I also think Las Palmas was very unlucky against Real Madrid. They played well but things did not go their way. Real Madrid got penalty because of lucky bounce and Las Palmas had goal disallowed. Las Palmas goalkeeper was great but Real Madrid did not play well. They were lucky to win and their best players Vini and Mbappe did not do much. If Real Madrid keeps playing like this they will lose to better teams. Las Palmas showed they can play well, even if they didn't win.

There is no denying that Las Palmas' players performed brilliantly in this match. But Las Palmas was very unlucky in this match. Otherwise, the team would have been able to get 3 points from this match.

Real Madrid are a strong team but they completely failed to dominate this match. Real Madrid scored their only goal from the penalty spot. Due to the accidental touch of the ball on the defender of Las Palmas, the Real Madrid team gets a penalty. Moreover, Las Palmas scored another goal in the second half. But the goal was disallowed due to offside. For these reasons I say Las Palmas were very unlucky in this match. But the goalkeeper of Las Palmas performed brilliantly in this match.

Real Madrid's gameplay was not strong. Madrid won't win if they perform like this against the big teams. Madrid launched a lot of attacks. But neither Vini nor Mbappe performed as well as expected.

2 matches you mean. 2 season I a lot of matches  ... though Las pelmas defence was strong  but there wasn't strong communication,  at the same time I won't call anyteam  just a small team I think they all stepped up their games although there're still some clubs comfortable with their positions lol.
Nevertheless,  I think the next 2 matches can help you decide either to continue betting on them or just completely ignoring them, thus don't be dissapointed that they might win when you decide to suspend placing bet on them and come back to loosing when you decide to resume your betting  ... it's actually hard to get a precise speculation even with present results

From what I'm seeing on football channels and the opinions of football analysts, they are in the direction that since Vinicius Junior's contract ends on 06/30/2027 and he is 24 years old, it won't make much sense for Vinicius Junior to accept these proposals from the Saudis because he is very young with a long-term contract and is currently shining, so this is a good chance for him to get many individual awards and after his contract ends when he is already 27 years old and is not in a good moment, then it would be more advantageous for him to accept these millionaire proposals. But in my opinion, I very much doubt that the Saudis will make the same proposal in a few years.

Betting on Real Madrid this season is becoming a huge headache. I'm honestly going to stop betting on them for 2 seasons to see if they'll improve. Their attack is very inefficient, they can't even cause much danger to the opponent.

Palmas did a great game against Madrid. Their players' positions, ball distributions, and off-ball movements are top-tier. That's the work of a great manager. Even Carlo got outsmarted by Palmas's coach this time.

But i don't blame Ancellotti tonight. Our players' laziness and arrogance caused the main issue. This is what happens when we are only depending singlehandedly on individual brilliance. And when we missed this individual, we finished.

I was never epecting how poorly the performance from Real madrid is after Kross left from our club. It's far from what people expected at the Pre-season. Our mid looks so struggle without kroos.

Though Madrid bought Mbappe, and it seems things that worried me is happening now. Mbappe struggle to adapt with his new team.

He's still young to move to Saudi  league, he's currently a key player for realmadrid and I don't  think he would love to throw that away just to play in Saudi league... despite  the fact he he's faving alot from racist I don't think he will still consider leaving RM in the next 3 to 5 years ( considering he has   no issue with the club throught his stay).
Sure it is... let's  wait for 2 more games, their performance  and the outcome of the games will really determine their stand , draw isn’t too much of a big deal ( count===2 already) though I feel like there's isn't s strong communication yet but whatever bets of luck in their games.

Fully agree and I admit I thought they would be much stronger. They got lucky with the penalty in the final minute or otherwise they would have started the season with 4 points after 3 games. Then again I thought Barcelona would be weaker although it is not like they are fully dominating their games either. It's all been pretty close with every game just ending 2-1 in their favor, but still if they win their game, it would be already 7 points between them and Real Madrid just after a few weeks.

But I find it surprising that there is still no goal for Mbappe despite the one he scored in the Super Cup. I expected them to be a serious force and score far more goals than they did so far. But the game against Valladolid was of course strong as they didn't allow for a single shot on target. I am sure that lots of people thought Mbappe would have an easy time scoring once he is playing for Real Madrid, but seems to be more difficult for him.

Honestly with the kind effort that Real Madrid put tonight against the Las palmas I was not expecting the draw from Real Madrid, because almost dominated the entire first half  upon say the Las palmas first scored them they where still leading them by the possession before they come later equalize back. But the way I’m having hope for Real Madrid in every of their they never make better performances as a team that have good squad, because that’s what a lot of people are even proud about since the signed up M’bappe and everyone knows how the good which why on every Real Madrid people will be having higher expectations from them.

After watching the Real Madrid team tonight and how they struggled to get an equalizer against Las Palmas, I think there is a big problem in the team and if they don't get it done they may not even be lifting any trophy this season. I still can't believe that what should be happening to the Barcelona team is happening to a team that everyone has been celebrating for bringing in Mbappe this season it is very very sad to see them finding it difficult to score goals and win games comfortably big shame. Ancelotti still has the time to solve the issues in the team or face the risk of losing the reputation he has gained over the years, so sad that I lost again as a result of picking Real Madrid to win against Las Palmas.

The Spanish La Liga game between Las Palmas vs Real Madrid ended in a draw as none of the two teams was able to find a winner. With the result, Real Madrid have now been able to gather five points from a possible nine and are now four points behind Barcelona. Though we're in the early stages of the season but I feel that these points the Spanish champions are currently losing will likely affect their quest to retain the league title this season.
Kylian Mbappe who's yet to score a league goal after three matches is making headlines for his failure to find the back of the net. However, for a player like Mbappe that I know very well, I think he'll pick form sooner than expected

Real Madrid isn't as good as people thought before the season. Some considered them heavy favorites, but it only took three weeks to realize that this wasn't the case here. We can say that it was Las Palmas who missed out on the win today. Real's inability to score in a flowing game is alarming for them, even more so against a mediocre opponent like Las Palmas.
Barca are now 4 points ahead of their two biggest competitors. A good advantage in 3 weeks, but there are still 35 weeks to go so everything can change.

The retirement of Toni Kroos has a huge effect on this Real Madrid squad. They couldn't control the game as they should have done honestly. Couldn't see all of the full game but it's high time Carlo Ancellotti realize that, Kylian Mbappe is no number nine honestly and that he will always find it difficult to work and function. Endrick should be used as a number nine with both Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe on the various wing's.
I highly doubt the chances they have to win the La Liga Competition thus not to even mention that of the Champions League Competition. Well, they have a long way to go but I'm not convinced with the setup and line. Could it be the absence of Toni Kroos? I saw the game during the first half and even Luka Modric was not able to settle down the midfied same way Toni Kroos does it. Jude Bellingham also in my opinion is not even a good replacement for Toni Kroos.

What I've noticed about the Madrid team this season is that their front three players are not communicating properly amongst themselves, the only match that they've impressed me a little is their 2nd match against Valladolid which even gave then a tough time to be victorious Ancelotti has lots to do concerning that front three especially among Vinicius Jr and Mbappé they barely communicate much with each other and putting their individual records first before the team, if they continue that way it would cost them to continue going down or they might end up scoring fewer goals. Also Ancelotti's selection hindered their chances of winning, he should've start Guler over Modric, and Rodri instead of Brahim and I think Mendy should come in from the 2nd half instead of starting, honestly their squad is capable of winning everything but if they continue wit this performance then winning the league would be far from them, I know it might be too early to say this but they should be gathering more points at this early stages instead of losing.

Ancelotti is trying to make Mbappe a weapon for Real Madrid but I think he is forcing it to happen that's why I said he should have started him from the bench, take a good look at how effective Rodrygo was in the second half when he was introduced, that's how Mbappe would have been if he had come in from the bench but the manage had a different plan so we just have to watch and see if it will make Mbappe come up to speed.



I can't even see that moment of brilliance in the whole Madrid team because they never played like a team that have the squad to dominate their opponent, even at home Madrid can't show that they can make opponent struggle to hold onto the ball then going away would be a problem. At this point I'll say I miss Benzema, you see those tricky runs Vinicius Jr normally does, is only big Benz that understand him well and their combination is just epic, honestly a proper number 9 is needed but they're just not paying attention to that position as long as they have Mbappe but it doesn't show with Mbappe on the mix, is going to really take a while before that understanding takes place.

Real Madrid's game was really bad, it was really disappointing. Even though they had a lot of chances, they wasted a lot of them. It seems that Ancelotti should try the old formation from last season without Mbappe as a starter, who knows it might work.

Too high expectation on Mbappe, I wonder about people who say that Mbappe still needs to adapt, but, how long we must wait him to adapt more in Real Madrid? A half of season?  

Exactly, Real Madrid really lost a fiigure of Kross, this is also one of the mistakes by Real Madrid to let Kross go. None can play the role as him to manage and set the rhythm of Real Madrid's game, very good accuracy and a Kross-like mentality..

Anyway, Rudiger has tried his efforts,

So - do you now admit that even teams with good squad depth can still fail to win match against mediocre teams?

Real Madrid have a good squad that is expected to win everything this season - but their performance in the first three match of the season does not reflect that. 2 draws and 1 win - 4 points behind Barcelona who won 3 match is never good. I say this because I know Barcelona are much worse than Real Madrid in every way.

Seriously I don’t know why people are surprised about this results from Barcelona at the moment. I had predicted this difficulty immediately I saw the Madrid do not have a natural striker that they want to use to start matches. Last season they had Bellingham pulling out some goals at the start of the season and that helped throughout. The Mbappe been a striker is something I know wouldn’t work just like that it will take some times for them to adapt to the changes first and that is what is currently happening, the legendary Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale attacking trio didn’t work when they started but they later got adapted and became a force to reckon

Another big challenge is the Toni Kroos that left the team, his slot can be filled by Luka Modric but he is also getting old and can’t be as effective as they would want and that’s what is affecting them more now. Because no one is creating those chances at the moment

Of course this must be done because after all, improvements must be made after the draw against Las Palmas in today's match.
There is nothing wrong with Madrid's performance when it comes to chances and possession because in the end it clearly shows the difference in their quality but it cannot be denied that Madrid's goal productivity in their 3 matches at the beginning of this season is very bad in contrast to what they did last season.

Mbappe hasn't been able to fully contribute in the 3 matches he has played. In addition, the loss of Toni Kross in midfield also made them a little confused because the supply of balls from accurate passes was a little lacking which made them use other options by moving players on both sides but in the end even though it was a good thing because poor finsihing made the conditions not end as planned.

I am not impressed at all with the kind of performance Real Madrid put up tonight. I expected more from them, but at the end of the day, I'm disappointed at what Real Madrid played at first their equalizing goal was a penalty so imagine if there is a penalty then there is no way Real Madrid would have been able to play a draw. Everyone under estimated Las Palmas and see what happened they scored rea Madrid first and Madrid was finding it to even equalize, in a not shell every thing was poor and even the crowd were not happy because it was a narrow victory for Madrid and it is not even a victory since it was a draw. They made shots on target but no goal all effort was a waste so better luck for Madrid and the thing is that people have a high hope for Real Madrid this season because of mbappe also, what a game.


Ancelotti Should have been taking note of all this mistakes and finds a way of settling it because it becomes concerning about Madrid and a lot of people actually likes Madrid, but people will not tolerate this kind of behavior from them because am sure a lot of people would have even bet on Real Madrid for a straight win and see what result they gave and it was not even against a worthy club am actually out of words because I actually expected more from them.  The things is this is not even a good period to be wasting points at this moment and they are busy playing and wasting I hope Ancelotti fixes everything soon.

Girona managed to secure full points for the first time this season, Ososuna could not do much to put up resistance and had to accept a crushing defeat with a score of 4-0. Interestingly, the goals scored were scored by four different players, it seems that Michel squad has started to find their rhythm again. It is indeed difficult to repeat the consistency of last season, but this victory is very much deserved. Looking at the course of the match, Girona seems very dominant, they made good use of the home game this week.

Meanwhile, the competition in the top four of the La Liga standings this season will be more competitive, and Girona must try harder to finish there when the season ends. We realize that Girona will face other challenges in the Champions League, the tight match schedule can potentially make their performance unstable. In addition, Girona opponents that Girona will face in the Champions League are quite difficult, Liverpool, PSG, Arsenal and AC Milan are teams that have the potential to make Girona journey stumble.
