Barcelona knocked badly Valladolid and their statistics are showing right now a goal vs ten received. Meanwhile, Barcelona are running alone since the first four rounds with 4 points difference between them and Atletico Madrid.
It seems this first half of the season at least will be for Barcelona until Real Madrid find its way and the right collaboration between the member of the team and especially Kylian Mbappe performance.

The way Barcelona have started this season is admirable. To be honest we thought we would see unstbale performances from Barcelona this season. Because Hansi Flick has made a lot of changes in the team. And there are no experienced players in the squad. But with the help of Hansi Flick, Barcelona have performed brilliantly in the first four matches. Which was beyond our expectations.

Hansi Flick has managed to find the right players for his squad. We see good performances from Yamal, Pedri and Olmo in almost every match. Also because the mutual understanding between the players is very good, Barcelona have been able to maintain consistency. The confidence of the Barcelona players was boosted after the 7-0 win against Valladolid.

On the other hand, Real Madrid, the strongest team in La Liga, has yet to find a truck. Real Madrid have won only one of the three matches. And in all three matches we saw Madrid's weak attack. Despite talented players like Mbappe, Vini and ROdrygo in the squad, Madrid are not able to play well.

Four consecutive wins obtained at the start of this season indicate that Barcelona performance has improved under Hansi Flick control, in those four matches, Barcelona managed to score 13 goals and only conceded 3 goals. This kind of performance is very different compared to last season, Barcelona lost points very easily which made it difficult for them to compete with Real Madrid.

Now the front line is much sharper than before, the game is also very neat and the ball passes are very regular. The three previous wins were obtained from teams that always made it difficult for their opponents, but since being handled by Hansi Flick, these teams are very easy to beat. Their performance that continues to improve in each match indicates that they continue to strive for victory in order to secure the top of the standings. The real toughness will be tested when Barcelona meets Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, if they are able to get through these difficult obstacles, then their chances of winning the La Liga trophy last season are very big.

A good start for Hansi Flick and this is what Barcelona fans were hoping for but they are still worried about Barcelona condition when competing in the UCL. UCL match rules are different from last season and each team must have a tighter match schedule and that means Hansi Flick must really maintain the physical and stable performance of the Barcelona players.
Although I am not a Barcelona fan, I still hope that Hansi Flick team can survive at least until the semi finals in the UCL to give a tense impression. At this time I have to admit that Hansi Flick can have a positive impact and hope that at least the La Liga title must be prioritized to give a sense of pride in the success of bringing in the new coach.

It was a tight match played by both teams, although they looked more cautious in their play. Throughout the match they could hardly create any dangerous chances for their opponents, both Atletico Bilbao and Atletico Madrid. I also thought that this match would end goalless and both teams would get 1 point. But the goal came from Atletico Madrid when the time had entered the extra minute. I think here concentration was a factor which caused Atletico Bilbao to concede, maybe they were quickly satisfied and thought the match was over when there was little time left, but that was what became a problem for them.

I hope they can also show good performance when they are in the Champions League, so the Champions League will be even more interesting to watch. The presence of Hansi Flick in the Barcelona coaching chair has had a positive impact so far, they can show good play and can record victory after victory from the matches they play. With them playing well like this, it's like eliminating the thing that has been talked about a lot about them in the last few seasons, namely their financial problems. This is a positive thing in my opinion, because people no longer talk about something negative about them, but there are positive things that I hear from the conversation every time we talk about Barcelona.

 Barcelona literally went through Real Valladolid yesterday with a 7-0 banger and I wonder these clubs managed to make it to the Laliga because this seems like an easy three points for Barcelona who have been successful in getting all 9 points in three games whereas Real Madrid are still finding themselves.
 I'm sure Hansi Flick will be be pleased by how well his men have been able to deliver but where my concern lies is if they can be able to maintain this fine form and deliver when it matters because this was how they did two seasons back; getting goals, raking points but had to lose to Atletico Madrid when they should have taken the cup.

This year's La Liga season, former champions Real Madrid did not start very well. They have already won just one of the three matches and drawn the remaining two. We don't see them playing in an aggressive mood like last season. Real Madrid's play at the moment looks like they are having trouble connecting other players with Mbappe, who recently joined the club.

Tomorrow, Real Madrid and Real Betis will take to the field to face each other in the fourth match of La Liga. Maybe Real Madrid is going to face a strong opponent because Real Madrid's number of wins against them is very low.

We have just watched four matches played by Barcelona, ​​it is undeniable that Flick has shown his ability to handle Barcelona. thanks to his touch, several Barcelona players have brought out their talents and potential. what I like the most is Raphinha's performance this season. last season, I was not so happy with the performance of this Brazilian international player. but thanks to Flick's touch, he played like a tireless player. so are some of their young players, for example Marc Benal who made his debut with the first team quite well. Marc Casado, the young midfielder that Flick tried to play as the main starter. Pau Cubarsi, he is trusted to fill the defense and has played four matches. well, these young players cannot be demanded with high consistency. they are young players, Flick needs to continue to improve his mentality and performance for the next matches. Barcelona has been in a positive trend for four weeks, but we don't know how their long-term performance will be.

In the Real Madrid camp, Ancelotti's team has not been able to show his extraordinary performance. they have had two draws, and Mbappe has not been able to create his opening goal in La Liga. Don Carlo needs to do something to make his team sharp again, if they keep getting small points then it means the same as letting Barcelona continue to increase their points. Today El Real will host Betis, on paper Madrid is still far superior. But what caught my attention is related to the system that will be implemented by Acelotti, whether he will change his pattern again or stick with the same pattern.

It's too early to say that because basically Real Madrid has been a star-studded team since the past and Mbappe's arrival is not the reason for Real Madrid's poor performance at the beginning of this season, maybe some new players who have joined the team have not been able to adapt and disrupt Real Madrid's overall performance and everything takes time, I think Ancelotti is experienced enough and he knows what to do to get out of a situation like this.

This week against Real Betis will be a proving ground for Real Madrid and I am still quite optimistic that Real Madrid can win this match, especially since the pressure on this team is getting higher now after a series of criticisms they have received and for a team like Real Madrid who has a high mentality I think the pressure will be able to build them up much better.

I hope Real Madrid doesn't lose too many points until they wait for Mbappe to find his rhythm. They were playing better last year. This year they ended the transfer window by signing Mbappe, but Ancelotti must have realized something was wrong after 2 draws in 3 games. The absence of Jude Bellingham seems to have affected Real Madrid a lot.

your opinion is absolutely right and indeed many people predict that Barcelona's strength will decline in performance this season, but it is true that Barcelona's strength is very surprising and honestly I personally also initially doubted Barcelona's strength a little but now seeing the reality at the beginning of this season Barcelona has never lost to the team that is its opponent and of course this is an extraordinary thing.

of course we will not know how long Barcelona will maintain its best performance but what is clear is that I am sure Barcelona will potentially be able to maintain the quality of their good game and Hansi Flick will definitely train his men so that Barcelona continues to perform well. indeed if you look at the opponents that Barcelona has gone through, it is certainly not a very strong opponent but when compared to Real Madrid at the beginning of this season, of course Barcelona is better because they have never lost and have now won 12 points which of course will make all Barcelona players excited.

Hansi Flick's presence is indeed very good and it seems that he will try to make Barcelona better than last season and of course Barcelona is not wrong in choosing a coach like Flick. Yes, Olmo is indeed good and he always scores goals and certainly the presence of Dani Olmo makes the Barcelona squad better and also makes all Barcelona fans proud because Barcelona has Olmo whose playing quality is very good.

Real Madrid is not living up to its expectations this season. From the experience of PSG and Chelsea, I concluded that big players don't bring success to clubs. These two clubs bought some of the best players in the world to enable them to succeed but it led to confusion and disappointment. This is the same situation Madrid is currently facing.

Carlo Ancelotti is an experienced coach but he is facing one of the biggest challenges in his coaching career which is his ability to harness the quality players at his disposal. A close analysis of the game against Las Palmas clearly showed that there is no synergy between the attackers. They were focused on playing as individual players instead of playing as a team. Ancelotti has so much work to do and today's game home against Real Betis will show how good the team has become.      

Barcelona back on track under hansi flick, It feels like seeing barcelona back when it was still coached by pep guardiola, 7-0 is not a small victory, this is crazy,
we know la liga is the most competitive competition every year the competition is always tight small clubs always give surprises, but in this match valladolid was unable to do much in front of barcelona supporters, we see the statistics valladolid was only able to give 4 shots and only 1 was on target, and if barca continues to play like this there is no doubt barca will be able to lift the la liga trophy maybe even ucl this season.
raphinha is increasingly looking sharp and also dani olmo seems to be used to playing with barca his adaptation is quite fast.
this should be a strong warning for real madrid and must immediately rise from the slump if they don't want to be left far behind by barcelona..

I think Real will be happy with the competition and the return of the Clasico to its status as an important game 
At the moment, Real Madrid's problems are purely internal and the results of other clubs do not matter. It is too early to draw conclusions about the whole season, I think Ancelotti will fix the problems. It is funny that Mbappe's expected debut is so weak at the moment (compared to the debut of Ronaldo or Bellingham), but it is unlikely that this puts any pressure on him, Mbappe is already a seasoned veteran.

It's too far to talk about the UCL competition even though Barcelona currently has quite good quality, but I think the most important thing now is how Flick can maintain the stability of this team to remain consistent. Barcelona's performance at the beginning of this season surprised many people because initially they were not favored after experiencing many problems in their team but Flick really managed to bring changes to the team and from what happened at the beginning of this season made Barcelona back to being favored in the competition for the La Liga title, I think that's more important which makes La Liga more competitive.

In addition to being able to make the competition in La Liga even more interesting due to the revival of Barcelona, ​​​​it can also have an impact on the UCL competition because Barcelona is also playing there this season. I also think that Barcelona has improved so much at this time that the team management who chose Flick as the Barcelona team coach was not wrong because Flick has indeed proven to be able to manage his players very well since the beginning of this season.

It's interesting to see Barcelona returning to their winning ways under Hansi Flick. That means the newfound football tactics of Hansi Flick are working for them to have four straight wins so far. However, I want to see Barcelona continue playing as a team and winning matches before Real Madrid picks up as a team to meet up with them in the Laliga title race.

It's quite unfortunate that Real Madrid is starting the league on the wrong note this season under Ancelotti's watch with a decorated player, "Mbappe''. However, Real Madrid can successfully turn around the table to be as formidable as we expected them to be; who knows when? Maybe they will start by, winning against Real Betis today, other match wins will follow thereafter

So far they have been doing well so why would a bad comment about them become something any would want to do? Barcelona is doing great at the moment even if we don't know for sure if they will be able to later maintain this because that has been the mountainous challenge for most teams at all times, been able to maintain the consistency with which they kicked off well till the end of the Season and not stuttering or failing in between. Barcelona is very likely to have an awesome season from the regular we have always known before now and so we don't have to be too concerned this start but the end most likely because their biggest la Liga rivals appear to be suffering now but I know it's not going to be for long.

Is this really the Barcelona we know? Do they want to prove that they will try to break the doubts that have existed so far?

Very happy to see Barcelona's game so open and don't forget they also won with a big score of 7 goals against Valladolid. At first I didn't expect them to be that fierce and we can see now that Hansi Flick is the right coach for Barcelona. If they continue like this against any team then the La Liga title could be won by Barcelona.

In addition, on the scoreboard there is Raphinha who scored a hat trick and as a right winger he is much better this season. I think the arrival of Dani Olmo also increases creativity on the field and Barcelona is spending players appropriately. Well, what would happen to Real Madrid seeing Barcelona at the beginning of the season already crazy like this and this is a strong warning for Los Blancos if their rivals have returned to the right path.
