With the improvement in current conditions, Barcelona should have won this season and could easily beat Real Madrid, but Real Madrid will still be in trouble because so far ahead of their match against Barcelona Real madrid players have injured Eden Hazard, Ferland Mendy , Dani Carvajal who in my opinion can have a bad influence on Real Madrid's game going forward because they have one less striker.
Yes, that's what I mean, with Barcelona improving it will be a problem for Real Madrid's movement this season. Even though in the first match they were only able to get one point, but with a performance like that they should be able to do better in the next match. Indeed Real Madrid are still better than them, but Real Madrid must be more vigilant now.
Real Madrid are a very solid team because they haven't changed much in their squad this season, unlike Barcelona. Even though Barcelona has brought in a lot of quality players, it doesn't mean that Barcelona can be better than Real Madrid because every new player who comes in needs more time to adapt.
but I think that with a lot of improvement in the Barcelona squad this season, the competition between the two teams is much better than last season.
Barcelona don't need to be good to beat Real Madrid, if you remember last season when Barcelona weren't at their best and even Xavi started to mix the team in the middle of the season. This means that Xavi did not build a team from scratch and only took advantage of the squad that existed at the time, but what happened Xavi could actually provide a good strategy for Barcelona to beat Real Madrid 4-0. So if it's just to beat Madrid I'm sure whatever squad Barcelona have at least they have a chance to win, but if it's to be LaLiga title winners then of course they need a better team and this season they've had it.
