It's up to them to maintain their position and win every match. Many factors could influence this, especially player injuries, which often occur after the international break. One such factor is Dean Huijsen , who just picked up an injury, now, Real Madrid will assess their center back. Thus, there are 5 Real Madrid players who are currently injured including Dean Huijsen, and 3 in his squad, again defenders.

So another Madrid defender is unavailable, Dean Huijsen is one of the young defenders who is performing great for Madrid at the moment, I don't know if Rudiger has recovered from his injury or not, if not this will affect Madrid journey in La Liga and UCL. Xabi has to think hard to keep his team consistent amidst the lack of defenders available, but luckily for them because Barcelona is also experiencing the same thing, especially Yamal's injury which may take quite a long time to heal 100%.

If we compare the bench of Barcelona and Real Madrid, then the bench of Real Madrid is really much better. I agree with this. Because Barcelona does not have such a player on the bench as Real Madrid has. But I do not think its good  that Barcelona is too dependent on Yamal. Apart from Yamal, Barcelona has many good players who can turn the situation of the match. Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Pedri, Fermín López are also a very important part whose contribution has a lot of effect.

I don't see Barcelona relying too much on Yamal, but the team relies more on all the players they currently have. And looking at the reserves, it's clear that Real Madrid's players are slightly better than Barcelona's, but when their coach can turn ordinary players into extraordinary ones, that will also be a plus for Barcelona. Real Madrid still needs to push their players to improve, and this applies not only to the starting lineup but also to the current reserves, as the players at both teams are not much different from what they had last season.

Barcelona has good number of players in the team not just Yamal but their performance doesn't seem to be good when Yamal is not available that's why it looks like they are depending on him but in Real Madrid they have more better players now their reserve is what i can not compare because when the first team is not doing well you don't see both coaches bringing players from the reserve team to the rescue they need to do better in that area not just rely on the first team players.

Maybe Barcelona only considers Yamal as a young player who can be relied on but that doesn't mean they depend on him. In fact, Barcelona is more dependent on Lewandowski who always makes a much bigger contribution.

Regarding the difference between Madrid's reserve players and Barcelona's, of course Madrid has better quality reserve players. Since last season, Madrid has retained several very talented young players as reserve players who are ready whenever they are used and in fact, even though they have several injured players, Madrid's performance is still the same.

Which means that Yamal injury is a big blow to Barcelona because is absence and all those passes with goal assist will be missing. Yamal is like the egine room, Barcelona should learn how to be independent without any special player so that they can be strong irrespective of the players on ground at that moment.

Yamal presence in the squad makes things easier, but overall Barcelona is not too dependent on Yamal, at least for now. Barcelona under Hansi Flick relies more on young players, some of whom have developed into starters. Real Madrid still doesn't fully trust the abilities of players from the Academy, they prefer to bring in established players to serve as cover for key players. I think, Barcelona young players (especially those from the academy) are luckier than Real Madrid young players, they get playing time more easily because the coach has full confidence in their abilities.

[Velvet78]

The next game for Barcelona is against Athletic Bilbao home. Hansi Flick will catch them in a really bad time period of them. You know how bad Athletic Bilbao have been recently.

There is an international break of course and there is no guarantee whether they will return with the same performance. For now we can only talk depending on the recent efforts.

Barcelona have a quite dominant history against them as well. 1.48 looks quite nice for their win...

I don't think Barcelona depend on Lewandoski more then they depend on Lamine Yamal, I don't believe that because the only thing Lewandoski does is to score goal and if there is no pass would he score? No. That is why Lamine Yamal is more relied on because he creates big chances, score and he also disorganises defenders, he is an exceptional player in Barcelona and most of the game he didn't play, Barcelona could not create big chances and don't get me wrong, Lewandoski is also good and they rely on him but not as much as they rely on Lamine Yamal because he's a great talent.

No team relies too much on one player, but if a player who has a big contribution is absent from defending the team, of course the impact will be seen, like Yamal for Barcelona now, we can see how big a contribution Yamal has given in every match, but that doesn't mean the Barcelona team can't do anything without Yamal, it's just that the strength of this team is slightly reduced and I see almost all teams like that.

Robert Lewandowski was a great player, a leader capable of pulling the team forward
Honestly, I've always liked him, as a player and also as a person, as a man, let's say.
It clearly can't last forever, he's getting older too but in my opinion he can still give a lot
he can be a teacher in Yamal for example

Barcelona is experiencing mixed performance of players between Lewandowski, Yamal, Raphina and Rashford. These four players has individually made contribution to the team but there absence is affecting the team each time one or two isn't around. If I'm Ansi I will make sure I know we're to properly fix each of these players when they are around and when some are absent, this is the best way he can tactically avoid this dependants of each players.

The way Barcelona is standing, they may look behind Real Madrid but if we are going to be honest Madrid looks like an elephant that is standing on a small branch of tree that will soon break down. Barcelona is well organized and looking promising to lift this trophy than them, nothing to see from them. The way they play looks like who are exhausted waiting for the rest of the game to end so they can take the trophy but as it is we are not even half away to the journey.

Yes you are right and I don't argue this but that was his time and back then he was actually a football guru when it comes to scoring and the rest of them and back then I don't think Yamal was not even dreaming of becoming a footballer if at all he has been given birth to lol 🤣. I like him too because he was my role model but one thing about age is that you can't run or says no when it will come so that's what is affecting him now, he's grown old and not as strong as before but one thing I like  most about him is that he doesn't joke with net and I also like Harry Kane they are both great strikers.

Maybe the absence of yamal does affects their confidence because yamal does play a vital role whenever has to do with finishing, so it is very possible they will have such a very good play but not have the finishing, yamal also does some.veey drastic play maker moves which is really particular to him and so his absence is one which will mean the absence of such. The advantage Madrid has over Barcelona is mostly in their reserves, they have really good players there than Barcelona does in their reserve squad.

Of course, unfortunately physical performance declines
but having a lot of experience, he can definitely help in the growth of Yamal
Old players are not useless, they still have some usefulness for 1-2 years, you just need to know how to use them well after all

Barcelona can always do well and everyone knows it but lately they are thinking too much about Yamal, who is fundamental, but they can make sure to rotate those players who are there and are strong, so they should concentrate more energy and focus on these players

[Fakhrulenclix]

The next game for Barcelona is against Athletic Bilbao home. Hansi Flick will catch them in a really bad time period of them. You know how bad Athletic Bilbao have been recently.

There is an international break of course and there is no guarantee whether they will return with the same performance. For now we can only talk depending on the recent efforts.

Barcelona have a quite dominant history against them as well. 1.48 looks quite nice for their win...  

Odds of 1.48 with a very high probability of winning are certainly worth betting on.

The international break does allow for anything to happen for a team, but I'm still very optimistic about Barcelona because they have great motivation to catch up on their rivals Real Madrid in the standings. Also, Athletic Bilbao's overall strength hasn't been that great this season, which makes me very confident that Barcelona can win this match.

Not that Barcelona are doing any better, if we want to be a little mean.
Even though it's a tough period, Barcelona are definitely the favorites, but given the latest developments in the Barcelona situation, i wouldn't take it for granted. Sorry to play devil's advocate.

According to the news I've read, Yamal will need at least two to three weeks of rest. However, there's no certainty as to whether he'll fully recover. And this injury is rare, so it raises questions.

Regarding his ability, I don't think anyone doubts it, although there will certainly be those who dislike him. This is even true of Ronaldo and Messi, whom some people even compare to. At such a young age, he managed to steal the spotlight with his extraordinary talent.

The absence of Yamal will clearly be a big loss for Barcelona, as Hansi Flick really needs him for the important upcoming matches, especially against Chelsea in the Champions League. According to Transfermarkt, Yamal is predicted to return only at the end of November, and he is currently suffering from a pubalgia injury.
I think the congested match schedule has increased the workload for every player, and as we can see, Yamal has always been relied upon at both club level and for the Spanish national team in every match.

Of course, this player's absence is a loss for Barcelona, ​​as he is a player who can make a difference in Barcelona game. So, with his absence, Hansi Flick must think hard and ensure that the player he appoints to replace him can perform well.

A team's tendency to rely on one player is a common occurrence. However, if the squad is strong, it won't have much of an impact. Barcelona's current problem is that several players are also not in the best physical condition.

I just hope Yamal's injury doesn't affect his performance when he returns.

[free-bit.co.in]

Which means that Yamal injury is a big blow to Barcelona because is absence and all those passes with goal assist will be missing. Yamal is like the egine room, Barcelona should learn how to be independent without any special player so that they can be strong irrespective of the players on ground at that moment.

Barcelona is not dependent on the performance of any particular player. If they were dependent on any particular player, the team would have fallen further down the points table. Raphinha has been out of the squad for a long time due to injury. Olmo and Lewandowski have missed several matches due to injury. Also, important players like pedri , gavi and garcia are also out of the squad due to injury. Since raphinha is also out of the squad due to injury, Yamal's injury is  likely to weaken barcelona's overall performance. These two are important  players in Barcelona's attack.

[Gaza13]

I would have said the game will be somehow strong for Barcelona because Athletic Bilbao use to be a strong team but they have not been performing well currently so I don't think it will be strong or difficult for Barcelona to get a win and secondly they are playing in Barcelona home ground that's another advantage for Barcelona but anything is possible though and you are right, Barcelona is already close to Real I think with 3-4 points gap and I'm sure they would not want to make the gap increase instead it should be decreasing as they approach. Real Madrid on the other hand doesn't look like they are ready to drop point so they will want to maintain the pace or even increase it so two things are involve.

Athletic Bilbao are no longer strong and play well as recent seasons but they are still not a weak team with ability to make dangerous attacks or counter attacks against Barcelona. They are a weaker team compares to Barcelona but if they choose proper tactics like counter attacks, defend their goalkeeper well and wait for right time during a match to suddenly boost their attacking intensity and speed, they can get points from Barcelona.

Athletic Bilbao are still not an opponent that are easily beaten so Barcelona must play very carefully with Athletic Bilbao if they don't want to drop points and get double bad consequences: falling farther behind Real Madrid and no longer have point difference against Atletico Madrid.

I think in the upcoming match against Barcelona, ​​Athletic Bilbao must be fully alert and wary of the fierce attacks launched or built by Barcelona. The reason is that Barcelona certainly wants to win the match later so that their points in the standings are maintained well, otherwise of course the opportunity for points in the standings will be further and wider with their toughest rival, Real Madrid. I'm not so sure about Athletic Bilbao performance in the next match, The reason is that they have experienced a setback in their last few matches and have been inconsistent in every match they have played. And this can also be exploited by Barcelona to take full points at home.
