After watching the match, I feel that Real Madrid lost this match due to overconfidence. Mallorca was the weaker team. But the Madrid coach may not have properly done his homework on this team. Also, the performance of Real Madrid's strikers in this match was horrible. Madrid dominated the match. Attacked a lot. They made a total of 20 shots, but the interesting thing is that only 1 of them was on target. Madrid failed to score despite having the chance of a penalty. This match proved once again that Madrid's attack is very weak without Benzema.

Los Blancos experience humiliation after losing to Mallorca. When Marcus Asensio missed a penalty in the second half and Vinicius Jr. and his teammates were booked in the match, it was a difficult day for the Real Madrid players, who tried everything in their power to tie the game. Carlo Ancelotti's goal was to catch up to Barcelona in points on the standings, therefore the outcome was shocking. Real Madrid will likely resume winning games in their subsequent encounter.

The weekend was a total taken over from title holders, as we saw how fhe big clubs lost all their matches and i was even hoping that

Real Madrid's case will be different only to see how they lost it on the verge of the match ending.

This is a critical time for them both in the premiere league, and the La Liga series, but let's see how their next games will be if there will

be a change of result for Real Madrid my favourite club.

Madrid has already shown greater signs of competency in most of their last few matches. Liverpool is in its worst form now. They lose in matches that everyone will see as a bonus win for them. They won just one in their last 5 matches and that tells how inept the team is.  Initially, I was having doubts, but as it stands now I know Liverpool is not fit to stand against real Madrid in the champion league clash.

When you say that Real Madrid needed fresh players, especially on the defense and up forward, I completely agree with you. It's obvious that Ancelotti would be disappointed by the lack of reinforcements during the winter transfer market. Seeing a powerhouse like Real Madrid falter is extremely disheartening.

But I still think it's early in the season, so Real has time to turn things around. They still have a shot at a playoff place with the correct adjustments to their approach and upgrades to their players. Meanwhile, Barcelona has been playing really well, but it's always vital to keep in mind that anything can happen in sports. I'm looking forward to seeing how these two teams battle it out and try to gain ground in the standings over the course of the next several games.

It is too early to assume that Real Madrid can't catch up to Barcelona. 8 points is about 3 matches, and we still have 18 matches to go in La Liga. So, it's still possible and has a great chance for Real Madrid to rise from their poor performance.

Regarding the Mallorca vs Real Madrid match, I was quite surprised to see the results of the match, especially after seeing the match statistics, Real Madrid made 20 attempted shots but only 1 shot on goal. Apart from that, they also dominated in terms of possession, it really didn't make sense for them to lose that match.

I would not write off Real in advance, but it's not the 8 points gap, but the kind of game Barcelona shows should be feared. Yesterday you could see the "real" Barcelona, which plays excellent combination soccer, with the involvement of the wings, the sprawling attacks all over the field. Alba proved that it's too early to write him off, a goal and an assists in such a match is a great result. And we can say that Barcelona didn't leave a chance for Sevilla, taking into account Sevilla's 16th place, of course, it's not such a big surprise.

If Barcelona will continue to show the same play, the chances of Real to win La Liga will be less and less and Real can really focus on the Champions League.

When you are competing with a club that Barcelona has one of the largest pools of wat class players, Real Madrid should have made good use of the January transfer window. Yeah, they have several good players but they also need quality reinforcement. Coach Carlo Ancelotti believed that he had enough players that would take the Los Blancos to victory and was satisfied with the signing of the Brazilian wonderkid Endrick. But the summer of 2024 is still far, and Real Madrid currently needs more players, especially in the attack. They are quite fortunate that their next Champions League game will be against a struggling Liverpool.

What do you say? It is not impossible. There's still a lot of league left. Just think that 20 of the 38 matchdays have been played.

What it is is a comfortable distance for Barcelona that allows them to be calm and start to depend on themselves. The game against Sevilla they won easily, in the same way that Madrid should have won against Mallorca.

Real Madrid must try to get back to their best performance. because not only in La Liga but Real Madrid also have a match in the Champions League against Liverpool which is also very important. But fortunately Real Madrid has a fairly easy match in the next match. namely Real Madrid will face Elche who is now at the bottom of the standings.

Real madrid is not even performing so well during the match against mallorca. 74% ball possessions and 1 shot only for madrid. This is the worst performance from madrid. How can a team who dominated the ball was making only a single shot. Madrid's player must be ashamed. Real madrid didn't play so well with the young players. There must be some changes to happen. The problem is madrid didn't have a lot of players on the bench to do various formations.
I wonder what ancellotti thinks about the result from the last match against mallorca. Madrid just let barcelona goes even far ahead.

Barcelona and Real Madrid still have 18 games left to catch up with each other for the La Liga title. During these 18 games anything can happen even though currently Barcelona is 8 points ahead of Real Madrid. It's too early to say that Barcelona will win La Liga this season, surprises can happen unexpectedly, Barcelona could lose points to weak teams like when Arsenal lost to Everton.

Barcelona players need to maintain their appearance to achieve their goals this season, an 8 point advantage over Real Madrid gives Barcelona more space to stay at the top of the standings. The pressure is now on Real Madrid side, they must be able to improve the quality of their game to maintain competition with Barcelona. The series of poor results they have achieved means that they must immediately bring in players to maintain opportunities in La Liga and the UCL.

Barcelona is currently performing at a great time in La Liga.  So far they have overtaken Real Madrid to occupy the top position in the points table. If we look at Barcelona's last match, we can see that Barcelona's performance was really great. In this match we saw an overwhelming Barcelona.  who beat Sevilla 3-0. Barcelona did not score in the first half, but they managed to score three goals in the second half.   Scored three valuable goals for the team,
J. Alba 58'
Gavi 70'
Raphinha 79'.  
Raphinha has been a consistent performer for Barcelona. By winning this match, Barcelona is at the top of the points table with 8 points more than Real Madrid. Barcelona is an unstoppable team. I hope Barcelona will perform better in the upcoming matches.

the coach of real madrid made a big and serious mistake of not having signed more players, if we look at real madrid last season we can see that they are the same team as this season and i will say again what i always say: last season the real madrid won la liga because they were lucky, they benefited a lot that barcelona was in a deplorable state and other teams too, just see that when benzema wasn't playing they lost the game and even then the real madrid coach didn't make contractions so that it changes the whole team

every team needs to be modified with new players, from defense to attack, benzema will not be the eternal scorer, he needs to have more players, the behavior of the management of real madrid is strange, in the past real madrid was a team that had the best of the best, but today real madrid seems to have no interest in continuing this tradition, in attack when there is no benzema everyone already knows they are going to lose

It was a very interesting game to watch, I'm talking about the Barcelona game, they gave me a profit. although I'm not a fan of barcelona, in sports betting I always try not to put feelings that's why I bet on them even though I'm a fan of real madrid

Yes this win was of gigantic importance to Barcelona. If I was a Real Madrid player, I would slowly lose confidence by now. Yes they should keep believing in themselves until the very end, but Barcelona isn't making any mistakes whatsoever. Now it takes three losses for Barcelona while Real Madrid would simultaneously have to win three games in a row. Slowly there is a clear tendency developing that Barcelona is going to make it this year. Frankly speaking, they also deserve it if you see how well they play. With patience and also very strong in the defense.

Actually in this case it's a little complicated now because really looking at the current conditions even though there are still a lot of matches now but I still hope that Barcelona will lose momentum a little now.
Their condition is too far and this will be dangerous for Madrid if they still hope about competition in La Liga.

Barcelona's point difference with Real Madrid is getting bigger. and a difference of 8 points is quite a big difference. Real Madrid's defeat by Mallorca has made Real Madrid even further away from catching Barcelona's position. And yes, Barcelona will now become more comfortable at the top of the standings. and yeah Xavi has succeeded in making Barcelona have good consistency in maintaining their best performance. but in the next match Villarreal will be a pretty tough opponent that Barcelona will have to face. And there are still many games left. so Real Madrid still has a chance to catch up with the points that Barcelona have. But Villareal has recently shown their declining performance. and have suffered several defeats. so I think Barcelona will still be the favourite.

It's not okay to declare FC Barcelona champions of the La Liga title already when they are still a lot of returning matches to face in La Liga. Other factors like fatigue and injury from other competitions like the Europa league and cup Del Rey may also be a good reason for them to underperform at the domestic league level .8 points are less than 3 matches, and FC Barcelona for now is not stable enough for one to depend on.

A perfect day for Barcelona fans for sure, after real Madrid lost from mallorca Barcelona destroyed sevilla with 3 goals all scored in the second half, this extend the gap to 8 points which make real Madrid mission almost impossible to catch Barcelona, in my opinion real Madrid should start focusing on the champoins league because the race for la liga is already settled in my opinion

It is not what Ancelotti and Real Madrid thought. They only well prepared for days when Benzema and other old players will be no longer able to play for them. Vini Jr., Rodrgyo, Valverde, Camavinga, Tchouameni were bought for their plan.

Asensio can not upgrade himself and I believe he already touched his best, Real Madrid must satisfy with what he can contribute or sell him to another club and get money. For other young players, they have potential to grow up more and upgrade themselves.

I agree that in this season, Rodrygo is still a young player and has lot of things to learn. Vini, Rodrygo are not able to replace Benzema at the moment but they are doing well and in future, they will become important players of Real Madrid.

Benzema impacts Real Madrid performance a lot because his contribution is not only by scoring goals but by his moment, attraction to opponent defenders and his ability to make good passes as well as assists.

Having multiple players on hospitals, in medical care process is bad for all clubs, not only for Real Madrid. It is one of risks they have but such situations won't occur too often. In addition, last few seasons, I did not see Real Madrid had many problems with massive injuries on their players. It can be contributed by their medical staffs and because in previous seasons, many players were younger than now.
