Barcelona's performance yesterday was top notch and the volley always have me thinking -- mann, pedri's goal was fly AF!
That point when lamine was a bit hesitant to release the ball, since he wasn't on the most favourable positions to shoot,the suspense was everything! prolific goals against Sevilla - a day to reckon!
I'm not gonna look down on Barcelona because they played one time against B.munich and conceived 8 goals....

[/quote]Dortmund's performances have been somewhat erratic, but the team is currently at the top of the Champions League table.
[/quote] I mean, they always have a way to get to the top positions, even in their league games as well.

The league is still in early phase but it is not difficult to see that this year too is going to be real Madrid vs the Barcelona till the end. Last year the gap was more prominent and Barcelona never exactly caught with real Madrid. There was third option called girona. This year it seems to be full league long competition between the two top teams. With equal matches played Barcelona is three points ahead of Real Madrid and they also have better goal difference. Real Madrid is back in form as a team and is highly unlikely to loose points.
Upcoming El classico would be determintal in finding which of them is the better team.

Not only for Barcelona because in the end Madrid also feels the same when talking about the burden, even I think for now when talking about the readiness and stability of players, Barcelona is still very advantaged compared to Madrid at this time.

Their young squad still looks solid to date and some players who have been resting for a long time such as Gavi and Ansu have also been able to play so that their rotation is certainly much better than Madrid who even have to return to Tchouameni for the position of center back just like the previous season because some players are still unable to be forced.

Now they are faced with the same position where the schedule is quite tight, the opponent is very heavy before El Clasico and some core players cannot be forced to play so at this time the touch of the coach is what really contributes now. It depends on how the coach plans and how they ignite the spirit of the current youngsters to make the performance before El Clasico not decline.

The journey of Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champions League can perhaps be used as a reference to see the strength of both teams, before they face each other in the El Clasico match. We realize that Barcelona is getting better at this time, Real Madrid with a better squad depth has not yet performed completely stably. The defensive crisis experienced by Ancelotti squad certainly increases the concerns of fans, and it is very possible that Barcelona will take advantage of this weakness to take advantage.
On paper, Real Madrid is indeed more trustworthy, but with Barcelona current consistency, it is difficult for all bettors to predict the final result of the match. Actually, this is a period that tests their respective strengths, and there are many things at stake in the two matches they will play, both in the Champions League and in La Liga.

Honestly Real Madrid performance look very unserious this season compare to their last season performances, they even try for La Lia since there able to manage the second place in table than the way their making poorly performing in champions league; can you imagine Real Madrid that leading the champions league last season, but they have been left behind this season.

This season Barcelona have great performances that any team that wanted to meet with them most be very strong to attack them well, not they will very hard for them to win then: but since the gap points between Barcelona and Real Madrid is just three points let see what they can able to do in their up coming either they might able to chances the Barcelona from the top of the standing.

If you’ve been observing the performance of Real Madrid, it is very clear that they’ve not been themselves this season but are still striving to make the best out of every match they play and that’s why they’re still maintaining their position and also points gap in the standings between them and Barcelona. Real Madrid may not be in that good form that we can say they’re the better team to win the match, but their way with confidence in anything they do is what will give them an equal chance and be in a good position as Barcelona is in now. The El Classico will still give us that tough game we have always expected of them. So the individual team’s performance may not matter a lot in this match as it has always promised to be intriguing.


I don’t know why the bookmakers are still favouring Real Madrid in this game, could it be that they can see things more clearly than what we are just seeing from the team, I doubt so much about that. Barcelona are goal machine this season and that can be seen from the number of goals they’ve scored this season so far. Real Madrid defense is poor actually and if Barcelona should mount them at any chance they get at goal, they may not be able to resist all and would definitely allow some of them to go into the net. The match is still very uncertain until we see what each team has to offer in this match.

Yea, no doubt Real Madrid have some weaknesses most especially in their defense, but that still doesn’t means we should lose hope on them, we all know how Real Madrid take El Classico since from the beginning, which they will be a possibility for them to win Barcelona in the game, I can still say that Real Madrid can have 2 goals in the game, because even with their weaknesses they are never underestimated when it home to game that they take serious, and this is a serious game that mean a lot for Real Madrid. I can beat my chest and say the game will either be a win for Real Madrid or a draw.

Barcelona is very capable of winning Madrid this time, we have witness their good performance following the already played matches while Madrid are just having lucky wins in most games. This El Clasico won't be as interesting as before, the gap between these two teams in their best performance is very wide with Barcelona over the head with stronger chances to secure the win.

My only worry is seeing that Madrid are playing home, it has been this way to always favor Madrid during home games, this deed is mostly done by the officials. If i am to produce a winner, then Barcelona are having my bet already.

Bookmakers still consider Real as clear favourites  
But I have to admit that the state of Real Madrid's defense scares me, and the number of goals that Barcelona have scored in La Liga is impressive, no club in the top leagues is even close in this indicator, Bayern have scored only 24 goals and Barcelona 33.
But against this background, Real's odds seem very profitable to make a cash bet.

The goal party when hosting Sevilla showed how sharp Barcelona's front line is, on the other hand, Real Madrid also managed to win over Celta Vigo, both teams also conceded one goal ahead of El Clasico. Barcelona appears more solid and the quality of their game has increased since being coached by Hansi Flick, all lines are well coordinated and the good news is that several core players who were injured have returned to the squad. Real Madrid are actually under a bit of pressure even though this match is played at Santiago Bernabeu, their defense is in trouble due to several key players being injured. It is very difficult to withstand Barcelona increasingly sharp attacks with the team's stability being a bit shaky.

Real Madrid's sub-optimal performance is inseparable from several core players who are injured so that the combination when attacking and defending does not work well. But even so, this is a fairly satisfying result because forcing more aggressive play will have a huge impact, where the potential for fatigue for the players and they also have to face Dortmund in the Champions League this week.

There is still a long way to the end of the competition and the points difference from Barcelona can be caught up slowly. I'm not too worried about the current points difference and I'm also sure Ancelotti can overcome this problem once the core players are really available.

If you look at the last few matches, Real Madrid has a big difference from the performance of Barcelona, Barcelona is much more balanced and very good at playing while Real Madrid is not like that, they are a little disorganized in their attacks, like they don't know who to aim for, but even so I will still believe in Real Madrid because El Clasico always has a dimensional space on the field, the tension of saving pride will risk the power that is there to fight on the field.

This season, Real Madrid must be suffering from a lot of disappointment especially due to the injury of some of their players, the team has been weakened even more. If there are no good midfielders currently available to protect the attack, then this is of course a huge problem for Madrid, relying solely on Modric will never lead the team forward. If Real Madrid face Barcelona in their next match according to the current line-up, this will surely lead to their loss. If you bet on this match, you must be in a lot of dilemmas, because this match is going to be very interesting, and it will not be possible to say who will win it. But if Real Madrid can attack well against Barcelona as the host team, they will have a chance to win, but the game will be much more exciting.

El Clasico will be a crucial match for both teams because it talks about a long-standing rivalry. Both teams are having problems because some players are injured so it is difficult to predict who will win the match. If you look at some of the previous match results, Barcelona is slightly more favored because they are much more consistent. But Real Madrid also cannot be underestimated because a crucial match like this will definitely play much better. I think a draw might be much bigger because both teams will definitely play more carefully.

Before the game I said Barca would win comfortably, they finished the job in the first half. If they played a little more seriously they could have scored 7-8 goals, it was one of the most comfortable games they have played. Sevilla are in a really bad situation this season, they don't have the strength to deal with the big teams. Barca, on the other hand, have become a very good team. They have become a complete team with their youth players mixed with experienced players and they are the biggest favorites for the championship.
Gavi is back after months. The whole stadium gave him a standing ovation. The players coming out of La Masia have been Barca's biggest strength for years. This season, too, young players of great quality are finding a place in the squad and Barca are playing a very good game without having to make big transfers.

El Clasico will actually make Real Madrid feel burdened. You should be able to compare this very clearly in terms of balance, sharpness of attack, solid defense then for now Barcelona has it all. So my two cents, Barcelona is very favored, very advantaged and also has the opportunity to win 3 points over Real Madrid who overall are not so stable. The attack line still does not guarantee sharpness every time they appear, playing to win with a narrow score continuously. The back line is not playing well, Courtois seems to be starting to get restless if he doesn't have a strong defender in front of him.

You’ve just hailed Barcelona for their great performance in the league and you’re also saying that they will taste their first defeat after a long time from Real Madrid when they meet in the El Classico. It is very obvious that Real Madrid are not in that great form as Barcelona this season but there’s no certainty that they will also be an easy win for Barcelona when they face Real Madrid. Real Madrid are not that poor and also won their match yesterday to put them in the race closer to Barcelona. It’s going to be a very tough match and I think both teams will not take the match very cool on each other.

They both need a very big win in that match to secure their positions better in the race for the league title. El Classico is a very tough match anytime it is played even though it doesn’t have that much competition like it always be before now, I still feel we will enjoy watching this two top teams play against each other by weekend. Barcelona and Real Madrid will continue the fight for the La Liga title till the end of the season. The league will fall between the two of them but will depend on the team that can continue the fight with victories after victory in their matches.

Barcelona retains their top spot in the La Liga table after thrashing Sevilla 5:1 yesterday. Their performance this season is significantly improved from last season. Barcelona has come out strong in La Liga, with Lewandowski consistently scoring goals. Although he narrowly missed a hat trick against Sevilla, he scoring prowess is thrilling to watch.

Given Barcelona's impressive form, they have a strong chance of lifting the trophy this season.

Lewandowski is on fire this season compared to last season, and maybe that was why Xavi thought that old age was affecting his performance, because he was unable to score many goals as he did in his first season with Barcelona. This season looks different for him, as he continue scoring goals in any match that he plays in Laliga. The highest goal scorer race will be between Lewandowski and Mbappe this season because they are rivals currently. It was an easy win for Barcelona yesterday against Sevilla, and that maintained the point gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid. I think El Clasico is where one of these clubs will drop point.

Yes, this season Sevilla's performance is quite bad, especially in their defense. Maybe if, for example, Ramos was still at Sevilla, I think Sevilla's defense would be better. But unfortunately Ramos has left Sevilla. Apart from that, it cannot be denied that Barcelona's performance this season has been extraordinary. The proof is that Barcelona has always been able to score goals in most of its matches this season. So this season could be said to be Barcelona's revival season, because in the previous season Barcelona seemed to have a little difficulty in scoring as many goals as they are currently. Therefore, it could be said that Hansi Flick's role as Barcelona coach has really brought about very significant changes to Barcelona. Because when coached by Xavi in ​​the previous season Barcelona's performance looked mediocre. But after Hansi Flick took over the coaching chair, Barcelona became the greatest team in Laliga again. In essence, Hansi Flick is a coach who can really make the potential of Barcelona players work optimally. Because as we know, this season Lewandowski has really become a very sharp striker. So in essence the remarks made by Xavi were completely wrong about Lewandowski. So hopefully Barcelona can continue to be as great as it is now, because I personally really enjoy the competition in Laliga, if for example Barcelona can continue to put out great performances. So not only Real Madrid played well, but Barcelona as their rival also played well. So this creates a very exciting competitive tension. And yes, currently the Laliga standings are still topped by Barcelona and followed by Real Madrid in 2nd place.
