Both strikers have been together at Real Madrid for more than two seasons, yet they have not built the right partnership. More concerning is Mbappé's selfishness in some games. From my observation, Barcelona has the best attacking force in La Liga. I can attest to it by the number of goals they have scored this season. José Mourinho would have to figure out a way to build chemistry between his strikers.

Yes, I completely agree with you. If we look at Mbappe's past club performances, we can see that he has done the same thing in his past clubs. We saw it last season and we can see the same thing this season. I thought Mourinho would take the first step towards building a good relationship with the club since he joined, but so far we haven't seen any big steps and if this continues, we won't see anything good from Real Madrid. I hope Mourinho takes steps in this regard as soon as possible.

I don't know how you analyze things but I will say that I have seen some changes since Jose Mourinho arrived, it is not that I am blaming you or challenging you because everyone have their own opinion of viewing things, but as I'm concerned, I have seen a lot of changes with Real Madrid. Mbappé is still one of their best player and I am still expecting more from him, so we should not look down on him as the season hasn't gone far.

What make people start doubting Real Madrid performance was the match they lost to real betis, I keep saying that it was never the end, the season is just starting and no one can expect even that lost from them, real Madrid as improved in their performance because I have seen a lot of changes, positive changes from the entire players.

[Solodoski]

Despite having 2 best forward like Mbappé and Vinícius their chemistry on pitch isn't clicking.
Even with strong squad Real Madrid hasn't won trophy for quite some time.
If they finish this season empty handed as well, it is certain that Pérez will be desperate to overhaul the squad.

You know, they had even made massive €150 million offer to bring Álvarez over from Atlético.
It wouldn't be surprising if they pursued the signing of Dembélé for upcoming season.

I think the major problem with Real Madrid is too many superstar with individual play with no much team work, that's why they are having issues and finding it hard to win a trophy for two seasons now. They have got the player,  but they have not been able to work together as a team. I really don't think they will go trophyless this season, but I really don't see them as contenders for major trophies,  because they don't have the team work, not because they don't have good players. I also believe that if they go trophyless the board is definitely going to allow a lot of players go at the end of the season.

Unfortunately, having too many prima donnas in a dressing room has never led to great success. A team needs star players, but above all it needs players who keep the show on the road. With the right mix of players, you can achieve great results!
Take Ancelotti’s Milan, for example: very few prima donnas, a handful of star players and plenty of solid, reliable players – and they won everything

Just as you said everyone is entitled to his opinion and I believe this is your opinion and I respect it, but to me I haven't seen any changes since Jose Mourinho took over the season, to me the club is still as it has been in seasons past, but I'm still trusting the process, as I strongly believe Jose Mourinho will definitely make an impact on that team, the season is only started and they has had a lost, in the Spanish La Liga, but that's not a big deal to me, I still believe Real Madrid will lift a major trophy this season.

Jose Mourinho has not yet given any test that I can see Madrid winning the title. On the contrary, they are still losing to Real Betis, where last season when they faced Real Betis they drew the match with a score of 1-1, but this season they lost to Real Betis with a score of 1-0. They cannot win easily against strong opponents, when they faced Inter Milan, they also got the victory with great difficulty, on the contrary, I think Inter Milan's performance in that match was better, But now the thing to see is what they can do in the El Clasico match, I am excited about that match, and I don't think Madrid will be able to easily beat Barcelona, ​​because Barcelona is in a stronger form at the moment, which is much better than Madrid.

Yes. Madrid problem in the past two years was really like that because many players saw themselves as key players. Especially players with selfish characters like Vini and Mbappe, of course this isn't good if they're in a team because to achieve victory the team has to play with solid teamwork.

But that was back in the Xabi and Albeloa era. Nowadays, I don't see that happening anymore and I also see Mourinho successfully bringing down the players' egos. This is very noticeable in terms of gameplay and when executing schemes to score goals.

Out of 6 matches in all competitions Madrid has only suffered one loss against Betis. We can't immediately say that Madrid will have a hard time winning trophies this season. I mean, the season is still very long, whether in La Liga or the UCL and anything can happen. So the loss to Betis will be taken as a lesson to get good results in the upcoming matches by continuously improving. For me, Madrid still remains one of the teams that will compete for the UCL trophy this season.

But now the thing to see is what they can do in the El Clasico match, I am excited about that match, and I don't think Madrid will be able to easily beat Barcelona, ​​because Barcelona is in a stronger form at the moment, which is much better than Madrid.

I agree with that part.

After finally filling the historically weak part of the team (central defensive midfield) with Rodri, Barcelona basically has no weaknesses.

I think this season they should perform really well whilst main competitors like Man City and Real are still going through major structural changes

I also believe that if they go trophyless the board is definitely going to allow a lot of players go at the end of the season.

I think it's funny that the board is sacked like this at the end of every season. The Real Madrid board members want results very quickly. As a result, they sometimes make mistakes. They are always ready to change coaches, change players and more changes. It's become quite funny now. The same problem that Real Madrid had last season is the same problem this season. But the extent of it has decreased a bit. Jose Mourinho is mainly working more on the team performance of the players, which is what the current Real Madrid needs. But if Real Madrid cannot show any results this season, the board will decide on big changes again. Will the right results be achieved only through these changes? I think the Madrid board should be patient for a few more days. Patience and concentration bring good results.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I believe that Vinicius is a player with extraordinary talent but he thinks a little too much with his head off the pitch, for me booing him at the Bernabeu with so many absentees including suspended and injured doesn't help. Real Madrid is making a good team but they also have a new coach, we'll see what happens, winning against Inter who came from the Champions League final counts double even if it wasn't convincing, you just need to be patient because the results are coming.

What most people are doing right now is comparing Real Madrid to Barcelona, but you really can't compare them. Playing against Inter Milan is not the same as playing against a struggling Feyenoord. The competition levels aren't equal; the differences are huge.

This isn't to belittle Feyenoord, who are doing well, but they simply don't have the experience of an Inter side that has reached two Champions League finals recently. They have far more European pedigree. Even so, everyone knows Real Madrid didn't even play with all their stars available, yet they still managed to get the win.

[Btcdeybodi]

Polymarket prices odds of Arsenal winning higher than PSG's at the moment.

15% against 13% respectively.

Also PSG odds are on par with Real Madrid.

This could probably be because Arsenal needs the Champions League title more than any other team and not because they are the best among the Champions League teams. Arsenal was close to winning the Champions league last season but PSG denied them that opportunity so the reason why they are priced better than PSG is because they have a better squad now compared to last season and they have maintained a 100% winning form since the season started.

I think PSG should have been paired with Barcelona because I have the feeling that Barcelona will perform better than Real Madrid. We already saw how Real Madrid struggled against Inter Milan before they won their first UCL match, they didn't play like they are hungry for the UCL title.

I see it that Real Madrid is more interested in winning the La Liga even though they have fallen some points behind because if not that Kylian Mbappe wants to win the Champions League, Real Madrid wouldn't have been bothering themselves anymore because they already have 15 UCL titles which no team can get close to that number in the next 10 years.

I think this season they should perform really well whilst main competitors like Man City and Real are still going through major structural changes

The defenders (or some )  do go on holiday sometimes , that's when they start considering more than 2 goals. Specifically, Kounde contribute to conceeded goals in some games but he's irreplaceable, he move deep into the attacking area just like Balde (balde attacks more ), which also contributes more than just defending only .

Elclassico can be so unpredictable attimes , Both Realmadrid and Barca do take it serious like a game that decides who wins the trophy. Sure, Barca is even more complete than before but there're still enough  room for surprises

Real Madrid is a team that always manages to win at a certain point. Even when playing poorly, they have the potential to win in the final minutes. They may not have reached the Champions League final for a few years, but Real Madrid challenges the teams that have won the league or reached the final. They have a very high-quality squad, and we're talking about a team that has won the Champions League 15 times. This year, they need to be at their best to win the Champions League again.

[JiiBs]

But now the thing to see is what they can do in the El Clasico match, I am excited about that match, and I don't think Madrid will be able to easily beat Barcelona, ​​because Barcelona is in a stronger form at the moment, which is much better than Madrid.

Real Madrid last season made El-Classico fixtures look bad, they weren’t playing up to expectation on the El-Classico and Barcelona didn’t have much trouble winning or dominating the game. We certainly do hope that would change in this season but even that, it’s looking very unlikely as Barcelona has continued to show their presence in their fixtures while Real Madrid still struggles to get goals and wins.

I agree with that part.

After finally filling the historically weak part of the team (central defensive midfield) with Rodri, Barcelona basically has no weaknesses.

One might be tempted to say that and wouldn’t be wrong given how Barcelona have played and scored goals rather easily this season. I would like to watch them against some other giants in the league though before I could say, they haven’t got a weak spot to be exploited by other teams.

Despite their current squad, most people don't see Real Madrid as the favorite against Barcelona. If Real Madrid win against Barcelona, ​​some will even consider it a surprise victory. This is very interesting because Real Madrid has one of the best squads in the world, but Barcelona has raised the level so much that even Real Madrid seems like a weak team compared to them. I'm curious about the Champions League standings for both teams. Barcelona could be leading the league after 8 matches this season.

[m4r1o]

I really don't see the selfishness in this two attackers, both of them have been incredible in supporting the team, now Jose Mourinho have even gotten some much younger guys that are helping to improve the teams performance, if for any reason, what your saying is true, Jose Mourinho wouldn't even keep them in a guy for more than five minutes of play. The season has just started, Real Madrid are still building capacity, they haven't reached their full potentials yet, especially with the kind of players they have, they have been winning, so let's still watch and see if they will maintain such momentum. Barcelona are the defending champions, they should be more coordinated, so I'm not surprised with the result they have now.

I don't think that Jose Mourinho can revive the fortunes of Real Madrid, he are a coach who certainly knows what he are doing but i don't know if he are really capable of managing these players and this team, after a long time without winning anything people want to see him win with Real Madrid but i don't think this will happen, i hope i are wrong.

[Adbitco]

One of the mistakes I think most clubs make is thinking more attackers would solve their problem. Should Real Madrid be entertaining the same narrative, it would be a huge mistake as well. They’ve got some of the best team in the world and clearly some very good attackers but somehow, they still believe it’s not enough. The team doesn’t need Alvarez, when they’ve got the likes of Mbappe still giving the team his best and helping them to win games. They would just end up with another player that would prioritize his personal glory over team brilliance once more.

I think Alvarez bid was just a decoy and to complete an election promise of bidding, Real Madrid doesn't need a striker and I totally agree with you, I really don't know why Real madrid is more focused on attack instead of strengthening the midfield especially the DM position. I have always advocated here that Real Madrid's defense is shit, Mourinho has actually tried in bringing in few legs in the defensive position but there's no cohesion among them yet that's why concede goal in almost all the games they have played so far.

Of course you are wrong, you can see for yourself how much of pressure the Real Madrid attack have gotten, you can easily notice there has been changes. Before now, a lot of people were saying he was going to build the team that will be  packing the Bus 🚌, a lot of things were said that were not certain about the coming of Jose Mourinho, today the result is different. so let's just stay steadfast and observe what the results at the end of the season will look like, but with the way things are going, I'm sure they will certainly get a trophy, it is visible to the blind and audible to the death with the arrival of Jose Mourinho, that there is changes in the room.

[Alonso_]

I think the major problem with Real Madrid is too many superstar with individual play with no much team work, that's why they are having issues and finding it hard to win a trophy for two seasons now. They have got the player,  but they have not been able to work together as a team. I really don't think they will go trophyless this season, but I really don't see them as contenders for major trophies,  because they don't have the team work, not because they don't have good players. I also believe that if they go trophyless the board is definitely going to allow a lot of players go at the end of the season.

the problem is the players who feel like gods when that's not how the world works
Unfortunately, you have to be humble, which some people just can't do. They feel too strong and that's not good.
because there can always be someone stronger than you, always

Having too many stars in one team can be very difficult to achieve something big, when they’re not playing like a team, everyone wants to be scoring goals, now Vinicius Jr is struggling to score goals and he has seen it as a big problem for himself, because he wants to stay relevant in his football career, now it’ seems like Kylian Mbappe is the ultimate player, Mourinho sees Mbappe as the ultimate player in the team, he wasn’t supporting Vinicius Jr controversy with a certain player about racism when he was at Benfica, all of a sudden they’re now friends because he is coaching him, the sooner Real Madrid realizes they have to let either one of them leave the club the better for the team and dressing room, until then they can’t Challenge Barcelona.

[kennycryptoitalia]

I agree when you said Barcelona with the big change in their tactics and grinta of players, watching most of their matches, I must say they have achieved a great result with a lower cost team. But, when you mentioned Arsenal I feel a bit hesitant about it, we can agree that Premier League is different, especially few first matches will never give you the same picture as when we arrive to the mid season matches and standings, I have said the same thing about giving Arsenal much gratitude and at the end they just failed in everything.

Real Madrid is being the same team we have watched and enjoyed following with so many surprises even in their worst moments, they are just so unpredictable, so let’s see what and how they perform next.

the tactic that Barcelona puts on the pitch comes from the younger sectors where they already learn to do well and be careful to follow the patterns, it is essential to be exposed to this type of training at an early age, this is why Barcelona always does well, Real Madrid is much more technical but relies on players already trained outside.
