[Kindness001]

There's a report this morning that Spanish and European champions Real Madrid are prepared to offer 21-year-old Spanish defender Raul Asencio a new contract at the club. Since some of the club's senior defenders picked up injury, Carlo Ancelotti have resorted to be using Asencio as Antonio Rudiger's partner in the heart of the club's defense which he's been able to deliver impressive performances. What do you think of this latest development at Santiago Bernabeu? Does Raul Asencio actually worth a new contract extension?

Wow!! This is going to be a great news to Madrid fans given the way asencio is playing when they need him most when their defenders are injured and has nobody he stood up for them and his partnership with rudiger is not bad. he is worth given another new contract surely

[G_Besar]

With such a narrow points gap, it's bound to create a healthy rivalry between the two. Madrid are also trying to get up and Barcelona are trying not to let their guard down in their current position. It could be that Madrid cannot catch Barcelona because the remaining 1 match is still uncertain 3 points. Hansi Flick lost Yamal which made his attack a little blunt. Therefore, if he returns to the main squad Barcelona can immediately appear stable.

Real Madrid's current attack is also not as sharp as before because Vinicius is still injured so Hansi Flick actually doesn't need to panic about this even though Real Madrid still has one more match than the number of matches that Barcelona has played. And this week's match can also be very crucial if one of them cannot win the match because both will be guests at their opponent's home so both will definitely try to win in order to maintain the position so that it does not change immediately this week.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, managed to comfortably defeat their rivals Getafe.Bellingham finished with 1 goal and 1 assist as Real Madrid won 2-0 on aggregate and fell 1 point behind Barcelona despite the lack of matches.Barcelona's long time loss of points has benefited them.

What do you think of this latest development at Santiago Bernabeu? Does Raul Asencio actually worth a new contract extension?

Because some of Real Madrid defensive players are got injury then Ancelotti has attempts to playing some of Real Madrid young player including Raul Asencio and if i am not mistaken he is from Real Madrid youth academy and he has just make his debut with Real Madrid last month and his debut was run well because Raul Asencio can create an assist at that time so after watching his performance i think Raul Asencio deserved to gets the contract but he have to realize that Real Madrid is the team with fully of star players so Raul Asencio have to hard struggling to earn trust from Ancelotti and to gets one place on Real Madrid starting lineup

[Jossque]

Athletic Bilbao were down in the first half but managed to win the match with Sancet's goals in the second half.Bilbao are doing well this season.We can already say that they will fight hard to stay in the top 4, but it won't be easy for them.
Sociedad, on the other hand, managed to defeat Betis 2-0 at home.Betis, despite being away, played better but were not very effective in front of goal.It was strange that Sociedad scored 2 goals despite having only one shot on target in the match.The first goal was Llorente's own goal and the second goal and the only shot on target in the match was Oyarzabal's penalty goal.

[GigaBit]

I can even say that Real Madrid will be the champion of La Liga again this season. Although they did not score many goals, Real Madrid is an efficient team. Barcelona played aggressively with 43 goals in La Liga but their performance was inconsistent. They lost to mediocre teams and that is different with Real Madrid. Even though they only won with a score of 1-0 or 2-0, a win is still a win. I think this is exactly what Ancelotti said. That Barcelona did win the El Classico but Real Madrid will win the trophy.

No one doubts Real Madrid is able to defend the League title this season, even though many of them are still injured. after all El Real is an elite and strong team in La Liga, they always have a chance to win match after match. but that doesn't mean they won't get obstacles and challenges in every match, especially since La Liga still has many matches. so too with Barcelona, ​​initially appearing quite well unfortunately in the last 3 matches they suffered without full points. as a result, Real Madrid is increasingly narrowing the gap in points. however we cannot be sure how these two teams will play match after match, there are many matches that these two teams will play, including to overtake each other and widen the gap in points at the top of the standings. what is clear for now Real Madrid is only 1 point behind Barcelona, ​​besides that Madrid still has 1 postponed match. which means, in the next few weeks the top of the La Liga standings can change with a thin difference in points. well, that's what makes La Liga even more interesting in its competition. Whether it is Barcelona or Real Madrid, they will try their best, including other teams such as Atletico Madrid who are also only separated by a small difference in points.

There are 3 teams that now have the potential to become the winner of La Liga this season, that is Real Madrid, Atletico, and of course Barcelona. The gap between the three is quite tight, so I think anything can still happen, after all, there is still a long way to go in La Liga. Barcelona may be in a bad phase now, but I don't think anyone will know what the future will be like because what happened to Barcelona might happen to Real and Atletico in the following days.

Atletico Madrid suddenly became a partner in the race for the top spot. They have played the same number of matches as Barcelona and have a 2-point difference between them. If Barcelona loses one more time, Atletico Madrid has the chance to overtake them. Barcelona could suddenly fall away from the top spot with a series of unsuccessful results. However, when they beat Real Madrid, everything was great.

Since the beginning of this season in La Liga, Barcelona has been able to maintain a big gap over their nearest rival Real Madrid by winning consecutively. Their performance was so good that it seemed like they were guaranteed to win every match. They were able to perform well against any team, but over time, that consistency has waned. When they are unable to win matches even against weaker teams, there will definitely be various negative comments about their performance.


Though Barcelona is still at the top of the La Liga points table, Real Madrid, who are in 2nd position, are not far behind. With only 1 point difference and Real having one more match left, if the team wins there, there will be a chance to take the top position at the moment. Since Barcelona will compete with Mallorca on the 4th DEC., if they win there, they will be ahead again, but if they lose, they have a chance of falling below Real. Both Barca and Real Madrid will try to play the next match with great importance. The truth is that Hansi Flick is also the most tense about the match.

What do you think of this latest development at Santiago Bernabeu? Does Raul Asencio actually worth a new contract extension?

It is not only about the problem that some of their players or defenders are injured, it is also about bringing some youth into the team as many of the defenders are quite old. There is Alaba, Rudiger, Carvajal, and some others and most of them are in their last few years of their careers on the highest level, but the next generation has to be ready to step up and fill the gaps or take on the competition with the established guys.

Whether he is worth an extension or not, I think Ancelotti is a good coach to judge that in the best interest of the club and player and he knows how to give younger players a fair chance to make it into the fist eleven players. But sitting on the bench at that age is not a shame either as long as you are there when you are needed and I think Asencio has done exactly that.

[Chilwell]

It is not a big deal for Real Madrid to lose El Classico, what is important is that they become champions at the end of the year. I am sure that many Real Madrid fans would prefer to become champions. Yes, they suffered a heavy defeat against Barcelona, ​​but there is a possibility that they can be the leader of the league right now. Barcelona is playing a very interesting game. There is no trace left of Barcelona, ​​which played magnificently at the beginning of the year. There is no explanation for their defeat to Las Palmas in their own field. They are probably trying not to become champions this year.

Yes it may not look like a big deal but six points is enough to deny them the trophy actually so you cannot undermine the winning of at least one of the el classico games, if Barcelona keeps winning and literally wins all of the el classico it's a plus for them and may like get them the advantage so Madrid actually does need that win even if it's one of the two wins.

I quite agree with you because El Classico is an important match to win, winning the two El Classico in a season open the chances for team to win the title because it's clearly six points different and can easily assess the trophy. In this situation the both teams are not consistent. I will say winning one of El Classico is a little bit fair than not winning any at all and Barcelona had won one, Real Madrid still have hope of winning too only if they can be able to come back to their best performance. Barcelona have disappointed me because their weakness is even ahead of Real Madrid, at the beginning Real Madrid was in declining form but they maintained themselves not to lose any match but rather draw is their option which was helpful for them, Barcelona had recorded three losses which this alone make it easier for real madrid to close the points gap.

[Smack That Ace]

It is normal that Madrid will dominate the match against a weak team like Getafe. Getafe is a team that is very close to the relegation zone. Even if we don't see this team in La Liga next season, it is not surprising. I was sure that Madrid will win their home match against Getafe.

Madrid has secured 3 points from this match. Real Madrid won 2-0 in today's match. This is definitely enough for Madrid. However, Madrid fans are not happy with Madrid's overall gameplay. Since it was Madrid's home match, and the opponent was also very weak, we expected a better performance from Madrid.

Mbappe managed to score a goal and Bellingham scored from the penalty spot. However, Madrid's players were able to create several easy chances to score. But Mbappe failed to score. Mbappe has not yet been able to adapt himself well to the Madrid squad.

Agreed. Even then the fans were not really happy by the performance of the Real Madrid I think in this match against Getafe they did just repeat their previous history. I am saying this, If we just saw the head to head match of Getafe vs Real Madrid then we will just found that in every match the Real Madrid team won by only two score or the one score I just saw one match on the club friendlies match on 2020 there Real Madrid score 6 goal against Getafe. So I think we shouldn't be much upset here.

Madrid needed 3 points. And Madrid managed to achieve it. By securing 3 points in this match, Real Madrid has been able to reduce the gap with Barcelona. It is not surprising to see Real Madrid at the top of the table in the next few weeks. Because Barcelona has failed to play well in recent matches.

After adding Mbappe to the squad, we thought that Madrid would become unstoppable this season. Madrid will be able to break any team's defense easily. However, we are not seeing that this season. The bonding of the players in the midfield with the forwards is weak. Therefore, Madrid's overall performance has also become irregular. At the same time, Madrid is not getting consistent good performance from two important players like Mbappe and Bellingham. Honestly, I miss Toni Kroos a lot in Madrid's squad this season. If Kroos had been with the Madrid squad, Madrid's midfield would undoubtedly have been more stable.

And this week's match can also be very crucial if one of them cannot win the match because both will be guests at their opponent's home so both will definitely try to win in order to maintain the position so that it does not change immediately this week.

They are both in a state of panic to me. Barcelona will be scared of not losing more matches in order to maintain the point difference between them now and Real Madrid will also be serious and be careful not to lose the outstanding matches in order to get above  Barcelona on the league standings. The season has really taken a new turn and event and if they cannot both be able to hold on to the pressure, we’ll soon see a very big difference between this two teams on the standings, which will affect one of them mentally if they’re not able to catch up. Next week match will be important for both of them as it’s significant to what their position on the league title will be by end of the week.

Since some of the club's senior defenders picked up injury, Carlo Ancelotti have resorted to be using Asencio as Antonio Rudiger's partner in the heart of the club's defense which he's been able to deliver impressive performances. What do you think of this latest development at Santiago Bernabeu? Does Raul Asencio actually worth a new contract extension?

He is worth the contract extension tenth fold, he has actually been in sublime form since his introduction to the side after Militao injury, I think he has settled in perfectly with Rudiger as his pattern. For me he is calm on the ball than most of the senior players, his strong both his duels on the ground and on the air, which will make him not to be over power by most center forwards. He also has the ability to put in those long balls to his attackers and we saw that with his assist to Bellingham on his debut, this and his composure adds him to been a great defender for the future for Madrid. For me he will definitely be a top defender in the future and should be kept for now

They are both in a state of panic to me. Barcelona will be scared of not losing more matches in order to maintain the point difference between them now and Real Madrid will also be serious and be careful not to lose the outstanding matches in order to get above  Barcelona on the league standings.

Seriously I just love the way the league title has taken a new direction, after the first el Classico win many were predicting an easy ride for Barcelona in this campaign, Barcelona themselves were carried away with the crisis at Real Madrid and also got distracted celebrating their rivals collapse, Ancelloti made bold claims that they will compete for every title they are participating in and also dropped a comment that the last time they lost four nil to Barcelona they managed to win the league and champions league, I think at this stage we can’t rule out that happening again

Yeah, Raul Asencio actually graduated from Real Madrid academy but haven't been getting playing times to prove himself but because of the injuries to the club's regular defenders, Carlo Ancelotti had to give him the opportunity to play. I also agree with you that he deserves a contract renewal but my concern for him is if he'll still getting playing times when Eder Militao and David Alaba returns to full fitness or if he'll be retired to bench again. I think he should consider these things before extending his contract.

[hahay]

Athletic Bilbao were down in the first half but managed to win the match with Sancet's goals in the second half.Bilbao are doing well this season.We can already say that they will fight hard to stay in the top 4, but it won't be easy for them.
-

With six unbeaten matches in La Liga, Bilbao managed to be in fourth position but the points owned by Bilbao are the same as Villarreal with 26 points. Thus, I think it is clear  that Bilbao's position is still very likely to continue  to rise and fall and they will still find it difficult to maintain their position in the top  four. But at least, Bilbao is a team that always has goodperformance and results every season,  that is also a great effort that they make. Thus, I also hope Bilbao can succeed in finishing in the top four, because  I think Bilbao deserves it.

A satisfying result, but it happened again if Madrid seemed to have magical powers when Getafe kick hit the crossbar twice and luckily the ball didn't go into the goal.
Actually a little disappointed to see Mbappe had a very good second chance but his shot missed and it should have been a very easy goal. It seems that Mbappe still needs a lot of time to make himself better. Luckily the penalty kick was given to Bellingham, or else it might have missed.
And the return of Rodrygo changed the performance for the better.

Mbappe seems to have a field fever. But without Vinicius, now the left striker position is given to Mbappe and Ancelotti puts Rodrygo as a center forward.
Mbappe may be more comfortable playing as a left striker and not as a center forward as he usually plays when Vinicius is in the squad. He scored 1 goal in that match, hopefully, when he scores more goals in any position he is placed, he will be more comfortable playing.

Arda Guler seems to have a choice to go to Arsenal during this January window. The offer will be (rumoured to be) a loan until the end of the season with a buy option, which I am sure Real will want to have one without the buy option, to give him time at a big club while also keeping him, but Arsenal is not a place where players go to grow up and then leave, maybe twenty years ago under Wergen but not anymore.

Today, Arda will be an Arsenal player if he plays good there and they want him there, so buy option clause is important for them, but they will want to decline to exercise it if he plays terrible. Looking at how he is fitting with Real Madrid, I would say it's the biggest no brainer transfer I have heard in a long time, Arda doesn't fit this Real Madrid team at all and you see his amazing skills anytime he plays, it's just that he will not be able to shine here at all, the best place for him would have been Barcelona without a doubt, but Arsenal is still better than Real for him.

If these rumours have a slight reality in them, Arda Güler should absolutely think about this option seriously. Loan or permanent, it doesn't matter. I wouldn't think too much if I were in his place honestly. Because just think about it. You can't find many chances at Real Madrid. It is really difficult for Ancelotti to give him what he wants as well. You know how many stars there are in the attacking line. 

Playing for Arsenal would be great for Arda. I don't doubt his playing often there. I believe Arteta would prefer him in the starting lineup regularly. He has a great technique and I believe he would fit the team too.

It a huge win for Real Madrid, after Barcelona lose their match against Leganes on Saturday real Madrid needed all three point to close the gap between them and Barcelona, Madrid Have a match in hand and if they should win it they will go top of the league. Real Madrid have this thing that normally happens for them, for years now most people will tell you real Madrid don't play that good but then they know how to get jobs done and again we probably going to see it this season in laliga.

Mbape is still struggling in the real Madrid shirt, most of this things happen when you change a club especially when their is so much expectations and you really need to prove that you are actually up to the task. He scored a very good goal yesterday, that was suppose to boost his confidence but the second half he got plenty of chances and he wasted all of them, babe needs I get himself together, he actually needs to stop playing to impress because that where he is getting it all wrong. Just try to score in every match and that it, the chances will always come he just need to calm down and take them.

Though Barcelona is still at the top of the La Liga points table, Real Madrid, who are in 2nd position, are not far behind. With only 1 point difference and Real having one more match left, if the team wins there, there will be a chance to take the top position at the moment. Since Barcelona will compete with Mallorca on the 4th DEC., if they win there, they will be ahead again, but if they lose, they have a chance of falling below Real. Both Barca and Real Madrid will try to play the next match with great importance. The truth is that Hansi Flick is also the most tense about the match.

Interestingly, Barcelona's chances of winning are considered significantly better than Real's:

5.90 - 4.30 - 1.56
3.45 - 3.45 - 2.16

Granted, it's hard to believe that Barcelona will lose points for the fourth time in a row, but 2.16 for Real to win? Athletic is a good team, but I think Real is underrated in this game and should bet on them to win. Such a coefficient would be justified in a game with Atletico or Barcelona, ​​but not with anyone else.

[tygeade]

Madrid needed 3 points. And Madrid managed to achieve it. By securing 3 points in this match, Real Madrid has been able to reduce the gap with Barcelona. It is not surprising to see Real Madrid at the top of the table in the next few weeks. Because Barcelona has failed to play well in recent matches.

After adding Mbappe to the squad, we thought that Madrid would become unstoppable this season. Madrid will be able to break any team's defense easily. However, we are not seeing that this season. The bonding of the players in the midfield with the forwards is weak. Therefore, Madrid's overall performance has also become irregular. At the same time, Madrid is not getting consistent good performance from two important players like Mbappe and Bellingham. Honestly, I miss Toni Kroos a lot in Madrid's squad this season. If Kroos had been with the Madrid squad, Madrid's midfield would undoubtedly have been more stable.

To be fair it looks like he did play alright for this game, definitely looked stronger this way. They had way to omany wings and not enough strikers last season, and instead this season they have plenty of strikers with Mbappe considered to be one, and Endrick too, and yet they are missing both Vini and Rodrygo so it's a big problem.

In the end, I am pretty sure that they are going to do fine, just as we see here them getting three points, we can be certain that they are not going to give up the la liga chase. They are still very close to Barcelona and one loss from Barcelona would mean Real Madrid will take the lead, even a tie would be enough. I understand they are looking terrible at UCL, but even that could be fixed, they will finish withing top 24, and they will go to playoff knockout stage, and they will win that, then it's last sixteen, everything is reset after the group stages so we are going to see Real Madrid do better I am sure of it.
