The Real Madrid squad actually always plays well but somehow they are bad at finishing attacks. like in the match against Barcelona in the first half, Real Madrid played well, but they were bad at finishing. such as Vini Jr. even failing to direct his shot into the Barcelona goal from very close range in the 21st minute. Even though he had managed to break through Barcelona's defense very well. And then Mbappe also managed to score a goal, although unfortunately he was in an offside position so his goal was not counted. Meanwhile, in the second half everything started to belong to Barcelona. Because it seems like Hansi Flick has started to understand how to break Ancelotti's strategy. So Real Madrid lost quite surprisingly because of the number of goals against them in the second half. And actually, when Real Madrid started the season not so brilliantly, it reminded me of the 2023 season, when Real Madrid also failed to win the LaLiga title. And at that time Barcelona managed to win the title. I think this could happen. And now we can actually no longer say we are at the start of the season. because we are already in week 11. Where we will be heading towards the middle of the season. The difference of 6 points is actually quite big and this is quite worrying for Real Madrid.

From what I have seen, Real Madrid players spend their positions selfishly while Barcelona players prefer to pass the ball to each other and play as a team. Especially Mbappé and Vinicius Junior are very selfish in this regard in Real Madrid. It is a very good thing that they trust themselves, of course, but to tell the truth, it is always more important to think about the team. If you lose a position selfishly, criticism will find you after a while. You cannot act selfishly in Real Madrid, even though you are one of the world's leading talents like Mbappé.

Barcelona has shown great form this season and the win over Madrid is proof that young players like Pedro and Yamal have brought new energy and creativity to the squad, besides that as you say, the combination of young players with experienced players like Lewandowski has made Barcelona this season very balanced and dynamic, Flick deserves praise for his ability to manage the team and maximize the potential of every their players, although they are currently faced with complicated financial problems but precisly it has no effect on Barcelona performance , Barcelona with a more balanced squad, in my opinion,  is the strongest candidate to be able to win the league this season, although Madrid may be a serious challenger but in fact Barcelona is much better in terms of performance, team cohesion and also consistency.

Barcelona has better strikers as we also see the like of Lewandowski who is performing very good both in domestic league and the UEFA Champions league, with the financial crises Barcelona were facing I thought they will not do well because of inability to buy pay a reasonable amount of money to there players but i was wrong their win against Real Madrid last week was a like a surprise to me I never believed they will humiliate Real Madrid by trashing them 4-0.
What Barcelona is doing is team work and it will be difficult for any team to win them in the Spanish laliga and if they continue this way they will definitely win the Spanish laliga tittle this season.

Barcelona did not have any other option and even the management didn't think the young players would play at this level, Barcelona decided to give them a chance to prove themselves. Perhaps this season, they could help them because Barcelona doesn't have enough money to purchase top players from other teams. After all, they believe in their youth academy players, and we notice that they are doing well and are competent enough to compete against any opponents. So we don't have to worry about the players Ancelotti selects in his matches, they just signed Arda Güler last season and had players that could play his position, so I can't see any issue with Ancelotti not giving him enough opportunities.

Everyone likes Hansi Flick's work, and he did a fantastic job developing the young players. I feel this may teach other managers to have confidence in their young players, even if the team isn't doing well financially. La Liga seems to be more difficult than the previous season, and Ancelotti will give Arda Güler chances when he is needed.

Barça is playing magnificently this year. The entire team is at a high level in the competition with its young players. They have brought in magnificent players from the academy such as Gavi, Pedri, Yamal. They also have talented players such as Lewandowski and Olmo. Therefore, Barça's surprising performance against Real was not a surprise. Real is a very good team but they are not as good as Barça this year. If Real Madrid suffers another surprising loss of points, Barça will not easily give up the lead in the league.

In my opinion, being in Real Madrid or Barcelona is the same, they are both elite La Liga clubs and there is no guarantee regarding Arda Guller whether he will be played a lot on the field, each club Real Madrid or Barcelona already has good players who fill the main squad especially Arda Guler's position so this player is only used as a reserve player if their main players are having problems, moreover Lamine Yamal and Arda Guler cannot be equated even though they are not much different in age but if you look at their abilities, it looks Lamine Yamal has strong potential to become a good player any coach can see that in Lamine Yamal.

Any season that Real Madrid will do well domestically they usually start very early. We saw that last season, they started winning from the very beginning of the season. This time around they are not there. We still here thinking that the season is still young before you know it they will lose another match. Madrid are not playing convincingly and you know it. You see these young Barcelona boys, they are eager to make names for themselves. While in the Madrid camp we have big boys who are more interested in showcasing individual skills. Speaking of injuries, I don't think it's only peculiar to one team. It can happen to Madrid first before Barcelona, if something like that will happen this season. We are watching, let's see how Madrid will do the magic of overtake Barcelona at the top of the league table.

But IMO I believe Real Madrid will be the champion again this season. Yes of course Barcelona is currently leading 6 points from Real Madrid but Madrid has an extraordinary champion mentality. It was a painful defeat from Barcelona but it doesn't mean Real Madrid is weaker. Even they often look difficult in the League or UCL but in the end they will be the champion. This is the same as Ancelotti said. I am not underestimating Barca and being optimistic. But we often see Madrid make an extraordinary comeback and become champions.

Vinicius has many reasons to be upset in this situation as this Ballon d'Or is like a scandal and a theft like ones for Messi rather than more deserved players like Sneijder, Ribery and Lewandowski. By three main criteria for a Ballon d'Or winner, if Vinicus does not win it, a more deserved player is Carvajal, not Rodri. Because Rodri only won Premier League and Euro titles but Carvajal won La Liga, Champions League and Euro titles.

Rodri is a great player but he does not deserve to win this Ballon d'Or and it's better, more deserved if he won Ballon d'Or last year, not Messi.

La Liga is becoming more exciting with appearances of Lamine Yamal and a very young and competitive squad of Barcelona as well as Mbappe in Real Madrid. They're going to make La Liga big again and many star players are plahing in this league, Vinicius, Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo and Mbappe in Real Madrid, Yamal in Barcelona but of course Barcelona have more star players than Yamal.

In fact, in this case, all efforts are based on the player himself, not the club, so wherever the player is, there is no guarantee that they will be successful when they cannot develop themselves. Arda is now quite comfortable in Madrid even though the portion of playing minutes may still be a little less but it is already very good for a 19-year-old player who competes at the level of Madrid which is indeed full of talent and there is actually no guarantee that he is in Barcelona will be better than Madrid at this time.
Do not because Barcelona are now playing well at the start of this season as if the previous decision was wrong because if we look at Arda's competitors who were recruited by Barcelona now even on loan to Betis because they did not develop their performance at Barcelona.
Barcelona's young talent is good enough now but that doesn't mean Madrid's young players are bad because if we turn the comparison to the previous season then I think the situation is reversed.

Barcelona are the standout team in Europe at the moment, under new manager Hansi Flick they look simply unbeatable. Whether in the Champions League or La Liga, Barcelona still shows formidable form, proving to be a strong candidate for the championship title.
Coach Hansi Flick has a special mission. He has come to Barcelona with the determination to revive the team and bring the club back to its golden age. Flick's presence is a testament to Barcelona's commitment to youth development and shows that they are on the right track in integrating young talent with first-team stars.

The front three Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, and Raphinha- provide most of the team's goals. Could they recreate the trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar who led Barcelona to the "treble" under Luis Enrique?

The assumption you made is correct, because if we say Barcelona can become La Liga champions after beating Real Madrid and Munich, of course that can be said to be less than accurate. Because of course this season is still very long and of course many things will happen. But here we only predict based on current performance and also the record that Barcelona has achieved so far this season. In my opinion, if we predict that Barcelona can have a very big potential to become champions in La Liga, I think that assumption is also correct. Because based on the match record that Barcelona has achieved so far, it gives us confidence that Barcelona is indeed worthy of being predicted to have a greater chance than other teams in La Liga to become champions. Because we can see for ourselves that Barcelona currently has an extraordinary performance. So if there are people who doubt Barcelona with their current performance, I think that person should see the replays of the matches that Barcelona has played.

Then talking about the many young players who fill the Barcelona squad, I think this will have a very good impact on Barcelona. Because the logic is like this, currently these players have been able to show extraordinary performance for Barcelona, ​​​​then it is certain that in the next few years the performance of these players will be even better. Because these young players certainly have the potential to continue to be explored and developed again. So basically Barcelona has an extraordinary investment from the players it currently has. Therefore I conclude that Barcelona is currently arguably successful by using many young players.

Barcelona does have the ability to see the talent of young players and they understand the strategy so they take advantage of financial instability and give young players the opportunity to show their quality. Xabi has a role in making several players promoted and Flick just has to maximize the strength left by him. Yamal has special qualities and his talent is really extraordinary for players his age and he needs to maintain his physical fitness so he can continue to give his best for the team.

Apart from Yamal, there are several young assets owned by Barcelona and when they get older and their experience increases, the Pep Guardiola era may repeat itself and they will succeed in becoming the strongest team in La Liga.

What comes next is more important for Barcelona. They had a great match against Real Madrid and they should continue it. It seems like the championship awaits Barcelona after this because no one can stop them with this game. Also, Pena gave a lot of confidence in the goal. He was a great goalkeeper in the Real match. You can trust him.

After Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi left Laliga, something was different and what is certain is that the El Clasico match was not as exciting as when Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi competed in Laliga. but yes, even though Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are no longer in Laliga, the El Clasico match is still an interesting match and now the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona still continues and this is an interesting thing. Yes, it's a shame, now Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are no longer in Laliga. If they were still there, it would definitely be even more exciting.

It is true that a new era has now emerged and what is certain is that the players, clubs and fans of the two clubs (Real Madrid and Barcelona) will continue to compete and of course with Real Madrid's defeat a few days ago, Real Madrid will certainly improve its performance and certainly Barcelona will also continue to want to win. Yes, I hope the next El Clasico match will be more exciting and hopefully the match will run smoothly and no commotion will occur.

Ancelotti and Hansi Flick will definitely make their best strategy in the El Clasico match later and if Real Madrid lose again, of course this will embarrass Real Madrid for the second time and for sure Real Madrid will be embarrassed because they have many star players who Real Madrid should have great potential can win.

There are two sides that are natural. Agree or disagree we must respect each other because we are professionals and have dignity. There are various bad and racist opinions for both. It shouldn't happen, we understand how the system works for this event. Thinking from the condition of this system then I think we don't need to be arrogant and inferior because the categories they apply don't seem to work well. There seems to be a double standard that can change at any time. I think now Vini and Real Madrid should think about how they can win the League and UCL again. They need individual awards but team awards would be better.

Barcelona are terrific in shape this season. Watched their performance and you see how they're thrashing oppositions and that's good stats for the club and the new coach. Hansi Flick made all this possible and we expects more striving results from Blaugrana in upcoming matches. They've conquer pre-eminent rivals and you see them not going any where this season? Ofcourse not because they've pointed straight right to the deserved atmosphere, nobody stopping them in La Liga this season.

Reference to the players, they're actually in superb form. Raphinha is doing his job as a frontline, doing the best to suit in every possible tracts and more to come from him. While Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal are strong pillars in the frontline, always open for attacking opportunities and when they've closer chance, they wouldn't hesitate to drag out impressive performance. With this particular experience outstanding squad, I don't think Hansi Flick will find issue lifting major trophies.

Do you mean the ballon d'or award? For those who don't know, Vinicius Junior had hoped that they would give it to him but they gave it to another Spaniard, Rodrigo, and Vilnicius got upset and didn't go. The controversy has reached absurd extremes, like Vilnicious' fans picking on Olivia Rodrigo because of the resemblance in the surname but that has nothing to do with the player.

Barcelona has been trolling Real Madrid all week lol. I mean not only that they beat them 4-0, but they have been mocking Madrids decision to not join the award ceremony for a whole day now as well.

I love this battle between them, we have seen amazing scores before, this isn't the first time Barcelona beat Real Madrid by a big margin, and definitely Real did the same at times as well, this is just how a derby goes, sometimes it's very close or even a goalless tie, and sometimes it's a big domination by a single team as well.

All in all, I would say this is a fun thing to watch and I had fun time. I believe there is really no going back on what Real Madrid lost, but they need to now use this as fuel and try to do much better instead of losing morale.
