On the other hand, something of interest for Real Madrid fans:

Fede Valverde named LaLiga Santander Player of the Month for September

Quote

Fede Valverde has been voted the LaLiga Santander Player of the Month for September. The midfielder has started the campaign in scintillating form for Real Madrid, propelling Carlo Ancelotti's charges to produce an almost perfect start to the season.

The capital club have won all six of their LaLiga Santander 2022/23 matches and top the table, with Fede Valverde one of their standout performers, particularly in September.

Personally, I really liked Valverde's performance, he has had great interaction, very good goals and I think that is what makes him make the difference, he is a player who has grown a lot, well but playing alongside a great like Anyone Benzema raises his level and technique, and a club like Real Madrid makes you famous.

Hey mate, I'm happy with this great news because Valverde deserves award for his performance.
Federico Valverde so far is very different to last season. His stats are even better especially as he has contributed to 3 goals and 1 assist in Real Madrid's 6 match in Laliga. Last season he didn't score, he only made 1 assist in 31 Real Madrid match.

As a midfielder, Federico Valverde has stood out earlier this season and I think Ancelotti should give him more opportunities to prove his quality. Modric and Kross will eventually be sidelined because of their age, so Federico Valverde will be their successor in the next few seasons considering he is only 24 years old.

I totally agree with you, what happens is that at the moment Real Madrid is well above the level of all the teams that have participated in the most impressive tournaments, and it is as you say, Kros and Modric will leave Real Madrid at any moment Madrid because of his age, and also the great Benzema, so the one who remains there in the baton is Valverde, and watching him play is very good and he does things very well, he is also a striker who runs quite well, he reaches balls that sometimes are Impossible to reach, however Valverde has a very good technique to play, and the best thing is that it reminds me of old Ronaldo, number 9, who when he reached the area with a simple dribbling movement he scored a goal.

Likewise, today I will look at Barcelona's game against Inter. I know they have a lot of injured players, even though they have such a large squad, having so many injuries was the worst scenario that could happen to the Barcelona team at the moment when they had such important matches in the middle of the season. He lives the same in Real Madrid. Even though Real-Madrid is the favorite of the bookies, all kinds of results can come out of this match.

Now the worst case scenario is clearly happening in their match in the Champions League.
At the moment the game is almost over for them and they are still losing by 1-2 and this can obviously destroy their hopes of qualifying for the next stage because indeed to get points in the match against Bayern later is clearly difficult and they have to go back to the Europa League for the second time in two consecutive seasons.

Barcelona may lose against bayern. The only chance to get full points from plzen and i doubt if barcelona can win against bayern. We know that bayern is too strong for barcelona. This team has a bettern defend and attack compared with intermilan. Barcelona may face another problem again when it will be facing bayern even if it will be playing at home. A small chance for barcelona. It seems like so much money being used to buy new players gave bad result. Barcelone needs to win all of matches or it has no chance anymore. It seems like that lewandowski was over rated striker.

I also think the same, for me Barcelona will lose, I bet that Inter Milan would win, but the truth is that Barcelona is a team that has a lot of luck, and that luck has a name, Lewandowski, that is the luck of Barcelona, for me all the signings of Barcelona were "good" but really the one who really contributed with all the irons was Lewa, Xavi is a technical director who above all is a very good player in the time of Messi with Iniesta and all that combo, but they know that every team shines with a star, in your case the star is Lewa and the whole team will play to serve him, but on the other hand at Bayern they know him very well, they know how to mark him, even as disable it, that game will be very interesting.

Barcelona can't even win against intermilan even played in home. That proves that if real madrid was superious from so many aspects. It seems like that bookmakers were drunk. The bookmakers are not even watching the result from last match against intermilan. they need to be at least watch the result from any match. It's strange to put more on barcelona.

Bookies are supporting Real Madrid a little more than Barcelona. Nevertheless, they should not be underestimated because they failed to win against Inter or probably will fail to pick the second spot in their CL group or might even drop to EL.
They made much mistake, Inter defence was good while their wasn't. Dembele was the center of their focus while Lewandowski movement was relatively limited. A tactical change in their strategy might helped them to win in that match. I suppose they will take a look on what happened there and will improve it, so again, I believe that Real Madrid should start the game with the spirit that they are facing a furious team, not the one that failed against Inter.

Will Rudiger still play against Barcelona ?
He was injured badly against the Ukrainian side
I didn't watch bit saw the video how bad could it be

Well, all the teams know all this very well, what did Pep Guardiola say? that the UCL is very difficult because there is always Real Madrid, and I leave it to one of the most experienced and most respected technical directors in the world, so these things are what still make a team like Real Madrid Despite the fact that sometimes they play a little badly, they are unconditionally favorites, what has happened with Barcelona is that they have been very lucky and have a Lewa who can make them win at any time, because one of Inter's goals was almost because of the defenders, so that's something they can't move.

Well, one of the most well-known characters in world football revealed what Barcelona did:

Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher criticize 'crazy' Barcelona for making Inter Milan match 'EMOTIONAL, end to end and a cup tie too early'... as chaotic 3-3 draw leaves Spanish giants' Champions League hopes hanging by a thread

Quote

A Lewandowski header in stoppage time saved a point for the Xavi's side, but left Barcelona in a tough spot. If Milan beat hapless Viktoria Plzen in their next match, Barcelona will be sent down to the Europa League for the second season in a row.

Quote

Carragher agreed that the emotions ran too high, he added: 'I don't think it's about whether it was a knockout or a group stage. I think it's about actually... you need to calm everybody down.

'Busquets, Pique - two of the greatest players we've ever seen for Barcelona and of this generation - they need to settle everybody down they didn't need it to become an end to end game. What they needed to do for the next 10 or 15 minutes was not (try and) score, [it] was to make sure Inter Milan didn't score.
