Real Madrid are getting their feet back after so many injuries woes and Kylian Mbappe finding it hard to settle down before but things are becoming much more better, Mbappe is really doing well now and their attack is not entirely dependent on Vinicius Junior to get a win.
While Barcelona has been trashing Real Madrid this season meeting which still do matter but the overall winner is still going to be the league winner and Real Madrid is leading that race, and might in the end become league Champions again this season while Barcelona might just have to fight for second place against Atletico Madrid. The stat of Xavi in comparison to the number of games with Hansi Flick was even better but we are going to wait for the season or next to fully judge.
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.
We all have assumptions related to these two teams, but in any case the factor of siding with the favorite team will always be involved. as the supporters of these two teams, will fully hope that their team can win the League title for the ongoing season. I actually agree with what you said, but it cannot be denied that Madrid is indeed starting to move towards its true performance. Mbappe is starting to play quite well, although we agree that the combination of Mbappe and Vini does not seem solid yet. well, this is the next job for Ancelotti, how he is able to combine these two sharp strikers to play solidly and much more dangerously. one more thing from my point of view, Ancelotti still has homework related to arranging his midfielders. when all the players in each line are ready, this team will be much more dangerous and sharp whatever team they oppose. talking about the Barcelona team squad, I am happy with the arrival of Hansi Flick who is handling this team. there seems to be a change in the game scheme and the effectiveness of Barcelona's matches as a whole, although some of them have to stumble and slip. but in the hands of Hansi Flick, Barcelona has new strength even though many of them are young players. even if Barcelona does not become champions this season, at least next season these young players are more ready to compete closely with their rivals Real Madrid. well, let's just see everything that is presented in this competition until the end of the season.
