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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.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.

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.
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.

So far Barcelona has only faced teams which in my opinion are not enough to test Barcelona mentality and toughness so I think we will see Barcelona true quality when they face teams like Madrid, Atletico and Villareal who do have a solid squad.

You are right, they will also still have 2 away home matches against Real Madrid, even they will still face Atletico Madrid, that might give them a defeat. Apart from that, there might be other teams that are surprising this season like Girona did last season.
Barcelona is not an easy and weak team they also beat Real Madrid 2-1 in August 4th match. so Barcelona has a chance to win the match against Rayo Vallecano at least 2-0 in this match. But nothing can be guaranteed in football. Because there are times when a strong team loses a match against a weaker team due to some weakness. so in this match we can expect Barcelona to win but Rayo Vallecano can win if they have good luck and good performance.
No, I don't think Barcelona only have the chance to win Rayo but I think they have everything it takes to get the victory. Since Barcelona defeated Real Madrid on the 4th of August, I realized they were in for something bigger this season and could see a little effect on the new manager. The 2 - 1 win over Real Madrid was not by chance, they did their best to achieve that.
Rayo Vallencano is not as strong as Barcelona's squad so I'm rest assured this game will be a major milestone to the Barcelona as it will help them achieve more points. The strategy is to win small matches and also work towards winning the big ones. That's the precedence that the Barcelona team is setting up right now. I hope they sustain it throughout the season though.

It must be admitted, Rayo Vallecano played well in the first half, as a result they managed to score the first goal in the 9th minute. Entering the second half, the direction of the game began to change, Barcelona game became more lively after Dani Olmo entered the field. Barcelona finally managed to make a comeback in the second half after successfully taking advantage of the golden opportunity they got in this match. Three consecutive wins at the start of the season are a very satisfying result achieved since being coached by Hansi Flick, this result is very good for those who are trying to win the La Liga trophy again. The additional three points make Barcelona currently lead the La Liga standings with perfect points from three matches. The victory came at a high price for Barcelona as one of their talented young players (Marc Bernal) suffered an ACL injury in his left leg, he is expected to be out for several months.
Rayo Vallecano is always a competitive side with their performance against top clubs are always impressive in this game as they have early leaded and keep this until 60th minute this was great challenge from them to La Liga best club with things were fiercer in second half and Barcelona end their deadlock with 2 goals and third were disallowed but still we have good competition from the clubs as both fight till end but at the end we have good win for the Barcelona.Things are looking good for the Barcelona but sudden injury is surely going to have some bad impact with they are having good replacements which can bring good results and good performance hopefully we will have things on good track for them in coming matches, and they will be able to fight good until end.

Barcelona's winning streak in the first 3 matches is indeed quite impressive, and they show impressive performance and quality players in all lines but I think there is no guarantee that they will be able to continue to be consistent with the game especially Barcelona has not faced the real test against the top La Liga teams so I still favor Real Madrid overall in terms of the title race this season.
And for Barcelona's new players, what Olmo showed in his debut match was quite impressive, this could be an attraction for Olmo to be better in the future and contribute greatly to the Barcelona team.
The winning goal scored by Olmo will have a big impact on the player's confidence.
Barcelona improved performance under Hansi Flick will be a threat to Real Madrid in retaining the title they just won last season. Barcelona managed to collect full points in the first three games of this season, the points they have collected have made them secure the top of the standings. It is not yet certain whether Barcelona will win La Liga this season because there are still 35 matches left to play.
Barcelona has indeed improve so much on this season, however one of the things that got my attention from all the matches they have played so far is that they maintain a certain wining range because if Check there scores the three matches are just the same which is 2:1 against all the clubs, actually there performance this season doesn't even seem like the club that has a financial challenge because they have been very reliable but however even if they are still leading the table but I don't think they are still good enough to win the league because there are so many matches ahead of them and this is just the beginning of the season, so with time we should be able to really no how consistent they are.

I like the way Barcelona plays, they control the ball well and by the way they could have scored a few more times in the second half and I think the goal that the referee cancelled was a wrong decision, but the most important thing is that it did not affect the final result. Yes, 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.
Yes, possession of the ball has been Barcelona's game since long ago, but in last night's match in the first half they played less effectively or could be said to be less than satisfactory, no goals were scored by Barcelona in that round and the opportunities generated were very few, but in the second half there was an improvement and change in terms of the game, especially after Dani Olmo came on to replace Ferran Torres, they looked much more fluid in building attacks, as evidenced by their success in breaking through Rayo's goal with 2 goals and winning 3 points at the end of the match.it can be said that Barcelona in the 3 matches that have been played went smoothly, that is good capital this season.
talking about Real Madrid, of course they will play better than before and catch up on the points gap over Barcelona who are currently at the top of the standings, so the Real Madrid vs Las Palmas match I have no doubt that El Real will win.
