Atletico madrid played away to almeria.Both teams performed equally well in the match and there was no winner.This draw is of course more important for almeria.Even taking 1 point from an opponent like Atletico madrid is a great success for them.It's a sad situation for Atletico madrid.The points difference with the leader is getting wider and wider and we can say that they are out of the championship race. It seems difficult for them to recover from here.
In the other match of the day, we watched the fight between getafe and espanyol.I have to say that enes unal scored a great goal for getafe.He is really doing good things this season.I see him taking himself one step further.

Athletico's mistake was to relax the attack when they scored their first goal after previously carrying out a fast attack, that's what the club usually does, which sometimes after scoring a goal they relax the game to be more relaxed and finally almeria gives a surprise equalizer to a draw, clearly this is a fatal mistake that must be addressed so that one cannot underestimate the opponent in the next match

good for Barcelona for winning the super cup, but to be honest i don't this it's an indicator of how they will play in La Liga, they are leading now but it will be really tough, Real Madrid could take that defeat as fuel to try harder and be stronger in the league, the winner of in La Liga is yet to be determined.

well, I think Barcelona played a different game last night. to be honest, this is the first time I watched this fight until the end.  because previously, Barcelona's game pattern was really messy. but in last night's game, they showed their quality. I like the rotation that Xavi does, as well as the formation that Xavi applies. I think Barcelona is on the right track especially if Xavi can further improve the performance and mentality of his troops.

At least, if Barcelona is able to maintain and maintain a consistent performance. it is not impossible, Barcelona was able to win the La Liga trophy this season. I hope yes, Barcelona is able to play at the actual level even though there are still some shortcomings that Xavi has to fix in the future, especially the chemistry and player bonds that are getting more solid.

As for Madrid, this defeat should be a turning point for them to perform better and close any weaknesses in their squad. because of the competition for the competition trophy this season, it will be even more competitive.

It's the first time I've seen Real's defense this bad. No one is running during the match. Even though Xavi was criticized, he never disturbed the stability, and Gavi and Pedri officially descended to him from the sky, he sees himself and iniesta for a long time when he looks at them. Now that the middle has been taken care of, it's time to play the classic Barça, tiki taka. We are witnessing the birth of both the best duo in the world and a coach who looks like they will win many trophies. Real couldn't do anything to this game even if they wanted to. It's normal for Real Madrid to lose. The team needs to rejuvenate now. It won't go any further. Dembele, Gavi, Pedri, Dejong, it's hard to stop these guys. Young, talented guys who are quite fast.

We used to say that El Clasico matches are not good as they used to be, but this match is really one of the best El Clasico I've watched after a long time.

After Athletico scored the first goal in the 18th minute, Almeria also scored in the 37th minute.  The first half of the game was 1-1 goal. but there was no goal in the second half.  However, although neither side's players committed too many fouls, one of Athletico's players named Sergio Reguilon was fouled multiple times and get two yellow cards and one red card. At the beginning of the game it looked like Athletico were playing well and maybe they could get a good result but they were not able to do so.

Congratulations Barcelona, the first trophy for Xavi this season. I was really disappointed with Real Madrid's performance, they were not even able to control the ball well. They are even very neat in defense. Gavi is also very good, he deserves to be the best player today.
Gavi scored one goal and one assist, he became a star despite being only 18 years old. Xavi was also smart, he directly gave instructions to put pressure on Madrid so that they could not develop the game well, and it was proved. It's going to be even more exciting, for the League champion fight this season.

Well, first of all, I congratulate Barcelona and, of course Havi with his first trophy, it was beautiful! Why Real was playing so badly, it is difficult to say, in the first half of Barcelona did not let them do anything, and in addition, Real was very bad in defense, the second and third goal they made the same mistake, shot from the center where Lewandowski and Pedri just left alone and without any interference scored goals.

I expected the best game from Real Madrid, but this is sport -  wins the strongest, yesterday Barcelona was stronger and deservedly received the cup. My congratulations!

[Doell]

Barcelona's new record manage beat Real Madrid in the Supercopa Final yesterday
The Supercopa Trophy will add to the Barcelona Trophy collection list. Besides that, yesterday's win will add to the confidence of the players in the remaining competitions, especially such as Laliga and Europa League.
The combination of Robert Lewandowski and his friends succeed to trouble the opponent's defense. Gavi managed to change the score in the 33rd minute.

Also good new record for Xavi, this man successfully beat Ancelotti strategy and brought trophy to home, of course I agree it will add to the confidence of the players to be more consistent in the later remaining competitions. By the way I think Real Madrid defeat this time is really serious, they can only rely on Benzema to score, before UCL starts again I hope Ancelotti be able to improve performance squad of Real Madrid squad.

[skarais]

Simeone can give them feeling about stability and safety but this season is key for Atletico Madrid to decide about their future and contract with Simeone.

In the end Diego Simeone may not be able to maintain his position at Atletico Madrid as a coach even though he currently has no intention of leaving Atletico Madrid. Diego Simeone has lost his best players one by one while some of the players available have experienced a dip in form. It is difficult to expect Atletico Madrid to be able to achieve the same achievements as in the 2020/2021 season when they won the La Liga title. This season their defense is not too bad, but it is definitely not worth the number of goals scored in their last 17 matches.

I think Atletico Madrid should look for a good striker during this transfer market, it will help their attack line up better. It is even very difficult for Morata, Griezmann and Ángel Correa to be expected to score more than 2 goals in one match. So really, a striker is what Atletico Madrid need right now.

Most of the currently favored teams do this more often, I just don't understand what factors made them reduce the intensity of their attacks when they were ahead even with only one goal. Even though it is clear, this match is a big chance for Atletico to get full points and also with a win with a better score.
But regarding the title race, basically Atletico is not a team that always has the chance to win the title because Atletico is only a shadow of Real Madrid and Barcelona. So basically Atletico will still be fine if they still have a chance to finish in the top four.

[LUCKMCFLY]

this victory is clear evidence that they have woken up, now Barcelona are still at the top of the La Liga standings and their performance is getting better, they just need consistency to be able to win the La Liga title.

this is Barcelona's first trophy after being handled by Xavi and this can be a point of their crew to continue to develop.
and seeing the performance of the two best Spanish teams at the moment is very inversely felt by Real Madrid, they seem to have experienced a significant decline in performance lately so this can be a big advantage for Barcelona.

apart from the European competition that Barcelona can still achieve, but I don't have high expectations because the journey is still very long, but for the La Liga title, I think for now the percentage of Barcelona to be able to win it is greater than Real Madrid.

Source Congratulations Barcelona, the first trophy for Xavi this season. I was really disappointed with Real Madrid's performance, they were not even able to control the ball well. They are even very neat in defense. Gavi is also very good, he deserves to be the best player today.
Gavi scored one goal and one assist, he became a star despite being only 18 years old. Xavi was also smart, he directly gave instructions to put pressure on Madrid so that they could not develop the game well, and it was proved. It's going to be even more exciting, for the League champion fight this season.

Firstly, I would like to say that Barcelona was well deserved to win the match and in terms of their defense, Real Madrid were really lacking. I have to say that this is Carlo Ancelotti's third loss in the finals and I must say that this has been a tough loss for him.

It is important to give credit where it is due, because Xavi was really effective with his tactics and I have to say that Gavi in particular played exceptionally well in midfield. There was only one goal scored by Real Madrid in the 93rd minute of the game. During the course of the game, Real Madrid's defense seemed to be all over the place.

Well, Real Madrid here came out with everything they had to do, they came out with their Arsenal, but apparently Xavi managed to decipher Ancelotti's strategy, that requires recognition, and yes, in part that gives a lot of oxygen to a Barcleona that comes. many problems of all kinds, not bad, I couldn't say that Real Madrid lost because they had no luck, they played with everything they had, maybe Ancelotti now has to make changes to his strategy, not be so persuasive, and one of the Things that they must manage is that they do not leave everything for the second half, it seems that all the energy they put into it is at minute 80 onwards, which is when they attack the most and do more, the games sometimes have to be assured from the beginning.

Here Valverder agrees with my opinion:

Speaking after the match, Valverde explained to MD that Los Blancos were not at full pelt when they started the match.

“Today the team was not good and it showed. In a final you have to go out to give 100% from the beginning and we didn’t do it. We went out to give 80 or 90 and that’s not enough.”

Even more concerning will be the precedent that Valverde’s statement sets. Real Madrid have won just two of their last five La Liga matches and needed penalties to surpass Valencia in the Supercup semi-final. If it really was a lack of effort that led their defeat, it opens the door for effort levels to be questioned in other games too.

This is what stood out, without a doubt Ancelotti has to work more on the resistance of his players and make them give everything from the beginning until they give everything at the end of the game, sometimes 3 goals cannot be overcome in 10 minutes, this is a very bad resource that they always resort to, sometimes it has worked, but at this point that is not good, personally I do not think it is correct to leave everything in the hands of giving all the maximum effort to the last, because it does not arrive on time, they will be left short and in reality it is already very bad, it is a reckless strategy, the forwards wear out a lot and on this occasion they did not achieve anything.

Barcelona is entitled to this trophy after successfully humiliating Real Madrid through a beautiful game. The Super Cup trophy is a beautiful start for Xavi to win the next trophy.

[LGD2Business]

Today's match is very boring according to some because the teams in the last two rows of the league are playing. But I think it could be a good match. I follow Cadiz matches and they actually play well. It was absolutely surprising that they stayed on this point. They should have been much higher in standing. If you look at the league table anyway, there is only 4 points difference between Valencia in 12th place and Cadiz in 19th place. If Cadiz, who is missing a match, wins today, they will move up to 14th place. So the table is actually not what it seems. In the lower ranks, no team other than Elche didn't break in points.

I have to congratulate Barcelona for winning the Super Cup, and another congratulations for Xavi Hernandez for bringing the trophy to Barcelona. Looking at this match, in my opinion they deserve to be champions with the game they presented so well, and even I think they are starting to see a decline in their productivity to score goals from Real Madrid. They need to quickly fix this for La Liga and the Champions League.

In a biggest crisis of the club after 20 years, Xavi managed to bring them to a trophy, in his second season as their coach. What do people want more from Xavi?

Honestly I believe Xavi is doing his job so great even before this trophy. With this trophy, he can convince many people that he is so good for Barcelona in these years. This trophy can be a milestone for Barcelona and Xavi to bigger success in future. Their young players now are not only talented but already experienced a feeling of lifting trophy. It is so helpful for them and can motivate them to train more, play better to win more trophies.

Also, Cadiz and Sevilla are in fact at the moment they have the same points tally with 15 points and yes, Elche is the only team this season that has been very bad. Therefore, this match is certainly a big chance for Cadiz to win again after previously Cadiz managed to beat Valencia.
At least Cadiz has better quality in this moment and also, it looks like Cadiz got a better performance after the season break because Cadiz got points from the previous two matches. With such performance, it is certainly not surprising that in this match Cadiz is the favorite team.

The Super Cup title won't be enough to make the supporters satisfied enough for certain. Because the expectations from this team are much higher these days.

Unless they win the La Liga title Barcelona board also wouldn't count this season as a successful one. They need to win at least one of the La Liga or Europa League titles to meet the expectations. Because they have already been eliminated from the Champions League by showing a horrible performance. This was enough to start criticizing Xavi. Because this team were normally strong enough to qualify from that group. Now Xavi will be expected to win a big title to make up for that. They are strong enough to win one of those two tournaments I indicated.

Congratulations to Xavi and the rest of Barcelona on their Super Bowl victory! It's no secret that they've been on a roll as of late, so it's fantastic to see them bring home the first hardware of Xavi's tenure as coach. Even though Real Madrid didn't play particularly well, the fact that they lost merely highlights how wonderfully Barcelona accomplished. Even after Messi retires, we expect great things from Barcelona. Carry on, Barca

You are right, Barcelona deserved that Super Cup after doing a great job. Gavi, Lewandowski and Pedri were the three players who stood out the most during the final, and they really caught the eye by scoring goals and providing assists. Of course winning in the final is great, especially against Real Madrid. Huge appreciation for Barcelona and its coach, so of course this is a good start to hope for even more success in the future.

Real Madrid certainly wanted to win this title too, but they failed because they probably underestimated Barcelona too much. The second volume of El Clasico match for La Liga will be more challenging, it will be held at Camp Nou.

This title will surely give them morale boost, Barcelona has some amazing young players like Gabi, who contributed to all goals scored by Barcelona. Xavi started to adapt to the team so this season I expect a lot from Barcelona despite the fact they were kicked out of ECL. Apart from this, I felt that Real Madrid weren't playing seriously, I don't think they weren't interested in winning the match, but Barcelona looked more motivated.

Indeed, this victory will allow FC Barcelona to focus in La Liga with a renewed hope. In addition, the fact that they have won 4 out of their 5 last games (not 5 out of 5 due to a draw) and that they have collected to date three more points that Real Madrid put them in an advantageous position.

I'm happy por Xavi, who has been so criticized lately for his style of management. Yes, he is quite young, he has been a player until quite recently, but we shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
