Basically, La Liga is only about Real Madrid and Barcelona, because only those two teams are consistently at the top of the La Liga standings every season. But for this season, I personally will admit that Barcelona is in a very good situation and condition, so if Barcelona can stay at the top of the La Liga standings at least until the middle of the season, then maybe it can be ascertained that Barcelona will get the La Liga trophy this season. I personally do not feel that this assessment is excessive because in fact, so far Barcelona under Hansi Flick clearly has very good quality because they have succeeded in increasing the potential of each of their players as well.

Thus, I personally am very confident that Barcelona will get the trophy this season even though, before the league started and Mbappe joined Real Madrid, at that time I was very sure that Real Madrid would be very strong this season. But in reality, it is very far from what was previously imagined, because so far Real Madrid still needs a greater effort to get good results with the star players they have.

Real Madrid's situation has indeed looked worrying in recent weeks. apart from a star-studded squad, with an extraordinary squad and very experienced team that is not delivering on the field. The forward line appears blunt, as though it has been stripped of all its sharpness and verve to outplay the opponent's defense. Similarly, the midfield area where creativity normally flows into the attack seems uninspired and ill-equipped to create well-established chances. Real Madrid also has a very fragile defense. It is easy for opponents to press upon them, and very often they find themselves without a solution when under attack. This may make Real Madrid look inconsistent, and Barcelona appears ready to take advantage of this condition, to seize, La Liga dominance this season. If Real Madrid does not make immediate changes to achieve much closer competition, then it will be hard for them to sustain the position at the top of the standings.
