Barcelona drop their first points of the season in game 7 with a 0-0 away draw with Valencia as Real madrid take advantage to close the gap to one point with a 4-2 win over Valladolid.

Sevilla miss a golden opportunity to be only one point behind the leaders aswell with a 1-0 defeat to surprise package Deportivo who move into 4th courtesy of their win.

valencia had good chances to win that game

One thing I did notice in the table which I thought was odd...look at Racing Santander's record so far. Lost all three of their home games yet unbeaten in their 4 away games with a win and 3 draws. Very odd record.

Madrid are still a majorly unbalanced team

Team cohesion is impossible in that team, Pellegrini has pretty much said when they are on offence its a 4-2-4 formation which is ridiculous

With Barca, they have the perfect balance and destroy teams by closing down the ball constantly.

Also helps having Messi Iniesta and Xavi but you know...

Real Madrid's issue isn't formation, as you put it 'cohesion' is a bit more of an issue. Its the egos and the solo-football. Barca play as one unit. Real as components.

Hmmm, thats not what I've witnessed when I've watched them. I think formation is quite simple for them really, as it is for most. Its the roles, not positions, they play that are bothering them.

i see real won 2-0 with 10 men barcelona drew 1-1 pique scored an own goal in 90th min
