You are right, previously Barcelona did not perform well, of course their performance was very doubtful. Moreover, in the final match, Mbappe was able to score a quick goal so that it was assumed that it would be easy for Real Madrid to beat Barcelona. But in the game behind with a score of 1-0 Barcelona was able to improve the quality of their game even better so that they could come back and close the victory with a big score.

Of course, gamblers will find it difficult to choose with a big win because they observe the statistics of the last 5 matches, of course it is difficult to use as a good benchmark. But yes, can Barcelona perform better in La Liga considering that they need a lot of points to be able to catch up with Atletico Madrid. For now, we see that the competition in La Liga is so strong and Real Madrid is more focused on La Liga so that if Barcelona cannot improve their performance, it will be difficult to seize the top position in the standings.

Real Madrid learnt nothing from the first league of la liga. I don't know if it was Ancelotti's fault or the players he has does not fit the profile to play the kind of football required to win against Barcelona. If you want to win Barcelona, there are two things you must do.
One is to slow the tempo of the game down. Barcelona excels in high-intensity games, that's why they don't have a problem winning big teams. That's why they're doing so well in the champions league but have struggled recently in the league.
The small teams have understood this, so they don't bother to play full attack against Bacrelon. If you recall, most of the goals yesterday where from counters. They know how to tear defense apart in seconds. If Madrid had not attacked that much, Barcelona would not have been able to play that well. If Barcelona can find a way to exploit the low blocks and pragmatic nature of small teams in the league, and if their attack can be clinical enough, they will regain their first position easily

Secondly, a team playing against Barcelona was be ready to press constantly for 90 minutes. You cant allow them hold the ball and be comfortable with it. Always mark them and make sure they don do anything useful with it.


I didn't bet on Real Madrid. My bet was on Barcelona. I was not so confident so i dint not stake high but i my money was on Barcelona because I follow both teams closely and I know how they both perform in matches like this.

I have been trying to rap my head around this Real Madrid and Barcelona analysis that I have been seeing since yesterday and all I have seen from a lot of critiques is that many people are just in for anything that will make Real Madrid fall so badly, the message is clear with all this Yamal campaign as the next future of Barcelona. It was similar thing they were doing With Mbape when he was in PSG and been used as tool to break down Messi but he passed.

All I'm saying, if Barcelona is that good and reserving, they should be at the top of the Laliga table but they know can't, they couldn't beat Atletico but they were so happy like they have made Real Madrid to go back to stone age but when you check the statistics again, the time Real Madrid has won and finish Barcelona is many times huge than the opposite. Congratulations to them anyways but Real Madrid has fall short to be honest, Anceloti need to sit down and think about yesterday again.

Lamine Yamal is young but very important to Barcelona. His pace and great dribbling skills gave Real Madrid a very tough time and it also helped to open the defense up for constant attack. Real Madrid was not in good shape because even with a red card against Barca earlier in the second half they couldn't put enough pressure to get an equalizer. Raphinha was also on top of his game and I began to wonder where the news was coming from that he would be sold this January. There Re just few strikers in the transfer market that can play like him. Congratulations to Barcelona, they deserve the trophy.

Currently Sociedad and Villarreal are on their 25 minutes of the first half and everything is equal between them for now because there is no much different with 53 to 47 possession but although Villarreal was the team I thought will have good possession considering their stake, so actually Villarreal will win Sociedad to night because they have Thierno Barry who is a very good forwarder by rescuing them from Leganes last time with 4 goals, though He is yet to start scoring but before the end of this first half or starting from the second Thierno Barry will clear the way for Villarreal because he is one of my trusted player among Villarreal stars. Actually I don't no why I have a special like for Villarreal today in terms of wining perhaps because of Thierno Barry.

Barcelona, ​​which seemed to be able to play better in this match, was still quite surprising. because I hope at least the goal difference between the two is not as big as this result. because the score 2-5 is really difficult to understand when this match is a Real Madrid vs Barcelona match. This seems to show that Barcelona is still better even though this team is in financial problems. But we have to admit that Barcelona was the most effective team in spending on their players in the transfer market at the start of last season. The young players brought to this club can really be utilized optimally. And I think this is also thanks to the genius of their new coach, Hansi Flick.

But if we look back at the Spanish Super Cup Final match last season, the result of yesterday's match actually doesn't feel so strange and will feel normal. because in last season's final the opposite happened, namely Real Madrid managed to beat Barcelona with a big score, namely 4-1. And now Barcelona wins with a score of 2-5. Well the difference between these 3 goals is very interesting. And this is like Barcelona who managed to take revenge against Real Madrid for the defeat suffered by Barcelona last season in the same final. 

Whenever Barcelona is going to meet with Real Madrid, there is always this form they use to come with which is different from what they use to play when facing other teams. They play brilliantly well and gives their best in order not to be defeated, they don’t want to be a laughing stock in the eyes of Real Madrid fans because of their top rivalry with each other. Barcelona did play well in this match and Real Madrid’s performance could not even come close to matching theirs which lead them to that flawless victory we saw from them yesterday. Project Mbappe is still yet to actualise with many people not seeing the relevance of the young man yet since he joined the team. By next season, everyone expects Mbappe to have already adapted to the team and will play to his best when needed in their matches. Still giving him some benefits as this is his first season in the club.

I couldn't post anything on my social media yesterday because of this humiliation, Barcelona fans were all over my head even when the match hasn't ended yet. I was praying so bad to see Real Madrid do that magic they do when the team is in desperate need but it kept getting worse, I was helpless and that was how we lose one of the match that could have sent a big message to other club, I think the club is getting useless, nothing serious will come out of that team anytime soon.

Real Madrid defense was one of the weakest I have seen so far, the attack was a bit fair. There is no way you will win a match if your defense is weak. This is not the first time, it has been like that in Real Madrid matches but I thought there will improvement since it's final but that match was personal for Barcelona, they truly demonstrated how El clasico has always been. If Anceloti continue with this result, he might get sack in the future.

Sociedad vs Villarreal is shaping up to be an intriguing clash, especially with both teams looking to maintain momentum in La Liga. Real Sociedad, playing at home, will likely have the edge in terms of confidence. They’ve been solid at Anoeta this season, and their balanced squad under Imanol Alguacil continues to perform well. Their attacking trio, led by Mikel Oyarzabal and Alexander Isak, has been a key strength, and if they’re on form, they’ll be tough to break down.

Sociedad’s compact defense and quick counter-attacks should give Villarreal a lot of problems, especially if they leave too much space. If the hosts manage to control the tempo and restrict Villarreal's offensive play, they’ll be favorites to come out on top.

That said, Villarreal’s creative players like Gerard Moreno and Samuel Chukwueze can cause problems if they get enough ball. If Setién’s side can take advantage of Sociedad's potential defensive lapses, this could be a tighter game than expected.

It’s definitely one to watch, with Sociedad pushing for European spots and Villarreal hoping to climb up the table after some difficult fixtures. In my view, Sociedad will have the slight edge here, but Villarreal could certainly make it a difficult match for them.

Barcelona dropping to the 3rd in the league table is due to their poor form towards the end of the season. But with the performance that they have shown against Madrid last night, I think they are beginning to regain their form and I believe that their fortune in the league is going to improve. I don't think Atletico Madrid will remain solid in the league for too long. Barcelona just need to stop losing points to smaller teams. This really cost them lots of points already. But I just believe that Atletico Madrid can't win this league, despite their solid points gap between them and Barcelona The league is just going to be between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
There was also a time when Barcelona had a good points lead at the top of the table, but somehow they lost it all. I believe same thing can happen to Atletico Madrid. Barcelona just need to be consistent in winning. But what I don't really understand is how can Barcelona keep beating Real Madrid with a big scoreline this season, but they will struggle to defeat smaller teams.

Barcelona played brilliantly! They moved through the midfield as if Real Madrid wasn't even there. However, it's true that they don't always play at this level—sometimes they can lose to weaker teams. But in this match, Barcelona exploited all their opportunities and won. They showed great teamwork and took advantage of Real Madrid's vulnerabilities.
Raphinha was the star player, but others also performed well. Lamine stood out, constantly changing his style of play and creating scoring chances. Real Madrid couldn't cope with such a dynamic approach.

My confidence was already building at the start of the match especially after seeing Mbappe score in this match but my hopes were dashed after Madrid crumbled again at the hands of Barcelona.

Honestly, I will praise Flick's scheme against Barcelona, not only in this match but also in the previous match where Flick was very clever to take advantage of the gaps in Ancelotti's scheme in the match. Previously they did a defensive scheme with an offside trap that destroyed Madrid in the first El Clasico and in this match they did another scheme where they deliberately let Madrid with their speed and all out in attack but kept some players especially Raphinha in attack to mess up with long passes and fast counter attacks.

As a result, 5 goals were scored as a result of the counter-attacks and long passes. This is clearly a condition that in my opinion even though I don't want to admit it, this is a failure of Ancelotti in managing the game scheme in 90 minutes of the match.
The problem is that although this is a trophy that is not too prestigious, but still when losing to Barcelona for Madrid this clearly hits them especially with a fairly heavy score like this.

Barcelona's win over Real Madrid in the final was actually expected but not with a big score or the number of goals scored was not that many.
For those who bet on Real Madrid vs Barcelona's win, they did not predict over 3.5 considering Barcelona's performance was not that good, especially since the team Barcelona faced was Real Madrid. It is impossible for anyone not to expect Barcelona to win.


This is an expression of people who judge after the results are obtained after the match.

There will be those who feel disappointed by this defeat, it is surprising that the goal difference is far enough where the authority of Real Madrid continues to be taken by Barcelona?

In the midst of the problems that Barcelona continues to face but they can still win means that they can be confident against Real Madrid much better than a weak team, this does not make sense.

Honestly, we bet on Real Madrid, but we have to admit Barcelona's victory.

Real Madrid have performed very badly in the last 2 matches against Barcelona. Especially the performance of Madrid's defenders was terrible. Real Madrid conceded 9 goals in the two matches. Real Madrid does not usually lose by such a large margin. Also, Madrid does not usually concede so many goals. Madrid's defense is quite strong. But Madrid's defenders failed to do well against Barcelona.

Ancelotti is an experienced coach. He will definitely be able to identify Madrid's weaknesses. Ancelotti should try to strengthen Madrid's defense in the winter transfer window. Otherwise, Madrid will not be able to keep the top spot in the La Liga table. We do not see the expected good performance from Madrid on the Champions League platform either.

Real Madrid did lead the match with a score of 1-0 from the 5th minute to the 21st minute. But Barcelona managed to equalize the score to 1-1 by Lamine Yamal in the 22nd minute. And from then on Barcelona really became unstoppable throughout. first half by scoring more goals. And in the second half, all Barcelona fans must have felt anxious at that time because Barcelona only played with 10 players for almost the entire second half from the 56th minute. But with the big advantage they got from the first half, Barcelona ultimately remained safe with a score of 2-5 to end. From this match I think it has become clear that this season Barcelona is the superior one. But we can see different results in La Liga. because in La Liga, Real Madrid is now starting to gain the upper hand by ranking second. Meanwhile, Barcelona was only ranked 3rd. And unexpectedly, Atletico Madrid managed to remain firmly in first place.
Now, what makes me curious is how these three teams, namely Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​will face their two matches in the UCL.

Yep I do agree with you that most of real madrid player were little too lazy. All of thier defenders are like a crazy crap they didn't stop any vital scoring opportunity. Mostly when ever Barcelona tries to attack they easily manage to get their lead due to awful defensive job by real Madrid. Rather than Rudiger, the rest of the defenders were just busy in looking at Barca play and tactic instead of focusing on his position and role, wether it was Tchouameni, Mendy or Lucas Vasquez.
 
After a sad lose in cup final next time real Madrid will try more harder and never repeat such kind of terrible mistake. It's a lesson for god father Angelotti & his team. Anyway in January transfer windows management will try to find some solution for his defense line hole, maybe they will sign couple of defenders to replace the team weaknesses.

I wasn’t expecting such outcome in the match because I have seen how Real Madrid has improved in their games in their last five games; and for Barcelona, they just recover in their last two games after having some poor form due to injury to their star boy Lamine Yamal, but now the young boy is back from injury and he keep performing in his good form.

Real Madrid fans are blaming Ancelotti for some reasons which I don’t think it worth it because he used players that are among his first team, and they are all payed to play football, so it’s not their fault to lose game.

However, I think Real Madrid will be serious in signing defenders this time because their defense is very weak, and if they keep playing like this, they might not win the Laliga this season.

I don't think the red card had any global impact on the game. Yes, Barcelona had to defend more because they were outnumbered, but they still broke out into attack at times. Anyway, it was almost impossible to score 4 goals, despite the fact that Real scored the second goal right after a penalty kick. The match turned out to be amazing, such a spectacular match has not been for a long time and will not be for a long time to come

It must be admitted, in the last two El Clasico matches Barcelona really dominated. Even El Clasico in the final last night not only dominated Barcelona, ​​​​but also messed up the mentality of Real Madrid players. In addition, Real Madrid also did not defend well, Real Madrid's defense was very bad, and Barcelona deserved to win this match. Yes. I also agree with you, the red card received by goalkeeper Szczesny saved Real Madrid from a worse horror than Barcelona.

Overall, Barcelona's performance was very good while Real Madrid was very bad and there were no good players in the match, except for Mbappe's performance who played very well. And according to the news, Ancelotti was not fired after suffering a crushing defeat from Barcelona, ​​​​maybe because he lost in this Supercopa. But I'm sure if Madrid doesn't win one of the major trophies like (Liga/UCL/Copa) whatever at the end of the season, Ancelotti's future will end with Real Madrid.

Back to La Liga. Atlético Madrid finally managed to shift Real Madrid at the top of La Liga after winning 1-0 against Osasuna and now the top 5 teams have played matchday 19 except Villareal. The La Liga trophy competition is getting more competitive, let's see together. Will Real Madrid's crushing defeat by Barcelona affect or have a bad impact on La Liga.
