Finally Real Madrid was able to prove to Barcelona that they are the best team in La Liga this season. Three goals scored by Madrid players made Barcelona and Xavi feel ashamed of the final result of El Clasico this time, Real Madrid also managed to avenge them for last season's 4-0 defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid appearance this time was also beyond expectations, they managed to thwart almost all attacks built by Barcelona players, Real Madrid defense also played very neatly. Real Madrid deserved this victory for the impressive performance they played, now Real Madrid is the leader of the La Liga standings with a difference of three points from Barcelona who are in second place.
I don't think Real Madrid prove to be the best team in La Liga just by their victory against Barcelona yesterday, I don't think any club scores as many as 3 goals just by a fluke or based on luck, so indeed they had duly deserved their victory, but Barcelona can also be said to have played somewhat well imo, but what matters in the end is the result, and that was in Real Madrid's favor, but it's still early into the season, there is still everything to play for.
I really wish Xavi would consider dropping Busquests, like he's done with Pique and Alba, I'd love to see a Gavi, Pedri and Frenkie De Jong or Kessie.
Xavi could well with Pedri and Kessie in LM and RM respectively, then play a double pivot with Gavi and Kessie, with a back line of Kounde, Araujo and perhaps Christensen or Eric Garcia, Busquests as the DM have the them very expose and vulnerable, which also affect the players build up front, regardless that the goals haven't been coming for Barcelona, I'm still very please with our attacking players and what they each have to offer.
