I don't think the same either, if they come out with Mbappé who can make 1 or 23 goals of advantage is super good, because personally things have to be more focused on securing now, it doesn't matter if the second half of the game becomes boring, the important thing is that they don't let points be lost, I think that's what it's about, it's not about showing that they have the best team in the world, that they are all titans, that is already known, what is needed is that they can do things better with results, sometimes a team plays badly but scores the goals to win and at the end of it all it's about scoring goals and winning, that's how Ancelotti should see it, that's why I think that change is necessary.

Currently Barcelona is ranked 1st and Real Madrid is ranked 2nd in the standings. Both teams are in their best form and this makes me really looking forward to this season's el classico. They have a busy schedule and this will determine which coach can rotate players well before the el classico match. Real Madrid wants to get 1st place and Barcelona wants to increase the points difference from Madrid. This derby will be an important match for both teams so I think this game will be very exciting to watch.

Yeah Barcelona have a great performances this season compared to their last season performance, but this the right time for them to put in much efforts if not the Real Madrid mighty take over the top standing from them. Because the way Madrid performance is moving on currently now if care is not taking they might chances Barcelona after there upcoming match.

Barcelona are about to lose there consistency with the kind patterns of the game their playing this day, compared to how they started the league this season, and if they didn’t maintain their performances and continue to lose every of their matches or draw they lose their first standing in the  table.

Even those with the least knowledge of football are bound to praise Real Madrid for the formidable team they have put together this season, but the biggest problem has been injuries to all of Real Madrid's key players. At the moment, if these six important players are injured for a long time and if they are out for a long time, but Real Madrid will suffer a lot. Real Madrid have important matches in the Champions League and must win their next matches to maintain the top position in La Liga. If Real Madrid do poorly in the absence of these key players, then they won't be able to win the title later on. A manager builds the team by planning that several players can get injured in a season but the manager of Real Madrid probably never thought that six important players would get injured.

It is funny how you brought only the statistics of 2021 here and I clearly said Madrid were better other over the past two or three seasons here and why not run the statistics over uptil date. Barcelona first season under Xavi was when they won the league title and that was the season you’re bringing this statistics. Now let’s compare it,

In 2022/23,
First leg Madrid won 3-1
Second leg Barcelona won 2-1
Super cup Barcelona won 3-1
Copa del Rey semi final Barcelona won 1-0
Copa dem Rey semi final second leg Madrid won 4-0

2023/2024
Laliga first leg Madrid won 2-1
Laliga second leg Madrid won 3-2
Super cup Madrid won 4-1

In the 8 meetings I brought out the statistics here it is Madrid who had won more which is in five occasions to Barcelona’s 3 and they have a total aggregated goals of 18 goals scored to Barcelona’s 11 goals. In this two seasons they have won the super cup ahead of Barcelona in two occasions. I will still stand that Real Madrid had been the favourite going into each tie but not this season again. You can check even Livescore for the head to head stats

People expectation are starting to high to Mbappe after he presented the UEFA Super Cup especially on this match he was scored so people thought Mbappe will scores a lot of goals for Real Madrid but when Laliga started Mbappe performance is not too impressive but i assume he only required more time to adapt with Real Madrid especially for Laliga atmosphere and actually Mbappe currently as Real Madrid top scorer in Laliga with 5 goals but just like i said above his performance cannot be says impressive because 4 from those goals is came from penalty kick not from open play

I didn't too pay attention about Mbappe recently because i thought he still got the injured but surprisingly Mbappe can be played when Real Madrid beat Villarreal and Real Madrid playing at champion league against Lille but unfortunately he didn't scores from those matches and the recent news about Mbappe is he wouldn't playing defend France at Nation League this because France manager Didier Deschamps didn't calling him for international break and i think this is good for Mbappe because he can recovery his fitness condition because in my view although he playing for Real Madrid last week but Mbappe condition still not fully recover

Alexander Arnold's contract with Liverpool ends only in the summer of 2025, that's more than half a year, and I don't think Real will be able to wait that long, and I doubt that Liverpool will want to terminate the contract with their defender early. The fact that Liverpool is in no hurry to discuss the terms of a new contract with Alexander Arnold does not mean that they are ready to let him go, and this situation will definitely be to his advantage, if there is demand for the player, he can always demand better contract terms.

Who says Madrid is not chasing the La Liga trophy? That is not true, because the La Liga trophy is a healthy hunt for Madrid besides they focus on UCL, La Liga is very worthy of being chased. There is no reason not to win the Domestic League trophy which is the main competition in Spain. Moreover, this is still early in the season, so the Runner up position that you see now is not the final result, there are still 29 matches waiting and you easily say Madrid is not chasing La Liga? Come on, be a little rational in judging a prestigious competition.

In my opinion its just a matter of time and getting used to each other, Mbappe has proven to be a good player and a good person
in my opinion there are many factors that are putting Real Madrid at a disadvantage, i'll expect them to slowly grow together with their physical form which seems very low at the moment
you'll see

I think for now Mbappe still needs time to adapt in Madrid considering the pressure and very high expectations from the club and fans, although he has scored a few goals but so far he has not shown his best performance as a reliable striker before in Ligue 1, the reason for his move to Madrid is undeniable because of his desire to win the UCL trophy and currently he is struggling to get it with Madrid, besides that he is lucky enough to be able to join Madrid because without waiting long he won the UEFA Super Cup which he has never get at PSG so far, I think when he understands the tactics and style of play and can build chemistry with Madrid players, then I am optimistic that Mbappe will make a significant contribution and help Madrid win more trophies in the future, If we talk about the condition of Madrid which is currently suffering from player injuries, In fact, it is a big challenge for Ancelotti in designing an optimal strategy and I think with his ability and experince so far of course he will be able to overcome these problems.

In his first season, Mbappe has presented the UEFA Super Cup for Real Madrid and it was the first time he got it throughout his career, indeed for now Mbappe has not been so stable in playing every match with Real Madrid in the domestic league or in the UCL but that is not something that can be blamed considering that Madrid's current condition is unstable because several core players are injured, it will affect Mbappe's performance because Ancelotti as a tactician cannot focus on his attack line. As time goes by I am sure he will be able to find his best game with Real Madrid and present achievements, we just have to wait for the right moment to come.

Most of the time Real Madrid had draw in their matches, they have their prominent players in good position but as it stands right now, I'm not sure if that is going to be possible right now, they more than enough injury players that are not going to be available in their matches from next round and that makes them vulnerable to any attack, they can't stand Barcelona freely especially how rugged El classico is any time they meet to play any of the rounds.

If I remember correctly, the last two round of El clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Madrid won the two leg and that means Real Madrid are going to have a chance to win their own round, and even from the friendly matches that were played this season, Barcelona won them despite all their players were around in that game, there is much to this game even though it's Real Madrid home.

You are right, Barcelona has a better consistent performance so far this season, even though Barcelona lost one match to Osasuna due to some errors, Barcelona still have three points clear ahead of Real Madrid, and with the goal difference Barcelona has gotten even though they lose to Madrid in the El Classico, they will still maintain their first position with goals difference. But can Real Madrid defeat Barcelona?
This is the question I am asking everybody because the situation in both teams, they have similar chance of winning each other and the game might end up in a draw if Madrid can win, then Barcelona can also win.

The managers have crucial roles to play in this game because all eyes on them as their team selection will the main factor that will determine the match outcome.

I don't think Madrid is chasing the La Liga title too much or in other words Madrid is more focused on UCL and in La Liga getting a runner up result is already a good result. But in terms of the match between the two teams I am sure Madrid will win. And later when you want to bet on the match it would be better to see the formation of both teams before placing a bet. Because we also have to see who will be the starting line up and if Ancelotti uses the main players, Madrid chances of winning are big. But if Ancelotti uses second string players, a draw is more likely.

Mbappe does not need to have more extraordinary achievements in his first season at Real Madrid because the team will definitely understand that for Mbappe because he just made his debut with Real Madrid this season. And Real Madrid fans must also understand this because Mbappe also needs time to understand the direction of the Real Madrid coach who is already quite famous. This season Real Madrid will also continue to compete with other big teams in La Liga and also in the UCL and I am sure Mbappe will definitely make a good contribution to Real Madrid.

The problem of losing and not even being able to draw in games is a problem of the players and not the coach. Instead of spending so much money on getting a new coach, they can use part of the money to get tow to three players that can improve the performance of the team. Also, they can sell some players and add up to get more players. Atletico Madrid is a well-known club in La Liga so their fans expect so much from them. Diego Simeone is a good coach i like his experience and managerial skills. But there club does not have enough money to give him the players he deserves to win the trophy.

I agree with you here. Academy players can fill in the space of playing in the top 11 whenever there is a need for that. There are lots of raw talents in the young players so it's nice to invest in them. Many teams are using this strategy to get the players they want with time so it is such a great idea.

The situation that worries Real Madrid the most is not the playing pattern that is not well connected between players, but the injury problems that continue to befall important players in the squad. Carvajal injury has raised major concerns about the solidity of the back line, Real Madrid have started taking steps to bring in new players in the winter transfer market.
Real Madrid are trying to offer €45 million to sign Trent Alexander Arnold, who has reportedly rejected Liverpool contract extension offer. This situation is very beneficial for Real Madrid who are in dire need of a right-back, Liverpool are in a disadvantageous position because if they do not accept the offer from Real Madrid, they will have to see him leave as a free agent at the end of the season.

A three-point difference is not a difficult thing to catch up even though Barcelona is currently much better compared to Real Madrid. Before the El Clasico match both teams have to prepare for several other matches so that will make both coaches have to think about rotation. Injuries to some players can affect the results and especially when the El Clasico match starts. The role of a coach is very important in a crucial situation like this because if they lose their best moment, they will lose points.

All matches must be considered important by both teams because a defeat will affect the results and in the Champions League, especially for both teams, they must also secure a win so that they can give their best in the competition. It is interesting to watch the El Clasico match and I want to see how Mbappe can make a difference.

Currently, Barcelona have better and consistent performance in this season than Real Madrid although not unbeaten yet but loss many points after being draw in three matches. Real Madrid remaining three points left from Barcelona on current standings position awhile and the el clasico match very crucial for both teams to secure their top standings position and Barcelona won't loss their opportunity with first standing place.

Before El Clasico match, both teams have busy schedule match after international break have one La Liga match and few days later will play in UEFA Champion League match. I think both manager between Hansi Flick and Carlo Ancelotti will make huge rotation for facing most important match because high intention both teams most important winning on El Clasico match than other match.

I think it's true, we don't have to look far, we just look at the problems in Barcelona, ​​whether their stadium is still called Camp Nou, of course it has become an addition to the Spotify Camp Nou Stadium, it can't be a benchmark that they have financial problems, but do we realize that the players owned by ATM are just like that and even they always have difficulty competing, if ATM has the power of money then most likely they will equal their strength like Real Madrid and both are in the city of Madrid, of course in terms of management that has not been so good in their last few seasons and even they also have difficulty bringing in top players even though they previously had famous players but they always failed to win the championship title either in the Domestic League or the Champions League.

Is there any improvement in the squad so far in the ATM camp, of course there is none, because it is difficult for them, so increasing cooperation to increase sponsorship would be much better to get so much money to build and add ammunition for player purchases, at least according to the needs of the team and use the money as best as possible, if managed well then it is likely that ATM will be able to compete in the Domestic League, not stuck in the third position of the standings or below, at least they are able to be at the top of the La Liga standings if that happens then it is likely that there will be many sponsors coming to ATM.
