Sri Lanka won today's match against England and won the third Test match. Although the England team won the series but Sri Lanka team performed well in the last match due to which they won and the series result is 2/1. But Sri Lanka batsman Pathum Nissanka has to be commended in today's match as he has given an amazing batting performance and led the team to win and remain unbeaten. England's win by 8 wickets today was really interesting, if they could have performed like this from the start of the series it would have been good for Sri Lanka.
We couldn't imagine that Sri Lanka would win the final Test match, everyone assumed that Sri Lanka would be whitewashed by the way Sri Lanka had been beaten by England in the previous two matches. But by beating England by eight wickets in the third Test match, Sri Lanka showed that they have not forgotten to play Tests but the defeat of the past two matches is mainly attributed to the failure of their players. But in the last match, Sri Lanka's batting and bowling both had a great balance, that's why Sri Lanka managed to win the third match. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2024%2F09%2F09%2FBPJEq.jpeg&t=665&c=o5ggQ-Qdb0Tlsw) Man of the match Nissanka's amazing batting skill seal consolation win against England in third Test you know, this is Sri Lankan's first Test win in England in more than a decade, Sri Lanka actually made a very good comeback in this match. There is an unwritten rule in test cricket. that is you have to get your opponent all out cheaply once ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) . And Sri Lanka was able to do that in this test match. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) It was also a very bad collapse from The Poms as well. In both the second inning, The Poms were basically unable to do anything. And Sri Lanka also played really well in their second inning. It was Nissanka who able to score an unbelievable century. He countered the English attack from every corner and his unbeaten 127 basically carried Sri Lanka to the wind almost by himself. Good match for Sri Lanka but in the end, we have to congratulate The Poms for winning the series.

I often see how some very rich people like Elon who some time ago visited my country to promote his company and his starlink project attended meetings wearing only t-shirts and it can actually be a slap for those who are too imposing just because of the exposure and branding that he really wants to highlight.
It's too dusty for those guys like Elon to wear fancy clothes or dress to kill. They've got too many activities to handle in one day, to bother about what to put on, what matters to them is their presence. But do not be surprised to see one expensive item on them, most likely their wrist watch or shoes. It would be naive to look at appearances and assume that Elon is a wealthy man who lives a simple life. First: dressing too formally when meeting customers will sometimes create a clear gap between rich and poor, and make cooperation not go smoothly. Second: He intentionally dresses simply because he wants to create a friendly, intimate atmosphere so that everything goes well. Meanwhile, others dressed elegantly and luxuriously because they wanted to give the world's richest billionaire the utmost respect. @Raflesia, I remember Tim Cook once visited my country, he dressed casually and experienced our cheap street food. But did you know that he stayed overnight at the only 6-star hotel in my country that costs up to $80k/day ? LOL .

Would you borrow, diversify or sell some assets inorder to buy Bitcoin dip, because of future profitable prospects?
Is buying Bitcoin dip worth the risk for you as a Bitcoin investor or trader ?
Have you ever thought about a situation where you borrow money and invest but then the price of bitcoin continues to drop? Then maybe you will repeat it again but things are not lucky and get worse, what will you do? What is your solution when the price of bitcoin keeps falling after you have borrowed money to invest in it? If you don't have a solution for that situation, I advise you not to borrow money to invest just because you see the price of bitcoin is going down. Investing in bitcoin is not as safe as many people think, don't look at its past and assume that it will always maintain such growth performance in the future. There are no guarantees and anything can happen. So you should only invest within your means, don't be too greedy, sometimes the price to pay is very high.

I never thought that this entire bitcoin appearance of his was anything more than a thinly veiled ruse to try and garnish as many votes as possibly, as it was during the heart of his campaign run. I wrote off all talk of anything spoken as campaign lobbying and therefore not to be taken seriously. So, not really one who ever thought this a possibility to begin with, not right now anyhow.
Tell me, is there any politician in America who is a good person, keeps his promises and never lies for his political purposes? That's just the nature of politics and all politicians are liars. Likewise, Harris' campaign keeps making thousands of different promises, isn't their goal also to gather as many votes as possible? Besides, what guarantees that she will keep her promises after being elected? Those things are so normal and unsurprising because that is the nature of politics, so I call it their strategy. The election is not over yet and the future is unpredictable, don't be so quick to judge others, let time tell. The idea of a bitcoin strategic reserve sounds crazy and impractical but it reminds me of people who used to despise bitcoin in the past. Now they feel regret and shame because their foolish judgment caused them to miss a golden opportunity.

No one feels comfortable spending a lot of money on transactions, especially small transactions, but we need to know that it is the price we need to pay. If we want bitcoin to maintain its decentralized nature and protect our privacy, paying higher fees is acceptable. Like any other service or product, if we want better quality, we need to pay a little more than others.
Nothing is absolutely perfect: if we want privacy, want to ensure safety, we need to accept high fees + slows and vice versa. Bitcoin offers privacy and security but sometimes comes with drawbacks like high transaction fees and congestion. Meanwhile, altcoins will have cheaper fees, faster speed but the network can be attacked at any time, our privacy is gone. The choice is up to each person.

IMO, in terms of play, Manchester City is almost always consistent when playing in the UCL. If we flashback to the quarter-finals when these two teams met last season, in the two meetings Man City always dominated and controlled the course of the match. Unfortunately, at that time City had to be eliminated. This season City is still a strong team, they are one of the potential challengers in this competition to win the championship trophy. Same as Real Madrid, which has a very competitive team. It's just that Don Carlo did not strengthen the depth of his defenders. Personally, their defense can have an impact when meeting a strong opponent. So is Real Madrid's midfielder, although in terms of players they are great midfielders. However, without Kroos for now it has quite an impact even though Madrid will be able to condition him. If I have to try to speculate based on personal assumptions, especially if these two teams are brought together again, whether it's in a crucial round phase. For now, I still say that Man City will be more dominant and control the course of the match when they meet Madrid. However, no matter which team wins, it is worth watching because it will definitely be exciting. By the way, the competition hasn't even started yet and let's wait and see. I agree - Manchester City is a really exciting team and they can control matches like no other. Real Madrid does not look good on paper right now, but they do turn into beasts every time they play in the UEFA Champions League , and that is something you can always bet on. But the way Pep has developed the Manchester City team is insane, the team has every quality you can possibly look for. I think Pep's time at Manchester City is nearing an end, which leads to the fact that he might try to give this season a story like "one last time" - where he goes for all the glory, like a last ride. We might see on the knockout stages of the UCL, where we see City facing Real Madrid once again, and this calls for a great show every single time. Pep's tactical masterclass against Carlo's insane magic of using individual brilliance and short moments of magic just does wonders to the game.

Before the start of the three-match T20 series between Australia vs Scotland, I had already said that Scotland had nothing to gain in this series as Australia would win each match by a big margin. In the first match we saw Australia create history against Scotland and they managed to score 150 plus runs in just nine overs. As far as I know, this has never happened before in international cricket. It was the first match and Australia won the following matches in the same manner. In the third and final T20 match we saw Scotland set a target of 149 runs for Australia and Australia reached that target in just 16 overs. Although Scotland did not have any significant achievements in this series, it is a matter of happiness for them that they managed to play three matches against Australia.
![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2024%2F09%2F08%2FBCY8H.png&t=665&c=zffjebLTjdUZig) these are what Skipper Mitch Marsh said to BBC, they were very much determined to whitewash the series and they have done that. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I don’t understand what you mean when you say that Scotland is going to be disappointed to see the performance that they have put on. Because it was Scotland against Australia. And Australia is probably the most decorated team in cricket history ever. They have been able to win the World Cup in cricket more than any other teams. Maybe there is a debate between India and Australia right now about who is better. but we cannot expect Scotland, to actually beat Australia. and I am not even surprised that all of the three matches that they have played against Australia were one-sided. Because it was supposed to be like that. Australia is a better team and the performance reflected that. All I can say is that this is a good experience for Scotland because if they are not going to play against big teams, they are not going to gain good experience and improve quickly.

Okay, I thought Sri Lanka is done for, but they just got settled Jamie Smith and now England being 140-8, with lead of only 202 runs shows glimmer of hope for SL to avoid whitewash.
![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2024%2F09%2F08%2FBCsWC.jpeg&t=665&c=LAoKbyB6jJeuoA) Source: Circle of CricketIt seems like Sri Lanka have actually made a pretty good comeback right now England is all out in the second inning for only 156. Only Jamie Smith was able to play a decent knock of 67. Nobody else actually did anything to talk about. Now Sri Lanka has a target of 218 in front of them. We also have to remember that the third day has not even ended. So Sri Lanka will have a lot of time to chase the target that they have right now. By the way, it is not going to affect who will win the series. England has already been able to win the series. It is just a chance for Sri Lanka to salvage something from this series. And I hope they will be able to do that.

I am sure that the casino has a huge advantage over trading, because in the casino you can have fun, and trading is just analyzing the chart, which brings absolutely no fun. You just need to sit and look out for analysis patterns, as well as resistance and support levels. If you don’t guess correctly with the coin, then the money will simply disappear, but the difference is that in gambling it’s even fun to lose.
Excuse me, but I completely disagree with you. What does it mean to have fun losing? How can the activity of playing the most important resource in any person’s life be “fun”? I believe that if someone loses money, and it doesn’t matter - gambling or trading - then it’s bad. It's always bad. But in general, I choose trading, because there the chances of getting money are much higher than in gambling. Any token, even if it has fallen in price, can rise. But in a casino, losing money is the end. I am also behind you , who disagree with this opinion, where this is the first time I have seen someone happy to lose, maybe you are too rich so you don't really think about losing when gambling, gambling is for fun but not for throwing away money, I would rather trade than gamble Even if we spend on our daily needs, we still don't feel happy seeing our money getting less and less, let alone losing money on gambling makes us happy. Some people may gamble for entertainment, to find moments of relaxation after stressful working hours, but we can become more stressed if we lose when gambling. Even rich people will feel worse if they lose because no one wants to lose and lose money, that's the truth. Yes, this is not only the first time I have seen someone feel happy when losing and also the first time I have seen someone enjoy gambling more than trading, especially for crypto investors like us. Most people know the harmful effects of gambling and only play with a certain amount of money and try to avoid addiction. Meanwhile, trading is considered as a way to make money although making money from it is not easy.

I don't doubt what you just said but your conclusion in this issue is based on your location. In the US it is estimated that about 80% of the people there know about cryptocurrency. While about 40% own it. But in Africa, you won't get the same result because crypto awareness and adoption is low. US StatisticsSince conducting our first study in 2021, crypto awareness and ownership have continued to grow. Fewer than half of respondents were aware of cryptocurrency in 2021. But today, more than 80 percent said they were familiar with the financial technology.
Meanwhile, the rate of crypto ownership in the U.S. grew by 10 percentage points in 2023. Adoption is up from 30 percent a year ago to 40 percent today. As a gauge for how many Americans own crypto today, our estimates suggest as many as 93 million people may hold one or more cryptocurrencies.
https://www.security.org/digital-security/cryptocurrency-annual-consumer-report/Morocco Statisticse=2147483647&v=beta&t=ybC7Gg2ZUmY68PVp1GW3ouFOFzJY86qC_URWOKZTGKE[/img] In Morroco just 1.92% of the population owns cryptocurrency. It can be assumed that crypto awareness is also low. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/tracing-cryptocurrency-adoption-regulation-innovation-africa-n29lf 40% is a huge number , I don't think it's that big even for a country like the United States . According to another result that I found and this is a FED survey, they show that only 18 million US citizens own cryptocurrency by 2023 . That means less than 10% of the US population invests and owns cryptocurrencies and I don't think that number will increase rapidly by 2024. Obviously, we do not have exact figures on the proportion of the population participating in this market . It is difficult to know the exact percentage of people investing in bitcoin in each country because as we all know, investing in bitcoin can be done anonymously and without declaration . Instead , I think we should rely on other factors to know about bitcoin's popularity like market capitalization . In my opinion, bitcoin's market cap of just over $1 trillion is too small, which means we are still very early and there is still room for growth in the future. https://cointelegraph.com/news/american-adult-crypto-use-dropped-2023-fed-survey

Both is important but to if I will select very correctly I wouldn't mind to choose holding, in holding you don't have to be afraid of the risk of losing your coin or tokens. The only thing there is for to target your investment period and work towards it like to be patient while bitcoin price keep soaring, but since you made mention of trading well, you can try it out to see how it works but I must tell you the truth you need to study hard to understand how the trading works and to keep you earning. The important thing is that you can't just begin to make money from trading if you don't fully understand how the system works currently and it's something you have to study a day or weeks before jumping into trading, let say it would take years or as long as can comfortably trade and make profits from it without incurring much lost.
That depends on the token or coin you are holding. Some tokens are best to hold short term and then sell-off once it is increasing in the market. The dilemma usually is - can the project survive? Or is it only for the sake of the devs' pockets? Because if it is the latter, we all know that you will be screwed if you sell your coins late. As we can see, very few can survive as most of them have no real use case in the market. They are just driven by hype for the devs to gain profits. Afterwards, they will slow down up until they will totally abandon the project. If it comes to holding, especially long term holding then I think bitcoin should be the only option or we can have some ETH which is not too bad. The rest of the market should stay away, especially with new projects that just launched this year or have not experienced a bear cycle before. While holding is considered safer, its downside is that it cannot generate passive income like trading or staking. Maybe for this reason I don't see OP mentioning holding, he is only interested in trading and staking. He is looking for passive income, short term profits rather than long term investment intentions. But is it really that easy? @OP, making profit in this market is never easy, especially when it comes to short term profit or passive income. This is not as easy as you think.

Even though bitcoin manipulation is a bit harder than altcoins, but I think whales still prefer to manipulate bitcoin over any altcoin because bitcoin has better liquidity and manipulation is harder to detect. Not to mention, the entire crypto market is still moving with bitcoin, so whales just need to find a way to manipulate bitcoin to be able to manipulate the entire crypto market. Everyone says bitcoin is hard to manipulate but I think the opposite. Whales and market makers take advantage of bitcoin's high volatility, and they don't even have to put much effort into manipulating it. Sometimes it just takes spreading rumors or positive news like the US government moving most of the bitcoins, Mt.gox selling bitcoins or someone secretly buying bitcoins in large amounts...Just news like that can change things very quickly because they know that the market is very sensitive to news. Cryptocurrency is a very small market with little regulation, so manipulation occurs more frequently than in other financial markets. But many people still stubbornly believe that bitcoin cannot be manipulated because it is decentralized ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) .

Can you explain further why the world can become peaceful just by adopting and using bitcoin?
After much hype about bitcoin, such as how it can alleviate poverty, reduce unemployment, or save a collapsing country's economy...now there is a theory that bitcoin will bring world peace. LOL.
Bitcoin is not God or a panacea for our world and just by adopting it we will solve all the problems in the world. We should stop being delusional and stop unnecessary hype about bitcoin.
As long as human greed exists, war will never disappear. Wars between nations, wars between religions...all are the result of human greed and in this case politicians.
I agree with you. Conflict is never going to completely disappear from the face of earth as long as we continue to be a greedy and stubborn species when comes to ideology and money, though his explanation on why using Bitcoin instead of the USD could bring more peace to this world has some explanation, if you see the United States as the country which is always involved with most of the international conflicts. If people stop using the United States Dollar and instead adopt Bitcoin massively, the dollar will obviously start to lose value compared to other FIAT currencies, leading to the USA not being able to further fund their military programs and budget. That imagination exercise only works if one is convinced the USA is the root of most conflicts on the planet. The status of the Dollar as a reserve currency on the planet is what has pretty much allowed the country to raise funds for whatever they want or needed it. Imagine what would happen to the value of USA bonds/USA debt if suddenly people was not interested in lending money to the Federal Government and stacked Satoshis instead: no funding and a trillion dollar debt to pay. I understand what he said and I also agree that most of the conflicts in the world today have the direct or indirect participation of the US . They have become rich from arms trade since World War II and are the world's leading arms exporter so it is no surprise that they are the cause of most wars. But even if the US falls and another country takes its place , there is no guarantee that they will be better than the US because the greedy nature has not completely disappeared. Bitcoin is just a currency and that means it cannot eliminate greed or even promote human greed . So even if we use Bitcoin instead of USD or any currency , it still cannot bring peace to the world . Honestly , I believe that war between nations, between religions, between people will never disappear, unless our earth is destroyed.

I dont compare La Liga to UCL competition when it comes to Real Madrid. They are one team I can vouch for, and you can't see them perform badly when they are playing in the UCL. Sometimes they can be wavering in La Liga but these players are experienced in the Champions League with so much belief that they can win. Let's see how it goes it will take a little time for the team and everyone to create a bond with each other based on the recent adjustment. However, their squad is still the best currently in football. Hopefully, they will win the La Liga and Champions League again. I strongly believed in them and I have placed a bet on them as my favorite team to win the both competition.
Statistics say that Real Madrid is the best club in its consistency in the Champions League and also in La Liga, it can be seen from the number of times they can win the Champions League title and their consistent performance in La Liga. So with that I say that they are indeed the best club in the domestic league and in European competitions. This season they are also the favorites to win the Champions League again although that does not fully guarantee that they can do it again, because the competition in the Champions League is very tight. Moreover, they have not yet found their best game in La Liga, it's just that the Champions League has not started yet, therefore they still have enough time to fix it. Too early to decide that Real Madrid will be the winners of the Champions League, but statistics speak for the point made, and I get why so many people would like to already declare this. Real Madrid has been unreal in the past few seasons in the most prestigious European tournament, and they can back all their supporters with mind-boggling performances. They also strengthened their squad, and don't really have massive lackings either. They just need a bit more fine-tuning, which can sort them out just right. Their start to the season was a bit slow, we've seen how the chemistry between the attackers are not sorted perfectly, they are struggling to link up, which can happen between star players. Now comes the harder part of the season when UCL starts, because this year it's a bit different, there are more games, and it's harder to cope up with all the league matches also going on at the same time. Real Madrid is different breed in UCL tho, so it should be fun.

. Those physical assets (Real estate, precious metals, oil etc) you just mentioned comes natural and can be regenerated by nature yes owners can use them for different purposes like he stated but then likewise Bitcoin, it's not physical but can be used and is currently used for carrying out transactions and unlike other assets what gives Bitcoin it's value it's the Volatility, so he should stop trying to give people the impression that it's not an asset Bitcoin is a digital asset.
When Bitcoin was created was it given the definition of an assets that you are calling it an asset. Bitcoin was created to be used in transactions that will be anonymous and the government and others can not track us to the transaction we are making because the governments were trying to control everything so they have control over everyone. Bitcoin is more of a currency and should not be limited to being called an asset. Other cryptocurrency can be created to be used as assets because they do not have any currency value but being bought just to hold for appreciation. Bitcoin is not being bought just to hold but people are buying it to use for international transactions because it is fast and convenience to use. Bitcoin is also being used as an assets by some individual but it is more to be used as a currency. Currency is also a type of asset, anything that has value and can be converted into money can be called an asset, including bitcoin and altcoins . But bitcoin is a superior asset because it has more use cases than other assets, and depending on each person's purpose of use , bitcoin will have different use cases . But I disagree with you when you say that people use bitcoin more as a currency than an investment . I want to ask you , do you use bitcoin as currency and how many bills have you paid with bitcoin ? How many countries accept bitcoin as currency and how many stores use bitcoin as a payment method ? In my real world experience, most people only use bitcoin as an investment rather than using it for other use cases .

The easiest way to stop most wars is to stop using the USD as the World Reserve Currency. Adopt a Bitcoin Standard & I’m quite sure we will be a lot closer to World Peace. The Petro-dollar is behind a lot of conflict in the world, either directly or indirectly.
Can you explain further why the world can become peaceful just by adopting and using bitcoin? After much hype about bitcoin, such as how it can alleviate poverty, reduce unemployment, or save a collapsing country's economy...now there is a theory that bitcoin will bring world peace. LOL. Bitcoin is not God or a panacea for our world and just by adopting it we will solve all the problems in the world. We should stop being delusional and stop unnecessary hype about bitcoin. As long as human greed exists, war will never disappear. Wars between nations, wars between religions...all are the result of human greed and in this case politicians.

There are levels of richness. A person that has a million dollar worth of assets is considered rich but some other guy with $10 million is 10 times richer than him and can afford to have many more luxury items than him. Then there are other people that have $100 million in their accounts.
Long story short, a rich person wants only one thing: to get even richer.
The mission only ends when he becomes as rich as Warren Buffett or Elon Musk.
The mission doesn't even end after that because do you see any of them stopping and enjoying life? No, they still continue doing what they do and I don't really understand what's the point of not having fun when you have all the money. I think that rich people develop money addiction and it becomes a mental illness because when you have so much money that you can't even spent and still don't have fun, that's not normal. Who is not addicted to money? Are we and the poor addicted to money? I bet everyone is addicted to money, not just the richest billionaires in the world. Honestly, none of us are rich, none of us have ever experienced the life of rich people so we cannot know what they think and what they want. But if I were to speculate, I think the ambition of the rich does not stop at making a lot of money or becoming rich to enjoy life. Like Gate, he was once the richest man and with his wealth, he could live a life without worries. Or like Elon or Trump, they are billionaires and have everything that others dream of. But it seems they're not stopping there, Gates is spending money on research and charity, while Elon and Trump are looking to get involved in politics... all showing that they have bigger ambitions beyond money. I can't put it into words but as many people say, billionaires have more eccentric ambitions than ordinary people like us who are just after money.

When someone is just starting to trade, it is very important for them to be able to have a mentor who supervises them in trading because with a mentor of course they will be able to provide direction when a beginner makes a mistake in trading because without anyone supervising them when trading, of course they are likely to make the wrong decision in the trade they make. When someone trades just by following the trend and they do not have good knowledge about trading, it will be very risky for them and they can easily lose their money on that trade. If you think a mentor does not teach you the right way to trade, then it would be better for you to find another mentor to be able to teach you about the right way to trade so that you do not make mistakes when trading. But is it easy to find a mentor or teacher in the trading? Where can we hire them or find a good trader to guide us? This sounds appealing because anyone starting out can achieve better results with a teacher or mentor to guide them. But the problem is where can we find truly dedicated people who are willing to help us in this scam-filled market? I believe everyone wants a guide when they are starting out but finding help is not as easy as we think and that is why most people learn everything on their own. Not to mention, we all know trading is not easy and there are not many experts or many people who can make profit, do we trust them even if they want to guide us? Or will we doubt?

You should stop repeating this nonsense because the price of bitcoin has increased millions of times since 2009 until now, not just during Biden's term.
I'll stop correcting the record when people stop lying about Biden's supposed ill-effects on Bitcoin. But having a pro-crypto president will push things faster and stronger, and that's why people support the pro-crypto candidate instead of voting for the anti-crypto one.
Both candidates are pro-crypto. Bitcoin went up $800 billion under president Biden. No one denies that bitcoin has grown under Biden but you need to understand that bitcoin growth is cyclical. Similar to what is going to happen, if history repeats itself, whoever becomes president, bitcoin will continue to grow. But the problem is that during his time in office, Biden has repeatedly made proposals that are unfavorable to cryptocurrencies as well as appointing Gary as SEC chairman. I don't need to explain much, you can see how much the whole crypto community hates Gary and he is representing Biden against the crypto industry. Currently, only Trump has publicly stated his support for cryptocurrencies, Harris has not made any similar statements. Just because she accepts crypto donations through PAC doesn't mean she's pro-crypto. Economically, I think everyone knows who is better. It's just that you are stubborn and refuse to accept the truth, so even if I give you more evidence, you will still deny it.

The only way Barcelona can win the league title this season is when they play against Real Madrid in El Clasico and defeat Real Madrid, We should remember last season when Barcelona was at the top of the league table and after the El Clasico Real Madrid took the lead in the table, Real Madrid started playing last season with ending matches draw but after they play against Barcelona they win the match and top the league, Barcelona winning 7-0 is not something that will make us think that they can win the league title this season, Real Madrid never lose any match they play and I can't judge them or predict who is going to win the league.
We can't and should not speak so confidently about who is going to win the La Liga right after like 3-4 game weeks, hell, even 7-8 game weeks. That's more than stupid. I say that because early season games can be more deceiving than it seems because they cannot be the benchmark for how the season goes. Just because Barca won 7-0 in a game does not mean people can back them to be La Liga winners already, but also just because Madrid has a great squad which is certainly underperforming will be the main threat to Barca, or they are the only "good team" in La Liga. We have to credit the likes of ATM, Bilbao, and so many other good clubs. Saying that winning the El Clasico is the only way to win La Liga is a wrong thing to do because at the end of the day, those are just two games out of so many. Yes, they can play a major role, but those are not the only games to win. To win a league, teams need to stay really consistent and needs to go through tough hurdles. Bigger teams also play in Europe, so things are really difficult for them to stay consistent throughout the season. We all know that Barcelona players are very talented and they can play against Real Madrid but defeating Real Madrid is not going to be easy for them, Real Madrid players are very strong and whenever Real Madrid plays against Barcelona, Barcelona players usually get injured, Even if Barcelona have Dani Olmo Real Madrid will still beat Barcelona because even when Dani Olmo is in Leipzig Real Madrid used to beat Leipzig so I don't think we should think that Barcelona can win the league.
How Barcelona started the season is really impressive, and what Hansi Flick is doing with such young players has to be credited highly, and if things go right, they might surprise everyone at the end of the season. On the other hand, Mbappe just got his scoring boots on, which can make all of Madrid go further and further from here onwards.
