What Vini did wasn't right, but what the goalkeeper did wasn't right either, and what Bellingham did wasn't right either, but in view of things as they happened, in my personal opinion what Bellingham did at the end wasn't so bad, the goalkeeper provoked Vini, Vini reacted like that because of the adrenaline of the game, I understand him because I have a strong temperament too, and it's difficult when you're at that level and they do or say things to you that aren't at all nice (swearing). Bellingham, more controlled, gave the goalkeeper his due, but in general terms as a man that was good, but in terms of sport it wasn't good at all, that could have been avoided, however it didn't do them any good because Valencia lost.

In my opinion, Vinicius Jr seems easily get provoked from the opponent teams player for every match, not only provoked by Valencia goal keeper but also Vibicius Jr get difficult for controlling his emotion exactly on position difficult for scoring goals.
But have good news for Vinicius Jr due red card receiving at La Liga not allow at Supercoppa semifinal match against Real Mallorca todsy, he will play until the final match against Barcelona if can lead until the final phase.

Atletico Madrid still have 1 match that they have not played, that means they have a chance to return to the top of the standings, with the note that they must be able to win in the postponed match.

But seeing what they have shown lately, I am quite confident that they can get the win. Yes, this season they appear more promising, that is a very good capital for them to be able to compete for the title.

Today we have a pretty big match and don't miss it. Namely, today we will see the semi-final match of the Spanish Super Cup which will bring together Bilbao and Barcelona. Personally, I would probably choose Barcelona as my favorite team in this match. Because I think Barcelona deserves to be the favorite with their current performance.

What are your predictions about this match?

Barca won 0-2 against Athletic Bilbao, Offside trap is working again
Lamine Yamal and Gavi are on fire. I think Gavi is the perfect fit for Flick Ball, while he still requires some time to return to his full capacity, he is a crucial player for Barcelona. Additionally, his work rate will help reduce the defensive responsibilities placed on Lewandowski.
I hope Madrid wins against Mallorca so we can see the El Classico final.

One match is enough to conquer this journey, assuming Barcelona and Real Madrid loss their game, that means they will be 3 points below and when Atletico Madrid win their next match, they will give other teams an additional 4 points but now it is going to be just 2 points if they win the match and if they don't Real Madrid will be ahead and Barcelona will probably comes and pass them too.

But the Atletico Madrid are now hot cake in the table, I don't know how who is going to give big gap between them and Real Madrid but this season league will be taken between this two teams, they are the only team that has lost small amount of matche/matches.

There has always been that typical rivalry between Madrid and Atlético, but personally Atlético has never beaten Madrid. I remember a special final with this team when CR7 was there and Cholo witnessed how they lost, and that was historic. I don't know if you remember, but the truth is it was something epic. I think it was a UCL final, but in La Liga it's something else. Personally, I say that when it comes to doing things better in La Liga, Atlético grows, but even so, next to Madrid, I think they can't do much.

It's not the first time that some Valencia fans have been racist towards Vini JR, and it seems like it's not over yet. Yes, maybe they did it on purpose because they wanted to bring down Vini JR's mentality and performance. Basically, there are already rules regarding racism and it is strictly prohibited in the world of football. but there are still stupid people who are looking for trouble and do it.

People go out for football matches with an expectation that the football team they are supporting should be a symbol of unity and not racism. Every time one watches players to be subjected to such an inhuman treatment, it defeats the sop of the so cherished ethic of fair play. Such treatment cannot be justified and final decisive actions should be launched by all concerned actors. Each standing person on the stadium has a role in the fight against discrimination and for players, not against them. When we all unite to ensure such a sight, action and behaviour do not protrude in football related activities we shall go a long way in upholding the spirit of football as a sports that belongs to all people regardless the colour of the skin, the religion or the political belief any where in the world.

Strict sanctions should be imposed on those who do it. But sometimes even though there are certain rules, there are still fans who are provocateurs and continue to do it. Racism must be eliminated from all fields, especially in football, where in a club sometimes also consists of several people who come from different countries, skin types, religions, and so on. and we must respect all of that.

It would be fair for everyone when the whole world respects the differences without discrimination and especially racism. And even often we hear slogans in some top leagues, such as:
"No Room for Racism"

Because of that, Ancelotti said that it should not only be a card for Vini JR, but also for the goalkeeper so that everyone should also learn from it all. M=We also do not justify Vini's attitude, but sanctions must also be strict for players who make excessive provocations. For some reason, in some cases, Valencia has done this several times. Even though when they experienced a disaster, Real Madrid gave them quite a lot of help, but unfortunately, maybe it didn't affect some people because they felt they were only concerned with the club.

If that is very true, although things are Different because they were playing in Valencia, obviously the referee was not going to throw all those People on top of him , I think they would think all that, just like the VAR body , but even so they do not do justice as it is, that is why I have always said in Football the referees Always have their corruption on the surface, not only with Madrid, also in other Countries' games they are like that , so that Bothers a lot, because it seems that they have a force towards What they want to achieve and not what the sport gives.

Although Atletico never beats Real Madrid in their rivalry, it doesn't mean Atletico has no chance to win La Liga title this season. It may be only the history, it doesn't guarantee the future. I think Atletico has changed a bit, they are not really similar with their condition in the past. It is also the same as Real Madrid, they are no longer as strong as in the era of CR7 and Zidane. This season, La Liga competition looks more interesting because Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid are unstable in the performance.

Great performance by both, Barcelona and Real Madrid, in the Spanish Super Cup semi-finals hosted in Saudi Arabia.
Barcelona got a comfy 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao, scoring an early lead in 17th minute and increasing it in the 52nd. Two new players had their debuts, Wojciech Szczęsny and Toni Fernández.
Real did even better by winning 3-0 against Mallorca.
Both teams will meet in the final on Sunday evening. Bookies are seeing it as a 50/50 game, with a tiny advantage for Real. It should be an interesting one.

Nice games for Barcelona after winning 2 goals over Athletic Bilbao and its second games for new goal keeper recruitment Wojciech Szczęsny with achievement make clean sheet. Have been longer time for Barcelona egt difficulty make cleansheet every match when Pena become goal keeper but Hansi Flick giving opportunity for Wojciech Szczęsny in last two consecutives games in Copa del rey and supercopa match.
The final supercopa looks very interested because Madrid have ambition revenge after defeating by Barcelona in domestic league, will Madrid success winning the supercopa back to back?

If you are completely right about that, Madrid's strengths now are: Mbappé, Vinicius, Bellingham, I think that Cholo now has an incredible maturity on how to handle games against Madrid, he must have several strategies to Consolidate , however these games against Atletico are quite tough, for me they are as tough as when there is the classic against BARCELONA , it is exciting and clearly things will always be there with their rivalry Obviously I lean a lot towards Madrid , I like how Atletico is doing, but I bet on Madrid once again.

What I expect from Atletico Madrid is that they must be consistent in their game, because in recent times inconsistency has been the thing that has made it difficult for them to compete for the championship title.

Well, right now they are in a good phase, so they should be able to maintain that until the end of the season. Because if not, then they will decline again and will likely be left behind by Real Madrid and Barcelona.

One more fight before lifting the trophy on Sunday. This week, the winner takes all and I'm excited to see El Clasico in the final.
And yeah, It's time for revenge but El Classico is always difficult to predict. It’ll be a tougher game than most people expect.
I feel like the team in the best condition when the match starts will be the winner, and I hope this match will be one of the best El Clásicos we've seen yet.
