The difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid in the La Liga has been obvious. Barcelona have been just better than Real Madrid against smaller teams. We can easily understand from their point losses so far. Barcelona got their only draw against Vallecano at the beginning of the season. Even in that match their performance was very good but they were just unlucky. And their only loss was in the El Clasico as you know. Its reason was that Barcelona were having big difficulties in big matches at the same time.
However Real Madrid have lost more points against smaller opponents so far. Especially their point losses on the recent match weeks caused them to lose the lead to Barcelona. With the help of Benzema's return, they can start playing a little more consistent I presume. We should be watching a very competitive title run between these teams until the end.

I agree with you, 2 points is nothing. Besides, if it stays as it is now (2 points gap), it will all be decided in the next El Classico. It's too early to say though, I bet they will get 100% wrong in one match and the gap will increase to a more or less comfortable one, or they will keep us in suspense till the end of the season
their points were too close that even one game would make a huge difference in the next points tally. but looking at barcelona performance in the matches they have played it looks like they have a good enough direction to continue to be consistent in the remaining matches this season. Real madrid seem to have lost balance this season a bit as the absence of benzema is a point to pay attention to in their form in the matches they have been through. even though he didn't have a big impact, benzema became a very influential figure in the real madrid game.to determine who is the strongest candidate to win the laliga trophy this season we have to be patient to see it because the competition between barcelona and real madrid looks like it will continue in every game this season.
I think if Real Madrid let go of players like Luka Modric, Tony Kroos, and Benzema it would have a negative effect on their team. Benzema is one of the best strikers who has supported Real Madrid so far. Luka Modric on the other hand is a great midfielder. If Real Madrid leaves these senior players, the team will face some disaster.
Right now they are depending on these three players. Therefore, Anceloti must immediately find a replacement. But letting them not retire or leave is stupid, Madrid must immediately regenerate players. I hope they are not wrong and are effective in selecting players so that they continue to dominate the League and UCL. Because some clubs sometimes always play badly if they are left by key players in the team. Hopefully that doesn't happen in Madrid.Joan Laporta has indicated that he will bring in new players in the January 2023 market to strengthen Barcelona.
But strangely I heard the news that Carlo Ancelotti is not going to buy new players for his team, is it possible that he is very confident with his team now and forces Benzema, Luca Modric and Tony Kroos to keep playing? Yes, I agree with you that pushing yourself without regenerating new players will be dangerous for Real Madrid in the future, and lagging behind the rest. I hope Carlo Ancelotti makes a wise decision for the future of Real Madrid.
For the La Liga title our strongly believed Barcelona can get it, if we look at the statistics they are quite capable, but indeed after the world cup is over, is a possibility that the performance of Barcelona squad will decrease. One of the reasons is fatigue, but it doesn't take long for squad will adapt. I personally believe Barcelona will get the title, what will happen if they don't get the title of La Liga?
It would be too hasty to say Barcelona will be La Liga champions now. Because they are still not in a comfortable place to win the title. 2 points is a very small distance, I don't even think of it as a gap with Real Madrid who are 2 points below them. They are just better than last season. Barcelona has the opportunity to become champions this season, but it requires a difficult struggle with hard work, of course.

There is still plenty of time from now because they have just completed 14 matches and that means there are another 24 matches waiting after this break, is it not too hasty to conclude that.
In 2 matches I'm not too sure these two clubs will always win but what I believe is that Madrid will continue to stick to it and maybe even be able to overtake and take back Barcelona's place now.

It is really difficult to overlook Villarreal's change in one season. We are talking about a team that reached the semi-finals in the Champions League in the end. But now they are having really troubling days. We are seeing them in the middle of the standings currently. Especially their losses in the recent times caused them to lose a lot of points.
Maybe they are focused on the Europa Conference League this time. They finished the group stage as leader. They might want to achieve this title as well after achieving the Europa League title. But they should be really careful in the La Liga at the same time. There isn't any guarantee for their title in the ECL so they should fight for a European tournament spot in the La Liga.

There are no many strikers who are available in the market. The ones that are available are not as good as the quality that Real Madrid will want but however any kind of striker that Real Madrid wants, they will be able to get him with money and because of the prestige of the club, unless it is PSG that is contesting it with them then you know that PSG can always spend them to it 
Meanwhile, Benzema is still in real madrid, for the mean time before he returns, Rodrygo and Velverder can be helping the club
Most chances they will not do any changes in winter transfer window with just some part-timer striker will be also enough for them but in Summer transfer window they will do better changes and try to bring quality replacements which are need to time for them as well because right now few players are going out of their best, and they need to do things as they are doing for decades few players are already under their radar which mean they will keep in touch with them, and they will try to engage them for having their squad more strong but still it's all needed time with money is never been problem for them and their current coach is also one of the best in this business which can turn tables into his favour without any big trouble.Meanwhile, Benzema is still in real madrid, for the mean time before he returns, Rodrygo and Velverder can be helping the club
I do not expect Real Madrid to make any big changes in this transfer market. I think they are preparing to wait until the next transfer window. And I honestly feel that in the next transfer window we can expect Real Madrid to make some really big moves. They are hoping to bring in a really capable striker. I think we all know that. And they are waiting for the right opportunity and also for the right choice. However, I wonder if the striker that they have available on the market right now might be a better option than what they will be able to get in the next transfer window.
Everything can still happen considering that Barcelona is only two points ahead of Real Madrid. La Liga still has a lot of games to play, Barcelona could drop points in the next few matches which will make Real Madrid take their position. Barcelona needs to continue to maintain a point advantage over Real Madrid to become La Liga champions this season, Xavi must not reduce Barcelona performance even a bit, which can lose the La Liga Trophy this season.
Barcelona's performance is indeed on the rise in La Liga and they managed to top the standings. But I still have doubts about their performance and they haven't been fully tested so far because the season is still very long. Apart from that, the Blaugrana's chances of winning the title at the end of the season are still too early to talk about. I'm sure the two-point lead over Real Madrid won't last long, at least when El Clasico duels later, El Real will be able to steal full points and will take over the top of the standings.

I don't see Villarreal's performance dropping drastically, because even in terms of position they only dropped 2 ranks from the previous season. That means they are still a team that can be said to be stable, even though they have experienced a decline, it is not a significant decline. Actually they are a top 10 team in the standings table, and to be honest I didn't expect much from them.
The season in Laliga is only halfway, the opportunity to go further down or even go up further in the standings is still very much open. So I don't think Villarreal's position at the end of last season is comparable to being a source while at the moment this the new season is running half. The results and who they are face are the main reference for seeing changes in the teamI see Villarreal at the moment have not shown that they can be better than last season.
Considering the teams currently in the top six, it looks like they'll be able to keep it going. Therefore, it seems that Villarreal no longer has a chance to get a European ticket, but at least Villarreal is not experiencing a severe decline like Sevilla.
Because this season Sevilla is clearly very chaotic, because how can a team that has always been in or competed in the top four for the past few seasons but Sevilla has fallen so badly quickly.
Even at this moment Sevilla is still working hard just to get out and away from the relegation zone. As a team that is used to competing in the top four, it is of course easy for Sevilla to get out of the relegation zone. But what happened instead was that Sevilla looked like a mediocre team that didn't have the quality to be able to recover quickly, it was interesting to look forward to.
In my opinion, I don't know if they will be able to improve their position. As of right now, they are not playing very well. In my opinion, it is nearly impossible to imagine that they will be able to improve from here on out. The main thing I would like to point out is that they have not shown enough reliable performance through which we will be able to predict how they will perform in the future. In the same way as any other mid-table team, they have been inconsistent as well. As a result of this type of performance, it is hardly expected to see any improvement in the near future. There are not a lot of expectations I have for them. According to my opinion, the highest position they can achieve at the end of the season would be seventh.
Villarreal's performance this season has drastically declined and the team is currently struggling at the moment. The international break should be an opportunity for every team to assess their performances so far this season and retrace their lapses and restrengthen before the league resumes so hopefully Villarreal will do same and get back to good form.
Since October Villarreal hasn't performing well and from their last 7 matches in La Liga they got 4 loses from it that this is not good for them and the situation are getting worse after Villarreal have to changed coach because Unay Emery has decide to left this team and joined to Aston Villa and this is quite risky for them because i was often to see there was a club who changed manager in the middle of competition but it cannot solved their problem and indeed Villarreal has got new manager Quique Setién and he might be can overcomes Villarreal performance later but i personally a bit doubt he can able to do that because his achievements doesn't so well even last time i heard he got sacked while train Barcelona One of the biggest examples in recent memory is Lille, who won the ligue 1 title over PSG which is one of the biggest achievements you could have as a French team, and then sucked just a year later. That is a common thing and we just need to focus on what we can do to recover and do better later on.

But Barcelona have it own ways and they have the good coach and player's too
I think they can win the trophy at the end of the season
It is really hard to find a meaningful explanation for Atletico Madrid's current condition. They are already 13 points away from the leader while we aren't even exactly in the middle of the season. I would have liked to say that they wanted to focus on the Champions League more. But their results in the Champions League were also horrible. While they were the most powerful team of their group they just finished it in the last place. They got only 5 points in total. This is a complete failure for them so far.
Simeone has been managing them for 11 years. He must be knowing every positive and negative sides of this team. Maybe it isn't related to the players. It might be just due to Simeone's tactics' weakening in time. Maybe they need a new manager as of now.
Barcelona and real Madrid are doing very well in this season and atleteco already lost a lot of points against weak clubs, it's seems it's already impossible for them to play for la Liga title but they still have enough time to play for the first positions and at least get a champions league spot and i think they have tge required abilities to achieve this, we still in the first half of the season Simeone has been managing them for 11 years. He must be knowing every positive and negative sides of this team. Maybe it isn't related to the players. It might be just due to Simeone's tactics' weakening in time.

Villarreal is a team that doesn't have high consistency, so it's natural that its position never settles in the top five or six, but I agree that Villarreal is a team that is in the top ten. Even from the last three seasons, it can be said that Villarreal experienced a slight decline and then only stayed in the top seven. If this season Villarreal can't finish in the top seven again, then I think that's normal and at least Villarreal can still finish in the top ten, that's good for Villarreal.
