Totally agreed.

We just can't rule Barcelona out for the La Liga title in this season. It would be ridiculous while Barcelona are technically the leader at the moment. Their performance against smaller teams have been more impressive than Real Madrid's until now. If Barcelona keep this up Real Madrid might have to deal with a really big problem for them. Benzema is back of course which would be a big contribution and morale to the team. But we will see how this will change their performance by the upcoming games.

I expect these two teams to fight until the end. When it comes to the team I'm favouring for the title, it is Barcelona. Because they haven't been able to make it for three years in the league. This is a big opportunity while they are doing well here.

By the way, I don't expect Barcelona to lose any player in January. They just won't be able to sign any player most probably due to the La Liga financial fair-play rules.

On GOD I'm no Barcelona fan or supporter in anyway but I really want to see them winning that La Liga at all cost so as to enable them scratch off some of those financial worries they currently have.
Real Madrid are favorites but my hunches still tells me man! Barcelona are winning La Liga at the end of the season snd I believe that.

I don't see em loosing a player, and if they do that, then it's to Barcelona's detriment. Is almost stupid to loose players at a point you don't have enough money to bring in replacement. I hope they make good decisions and win the league.

[ShowOff]

I think some players are going to leave Sevilla in this transfer market. I believe that they are not going to stay in the team because I believe they understand really well that this team actually might get relegated. So players will always think about their career. And I think it will be the right decision taken by the player if they actually do that.

Sevilla most likely won't be relegated, I'm absolutely sure about this. It's true, Sevilla have only been able to win 2 matches out of 14 matches so far, meaning that their performance is really bad.

Sevilla's defense is problematic and they haven't had a good striker this season either. Sevilla have lost two centre-backs this season to Barcelona and Aston Villa, but they have not signed a player to match their quality. A few transfers didn't make them stronger but I'm sure they will do something better in January.

[arimamib]

Let's see if the first match in week 15 will be interesting or mediocre. Because these two teams are not the favored teams to win the best position at the end of the season. I'm sure we all miss the performances of Real Madrid and Barcelona more than the league itself, because the competition between these two teams has been eagerly awaited since Barcelona managed to return to the expected performance since being handled by Xavi Hernandez. 

The hunt for the title will continue until the end of the season after Barcelona can provide competition to Real Madrid after Xavi managed to bring Barcelona back to its best form. This season's La Liga is not very competitive after Atletico Madrid and Sevilla failed to maintain their best performance, Valencia and Real Betis also lacked competition in the European zone.
The performances of Real Madrid and Barcelona have been very difficult to match with other teams this season, only El Clasico was the most exciting in La Liga after other teams left the championship path.

[S A KHAIR]

Sevilla had a very good squad in the past years. They also had a lot of success in the European league. 
They became one of the teams that come to mind when La Liga is mentioned. That's why their current position surprises and shocks everyone. They manage to get out of this ranking, but I think they will not be able to go to the European cups. Their only goal this year will be to stay in the league. Sevilla's next matches are very important for them. They can no longer lose points.

yes, I remember meeting her in some games that I saw and in which I bet
but then she seems to have disappeared? Have you had financial or legal problems?
I don't understand how a team can eclipse so quickly
surely there is a very strong cause

At the beginning of the year, they made me wrong on some of my bets. Trusting the name Sevilla and looking at the quality of the squad, it is really the surprise of this year that they are in this position. Now they have to recover, they have to come to their senses. I'm afraid to bet on Sevilla. They are not trustworthy at the moment. I think they'll see success really soon. Together with the Celta Vigo match, they can start to win.

The situation in Sevilla is not good right now. Them being in the relegation zone is something that probably no one expected. They have a goal difference of -9 right now. That is certainly not expected. I don’t know if they have any certain problems going on right now or anything, but this is certainly not expected from them. And now there is only one thing left to see, which is the sacking of the coach of Sevilla.

It seems that in the Villareal vs Valencia match, it will be Villareal who will benefit and have the advantage. because the match will be held at Stadium:El Madrigal. as the host of course Villareal will have quite high self-confidence. But in fact the competition between the two teams has been very fierce since the first. These two teams always take turns winning matches. and uniquely most of the wins are from the team that is the host. then I think this time it will be the same too.

Villarreal and Valencia both need a win to boost the standings in La Liga as well as secure the top five positions as a condition of qualifying for next season's Champions League. So far Villarreal has collected 21 points while Valencia has collected 19 points, five points adrift of Real Sociedad in third place and Atletico Madrid in fourth place, which means that the match will be quite tough because both want full points in the match. Even though Villarreal has the advantage of playing at home in Week 15, Valencia also needs a win in that match.

In terms of the strength of the two teams, they are not much different and of course it is difficult to predict who will win, but if you look at the last few matches, Villarreal has the opportunity to beat Valencia at home, because according to the latest results, Valencia has not been able to keep up with several teams in La Liga this season.

Villarreal and Valencia both need a win to boost the standings in La Liga as well as secure the top five positions as a condition of qualifying for next season's Champions League.

Top 5 and 6th to qualify for the European League, while top 4 to qualify for the Champions League, so a little correction here.

So far Villarreal has collected 21 points while Valencia has collected 19 points, five points adrift of Real Sociedad in third place and Atletico Madrid in fourth place, which means that the match will be quite tough because both want full points in the match. Even though Villarreal has the advantage of playing at home in Week 15, Valencia also needs a win in that match.

Atletico Madrid is currently in 5th place even though they are level on points with Bilbao. Villareal and Valencia both have the opportunity to improve their position in the standings so of course the match between the two will be quite tight. I tend to agree for Villareal to win in this match compared to Valencia, but who knows even though Villareal is playing at home.

Last season Villarreal managed to finish 7th in the final table, but this season I think they deserved to qualify for the Europa League if they didn't waste many chances in easy matches. It might be difficult, but they seem to be trying.

It's a derby game for Barcelona and Espanyol which normally is difficult for both teams. Catalan derbies are generally won by Barcelona more than Espanyol, but after all Espanyol can also make surprises. I don't expect Barcelona to drop points, so victory is mandatory for them. I'm sure Barcelona will be able to maintain their advantage over Real Madrid this week, which means I have no doubts about their win at home. I hope they don't have too many problems without Lewandowski.

Barcelona haven't lost a single home match against Espanyol in the league since 2009.

While there is a statistics like this I just see it very difficult for Espanyol to defeat them. Maybe Lewandowski won't be able to play in this match but I don't think this will weaken Barcelona very significantly. I saw a match Barcelona played in the league before in which Lewandowski didn't play. Ferran Torres must be playing in his place but still they didn't have big difficulties in winning that match. I think there will be a similar scenario here as well. Espanyol have been too bad in away matches so far. They won only once and it was a long time ago. Barcelona should be getting a decent win.

Mbappe is a psg player for now, he is under contract with psg and Real madrid have to turn their attention away from him because it will be too difficult and expensive for them to sign him now, maybe they can when his current contract expires with psg, but anything before that is too hard to achieve.

PSG know what they did with Mbappe, I mean PSG will not allow any team including Real Madrid to try to get Mbappe for free at the end of his contract. Real Madrid seem to have enough funds to bid PSG for Mbappe but I think they just don't want to do it now. Mbappe's release clause is very high, but I think it's worth it for the form he's had so far.

Real Madrid will never lose Mbappe despite such a high price, he is still young and he is the one who will replace Messi and Ronaldo in the coming seasons as the next best player in the world. His performance is better than Neymar, he is very fast and very difficult to stop. Real Madrid of course really like him, but they seem to have no intention of activating his release clause at PSG.

M. Bappe is going to be the number one of the world's best very soon.  He is young and talented and fast.  So no matter how much money Real Madrid gets the chance to buy M Bappe. Because M Bappe will rule the next generation.

[longyenthanh]

Welcome back La Liga after one month postponed due FIFA World Cup 2022 and today first opening match will begin, most enthusiast watching four our favorite team playing. Girona vs Rayo Vallecano will be opening match for La Liga in matchday 15, another excited with Real Madrid match early than Barcelona and have opportunity back to the top position standing for one day if can defeat Valladolid.

Seems between Barcelona and Real Madrid have full team for their first match except Robert Lewandowski have absent three matches later after receiving red card last match. Barcelona will begin with derby against Espanyol and looking forward how possibility with scheme use y Xavi Hernandez after Lewandowski absent.

I really missed this very competitive league, let's see if the performances of the teams will be the same as before. Real Madrid and Barcelona must win 3 points without difficulty, their opponents are not very strong. If they make a mistake in a week like this, they can cause teams to panic.
I don't expect any surprise result this week, the leaderboard will not change for long and after 1 day Barcelona will be the leader again

it's important to remember that in soccer, anything can happen.while it's true that Real Madrid and Barcelona are historically strong teams, it's possible for them to have an off day and lose to a weaker opponent!!!it’s also possible for a weaker team to put in a strong performance and surprise everyone with a victory!!.its important to approach each match with an open mind and not make assumptions about the outcome.even if the leaderboard does not change after one day, it's important to remember that there are many more matches to be played and anything can happen.
It's important to enjoy the competition and the excitement of the sport!!

No team is small in football.  Any team can make anything happen given the opportunity or the slightest weakness in the strong team.  So being in top rank is not a big deal.  Rather, the aim should be to win every match ahead.

Barcelona this season have been a very good team in La Liga both in home and away results, so even though this is a derby match it is basically clear they have very different qualities. Unless Espanyol also has good quality, then this derby match will certainly be very interesting but because of these differences, of course this derby match cannot be the hope for Espanyol to be able to beat Barcelona.
Moreover, so far this season Barcelona is the only team that has conceded a very low number of goals in La Liga.

With such extraordinary results, of course Barcelona this season in La Liga has proven that Barcelona has a very good defense line.
So, even though Lewandowski cannot be played, the fact is that Barcelona will still be safe, at least not to concede a goal. Because with Barcelona having a good defense, then they only need to maximize their attack, because so far Lewandowski is a goal machine for Barcelona.

[Zaguru12]

The situation in Sevilla is not good right now. Them being in the relegation zone is something that probably no one expected. They have a goal difference of -9 right now. That is certainly not expected. I don’t know if they have any certain problems going on right now or anything, but this is certainly not expected from them. And now there is only one thing left to see, which is the sacking of the coach of Sevilla.

They already sacked Julien lopetuige who is now a wolves manager in the Epl. I think what Sevila needs is team cohesion because it has been lacking throughout this season, they still have quite a good squad even though they lost Kounde there regular centerback to Barcelona. His departure has greatly affected them defending important lead or holding on to a point. This transfer window I feel they need another creative midfielder because creativity is lacking but with the return of En Nesyr after a great world cup it will be a boost for there attack. I believe they could turn it around this second half of the season

[Asiska02]

Today La Liga starts again, 3 matches scheduled: Girona-Vallecano, Betis-Atletich Bilbao and Atletico Madrid-Elche Officials Girona-Vallecano, Stuani starts from the bench for the home team.

This year's La Liga title will be taken by Real Madrid

You appear to be quite certain that Real Madrid will win the league this season. Remember, the league has only recently resumed, and they will be playing the remaining half of the matches. I won't argue with you about the possible league winner based on their performance, but let's see if they can maintain their performance in the remaining league matches to earn the title.

[Oneandpure]

We can only hope but it seems like that the only change gonna be the main striker from barcelona. As far as i know that barcelona refuses to sell de jong. Depay has a very big chance to play against espanyol. I hope that espanyol will be also giving a tough game for barcelona.
Barcelona and real madrids will be trying to win the match. That's gonna be interesting match. Will barcelona have a domination over espanyol even without lewandowski? Let's see how barcelona will able to make goal without lewandowski.

Xavi Hernandez have option with three forward left right now between Memphis Depay, Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres as option can replacing position leaving by Robert Lewandowski absent three matches later. I think have option between Memphis Depay or Ferran Torres with their character as center forward depending Ansu Fati with his regular position left forward.

Espanyol still underperformance in this season looking on their current standing position right now, having 12 points from 14 matches and behind 1 points left from regelation team zone. Maybe the first match after the international break could be enough recovery time for Espanyol to gain points from Barcelona in the Catalunya derby match.

[rendravolt]

Betis vs Bilbao is the game I've been waiting for from LaLiga and I still believe Betis has the first chance to win the game but also they are the better team and have the better players. Bilbao , in my opinion , they have massive luck to be on 4th place in LaLiga and this will change when teams like ATL.Madrid and maybe Valencia will start to win more games.

Currently the first round match is underway at minute 28, so far the two teams are playing quite well but with the same number of points the chances of winning for both teams are very slim and it could end in a draw. But overall my players favor Real Betis in this match. We hope that in this first half someone will score first so that they can present an exciting match.

The first half is over and the result is still 0-0. Perhaps we see a match with no goals, although I expected more, like you. Taking into account the tight difference between teams, each point counts.

Btw, I expect Athletic to win, if someone scores a goal today.

[Zackgeno96]

Still no goals in the match between Real Betis and Atheltic de Bilbao. I think this is a best of the rest game. Both teams will especially not want to lose, if they both play the 2nd half with this goal, this could well be a goalless match. We saw a little more fireworks at Girona - Rayo Vallecano, which ended in an attractive draw with 2-2. The worst referee of the World Cup, who led Argenitnie - Netherlands, will just whistle again in the Spanish league this weekend.

This looks like it will be an exciting match to watch, Real Betis produced 2 shots on target but still couldn't score in the first half. Meanwhile, the possession of the ball was almost evenly matched between the two teams and it is true that every goal scored will be counted in this match, it is very difficult to predict who will win it.

[kawetsriyanto]

It's true that in a last few seasons of Messi in Barcelona, their quality was lower than what they had in the past with Pep Guardiola and Luiz Enrique as their coaches and with better players, Xavi, Iniesta, Villa, Eto'o, Suarez, Neymar ... The transfer of Neymar to PSG marks a decreasing quality of Barcelona.

After that Messi carried Barcelona from scoring goals, making key passes, creating chances, controlling match intensity for them. Anyway as a single player, Messi could not bring them to success. Their defense was worse than in the past too.

Barcelona can't get the successors of Xavi and Iniesta, it is not about the decrease in Messi's performance or the bad quality of the coach's strategy. They have no good players who can control the match in the midfield line, no one who can serve Messi as well as Xavi-Iniesta. Even, after Messi was leaving and Xavi became the coach, we never see a solid tiki-taka as previously.

Sure, Messi can't make the success of Barcelona lonely. It is a football game, it is about teamwork.

Xavi is still obsessed with tiki-taka that he is familiar with but he does not have enough ingredients to build a good one with players he has. I don't see too much different in Xavi tiki taka and the past one. Barcelona are playing more directly and using more physical strength in attacking but not different than in the past. At least, they are not too productive to covert ball possession to goals.

Xavi needs time to adopt a new tiki-taka model with new players. And since Barcelona main lineup has some young players, they need more experience to play with the tiki-taka tactic effectively. Honestly, I believe Xavi will lead Barcelona to their best era again if he continues to manage Barcelona. It may be not in the near future (not in this season), but in the next few years.

[lalabotax]

This year's La Liga title will be taken by Real Madrid

You appear to be quite certain that Real Madrid will win the league this season. Remember, the league has only recently resumed, and they will be playing the remaining half of the matches. I won't argue with you about the possible league winner based on their performance, but let's see if they can maintain their performance in the remaining league matches to earn the title.

argumenting this seem slike gambling. Both Barcelona and Real Madrid has the chance. but rigjt mow, it is still difficult to determine which one that will be the winner of La Liga. both deserve the title if they can be more consisten to play amd always having more victories.

btw, Atletico Madrid is now playong aginst Elche and the score is currently still draw 0-0. Atletico Madrid must be able to win if we see the squad and Elche is the lowest team. but again, sometimes, Atletico Madrid gives bad surprise.
