Very solid start for Barcelona. Two wins against Valencia and Athletic Bilbao via 2-1. Lewandowski scored 3 goals and one goal scored by Lamine Yamal. Barcelona has lots of young and talented players, but I guess that Lewandowski at an age of 36 will remain the leader and top goal scorer. Hansi Flick might be the best option to replace Xavi as the manager of Barcelona.
Real Madrid did a draw against Mallorca, but shouldn't be a problem for their team. The biggest problem there would be the enormous expectations upon Mbappe to become the leader and top scorer of the team.
Atletico Madrid started with 2-2 draw against a strong opponent like Villareal, but they won 3-0 against Girona, that had a great performance in the last season. I hear that Atletico Madrid plans to spend 200 million euro on new players. I don't know if this is true, though.

There is only 1 match today Villarreal vs Celta which will be an interesting match. Celta is currently leading the EPL standings with great pride in being at the top of the standings even though it is only temporary and now it is time for Villarreal to give 1 defeat to Celta.
Maybe too confident but I am sure if Villarreal hosts against Celta, it will always be able to produce 3 points for Villarreal. And on the one hand Celta seems to be a lucky team that can beat Alaves and Valencia when playing at home.
3-1 might be the perfect score for both teams or betting on BTTS can provide a decent profit.
I believe celta will not allow such defeats of that goal difference, they were known to be an average team all this while but it appears this season they sre coming totally different from what we have seen and known them for, because their performance already is commendable, lets see hoe well it will go against Villarreal who i know to be another good team even if they don't happen to be amongst the top teams in the la Liga but they do have a relatively good form and depth as when compared to celta, this may be the only time celta met be enjoying such position they sre privileged at currently as i believe soon the bigger teams will get them displaced. Maybe too confident but I am sure if Villarreal hosts against Celta, it will always be able to produce 3 points for Villarreal. And on the one hand Celta seems to be a lucky team that can beat Alaves and Valencia when playing at home.

The Real Madrid team was aggressive and ferocious from the start, as the opposing team was at least weak. If we compare the players of the two teams, then Real Madrid team is stronger and known as the best team of this season. Because Real Madrid's players have been more aggressive since the past, Real Madrid has become stronger after the addition of Mbappe.
There was little attacking before half-time, but after half-time Mbappe's side became more attacking and ferocious. Because meanwhile Rodrigo missed the ball the most and was unable to score but later succeeded.
We beat Valladolid, 3-0. Thats a win, and we always love winning, believe me. But it wasnt exactly a masterpiece. As usual, Mbappe was excellent. Though he is a game-changer, for now he does not score any goals. And we cannot depend on him to carry the squad every game. We need to see more from the other guys, especially early on.There was little attacking before half-time, but after half-time Mbappe's side became more attacking and ferocious.

Rodrigo found it difficult out there. Though it occurs to the best of them, we need him to take initiative. Being Real Madrid, we cannot afford to have any weak links in the chain. Ancelotti moved wisely bringing Endrick on board. He proved it with that goal. Its fantastic to see we have depth on the bench.

Madrid's performance in the first match was not good. Madrid have come under a lot of criticism after dropping points against the likes of Mallorca. So Real Madrid needed a big win in this match. And Madrid managed to win the match 3-0. Real Madrid players have performed well.
Although Madrid won by a large margin, several weaknesses of Madrid were seen in this match. Especially in the first half, Real Madrid did not play well. But it could also be a trick by Ancelotti. From the start of the second half we saw excellent performances from the Madrid players.
Valverde scored the first goal of the match. Madrid might have won 1-0. But last minute goals from Diaz and Endrick saw Madrid win 3-0. Diaz scored in the 88th minute and Endrick scored in the 90th+6th minute. We expected a better performance from Mbappe. He made 4 shots in this match, all three were on target. But Mbappe could not score a single goal.
Madrid managed to achieve their first victory with a landslide score of 3-0 over Valladolid, in the first week Ancelotti squad was forced to share points with Mallorca. Overall, Madrid did not seem to have found their best rhythm, I think they still need time to adapt and become more organized. Valladolid could not do much to threaten Courtois goal, throughout the match they did not release any shots on target. Simply put, Valladolid is an easy opponent for Madrid, therefore Ancelotti was also brave enough to overhaul his formation and experiment with 4-2-3-1.Although Madrid won by a large margin, several weaknesses of Madrid were seen in this match.

But Mbappe could not score a single goal.
Real Madrid have yet to find their best rhythm. I would even say that Madrid's performance is poorer than last season. Real Madrid lost points against a weak team like Mallorca in the first match. The match was drawn 1-1. Madrid's opponent Real Valladolid was not a strong opponent in the second match either. However, Madrid won 3-0. However, the last two goals were scored by Madrid in the 88th and 90th+6th minutes. Madrid scored two goals in the last minute of the match. To be honest I can't be happy with Real Madrid's overall gameplay. They are not performing well against weaker teams. How will they play well against the strongest teams in the Champions League?
With a relatively easy opponent, all of Ancelotti plans went well, but in the future they must appear more aggressive from the start. Bellingham did not appear due to absence, Mbappe has not found his sharpness, Endrick managed to score his first goal. On the other hand, I see Ancelotti is trying to speed up the adaptation process within the team, by trying to implement a different strategy to find his best formation this season. In addition, the challenge that Ancelotti faces this season is actually to accommodate playing minutes for each of his players fairly, we can see it when Arda Guler became a starter today.
As Ancelotti is a very experienced coach, Ancelotti can be trusted. He can definitely stabilize the Madrid squad. As every player in Madrid's squad is talented. So Ancelotti must now try to find a stable match strategy for Madrid. and improving understanding among players. If Mbappe has a better understanding with other players in the team, I believe that Madrid's attack will be stronger. Talented players like Bellingham, Mbappe and Vini are in Madrid's attack.
Girona are how back to their main settings, is not about missing a player or replacing the players they sold out is about maintaining that performance of last season and they know quite alright that if they let go of their best they can't perform well so why sell? This is on them and I was expecting them to do better against Atletico Madrid but nothing positive came out with no goal registered.
I think this Girona side are really back to how we know them and they're not even going to finish in the top 4 or even the top 6 depending on how the other teams play out their games. I wonder how they're going to perform in the champions league, maybe they're going their to give every team in their group 3pt then be eliminated from the group stage, not yet writing them off but what I saw tonight is not encouraging.
, I mean they gotta keep on making something out of the club if they don't have any trophy even though I don't like the idea of limiting themselves.I don't think they got a better replacement during the transfer window despite the fact they knew they will be playing in UCL 2024/2025 and they will be needing extra squad which should be better than that of Laliga's last season, they went on playing dumb
selling players without proper replacement, now they can't even compete in Laliga like they did some months back, well I still believe everything is still fresh:) , maybe they are just gonna focus on UCL only who knows...That doesn't look like business to me, they saw this mistake coming and they choose to ignore it so how does it make the squad better than last season? Imagine how brilliant they were last campaign although they didn't get any trophy and this very season they couldn't get a win in their first 2 games, it doesn't tell good of them as a team who gave almost all of the big club a run for their money last season.
The window is still open and they need to regroup or else they might even lose some good players to their rivals if care is not taken, and if you talk about them getting ready for UCL I doubt because they are not yet fit to carry that pressure of even playing all domestic league cups, the la Liga and to add it up UCL, they can't manage the pressure honestly, they can't focus on them all.
This should be a lesson for them that quality players are needed for a club to be successful at the end of the season. Why are they not learning from the best clubs in Spain, during the break clubs were buying good players to replace the ones they have offloaded but Girona was busy offloading their best and replacing them with average players.
I'm not sure if they even care about what will happen to them in the league table, selling without replacing is like praying for the team to fall. No trophy last season but it was an awesome performance and they made all other clubs to be on their toes when playing against them but with how weak they are this season I don't feel that positivity in them this campaign. They feel money is everything, let's see if is money that will play the remaining games for them to be in top of the league table. If they don't get any better player then adding from the academy might be the next option which I don't think is going to strengthen the squad.
There is only 1 match today Villarreal vs Celta which will be an interesting match. Celta is currently leading the EPL La Liga standings with great pride in being at the top of the standings even though it is only temporary and now it is time for Villarreal to give 1 defeat to Celta.
Maybe too confident but I am sure if Villarreal hosts against Celta, it will always be able to produce 3 points for Villarreal. And on the one hand Celta seems to be a lucky team that can beat Alaves and Valencia when playing at home.
3-1 might be the perfect score for both teams or betting on BTTS can provide a decent profit.
This will be a very good match to watch because it is indeed a match with surprises for both clubs especially in the 2 matches they did well especially Celta who managed to bulldoze 2 matches in the first match with a pretty good score.Maybe too confident but I am sure if Villarreal hosts against Celta, it will always be able to produce 3 points for Villarreal.

Villarreal may be a little better off at home in today's match but with 2 results from each (Villarreal and Celta) I think the situation becomes difficult for us to predict who will win in this match because in addition to their goal productivity is quite good, the style of play of both is still very difficult to predict which makes this difficult if you force a bet on who will win at 1x2.
But with the productivity they created in the first 2 matches I think it will be worth it if in this match we bet on both teams to score because this is still possible and a bolder bet I think over 2.5 can still be done in this match.

In my opinion it is normal when new players are adapting to the atmosphere in La Liga. But Mbappe had to get out of the situation in the next few matches because if not he would feel a greater mental pressure. The media will be intensive to write news about it especially compared to Endrik who immediately contributes to its contribution. Yes Ancelotti will analyze his formation so that Mbappe can issue his best abilities. But I think team victory is more important than having to think of one individual.
Although it is natural and Real Madrid has won the match, Mbappe is still in the media spotlight when he is unable to score a goal in the match and even the player who replaced Mbappe in the 86th minute was able to score a goal in the final minutes of the match so that it will give a fairly different assessment of them. However, I think it will not be difficult for Ancelotti to choose a suitable place for Mbappe in the team because he is a fast player and can be relied on for certain sectors in the match. 
Real Madrid is known around the world as the best team in La Liga, and they are also a strong team. I believe Real Madrid have built a strong team this season, like last season, and they are strong enough to win the title this season. However, the way they came back in yesterday's game was really good, Real Madrid didn't have much excitement in the first half but went into the second half and put in a great performance and beat the opposition by scoring three goals. I also believe that in the coming days, Real Madrid team will become stronger and work harder and win every match brilliantly. Real Madrid has been playing very well in the competition of the new season, so it is expected that they will be more excited in the coming days.
Real Madrid were a bit sluggish at the start as they attacked only a few times but did not succeed. But after half time they were very aggressive despite having the most experienced and young players in the attacking department. Rodrigo, Vinicius Jr., and Mbappe have performed extremely well in the first attacking department. Although Luka Modric performed well for his side, the reverse team could not come up with much attack. So I won the bet on this match, because there was a huge gap between the two teams in this match.
~snip~
The match Real Madrid clearly won so I added a new bet for Atletico Madrid's victory against Girona and the final result is quite satisfying.
Congratulations on you winning bet, but Real Madrid did play very well in the second half with total of 3 goal they got.The match Real Madrid clearly won so I added a new bet for Atletico Madrid's victory against Girona and the final result is quite satisfying.
For the first half I was to see several opportunities that could be created failed to produce single goal, but in the second half Real Madrid game changed significantly and they were much more aggressive in their attack patterns.
For Atletico Madrid vs Girona itself I was really surprised when Girona managed to dominate the game but could not match Atletico Madrid who also won with 3 goal.
Initially I thought this would end in draw but the facts on the field showed very different result.
Mbappe played well enough against Atalanta. So naturally we thought that Mbappe has adapted very quickly to this Madrid squad. But we were wrong. Mbappe has yet to settle in well with Madrid's players.
In the two La Liga matches, Madrid played with different strategies and formations. Ancelotti is trying to find the right formation for his squad. I expect Ancelotti to be able to stabilize Madrid's performance in the next few weeks. Ancelotti is a very experienced coach. At the same time, every player in Madrid's squad is very talented.
By the way I liked Atletico Madrid a lot. They were very effective against Girona and finished them off easily. I'm afraid Girona are no longer the same as the previous season. 
Losing important players have a big affect.
Girona is already finished, they will be humiliated in Champions League. Losing important players have a big affect.I guess Girona is back become a mediocre team after the wonderful results in the last season, this will be funny if they're relegated from La Liga in this season.
Anyway, where's Alvarez? he play like shit in the last two match. Many people said Alvarez is already win in football since he already collects all prestigious trophies, but it seems he can achieve it due to lucky to born in Argentina and signed by Pep.

Yes that would be a decent choice and advantage. And it's not that I underestimate Celta Vigo, but Villareal should be able to make Celta difficult for the first time this season. The first week and second week belonged to Celta because they only faced other weak teams. And Celta also played as host. But in the third week their opponents will be very different from the opponents they faced before because Villareal is one of the strongest teams in La Liga. And Villareal's record in the last two weeks is also quite good. Because they managed to beat Sevilla in the away match and held Atletico Madrid to a draw in the first week of the home match. So in the match against Celta, Villareal as the host will really be the favourite. But if for example it turns out that Celta managed to surprise us all by winning the match against Villareal then maybe Celta could become a team that is similar to Girona last season. And speaking of Girona it seems like they are having a hard time at the start of this season. Because they have only collected 1 point from the past two weeks. Maybe too confident but I am sure if Villarreal hosts against Celta, it will always be able to produce 3 points for Villarreal. And on the one hand Celta seems to be a lucky team that can beat Alaves and Valencia when playing at home.
3-1 might be the perfect score for both teams or betting on BTTS can provide a decent profit.
Mbappe maybe should be required time to adapt with Real Madrid so that's why he still unable to in form and i have to says people expectation is very high to him so that's why everytime Mbappe played people will always be expect Mbappe can scores for Real Madrid but in fact until week 2 Mbappe still hasn't scores for Real Madrid even when the match against Valladolid last night Mbappe looks deadlock which caused Ancelotti have to replace him to Endrick but people never thought Endrick who only played 10 minutes can scored 3rd goal for Real Madrid so i think a bit ironic to see the situation of Mbappe last night because people expected he can scores but in fact Endrick who can able to make his debut goal with Real Madrid in Laliga
When Mbappe scored in the Super Cup match against Atalanta, they talked about how quickly he adapted, but in the first two games in La Liga he did not show anything special, it was more like how he played the last games for PSG. Maybe he needs more time not for adaptation, because it seems that the atmosphere in the team is good, but to better play with the team. Let him play a few more rounds, then it will be clear what he is capable of in Real.Mbappe played well enough against Atalanta.

Real Madrid did a decent work just as I expected. However Mbappe was terrible in this game. He wasted absolute goal opportunities without exaggeration. One of his shots was nearly ending up with a throw-in.
We watched Arda Güler in Bellingham's place in this game. I think he played quite decently. He played a big role in many attack organizations. He got close to scoring a couple of times too but unfortunately he couldn't score.By the way I liked Atletico Madrid a lot. They were very effective against Girona and finished them off easily.

I never for once doubt Real madrid winning the game, in fact, I was expecting a scoreline much more higher than what they scored. Yeah, they won but I think the players were too relaxed or they probably underrate the opponent team. Madrid should not be struggling against a small team like Valladolid. I think it is high time for Ancelotti to start putting pressure on them because they just wait for the ball to take it and this gives opponents chance to pass and create problems.
They should learn from Barcelona who doesn't give their opponents chances to pass or leave any player unmarked. They had a good game thou but they were very weak in pressing. At some point, I thought they were on training ground seeing how slow they were playing.

Real Madrid excelled everything over Valladolid, the difference in quality between the two teams was very visible in this match, Valladolid was unable to get out of pressure and finally had to submit to Real Madrid with a score of 3-0. Kylian Mbappe who made his debut as a starter at the Santiago Bernabeu was unable to score, this was Mbappe first appearance at the Santiago Bernabeu after joining Real Madrid this summer. There was little attacking before half-time, but after half-time Mbappe's side became more attacking and ferocious. Because meanwhile Rodrigo missed the ball the most and was unable to score but later succeeded.
Ancelotti was well aware that Mbappe was struggling to score in this match, then he was replaced by Endrick who then scored the third goal for Real Madrid. This victory was Real Madrid's first this season after previously having to share points with Mallorca. The additional three points will make Real Madrid players even more enthusiastic in collecting points in the next match.
Mbappe maybe should be required time to adapt with Real Madrid so that's why he still unable to in form and i have to says people expectation is very high to him so that's why everytime Mbappe played people will always be expect Mbappe can scores for Real Madrid but in fact until week 2 Mbappe still hasn't scores for Real Madrid even when the match against Valladolid last night Mbappe looks deadlock which caused Ancelotti have to replace him to Endrick but people never thought Endrick who only played 10 minutes can scored 3rd goal for Real Madrid so i think a bit ironic to see the situation of Mbappe last night because people expected he can scores but in fact Endrick who can able to make his debut goal with Real Madrid in Laliga

Let him play a few more rounds, then it will be clear what he is capable of in Real. 
After two league games as a Real Madrid player, Kylian Mbappe is yet to register his first league goal for his new club but like you rightly said, I don't think that should give anyone the reason to doubt his goal scoring abilities because he's proven his quality and what he can do as a striker on countless occasions so I believe he'll surely find his scoring boots sooner than we can imagine.
It's just the beginning of the season and maybe because Mbappe hasn't really been able to follow Real Madrid's style of play. But, really, at the beginning of the season that should have finally shone and made his fans satisfied, it turned out not to be so. Is this really overconfident and too high expectations? Or is it too early to judge?
Source: Endrick replaced Mbappe
Ancelotti's decision to replace Mbappe with Endrick was very appropriate. Many even said that the decision should have been made much earlier so that Endrick could score more goals than Mbappe who could not score even 1 in almost the entire match.
I agree that Mbappe is mostly effective from the left but that would mean taking Vini out of that wing and we all know Vini is not effective at all on the right. As things stand, Ancelotti is going to find a way for things to work because both Vini and Mbappe are too valuable to be on the bench and the only solution I see is for Mbappe to keep playing from the middle. I believe with time there will be more understanding.
As for Mbappe, ill prefer he starts learning how to be a centre forward because his pace is his biggest strength and as he ages, that pace will reduce and if he doesn't evolve it will be a problem for him. The same way Ronaldo evolved would be the best decision for Mbappe right now.
Mbappe position in Real Madrid is a tough problem for Ancelotti. There is a meme on social media that with Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrygo, the attacking system of Real Madrid skew seriously to the left and on the right, they only have Dani Carvajal for that swing.As for Mbappe, ill prefer he starts learning how to be a centre forward because his pace is his biggest strength and as he ages, that pace will reduce and if he doesn't evolve it will be a problem for him. The same way Ronaldo evolved would be the best decision for Mbappe right now.
It is only a meme but somewhat it shows current problems in Real Madrid. They still lack of a good striker after Ronaldo and Benzema leave their club some seasons ago. In the last season, Jude helped them scoring many goals but in future, they actually need to have a world class striker and Mbappe can be released to his favorite position again. It will help them to have better contributions in attacking and more goals from Mbappe as well as help other attacking players have more space to play and they can together become a stronger team.
But I don't think he needs to play on the left wing or anywhere else, he will score goals, we'll see. Mbappe has always been a great striker, quick and moving well without the ball. He missed three or four chances to score today, maybe because of the pressure around him. Mbappe joined a completely new league and system. It can be seen that all teams are on high alert with Mbappe and have strategies to lock down the 25-year-old superstar. Mbappe gradually felt the pressure on his shoulders after joining Real Madrid and becoming the center of European football throughout the summer of 2024. Give him more time.
