You forgot Casado, it's so funny how no one is seeing his performance or is it only me and the manager that's noticing it... if you watch Barcelona games these days, Casado is always being tackled roughly because of his performance...recovery and ball feedings and at the same time he's strong that's why he's making the start  list .
Pedri, Lamine, Olmo is another key players for Barcelona,they create big chances for attackers... olmo changes barca game entirely despite having short time play, I believe gavi will come in fully soon he's just getting started.  In short,  Barcelona is full with valuable asset and stars

ArderGuler is a great player but he’s just unlucky not to be playing with players that are less qualitative to him in the club. The likes he’s playing together with now have outshined his performance and he won’t have anything to offer inside the pitch for now unless those players are injured and unable to play at that time. He is a very good player and if he stays in Real Madrid, I see his time also coming soon to shine as other top players in the club are shining now. If he stays for some few more years, he may get a more playing time than he’s getting now. He’s a player with potential, so it will be hard for Real Madrid to let go off him now.


17 years old Yamal is an inspiration to a lot of young players now, he has shown some level of dominance in the club and that has given him the position to be a starter in the club even at this his young age. Hansi Flick is trying to maximise all the young players from Barcelona and we can see him fielding most of them in games now and their performance are always top notch. Building young players from the club is not an easy job but Hansi Flick is making it look much easier with his strategy employed by this young players and excelling. Barcelona will have a good end to this season with this great performance they’re currently exhibiting this season.

Now it seems interesting to see to see Barcelona with this rate while still Real Madrid has much better palyers in this team and to be honest they have a much better situation to win the La Liga title at the end of the season. However, there is still a long way ahead and we can't just say Barcelona can win the La Liga title because of beating both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in two games because they are still a young team and if you check the palyers of Barcelona you can see most of the palyers Flick use are young talents, especially the palyers he got as defenders for Barcelona.

Arda Guler is a genius and a young man who exhibits lots of technique, and therefore his decision to form part of Real Madrid team is definitely made with an Upper most consideration because Real Madrid is a club that has been in Europe for many years. We can observe the continuity of Real Madrid in conquering the trophies also, the great possibility for young talents to show themselves on the high international arena. In the nearest future it is possible to expect that Guler will be incorporated into the game of Madrid more actively, for sure, it will bring useful experience for him in the pursuit of the large goals.

Barcelona are also currently quite in very good form as well, and it would also be fun to watch this duel of this two giant football clubs that in the struggle for championships both in domestic and European leagues. It demonstrates how captivating football is in Spain: rising stars like Guler can develop themselves at a club that plays in the top division. The name does not a club make; the ability to bring on players in the right environment and allowing them to maximize their potential is what Real Madrid seems to have wised up on in drafting the future.

Yamal being a messi-like player?, Well, not too sure of how that's going to work, but to be honest, the young lad is just too incredible. I think he will perform better, if actually we don't have too many expectations from him like we had in Ansu fati or mbappe.

Watching that game feels like watching the old Barce. And, I've noticed that most people are just focused on either Yamal/Gavi/Pedri, which I guess they haven't take a little moment to observed how good Cubarsi and Balde plays (hope I spelt that right). I was shocked when I discovered that cubarsi is just 17years old, and he is literally handling the defense like a pro. Balde is also an incredible left back that has been doing great as well. I think as Barce stands now, they already have the quality and the squad depth. So, maybe in the next 3-4years, we might be seeing majority of their players from age 17-26/27.

I am not quite surprised with this change and to me I’m current situations this is very well justifiable, before the start of the season many think it will be a struggling period for Barcelona because not many people trusted that Hansi flick could get the boys playing like this so fast, many like me think it will take Time before they get use to his style of play even though I was more than convinced his Barcelona side will be better than that of Xavi’s. Also with Real Madrid having added football hottest prospect it was convincing that they will be much better than last season.

Currently it wasn’t the case and Barcelona have established an early lead at the top and the only time to reduce this hype was the el Classico but losing that much was definitely going to make bookmarkers have a change of odds. Mind you this league has always been won most at times by anyone who tops the other before the second phase starts, with the 6 points now and how low on moral Madrid clubs are I think the odds seems justified to me

Real Madrid crying over an award is getting annoying as well. I am not saying Vini didn't deserve it, and if you ask me Jude deserved it more than Vini to be fair, and if Jude won instead of Vini, Madritistas would still be happy, it would only be Vini that is upset and nobody else, and Vini would have to fake a happiness just because Jude won.

Now we see his real face, and I am pretty sure this is exactly why he didn't win. EVERYONE knows he is a dirty player, he has been against fair play all his life, and this is why everyone hates him, people hated Ronaldo too, was he black? That means it has nothing to do with skin colour and everything to do with attitude. Modric won, never heard anyone hate him, as you can see, if you are a good person, you will not be hated and this is why Vini lost. He has UCL and La Liga cups, he should be quite happy ,

So 

Barcelona Fc - 1.73

Real Madrid - 2.10

Atlético Madrid - 26.00

As I said, the change in the coefficients is quite significant, I would even call it a revolution. I don't remember one game changing the bookmakers' assessment so drastically at this stage of the tournament. Last year, when Bayern lost 3-0 to Bayer, the odds movement was also abrupt, but not as much.
6 points is a huge advantage in a situation where two teams are dominating and essentially competing only with each other, but still, there is a feeling that Barcelona is overrated and Real, on the contrary, is underrated.

What is even more surprising is that Real Madrid failed to score a single goal, even though their front line is one of the best at the moment. In addition, conceding 4 goals in one match is clearly a big problem, where Ancelotti must immediately find a solution to the poor performance of the back line. Seeing this, it seems that management must look for quality defenders in the January transfer market, to overcome the back line crisis due to a storm of injuries.
By successfully defeating Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, after defeating Bayern Munich previously in the Champions League, Barcelona seems to have gained momentum to say that they have been reborn with a new generation. Topping the standings with a difference of 6 points is actually not completely safe, but psychologically Hansi Flick squad is in a very comfortable situation.
There are 23 more matches ahead, many things can still happen, it is possible that Real Madrid will return to the top. Atletico Madrid is another tough challenge that Barcelona must be able to overcome in the future, if successful, Barcelona will spend half the season at the top of the standings without any significant interference and pressure.

Even though I adore Madrid, it was a good match, and everyone knew that Barcelona deserved to win against Real Madrid. They couldn't do anything against them, and sometimes you need to be reminded that you can't always win, and this is the worst Barcelona has done to Madrid. No one expected things to turn out this way, but it's good that things have to change.

Barcelona had complete control over the game, and I had never seen Madrid in such a state before. I was even shocked that they were put in that position because they were humiliated, and I think it's always a very bad idea to put them in a state of confusion because they had no idea what they were doing. Some athletes were supposed to size those balloons when they were nominated.

That statement is valid for a player who managed to make his team win, if the result is not winning too then I'm sure the statement is not so. But about Real Madrid's defeat at home, as far as I remember this kind of result is not a new result because after all, in the Xavi era Barcelona also managed to beat Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu and also with a score of 0-4 in 2022. Despite the fact, at that time too, that Real Madrid's situation  could be said to be better than Barcelona.

Thus, I personally do not consider it as something new, because from season to season El Clasico matches can indeed have quite surprising results. At the very least, both Real Madrid and  Barcelona have certainly lost at home in el clasico, but even if they win in the el clasico matches it still doesn't  guarantee them the trophy.

I was shocked when Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 4-0 without scoring a single goal on the pitch. Flick is doing admirably for Barcelona, and if he continues to do so, I am confident that they will win the league and possibly the Champions League this season. Real Madrid is the best club and can challenge Barcelona in the second leg. However, Barcelona may defeat Madrid at home and Madrid may also defeat them in the second leg at Camp Nou. It remains to be seen how the competition ends. Real Madrid still has the opportunity to top the league because is only with six point Barcelona are leading them in the table.

Barcelona currently leads Madrid in the league table, but Madrid is expected to come back with high motivation to defeat Valencia and continue chasing Barcelona in the league. However, Barcelona may not be able to defeat all clubs in the league this season, as Athletico Madrid is in better shape and may have the advantage of defeating Barcelona this time, in history Barcelona always have the opportunity of defeating Athletico Madrid when they join let see what will happen this season, because they buy some key player in the team and they will do anything possible to break the record and win the match when they face each other this time.

Barcelona players are very confident this season. We have been getting good performances from Barcelona players since the beginning of the season. Especially the attacking three players Lewandowski, Raphinha and Yamal are in excellent form at the moment. Also, after defeating a strong team like Bayern Munich by a big margin of 4-1, the confidence of the Barcelona players naturally increased. So in the match against Real Madrid, Barcelona played for the purpose of winning.

Every Barcelona player tried to give the best performance from his position against Madrid. Barcelona goalkeeper Inaki Pena's performance was also very good. This is why Barcelona won by a big margin against Madrid.

Barcelona performed really well in the El Clasico match against Real Madrid. I never thought Barcelona would win this match. I always put Real Madrid ahead considering their strong team current performance plus their home ground. But none of these things could make Real Madrid win against Barcelona. Real Madrid, however, did not lose against Barcelona by one or two goals, but by a huge margin of 4-0. The next El Clasico match will be held at Barcelona's home ground and there will be a chance for Real Madrid to take revenge and Real Madrid will surely win there. However, Real Madrid may not be able to beat Barcelona by a big margin like they did in the first El Clasico match of the season.

He needs to work more if he wants to become like Messi. I see him to be looking up to Messi as his role model and for him to achieve that, he needs to put in more hard work and sacrifice for the team. He is doing just greatly well and congratulations to him him for winning the Kopa trophy, because in my opinion he really deserves it and should continue on that path because that’s what will make him better in the field. Under Hansi Flick, he should do well because within the short time of Hansi Flick managing the club, he has improved greatly and will continue to work on that consistency for his future career. He is a 17 years old wonder boy and I wish him the best in his career, he has started really well, he should continue to making himself better in the team.

I don't blame only Mbappe because of the loss in the El Clasico game. Real Madrid showed a very bad performance as a team. As Mbappe was caught offside so many times he got the attention of the fans on himself. I'm just saying that it isn't fair to question Mbappe's quality just because he played badly in one game.

Xavi is adept at seeing the potential of players, including from the La Masia Academy. He brought in several players from the academy and also several other players, unfortunately the only one who shone was Lamine Yamal last season. When the coach was changed, Flick saw that Barca's squad was quite unique even though it took hard work to build it. Flick only brought in Olmo, the rest were young people who we often see in several Barcelona matches. Not only did he make Barcelona's young players appear quite impressive, Lewandowski returned to being sharp under his guidance. And we rarely mention from Barcelona's players this season, Inigo Martinez's performance has increased drastically. We can even see it during the El Clasico match, he really became a tough defender and gave one assist to Raphinha. As for Yamal, be prepared if he will be targeted by the opposing team's defenders. If Yamal often controls the ball for too long, then the opposing defenders will not hesitate to tackle him. I'm sure Flick is aware of that, he will not let one of his assets get injured. Well, it is his job to organize and make the Barcelona squad more stable under his guidance. Moreover, Yamal is still very young, his potential can develop much better.

I know that Real Madrid is the most successful club in La Liga, but will playing as a substitute sharpen the player's skills, it would be good for Arda Guler to find a club that can play him so that his skills are not lost, we know that Real Madrid's forwards are so many but the competition in the front line is very difficult for Arda Guler to compete there, but if Barcelona has the money it is not impossible that it can be done to bring him to Barcelona, ​​I think if Arda Guler plays in Barcelona he will be much more appreciated than at Real Madrid only playing 7 times his appearance at Real Madrid and has not scored a goal at all while wearing the Real Madrid uniform and added only as a substitute, I think that's the same as burying a talented player in the warehouse.

Generally, Barcelona came more prepared and had high tempo after beating Bayern Munich, they built up same energy that they'll also trash Real Madrid. Look at the goals still four. Yamal's statements on 'confidence' before the match against real Madrid, showed how Barca never thought of losing to Madrid. Probably the Blaugranas arrived Santiago Bernabau to pressurize Real Madrid.

The season is still very far for us to conclude that no team will overcome Barcelona this season, no doubt they are in good form right now and they are a big threat to any team they face right now but no one knows what will become of the team tomorrow if they will encounter injuries or they will drop form as the league is still very open. The Barcelona coach Flick has done a good job with the Barcelona team and how he is able to achieve the new pattern for Barcelona is wonderful but then I think Real Madrid is still a good rival ready to challenge them this season for the trophy no matter the gap in the league table right now, Barcelona coach needs to keep getting the best of results as his players are in good shape and the likes of Lewandoski, Raphinha and L. Yamal are in the best of form now and can help the team to achieve the league trophy if they are well monitored.
