It's definitely going to tougher tomorrow with several stars including Messi, Suarez and Dembele still unavailable for selection.

Barca needs to find a way to fight properly without their stars, Messi especially. It's not a team if you can't win with other players.

I believe the young lads would be impressive, Betis might be too big a team for experiments, but such true tests produces game winners.

The current La Masia is not as good as before in producing high-quality players, because the system changed. I'm not that positive, to be honest. If they want to have good players like Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, etc again, they need to start changing their system. Sports must be the majority of their activity.

Match day squad according to the Official Website.
They are: are Ter Stegen, N. Semedo, Piqué, I. Rakitic, Sergio, Arthur, Rafinha, Lenglet, Griezmann, Jordi Alba, S. Roberto, F. De Jong, Vidal, Umtiti, Junior, Iñaki Peña, C . Perez and Ansu Fati.

Todibo, M. Wague and Aleñá have been left out by the coach, whilst Suárez, Messi, O. Dembélé and Neto are still injured.


Ansu Fati is in the squad; that's the news I have been waiting on all week, and I hope he does get enough playing time to show what exactly he can do. All the high profile absentees would give Barcelona an appraisal of their handling of lamasia. I believe the young lads would be impressive, Betis might be too big a team for experiments, but such true tests produces game winners.

I didn't watched their match, but results like this one reminds me previous season.
While Barca will face difficult opponent - Real Betis. I remember we lost against them at home last season. They have some interesting new players like Nabil Fekhir, but on the other hand they lost many important players during transfer window - Firpo, Lo Celso, Boudeboz and few others. It's going to be interesting.

I'm quite positive of Barcelona winning tomorrow, obviously Betis have always been a hard nut to crack for Barcelona, and It's definitely going to tougher tomorrow with several stars including Messi, Suarez and Dembele still unavailable for selection.

As a Barca "Fan" I am very happy to see Real failing like this... Cheesy Not being able to win at home vs Valladolid is kinda pathetic actually...
You better hope Barca win their Match tomorrow otherwise your "happiness" will be short lived  Grin

Otherwise... I still don't see Real Madrid as title contenders. well I am still basing on their performance in Preseason Matches. They still have a lot of work to do especially defense wise.

The second match for Real Madrid on Laliga 19/20 is upon Valladolid. I imagine James would get some match time today since Modric is suspended. Hazard still needs to wait for Laliga debut. I am looking forward to seeing the performance of Bale especially. I expect Zidane and Bale to sort out their peculiar problems and make the club stronger.

My prediction for today game is RMA 3-0 VAL

I thought it would be an easy game for Real Madrid prior to the game, but it took Madrid 82 minutes before they could score a goal and yet are unable to defend their lead. It's 1 - 1 and two minutes plus stoppage time to go.

Definitely not the game anyone had hoped for, Except for the Valladolid's fans.

Ousmane Dembele is reportedly absent from the medical examination after the match against Athletic Bilbao. Barcelona called really disappointed with his behavior.

Dembele was in the spotlight due to a hamstring injury to his left leg, after the match against Bilbao in the first week of the Spanish League 2019/2020 last week. The club also plans to hold a medical examination to him on Saturday (8/17).

However, Dembele is reportedly absent from the examination. The French player even reportedly chose to fly to Senegal with his family, before finally undergoing medical tests on Monday (19/8)

Harkorede, I watched a little of the Villarreal match and that's football for you, isn't it? I've seen enough of a good side dominate the match only to lose to decisions like that (Barca vs Real last season twice!). But I think it wasn't unfair. All the penalties were legitimate so Villarreal should learn from this and maybe not get so aggressive in the box in defense.

Did anyone watch Levante vs Villarreal match ? I didn't see game but going by the flashscore.com informations, I'm wondering how on earth were Levante handed 3 penalties in just the 2nd half alone, of which they were able to convert 2 of them to secure 3 points.
It was very strange match. Villarreal dominated totally, but they somehow managed to lose. Levante just made few dangerous attacks during whole match and earned two prnalties. First penalty was saved by goalkeeper, but he stepped from goal line before kick, so Levante had to repeat penalty and then they scored.

Actually there was nothing strange about the match. It's just that Levante has more luck getting 2 penalties at once. Well, penalties are obtained from violations. So this is purely like a match in general.

This new LA liga season promises to be exciting we had already seen an upset with athletico Bilbao beating the LA liga champions and Real Madrid despite the red card still one there match. Still it's going to be a two horse race as always

I would not rule Atletico Madrid out, since both Barcelona and Real Madrid still look unconvincing.

Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez were almost wasted from Real Madrid's squad. However, these players are now starting to be taken into account by coach Zinedine Zidane.
Bale was finally played by Zidane, when Madrid defeated Celta Vigo 3-1 in the first week of the 2019/2020 Spanish League last week.

Bale's performance against Celta Vigo was quite satisfying for Zidane. The Frenchman admitted he was happy with Bale, who was diligent in attacking and defending in the match.

The Bale situation at Real is a weird one, he’s done so much for that club but doesn’t get the respect I feel he deserves.
He’s not going to leave though is he, he’s on massive wages there that nobody else will match. Both parties are just going to have to make it work.
Unfortunately in most cases that how ungrateful Real Madrid can be at times, supporters inclusive.

I remember even one of the greatest Critstiano Ronaldo got criticized at some points just because of his attitude(you how emotional CR7 can be, when he is not happy he does not hide it)
So he would then get criticized for being arrogant etc.

Many Legends whom you would feel would retire at Real Madrid have thus ended going elsewhere where they feel they are appreciated and i feel that's one of the major reason went to Juventus.

Yeah right! Bale looks incredible again, going by the last game against Celta Vigo, He could play pivotal role for Real Madrid if they're to succeed this season.
I hope Barcelona can get themselves together before the first El Çlassico.
If indeed Zidane is to give Gareth Bale a chance this season, which I doubt he will, he will have to keep replicating the form he showed against Celta. Even if Zidanes first stint as reals coach, there were matches bale showed purpose, one being in the UCL final against Liverpool, but all this didn't succeed in winning him over in the heart of the manager, let's see how it goes this time around.

Barca would definitely bounce back from their loss, I think the battle for the Spanish title this season would be one to the most intriguing, with Barca,madrid and athletico all gunning for the trophy.
Bale has always shown himself to be a great player whenever he is not being plagued by injuries but for some odd reason, Zidane has never been a fan though he is by far way better than most of the players at Real Madrid. It's unfortunate that didn't let him leave to China when the move was almost complete, It would be a great injustice if he is relagated to the bench once again this season.

If I am not mistaken, Bale didn't want to move on China. Real was ready to sell him and even the huge salary that he was going to earn in the Chinese League, he refused a transfer there as he wanted to keep playing in the European football.

Earlier rumors related to Bale to the Chinese league almost occurred. Because the process is slow and the Chinese league has closed the transfer season which makes Bale not go there.

Bale became one of the players offered by Real Madrid officials to PSG in exchange with Neymar, but that was rejected by PSG.

So, now Bale will remain in Real Madrid and hopefully he will continue to play well and not disappoint Zidane.

Bale is a top class player and he should be playing regularly for Real Madrid, if given the chance he can help Real Madrid win the league title and Champions League too. However it’s an open secret that Zidane treated him badly during this transfer window, hence it’ll be interesting to see if Bale gets regular game time. Barcelona will need Messi to fire them up on Sunday, as reports indicate he’ll be fit for the clash against Real Betis.
