This season is like a good competition in the Real Madrid squad by bringing in the best players from other clubs in the hope of winning the competition and winning La Liga (Spanish League). Real Madrid's current game all with the best performance can play in the match making the coach free to arrange the team formation.
Real Madrid, which is still behind Barcelona in terms of points, still has to work harder in the upcoming matches because Real Madrid should not feel satisfied and complacent with the players they currently have if they cannot surpass Barcelona, which is currently at the top of the La Liga standings. But I am also still sure that Real Madrid can definitely give better this season because in terms of time there is still a lot and Real Madrid certainly still has the opportunity to reach the top position in La Liga this season.
Everyone is still adjusting to the placement of Madrid strikers. Barcelona, on the other hand, are at their most stable, and even Hansi Flick has managed to reactivate Lewandoski ability as he gets older and finds his prime. Madrid and Barcelona La Liga rivalry is still very much in its infancy. There are still many matches to be played. Barcelona just need to ensure consistency, while Madrid should focus on finding their best form as soon as possible. The clock is ticking and the demands are getting heavier by the day for Ancelotti.
Of course, all teams are still adjusting to find their best performance, especially with the super tight schedule of all teams this season, the impact of the new Champions League format makes coaches have to rack their brains to rotate players to avoid injuries.
It is interesting to discuss Real Madrid and Barcelona, both teams have two different matches before they face each other at Camp Nou in the El Clasico match. Real Madrid will face Celta Vigo and Dortmund while Barcelona will face Sevilla and Bayern Munich.
Although it is still too early to discuss the competition between these two teams, I think the El Clasico match will determine their journey until the end of the season. Barcelona under Flick's guidance is getting better, especially since Lewa has started to find his performance again. Meanwhile, Real Madrid has not found its best performance, this can be seen in the last few matches, their game is not completely solid, plus Carvajal's injury will greatly affect Real Madrid's back line. So I think Ancelotti's task this season is not easy to defend the title, especially since Flick seems to be very focused on La Liga rather than the Champions League.
