if Barcelona loses or draws again then Real Madrid can take over the top position in the standings but yes with the note that Real Madrid must consistently win to face the next matches. The real challenge for Real Madrid is when they meet Liverpool in the UCL match and that will take place in 3 days if they have returned to their best version they must beat Liverpool because this victory is very important to catch up.

Hope you know that Barcelona really prepared for this season, because the strategies they used to defeated many strong teams in this la Liga league competition show that Real Madrid will not take that position back from Barcelona soon, because Barcelona still have the opportunity to win their next match to achieve another three points. I like what Real Madrid played yesterday to defeated their opponents 0-3 to achieved three points from the match which is what Real Madrid fans want to be seeing in Real Madrid matches, but can they maintain a steady winning in their remaining matches. I don't think it will be possible for Real Madrid to develop such improvement in their remaining matches, because there are many strong teams in this la Liga league competition that will not allow them to display such performance.

In the end Barcelona also experienced less than satisfactory results after getting a draw in that match and now Real Madrid has the opportunity to catch up on the points gap with Barcelona.
The decisions taken by Flick did not work out well in the last game though because their players received red cards, creating a void that the opponents exploited to make a comeback. A 7-0 or 1-0 win still counts for the same three points unless in a competition they have the same number of points so it will be decided by goals conceded/gained, this is what Flick needs to think about and they need to get a positive result in the next game to get the win.

The match, which has entered the 80th minute, and the game speaks of the domination displayed by Bilbao in controlling the game. Real Sociedad seem to be finding it difficult to create dangerous opportunities because they have managed only one shot on target out of their five attempts. This just goes to prove just how solid this backline of Bilbao is and how tough their goalkeeper must be to have preserved such an advantage for so long.

After the narrow victory against Barcelona, Real Sociedad seem to have lost their creativity up front. They play a much more defensive game and do not create as many chances, which then means the chances of their scoring become even less. The Bilbao side, on the other hand, made good use of their advantage with that goal and began to play more calmly by keeping possession of the ball and also maintaining the quickness of counterattacks.

If Real Sociedad does not step up the attack and the inventiveness of the game, within the time frame remaining, it looks likely the outcome of this match will be them suffering a narrow defeat.

The match ended with a narrow defeat for Real Sociedad, with only one goal scored in the match. Although statistics show that Real Sociedad dominated the match, they failed to convert those opportunities into real opportunities, with only one shot on target towards Bilbao's goal. and the solid defense shown by Bilbao in this match, this was the main factor in Bilbao being able to win against Real Sociedad.

This win mattered greatly to Bilbao especially after previously drawing 3 matches which derailed their progress. Apart from the confidence instilled, the three points also helped them better placed on the league log. On the other end, Sociedad needs to do some soul-searching and that should be immediate, especially on their attacking line, which seems to be wanting in creativity.

This result confirms that no matter how dominant a game is, it is effectiveness and consistency in attack that helps a team score goals and get points, something Sociedad did not show in this match.

With how Real got the win today, we can see that the gap is only four points and Real is missing one game, everyone knows this much ,this is the mathematics of it. But also I would like to point out that Real Madrid is missing a lot more players and that means, if Real was fully healthy all season long, this season wouldn't even be a question, we would have seen Real win it by a large margin. The sad part for Barcelona is that they started great but they ended up not that great at all eventually, including this week. I can see how Real could take the lead eventually, the gap is theoretically one point right now, and that could be beaten in a single week, so its clear that real is doing great and we could see them get it, or Barcelona has to fix whatever is wrong, and do better.

Yes, this great victory of Real Madrid has given them more confidence to occupy the top position. Currently, Real Madrid is in second position with a gap of only 4 points, however, Real Madrid will not lose their points in the next match. Although the second half of the season has not come yet, so there is still a lot to be seen, in the next phase, each team will definitely try to improve their game more. However, looking at Real Madrid's current performance, I think they will definitely succeed in occupying Barcelona's position because Real Madrid is very excited at the moment. Moreover, although Barcelona started very well, the performance I can see at the moment does not seem to be that Barcelona will be able to maintain their top position. However, Real Madrid will try hard to change their position, and since Barcelona will face a normal team in the next match, there will be a possibility of winning that match. Overall, if Real Madrid's players remain healthy and continue to play brilliantly, it is possible to reach the top position. And if Barcelona's play continues to deteriorate, they will have to move away from the top spot.
