In addition to the players, of course Hansi Flick plays an important role as a coach. He was able to create a good strategy that made Madrid players frustrated in the match and indeed Madrid's appearance was not as expected, many opportunities were wasted, not calm in building attacks, plus they were too weak in maintaining the defense which was utilized very well by Barcelona. Barcelona is a real threat in La Liga this season in this case Madrid must immediately fix the problems in their team if they do not want to see their rivals lift the trophy at the end of the season.

As I said, Xavi is observant in seeing the potential of Barcelona's young players. He brought several La Masia academy players into the first team, unfortunately Xaxi did not give much time and was unable to utilize the potential of several of these youngsters. However, his contribution to Barcelona must be appreciated. In Flick's hands, he did something different than the previous coach. Even several players were about to be included in the transfer window list, but Flick was able to make him one of the impressive players since the beginning of the season. Raphinha, who was once predicted to be released by Barcelona, ​​is now playing much more impressively and dangerously. Lewandowski, Xavi said that he was finished. Thanks to Hansi Flick's touch, he has scored 17 goals with Barcelona. 14 in La Liga, 3 in the Champions League. As for one of Barcelona's defenders, Cubarsi is often given playing time by Xavi regardless of Barca's core players being injured. In the Flick era, his game has matured. Plus, Casado and Inigo Martenez who exceeded expectations compared to their performance in previous seasons. Flick with his experience is able to mix a team that can be said to be not in its best performance, several players are injured and financial crisis, but he still works optimally to bring Barca much better. so far, they have proven it even though the competition is still very long. anyway, Flick once said that he was inspired by Pep Guardiola. that's why, he emphasizes his team to play with high intensity by controlling the course of the match. even so, Flick has his own style. what is certain, Barcelona has a chance to win the La Liga trophy. if they do not slip match after match, then it is not wrong if Barca is still able to maintain the top of the La Liga standings.

Barcelona is currently in the number one position in La Liga although Real Madrid can take the number one position again at any time. Every season of La Liga we see this where either Barcelona is the champion or Real Madrid is the champion. In the last few seasons, Barcelona and Real Madrid have won La Liga titles like no other team in the league has done. But Real Madrid are definitely under a lot of pressure this season as Barcelona are on top of the points table with 6 points more than Real Madrid. I think this six point gap is too much and if Barcelona keep up their consistency it is not possible for Real Madrid to reduce this point.

Barcelona is doing extremely well and dominating the league competition, and I am confident that if they are given the opportunity to defeat Real Madrid, they will most likely win the league if they can continue to perform as they are without any problems or changing their approach. Flick has been dominating since the beginning of this season, and some believe that Real Madrid will undoubtedly win the league and continue to dominate the competition, but Barcelona are presently the favorites to win the laliga this time because they lead Madrid by six points. And before Barcelona loses a match, it will not be simple because they are in better shape and prepared to meet any club in the league competition.

With what am thinking,  Real Madrid can probably leave league for Barcelona to focus on the Champions League. However, the club has the potential to surprise people and top the league table before the season ends. Flick will not lose consecutive matches, giving Ancelotti the opportunity to lead them. I'm surprised Madrid lost three points at home against Barcelona. I'm confident they need to adjust their statistics this time since he won't favour them. I noticed this season Real Madrid are struggling to score goals, but in the time of the UCL, they really do well since I was extremely impressed when they overcame Dortmund in the UCL past weeks, let see how the competition will end.

It is true, this is not entirely the coach's fault, but usually the coach will be the first person to be blamed when a team's game does not go well and that makes them lose by a landslide, especially in a very big match like El Clasico.
Personally, I can't blame the coach completely, because before this match started I saw that there were many problems they were facing.
Honestly, the midfield caught my attention the most after Toni Kroos left. After his departure, it was so obvious that the attack was not going well. The game scheme they implemented was not perfect, that was my personal assessment.

This is the intelligence of Barcelona players and added luck is on Barcelona, ​​no matter how good the players that Real Madrid have if that day is their unlucky day then it can not be avoided, so just accept this defeat that the squad that Real Madrid has is not as good as Barcelona's, it could be Real Madrid's biggest obstacle regarding their defense line which is too weak, Real Madrid is too focused on their front line but forgets about the defense that they have this must be quickly anticipated by Ancelotti if left alone then this big defeat could happen again.

I don't quite agree that Ancelotti made a mistake here, I'm more inclined to think that Barcelona was lucky to score very difficult goals for the goalkeeper in some moments, and I think that Real suffered the most because it has problems in defense, Barcelona took full advantage of this. I'm sure that Real and Ancelotti won't give up just like that, they have the character of champions and they will fight to the end. Barcelona was getting a good advantage now, but Real will try to follow them and wait for their chance.

But from my too early thinking, Barcelona is indeed worthy and like having a guarantee to get a title in La Liga this season. Even though I was a fan of Madrid, I understand the current conditions Barcelona is utilizing the situation of Madrid which is adapting to Mbappe and also Barcelona feel that at UCL it will be very difficult to compete with Madrid.
On the one hand Madrid itself will also be more focused on UCL than La Liga. So seeing conditions like this makes me sure that Barcelona will eventually become a leader in La Liga (except getting a big problem with the injury to the main player)

Well, it is clear that the Ballon d'Or jury does not agree with you and they are 100 people, whose opinion is a priori as valid as yours. The argument about titles won doesn't work for me, because a player can be very good and if the team he is in isn't good he won't win as many titles.

Are you not a Madrid fan by any chance? You don't like Messi last year nor Rodri this year because Vinicius would have been better in your opinion.

You just have to remember that last season something similar happened, Madrid lost against Barcelona, ??but Madrid won the league and that's what's important here, that wasn't a final, it was just a classic, yes it is important for what it represents, but it wasn't the final of the league, for now Madrid is still the defending champion and will defend that title so from now on they have to give their all and leave everything on the field because that's how they should do it, it's obvious that the 4-4-2 doesn't work anymore, and that's one of Ancelottio's mistakes, he believes that Madrid is an Italian team, that its strength is its defense, Madrid's strength is its forwards and midfield.

You have actually said it all, and I also share the same sentiment as you, some credit should be given to Xavi for playing an important role in bringing most of this young lads to the spotlight which is now paying a huge dividend for this Barcelona side, and it has reduced the financial cost of acquiring most quality players they now have in the team that's a financial cost benefit for the management. And to be frank, Hansi Flick is using them to a good effect, but on the aspect of dominating the game like the days of Pep guardiola, that is what am not sure of. Maybe the 0:4 victory Barcelona got against Real Madrid in the last El classico entrench that thinking of domination of the league but not what am seeing for now

You are right with your observations, that any of these teams that will win the league always start putting up good performances from the beginning of the season till maybe close to the end when it has been confirmed that they will win the league. It was the same thing thag happened to Barcelona last two seasons with Xavi, they started the season just like this, and Real Madrid was unable to challenge them that season. These two clubs are rivals and they are always rotating the title within themselves for quite some time now. I have already given the league to Barcelona, because Ancelotti will prefer to take his UCL matches more seriously than Laliga.

Football is a sport that unites people. So it wouldn't be fair to go out there and play after this disaster. I think it would be logical to postpone the matches. I'm sure the Spanish Football Federation will appoint the right person for this. I'm very sorry for those who lost their lives in Spain. I offer my condolences to their close relatives. The whole world needs to be united on this issue. We can use the unifying power of football later. Right now, it should be time for people to heal their wounds.

He has chosen Real Madrid to continue his career, so whatever the situation there he must be ready to accept the consequences. Not all players can make the right decisions in their careers, just look at Hazard's fate when he moved to Real Madrid, even though he was at the peak of his form while playing for Chelsea, Coutinho was also unable to maintain his best performance at Barcelona.
One of the reasons for Arda's hampered development is because he does not have the trust of Ancelotti. If I may speculate, maybe he would have developed much more if he had chosen Barcelona because the club always gives opportunities to players who have above average abilities, especially now that it is being handled by Hansi Flick who always promotes young players.

This is a very sad and difficult situation for everyone affected by the flash floods in Valencia, in conditions like this, of course the safety and welfare of the community must be the top priority, so indeed the postponement of the match is the right step, not only the match against Madrid, but reportedly the match against Levante in the Copa del Rey has also been postponed before, I think for the sake of humanity then La Liga will of course take a delay step to ensure that everyone stays safe and does not take unnecessary risks, reportedly at the moment the Valencia region has suffering very severe damage and destruction due to the storm and also heavy rain which is part of the strong storm that also caused two tornadoes in Valencia previously,  however, it is reported that currently the government has lowered the status of red to yellow in response to the rainfall that has begun to stop.

Even though Barcelona are doing well currently, I feel like there are more matches to come, so they still have a lot to cover before we can say they will be the winner of the title this season. I think this is just the beginning. Although I know that they are the top and they won’t want to drop any points, but nobody knows, we still need to watch more matches from them before we can decide or predict what will happen at the end of the season.

Furthermore, don’t judge the title winner because they won the biggest team in the league; the season is still early, and we can’t say what will happen if they meet next time. The competition still has a long way to go. Let's observe more and see if they will continue keeping the consistency. From there, we can judge and conclude that they will win La Liga this season.

Right, what you say makes sense and that's what happened so far. Real Madrid have great players in the squad but they show individual games and when facing a team that plays teamwork it will be difficult for Real Madrid to win the match, I think Real Madrid coach has realized this after evaluating the last defeat. In the next match to catch up with points, Real Madrid will try to be harder and they need 6 points to stay on the track if they can't do it, Real Madrid must end a dream about the title of this season.

In the next match Real Madrid will face Valencia, although playing away should be the right moment to collect 3 points especially at this time Valencia as one of the worst teams in Laliga this means that Real Madrid has a greater chance of winning. By the way, I heard rumors related Real Madrid coach there is a possibility they will have a new coach even associated with Xabi Alonso.

The obstacle that hinders Madrid and Barcelona in the upcoming El Clasico match is the readiness of the players. We know how Madrid is currently disadvantaged with several injured players. But we don't know what the team's situation will be in the next El Clasico match. It could be that the situation is reversed and Barcelona is the one who is disadvantaged. As football lovers, we fans definitely want to see the team competing with their full strength, so we can see the strength of the team and also the tactical intelligence used by the coach in the match. And that will definitely be very entertaining.

Valencia ask for Real Madrid LaLiga clash to be postponed as devastating flash floods kill at least 51 people

Valencia have reportedly asked for their LaLiga clash with Real Madrid this weekend to be postponed amid devastating flash flooding. At least 51 people have died after torrential rain hit the south-east region of Spain. The town of Chiva, near Valencia, saw a year's worth of rain fall in just an eight hour period. More than 1000 troops have been deployed as footage on social media showed the horrifying impact on the region. Officials say it is currently 'impossible' to put a final figure on the number of people who have died. The club's Copa del Rey tie with Parla Escuela on Wednesday night has already been called off. "The club considers that this is the most appropriate measure due to the serious consequences of the #DANA that we are experiencing in the province of Valencia, the recommendations to avoid travel and the communication cuts with Madrid," read a Valencia statement.

Spanish publication Relevo report that LaLiga are now considering a request to postpone their clash with Real Madrid on Saturday, due to be played in Valencia.

In my opinion, their decision not to attend the Ballon d'Or award ceremony was a childish decision, in fact it was the right decision for the Real Madrid team to reprimand or mock UEFA in giving the award, how could Vini and Ancelotti last season have good results but in reality they failed to get it which actually fell to them Vini as the winner of the Ballon d'Or.

Although that did not happen to Vini's fate this season, in my opinion it will be difficult for him to get it next season because many suspect that Real Madrid does not have a good relationship with UEFA, and that could be the main factor why Vini did not get it and the most difficult to express is that skin color is also very difficult for Vini, I read in some fan comments that it is the basis of UEFA, it is also very unfortunate for Vini this season to fail to get it.
