Yes of course the comparison is comparable to the condition of the two teams, because the problems faced are very opposite. But I salute what Barcelona has done and especially to Hansi Flick I take my hat off to him because he was able to do an extraordinary job in the midst of the team's poor financial condition. This season, Blaugrana could have talked a lot if they managed to maintain their consistency but the season is still very long and Real Madrid is still a team that is always able to show something until the end of the season.

To be honest, there were a lot of discussions before the start of the season about how Real Madrid's players would cause Barcelona to have a poor season. However, in their last four games, Barcelona proved us wrong, showing us that being consistent in games matters more than having star players. If someone had predicted that Barcelona would defeat an opponent this season with seven goals, I would disagree, because this wasn't the Barcelona we saw in the previous season. Their performance changes by Flick's presence, with only one player addition, the squad was able to grow and become stronger than we could have ever thought.

Barcelona are going to have a chance to win the league if they are consistent and no players get injured this season. Barcelona performance was bad last season due to the injured players they had, and they lacked enough money to get the players they wanted.

Hansi Flick is really doing great job for Barcelona as not many people believed in the ability of the coach but now that he is making progress I think people will begin to see him differently from the way he was viewed at first and since Barcelona is not financially stable and to see that they are doing pretty good so far is really applaudable but however, it's early to start making comparisons between Xavi and Hansi Flick, until Barcelona faces more stronger teams and win then they will have solid reasons to maintain their standards in the la Liga. The champions league might still be a bit difficult for Barcelona since for some seasons now they haven't really made their way through in the competition but let's see how it goes this time around because since they started well in league games they can as well channel same energy in the champions league.

They have very good results so far and are leading La Liga with very impressive beginning. Years ago Xabi began a season with La Liga trophy in a similar way and Barcelona fans have reasons to hope that they will take La Liga trophy again with Hansi Flick after getting very good start. Good results come together with very good tactical operations and player performances individually, they are all good so far.

Hansi Flick succeeded with Bayern Munich, won Champions League title with the German club but he failed with German national team. Anyway, he is a good coach and so far he has good show in Barcelona from tactical and playing style to results. He will have many matches to complete in order to take La Liga trophy but early signals are very good for him and Barcelona in this season. They will be challenged seriously by Real Madrid that won't give up La Liga trophy too easily to any club in Spain.

At the moment hansi flick is still able to maintain their performance in maintaining victory and of course it is quite surprising that we remember Barcelona had a lot of problems before the league started, hansi flick in my opinion managed to continue Xavi's previous performance well and managed to modify Barcelona's game a little bit to be better at the moment, but I think we also can't deny that the league journey is still too long and the busy schedule seems to be a test for barcelona later in testing their mentality and consistency, I think for now Hansi Flick must be able to take advantage of the momentum that exists when Madrid has not been able to find their best performance to be able to go as far as possible to run in the league, because if Madrid rises later, of course it will be difficult for Barcelona to be able to compete with the Los Galatikos squad in trophies compete.

When Flick took over as manager, Guardiola said he liked the way the team played under his leadership, but at that time I doubt that anyone could believe that Barcelona would win all the opening games, and at the same time Real would play so uncertainly in attack. This is just the beginning, I think Ancelotti is able to get Real to play more consistently, maybe it is even better that it happened at the beginning of the season and this will make Real take Barcelona more seriously.

Although some players are injured, the rest of the team will certainly do well for the team and they will cope well with Madrid's defeats. The substitute players that Real Madrid keeps in their club and these substitute players are the players who can get a place in the starting eleven of all other clubs in Europe, so even if some of the main players of Real Madrid get injured, then Real Madrid will do well. Real Madrid have played a few matches in La Liga where they have managed to earn full points in multiple matches and they have drawn two matches. But it's early in the season, there's still a long way to go and if they're a bit off the top of the points table now then they can recover that points gap with any team.

That's what we've been waiting for, where Barcelona is fighting against another big team. what's interesting is the match against Girona, where in two meetings last season Barcelona was destroyed by Michel's team. from those two meetings, Barcelona conceded eight goals in two matches. this is a challenge for Flick, where he has to beat Girona in an away match. although Girona's performance is not as good as last season, which has an extraordinary performance. based on the betting exchange, Barcelona is clearly more favored. on the field later, anything can happen. the next challenge for Flick and his team in the Champions League against AS Monaco, visiting France Barcelona must perform optimally and win the match. well, let's just wait for the two matches that Barcelona will play before we review Barcelona's other matches.

It's true what you say is true that Atletico Madrid is a team that always competes with strong teams in La Liga, like competing with Barcelona and Real Madrid and of course it's a shame that at the start of this season its performance is not what Atletico Madrid fans expect because Atletico fans definitely hope. Madrid, of course, Atletico Madrid must get 12 points from 4 matches and of course they should be able to win against Espanyol. Atletico Madrid should be able to win because of course Espanyol is a new team in the 2024-2025 season and Atletico Madrid should also be able to win against Villarreal because last season Villarreal was ranked. is under Atletico Madrid.

but I personally see the strength of Atletico Madrid, of course it can be said to be good because of course being able to get 8 points from 4 matches is certainly not too bad and now Atletico Madrid in the standings is in 3rd place and of course there is still plenty of time for Simeone to improve Atletico Madrid so that it is better. good again.

Yes, I hope so too and I hope the Atletico Madrid players can all work together well. but honestly, I am sure that the squad that Atletico Madrid currently has will make their performance continue to be good and the many good new players at Atletico Madrid in my opinion will definitely make them perform better in the next match and I am sure that Atletico Madrid will compete with Real again. Madrid and Barcelona to fight for the title.

That's why it is very funny to conclude what will become of a football team in a particular season, with the financial crisis and the deficit of player in Barcelona team no one will ever believe that they will start very good this season but fortunately we are seeing a different thing which is to say that anything can be possible since the season is still fresh, despite that Barcelona is at the top of the season currently that doesn't mean that Real Madrid or any other team can't top them, although I can't argue the fact that Real Madrid didn't start the season well but I believe that thing may still change as time goes on, am only bothered or concerned when a team start flopping at the middle of the season not really at the early stage because it is not easy to recover when the season has gone that far, I somuch trust Real Madrid manager in the person of Carlo anceloti because of his experience and track records in football coaching, soon things may change. I agree with you that if Barcelona continue with their recent performance, real Madrid may not meet up with them but we know how these things are and we also know that time shall tell if Barcelona can actualized this assumed consistency this season.

Regardless of the close positions of the two teams, it certainly makes Barcelona, ​​who have higher points, still considered unsafe. They certainly need continuous wins to be more free to occupy the top of the standings. Imao the pressure is on Barcelona to continue not to be careless while Madrid faces the challenge of being able to recover from the situation. The reason Madrid is challenged is because before the season started everyone was very optimistic about the squad they built, therefore there is no other choice but to prove that many people's expectations of Madrid squad this season must be fulfilled.
Madrid is currently in a player crisis but at least their finances can speak more, while Barcelona, ​​​​whether they want to or not, the tight schedule needs to do a lot of saving energy and players because the club's finances are in a situation that does not allow aggressive spending anymore.

Barcelona's performance at the beginning of this season has indeed surprised many people after they were a little doubted because of the problems they are facing, but Hansi Flick has indeed been quite successful in making Barcelona's performance much better, but their consistency is still questionable because so far Barcelona has also faced strong opponents so that at this time, especially at the beginning of this season, we cannot measure their true strength.

With Barcelona's good performance at the beginning of this season, it indicates that the competition for the La Liga title this season will be much fiercer than last season and regarding Real Madrid's slump, I think it is not a serious problem because the Madrid team has everything to be able to rise even better.

Barcelona and Hansi Flick have really succeeded in making a good record at the start of the season. Apart from that, they are the only team that continues to win at the start of this season. They are also the current top scorers. I had doubts about Xavi being replaced by Hansi Flick. But it looks like the club's decision was the right one. And I have to admit that I was wrong in my assessment of this coach. Because he seems to be making unusual moves in the transfer market. But we can see the results now. And yes, Hansi Flick deserves an award if he can continue to achieve positive results with Barcelona this season. I hope not only in Laliga but I hope Barcelona can also shine in the Champions League. because it has been a long time since Barcelona reached the top of the Champions League. And I think this season they should do it.

Before the start of the 2024 25 season, Barcelona did not look like a very strong team. Due to the way Real Madrid built the team, a competitive team like Real Madrid was not second in La Liga but the new season has started with Barcelona performing well compared to Real Madrid. When discussing the performances of Barcelona and Real Madrid, Barcelona's success in the first four matches will certainly not be at the center of the discussion. Barcelona have won four out of the first four matches and they are at the number one position in the points table while Real Madrid are at the second position in the points table with 4 points less than Barcelona. 
Falling four points behind at the start of the season means a lot and if Barcelona are consistent, Real Madrid will not be able to recover this point gap even if they perform well later on.

Mbappe shown his great talent since he was very young as a teenager in Monaco, and continued to show his world class ability in PSG through many years and more than that with his national team in many big tournaments. The transfer to Real Madrid is a first step to achieve his dream that includes many targets, playing for his favorite club Real Madrid, getting chances to win big titles. He is in a right place already but there are many challenge for him to go through and win titles. He needs to work friendly with the coach and his team mates, and should not show his high ego and disrespect his team mates as it is not good for his career in Real Madrid.

The bigger challenge for Ancelotti at this moment is dealing with many injured players that is not his expectation when the season began. He needs to manage the team going through this hard time with acceptable results and waiting for injured star players to come back.

I don't have doubt on ability of Ancelotti in tactics because he is a great and successful coach with long coach career in many big clubs, Juventus, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid now. Having many injured players at the same time is always big trouble for any coach and sometimes a head coach can succeed to get good results but other times fail with bad results. I believe Ancelotti will help Real Madrid to exit this mini crisis successfully.

The mistake against Las Palmas must not be repeated by Real Madrid in this match, winning the match against Real Sociedad later is a must if Real Madrid wants to stay close to Barcelona who are currently at the top of the standings, 3 points must be prioritized because if Real Madrid makes a mistake of course it will have an impact on the points difference which is far from Barcelona. However, Ancelotti's team in this case must not underestimate Real Sociedad, they can provide a surprise and considering that Real Madrid is currently experiencing injury problems, Real Madrid's strength will decrease in the match against Sociedad later, it can be said that the match later is a test for Real Madrid to be able to achieve positive results.

There is no doubt that Mbappe is a talented player. Mbappe has the ability to score a lot of goals. We haven't seen Mbappe play well in the first three games of the season. However, Mbappe managed to score two goals in the fourth match. Madrid won 2-0 against Real Betis and Mbappe scored both goals. Mbappe is slowly adapting himself to the Madrid players.

But Ancelotti's main challenge at the moment is trying to keep his squad's performance stable in the next few matches. Because right now several players in Madrid's squad are facing injuries. And we haven't seen so many important players of Madrid facing injuries at the same time in the last few years. And finding a suitable replacement is now the biggest challenge for Ancelotti. As many players are injured, Ancelotti is unable to apply any new formation or match strategy. Madrid will need a long time to find strong form again. In the next few weeks we will probably see some erratic performances from Madrid.

Players, especially attackers, could have a period of downtime sometime in their careers. During that period, they might not be scoring goals regardless of the hard work they put in. It is also important to note that Mbappe has spent a long time in the French League and might need some time to get used to the La Liga. France recently beat Belgium, but Mbappe played as a substitute; I don't know why the coach decided to keep him on the bench. I suspect that he wants to focus more on his task in Real Madrid because much is expected from him. Mbappe is a gifted player, and he is still young, he has the advantage of working under an experienced coach like Carlo Ancelotti. Give it some time; I guess he will improve.

Well, when you have so many players injured, depth suddenly becomes not that important at all. I am not saying that they are not a squad with depth, they do have depth, but they have like 10 players injured, and at least 5 of them are from starting eleven, so it is not really going to be something that will be easy to handle, we need to focus on getting this team to be a little bit different, and because of that I believe that we are not going to really see them change much on the long term at all.

We need to remember that Real Madrid will get these players back, and when these players are back we are going to see them do quite good, they are not a team that ends up being bad, it just requires another month, after that they will be fine. We do require some people to be careful a bit more from here on out, they can't get injured over and over again, so training is not really a priority right now, they should end up with relaxing a bit more and not pushing the players.

Well, you see that Mbappe has problems scoring goals not only in Real, he also had a bad end of the season in PSG and played badly at the Euro, and nothing has changed in Real, he is still going through some kind of crisis, maybe it is connected with the long process of leaving PSG, but a lot of time has passed since then and he should have recovered after that. Sometimes it happens that a forward changes the championship and can no longer score as much as before, but in the case of Mbappe we see that this is not only in La Liga, he is now having difficulties in the national team too.
