The Girona team made a big mistake for letting one of their best player for last season leave the club when they know how important this season will be for them as they are going to be involved in the champions league competition which they have not had the opportunity to play for a long time, after watching their performance in their  first match I made a conclusion that they were not going to be like the team we saw last season that was winning games and scoring goals in every match..
on the other hand it could be that selling out their best players after that  performed exquisite for the club at the end of the season wasn't in their original agenda but as a means to recoup money for the club where it's lacking some of these growing clubs have to be forced to sell their best players especially when they are faced with a juicy offer from the elite clubs. And it's not that simple to quickly get a replacement, which is what makes them inconsistent with performance with each season.  It would definitely be a challenging season for Girona as they will grapple to maintain a considerable form both in the champions league and their domestic league, and it's really going to affect their chances of making it far especially in the champions league where it's very competitive.
I would guess that it is a common thing for teams that are normally small but end up with a good result, they got some loans like savio that left, and they sold some players which means that they are not as good as last season but they are not in financial trouble.

All these smaller clubs end up doing the same thing, and I feel like they are really looking for something more sustainable, which is why they try to sell their players, because if they make money and use that money for further income, that means they can have a squad one day that they can afford and could be good. This period isn't that time just yet, but since they got taken over by City group, they are doing fine and I bet that they will continue to do well for a while longer.

Only Barcelona have a perfect points so far (9 points from 3 matches), no one would be wrong to expect them to become La Liga champions this season, but that's too soon to say, we haven't even go to the first El Clasico of the season yet, so even though Barcelona are currently having a good run, we can't know how they will be after that.

About Barcelona's match against Rayo Vallecano, I thought Olmo played well, it's a shame he didn't play from the start, maybe if he played earlier we could have seen Barcelona's third and fourth goals.
Olmo has fit into the team very well, I even remember him more for his long-range shot into the crossbar, it was very beautiful, and Lewandowski is also in good shape by the way. 9 points is good, it is too early to draw any conclusions, but it is good that they are moving so confidently, and Real will go to Las Palmas tomorrow, an unyielding opponent, especially at home.

Everyone was impressed with Olmo's debut, especially when he scored the winning goal for Barcelona. It seems that he's the type who adapts easily, after seeing his club's track record, I was quite surprised to see the initial club in his senior career. He played in the Croatian league (HNL) with Dinamo Zagreb, it was an unimaginable thing that then went to Leipzig before finally going to Barcelona.

Next is Real Madrid, I think because of the good results that Barcelona got, Real Madrid will not easily give anything to Las Palmas, I'm sure Real Madrid will get 3 points even if they play away.

Nico Williams is again not in the starting lineup of Athletic Bilbao... I don't get the manager about this decision. He is the most valuable player in your squad not only in terms of market value but also talent. Why would you do this?  Huh

There were rumours about him to leave the team before. But there isn't anymore as far as I know. If I'm wrong about it please correct me. He should be able to concentrate on his game easily as a result.

Anyways, I hope Athletic Bilbao get their first win of the season against Valencia. Probably we would see Nico on the pitch in the second half. Because the youngster Olabarrieta hasn't been playing well so far.
Him staying out of the squad should not he a big deal and it has nothing to do with the coach, maybe the coach wanted to try other players that plays the same position with him so that they can know their stand against injuries and others, he must not start just because he is a star player.
There are other valuable players in the team, and for the team to convince him to stay in the club again for another season, it is good for him due to his age and I am sure he will have good development and the team will make money if they were able to give him more contract to stay because he is a star player that is worthy of investing in.

Bilbao has already taking the lead, and they are dominating the game and they can get their first win today.

As long as Barcelona are leading by less than three points and until they meet Real Madrid head-to-head, bookmakers will continue to rate them as clear underdogs against Real Madrid (which are still priced at ~1.50 even after dropping points). The fact that they have 9 points is not bad, but you can’t say that they are winning confidently - three minimal victories and in every game they are conceding goals.
Expect competitive run for the La Liga title this season, it's going to be amazing one because we have Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, these clubs didn't sleep on because they made tough signings in the transfer window. Conceding a goal this time, it would be a top challenge for any Barcelona opponents because Barca is build with formidable qualities and tactics. Hansi Flick knows exactly what he's doing and not stopping. Barcelona will continue to lead on top of the La Liga table because they've the required positioning stands, with Hansi Flick empowering the squad with the fiercest game style, a more comfortable condition for La Blaugrana.
The season has just begun and we cannot conclude who will be topping the table because there are so many surprises that at e yet to come. Barcelona was able to win their two matches doesn't mean that they will continue like that till the end of the season.

There are some clubs that when Barcelona meets will make them drop points and other clubs will take over topping the table from them. Flickr is a good coach no doubt but I have not seen the best of him yet until in El Clasico.

Atlético Club vs Valencia the two teams will face each other today although we have seen that the Valencia team is currently at the bottom of the points table. Moreover, Atlético Club has also drawn one match and lost one match, if they lose today's match, they will surely fall far behind. However, I think that if you bet on the victory of Athletico Club against Valencia in today's match, it will be possible for Athletico Club to win. However, today's match will be an exciting battle between the two teams, in which Atlético Madrid can be expected to attack strongly. If Atletico win today's match, Clab will move to a better position in the points table, although they are currently at the bottom.

Athletic Bilbao will do whatever to beat Valencia today so that they may move up the standings. And Valencia has lost almost two matches they don't have any points in the league so I think they will surely give Athletic Bilbao a tough time in the game, I think they game can be a draw because I don't think Valencia will like to lose tonight they will play a defense game to make it a draw to get a point, because if they try to attack Athletic Bilbao are more stronger than them and they will really break the defense and score, and last season Valencia defeated them and they draw in the second leg. so the game can be a draw tonight, is very advisable if you are going to bet on the game should be plus draw for athletic Bilbao because they are playing at home and they will like to secure the game at home to win or draw. Athletico Madrid are in form so I don't think espanyol will get the opportunity to defeat Athletico Madrid.


Until these 3 matches, Barcelona is still strong enough to always get 3 points. Financial problems seem to have not so much made Barcelona ruin the game. The management is also quite clever by taking advantage of the register of injured players replaced by players who have just been bought. Dani Olmo also had a good start. Olmo, who had not been registered, has become a player who immediately looks good because he made a goal.  But Barcelona looks set to have additional injured players. During the win against Rayo Marc Bernal was injured, it is estimated that the injury was in the knee.

I see Barcelona are really trying and am sure they will compete with Real Madrid this season because they are in real good form they have not lost any of their matches this season and they really try against Rayo Vallecano, I thought the game will end in a draw before Olmo comes in and give the Barcelona lead in the game, let see if Barcelona will continue to perform great with this new coach he has not lost any points and he will do anything possible to continue performing. Real Madrid will play tomorrow, and they will be the favorite of the match so I am sure Madrid will get another three point and continue chasing Barcelona in the table, and they will impact real madrid to know get the chance of winning the laliga if Barcelona didn't lose any game but am sure they most lose or draw before the season reach middle.

Sevilla are still in a state of chaos where in their last 3 matches they have never won and this will be the same as previous seasons where they will remain stuck at the bottom of the table. Last night's match was very difficult for them where they only played a goalless draw against Mallorca and even in that match one of their players got a red card.

They are getting frustrated with the current situation and I don't know when this will end for Sevilla. It doesn't feel long before we see the sacking of coach García Pimienta if they continue to get bad results and fans must be aware that their favorite team will fall into the abyss of relegation if they don't get a win in the next match. Sad
A bit shocked why Sevilla have to sell their main striker Youssef En-Nesyri to Fenerbahce because in the last several season Sevilla always be rely on Youssef En-Nesyri for their front lines and now after he leave we can see it based on Sevilla statistics that none of the current players of them who can able to performing well as striker to replace Youssef En-Nesyri position however i can see Sevilla sell Youssef En-Nesyri for 19 million and so far this is expensive sell this summer from them

This season García Pimienta have to working hard to lifted up Sevilla performance and avoiding relegation zone and it won't be easy because he was unable to bought the players he want because Sevilla still facing financial problem and imagined Sevilla only spend 8 million to bought the players this summer and i think the performance of Sevilla this season will not so different compared to last season and not impossible they will changing manager several times just like they did last season

Olmo came in as a super substitutions and he did well for the team. Playing and winning in your debut match should be something of great joy and encouragement for the player more and also for the team to have more trust on the player. Rayo Vallecano were not an easy opponent to beat but in the end they were able to record two goals against them that gave them victory. Barcelona cannot be predicted to be the La Liga champions just yet, they need to win more games and beaten even bigger team to make one feel so. They still have a long way to go but they’ve really started well in this manner.

Dani Olmo's arrival is pretty good, Barca has strengthened the team. Olmo is a player who will be worth the big money paid. When he came to La Liga after the Bundesliga, it's admirable that he adapted instantly.
It's interesting that Barca won all three games same score, 2-1. In two of them they came from behind to turn the game around. I think all these oppontets were medium difficulty and it's good that they got through them without any point loss. Other contenders lost points and Barca are on top. They have more variety in attack this season and they can get Lewandowski more of the ball. The wings are working. I think they have everything to be hopeful for the title.

About Barcelona's match against Rayo Vallecano, I thought Olmo played well, it's a shame he didn't play from the start, maybe if he played earlier we could have seen Barcelona's third and fourth goals.
We are still at the beginning of the league but Barcelona is continuing on their way with high morale. Playing without mistakes in 3 matches was an indication that Flick analyzed the team well. The main factor for Barcelona will be the El Classico matches. If they can get 6 points from Real in those matches, they will be champions this year, but if they lose 2, their chances of winning the league will be very low. They are lucky that Real Madrid got stuck with Mallorca in the first week of the league and lost 2 points.
As we can see, a new season has begun; teams that have started having a high level of performance already with their newly signed players may not appear better in the long runthanateamsams that are starting this season with a low level of performance despite their newly signed players.

No doubt, Barcelona has started well, better than some of the formidable teams that we look up to for the Laliga trophy. However, that still doesn't mean we should discredit those teams and put Barcelona in high esteem for the Laliga trophy. Even the so-called El Classico match wins don't define the Laliga trophy winners since 38 matches made up a season. Barcelona and Real Madrid can win against each other, but in the long run, their key players might have injuries that might affect the team's performance, striking the team to second or third spot. However, this season's performance is unpredictable for teams we hope to lift the Laliga trophy.

I think 3 matches are not enough to say for sure. At the end of 10 matches, we can make more successful comments about Barcelona and Flick. Real Madrid expectations were high in La Liga this year, but we saw in the first match that they are losing points. If they experience another loss like this, Real Madrid and Barcelona can be ambitious for the championship. I think they will definitely get stuck somewhere. The competition is between two teams that will be at the top. Maybe Atletico can join them of course.

A little assessment of Girona who lost to Atletico Madrid without reply made me think that the dominance of this club last season cannot be repeated. I personally expect too much from Girona, especially since Dovbyk left which made Girona without a spearhead in the front line. Throughout the 90 minutes Atletico did not experience dangerous difficulties, Simeone troops enjoyed this match with full ambition considering the last match last season Atletico Madrid lost to Girona 4-3.

Is Girona best time gone or can it return? share your thoughts and how far will Girona be in the UCL if the situation is no longer like last season?

Flick must explore his tactics and strategies again, especially so that they don't often concede goals. talking about Barcelona's consistency, let's just follow every match they play. after all, in the next few weeks Barcelona's opposing team is not a strong opponent. what's interesting is, can they advance with a positive trend.

Yes indeed, there is still no change to make Sevilla rise at the beginning of this season and the results are still as bad as last season. Of course, this is a concern for fans, because Sevilla in the last two seasons has only struggled at the bottom of the table and of course it is a bad result that Sevilla has. Because after all,  Sevilla is famous as a team that has good results in the Europa League but anyway, over the past two seasons to be in the top zone in the La Liga standings is also a fact that Sevilla is unable.

With such poor results indeed, I think Sevilla really have to get the right manager to be able to restore Sevilla. Because for the last two seasons Sevilla have not been in a place that matches the quality they have. I personally don't really know what the main problem is in what factors, to make Sevilla really in a difficult situation and get bad results.

Actually in this case when compared to last season they are still quite good where they still get points even though only 2 points from the 2 draws they get but that they can still get rather than nothing.
It is difficult for them to come out with the current conditions because we must be aware that Sevilla's condition still cannot improve after the carelessness of management and too many of their core players for sale which makes their performance and quality decline even more.

Compared to Sevilla, I am actually a little worried about Girona for now because seeing from their first 2 matches, of course we can see these results are not very good for Girona coupled with a busy schedule because they will have several matches in other competitions that could make their conditions even worse if at the beginning of this season they cannot get a decent position.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills
They just haven't againts yet ATM or RMA. because only those two teams from Madrid are always competitive to be Barcelona's rivals in the last 10 years. If the barometer is victory against middle and lower teams on the table, then you won't believe that La Liga has 38 matches.
Unless Barcelona wins against Real Madrid and Athletico Madrid, the possibility to be La Liga Champions  will be greater because they managed to get points from the 2 teams.
It is true, points are calculated for all matches, how consistent in 38 matches, but at least winning from that two teams is something that can increase team morale.
In one season they have to collect as many points as possible to be able to become champions in La Liga. However, in a competition there are teams that are considered tough and will be a threat to them, in the context of Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are always their threats.

However, that does not mean that you have to underestimate other teams, be it top teams, middle teams or even bottom teams, when they meet they have to make sure they bring victory. Because sometimes we focus too much on the teams at the top, then we forget about the role of the middle or bottom teams. And we have seen a lot that they can also make top teams fail to get points, so don't underestimate whoever will be their opponent.

But after Dani Olmo shows his quality, maybe Hansi Flick will start considering including this player in the starting eleven in the next match. But I am now starting to understand the meaning of Flick's words about wanting to change the Barcelona squad's style of play. And yes, we can see the results now. Hansi Flick has really made a positive change for this team. And managing to collect full points in 3 consecutive weeks is an achievement that currently only Barcelona has had this season in LaLiga. But yeah, it's still too early to judge everything about the teams in La Liga. Because changes often occur throughout the seasons. There are times when a club starts well but ends badly. And there is the opposite, namely the club starts badly but in the end they can get good results at the end of the season. And more surprises will occur throughout the season of course.

As I said in the previous post, at least in Flick's hands Barca is more varied with his playing style. in last night's match Dani Olmo became the determinant of Barcelona's victory, at least this breaks my assumption about Olmo before. I mean, I'm really not sure about Dani Olmo's performance in Barcelona. even though he has only played once, he was able to answer by scoring one goal against Rayo. next, the consistency of his performance is expected to be much better. well, I think Barcelona has not shown a very impressive game. however, they remain in a positive trend by winning three matches in La Liga. Flick must explore his tactics and strategies again, especially so that they don't often concede goals. talking about Barcelona's consistency, let's just follow every match they play. after all, in the next few weeks Barcelona's opposing team is not a strong opponent. what's interesting is, can they advance with a positive trend.

Atlético Club vs Valencia the two teams will face each other today although we have seen that the Valencia team is currently at the bottom of the points table. Moreover, Atlético Club has also drawn one match and lost one match, if they lose today's match, they will surely fall far behind. However, I think that if you bet on the victory of Athletico Club against Valencia in today's match, it will be possible for Athletico Club to win. However, today's match will be an exciting battle between the two teams, in which Atlético Madrid can be expected to attack strongly. If Atletico win today's match, Clab will move to a better position in the points table, although they are currently at the bottom.
This is an opportunity for Atletico Bilbao to record their first win in La Liga after in the first 2 weeks they could only get 1 point from 1 draw and 1 defeat. They will host a team that has not been able to get points in the first 2 weeks, so they must take advantage of this opportunity well and present a victory for their supporters in this match.
Appearing as the host will certainly be something that benefits them, they get direct support and at the same time they are also facing a team that is mentally down after their first 2 defeats. If they fail in this match I think it is very unfortunate because they missed a good opportunity to get their first 3 points this season.
