After 8 rounds, Barcelona are leading La Liga teams in the first place followed by Real Madrid. Interestingly in October, there will be a game between Barcelona and Real Madrid which is the best chance for every team to catch and advance.
What's a bit funny is that game will come after Barcelona's match against Bayern Munich in Champions League Roll Eyes

Meetings between Barcelona and Bayern very rarely end in anything other than a terrible way for Barcelona. It will be interesting to see if Bayern can continue the tradition this year. But no matter how this game ends in the Clasico, the formal advantage will be on Barcelona's side, as Real only needs a win, while Barcelona will be happy even with a draw to maintain their 3-point advantage.

Hmm, well Barcelona's upcoming fixtures will be quite hard. But looking at their current morals, they are absolutely dominating their class. Hansi flick have made it so well that they all emphasize the UCL fixture. If Hansi Flick's tact tactics are seen, then the biggest weakness of Barcelona that Barcelona often did in UCL is lack of confidence, so Hansi Flick built that first. Anyway, we will see what happens in the match, whether Bayern Munich really brings back its traditions or admits defeat. Before the UCL fixture Bayern Munich, there is another match that is from La Liga, and that is Selivia. Barcelona will try to bow down Seville to maintain the point and after that is El Clasico and in my opinion one of tge most important matches of the league, i.e., the race to the title. Real Madrid will try hard to win despite Barcelona's willingness to gladly accept a draw.

I dare say no about Mbappe who will imitate Ronaldo in his achievements, it is a difficult thing for Mbappe, judging by how Mbappe has played and competed so far it is very far from how Ronaldo was at the same age as Mbappe at this time, regarding the Ballon Do'r it is possible that he has the opportunity to get it, because yes almost several star players are able to get the trophy, but keep in mind that if you think it will be the same as Ronaldo I say no, just like Messi will not be like him.

I agree with you and we say this is based on what we see from some of the matches with Real Madrid obviously it can't be compared with Ronaldo, but yeah Mbappe has the opportunity to reach any record if he can increase what he has. Talking about the ability of course Mbappe has it but his creativity has not reached the same level, maybe he needs the right partner to make it happen. like Messi who can achieve anything when he has the right partner but when he moved to another club he could not do much.

Yeah, 2 consecutive close matches for Barcelona is a high tension match. In fact, this club has also experienced very bitter results with both opposing clubs.

especially for the opponents: Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Look at the match schedule, so tight and high tension:

Maybe the result of the first match will greatly affect the second match. Hansi Flick must make his players play more calmly and consistently as well as usual. Both are top clubs, we cannot still predict who will win.

Barcelona and Bayern Munich game is not in La Liga, and it will not affect them in La Liga. The only game that is capable of affecting Barcelona or increasing the chances of them maintain there position in La Liga is the game that they will play against Sevilla. The game willl be able to determine that, even though I know that Barcelona has the highest chance of winning the gam, but still that game will be able to get them more 6 points and with that they will be able to maintain there position even if they lost against Real Madrid. But that for mean they will get 6 points in Sevilla Grin

Yeah playing against sevilla is their main priority at the moment though Bayern game is also a top priority for them but that won't be in Laliga , if they win Sevilla in their next game then they will be maintaining their point towards realmadrid game . The elclassico match also matters but they only need draw to stay ahead of rsealmadrid and maintain their point as the first position on the table, I think after the Elclassico, Barcelona game will highly be more of winning if they don't relax in any game both in laliga and UCL unlike RM who's wil be facing Liverpool in UCL after facing Borussia Dortmund before the Elclassico... though laliga shouldn't be more of a problem for them too if they tend to improve their game.

But this game is special for so many reasons. Rest assured that Lewandowski will try everything to make this game end in Barcelona's favor and I think it's also a clash between the youngsters like Musiala and Yamal. Both players are in great shape and they are brave and want to push the game into their favor. I don't see a dominant victory for Bayern coming. I am not even sure whether Bayern will dominate in regards to ball possession like they usually do. The defense has shown some weaknesses and this could go another way this time.

If Barcelona gets a can opener done not too late in the game, damn I want to see how Bayern is going t counter that.

But it's going to be interesting weeks for Barcelona as El Claisco isn't too far away either. it could be two great weeks or two disappointing weeks for them.

I wish all Real Madrid fans can understand this so that they can reduce the too much hype on Mbappe, and to also reduce their expectations on him because he is not Ronaldo and it will take him some time to adapt to the whole thing in the team so as to expect the best from him.
The left wing in Madrid is very competitive, Vini Jr played that wing and he is one of the best left wingers in the world, it will not be easy for Mbappe to take over his place that is why Ancelotti decided to be playing Mbappe as a striker which has been a very hard task for him because it is not his natural position.

Barcelona under Hensi Flick is doing great, they outshine Real Madrid this season with their amazing performances, the young boys were very promising, and they are playing to win the Laliga as well even though it is too early and experience matters a lot in the run. Injury is the main problem Madrid is facing right now, and if it continue, there will be problem along the line because there is no squad depth.

In fact, Real Madrid and Barcelona have the same problem in terms of injuries, Ancelotti and Hansi Flick have not been able to field their best squad from the start of the season. Regarding Mbappe, I think it's just a matter of time, and it must be admitted that it is not easy to play in a different position from the main position. In his last season at PSG, Luis Enrique often played Mbappe as a center forward, it was proven that the player was able to complete his duties well. Mbappe only needs a little time to explore the role while adapting to the team, sooner or later he will be sharp again as usual. Barcelona should not be arrogant at this time, they must remain vigilant in every match, because they are only 3 points behind Real Madrid. Hansi Flick managed to boost Barcelona's performance quickly, he did his job well even though he did not have a good squad like Real Madrid. Real Madrid's unstable performance should be an advantage for Barcelona to continue to lead the standings.

I finally see someone who speak what Real Madrid fans need to read. Mbape can't be Ronaldo, and perhaps there will never be another Mbape in PSG or perhaps not anytime soon. Will Mbape ever be like Ronaldo, the way he is playing this season, I'm not sure but maybe in the future if he changes and do some improvements. There is too much competition in that club right now and there is no way it will be easy for him to be there yet as long as others are fighting for the same thing.

Will Mbappe be another Ronaldo, No he wouldn’t be another Ronaldo as I don’t see anyone been such a person just like I view there wouldn’t be a player that can match Messi’s legacy in Barcelona. But will Mbappe be a great player for Real Madrid, I can say with the start he is had, yes I see him doing great things at Real Madrid from winning trophies to accumulating individual awards up to the prestigious one which is the ballon D’Or. I am amazed though as people think he hasn’t started well, no player can just come to a team as huge as Real Madrid, been played out of position and do anything other than he is doing right now. Mbappe has five league goals the most of any player in Real Madrid squad currently so he is doing good to me, a little more time we would see him in his latter state

Well, it is very incongruous to compare the players of different generations, because any player has his path, his play, his records. But Mbappe for sure has unbelievable potential and is actually among the brightest rookies in the present world soccer. Even if the youngster does not turn into Ronaldo Mk. II, Mbappe can chart out his own path, particularly if he keeps growing and getting better and adding more titles, and other accolades such as the Ballon d’Or.

Playing for Real Madrid has been one of the highlights and yes there is a lot expect out of Martinez now but it must be remembered that a lot of players take time to come to terms with pressure and change of a big club. Looking at his stats and contribution so far one can be confident that Mbappe has started well. An extra year as you pointed out he will achieve even better results in real Madrid and change the course of the club. His legacy will be built inside the club as the role and his contribution that he brought to that club, which might not be similar to what Ronaldo have done but it will be a great one.

Funny how we want to make comparisons too often amongst this players but we forget that in as much as there are records that are always kept that are usually kept over the years and we see that when a player gets a performance that supersedes such it feels like they broke a record but for me i look at it in a very different perspective and that is in the fact that these players aren't in same era as they play with almost varying play condition which i believe affects their performance and the kind of record they set over the years so its always different but if they are able to break a historic football record, its applaudable but doesn't make them any equal or better than the former as they aren't in same era neither are they playing with same playin conditions.

But it is undeniable that this plan slightly makes the situation the same as last season when the players could not be in the squad due to some problems such as injuries so this indirectly makes conditions on each line have a gap.
We know the main problem in Madrid is actually not their performance on the field but indeed the problem of the hurricane of injuries that always comes in every season and Ancelotti still tries to force it with the existing squad even though if we reflect on each season it is actually quite vulnerable to players due to injuries, especially in defense.

Because of his experience and ability to formulate the best strategy for the team, Ancelotti is always confident in his squad. Player injuries can certainly make it difficult for him to make quick choices in the main line-up, but Ancelotti doesn't seem to be complaining about that. Real Madrid has several young talents that can be utilized, Barcelona has implemented this over the last few seasons instead of always bringing in expensive new players.

Basically all players have a risk of injury every season, it's just that some players are lower because their fitness is not good. Players who are over 30 years old tend to get injured more easily than younger players, but of course this is not something that is certain. Real Madrid can bring in some players if they need them, but for the time being they are still quite capable of doing everything well.

Indeed, in this case we do not need to doubt Ancelotti because seeing from his achievements that he has in terms of trophies and experience it has proven that he is one of the good decisions and believes in players of course it is also a good effort from Ancelotti but in the end some decisions about this trust clearly pose a little risk even though it cannot be denied that he can always provide solutions in each season.

The players in Madrid are actually not constrained by age problems when they are injured but seeing what happens, I highlight it because of the very busy schedule that is owned even though we know that it is a risk for a big club but in the end of course there must be an effort to provide a solution in this case and I think increasing the player's power is an important thing to do because after all the problem of rotation in the conditions of their schedule which is quite busy because they participate in several competitions that are very important can be overcome with a good rotation backup so that the players are not too compressed and not exhausted every week because the risk of injury can also occur due to fatigue.

But if you really want to be bolder, I don't think it's wrong when applying a 4-3-3 scheme but the position is slightly changed where Mbappe is moved to his ideal position and Vini is placed more as a targetman if you really want to try variations because after all, by looking at the current conditions, although Mbappe and Vini's performance is still quite good, there is a little less than Mbappe when he is a targetman because he is a striker who is a runner type on the side of the field.

This does not mean that this replaces the whole but this only slightly changes the scheme so I think if it is possible this is still very doable for Ancelotti but until now even though there have been several matches that did not match expectations but it seems that Ancelotti is still very satisfied with the conditions where 2 strikers or 3 strikers where Mbappe's placement is forward.

If one or two players were injured then maybe the Real Madrid management would not have worried about this matter but most of the starting eleven players are injured which is definitely a concern for any team. Real Madrid's bench XI is good enough, but if six or seven players are given a chance to make the regular XI from the bench at once, it is unlikely to do well there. Real Madrid have a much stronger squad this season than the team that won the Champions League trophy last season but luck has not helped them here so even after building such a strong squad they are now thinking about which players to play in which positions and who will be allowed to play. All this is due to the injury problems of some key players.

It is true that in the end the reserve players are also very good, it's just that the attack power and chemistry will definitely slow down a bit in this case which makes this a new transition that Ancelotti really has to think about and this is the aftermath of them not trying to improve more when bringing in new players, especially for defence and attack.

Now Carvajal, Brahim, Ceballos and Alaba are players who will certainly not recover this month and they are faced with several big matches including against Dortmund in the Champions League and Barcelona in La Liga which certainly provides a condition that will certainly be very difficult for them to face.
Ancelotti must think of how to overcome this with good results because after all these 2 matches are very important for their continuity in the movement in the standings.

It is natural that many Real Madrid fans have expectations about Kylian Mbappe's good performance in the team considering how he has done with PSG in recent seasons. Mbappe was very productive at PSG, while his performance was less scary at Real Madrid. Basically he has enough support from all the players and also his coach, it's just that La Liga teams seem to know his style of play so it's too easy for them to stop him and prevent him from scoring goals.

Stopping Mbappe and preventing him from scoring is easier than stopping Vinicius, that is an undeniable fact so far. Mbappe certainly needs to improve his performance especially in his finishing, but he has played well so far and seems to be adapting well. He needs to improve his goal productivity, but fans are expected to be patient.

Quote

Stopping Mbappe and preventing him from scoring is easier than stopping Vinicius, that is an undeniable fact so far.

Is this your general opinion about the two players or what are you referring to? This season? When?

Mbappe has scored seven goals in eleven games and Vinicius Junior has scored four goals in twelve games. Now when you are saying that you generally think it is harder to stop Vinicis Junior from scoring than Mbappe, I wonder what data you base that opinion on?

Mbappe is one of the strongest offensive opponents you can face as a defender and Vinicius Junior is very far away from the goal per game ratio that Mbappe has. I acknowledge the fact that Mbappe played in Ligue 1 while Vinicius Junior played in La Liga most of the time.

Let's take the Champions League then and there Vinicius Junior scored 21 goals in 58 games while Mbappe scored 49 goals in 75 games. I don't think you are onto something here with your opinion. The first few games for Real Madrid haven't been the best in his career, but in general I believe that Mbappe's best game is above Vinicius Junior's best game.

This looks like a comparison between both players, Vini and Mbappe are both quality players with different abilities that totally distinguish them from each other. Mbappe is good but not better than Vini right now, his abilities doesn't stand him a chance against Vinicius who has been an important figure in the club, if Mbappe was so better, he should have been benching Vini from playing the left wing which is where he played from in former league.

Not forgetting that three of Mbappe goals this season are coming from penalties shoot out, that may not still change your opinion but knowing that Vini is more of a threat on the ball facing defenders compared to Mbappe and clearly up to the level of competing with his level of nvolvement in the whole squad right now.

I think it's all about time, Mbappe is a player who has very good individual qualities but every player who has just joined a new team certainly needs time to adapt, so does Mbappe now.
And Real Madrid's declining performance this season because many of their core players are injured certainly hinders Mbappe's process to be able to adapt and contribute greatly to the team.
I agree if it is said that Mbappe must work hard especially when the situation of the Real Madrid team is not good like now, Mbappe must be able to become a player who can change the situation.

If Mbappe is able to become a player who can change the situation of the Real Madrid team which is dying like now, of course there will be a lot of praise for him because he is a new player who is in the Real Madrid squad this season. But Real Madrid fans themselves are also very understanding about the process that Mbappe must go through this season with conditions that are not good enough for him. Because any great player will also be quite overwhelmed if his teammates do not have the same quality as him.

At least, Real Madrid are still in a good position in La Liga, because being in second place I think is not a bad position at all. But indeed, if I consider about Real Madrid's luxurious squad, then Real Madrid should be able to be at the top of La Liga, but Real Madrid is still not fully successful at this moment. But even so, ofcourse Real Madrid will still be able to consistently compete with Barcelona at the top of the La Liga standings, and that will certainly happen in the race for the La Liga trophy this season.

Maybe for now comparing them is only enough in the La Liga standings, because for the Champion League standings they are in a position that is not much different and even have the same points. About Mbappe, the fact is that so far Mbappe has still managed to become Real Madrid's top scorer with 5 goals, while Vinicius has 4 goals but I am sure, as this season they will continue to increase for the better, of course.

So far, it's hard to judge. Only 8 games have passed, Real have not lost a single game and are very close to repeating Barcelona's record of 43 games without defeat. I think they can at least repeat this record, maybe even set a new one, but the most interesting thing is that the denouement may come at the El Classico, which will be on the 26th and to be honest it's very difficult to say who will win, both teams are in top condition.

Barcelona are statistically ahead, by performance they are in good shape and they play effortlessly without fear of losing any match, this is what Real Madrid isn't right now.

Real Madrid must be the one dealing with the most amount of injuries among top teams in the La Liga. They have had problems in mostly defense. Whenever Ancelotti insisted on not bringing any more defenders, they struggled with injuries. I don't understand him at this point. Okay, now there is Vazquez to fill Carvajal's place. But what about other positions? Huh

I remember a time he used Camavinga or Tchouameni in the defense line before because of missing players. I mean this wouldn't always work. I get that he likes to try new things but having natural players in that position would be much more reliable. Right?

In La Liga, both Real Madrid and Barcelona are experiencing a storm of injury. They have 8-9 players who have injury problems. Some of them need to take a rest for few months. Even worse, there are players who will take a rest until the end of the season. Because of this problem, I think it is possible that Ancelotti or Flick will sign some new players in the next transfer windows.

Ancelotti always tries new things. He is a typical of coach who wants to solve the problem with his unusual idea. Under his management, Camavinga can play as a Left-Back. Meanwhile Tchouameni can play as a Centre-Back. As far as I know, this is quite effective way, both players can play well in their new positions. Why you doubt him? Ancelotti must do it because of some considerations, I'm sure he doesn't decide it alone. Ancelotti has a team that can review the ability of each Real Madrid player.

Real Madrid must be the one dealing with the most amount of injuries among top teams in the La Liga. They have had problems in mostly defense. Whenever Ancelotti insisted on not bringing any more defenders, they struggled with injuries. I don't understand him at this point. Okay, now there is Vazquez to fill Carvajal's place. But what about other positions? Huh

I remember a time he used Camavinga or Tchouameni in the defense line before because of missing players. I mean this wouldn't always work. I get that he likes to try new things but having natural players in that position would be much more reliable. Right?

"I remember a time he used Camavinga and Tchoumeni in the defense before..." I think this statement of yours sums up the genius of Carlo Ancelotti as a football manager who knows how to utilize whatever he has at his disposal and still get a good result at the end. Real Madrid injury list this season is think is the worst in the league but that I don't think will stop them from remaining competitive in the league as well as in European competitions. They had similar problem last season and with the experience of the manager, they were able to scale through which is why I think they'll also do it again this season

It is natural that many Real Madrid fans have expectations about Kylian Mbappe's good performance in the team considering how he has done with PSG in recent seasons. Mbappe was very productive at PSG, while his performance was less scary at Real Madrid. Basically he has enough support from all the players and also his coach, it's just that La Liga teams seem to know his style of play so it's too easy for them to stop him and prevent him from scoring goals.

Stopping Mbappe and preventing him from scoring is easier than stopping Vinicius, that is an undeniable fact so far. Mbappe certainly needs to improve his performance especially in his finishing, but he has played well so far and seems to be adapting well. He needs to improve his goal productivity, but fans are expected to be patient.

Is this your general opinion about the two players or what are you referring to? This season? When?

Mbappe has scored seven goals in eleven games and Vinicius Junior has scored four goals in twelve games. Now when you are saying that you generally think it is harder to stop Vinicis Junior from scoring than Mbappe, I wonder what data you base that opinion on?

Mbappe is one of the strongest offensive opponents you can face as a defender and Vinicius Junior is very far away from the goal per game ratio that Mbappe has. I acknowledge the fact that Mbappe played in Ligue 1 while Vinicius Junior played in La Liga most of the time.

Let's take the Champions League then and there Vinicius Junior scored 21 goals in 58 games while Mbappe scored 49 goals in 75 games. I don't think you are onto something here with your opinion. The first few games for Real Madrid haven't been the best in his career, but in general I believe that Mbappe's best game is above Vinicius Junior's best game.
