Well, I think they should also put a lot of emphasis on defense, it's not bad, they have a great midfield, recovering ball, forwards, but I think it was a mistake to have let Casemiro go from Real Madrid, he's doing very well at Man United, he was a great reference in defense, and the most important thing is that he leads United's defense in a great way, so getting a defender of that style is difficult, I don't know if there is one like it now, but I would like them to be and keep an eye on the Italian teams, since they are the best in defense, also Ancelotti is Italian, he should know which player is the most convenient for his line of defense.

Honestly, Benzema is a model to follow, not only because of his history of injuries that have been very serious, in fact they limited him from playing in the World Cup, although it is a fact that he does not like Deschamps, because he was going to play but Deschamps ruled him out and did not He treated him very well, but sometimes things are fair because in the same way I am sure that if Benzama had been in the World Cup final everything would have been complicated for Argentina, perhaps the winner would have been France because of one more goal from Benzema, but that He teaches a technical director and his players that young players are nice, but experienced and high-level ones like him are necessary.

However, they already say this:

Benzema and Militao expected to miss Real Madrid’s match against Mallorca

Real Madrid's team is always the best. Their performance is always the best. They managed to perform well against Villareal. Real Madrid has a great chance to win the title in La Liga.

Athletic Bilbao will win this match, but odds of 1.21 are not enough for betting. Guruzeta did well in the forward, scoring 5 goals in the league. Nicholas and Inaki Williams also contribute goals. Athletic Bilbao is not bad with Valverde, of course they could be better. They must win against weak opponents like Cadiz. Thus, they have the possibility to rise to the top places and participate in the European Cups.

No doubt, Benzema has done his best for Real Madrid, he should also be a much deserved role model for his young team mates. Indeed, the age that is not young has become a problem in his current career with an increasingly high injury rate, it is very unfortunate players which a lot contributed have always had injuries that limited their role so far. I read some news that Benzema injury is not too serious, but also he will possibility absent the next match for recovery.

Next week, Carlo Ancelotti's team will visit Mallorca headquarters. They came with the hope of being able to steal 3 points from their opponent's cage. Because they now have a very heavy burden, besides they have to maintain their point difference from Barcelona, Real Madrid also have to catch up and hope that somehow Barcelona can lose points in their game. Oh yes they still have hope, because Real Madrid and Barcelona will still meet this season.

Disrupting keeper from focusing the ball is not allowed in the football. It's real madrid's fault. The referee has been taking the right decision by disallowing such goal. Im not even feeling problem with it caused by the football game shall be fair for any team who already competed in it. I meant rudiger was not also feeling disappointed with it. Real madrid can still win the game easily against valencia. that's good for real madrid to keep the performance like that.
Two goals in a few minutes are still amazing for sure.

Madrid game was quite impressive because it managed to make Valencia players mentally down. Luckily at that time Vini Jr. was able to avoid the tackles of his compatriot players. If Vini Jr couldn't dodge, he might be seriously injured. Controversy that is still hotly discussed today because Gabriel Palueta's intention is clearly to bring down Vini Jr.


Interestingly, the standings + points position between Barcelona and Real Madrid are the same as Arsenal and Man City + points each have. Including in terms of performance where Barcelona has a young, talented squad.

I think every week now will be a game in favor of Barcelona including next week's game against Sevilla. Sevilla as we know this season played far from what was expected, they worked so badly that they had to be at the bottom of the standings for some time. Now Sevilla is much better, but I don't think it will be enough to stop Barcelona who are in top condition. It will be very difficult for Sevilla to at least get 1 point in next week's game.

Madrid played with all amount of seriousness even from the first half. They needed to win after the draw against Sociedad and I'm happy they achieved it. Marco Asensio's brilliant goal was the main eye-opener after Madrid was so lucked with Valencia's defense that later seemed formidable in The second half. If only Valencia will be able to maintain a good counterattack pattern with the creative central 9, I quest they would have succeeded against strong opponents like Madrid and Villareal.

Real Madrid did not score in the first 45 minutes, but M. Asensio (52') took the lead early in the second half. After that just 2 minutes later V. Junior (54') scored another goal to confirm the victory of Real.
However, after that, both teams tried to score more goals, but in the end, neither team could see a goal. Despite winning this match, Real Madrid's points table has not changed. So far they are second in the points table with 45 points after playing 19 matches equal to Barcelona. Hopefully Real Madrid will perform better in the next matches.

You are right that the problem is in the last few games. Remember that before the World Cup in Qatar we all were convinced that Real Madrid was very consistent and Barcelona should improve the performance if they wanted to compete with Madrid. Xavi's ability as a coach was questioned by many, and now nobody doubts about it.

These are streaks as a result of slight variations in performance and, moreover, we could say that they are a result of chance too. Anyway, 5 points is not a great difference either.

Today Madrid's game was quite good even though the first half they didn't get any results but their game in the second half was able to produce 2 great goals.
Obviously Barcelona will pick up the three points again, Valencia and Sevilla are not far away in their standings side by side at the moment. I'm not sure about the game performance that Sevilla will show against Barcelona and win it taking three points from the leaders. I think it's quite difficult at the moment, at least Sevilla plays to a draw until the end of the drink to get 1 point, but it's still a draw in my opinion quite difficult too for Seville.

Well Valencia played their first game after the dismissal of Gatuzzo, the last 3 games they lost so the team is clearly not in the best shape and in general the chances of Valencia were so little. Thanks to VAR for scoring in the first half and Asensio, who could have opened the account in the beginning, but Mamardashvili helped and saved the team. And you would have died the intrigue at once. Asensio eventually rehabilitated himself by scoring a very nice goal, by the way he does not score others. It is a pity that this year he is not always in the basis of Real, he is interesting, reliable and creative player, but he does not have enough stability, but so far Real has no such player on the right wing.

It was a very important win for Real Madrid to not give more chances for Barcelona to wide the difference in points which is 5 points. Valencia team wasn’t that strong in defense nor attack the match wasn’t hard for Karim Benzema and his comrades they even scored a goal in first half which was canceled after reviewing the VAR because of Karim’s fault.
The second half we saw two beautiful goals from Marco Asensio and Vinícius Jr both goals were from an individual work. About red card that one of Valencia’s player got it was very childish if you see when that defender could stop Vini.
I don’t think Real Madrid will fill the points gaps before the next Classico against Barcelona

It will not be easy to predict who will drop points in their next meeting in the match titled El Clasico. Yes, as you said, it could be Real Madrid who lose points and it could also be Barcelona who will lose these points. All possibilities can happen in their match later. Real Madrid must always get 3 points if they want to close the distance from their rival, while hoping that Barcelona can slip and make mistakes.

Real Madrid need a refresher with their current squad depth, which was evident by how difficult they found the net against Valencia. The tension of the match increased slightly after Valencia managed to draw against Real Madrid in the first round, but in the second half Real Madrid managed to control the match by scoring 2 goals.

It was a win like this that Real Madrid was hoping for as they looked very motivated to stay close to Barcelona who were still 5 points ahead this week. Meanwhile Real Madrid will visit Mallorca this weekend, and Barcelona will host Sevilla at Camp Nou. I think these two teams can win their respective matches, so the standings for both of them should still be the same.

Of course, but you can't just hope Real Madrid win it while Barcelona can win it too.
There is one more El Clasico in La Liga, while Real Madrid and Barcelona will also play 2 El Clasico matches in the semifinals of the Copa Del Rey. If you think Barcelona can drop points, then Real Madrid can too. These two teams are in competition, but for the time being Barcelona are the favorites if they don't change quickly.

I checked the standings and was forced to ask: was 14th placed Valencia hoping they could cop three points from 2nd placed and desperate Real Madrid? It would have looked likely because in the first half, good chances were created by them and we witnessed some form of frustration from Ancelotti's men as they managed to bag two yellow cards, benzema not excluded.
 But as they say, good things come to those in this case who are persistent. Assisting two goals is a far more better reward than yellow for Benzema.
Real Madrid would have to pray that Sevilla holds Barca to either a draw or possibly win the match to enable them bridge the five point gap a little since their game against Mallorca will be an easy win.

Nothing surprising, as I said in my previous post. Valencia is a team that will end up in the second division. It had a lot of problems already and Lim has finished it off, more concerned with doing business with the transfers via Mendez than giving the club viability. With the transfers alone he has already made a return on his investment, and when Valencia go down to the second division he will sell it at a bargain price and that's it.

That Madrid won was normal, Valencia can be thankful that it was only by two goals.

After having poor first half performance, in second half Real Madrid done two quick goals and now have full three important points for the having 5 points gape from top rank team Barcelona which is good for them even now they need more than this effort for having any chance to win this season, but things are looking not good for them because they are having injuries issue which is not good for them.

I agreed with you about this match Athletic Bilbao vs Cadiz is surely going to be interesting match because right now Athletic Bilbao is one of the worst teams in league table with having only 2 points from last five games and their performance is also on decline with Cadiz is doing good and have two wins in their last two visits at Estadio San Mamés (Bilbao) but as bookies giving odds for me this could be trapped as well because this is not going to be easy match for the home side.
