Barcelona are stronger and are performing better than Girona too so they have better chance to beat Girona in coming match. It will be a big test for Girona but they are strong mentally as shown in last season and this season too. Big test is tough but Girona are not fearful and they can go through a big test with good result even the opponent is Barcelona.
I am sure that Barcelona will beat Girona, the year Girona was good was last year, they are not looking as strong this season and I think Barcelona looks much better this season as well. They are getting more leaner and they are learning to deal with their financial issues, sending away some players.
I agree with you that Barcelona will defeat Girona easily because they aren't as strong as last season. With the current form of Barcelona, it is clear that Flick has improved the team performance and we saw it from their previous matches how they performed brilliantly.

Girona will finally be disappointed at themselves for making a wrong decision by selling their key players and still feel that they will be able to maintain their performance to be like last season. If Gitona does not find a way a improve their team, they will be finish in a poor position at the end of the season.

Real Madrid is the biggest and most successful club in the world and Kylian Mbappe is very much aware of that so you don't expect him to bring whatever sort of arrogance he was exhibiting in Paris Saint Germaine to the club. Real Madrid is bigger than any player in that current squad and can as well do without a any player in the current squad. Kylian Mbappe came to the club to win trophies and I'm very confident that he'll concentrate in giving his best to the club instead of trying to be worshipped and adored by the club management.

There's no doubt about it. I personally think the same as you, except that from the beginning many of us had doubts about Mbappé's arrival at Madrid because the player was a very arrogant person, but as everyone has said, that was because of the power that the sheikh gave him within the team and well, that was something that we saw and it was evident, so in this case things were different, but as we have already said, now he is in Madrid and Spain is not France and Madrid is Madrid, things change there, given this Mbappé has adapted very well and that ego that we thought we could see no longer exists.

and now:

I am sure that Barcelona will beat Girona, the year Girona was good was last year, they are not looking as strong this season and I think Barcelona looks much better this season as well. They are getting more leaner and they are learning to deal with their financial issues, sending away some players.

The possibility of Barcelona winning over Girona is on the high side because Barcelona have significantly improved their performance since the beginning of this season whereas Girona have underperformed in their last few matches in this season. If it was last season like you mentioned above, one could debate this the more but with the way Girona have been performing poorly lately, it will be a bit difficult for them to match up with the Barcelona guys here.

I wish Girona could at least hold them to a draw but even that does not seem to be realistic since barca has improved significantly on their delivery this season. Making it increasingly difficult for the Girona side to win against them. I think it will be a thing of wonders to see Girona win against the Barcelona side in their challenge.

They are getting more leaner and they are learning to deal with their financial issues, sending away some players.

I think it's clear that the yare going to get better if they keep this up, so far they won all their games if I remember right and Girona shouldn't be any different, they have a chance to win that game too. I get that we are going to see something changing, I think we are going to see what could be done with what we have, and that should be something we can definitely work with, that's the most important part.

Girona is looks average but too early to speak on that, they don't look sharp like last season. In fact it's Barcelona that is doing what they did last season while Girona has taken the place of Barlona last season and it makes make wonder how long Barcelona will go without losing a match in this season. However, we shouldn't underestimate Girona, even though they don't look sharp they have only loss one game and draw one, it's possible they can still pull some things possibly.

I also observed that all the team Barcelona has featured and played their match, none of them are sitting above 5th place in the standing, Girona will be the 5th team in the Laliga to be played against. So, it's wouldn't be accurate if we think Barcelona has arrived until they played other top teams like them, that's when we can consider them as team that will go hire most especially the El clasico with Real Madrid.

Girona isn't as bad as people think they are, not that they are great but they are not terrible neither. We should realize that we are talking about a team that can do fine, it is not really that crazy for them to do fine.
It's clear that we are going to see Girona finish in top six at worst case, I am not expecting fourth place easily this time, but there aren't really six better teams than them. Of course something could go wrong, have some injuries, some bad streak and so forth which could make them worse, but if I have to rank them by talent then I would say top six for Girona right now for club value.

In the end, football is played on the field and not on paper, no matter how teams look, we need to decide on the field and how they play. If they do fine then we are going to see something changing, lets see how they improve and how they could have something that would be very cool. I know that it is going to be tough, but we can make that work somehow.

The Miraculous Return of Bellingham, Militao, and Tchouaméni

Éder Militao, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Jude Bellingham rejoined group training after recovering from their respective injuries, and they are pushing to be ready for the return of LaLiga. Real Madrid will visit Real Sociedad this Saturday in San Sebastián. For this match, David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga, and Dani Ceballos are confirmed to be out due to injury.

The Santiago Bernabéu is the World's Best Stadium of 2024

Along with the return of the last international players —Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin and Brazilian forwards Vinícius Jr, Rodrygo Goes, and Endrick— Carlo Ancelotti received the good news of the return of three key players from his starting eleven.

Militao, who could not play with Brazil due to a muscle overload in the rectus femoris of his right leg, might be available to reinforce a defense in which only Antonio Rüdiger is at 100%. Rüdiger even declined the call-up from the German national team to focus on his club.

very soon Real Madrid will start bringing what we are expected to see with them, I know we felt so disappointed with the way they are playing, doesn't mean they will under perform if this players went for all season?

I saw some people comparing Vinicius Junior to other great Brazilian players or legends such as Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Neymar. Honestly this comparison style doesn't make sense at all.

Vinicius Junior still has a lot of work to do to reach those players' level. Are you just kidding?  Grin  I'm not even talking about Ronaldinho - Ronaldo duo. They were just insanely good. And Neymar, I believe he is much more talented than Vini.

Vini should adapt to playing coherently with Mbappe first. If both of them play selfish then Vini can't also improve his game more. But if he continues to gradually improve, I believe one day he can also be among the best players.
Vinicius is a good striker, but his formation took place in Real, when he came to this team he was not famous, but he was able to achieve a high status in Real. In games for the national team, he does not show anything impressive, but in fairness it should be said that the Brazilian national team is currently experiencing a decline, so it seems that he is worse than those players you wrote about. Vinicius is talented in his own way and is very important for Real, I think that his value is precisely in this, he may not have unique dribbling, but he definitely has a sense of goal.
He has a very high positioning ability. Vinicius knows how to be in the right place at the right time. He is one of the important names for Real Madrid. In fact, I can say that he was the most important player of the team before Mbappé came. He is one of the two players that I expect to carry the team with Mbappé right now. He is one of Ancelotti's most valuable weapons in the attacking line. It is not his problem that he does not play successful matches with the Brazilian national team. If he is very good at Real Madrid but plays at an average level in the national match, I think this shows that the national team manager is not good. Ancelotti knows how to use him.

In the 4 matches that have been played by both teams, Barcelona is clearly quite superior because they were able to end the match by winning. While Real Madrid got perfect results because they have not lost but the draw in two matches made their performance less than optimal at the beginning of this season. Of course, these two teams will continue to compete tightly this season because the two teams are always favored to be champions. I am amazed by the Barcelona coach because he can show his expertise in bringing progress to the team.
This means that Real Madrid did not get perfect results in these 4 matches, but it was an unsatisfactory result.  Getting 8 points from 4 matches is not the result most expected by Real Madrid and its fans, of course because of the depth of their squad and the quality of their play. If this benchmark is used, then Real Madrid should be better than Barcelona, ​​but in fact it is not.

Even so, I am quite sure that there will be mistakes that they will make this season that could result in losing points. Maybe to see how strong they are, of course we have to see these teams face each other this season, the El Clasico match is always an assessment of how strong they are in maintaining their good performance. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid is also able to maintain its best quality, well, a major overhaul was carried out by Atletico Madrid in the transfer market and we want to see them able to provide interesting competition this season.
Barcelona and Real Madrid and every other team will lose as the season progresses. Not necessarily in a match that is considered tough against a strong team, sometimes even a weak team can beat you with its defensive strategy. Teams like that only need 1 goal before they defensive completely until the end of the match, so it will make teams that are considered strong experience frustration throughout the match.

Barcelona's improved performance at the start of this season raises good hopes for expecting a tight title competition. The El Clasico match will be highly anticipated, of course because both teams can compete without bias like last season. However, Barcelona has many young players who can actually make them lose their good performance at any time.

There are 2 positive news for the Catalan club this week



1.
Where Gavi presence in the training session is something that Barcelona fans have been waiting for. Considering that he has been absent for quite a long time, it is hoped that he can fully recover and return to strengthen the team. Not only Gavi who was present, Ansu Fati also took part in the training. I think Hansi Flick must continue to monitor the condition of these 2 players and it is estimated that the match against Girona could be a suitable match for Gavi to start back. and

2. Regarding Barcelona financial situation, according to ESPN that Barcelona spending limit has increased and is estimated at €222 million, the core of this situation is that Barcelona can recruit players freely. As we know, Barcelona has experienced restrictions for several seasons due to exceeding the maximum limit starting from salaries, bonuses, etc.

Andriy Lunin signs new Real Madrid contract extension until 2028


Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin has signed a new three-year contract with the club.
The Athletic previously reported that the Ukraine international, who had one year left on his contract, was expected to stay at the club during the summer transfer window and was close to agreeing a new deal.

He has now signed a new contract with Madrid that will keep him at the Santiago Bernabeu until 2028.
Madrid and Lunin reached a verbal agreement over a new deal before the end of last season.

However, the 25-year-old had doubts about extending his stay at the Spanish club due to Courtois’ importance and the lack of playing time he might receive as a result.

Lunin joined Madrid from FC Zorya Luhansk in 2018 with a contract until 2024. In 2019, he renewed until 2025 — although the deal was not officially announced by the club.
Source link: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5760291/2024/09/11/real-madrid-andiry-lunin-contract-extension/

I still think he has made the right decision. Because Courtois is 32. So there is a chance that Real Madrid is going to give Lunin a little more playing time in the recent future. And if the main goalkeeper Courtois gets injured, there are going to be a lot of chances for Lunin to show his skill. But again, that’s the catch. He has to wait for the main goalkeeper to be injured for himself to get some good amount of play time or if he does end up leaving, he is not going to find another club like Real Madrid. And even if he does he’s not going to be the striker in that club anyway. So it is better to stay with Real Madrid in my opinion.

Xavi left in disappointment and Flick came with a squad that at least Xavi had built quite well despite the club's financial constraints. Now what Flick is doing is perfecting the legacy of the previous coach in a fairly satisfying way. I admit that Barcelona in Flick hands is inseparable from Xavi intervention in the past. Barcelona players are very mature even though they are still young but can adapt very quickly to the new coach. That is their advantage in the midst of financial shortcomings, there is always something that differentiates them from clubs whose finances are stable but whose players cannot be more mature and independent.
A very key fact here is that xavi did mad a solid foundation already before he left so most other coaches who may come after him wouldn't have a very tedious job to do expect they jeopardize the foundation instead of consolidating upon it, then they will get Barcelona to another messy state to do a scratch start all over but then Flick doesn't seem to be in that path, he's rather consolidating well upon that which he's leveraging some advantage and has propelled Barcelona to an obvious commendable strat for the season. The reason I will strongly say it's all on xavis foundation is because the financial mess isn't totally cleaned up and improvements are visible and ofcourse that was what xavi did almost all through his stay, if flick where to be there initially, probably it wouldn't have been this easy but then what matters the most is in the progress they are making already so far.

To be honest, I would say between agree and disagree. The reason is, I think that Xavi aims to repeat Barcelona's playing style like the Pep Guardiola era. Even with his style and characteristics, unfortunately Xavi failed to further improve Barcelona in the following season. Well, apart from the fact that he had difficulty recruiting the players he wanted. IMO, Barcelona actually has a foundation with their philosophy. Every coach who handles Barca, only continues it. Including Hansi Flick who carries the same philosophy but with a different packaging. Xavi's era is over with Barcelona, ​​as a supporter I still appreciate him, especially since he presented one La Liga trophy. In the Flick era, he had stated to several media that he would implement Pep Guardiola's style. But that doesn't mean he will imitate Pep's characteristics, because Flick is a coach who has many tactics and experience. I remember Flick's statement before La Liga started, he said that it would be a challenge for him to bring Barcelona to be much better. Even though the progress was quite good in four matches in La Liga, he was still not satisfied to further improve the performance of the squad he coached. Well, now we have a coach who at least gives us hope that Barcelona will be better.

It is still very early to draw conclusions like that in just four matches because currently Girona itself is not in a worse position than other teams because from the four matches that Girona has played, the team is currently in the top five of the standings and it is very possible that Girona can reach a much better position because there are many matches that have not been played this season. Meanwhile, Barcelona is indeed a good team, even though last season the team did not win a single trophy under Xavi's coaching, but this season Barcelona has shown their ability again to be a title contender in La Liga.
I am sure Xavi would have finished the season better if he hadn't struggled with injuries last year. They had already won the championship the season before. I think Xavi is being treated unfairly. The new manager started the league well but we don't know if he will continue. It is unfair to say that he is better than Xavi with a few games he played. Xavi left him a team that was sitting on the dock but when he took over his own team, Barcelona was in ruins.
Xavi's case is an old story, yes he was not given a fair treatment at Barcelona because he won them a trophy and should've been given more time and backed by the board, but they made their decision and brought in this recent coach who has more experience than him when it comes to managerial role and so far he's doing a great job, I'm pretty sure that he'll succeed at Barcelona, the only thing for fans to worry about is injury crisis, it hit the club so bad last season and that's why their performance wasn't as expected but one thing I love about Barcelona is that even in their worst form they'll still manage to finish in the top four effortlessly. Hansi Flick is a very good manager with lots of experience, he's been successful in the past in both domestic and top league games, he's won about 7 trophies which includes major ones like Champions league, Super Cup and Club World Cup and I believe that with such experience, Barcelona team is in safe hands. So far, i've seen improvements from their previous games against inferior clubs and I believe they'll do better against top clubs in the league, their next match is away from home against Girona, it's not going to be an easy one but with Barcelona's current form they might win or draw that game.

In the next few days the league will start again after the international break and I have two matches that are the main options to follow and make one of the team from both matches as the favorite.
Real Sociedad against Real Madrid and this is an away match for Real Madrid but they are still the favorites and are really favored even though in the two matches at the beginning of this season they had draw with only against the lower team, Real Madrid will still be the favorite for everyone.
Girona against Barcelona is the second match that I will follow and I think this will be an interesting match because Girona plays at home and Barcelona itself is team that can win from four matches at the beginning of the season, for this match I think Girona can give surprise, I predict the result might be draw or narrow win for Barcelona.




The odds seem absolutely correct and very very attractive to me.
I think I want to open a sort of Spanish branch of my betting, in my opinion it can be done well here too.
Furthermore, I think that Real Madrid are really obliged to win otherwise the advantage starts to become very much Barcelona's.

The odds are worth betting on for Real Madrid to win here. This makes it more interesting because next match real society is going to face against real madrid in this match real madrid will definitely win the match by seeing the best performance in it. Real Madrid will be bound to win the above match as they must do well in this match to compete with Barcelona.

I dont trust so much Girona this season if you ask me, they dont seem in the same mood like in the last year, plus this kind of little teams not make two consecutive seasons at super top level, you can look into every case, and always they strugled so much to maintain the previous level.

But i also think they are gonna remain in the top 10 of the league.

I also think so. They will probably stay in the top 10 but it looks like they are not going to have as good a season as last year. It wouldn't be the first time that a team with such a poor history has spent several seasons fighting for the top, as happened with Deportivo de la Coruña some time ago, for example, but it's certainly something exceptional.

Girona can still be said to be a mediocre team but Girona still managed to be in the top five at the start of this season, so of course it is a good result for Girona at the start of this season. But indeed, because in the next match Girona will play against Barcelona, ​​then it will still be a difficult match for Girona, because Barcelona in this moment is also the only team in La Liga that has managed to get four wins.
They made big shock in La Liga last season and are doing great performances in early matches this season. It's really hard for Girona to finish this season in top four again but their early matches are very promising. Maybe they won't complete in top four but top six and a ticket to UEFA Europa League next season is a possible target for Girona. They can grow up and increase their competitiveness with time and become a new Sevilla in La Liga.

I'm also not quite sure that Girona will be able to repeat their success last season because they let Artem Dovbyk go to Roma. I think Artem Dovbyk has made a big contribution last season and he is also the top scorer. Girona made the mistake of letting him leave just to get 30 million euros. They should have gotten more than that, so they could have more options in bringing in new players.

Girona started this season not so impressively in 4 matches at the beginning of this season they have experienced 1 defeat and 1 draw so the conclusion is that Girona this season is not better than last season, it is clear that there is a difference so that what happened last season cannot be used as a reference and Barcelona has actually been much better this season with all the changes they made making them now appear much stronger even though some matches at the beginning of the season also cannot be used as a reference. And for this weekend's match I think Barcelona will be very favored and they have a large percentage to win the match even though the match will be played at Girona's home ground.
It is still very early to draw conclusions like that in just four matches because currently Girona itself is not in a worse position than other teams because from the four matches that Girona has played, the team is currently in the top five of the standings and it is very possible that Girona can reach a much better position because there are many matches that have not been played this season.

At the beginning of the season, I wasn't happy about Xavi's departure though I used to prefer him over Flick but with Flick's performance so far I must say I'm impressed even at the pre-season staged, though we are still early into the whole paparazzi but it's really a good start and we expect something more from him(winning his First Laliga trophy in Barca should be one of it).

Xavi has coached Barcelona well and has made Barcelona win the title and I am the same as you and to be honest at that time I personally also thought that Xavi's departure would make Barcelona lose its performance but yes now the German coach has proven himself that he can improve Barcelona's performance good and can continue Xavi's struggle well.

Of course, it cannot be denied that Barcelona's start to this season has been very impressive and of course the hope of becoming LaLiga champions this season has great potential for Barcelona. but of course we'll see what happens with Barcelona in the next match and we'll see whether Hansi Flick will be able to make Barcelona consistently win or not, but what is clear is that the hope of Barcelona fans now wants to see Barcelona become champions this season and of course now Hansi Flick certainly must try to make it happen and if Hansi Flick can make Barcelona fans' dreams come true, of course Barcelona fans will be proud to have coach Hansi Flick. Yes, we'll see whether Hansi Flick will be able to win his first trophy in Laliga or not.

But of course I can't wait to see Barcelona's match against Real Madrid and if, for example, Barcelona can win the El Clasico match, of course there is a big possibility that Barcelona will be able to win the title this season, but it is certainly not an easy thing to play against Real Madrid. but unfortunately the match is still a long time away.

I was not going to start talking about the past of Barcelona but we know Xavi was a good coach, he started working in Barcelona as a young coach while he was not experienced enough and Barcelona was his first team in Europe but still, he won the title of La Liga with Barcelona which is a great achievement for him.
But he wanted to make huge changes in this team and making all these changes could cost a lot for Barcelona, that's why Barcelona got him fired from the team because they didn't have the enough money to give him enough tools while now Flick has the same station in Barcelona.

But indeed, if we consider the head to head results in the last two seasons, then Girona looks better but maybe, with head to head results like that it will be a trigger for Barcelona to beat Girona at this moment.
Barcelona are stronger and are performing better than Girona too so they have better chance to beat Girona in coming match. It will be a big test for Girona but they are strong mentally as shown in last season and this season too. Big test is tough but Girona are not fearful and they can go through a big test with good result even the opponent is Barcelona.
