Calendar of FC Barcelona

The Real Madrid began the season launched to the attack with the arrival of Ancelotti, that gave a touch more than importance to Benzema, applied the meritocracia on the field and transformed to Vinicius in the player that expects from the day of his presentation in Santiago Bernabéu, stadium that raises in each career that leaves.

Goals, good game, headlines and acting enchufados, everything seems to go well for a team that suffers in front of Inter and Valencia, but wins, that enjoys with the Mallorca and also wins, that litigates the leadership with solvency and what more calls the attention, has a staff in theory feebler that the past season after the exit of Bouquets and Varane, pillars of the last years.

But the statistics always are here to be odiosas, generate comparisons and discover failures. It has them the team merengue by a lot of ecstasy that live in Valdebebas, because the arrival of Praises does not solve the defensive weakness that began to show the past campaign, in fact the Austrian contributes a lot in attack.

It does not defend badly, that do not confuse , no in vain has been one of the bases of a big Bayern Munich during a lot of years, but his presence is not a strategic and functional balsam for the team that follows having fractures in midfield with Casemiro still far of 100% of his performance, the left side shared between a youngster Miguel Gutiérrez and the variants that give Praise or Nacho in the sector. Marcelo little exists at present.

The right does not go in better way with a new injury of Carvajal, Lucas Vázquez very irregular and again, Nacho covering a gap that is not him natural. In this chain of details follows shooting a lot to the arch that of way magistral defends Courtois and that also the luck allows to see spotless.

The Mallorca, last rival of the Real Madrid, shot until 17 times in front of the whites and the puntería was not the main virtue, of the contrary had not been so been bulky the marker. This maximum repeats in each party and is Courtois the attendant that it go through under the table the figure, but the day that fail, could puncture the globe.

For the moment, explained the semaphores

The victory in front of the Inter allowed to surpass the first obstacle for the Real Madrid that went with the arch in zero, by what now, at least until eighth of Champions in case to classify, only remain Seville, Athletic of Madrid and Barcelona like the most complicated rivals and arguments to cause a failure in the team of Ancelotti.
