Joao Felix has got what he wanted by playing with Barcelona to win the La Liga trophy and coupled with a fairly large fee of course Joao Felix is now like a lucky player he can also have the advantage of increasing his popularity as a talented young player when managed to win the title this season.
Xavi has realized Joao Felix dream of wanting to join him but when he succeeds in becoming a great and competitive player for Barcelona maybe Atletico Madrid will also feel disappointed because they let him go to Barcelona.

Xavi and Barcelona fans hope that he can contribute as much and as well as possible for the team so that it is proportional to the amount of money he receives.

Joao Felix is a great attacking player with great skills that helps him drive past opposing defenders whenever he's with the ball and that's why I think he'll be a good signing for Barcelona this season.
Xavi Hernandez has shown he's a manager especially in man-management and I think his he'll help the Portuguese to have a good spell at the club this season. If effectively used, Felix attacking skills and pace will b serve as a big threat to any club that'll face Barcelona this season.

When talking about Joao Felix playing skills he is indeed a young striker with the capacity to play quite effectively in getting past the opponent's defense and when coupled with the training given by Xavi he can really be a threat to other teams when they play against Barcelona starting this season.
Even though in his first game with Barcelona he didn't give any goals or assists in the next matches I hope he can show his contribution and make Xavi and the fans proud of his presence in the Barcelona squad.

Things are going on well for Real Madrid. They are deprived of 3 important members like Courtois, Militao and Vinicius Junior. But this is still not an obstacle for them to maintain a winning streak. Bellingham is playing a huge role in this form of course. He is even the current leader in top scorers table. Grin

Madrid have found their replacements. Kepa for curtois, Rudiger for militao and joselu can still play to replace vini even though joselu was not as good as vini. In fact, madrid is also having bellingham at this moment to replace benzema.
It's not a problem for the club to lose those important players due to the injury. That's why madrid needs to learn from this case if the club must have also good backup once the main players were injured.

The reserve players are not all worse than the main players who are sent down in every match because some coaches use players who are good enough on the bench to be used when the team is in a lagging condition and these reserve players can perform optimally with stamina that is still really good conducive to launching attacks and catching up.
Real Madrid will never lose strength even if their mainstay players have left or are injured and that is true with players like Joselu or Bellingham and some of the players you have mentioned.

However I'm wondering how good they will deal with big opponents without these players. I mean especially the matches against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. They are going to take on Atletico Madrid very soon for example. The reason why I wonder this is that it wasn't really easy for them to defeat Getafe home.

I think that even if madrid was losing against the big club and it's not a problem. Despite facing tough competition from top clubs like Barcelona and Atletico, Madrid still has a chance to emerge victorious. The injuries of some players did not result in Madrid completely losing its power.
Madrid can also get draw against a strong opponent. Madrid just need to puts more attention to the barcelona.

It's still early in the 2023/24 season and even though Real Madrid lose matches and are behind on points due to absent players it doesn't mean Real Madrid can't compete well and Ancelotti definitely has a way to overcome the problem of having players absent from injury so that this season they could have a chance to win in La Liga.
