Opposite images! From Barça's comfortable victory to Real Madrid's eternal suffering

Although the football goes of results and no by the forms, this weekend has remained a reflection on how have won the FC Barcelona and the Real Madrid in his corresponding parties to the fifth day of LaLiga EA Sports 2023/2024. They were clashes more demanding of the account for coming of the stop of selections and because, in definite, the trainers had very little time to prepare to his teams. The difference has been overwhelming.

Whereas the ones of Xavi Hernández left a recital in the visit of the Real Betis to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Compannys and added a goleada exceptional with an absolute offensive power and good defensive answer, especially in the first-half, the Real Madrid credited to the suffering of always. The ones of Carlo Ancelotti signed his third traced back in what it goes of season and left a performance with more shadows that lights in front of a Real Sociedad that, especially in the first 45 minutes, minimised all the fortresses of the madridistas.

Barça and Madrid, in moments very different

They are forms very different to win the parties and has remained the feeling that both groups are in moments very different. The result and conclusion of the day is that the White House is leader with plenary of victories (15 of 15 possible points) and that the blaugrana follow his trail with thirteen units. However, in front of a calendar of parties so demanding, the forms begin to matter... It will hold the Madrid the rhythm to trace back in almost all his parties with a staff so 'short'?

The Barça does not have an extensive changing room, is clear, but has the positions bent except the pivote. Against the Betis saw several 'expensive' of the team and that, especially in the attack, Xavi Hernández has a big list of alternatives to add to the 'war'. It bet by the offensive trident of Joao Félix, Lewandowski and Ferran Torres. The three marked. Raphinha Was the relief and also saw goal. They were of grace and with a lot of offensive potential.

It is more than clear that the four do not go to annotate in all the parties, but yes that they are four alternatives to look for the goal, in addition to a Lamine Yamal that is being important, also. The tasks are delivered and the plan of the trainer egarense begins to take form, whereas in Chamartín are many the moments in which it reigns the uncertainty and do not visualise solutions... Because there is not depth of staff for this.

The Madrid remains without 'resources'... By fault of Ancelotti?

The Madrid, especially since Vinícius Jr is in the infirmary, has remained without offensive resources and suffers more than the account to be able to penetrate the rival goal. They go of 'chispazos' that, up to now, had been almost all of Jude Bellingham. It has signed a beginning of exceptional season and, probably, the best player of the White House up to now... But, of rest, are few the solutions that presents the staff. And no only because they have only four attackers in payroll.

Carlo Ancelotti is leaving the feeling that it can not (or wants to) explode all his resources. It has entrusted to the diamond in the centre of the field and the occasions of goal arrive him to account drops or, as against the Real Sociedad, finds the version more 'fallona' of his players. The problem is that it resists to change his idea or give opportunities to the rest of 'resources' that has available.

Without a lot of alternatives for Ancelotti

In Santiago Bernabéu called the attention how, after the goal of Joselu with which confirmed the traced back, was the forward the one who went out to give entrance to Camavinga. The Madrid happened to play with five midfield players and an only attacker. Precisely, Rodrygo Goes was especially desacertado in front of the Basques, but did not abandon the terrain of game until the 87'... To give him three minutes of action to Brahim Díaz.

The ex of the AC Milan, even in these conditions, left to Bellingham in a privileged position so that it commanded a powerful head butt that repelled Remiro, but remains clear that does not go in in the plan of rotation. Neither it does it Gonzalo that it remained without playing in the mini derbi against the Athletic and that heated during big part of the second half, neither much less Nico Paz that is tired to leave exhibitions in the filial, with included goals.
