In my opinion, Mbappe still needs time to adapt, at Real Madrid everything seems different. Mbappe is the main finisher at PSG, the variety of attacks built will prioritize him as the executor. At Real Madrid, Ancelotti applies a different strategy, it seems that when the chemistry has started to form intensely, Mbappe will appear sharp again. The competitive level of the League and the different cultures may also be other obstacles for Mbappe. There is nothing wrong with Mbappe, he is a player who can make a difference in the outcome of the match.

Dude seem to be on fire this season with his form, and it's not just him alone but to the entire squad and that's a substantive indication of the depth of energy and improvement Hansi Flick has brought into this Barcelona squad, the players appears inspired both individually and as a team.

On the other side, his EPL counterpart Erling Haaland has scored 10 goals in their six games this season, with just 1 goal in the UCL. A huge competition there between both strikers for the golden boot.

Barca sitting at the top of the table is a reflection of their hardwork and am hoping the international break doesn't distort their consistency with injuries and fatigue when they return back to league competition. As for the El classico this season it's definitely going to be a different one from what we saw last season where Barca couldn't rise up to the challenge due to their bad form under Xavi.

Carvajal is really unlucky with his injury. Even Hansi Flick made a statement on his injury by saying how sorry he was for him. Carvajal is still one of the best left-backs in the league.

As for the El Clasico closing in, I can't wait for it!    Barcelona are on a massive run and I really wonder whether Real Madrid will be able to stop them. Raphinha and Lewandowski are both reborn this season thanks to Hansi Flick. You know Yamal too. The kid is wonderful. In short Barcelona also has very deadly attackers just as Real Madrid has. A big clash is waiting for us.

I have had this idea that a player who knows what they are doing will surely excel under any coach. But two scenarios have made me change my thinking. The first was;

• Manchester United Erik Ten Hang and Ronaldo. Ronaldo had a fantastic season under Ole in the previous season, just to meet the next season with huge disappointment.
• Lewandowski under Xavi was seeing playing time and was also playing in his natural position but was not performing optimally. Infact, I nearly attributed that to his age but the matter is different today.

It seems Torres the player of Barcelona is going to be out and lose some games in this team. He got injured in the game against Alavés very soon after the start of the match and now Barcelona confirmed that he will be out for a long time.
The worst thing about Ferran Torres in Barcelona is he is going to lose the game against Real Madrid which is the most importants game in La Liga in which he could help his team be will be absent.

The opportunities aspect isn't enough I think not enough  cross were  to him since he arrived at realmadrid, I did watch some of realmadrid games and I noticed that though that didn't still justify his is performance recently as it  seem to be fair though but not as how he used to when he was at PSGnad like you said his performance at World Cup,  don't really what's up with that actually  because  I some him receive some clear chance to make a goal happen but he missed them .
Maybe he still hasn't get used to it :)or there's just totally something wrong with him recently.

People say he's not 100% fit, but I doubt that's the reason for his dip in form. He has dipped before he got to Real Madrid. If you remember, he was average in the Euros, he wasn't at his best there and he had a lot of time to rest and recover before the new season started, so I don't think his dip in form is injury related.

At Real Madrid, he has not been all that. The whole team has not been spectacular this season, but Mbappe looks like a shadow of himself. I knew la liga was not going to be easy for him, but I expected him to have good games. Mbappe has not had a good game in a Real Madrid shirt. Scoring goals in La liga is difficult. Aside from Messi Suarez and Ronaldo, no striker consistency scored more than 25 league goals in La liga.
I think if Mbappe is given more time, he'll excell. The fans just need to be patient with him and supportive, he'll get his form back.

Aside from Mbappe, if Real Madrid don't improve the way they play, they might have a bad season. Getting the results the way they have been doing might not be sustainable forever because Barcelona is in a good form and to win the league they have to be better. If they don't find a way to top Barcelona before January it's going to be difficult because all Barcelona players will be back before then and they might be better than they already are except they suffer more injuries.

I don't think so, but Lewandowski can repeat his best record in La Liga like his first season. Robert Lewandowski scored 23 goals in his first season in La Liga with Barcelona and at that time he was the top scorer. This season, Robert Lewandowski has the opportunity to lead the top scorer until the end of the season if he is really able to maintain his good performance like the last 9 matches. 10 goals and 2 assists in 9 matches is the best so far, especially when he is a 36 year old center forward.

The good performance of Lewandowski and his colleagues so far has made Barcelona lead the standings. Barcelona has scored 24 goals in 9 matches, while conceding 9 goals. If Hansi Flick can maintain his player's performance for longer, then I am sure Flick can win the La Liga title in his first season.

That guy was right there like the goals are already plan and was easy for him and from the reactions of yhe Ansi Flick, you will know that man is doing everything in his power to make sure this club stays at the top. His reaction to goals score, reaction to how players defend their partners, the way they move he is always there for them, I'm happy that Laporta is finally going to have a sleepless night and wouldn't bother about the appearance of Mbape in Real Madrid.


Spin clubs are very good in accommodating old players and I think he is one the oldest in the team but look at Real Madrid, the still have more than his age mate in the club that are active and are constantly playing for their club. I'm not sure if the guy will go to any club aside from playing fot Barcelona. The best he will do is to perhaps follow the same thing Ronaldo and Messi did in the final.

Flick's arrival seems to give Lewandowski more impetus this season to repeat the record he had previously set at Bayern although it must be difficult but indeed with the current situation especially for the start of the season he is so on fire even though with his current age I think he could have made a surprise return this season.

His previous performance last season had declined especially with some rumours that occurred when he was rumoured to be released to the SPL seemed to provide more encouragement for his performance this season. 9 games with 10 goals is certainly a very good ratio for a player over 36 years old considering there are only a few players who can do that especially for big competitions.
Momentum like this must be maintained by Lewa because this can indeed make his value remain balanced even with an age that is no longer young.

Everything traced back to Carlo Ancelotti because he's the main man for the managerial role in Santiago Bernabéu. Los Blancos understands their craving desperate hunger for major titles this season and looking forward to it would be huge chance for the new faces in the club. Real Madrid players are probably switching lanes to be unavailable for country call up duties this week. Why? It's simple, when these players go for international duty call-up, most of them are sustained with minor or major injuries. The international break is here, time for these clubs to have rest because the top competitive race in the club's league is totally frustrating.

Carvajal who happens to be one of the oldest players in Real Madrid, he defends magnificently. He have been defensive this season, he knows the grassroots of the club and have delivered stellar performance on the pitch. The Spaniard is currently been injured and its recorded to br out for 7/8 months. Real Madrid squad have good players with possible enchanced mentality to elevate the performance of the club.

Good analysis and I don't know whether it was the right call to leave Mbappe at home, I really don't know. But everyone knows that Mbappe is far away from his best level. Something is going on and he can't deliver what everyone expected from him. But I have to reaffirm that Mbappe is playing bullshit most of the time since he came from PSG. It is not his game so far and nobody understands what the issue is. Even Ancelotti doesn't know, but he would not let the public know. Mbappe is out of shape in my opinion. I remember his games at the World Cup when he went furious and destroyed the opponent. For some reason he can't do it at the moment although he has all these top players around him feeding him with opportunities.

The winning side in the Andalusian Derby was Sevilla.
The common feature of both teams was that they won their home matches but did not win away matches, and the statistics did not change again.
Sevilla scored the winning goal with Lukebakio in the 50th minute.
The match was tough as I expected, with 9 yellow cards and a double yellow card.
Both teams had 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. The only difference is Sevilla's goal difference is -1
Betis 0

Aside from Carvajal who recently got an out-of-the-season injury over the weekend, no other Real Madrid player is injured. Real Madrid just employed those tactics to keep them from travelling for the international break so they will be well-rested.
Mbappe did not go to France, they claimed he was not fit, but he played against Lille and started against Villareal. Vinicius and Militao didn't go to Brazil either.

I can't blame Real Madrid for using these antics, the players need to be protected since we're entering the heat of the season. They need to refresh and get themselves back. the problem is, nobody cares because its Real Madrid, if it was another club, the media would have come hard on them. They did the same thing in the last international break and they're doing it again now.

The match was expected to be won by Barcelona, but as they had a defeat in the previous match, there was special attention on this match. But when Robert Lewandowski scored the first goal within 7 minutes of the match, the excitement returned to the Barca fans. The 2nd goal on 22 minutes and the 3rd goal on 32 minutes was completed by Lewandowski he got a hat-trick that was a exciting moment for Barcelona. They won't want to make the same mistakes they did against Osasuna. Hansi Flick also wants to remain uncontested with his team this season. Barcelona will meet Sevilla in the next match. According to predictions, Barcelona will be ahead there as well.

We really notice that the reunion of Lewandowski and Hansi Flick makes the player seem to be back to his best. Yes, he's back exactly to his exact performance which is more optimal. As predicted by people previously, if Flick will be able to optimize Lewandowski's ability again, and this really happened this time.

El Classico will happen in 2 weeks. Exactly on matchday 11, El Classico will be held at Bernabeu. It'll be a high tension game again and again. This will be a very balanced and tight match, although many Real Madrid players are currently injured. but all will play with totality for this high tension and prestige match.

Robert Lewandowski cheering after scoring a hattrick against Alaves 

Watching this match made me feel like I am watching Prime Robert Lewandowski . The way he played in this match was incredible, great hat trick from him. yes, it was a good match for Hansi Flick's side after they lost the last match against Osasuna.

But at the same time, I also have to say that Alaves is not one of the best opponents as well. So it was expected that Catalan Giants is going to win this match. Maybe it was not expected that they are going to dominate like this. But I am happy that the Catalan Giants was able to win and this is also got that Flick was able to keep a three-point lead compared to Real Madrid and stay at the top of the table. I hope Flick's side is not going to make any big mistakes like they did in the match before this one. probably Hansi Flick will be able to compete for the La Liga title till the end of the season.

Lewandowski is completely on fire!    With this hat-trick, he has reached 10 goals in 9 games in the La Liga already. It is like Hansi Flick woke him up from a bad dream as he wasn't this productive in the attacking line before.

He is 36 years old now and I'm quite curious whether he will be able to fight for Golden Shoe. They have equal number of goals with Haaland and I don't know the current situation in the other leagues. Coefficients differ in European leagues though right?

Anyways, Barcelona are the number one team before the national break. 8 wins and continuing... Real Madrid follow 3 points behind and I'm especially waiting for the first El Clasico in the league.  

Terrible news and this is not the first player to be out for a long period since the start of the season. Footballers have increasingly begun to say that the current calendar is harmful to them as there is no time to recover, let alone just rest. I blame FIFA/UEFA and the bastard officials who come up with garbage tournaments and constantly increase the number of games. It is difficult for me to assess Real's prospects as they still have good squad depth, but this is undoubtedly a big loss.

One of the reasons why Barcelona is leading the league and Real Madrid isn't could be the injuries as well. I know that it is not a big deal, but looks like the injuries are playing a big deal because Real has been missing so many players since the start of the season and just as they think they are getting better and some players recover, another one gets injured, which is a big trouble for them. Meanwhile, Barcelona doesn't have any big injury as far as I remember, looking at the team, Araujo is the only player that is long term gone, and he is definitely missed but not the same.

Albeit they have Gavi, Olmo, all missing but they have never been really considered during this win process so it is not the same thing. Olmo wasn't around for years, he got there and then gone, and Gavi has been injured for a while so they are used to playing without him. Unlike Real Madrid, whose players injured when they were end up being in the plans for the season.
