Girona hadn't won for 4 weeks and they managed to put an end to that with a 2-1 win against Athletic Bilbao.They played much better than their opponent and deserved to win.They managed to defeat a tough opponent.Athletic Bilbao failed to capitalize on 2 penalties.
Barcelona, on the other hand, grabbed 3 points with the goals they found in the first half against Alaves.We can say that Barcelona did not have much difficulty in the match in which Lewandowski scored a hattrick.With this win, they continued to maintain their leadership.

Dani Carvajal injury has now added to the long list of injured players owned by Madrid, this season Madrid started the season poorly after a lot of injured players so with Carvajal injury of course it will make it difficult for Madrid to get up, I think the depth of the squad that Madrid has at the moment is quite good, but we can see if the injured players are the key to their game so far,  So it is undeniable that this will greatly affect Madrid's squad and consistency later, reportedly Madrid will try to recruit some players in the winter, but I hope that when the January transfer market opens later it will not be too late for them, because I think the tight schedule with many competitions that Madrid participating this season still in allows for injuries to their players later.

Impressive performance for Barcelona against Alaves. I had feeling Barcelona will win this one but to do it in such fashion was something unexpected. Lewandowski scoring a hatrick in the first half was insane. The connection between Lewandowski and Raphinha was magic, together they made Barcelona dangerous every time they went forward leaving Alaves defense with a tough job trying to stop them. Lewandowski had this to say after the match “I had some good passes and it made it easier for me to score goals.”

The latest injury to Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal is without doubt major setback for the Spanish and European champions. They'll now have to manage the current set of players till the January transfer window when the club will have the opportunity of signing another player again but considering the experience of the club manager, I think he'll definitely manage the situation very well. Florentino Perez is known for his words especially when it comes to transfer deals so I have no doubt that he'll help sign quality defenders to the club when the winter transfer window opens.

That’s quite an unfortunate news, we’ve already seen a couple of players going out for a long time on the sidelines and it’s a sad reality for the players who highly competitive and pretty much enjoy being on the pitch for every single minute of the game.

Real Madrid could now be force into looking for alternative defenders, with Militao also have some trouble with a know, they’ve been forced to play Lucas Vasquez at right back a couple of times, while Tchouameni was the paired CB partner with Rudiger for the match, surely Ancellotti should be looking at bringing in a player who’s naturally a defender.

In the world of football there will always be a storm of injuries experienced by big clubs and small clubs and it is impossible to avoid, but on the other hand this can be a new challenge for Carlo Ancelotti to play reserve players who can be given playing time, to help fill in for injured players there is nothing wrong for Carlo Ancelotti to do that, we also can't force Lucas Vazquez to fill the defense line after Carvajal left because he is actually an attacking midfielder, Eder Militao can be a good option I really agree with that hopefully Carlo Ancelotti can do it.

Three players got injured in one match is not something to talk about because it might bring setback to the club. But the most serious injury is that of Calvajar because he will miss almost a year nursing his injury until he he becomes fit.

It is a big challenge for Ancelotti because he started this season with injuries and that have not helped the club so far. It is now that Real Madrid is trying to put themselves back in the league so that they can compete with Barcelona on the title race but injuries wants to deprive them from that. I believe Ancelotti will know how to manage the pkayers in order for him not to have too many bad results from their upcoming matches.

Barcelona managed to return to the winning track after successfully destroying deportivo Alaves with a score of 3-0, in the match actually Barcelona had managed to score in the 3rd minute through Raphinha but the goal was disallowed by the referee because it was considered offside, but it didn't take time for Barcelona to rise and Lewandowski was again able to show his sharpness as a goal-hungry striker, at his current age of course it is very natural if many doubt if he can Back to his best form in scoring, but I think so far Lewandowski can still be considered one of the best goalscorers out there and his age is definitely not a barrier for him to continue to perform at his best, last season he only scored 19 goals and 8 assists in 32 games and for a player his age today of course it's not a bad achievement, so far under the coaching of Hansi Flick, So far under the coaching of Hansi Flick, he has started to regain his sharpness in scoring goals because while he has managed to score 10 goals and 2 assists only from 9 matches so that he occupies the position as he the temporary top scorer in La Liga.

That's right, the main factor that caused Girona to experience a decline in performance lies in their transfer policy, releasing Artem Dovbyk and Aleix Garcia was a detrimental step for the team. In addition, they also did not make the status of several loan players permanent, if due to budget constraints and trying to balance the financial balance, maybe that is understandable. New recruits have also not been able to show real contributions, Michel seems to have to start building everything again from scratch.
Girona seems to only be able to create a sensation for one season, when they only focus on La Liga. This season, with the addition of competitions they are participating in such as the Champions League, they have put pressure on them to repeat their impressive performance like last season. Girona is not completely bad, but they look unprepared to face every challenge.
Girona last victory over Athletic Bilbao also had to be achieved with great difficulty, Girona was very lucky when they got a penalty in the final minutes of the match. Girona statistics so far show that they have only been able to achieve 3 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats in all competitions. Michel must immediately improve this bad situation, because now they are ten places behind the leaders, and have only managed to get half of Barcelona total points.

Barcelona won the match against Alaves easily by scoring three goals. Lewandowski scored more and more, Raphinha made the goal passes, Lewandowski scored his goals and made a hattrick. Just give him the goal pass and leave the rest to Lewandowski, he will do what he needs to do. Lewandowski has already scored 10 goals. Raphinha's statistics also catch my attention, 5 goals and 5 assists.

Yes, it was quite predictable that Barcelona would win the match, but what made it even better was that they managed to keep a clean sheet. It's not really something extraordinary but it was special when Barcelona got it without Ter Stegen who was injured. I think there are still many people who might be doubtful if it should be Inaki Pena who guards the goalpost because he is still young, and he also didn't get many opportunities to be on the field last season.

For that reason, Barcelona signed Wojciech Szczesny after Ter Stegen was injured. However, looking at Inaki Pena's performance yesterday, it seems that Wojciech Szczesny will have to fight for a starting position.

First of all, it will be a trouble until the January transfer window, and that is a terrible thing for them, they will be basically missing a right back for half of the season. The only right back on squad according to transfermarkt is Vasquez, who played in other position for the team as well, and 33 years old too.

So, this is clear they are going to have some trouble, they are literally drop to their very last right back, and if anything ever happens to Vasquez, and I do not mean just injury, even a card or even fatigue which will definitely happen, we are going to see them have no natural right back at all and will have to play someone else out of position. They do this already, having some injuries, plus they didn't get a striker, they got Mbappe and decided to just put him on striker, who is actually a left winger, so another one could even disrupt more.

Alaba's return is also delayed and is not expected until 2025 at the earliest, he still has difficulty moving independently, so he cannot start running. Now Carvajal is out for a long time, according to preliminary forecasts, he will miss almost a year, and for Ancelotti this will definitely be a big problem. The only thing that is clear about Vinicius is that he has a neck injury, and it is not yet known how long he will be out of the game. As for Courtois, he should recover during the break, which is allocated for national team matches in the League of Nations.

It was predictable that Barcelona will win yesterday's match, because Alaves are weaker than Barcelona in all aspects. In yesterday's match, Barcelona's senior player Lewandowski showed magic, scoring three goals in the first half alone. He completely dominated the opposition in this match and looked like a young player. However, before this match Barcelona lost a match which was their first La Liga defeat of the year. After the defeat in that match, we thought that maybe Barcelona is going back to its old form, that is, rushing towards defeat.
Barcelona still occupy the top spot in the La Liga points table thanks to a great performance against Alaves.

Lewandowski was top performer of this match and he surprised all players of the match by doing 3 goals in this match. He was the only person who did goals in this match and no other can do goal in this match. Barcelona football team is at the top of this league and it is performing well and got brilliant points and no team is looking like Barcelona team .Alavés football team could not do any goal in this match  but we expected 1 goal from this side. No player of that team played well and they lose this match badly. The possession percentage of Barcelona team was brilliant and they won this match due to this reason and the passes of that team were also more than double.

Every year we see a team like Girona in one of the European leagues. Even though the team's player quality is not very good, they play harmoniously and finish the league with a good ranking. But this success does not continue, the quality decreases the next year. Girona is experiencing this again this year. I wish they played consistently and the quality continued to increase, but it is not possible to see this in low-budget teams

The issue about Trent Alexander-Arnold has been going on since last season as far as I'm concerned, and then it still continues until the last transfer market but the fact is that Trent Alexander-Arnold is still at Liverpool because basically Trent Alexander-Arnold did grow up in Liverpool. Thus, I think it is not surprising if for example Trent Alexander-Arnold still chooses to stay at Liverpool despite offers from other top teams. But in fact, recently I also got a rumor about Real Madrid having talks with Trent Alexander-Arnold, and from the rumors circulating before it seems that Trent Alexander-Arnold might also play at Real Madrid in the upcoming transfer window or maybe next season.

But, with Carvajal's injury, it might make Real Madrid try to bring in Trent Alexander-Arnold even faster, because maybe the situation is very urgent. But basically, the rumor about Real Madrid and Trent Alexander-Arnold is not new now or after Carvajal was injured, because their issue has been going on since last season or maybe the last two seasons, and is getting stronger now.

This season has been very tough for Madrid, with key players entering the treatment room one by one. ACL injuries seem to be starting to befriend Madrid players, previously Courtois, Militão, Alaba were confirmed to have ACL injuries, and now Carvajal has also followed them. Losing Carvajal makes Madrid's defense a little fragile, so far he has always been one of the keys to the solidity of the defensive area, he has also always been consistent in maintaining his performance. Now Madrid must trust Lucas Vazquez to fill Carvajal position and Eder Militao will be another option at right-back, at least until the January transfer window opens.

This season has been a culture shock for Girona and at the start of this season they were still under pressure which made their performance strugle until now which made the situation not too good for them.

It is undeniable that when at the Champions League level it will indirectly make them more able to steal in terms of play and experience of the best clubs in the competition, but it will not be used as a benchmark when the situation of the squad is not too good.
The reason for Girona not being able to be the same as before is undeniable that this is the result of their mistakes in management in making the wrong transfers where they did not pay attention to the potential when previously they could reach the best position in La Liga thanks to some important players who became the initial foundation but they let go of it which made their condition as it is now. With the current situation, it seems that focusing on La Liga will be difficult because in the end their goal productivity has been disrupted for the time being.

It is indeed unfortunate that this long injury was experienced by the senior Real Madrid player, but for the team's performance I think we don't need to overdo it because in January the transfer market will reopen and even Perez has said that Real Madrid will shop for defenders in the winter market and that will be the first time since 6 seasons ago.

Carlo Ancelotti is quite experienced and he has been able to handle the storm of injuries in a team and even last season the Real Madrid team also had the same fate as this but Carlo Ancelotti managed to get out of the problem so I think the same thing is also possible to happen this season.
