It is starting to become clear what was predicted: that the only two contenders to win the league will be Madrid and Barcelona. A priori Barcelona have an easy game today against Alavés, and even if it is away from home they should have no problems. Only a draw would keep them ahead of Madrid, but in any case, as more matchdays go by I think the difference between these two teams and the rest will be more pronounced.
I am sure and not pessimistic either in this season, that this year will be Barcelona's year in the domestic league because of their individual and consistent consistency in several matches, although I have not seen Barcelona meet a strong La Liga team to convince myself for the title this season, although talking about the title is still too far away but it can be a reference that they will really have an extraordinary season this season.
It is too early to put high hopes on Barcelona because the season is only 9 weeks old. It is very difficult to predict what will happen in the future, it all depends on the performance and condition of the team. Injury problems are the most feared, when key players enter the treatment room, the stability of the team will be slightly disturbed. Barcelona will play an important match at Alaves' headquarters, Hansi Flick must be more careful in this game because Alaves has never lost in the last 7 home games, including 3 games this season. If Barcelona wants to stay at the top of the standings, there is one key, they must play consistently with an attacking pattern as they have done in previous matches.
Barcelona are already 1-0 up through Lewandowski goal in the 7th minute, hopefully they can take home three points at Alaves' headquarters.
