I think Real Madrid has not proven that they are now better because we have not seen the consistency of neat performance and also a combination of their two mainstay mbappe and also Vinicius.
Instead I think Barcelona this season must be recognized by all its changes and Hansi Flick as their new coach is successful enough to make a much better change for the performance of the Barcelona team even though they often cannot maintain their performance consistency.
Overall Real Madrid and Barcelona have a fairly balanced strength this season so that it is possible to occur in fierce competition in the race for the title, and the KUA of the team also has the same problem that is not able to maintain consistency so because it makes all possibilities possible for Barcelona or Real Madrid.
Both teams have their own strengths and weaknesses this season. Barcelona has been extraordinary since the start of the season. Even if they remain consistent with their same performance as at the start of the season it will be difficult to stop Barcelona. But unfortunately Barcelona is not always at its best. And yes, Barcelona's main problem is just their consistency which is sometimes lost. And makes them sometimes lose points. So that initially Barcelona led the Laliga standings, now Barcelona can only be ranked third. Meanwhile, Real Madrid was unstable from the start, especially after several of their mainstay defenders suffered injuries. Real Madrid got worse at that time. But Ancelotti always knows how to improve a team that is in trouble. And in the end, Real Madrid started to improve over time and are now even at the top of the Laliga standings. But for now it is still difficult to say which is better, Barcelona or Real Madrid. But in El Classico the result is actually the answer. But because the season is not over yet, the final results of this season will be the definitive answer.
