Real Madrid did the best they could do in the last transfer window even though their may not have been the club that spent the highest money in signing new players but then also the club did not let go too much of their players since they had already invested a lot of money on those players in the previous season and this has reflected in the result Real Madrid recorded in the last two seasons.

I don't believe Madrid did all they could in the transfer window. They have a lot of loopholes in their squad. Let's not get carried away by the early victories. They need wingers, they need a striker.
Madrid has scored 6 goals this season, 4 have been by Bellingham who is a midfielder. As much as that is good news for Bellingham, it should be worrying for Madrid. What are their attackers doing? Sooner or later Bellingham won't be able to score as much as he's scoring now, what would happen then?

I don't know how long the Vinicius injury is, but it better not be serious because Madrid will be in serious trouble if he's out for a long time.

Drama 7 goals is really interesting to watch Cheesy
I enjoyed this match because it was one of the most watchable matches of the week.
Barcelona still have problems in their defence especially when they get counter-attacked as the players fail to get back but what I like is that their goal productivity is also back. After 2 weeks of poor finishing in this match they seemed to be back to the Barcelona that always scores a lot of goals but there are still some things that need to be fixed by Xavi.

The problem with Barcelona's defense is two things. One is Aruajo's injury and the second is a right back. If they had a right back, somebody like Cancelo, he would play the RB position while Kounde and Christensen okay the CB. Or Cancelo can play the LB when Balde is injured, Kounde plays the RB, and Eric and Christensen play the CB. Inigo Martinez is still out injured, they will need him back ASAP since Araujo is injured.

Lewandoski might be a problem for Barcelona if he doesn't pick up his form. He needs to start scoring the chances he gets. Barcelona creates a lot of chances and with an in-form clinical striker, Barcelona should have been at least 3 goals up before Villarreal got there first.
I guess they have to manage till January when Vito Roque arrives or Ferran Torres is going to step up
