Barcelona began to score in the second half, and the first half was equal even with the advantage of Real Madrid, they were more aimed at the attack. The attack of Barcelona is now very good, and the victory over Real was not the only one, in the match with Bavaria they did the same, these were two big victories in one week. It is true, so far this does not mean that they won La Liga, but this indicates that the team is in excellent shape now, and Flik managed to raise the team spirit very well, which is very important for further victories.

The Ballon d'Or should indeed be given to a player who not only shows outstanding individual performance, but also contributes significantly to the success of his team, both at the club and international level, Rodri, with his achievements leading Spain to win the euro, clearly has an advantage in terms of team achievements in international competitions, while Vinicius has so far only been able to perform quite well with Madrid,  But he can't bring Brazil to win a trophy, I personally will choice Rodri who deserves to win that the trophy than Vinicius, but I doubt is precisely if we compare who is worthy ballon d'or betwen Rodri or Lautaro Martinez who also performed very impressively with InterMilan and Argentina?

Multi bet has a greater risk but it will be worth it with all the possibilities.

If you look at it as a whole, Mallorca is indeed better in quality than Alaves, but Alaves will play at home so they have much higher motivation so that it is possible for Alaves to rise in this match.
And for betting options with odds @3, of course choosing Mallorca to win is the right step, it will bring very tempting profits.

As far as I know the winner of the Ballon d'Or depends on several factors. such as -

• Individual performances
• Decisive and impressive character
• Team success, performances and achievements 
• Player behaviour
• Class and fair play

The winner of the Ballon d'Or is determined based on these factors. The Ballon d'Or is not awarded based on performance alone. A panel of 100 journalists from different countries all had their say on who should be the Ballon d'Or winners. The winner of the Ballon d'Or is not decided by UEFA alone. It was selected by voting by 100 experienced journalists. So I think Real Madrid should not only blame UEFA.

This is what I want us to understand but many Barcelona fans won't let us hear word since Barcelona won against Real Madrid, The season is long and if we can remember a season that Barcelona defeated Real Madrid with 4 goals Real Madrid won the league title and still won champion league, Real Madrid is still the team we should trust they can surprise us any time, Barcelona has been defeated by the small team this season and that doesn't mean that if they meet any strong opponents they won't defeat Barcelona again, I know they are having a good performance this season but I believe if Real Madrid serious in the game against Barcelona Barcelona will not win the match.

Even Barcelona did not believe that they would defeat Real Madrid because From the beginning of the match, Real Madrid was playing very well but in the second everything changed which allowed Barcelona to create chances and score goals, in the next El Clasico I don't think Barcelona will win the game easily because Real Madrid will play well as they have know-how Barcelona use to play, in the game I also observe that the Absent of Rodrygo and Courtios affect the team.

About the Ballon d'Or, i wonder, what exactly are the specific criteria to become a winner? because as far as i know, players who get the Ballon d'Or must be players who have good performance & also win titles in various competitions.

The Ballon d'Or is not an award that is specifically for competitions in the European league, but must also be accompanied by achievements at the international level. Vini didn't get anything with Brazil, while Rodri managed to bring Spain to win the EURO.

Looking at the statistics of this season, Mallorca, although they will play as the away team, have an advantage over Alaves. Alaves also suffered consecutive defeats and made them have to be in an unsatisfactory ranking. While Mallorca is currently in 7th place.
I think you made the right choice by betting on Mallorca and the odds are also quite tempting. I might also bet on this match, or on several matches that will be played this week. I myself prefer multi bets, it's more exciting for me, yes, even though I experience more defeats. Lol

Oh no, I don't think Real Madrid have the strongest squad this season. The strong element is not a team with many stars. It's a team with all the elements.
The definition of “the strongest football team in the world” is always a controversial topic because it takes into account many factors and each person has a different point of view. For the current situation of Real Madrid, I just consider Real Madrid as the most expensive team today.
If we talk about Barcelona, ​​I believe they are the strongest team at the moment. The perfect combination of coach Hansi Flick's tactics, key players, and young talents is perfect. Real Madrid are lacking the unity factor that would make them a real monster.

I will not judge like you, Mbappe's arrival has no bad impact, in my opinion the loss of Toni Kross has a bad impact on Real Madrid's midfield. Mbappe is a potential striker who is also experienced, but in this match he was still caught in the offside trap many times. The only way to eliminate the offside trap is to use a creative midfielder (like Toni Kross) and must have chemistry with his striker. Real Madrid's current weakness, apart from the lack of defenders, they have not found a replacement like Toni Kross.

On the other hand, if we talk about Mbappe's Offside problem, it does not mean that Mbappe has a bad impact on Real Madrid. This is the fault of the coach who was unable to outsmart Barcelona's offside trap. In addition, because Barcelona's defense line is very disciplined, even though they are in the middle of the field, I who watched it emphasized how they set offside traps. Seeing Barcelona's way of defending is very neat and pleasing to the eye. Flick has succeeded in creating art in defense.

Real Madrid team was the best team this season and after Mbappé came to Real Madrid no one had any doubts about Real Madrid's attacking line but everyone said that Real Madrid can beat every club in Europe with this team. However, I don't see Real Madrid performing very well in La Liga or Champions League recently. Real Madrid played at their home venue against Barcelona where they were beaten 4-0 by Barcelona. Before the defeat against Barcelona, no one thought that Barcelona could beat Real Madrid by such a big margin. The club has some injury problems which could also be the reason for their poor performance. But the team that Real Madrid fielded against Barcelona was definitely the best team and Real Madrid should have won against Barcelona with that team.

He was able to weather the storm of injuries very well last season and he also realized how important it is to rotate the squad. The defeat that was obtained when facing Barcelona is something that might happen but to what extent they can change the way to continue to perform better to catch up with Barcelona's points. Blaming Ancelloti entirely is also not right, especially if you say that Real Madrid players did not work well in the match because there are times when any team will lose even though they have fought to play better.

Ancelotti's task ahead is how to restore morale and he must make some efforts to continue to increase the chances of playing better. Some results in previous matches were indeed less than optimal and perhaps Ancelloti has gotten a picture that needs to be evaluated.

Mbappe sometimes escaped the offside trap and put Barcelona's keeper in danger. However, the numbers he got offsides and failed 1v1 against Pena are ridiculously high. Also, being offside is a big problem. It means he is unaware of the offside trap, or he's too lazy to adjust his position to get into onside position, or probably both. That's why he was getting lowest rating compared to the other players.

Yes I have just seen their record and their match performance which feels like the best team.Every team player has the same goal to become a good player and develop more. But very few players will be seen who play for their own sake and for the development of the team.  But the goal of every player and team is to win the match and reach the title.We have a problem with their players because they are not playing well.  However, only one defeat and one draw can be seen in their 10 matches.  But every team has one or the other player who is weak but will become good with time.Winning the next few matches will put them in a much better position.  But something takes time because their record is not so weak that it puts them in a bad position. There are better teams out there to weaken Real Madrid.

Alaves vs Mallorca

This is quite an interesting match and can be betting option, Alaves is playing at home but they have performed poorly for the start of this season with 11 match that have been played, so far Alaves only has 3 win and is ranked 16th, while Mallorca has shown quite significant development by achieving 5 wins and in the last match they were even able to hold Bilbao to draw even though they had received 1 red card in the first half.
On the other hand, Mallorca also has very tough defense and has been proven in all match which shows they have never conceded more than 2 goal, I believe in Mallorca and take them as the favorites who give odds @3.00.

With Barcelona itself which is indeed in increasing performance, it is not possible for them to be an unbeaten team throughout the season because we know that it is difficult to happen, as well as Real Madrid, who are their current rivals, it seems they are having problems because they have been defeated by Barcelona with a fantastic goal. I don't think Barcelona will be an unbeaten team but it is possible that they can win the title this season even though it is still a long way to go.
With their next match which will take place later on the 3rd against Espanyol, the chances of winning that they have are greater than their opponents, I also think they will easily get through this match. Meanwhile, with Real Madrid they seem to be having problems, one of which is the tactics they play this season. As I found that Carlo Ancelotti found himself in a tactical deadlock, maybe this is what caused their performance to decline. In addition, with their attacking players Mbappe and Vinicius I see the egos of these two players are equally high, this might cause problems in scoring goals.

Mbappe will adapt to his new role in Real Madrid because he is wise enough for adaptation. Barcelona succeeded in this El Clasico with very high defensive line to set up double-edged offline trap against Mbappe and Real Madrid. Real Madrid lost this El Clasico because two first goals from Lewandowski and I think if Barcelona did not score these two goals, the match can be balanced and Barcelona can be punished by Real Madrid and Mbappe.

Things can be changed in their second El Clasico in second half of La Liga 2024 - 2025 season. About risk of offline trap, if you are old enough, you would know about Filippo Inzaghi, who was described as a player who lived on the offside line. He afford to have many offside situations in a match but he only needs one successful situation for scoring goal. The match between Barcelona and Real Madrid days ago is like this, if Real Madrid score first, Mbappe will destroy Barcelona with his speed.

Yes, this season Villareal's performance has indeed improved quite significantly. Because it has been proven that until now Villareal has been able to wipe out most of its matches with a win. In fact, if you look at the squad that Villareal currently has, it could be said to be mediocre. However, it turns out that with a squad that looks mediocre, Villareal is able to become quite a great competitor in the top 4 of Laliga. In my opinion, Villareal currently has a very good squad balance and the chemistry between the players is very good. So even though Atletico Madrid's players are mediocre (in quality), if the balance of the squad is very good, the results will definitely be good. Because so far Villareal hasn't conceded too many goals, this means their defense line is quite good. Then if you look at Villareal's ball control in every match, it can be said to be quite good, this also means that Villareal's midfield is quite good at organizing attacks. And if you look at goal productivity, so far Villareal is quite good because in all competitions Villareal has been able to score 26 goals. So that's why I say that Villareal has a very good squad balance.

Then talking about the Villareal VS Rayo match, I think it is clear that this match will definitely be won by Villareal. Because we can see that the rankings of the two teams in Laliga are quite different, Rayo is in 9th place while Villareal is in 3rd place. Apart from that, even if we look at the head to head record of the two teams, the results are quite even, namely the same with 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw. Then if you look at the last 5 matches that Villareal has had with Rayo, their record is also the same, namely 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. But still, if we look at Villareal's current performance, we can be sure that Villareal will definitely win when facing Rayo. Therefore, I will also bet on Villareal in this match.

Seems to early for predicting the La Liga winner in this season although Barcelona have advantage with six points remaining awhile, have many matches left. Real Madrid indeed loss from the first el clasico match not close opportunity for defending their La Liga trophy because last season got defeated from Barcelona but success winning La Liga and UEFA Champion League trophy.

La Liga have played games week 11 and have 27 matches left, I think have all possibilities for Real Madrid returning back to the top standings or other teams will stop Barcelona winning trend behind their top and consistent performance awhile. Not fairly predicting the candidate winner for La Liga this season because have many matches left and all teams will plays many crucial matches.

.Yes, I agree with you. This is just beginning to compare it with solidarity. Many aspects we can see why they lost when face that both club. We can not immediately judge because Anceloti fault or because player does not compact on the field. I think what they problem face now is just mentally from pressure. We have to look at When Real Madrid faced Lille before, Real Madrid was held to a draw when derby Madrid on Atletico which I think this is a problem cause can be affect when they away to Lille. So are when El Classico before, Real Madrid demanded must to win from the media and fans which I think that pressure can't be handled by young player on the field.

Yeah indeed for now we have not been able to conclude anything and everything can still change, Barcelona so far played well but that does not mean they can't be defeated because in their records they have lost once this means that other teams can do the same thing through luck. Laliga still has a lot of matches in front and Real Madrid is a lot of time to improve the team's performance, 6 points are not a safe position to secure the title I mean it's the same as winning 2 matches.
