Each of us would definitely say that Real Madrid is stronger than Mallorca, that is a fact. However, in reality, Real Madrid still had difficulty breaking down Mallorca's goal by more than 1 goal. Mallorca trailed 0-1 to Real Madrid in the first half, but in the second half Mallorca recovered and found an equalizer. The match so far is a 1-1 draw, but Real Madrid's dominance can be felt in this match.

I think Real Madrid's chances of winning are still very high even though the score remained 1-1 until the 70th minute. Ancelotti made substitutions to increase the intensity of the attack, while Mbappe has not found a goal from several good opportunities. Maybe it's just a matter of time until Real Madrid scores a goal, but Mallorca is also ambitious to get points in their home match.

I don't understand what good performance means in this case because we must be aware that Dani Olmo's performance was still quite good before but he is still not in the current squad.
Previously if you look at the news about Dani Olmo before the season started he was still having problems with player registration but there was no more clarity about it and seeing his condition now where the first match he was not brought I don't know where he is at the moment whether it is a problem in fitness or a registration problem that is still hampered because there is no information that I can find on this.
But if it's a registration issue Barcelona should know what to do because it would be a shame if they bought him for a lot of money but couldn't get him to play because it would be a waste.

I think this was an ok performance by Hansi Flick as the first match of the season after his team was destroyed by Monaco 3-0. I mean he made a good comeback. The reason I am saying that he did an ‘OK’ performance is that they were struggling since the beginning of the match as well. In fact, they were behind 1 goal at first.

Lewandowski is currently the main man for Barcelona. His contract situation is very important. But Barcelona will also have to keep an eye on his performance. I mean he is getting old and he cannot continue his performance forever, and he also needs more rest. So Barcelona might need to find a new substitution when he leaves Barcelona. Barcelona's squad also lacks depth, so this might come back haunting them. Or they might just bring up another superstar from La Masia, who knows! Lamine Yamal’s game also needs some work and needs to be more mature with the ball. He is doing very fine as an 18 year old though.

I also predict that Real Madrid will come out victorious in this match, especially since Real Madrid are currently leading 0-1 through a goal scored by Rodrygo. Well, if you think that Rodrygo was eliminated from the line up in this match, you are very wrong because he is an important player in the Real Madrid squad and he decorates the front line with Vini and Mbappe. I don't think Rodrygo will go to another team because he is so comfortable with Real Madrid that his place will not be replaced by another player unless he is injured.

Apart from that, the match has entered the second half where both teams are playing quite well and for Mallorca of course they will try hard to equalize in the second half. Mbappe must be guarded closely by the Mallorca defenders because I see that Mbappe is very ambitious to score a goal in his debut match in Laliga this season.

Barcelona started with a great win against Valencia in their first game on La Liga, and the coach is ready to help the club win trophies. I am very happy for them, and I believe if they can continue like this, they will have a chance to win the title this season. Let's see how their next game goes next week, but I am confident they will still do their best and get another three points to keep them at the top. Lewandowski is really remarkable, but he is becoming old and will not perform as well as he once did. Mbappe should aim to win goals in the league because if he does not have the chance to score, Lewandowski will get the chance and win the Golden Boot.

Real Madrid is doing extremely well against Mallorca in the first half; all they need to do now is add another goal in the second half to secure the victory because one goal is insufficient because anything can happen and cause Madrid to draw their first game against Mallorca. let's see how the second half goes. I see Mallorca performing well and attempting to score in the last minutes of the first half of the game. Real Madrid are favourites 9f winning the fame tonight.

LaLiga is back and as usual none of the matches played are without goals, all matches witnessed at least 2 goals for now before the rest of matches. I could watch Barcelona’s match against Valencia and a great comeback from them, even with many injuries in their midfield, they could create chances, strong gameplay and score two great goals.

Real Madrid is winning the first half against Mallorca with a beautiful goal by rodrego, about this match, I find good opportunities to bet on more goals, a sure win for Real Madrid.

Hansi Flick tried his luck by fielding more young players, and fortunately it worked as planned. Valencia was actually able to put up a fight, they tried to take advantage of the home game well, although in the end they had to admit Barcelona greatness. This is a very good result to look at the long journey ahead, Hansi Flick has marked his debut perfectly. For the next match Hansi Flick still has to work hard to make Barcelona game more organized, but considering this is the first week, of course everything still needs adaptation. Overall Barcelona looks so dominant for a team like Valencia, we can see it from the match statistics.

On the other hand, Lewandowski who managed to score a pair of goals seemed to confirm that he was not finished yet, even though he was already 35 years old. The presence of Hansi Flick as the new manager will certainly make Lewandowski more comfortable, because the two had worked together at Bayern Munchen. Yamal again stole the attention with his slick appearance, continuing what he had done at Euro 2024 yesterday, if Barcelona could get Nico Williams from Atletic Bilbao, maybe Barcelona attack line would be even sharper.

Real Madrid is a strong team in the current La Liga, and they are also one of the most successful teams. It is very difficult to form a team like Real Madrid and since Madrid has become stronger this season, they have enough merit to be champions in this new season as well. Great game today against Malacca where Real Madrid are playing brilliantly, and they are already one goal ahead before halftime. Rodrigo scored a great goal, Real Madrid have had a great start to their season, and they will certainly finish it well. As they are ahead to win today's match, however, they will attack more excitedly after halftime and win this match. And if they win this match today, they will collect points in the new season in the points table, but it will be a lot of fun for Madrid fans.

No not really. Valencia pressured them heavily yesterday, infact they made life difficult for Barcelona during the first half. Infact, this was the Valencia I knew years ago in La Liga.
Two solid goals but he didn't do all the work alone. Lamine Yamal also had a great game as he was also able to pick up a pass for and assist yesterday night. Well, I feel this would be his very year and would have such a great success. After so much criticisms last season, I expect a much different one this year under Hansi Flick.

So many loopholes to fill up honestly. They need to find a way to absorb all of the pressure from clubs and yesterday, they lacked that honestly.
I cannot say nothing about Robert Lewandoski right now, you know he one time worked with Hansi Flick and I'm not sure he'll want to see him exit the club next season. He could still be around whilst they build around Lamine Yamal.

Yamal is certainly a rising star, but in how far can they really rely upon him the same way that a club like Real Madrid a rely on players like Mbappe or Bellingham? Lewandowski had some amazing years when he played for Dortmund and Bayern and he can still be valuable, but I don't see him playing on the same level as top stars like Haaland or Mbappe. Let's not forget that we are still talking about a club which would like to win the Champions League. You would rather want a Lewandowski at the age of 28 than one who is going to turn 36 in a couple of days. And let's see whether he will become more susceptible to injuries. He will score some goals in La Liga, no doubt about that, but winning titles requires world class players.

By the way, Yamal in my opinion is still a great talent. He had an amazing European Championship especially because of his world class goal against France, but the real deal is not to score such a goal once, but to repeat it again and again. Barcelona was used to insanely efficient goal scorers. Messi, Suarez, Neymar, and then these incredible hard workers like Iniesta, Busquets etc. Barcelona is far from that level of balance across all positions within the team.

I am wondering whether Bellingham is playing the right position at the moment in the left midfield. Ancelotti probably knows what he is doing, but I thought he would leave him in the center behind the attackers since he covers so much of the pitch anyway. Now in the left midfield, I doubt that he can be as effective as he used to be last season.

Of course Barcelona is trying to improve everything, but they need time and hard work. Some of the academy players who have now entered Hansi Flick's main squad are basically good, but improvement will not come immediately in one season. Barcelona's performance when they beat Valencia was quite good in my opinion, but they are still very far from their golden era.

I also doubt that Barcelona can beat Real Madrid in competitive matches such as La Liga, Copa Del Rey or others, but it is never impossible.
So far Barcelona is combining experienced players with young players who are developing, their performance is good even though it is doubtful. Barcelona can beat Real Madrid or at least trouble them, but Barcelona's rating is certainly below Real Madrid.

After all, no one can guarantee that Real Madrid will always be able to beat Barcelona throughout this season in El Clasico, of course because there are various scenarios that need to be considered. Lewandowski scored 2 goals in the first match yesterday, meanwhile Yamal, who played well at EURO 2024, also showed great talent and skill throughout the match.

Barcelona still has some good players it can depend on. Lewandowski is one of the best player and Yamal is a rising star. They were vital in today's win to come back from being 0-1 behind to winning it 2-1 against Valencia. Barcelona started the league with an away win. While its last season competitor Girona started with a draw. Girona might not be close to competition this year though. Real Madrid is playing its first match of the season against Mallorca is few minutes and it should be an easy win for Real. I don't see any other team coming to take the first place of Real Madrid or second place of Barcelona this season too.

That sounds optimistic like hell to me. Barcelona is still not quite there in my opinion and they are still trying to find their way to replace the last golden era. Beating Valencia 2-1 after bring one goal down isn't quite what you would expect from a team like Barcelona. I thought they would show more dominance and be more efficient in scoring.

Now with the team they have at the moment, I doubt that they will beat Real Madrid over the course of the whole season, let alone in the Champions League if they should face each other. I would as well doubt that Barcelona would be able to beat Manchester City. I am not saying that they aren't a top team, but there is still a gap between them and two to three best teams in the world in my opinion. Sure they could still win a game against them, but I'd still put City and Real Madrid at a 10/10 whereas Barcelona would be more like an 8/10.

A really solid win is on the horizon. I can feel it.    Ancelotti doesn't want to cut Rodrygo from the starting lineup after Mbappe signing. This is why he prefers a 4-3-3 formation, Bellingham being one of the members of the middle three.

I was expecting so. Rodrygo is also one of the important players for Real Madrid. This must be enough to put an end to Manchester City rumours for him. I assume he would also rather staying in this situation.

Real Madrid has built another dream team I believe. A really scary team to dominate not only the La Liga but also the Champions League.  

Rayo Vallecano performed very poorly last season. It was the 17th team in the points table. However, Rayo's players played very well against Real Sociedad in today's match. Although I bet on Real Sociedad to win this match, I lost the bet. Real Sociedad lost the match by 2-1. The gameplay of Rayo players was very organized in this match.

Real Sociedad's players had 66% of the ball in this match. Even then, the team could not score a single goal in 90 minutes. Although the first half was a goalless draw, Rayo Vallecano scored two goals in the second half. But despite Real Sociedad attacking a lot, they were left behind. If Rayo Vallecano's players continue to perform as they have in this match, the team can probably finish in the top 6 of the table.

Barcelona's success in securing 3 points from Valencia is a good first step for them at the start of this season. It was not easy to beat Valencia, but the Barcelona squad which had 5 young players in it managed to win an important victory. Hansi Flick is good at handling a young team like Barcelona now, he can combine it with several experienced players such as Lewandowski, Raphinha, Iñigo Martínez and others.

The match statistics also prove that Barcelona has an advantage in the quality of its play. They excel in possession of the ball and also kicks towards goal, they also have a passing accuracy of almost 90%. Not sure if Barcelona can be underestimated this season, but I believe the Real Madrid squad has greater strength.

Real Madrid vs Mallorca

Real Madrid XI: Courtois, Carvajal, Rudiger, Militao, Mendy, Tchouameni, Valverde, Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vinicius, Mbappe.

Mallorca XI: Greif, Maffeo, Valjent, Raillo, Mojica, Costa, Mascarell, Dani, Darder, Asano, Muriqi.

Mbappe will start his first Laliga match against Mallorca tonight at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, what is your thoughts about Mbappe's first match.

Against Valencia, he showed once again why he's worth every penny. Now, under Hansi Flick, Barcelona's playing a bit differently. No classic tiki-taka dominance all the time. Its more varied, more adaptable. And you know what? Lewandowski is thriving in it. Him and Yamal, they're the anchors in this new system.

Sure, its early days and there are still some kinks to work out. But grabbing those three points early on is huge. And Lewandowski, he's got that killer instinct. When the pressure's on, he delivers. But he's not getting any younger. And that contract situation... well, thats a whole other conversation. If he keeps playing like this, maybe extending him makes sense. He brings stability, and thats important during a transition like this.

On the other hand, Father Time catches up with everyone. Barcelona's got to think long-term. Its a tough call, but they need to find that balance between getting the most out of Lewandowski now and planning for the future.

I  am also big fan of Barcelona Football team . Players are performing well and they have capability to win against any big team of World. They have capacity to win the title of LaLiga . That is not small tournament and Valencia tean is also not small team and Valencia team lose this match and did only one goal in this match. Lewandowski is the only person who did two goals in this match and his team won due to effort of all players. Because one player could not win any match and always team won the match . So I will not give credit to only one player because many players assist Lewandowski to kick and the result is in front of us .

There were changes made by Barcelona in their first match, Flick still played some of their young players. The two pivots were filled by young La Masia players, but their performance was quite good. For the defensive line, their performance was not so impressive, but it is natural that the two center backs are not Barcelona's core players. Even though they were behind, Lewandowski and his colleagues did not give up and put pressure on. Uniquely, Flick placed Raphina behind Lewandowski, her performance was quite good with her new position. Luckily, Barca was able to win this match and they secured full points. Next, I am quite sure that Barca's game will develop even more. Moreover, if Flick plays all of his core players. Maybe in the match against Bilbao, Flick will field his core players as the main starters. Perhaps with that, we will see Barcelona's performance much better.
