Barcelona has always been able to demonstrate a very good style of play. They play calmly but quickly. Yamal and Lewandowski are a blend of talented young players and sharp senior players. They understand each other well. And that's true for all Barcelona players. Everyone understands each other, creating a good chemistry.

Hansi Flick came and turned Barcelona young players to star or super star players. It can be kind of coincidence when young players naturally grow up with time and seasons but I am impressed by how Hansi Flick turned Raphinha to a super star player in the last season and together many players in Barcelona are reminding us about their gold era with Xavi, Iniesta, Busquet, Messi, Suarez, Neymar, Villa and more players in past years.

Hansi Flick is behind all of this. Because after this coach arrived, we saw Barcelona become this good. Although, of course, Barcelona was already quite good before, but under Hansi Flick's coaching, everything has become even better. I love how Barcelona blends young players and senior players so well. They all mesh perfectly, making their game a joy to watch. And now Barcelona has returned to the top, which is one of the good things for this team at the start of the season.

He maximized performances of many players and he looked to succeed in finding good balance between attack and defense so that Barcelona are able to attack fantastically and simultaneously maintain good denfese in the last season. They of course need to improve their defense more in order to win big matches and big titles like Champions League. Sometimes in big and decisive matches, don't get a conceded goal is enough when your team already get an advantage for going next.

Actually Real Madrid was not that strong team since the starting of this season it has been one problem to the other and despite that they still manage to maintain their winnings both in the league and outside the league though I was actually expecting a lost from the any time soon but probably not at this time and definitely not from ATM and even if it does happen not with such margin but I was all wrong, never the less it's still a fresh season and I still very much believe Xabi Alonso is cooking, so even if Barcelona top the league now I still believe Real Madrid can still come back to the top.

It's very first months of Xabi Alonso in Real Madrid and he still needs to have more time for his management and tactical training for his players. So far in general, I think Xabi Alonso has done his management well in Madrid and 1 point difference with Barcelona is not too big. However, losing big in the Madrid derby is bad and he must improve his player mentality in big matches as in the last season, they lost in all direct matches with Barcelona, lost big.
