De Jong is a kind of midfielder with passion on ball possession but does not have instinct of moving the ball forward directly and speedy. With him, Barcelona can control ball better in the midfield but match intensity will be slower and it will give opponents more time to restructure their defense system. I watched many boring matches like this with De Jong in midfields of Barcelona and Netherlands teams.

Barcelona have good form and they will bet all cost to win La Liga in this season so losing points to a weak team like Alaves is not in their plan. Football is unpredictable and Alaves have small chances to make a surprise and get points from Barcelona. Generally I believe that Barcelona can finish this match with three points for adding to their pocket and maintaining the first position after this week.

Espanyol managed to defeat Mallorca 2-1 at home. 2-0 up in the 47th minute, the hosts had almost no chance of losing the game.
Getafe, on the other hand, drew 1-1 with Osasuna at home.Getafe's matches are usually goalless.By goalless, I mean that they have been between 2-3 goals until now.Yesterday, Getafe, who took the lead against Osasuna with the goal of our national star Bertug Yıldırım, could not prevent the draw goal.

You really expect some goal from Las Palmas that is currently sitting on the buttom of the table with three points after playing eight games? It's obvious, they are not first division team and they will go back to where they belong come the end of the season. I'm sure any second division playing against nine men would have scored three goals considering they're playing at their own home ground. If a team can not win a game or at least secure a draw when opponents is down with two men before sixty minutes, such a team is not capable of being in any competitive league. Perhaps, the refree should send out half of the team for them in their next match since that's what they want before they can score a goal.

This is more pronounced as there are many games to play before the end of the season, and I am quite sure that Barcelona and Real Madrid would win, draw, and lose some of their matches in the race for the Laliga League top contestants. However, who knows the end result of the club that lifts the Laliga title? It can be Real Madrid or Barcelona to be the 2024/20225 Laliga League title holder of the season.

Alaves have lost three times in their last four league games, but all of them on the road. Compared to the beginning of the season they have problems in defense. One of the reasons for this is that important players like Abqar, Novoa and Sedlar have not been able to maintain consistency and keep fit. However, Alaves are still a team that plays well in transition and this can be a danger for Barcelona. Barcelona are again missing a lot of players. They also have a tight fixture schedule. Therefore, Hansi Flick's chances of rotation and moves look slim. However, with De Jong back in the team, they could be more energized against Alaves. I think Barcelona will learn from their mistakes after the Osasuna game and play with fewer mistakes in this match. Barcelona will not allow any surprises and will win this match.

You should have known that Real Madrid and Barcelona are always the favorite to win Laliga and they always rotate it from season to season. Barcelona and Real Madrid are on the same points but Barcelona will play their outstanding match today and that is what we will use to know if Barcelona continues to top the table or they will go down to second place.

The chance of Barcelona maintaining the first position is high because their host Alaves is a weak club and I don't expect a draw in this match. As the league gets matured, that is when the strongest amongst these two clubs will prevail.

Before anything else, I'm so sorry about Carvajal's injury.    He is really unlucky with that. I hope it doesn't take him more than a couple of months to recover fully. Because he is one of the crucial members of the lineup.

When it comes to the game, Real Madrid had a really decent win. Both of the goals were incredible. Valverde is absolutely one of the hard to replace players in the squad now.    He has a special talent with power shots too.

You know Vinicius Junior already. He did his job incredible. I just can't say Real Madrid were in full control but it was a thing that I expected though. Villarreal had more xG but football is not all about statistics that they couldn't score anyway.

Madrid managed to win the match against Villareal with a convincing score, the defeat to Lille in the previous match made them motivated and when the match just started, they immediately attacked the Villareal defense, so the score of 2-0 for Madrid victory finally made them equal the points from Barcelona who have not played their 9th match today, the victory actually had to be paid dearly by Madrid over villareal after Dani Carvajal and Vinicius suffered injuries in the match, And with their current injuries make many of Madrid key players are injured at the same time, so obviously this will make their defence very vulnerable.
Lucas Vázquez could indeed be a temporary replacement, but as you said, his quality may not be on par with Carvajal, because I think he is a pretty solid defender and often helps Madrid attacking line so far, although maybe Madrid have a capable squad depth but the number of key players who are injured will of course gradually affect their performance this season.

Real Madrid won the match and got three points but they were not happy with the way the match ended because Real Madrid players got injured before the end of the game, Vinicius and Cavajal got an injury in the game but Vini Jr own will not that serious but Dani Carvajal owns is very serious, according to the news this morning that Dani Cavajal injury is ACL and we all know that ACL injury is an injury that can end a player career because some player's find it difficult to perform well after having an ACL injury and Dani Carvajal is 32 year's old man who is very important for Real Madrid and Spain, Dani Cavajal is the best defensive Right back since last season after having a good performance in the champion league and Euros game.

Real Madrid is in talks about ending his contract in the coming days and this happened, Real Madrid did not have any better defensive Right-back player than Cavajal, although Real Madrid has Lucas Vazquez If we take a look at every game that Real Madrid plays with Vazquez and Cavajal game we will know that Cavajal is better than Lucas Vazquez because Vazquez is not a player like to cross out ball like Carvajal and also not a permanent defensive player, Real Madrid need to act fast and get another player in the position, we are hearing news of Real Madrid signing Arnod from Liverpool and Arnod will likely want to join real Madrid because he has no plan to sign another contract with Liverpool again.

It seems that Real Madrid has lost not only Carvajal but also Vinicius, his injury may not be as serious as Carvajal's, but his absence is a loss for the team in any case. Valverde is becoming an important midfield player and it seems to me that Ancelotti was just starting to find his game when he faced new losses. The match with Villarreal was expectedly very difficult and despite the victory, they lost very important players.

By the way, I noticed that Ter Stegen also received a very serious injury in the match with Villarreal, so I can conclude that their players are quite rude and are not too worried about the fact that they can cause other players big trouble. Carvajal is too big a loss for Real Madrid's defense, I think that this player has long been irreplaceable for Ancelotti.

Carvajal has torn his ACL. It's a major injury, and it takes months to recover.

About Real Madrid, they are now facing serious issues in their defensive line. They lost lots of key players such as Courtois, Alaba, and now Carvajal. They have Vazquez, who can fill Carvajal's position. But, I'm doubting him to play at the same level as Carvajal did.

They obviously need to add more players to their squad. A very busy schedule, and intensive games are ruining their players.

Barcelona need to win to open more gap between them and real Madrid. A draw is not bad but it will reduce the their lead gap between them and Madrid. And nobody knows when they will start having bad results. So now that they are still playing good football they should try as much as possible to continue to maintain that gap between them and Madrid. Madrid had started the league poorly and when they pick form they won't stop until the end of the season. So Barcelona shouldn't go and settle for a draw when the face Alavés. Alavés are not doing very well and it wont go well for Barcelona to drop a single point when they play against Alavés today. Same way that real Madrid have managed to win their match yesterday, Barcelona should also try and win their match as well.

Real Madrid victory over Villareal came at the expense of several players, especially Carvajal who will certainly be out for a long time, losing Carvajal is fatal and only adds to Madrid problems. Ancelotti has not finished fixing the front line now must think again to find a replacement for Carvajal. At first glance of today match the situation has not changed Mbappe and Vinicius are still difficult to build a partnership. However after Mbappe was withdrawn, Rodrygo was immediately able to liven up the attack which allowed Vinicius to score. However, the effectiveness of Madrid's attack could not work well due to the lack of ideal ball supply from the midfielders. Although Modric was there, it was not enough to sharpen the attack.

It is starting to become clear what was predicted: that the only two contenders to win the league will be Madrid and Barcelona. A priori Barcelona have an easy game today against Alavés, and even if it is away from home they should have no problems. Only a draw would keep them ahead of Madrid, but in any case, as more matchdays go by I think the difference between these two teams and the rest will be more pronounced.

Espanyol 2-1 Mallorca
Getafe 1-1 Osasuna
Las Palmas 0-1 Celta Vigo
Valladolid 1-2 R Vallecano
Real Madrid 2-0 Villarreal

This is yesterday result which am very impressed only when Real Madrid won the match against Villarreal to have more points gap from one point to four points which is still not enough because any mistakes now will result in losing the gap, but I don't expect that to happen now because they still have Barcelona ahead of them which the have the same points now but Barcelona are still in their 8th march and today they will make it up to 9th matches the same as Real Madrid and if the win the point gap move from zero to three points as before.

The result of other matches are expected but for Las Palmas and Celta Vigo really surprised me a lot because I am beginning to wonder whether Las Palmas are really ready for this season because it actually looks annoying, they hosted Celta Vigo and they played 9 against 11 almost throughout the second half and they couldn't even draw, even though I knew Celta Vigo are far better than them I see does red cards as avenue for them to set a record by winning their first game of the season but the misuse the opportunity.

In his first season in the Real Madrid squad, Kylian Mbappe was not so bad and over time he will also continue to improve although he still has to make adjustments when one of Real Madrid's players gets injured. But overall Real Madrid are still strong enough to be a candidate for the title this season even though for now Real Madrid are not in first place because Barcelona have also made a difference in terms of their performance. I also feel quite sorry for what happened to Dani Carvajal because he is a very good player at Real Madrid, but it seems he needs to rest for a while to recover.

Although my bet lost on the Madrid match, I don't feel disappointed because seeing my favorite team win makes me feel proud. Seeing the first score achieved by Valverde, I was reminded of Toni Kroos. The shot was very beautiful and successfully went into the Villarreal goal. My hope is that Valverde can become the next Toni Kroos.
Unfortunately, we have to be a bit sad to see Carvajal's cries of pain as he had to suffer an injury after that victory. It's so sad.

ACL is serious injured so i am not surprising if to recover from this injured it takes months and if this news is true then this is big lost for Real Madrid because for right back Carvajal position is irreplaceable and for right back as far i know Real Madrid don't have much players who can be played on that position and this is also one of the fans main concern because the fans were wondering why this summer Real Madrid didn't buy players for this position because basically they lack of players for right back and indeed Real Madrid has Lucas Vazquez but i have to says his quality is below to Carvajal and i am not sure he can playing consistent however 2 months duration to recover so far only the prediction of medical team from Real Madrid and it could be worst depend on Carvajal condition later but if this situation will continue until January then most likely Real Madrid will bought new right back

Yes, Mbappe had a mediocre 71 minutes against Villarreal (0 shots on target, 5 failed dribbles out of 7 total). It is possible that Mbappe has not fully recovered from the injury sustained in the Madrid derby. He may have not yet adapted to the right-sided striker's game when coach Ancelotti unexpectedly switched to a 4-4-2 in the next match against Villarreal. Mbappe is still far from what people expected of him.
But even though he didn't score, Mbappe still made moves to create space and attract opposing defenders, contributing to the team's overall victory.

People expect too much from Mbappé. He can never reach the level of Messi or Ronaldo. If Mbappé continues to not correct his shortcomings, age will take away his speed. And he will become like any other mediocre player.

If you had played football, you would be aware that a player can still be credited with helping a team even when they do not score a goal or provide an assist. In addition to their individual contributions, football players work as a team. After his shot was blocked, he passed the ball rather than trying to score himself, which helped contribute to the first goal. He needs time because League One is not as competitive as the Spanish League.

The major injury Dani Carvajal sustained in his collision with Jeremy Pino yesterday overshadowed the celebration of Real Madrid's victory. The possibility that he will not play the entire season is a serious setback for the European Champions. When the transfer window opens in January, the team will need to purchase a new player to take his place. However, Eder Militao or Lucas Vazquez will be the team's right-back for the time being.
