Barca is still unbeaten but Mallorca was a game they should've won. They fell back two times and it was harder to score against a defensive Mallorca. They should hold these type of uncalculated point losses to minimum. Real also has bad games but they still won. It's important to win even when you play worse than opponent. Real's only loss was against Atletico which is acceptable.
Team of the first 7 weeks is Girona. It'll be an interesting match between them and Real Madrid this weekend. We'll see if it's by luck or if they are really good and deserve the first place. One thing for sure is at least one of them lose points.
Girona, the surprise and flash team of the season, go into week eight as leaders. Michel's team are unbeaten and won again at Villarreal after falling behind earlier in the week. They have made some very good additions to last season's good squad. For Real Madrid, Vinicius Junior could return to the starting eleven this time but i don't expect Alaba to play and Rüdiger is available but not fully fit. Real struggled in the Atletico Madrid derby, especially in defending air balls. Girona can take advantage of this with Dovbyk. I think Girona will score but Real Madrid can pull rabbits out of the hat in these games with their big team reflexes. I think the game will start with a fast start and there could be goals against each other.
Girona is a very surprising team at the beginning of the season and I also did not think that so far they played quite neatly from match to match, indeed Real Madrid lost in the match against Atletico and yes we know these two teams are rivals to each other in the city of Madrid. Yes maybe if you see from the position mentioned about Real Madrid's weaknesses in playing the top ball, can still be tried by Girona to defeat him, but we know Real Madrid with talent they have, their lower ball games are very neat and they have a sprint drible In midfielders and their wings are pretty good, for this match I personally predict the victory for Real Madrid, and the first defeat for Girona this week.
It would be very surprising if Girona could beat Real Madrid in this match, and yes they might have become a strong team.
