Don't underestimate Villarreal because maybe they are more motivated in this match, because in La Liga they don't really have a significant difference. Because if you look at the standings, Villareal is right below Real Sociedad with only 1 point difference. Actually I see this match will be tight and Villareal become a real threat to Real Socieddad.

Hahahaha...... Is this not the same thought I had? That Xavi's pattern is archaic and it's based on the olden rules of the game. Xavi had retired from the pitch before the Reformation. I'm not saying that it means the new Reformation can't be learnt but there's this difference between an officially tutored pianist and a self-taught,  yeah.
It's heroic to have someone like him to coach Barcelona but at the same time , Barcelona ain't looking for a hero because football isn't a one-man game and that's what a hero does. All they need is an optimistic calculation on formation basis then, a couple more good defenders that have extended experience. All the same , it boils down to money which the team is lacking.

I never understood why you have to care about one and not the other. I mean it is obvious that you could technically play your best in all of them can't you? Doesn't mean that you should, there is always a leeway and understanding for clubs to be as high as they can in UCL and win the league, that's fine and you should be aiming at.

But, to say that you either win the league and not even go out of the group stages in UCL is not acceptable, you can't just accept that as a normal thing. Go ahead and win the title, and lose in quarter finals of UCL and nobody will say a thing, but if you lose both the league and also end up not being out of the group stages, why did they even spend all that money then?

sociedad will face villareal in the follow-up match later and sociedad will be the host. currently they are 7th in the standings with 13 points, sociedad must win. in the european league, currently sociedad lead group E without losing, and they are facing the sheriff, I'm sure with their good record, this match will not be too difficult to sociedad.

Both Barcelona and Real Madrid have been playing very well this season, with Barcelona spending a lot of money to strengthen their squad. And they have been able to continue their phenomenal performance in this desert league. But Real Madrid is not underperforming. Barcelona and Madrid are now level on points. However, Real Madrid's biggest weakness this season is that their key player Benzema is out of form. However, Real Madrid managed to continue their consistent performance. The Real Madrid team will be stronger if Benzema returns to form. The battle for the title will become more intense this season.

This season is way harder than the previous one since Barcelona is on top form comparing to the previous seasons. They won't let Real Madrid get a gap this time and I believe the winner of the title will be decided by the last 1-2 games.
For Real Madrid, they need Benzema, missing a penalty could happen to everyone but the essential part is to get in form rapidly after the injury. This is important for his club and his national team.

You doubt Barcelona because you saw them narrowly lost in the Champions League? Don't be kidding guys, losing there was surprising, but the opponent they were about to face now was way below them. Celta Vigo cannot be compared to Inter Milan, after all this must be used as a momentum for their revival. El Clasico is still quite long, so Barcelona should not think about that first. They will definitely focus on their closest match.

The next match Barcelona will play against Celta Vigo but for some reason I began to doubt Barcelona's performance at this moment, it looks like Xavi does not have a mature plan in doing rotations and the right strategy. Because previously they only won narrowly when they played against Mallorca which I thought Xavi was doing a rotation to prepare to play in the Champions League, but in fact Barcelona lost in the Champions League. With this pressure before they play in El Clascio it looks like Celta Vigo will take advantage of this situation to hold Barcelona, a draw can still happen in this match because Barcelona seems difficult to get out of pressure.

There's no reason to say that Real Madrid have dropped a bit this season in form, the fact that they have yet to accept defeat in La Liga or in the Champions League. Benzema's missed penalty did affect the final result in that match, but everything will be fine going forward. For some reason, when I saw Real Madrid play, the confidence in them was so high, even when they were behind I still believed that they would be able to make a comeback. I guess it's thanks to their mentality that they're so tall that there's no worry about that.

Well, we can't forget that Sevilla is a great team and so is Villareal. For me, Villareal, like many good teams, is going through a bad time, in the case of Bayern. Until Manchester, for now we are starting the League and the UCL, these luxuries of losing, drawing are still feasible, but I think that both Sevilla and Villareal it is time for them to start winning, you also talk about Atletico de Madrid and yes, I think that Cholo Simeone has not known how to handle the times and has caused a lot of discontent and the players on the field do not understand each other, so this is something that makes them lose and lose, it is not very positive, but they always have or look for a way to get out of everything.



Yes, it is difficult to maintain a high level in both competitions, but there is something in favor of Real Madrid, that they know how to handle this type of pressure, for them the UCL is very important, the League is also important, against Osasuna it was an unexpected result , but I think they are not far from getting first place over time, the league can give many surprises, in fact it is giving them, we are used to seeing the great teams at the top of a list, but we must also give credit to teams like Osasuna that may be raising their level in everything, Barcelona is strange, because of how they have the squad they should be first in the League and UCL respectively, I don't see that there are excuses.


You are right, Real Madrid for January 2023 will have the best players in the world that will show up in QATAR and for sure it will be a great team, obviously for now Benzema is contributing a lot to the team, I heard that they will not take Benzema to the World Cup, which which seems very bad to me, I hope that decision is retracted, on the other hand Xavi has shown that with very little money he manages to make great contracts, I don't know how he does it, but he does it and surely they will also make good players, there is no To deny that in the world Barcelona has many followers and fans and many players will show up at the World Cup so that they can be recruited by these great teams.

Getafe CF prepare to welcome the 'new stars' of the LaLiga Experience

Agreed, The problem is sometime the small time can give the big team a tough game for sure. Benzema is not performing so well and i know it. It must not a problem for real madrid. The season is still long. There are lots of thing will happen anytime. I just wanna try to know the fact that if real mdrid can lead the la liga anytime. Im not feeling worry about that.

Losing several important players due to the FIFA virus is very detrimental to Barcelona, the most prominent in defense, Barcelona must lose two strong defenders Araujo and Kounde. Injuries to two mainstay defenders can affect Barcelona back line, as evidenced when Barcelona lost to Inter in the UCL group stage. Barcelona are in a difficult position due to several injured players, Xavi must take advantage of existing players to face his eternal rival.

It is actually a very hard decision for Barcelona. It seems to me that they are having trouble deciding which one to give more importance to, which is why they cannot make up their minds. They will have to give equal importance to both La Liga and also the Champions League. We know that Barcelona has been giving a lot of importance to La Liga. That's why they are at the top of the table in La Liga. But the problem is that as a result, they were not able to give enough importance to the Champions League. And we all know that the Champions League actually deserves more attention and importance.

But another thing could have happened. The reason for this could be Barcelona has realized that the Champions League might actually be out of reach. That's why they are giving all their attention to La Liga and trying to win it.

Vinicius and Rodrygo seem to be playing well. both played aggressively on the flanks to provide support for Benzema. This combination of 3 players has been quite successful in Madrid so far.

Madrid's next game will be against Getafe, I think it will be 3 points for Madrid. Madrid currently only loses goal productivity from Barcelona. Madrid also conceded quite a lot. compared to Barca who has conceded just 1 time.

I think these two teams can leave the other team. La Liga trophy fight will probably only belong to Barca and Madrid.

Usually, bookmakers give odds of about 1.2 when playing a super clear favorite against a weak team. This means that in 80% of cases the favorite will win. As we can see Real Madrid playing on average with much stronger teams (odds in many games were much more than 1.2) achieves a better result than 80%. So everything is going well.
As for Barcelona, everything is not so rosy here - two games against strong teams and two defeats.

Karim Benzema loss great opportunity after failure take penalty kick and made Real Madrid losing two points against with Osasuna and drop to second position place after have the same points with Barcelona right now. After recovery from injury, Karim Benzema still not on the top performance with Real Madrid not only after draw with Osasuna but also Karim Benzema still can't scoring goals when Real Madrid won at Champion League from Shakhtar Donetsk. Drop second place I don't think problem for Real Madrid because still left many games in La Liga and actually have chance on next two weeks later with el clasico match.

Actually with playing home at first el clasico match in this season become bigger opportunity for Real Madrid get back first standing position from Barcelona, however Barcelona have focus on Champion League match after losing many points and have little chance can pass to knock out group stage after losing from Inter Milan last match.

I consider a draw when they met Osasuna because they were unlucky in that match. And now it's proven that they can win again in the Champions League. Their 2-1 win in the Champions League could have scored more goals than that. Let's look at their stats with 36 shots and 14 of them on target. It was a statistic that should have been more than 2 goals.
Despite all that, their young players continue to make a big contribution in every game. Vinicius Jr consistently delivers something extraordinary for Real Madrid, besides Vini there is also Rodrygo who is increasing.

Now they just have to focus on the games to come.
There is still Getafe on Sunday that they have to fight and of course this can be used as a warm-up and must bring full points before El Clasico.
Barcelona are also in a slightly difficult position as some of their absent players have proven to hinder them in their last two matches in La Liga and UCL because even though they won in La Liga they also only scored 1 goal and had to lose in the Champions League.
It is not impossible that this can be used by Madrid and Benzema can certainly restore his performance as before.

The draw against Osasuna did not make Real Madrid weak, as well as Karim Benzema's failure to execute a penalty kick.
Even though Madrid failed to continue its positive trend by winning every game, it doesn't mean that Barcelona will automatically win the title this season.

as we know, the La Liga fixture schedule still leaves a lot of games for all clubs. there will be many possibilities that will happen in the future, but for sure these two rivals will continue to compete with only a narrow point difference. both Barcelona and Real Madrid have a big chance in the race for the league title. and I think this is the most interesting part.

Failure to execute a penalty resulted in Real Madrid dropping two points and Real Madrid also failed to take over the top of the standings from Barcelona. Benzema is very sorry for his failure to give victory to Real Madrid, but Benzema failure to execute a penalty has been done by other players before.
Real Madrid have a long way to go in La Liga, Real Madrid are still capable of getting another win to get what they want this season. Real Madrid has the same points as Barcelona, Real Madrid's chance to shift Barcelona at the top of the standings is still wide open, Real Madrid can do it in El Clasico as well as make the distance between the two. Although it is a bit difficult to beat Barcelona this season, Real Madrid will try to do by showing their best form of play.
