Real have just lost 4-1 against Valencia.

Oh really ? I missed that game last night. But it really surprised me because 3 of Valencia's winning goal came from penalties and 1 own goal from Varane. I think Madrid was bad enough in that match because there were 4 time the referee gave a penalty to Valencia despite failing the first time and only 3 chances were successfully converted into goal. According to statistic, Valencia's game was more effective than Madrid and that led them to victory. Very nice.

I personally cannot remember that Real Madrid and Barcelona both started a season so dramatically.

If you look at what kind of capital there is in those teams on the field, you could already start a whole la league with it. And Sociedad at the top.

Nice team, plays nice. Would be nice if we get someone else like Barcelona or Real Madrid as champion. The loss from 4-1 was really unworthy.

Both Barcelona and Real Madrid are losing their glory day by day. Look at Real Madrid, I don't see any star player in their forward lineup except Benzema. But before that they had a lot of star players. On the other hand, Barcelona has released Rakitich, Vidal and Suarez. And Messi is now 33. He is not playing as well as before. Both teams are going through a very critical time. Hopefully Zidane and Koeman have different plans for their team. They are both very experienced. At the end of the season I only want to see Real Madrid and Barcelona fight for the title.

It's actually a mystery to me why Real let Ronaldo go to Juve.
Real with Ronaldo and Real without Ronaldo are 2 quite different teams.
It is obvious that Real cannot find the right replacement for him.
The main problem in Barcelona is not that Messi is an old player but their internal relations and chaos at the club.
Regardless of these problems, Real and Barcelona remain top candidates for the spanish title.

Real have just lost 4-1 against Valencia. What a bad performance, imo. But we can not expect anything else since he does not have many good players in his hand. Hope that the team will soon overcome this loss. Spirit is very important to Real at this moment

Zidane knows what to do in this circumstance. He has won many titles although he is quite young comparing to other football coach. You might have your point, sacrifice is necessary if he wants to achieve a title for this season

I hope that he can bring some new faces during the Winter transfering market. And he has to do something with Eden Hazard to. This guy has not performed well recently. I personally beliece that Eden can contribute more.

I didn't have time to watch the game, but I was damn surprised that Valencia scored 4 goals...What was happening, did Valencia played that good or Real was that terrible? This season I really think that Atletico Madrid has a solid chance to take the tile.

Valencia 4-1 Real Madrid
There's a saying that says If You live by the penalty, you shall die by the penalty

I saw the match and feel like watching the most strange match done by Real Madrid. How can valencia get 3 penalties in a single match? It is too much, or they are just too unlucky. I have watched various football matches, but never saw a team got 3 penalties in a single match. Well, Real Madrid got some penalties to win in the past, but have they got as Valencia did? Sure, it's never, at least as long as I saw Real Madrid matches.

In football, everything is possible and it seems you did not know or did forgot about Martin Palermo who missed 3 penalties in a single match for Arghentina in Copa America 1999. It is big joke and I admired Palermo so much that after the nightmare match he did accepted to shot many other penalties in rest of his career.

If Real Madrid stop playing basketball and remember this is football, they have a chance.

Look at that first penalty, clear handball. He blocks that cross with his open elbow: First penalty link

Third penalty position, Ramos what are you doing? Third penalty link

It was like a penalty practice for Soler, he also missed first one before that repeat as well. Anyway, that's a nice win for Valencia. You can't say they don't deserve this 3 points.

[proTECH77]

I can't wait to see my favorite club winning this Spanish league this season. Real Madrid is about to repeat the mistake they did last season that almost make them lose the match. I don't know why the coach always like to beach old player for new player for first half, when he know that  new player don't have more strength to play very well in first half than old player.
With this change the coach has done show Real Madrid will still win this match. 

[kassex]

Real Madrid has very few good players that will prevent the team from performing well in tournaments. Zidane will have to sacrifice the cup and the Champions League to perform well in LaLiga, otherwise Real Madrid will fail in all cups.

What can Zidane do when he has very few high-level players? Modric is already 35 years old and he cannot show a strong game every match. Kazemiro is the only defensive player in the center of the field. In attack Benzema, who needs to hit the goal 5 times to score a goal. Azar is either injured or gaining shape, but now he is generally ill. in bad shape. Karvarhal is injured. Zidane has one player for each position, and if one of them is injured or in bad shape then everything collapses. And new players should not be expected in winter. Real never buys players in winter. And now on there is no money to buy.

Valencia 4-1 Real Madrid
There's a saying that says If You live by the penalty, you shall die by the penalty so this outcome was not at all a shock. Madrid fans didn't expect but  It just happened that way everyday is not always a good day let's bounce back & work hard. Nevertheless Real Madrid is always ready to perform better.

It was really a bad day for Real Madrid. They didn't play upto their standards..I am sure they will bounce back again...

Every team has an off day, it’s nothing to worry about for fans of Los Blancos, they will definitely fight for the title. I think they will be La Liga champion this season.

[jaberwock]

We can't just suddenly start to blame players when they are playing bad and start to praise zidane when they play well. If they are doing something right they are doing it all together and when they lose they lose all together. I am not saying players are wrong or not saying zidane is wrong neither, players are the ones who go out there and play and zidane is the one who tells them how to play and the tactics, so I believe all 12 of them are equally wrong (plus bench that went in), we can't just put emphasis on one of them and not the other.

When they won champions league just few years ago, or when they won the league last year, these players weren't all "that" different, sure it is a bit different but not enough to say 4-1 loss is acceptable now, so it was a bad day and it was bad for all of them.

[kawetsriyanto]

If Real Madrid stop playing basketball and remember this is football,~

Damn! It's not Real Madrid, only Ramos who played a shitty basketball yesterday. Vázquez blocked the ball accidentally, sure no intention to do it. While Ramos, ah.. I've no words to explain it. How can a captain do a foolish defense like that? As a defender, he is good in scoring, but a red card collector plus bad track record in defense line. If I were Zidane, I may put him as a wing back, or central forward. 

[hahay]

This change exists because not always the strongest team will continue to be the strongest and the best every and every season, with this big win from Valencia this certainly makes the league more interesting. But something I think is more interesting is about Atl. Madrid, whoever is ranked 1st and 2nd but Atl. Madrid is still below him because I think if Real Madrid and Barcelona are not in 1st and 2nd place, at least it will belong to Atl. Madrid, lol. It's interesting to look forward to the end of the season.

I agree that Valencia's big win makes La Liga even more interesting, because this proves a strong team like Real Madrid is not always
the strongest every season. Regarding Atletico Madrid, it could be the best candidate to win the title this season if Barcelona and Real
Madrid are inconsistent. It seems that next there is another surprise in La Liga, very interesting this season, because La Liga is not
dominated by Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Real Madrid are not strong as they did in the past. Their squad is older and older and their key players went through their golden ages for a while. Real Madrid now is similar to last few seasons of AC Milan before a wave of their legendary players announced their retirement or left the club (Supper Pippo, Gattuso, Nesta, Pirlo, Seedorf, Ambrossini, etc.). Real Madrid can win one or two more trophies if they fight for such and get luck (from their sides, from their opponents) but they won't go too far with the old players.

Regarding Atletico Madrid, it could be the best candidate to win the title this season if Barcelona and Real
Madrid are inconsistent. It seems that next there is another surprise in La Liga, very interesting this season, because La Liga is not
dominated by Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Atletico Madrid have a bright future ahead. Young and talented squad are good things for their future. They will have bigger chances to build up strong squad if they can convince Simeone to stay with them.

[hd49728]

Atletico Madrid is playing really great. Many emerging and talented players have been added to their squads. I think at this time they need a skilled and experienced coach most. Then we will be able to see Atletico Madrid with Barcelona and Real Madrid in the title fight in the next few seasons.
Atletico Madrid have been playing very well in this this season. They have won 5 out of 7 matches. Although they have not yet faced any big team. Their next match is against Barcelona. I'm waiting to watching this match.

Atletico Madrid have a younger squad than Real Madrid or Barcelona. It is important but not the most important one that is the loyalty players in the club have for their coach (Simeone) and their tactics are remained the same after many seasons with a same coach.

They respect Simeone and play for him and the club. They are confident, loyal and their strength from young players together build up their strength and competitive ability in La Liga.

They have 2 two strikers who can bring fear to many defenders: Suarez and Costa.

[kassex]

Atletico Madrid has a correct policy of replacing old players without delaying them in the first squad. And the coach has been working in the team for a long time. in Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the situation is not very good right now. Therefore, Atletico Madrid has a high chance of winning the championship.

I think so. Atletico Madrid have a much better chance of winning the championship this year. Both Barcelona and Real Madrid have almost collapsed. There is no continuity of the performance of their players. The Barcelona team is now completely unstable. If Barcelona and Real Madrid don't change their playing strategy, I don't think they have any chance to be champions this time.

[RealMalatesta]

The way A.Madrid plays is just simple and so elegant, usually the best football comes out of tactics that do not make you scratch your head on how they did it, look at Germany for example and all of their teams including national team, they have never played a method that would be very complicated and complex, they play football the way it suppose to be and they try to perfect every single tiny detail to make it successful, that is how they got good.

A.Madrid is doing the same thing, the way they play is not really that complex at all but how they play it looks like it is art and they try to never make any mistakes, when you are a good team and you rarely play under 100% you end up winning almost all your games, that is how good teams become great teams and then champions.
