People who believe Barcelona to win are Barcelona's fans lol, people who have brain will believe in Real Madrid.

It's okay for Real Madrid not win in the first match, you know this is just a beginning, there are still 37 weeks to go. Real Madrid is a consistent team, we shouldn't forget that in the last season people predict Girona will win, but turns out Real Madrid overtake them in the middle-late season.

While Barcelona is always behind Real Madrid.

I don't agree with you. You said Barca has no chance to win La Liga. But they still have a slight chance to win. A good result in the opening week makes me feel they will be fighting harder against Real Madrid for the title. In terms of quality, yeah, Madrid is most likely the best club.
But it's all about the consistency of the club to win the La Liga trophy. A win against Valencia could boost Barcelona's title hopes. It would build their confidence.

Sorry, but how do you measure that Barcelona is not even remotely close to Real Madrid? I'm fine if you said that at the middle of the season, but we're still at the first week of La liga.

We already had 8 out of 10 matches on the first day of LaLiga, and with many changes and developments, there is one thing I have noticed which is: the number of goals scored. So far, in the 8 matches played no team has kept a clean sheet, and also all 16 teams have scored at least one goal.

For someone who gathers information and has knowledge about betting, I would suggest that the last 2 matches of the day are likely to have goals as well. The odds of at least one goal being scored are quite favorable. So, there may be a good opportunity in the matches: Valladolid vs Espanyol and Villarreal vs Atl Madrid.

With more talented players joining LaLiga, we can expect thrills and unexpected surprises. Could we see a repeat of Gironas impressive performance from last season?

In this match, many parties certainly did not expect Real Madrid to play a draw. Because if you look at the contents of the Real Madrid and Mallorca squads, the difference is clear, Real Madrid is superior. So everyone who watches and bets on this match will definitely think that Real Madrid will definitely win this match very easily. However, it turns out that Real Madrid, with its many great players, was unable to get the full three points in that match. I was quite surprised by this result, because in that match Real Madrid continuously attacked Mallorca's defense area. But unfortunately this attack did not produce additional goals for Real Madrid. In fact, in the final minutes, Real Madrid players lost focus and almost allowed Mallorca to score the winning goal. However, fortunately this was thwarted by the Real Madrid defender. However, what was a bit unfortunate was that Mendy committed an unnecessary foul in that match which resulted in a red card. This will certainly have a slight impact on Real Madrid's defense in the upcoming match. But even so, hopefully Real Madrid can win the upcoming match against Valladolid. The reason is that if Real Madrid draws or loses again, it will certainly have a slight impact on its position in the La Liga standings and of course it will have a little difficulty competing with Barcelona, ​​which currently has three points.

The fact that there are still some people who end up believing that Barcelona may win the league is a great achievement for Barcelona, I see it 0% chance right now, but people did vote for that option at the poll. While I do find it quite funny that Real Madrid got a tie on the very first game, and that is normally not that good looking because they should be able to beat Mallorca easily, so this doesn't really look good for them, they are still by far the better team.

Barcelona is not even remotely close to being as good as Real Madrid right now, which is a shame because we watched these two teams battle it out for over a decade, probably for far longer than that but I remember just the last 25 years or so, and it was so much fun, it looks like not that close anymore.

Actually I do not know what could have gone wrong with real Madrid because I still don't know understand how a team that comfortably beat atalanta in the super cup cannot beat real marlloca in their first match of the league, could it be fatigue? Wrong strategy or one of those days when it seems as if nothing was going to work, perhaps this is not the Real Madrid we all expect to see, they weren't at their best considering the fact that they had all their best players on the pitch and even more on the bench, this must be such a disappointing start for the team, the coach and the fans and i hope they recover from it and get their first win of the season.

The first match of the day in Spanish La Liga will be played between Valladolid and Espanyol. Valladolid finished second in the Spanish 2nd Division and were promoted to Spanish La Liga. Espanyol, just like Valladolid, were in the Spanish 2nd Division last season. They finished 4th in the Spanish 2nd Division. After the playoffs they were promoted to the Spanish La Liga. This match could be a battle of two equal powers. I don't usually bet on matches like this. But Valladolid made better signings in the transfer window than their opponents. I think they will be the favorites in this match today.

Although Mallorca played with a defensive strategy and waited a lot in the back line, they were able to take advantage of the moment when they got a chance to attack. The strategy they implemented in this match was so effective that it could make them achieve good results. Getting a draw against a team like Real Madrid is a good result, because at least they avoided defeat. Yes, you are right, there will definitely be many people who don't like Real Madrid will start comparing the results of the matches they achieved in the first week, and of course Mbappe will get a lot of attention. But I think they don't have to rush, because it's still very early, the real journey has just begun.

Mallorca's defense did look so solid in the match that it made it difficult for Real Madrid players to develop their game. I also see the weakness in the midfield as the reason why the match could end in a draw, apart from the finishing which may also have not been optimally utilized. Mallorca even got two great opportunities to break into Real Madrid's goal even though the opportunities failed to be maximized.

There will always be comparisons for Real Madrid and Barcelona fans because the rivalry between the two has been going on for so long. Even in the era of Ronaldo and Messi, this has happened where both fans have compared. Mbappe did not play badly in the match and I think it was just luck that was not on his side.

Agree. In the early minutes, Real Madrid's defense line didn't look very good. But in the attack line I still see Vini Jr and the others working together well from the start. It's just that I see Mbappe sometimes pushing too hard to shoot the ball instead of passing it back to another player who is in a better position. I hope Real Madrid doesn't become a club that puts too much emphasis on individual play. Because I prefer this team to play patiently and work together very well as usual. But overall there are no serious problems in this team. It's just that some improvements need to be made, such as in the back line. And I hope that in the attack line all the players can be calmer and don't need to rush. Because the results were not as good as seen in that match.

It must be difficult if the opposing team plays with total defense. The first half Mallorca was not very defensive based on the available statistics Mallorca made 10 clearances while Real Madrid made 13. In the second half Mallorca only practiced a defensive game after the equalizer occurred.
For those who do not like Real Madrid, of course the draw that occurred is a reason to compare Real Madrid with their support team. For example, Barcelona fans who are very likely to highlight Kylan Mbappe who failed to provide victory.

The result was quite disappointing because Madrid in the second half gave a lot of empty space in the middle line, so that Mallorca players took advantage of the space to steal points. It's only a matter of time for Ancelotti to find his best game, if we see Mbappe and Vinicius always attack from the left side, that means Mbappe can't be in the middle because he is not the type of attacker who is quiet and receives passes. Benzema who previously wore the number 9 jersey gave the left and right sides to Vinicius and Rodrygo to focus on being reliable passers. For now, Mbappe is still awkward and can't play the same role. In my opinion, if Ancelotti doesn't solve this position problem, it will be difficult to have his best attack.

It was definitely an unplanned loss of points, but I don't see any reason to draw any conclusions from it. After a summer that was busy for all the top players, you can't expect the teams to be in good shape at the start of the season. Real should win games like this with any lineup and condition, but still, randomness sometimes works against them. But there is a good opportunity to bet on Real's next game, I have already done so.

The start of the match was not good, but I feel it was fair. Madrid did not play well. Looking at the list of players that Madrid played is very extraordinary, they should be able to win. But I see there is a big problem. Against Mallorca they did not have a balance. Balance in attacking or defending. Ancelloti has Vini, Belingham, Mbaape, Valverde, and Rodrygo. They have excellent attacking ability. But in Madrid's defense is bad, they only have Tchouameni who has better defensive skills. Practically they have a very difficult time getting the ball when they lose possession. It seems that Ancelotti must immediately improve this condition. Madrid must be balanced, so that they are able to play more dominantly. They must play as a team instead of an individual.

Where did you get this photo?

I specifically watched the replay of the match at the minute indicated in your photo 22:46, and there were only 8 Mallorca players, maybe you will see this for yourself if you watch the match. And in your photo there are 11 Mallorca players on the field and a goalkeeper, which cannot even correspond to reality.

Mallorca focused on defense, this is expected, most teams play against Real Madrid exactly like this, but they not only defended but also created quite a lot of good moments and could even score more, so I consider this draw a fair result. This is how Barcelona has an advantage over Real Madrid from the first round, unexpectedly, but for the intrigue in La Liga this is good.

The results of this match are understandable because this is the start of the season. But if in the second week the same results happen again then it will be difficult to understand and will be difficult to understand. But what is more difficult to understand is that there were too many draws in this first week. Which causes many of us to lose in bets for those who favor one of the teams.

I hope Real Madrid can show more dominance in the second week when they face Valladolid. because it would be quite surprising if Real Madrid again failed to get full points in the second week. For now I hope Atletico Madrid and Valladolid don't disappoint me. Because maybe I will favorite them in today's match.

You lost your ticket but Madrid did not lost the match, they share the points. It was a disappointing game thou because the midfield was nothing to write home about, there was no creativity and pass accuracy. Modric wasn't himself because I can't even remember how many times he lost possession. We are going to watch series of drama this season that will probably lead to fight between Mbappe and Vini since both of them choose to play for themselves and being selfish.

Really can't believe the result with all the players they have. Ancelotti needs to instill discipline on some of these players especially Vini who is easily provoked and gets out of the game because of immaturity. Madrid would have won that game but sadly they played against each other instead of playing together as a team. Mind you, this is just the beginning and there's still a long way to go.

You can't even imagine the amount of people that actually made this bet and with all the expectations on real Madrid what do you expect will be the results if anything go wrong ? Well the results as would be will be a devastating one and it did affect the gambling world at a very large extent because so many people have lost their bet and some crazy gamblers like Drake would have even staked so much on this game that's if he is finds it interesting to bet on although his stakes are majorly on games with no or little expectations of winning.

Barcelona started well and scored their first goal as Valencia scored in the first half, Barcelona conceded the first goal, I thought they wanted to disappoint their fans, as they always do, but they proved me wrong and made a comeback to secure the three points in their first away game of the season, Lewandowski scored two goals in their first game of the season, but I don't think Barcelona will consider him as their main striker after this season because he is 35 years old and will turn 36 this month, I believe Barcelona would prefer to have a striker under the age of 30 to compete with Real Madrid.

Furthermore, it's a good start of this season for Hansi Flick to win his first La Liga game as Barcelona's head coach, this is just the beginning of the season, and we don't have to praise or believe that he will continue with Xavi Hernandez level, despite that they didn't have any new players in their squad, but I believe that in the next 5 to 6 weeks will decide whether he is the best manager to improve the squad using the available players.

Real Madrid's squad is full of young players. There are no experienced players in the squad. So I thought we weren't going to get a lot of good performances from this team at the start of the season. Players also need time to bond. But after the excellent performance against Atalanta, my expectations from Real Madrid increased. This Madrid squad played well against Atalanta. This is why I bet on Real Madrid to win. But Madrid failed to perform well against Mallorca.

Every player in Real Madrid's midfield is talented. But in this match I felt lack of experienced players in the squad. Without Toni Kross or Luka Modrich in the squad, Madrid's overall performance would undoubtedly have been stronger. But I believe that gradually with the help of Ancelotti, this squad of Madrid will become stronger. Because every player in the squad is very talented.
