Atlético Madrid vs Espanyol
Confirmed Lineups
Atlético Madrid (confirmed lineup): Jan Oblak, Robin Le Normand, Axel Witsel, Cesar Azpilicueta, Nahuel Molina, Samuel Dias Lino, Rodrigo De Paul, Koke, Rodrigo Riquelme, Julian Alvarez, Alexander Soerloth.

Espanyol (confirmed lineup): Joan Garcia, Omar El Hilali, Fernando Calero, Marash Kumbulla, Carlos Romero, Alvaro Tejero, Alex Kral, Jose Gragera, Alvaro Aguado, Javier Puado, Alejo Veliz.

The second half had been going on for several minutes, but the score had not changed. Atletico Madrid really dominated the attack and pressed Espanyol intensively, but they still had difficulty scoring goals and both were still playing at 0-0. Atletico Madrid has a big chance of winning in their home match, but Espanyol's ability to defend means that Diego Simeone's men have not managed to break through the goal.

Julian Alvarez was replaced at the start of the second half, who was then replaced by Antoine Griezmann. Alvarez is also still having difficulty getting his debut goal with Atletico Madrid so far, but of course people need to be patient because the player's adaptation process is sometimes longer.

Nico Williams is again not in the starting lineup of Athletic Bilbao... I don't get the manager about this decision. He is the most valuable player in your squad not only in terms of market value but also talent. Why would you do this?  

There were rumours about him to leave the team before. But there isn't anymore as far as I know. If I'm wrong about it please correct me. He should be able to concentrate on his game easily as a result.

Anyways, I hope Athletic Bilbao get their first win of the season against Valencia. Probably we would see Nico on the pitch in the second half. Because the youngster Olabarrieta hasn't been playing well so far.

In previous matches, such as the match against Barcelona, ​​we saw Nico as the starting xi, but in this match Nico Williams was not included in the Starting XI. But this player came on from the bench. This is different from last season when Nico was played more from the start. This season is a little different, but in the end Nico is always played, even though not from the start. And the Bilbao vs Valencia match has also finished and as a result Bilbao won with a narrow score of 1-0.

The matches currently underway are the Atletico Madrid vs Espanyol match with the score still 0-0 and then the Real Sociedad vs Alaves match with the score 1-1. And the remaining matches in week 3 are Girona vs Osasuna and Las Palmas vs Real Madrid. The remaining two matches will be played tomorrow.

Julian Alvarez looked lively in the first half, had some chance to score, but could not. Atletico Madrid coach has replaced in with a more familiar option of Griezmann and just some few minutes into the second half atletico Madrid scored a goal but has had the goal cancelled for offside, a relief for Espanyol. atletico Madrid have the dominant position in this game not just because they are the home team but because their players have shown more quality. it will be a very big and bad results for them if they did not win this game. There is still plenty of time to win it.

It seems like Atletico Madrid will be unlucky in today's match because they got quite a lot of chances but none of them were successfully completed into goals. But there is still time for Atletico Madrid to score goals, Griezmann must be able to maximize the opportunities he gets to be completed into goals because I see no great effort from Espanyol in attacking because Atletico Madrid was able to control the course of the match in today's match.

Now talking about Alvarez, of course he had some good chances but his kicks were still blocked by Garcia. In another match, Real Sociedad seems to be quite difficult to maintain a draw for the time being because they are short of one player because Oyarzabal got a red card in the 29th minute. I think Alaves must be able to take advantage of this opportunity to find their first win this season.

Barcelona is giving some other players on loan and maybe they do that to make these players more experienced and then they will have better players but in some cases, they do that because of the interest in players to leave or play for the other teams.
Clément Lenglet the player of Barcelona didn't have much chance to play he was about to leave. Now it seems Atletico Madrid is interested in hiring this player and that's why Clément Lenglet is going to play for this team on loan.

I don’t think Barcelona will give their players out for loan for only the sake of experience for the players. I mean, clement Lenglet is not capable, but Barcelona needs to do that based on their present financial situation. That is the main reason why they will have to give some of the players on loan. Because this season's Barcelona performance is not getting that good, they still have some challenges in their performance that they need to rectify. But you can see their faults because they need to have financial stability in order to have a smooth running of the team, so to me, the main reason for them giving out their players on loans is due to their finances.

A little unfortunate in the end this match had to end goalless even though Atletico had a great chance to get 3 points in today's match only they were unable to do so.

Finishing became a problem that seemed inevitable in this match especially with Espanyol who did a good defensive scheme making Atletico's chances and the dominance they created did not make them gain an advantage in today's match.

There were so many wasted opportunities for Atletico that today's match had to end in a draw.
Honestly these 2 draws actually seem normal for Atletico at the start of the season but I don't like to see this especially after Sorloth and Julian are in the squad.

[Weawant]

The season has just begun and we cannot conclude who will be topping the table because there are so many surprises that at e yet to come. Barcelona was able to win their two matches doesn't mean that they will continue like that till the end of the season.

There are some clubs that when Barcelona meets will make them drop points and other clubs will take over topping the table from them. Flickr is a good coach no doubt but I have not seen the best of him yet until in El Clasico.

Actually any team can top the table currently but it's not a guarantee they will be there long enough, stay there the longest is the biggest of all the struggles so if any team is at the top now, we can say they are topping temporarily but if they are able to hold on to the position for a period of at least 4weeks then they have got the title race opportunity, but what we know often is the temporarily nature of people who gets to the top of the table at the beginning of the season as it's no news but it will be on the record that at a time in the new season, they did stayed at the top of the table. Barcelona may be able to top now but how well they can maintain it is the problem because even other teams may at some point get them displaced.

This Alvarez situation, I feel like I'm the only one who wouldn't have liked him to join Athletico Madrid. I feel like he made the wrong decision to leave Manchester City. There was no reason for him to leave, he just listened to people who felt he should leave. He was seeing minutes at Manchester City. Yeah, he was not a starter but he was playing and he was scoring goals, and important goals too, to top that all up he was winning trophies.

Joining Athletico Madrid is not a bad decision either, but if there were any ideas in his head that he was going to have it easy without competition in Madrid he was wrong. Sorloth is going to be a top contender for their striker position. I know they both play together with Griezmann behind them but if he (Alvarez) doesn't start becoming sharp and scoring goals he might be dropped and then he will go back to the same position he was running from at City, the second striker.

[TelolettOm]

Not only that, even Dani Olmo scored the winning goal for Barcelona in his debut at the club. He proved that his signing at Barcelona at least produced good results in his first match.

Pedri scored the first goal for the Barcelona team, he tried hard enough to score from the start. And the second goal was scored by Dani Olmo, another young player of the Barcelona team. He helped the Barcelona team to win. In this match, the Barcelona team made 22 kicks on the goal post and Rayo Vallecano team made a total of 8 kicks.

Barcelona's efforts so far at the beginning of the season are indeed that serious and they prove that they are capable. It was not easy for them, but all is solid. Barcelona's success in defeating Rayo made them lead the La Liga standings for the time being. And this is an amazing early achievement, because, previously, Many parties even doubted Barcelona this season.

There were so many wasted opportunities for Atletico that today's match had to end in a draw.
Honestly these 2 draws actually seem normal for Atletico at the start of the season but I don't like to see this especially after Sorloth and Julian are in the squad.

Really, ineffective attacks,
a goal disallowed for offside,
and missed so many chances,
25 shots! it's 25 and 7 on target!
this time, Atletico just played beautifully and dominated, but not deadly.

Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona

Rayo Vallecano (4-2-3-1): Cardenas; Balliu, Lejeune, Mumin, Espino; Ciss, Valentin; Palazon, Lopez, Embarba; Camello.

Barcelona  (4-2-3-1): Ter Stegen; Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez, Balde; Bernal, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski.

Barcelona have an opportunity to take over the table tonight against Rayo Vallecano after Celta Vigo was defeated by Villareal, allowing Villareal to top with 7 POINTS keep the top ready for Barcelona after winning this match, Rayo Vallecano are in a good shape because the haven't lost any match, they only got one win and a draw so Barcelona really have to play harder to win despite Rayo Vallecano are the host and we all know how host normally behave.

Barcelona is not an easy and weak team they also beat Real Madrid 2-1 in August 4th match. so Barcelona has a chance to win the match against Rayo Vallecano at least 2-0 in this match. But nothing can be guaranteed in football.  Because there are times when a strong team loses a match against a weaker team due to some weakness. so in this match we can expect Barcelona to win but Rayo Vallecano can win if they have good luck and good performance.

They might have won the match but it was not an easy one for them. At some points I was thinking they might settle for a draw seeing how they have had luck at scoring. In a league like La Liga, when a weaker team is playing at home and manages to score first, it is somehow hard for the big team to turn the game around. The second half was favorable for Barcelona as they were able to win the match from a one goal deficit. I was not expecting Dani Olmo to score because he was practically not in the match from first half. Isn't it strange that Barcelona have won all their three matches this season by 2-1.

Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona

~~

Tonight, Barcelona still have winning trend in last two match will face Rayo Vallecano, have good news for Vallecano after success signing Jame Rodriguez and any potential for him make debut in this match. Have bad news for Barcelona after last two match can't registering their new players and seems facing Rayo Vallecano seems Dani Olmo not ready in the player list name.
Dani Olmo will absent three consecutives match for Barcelona in la Liga and become most absent for new players recruitment after break out financial regulation.

Several Barca players have been reported to leave lately, Faye has moved to Rennes, Clement and Vitor Roque have been loaned. So, it might just be a matter of time to register Olmo. I think this technical problem will be resolved soon, and Olmo will soon be included in Hansi Flick's squad list.

Today La Liga will present the match between Rayo Vallecano and Barcelona, ​​on paper Barca is more favored even though they are playing away. Considering the meeting of these two teams, in the first two meetings in the last two seasons, the results of the match always ended in a draw. However, this time Barca is a little different. In addition to Flick playing more of his young players, he also emphasized that his team should press high throughout the match. Theoretically, Barcelona will dominate the course of this match. In addition, the odds presented by the betting exchange have a fairly obvious gap for both teams. So, Barcelona should be able to get full points over Rayo. My estimate is that there will be three goals in this match.

The departure of these players may be working to the advantage of Barcelona. You see how brutal they have become, winning all three matches they have played so far. They have a formidable attack now with Yamal and Lewandowski ready to score at any slightest opportunity. The play pattern of the Barcelona team now have some striking similarities with Xavi, Messi and Iniesta combination. If they achieve this blend, then Barcelona will definitely start aiming for the title this season which will be nice as that will bring serious competition in the league.

There is still plenty of time to win it.

I was seeing different things about Alvarez. He's pretty much useless in how the team plays right now. He gives me Jackson vibes in this game. He'll get no goals all year playing like this. He should have stayed on the pitch to get more minutes. All he did was jog for 45 minutes. I'm very disappointed with his performance. No doubt he played as a secondary striker on City before.

Even the decision to replace Alvarez with Griezmann was not giving impact, too. I meant Griezmann played in the way Alvarez did. He was also jogging and contributed nothing to that game. It seems Griezmann is finished now.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

Valencia are the worst team at the start of the season, 3 games have passed and they have lost all points what happened?
They have been experiencing a decline in performance since last season and this season it has gotten worse, losing 3 games in a row is their worst record and I am not sure they can get out of this situation. Based on the schedule, Valencia must face 2 other strong teams in the next match if they continue to lose then Valencia could be a candidate for relegation.

By the way, Leganes as a promoted team played quite well in the last 3 matches, they managed to collect 5 points and in the next match I think they will get 3 points against Mallorca, Leganes have a good defense and as a home team they have the support of their fans. Juan Cruz is one of the Leganes players who scored 2 goals and is currently in the top scorers' list 24 year old young player with a market value of 1.5 million.

Unfortunately, Atletico Madrid could not win the match. I had high expectations from them this year in La Liga, but I see that they are still facing points losses. Julian Álvarez still could not show himself in Atletico Madrid. I hope it will not take long for him to make the expected explosion. Because if players like Griezmann and Sorloth come into play, the possibility of him finding a chance to play will also decrease.

They have been experiencing a decline in performance since last season and this season it has gotten worse, losing 3 games in a row is their worst record and I am not sure they can get out of this situation. Based on the schedule, Valencia must face 2 other strong teams in the next match if they continue to lose then Valencia could be a candidate for relegation.

The quality of the players owned by Valencia is very inconsistent so that they lost points in the previous three matches and the team's performance looks so bad from the previous season until now.
If you want to get out of a situation like now Valencia must have some good players where the defense line must be a weak point that needs to be fixed.
The defeat to Barcelona in the opening match was not surprising because their quality was far from Barcelona, but the defeats against Celta Vigo and Atletic Club were unnatural and needed to be overhauled for the team.

The next three matches will be much more difficult because they will face teams that are much stronger and if they lose again then Valencia's position will drop further to the bottom of the standings.

Clément Lenglet the player of Barcelona didn't have much chance to play he was about to leave. Now it seems Atletico Madrid is interested in hiring this player and that's why Clément Lenglet is going to play for this team on loan.

The coach selected the squads he will be using and if  these players don't seem to be getting the chance to play most times it's  detrimental to their growth in the first place ... they have no choice but to be a better player they have to go out and play for other teams, they gain experience though but mostly they have no choice to advance their career.
Pablo tore is a good example after his first injury barca stopped using him and he's always on bench but after going on loan he's become even better, the thing is If the club sees the need for them then they could get them back to play else if the player feels like playing for the other club then he can show his performance and need to keep him.

Put yourself in the shoes of the player, would you rather sit and wait till you have the playing time that only God knows when in Barcelona or you would rather go to a different club so that you can have more playing time and improve? There are a lot of players who do not have the chance to show how good they are because there have already been an existing team mate occupying that position for the time being. Most of them end up losing the energy and quality while sitting on the bench.

In my opinion, this is Barca's choice to send him out on a loan, and as far as i know, there has not been any reports that said Clement Lenglet as been against the decision.If the player is comfortable with the idea then he should go who knows a better club might see his performance over there and buy him at a higher price.

In this match, Atletico Madrid dominated the game very well, but unfortunately until the second half whistle sounded, the Atletico Madrid players had not been able to score a goal so the match ended in a draw. It is very unfortunate that Atletico Madrid could not win the match in this match, even though I hope that in this match Atletico Madrid will be able to win the match. Because if you look at head to head and also in terms of player quality, it is clear that Atletico Madrid is superior. But unfortunately Atletico Madrid was unable to penetrate Espanyol's defense, So with this Atletico Madrid is in 4th place in Laliga with only collecting 5 points. Maybe Julian Alvarez, who plays as a striker at Atletico Madrid, doesn't have good chemistry with other players. Because of this, Atletico Madrid currently looks a little boring on its front line. Maybe if, for example, Julian Alvarez had chemistry and adapted well, Atletico Madrid's front line would definitely be much better than now. So for now Griezmann is the one who will always be relied on on Atletico Madrid's front lines. The reason is, he already has good chemistry with the Atletico Madrid players and also has very good quality. But even so, hopefully Julian Alvarez can quickly have good chemistry at Atletico Madrid and can show his best performance. Because Atletico Madrid has currently achieved 2 draws in its 3 matches in Laliga. And this is clearly not good for Atletico Madrid, if they continue to get draws like that.

Olmo was not there in the first half of the match anyway. He entered the game in place of Torres in the second half. He scored his goal after entering. Dani Olmo is a quality player and he looks like he will score a lot of goals in the Barcelona jersey this year. I think his quality will contribute a lot to Barcelona. He came on as a substitute and managed to turn the match in Barça's favor. He was also playing very well in the Spanish national team.
