Thriller: ZIDANE

Madrid was bad in Palma from start to finish. Vulnerable back, transparent in the middle and inefficient above. He even lacked attitude, rebellion in the face of defeat. But there is a hard problem justifiable. Template making. There are four pure midfielders in a team that is still often available in 4-3-3. Isco and James are rather hooks with the lead. Zidane dispensed with Ceballos and Llorente in the summer and did not count on Kovacic, who was returning from the assignment at Chelsea and could have been useful. There is less talk about him than the first two. And, obsessed with Pogba , he ignored other options to reinforce that line. Incomprehensibly, no one arrived. It was not so difficult to imagine that Kroos and Modric could be injured at the same time and that Casemiro and Valverde would get tired of an international break after their transoceanic journeys. And there are no sanctions yet.

Approved: PABLO MACHÍN

A little over a year ago, on October 8, 2018, Pablo Machín's Sevilla led the championship and Villarreal tried to amend his bad league start distracted by the Europa League. Espanyol - in a very similar situation - premiered Machín on his bench on Sunday just before the 'yellow submarine', which this year emits very different sensations. The Soriano coach could not reverse the poor dynamics of Espanyol results. And yet, the image that the team gave was radically opposite . With its indisputable commitment to 3-5-2, the team was better placed on the grass. He had chances to get at least the draw but, above all, he returned to compete. To look like a live team.

Notable: BUNDESLIGA

Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have won only four of the eight games they have played in their local championship this season. Nine points each have been left in just two months. Between that and the good level shown by Gladbach, Wolfsburg, Leipzig, Schalke, Freiburg, Eintracht or Leverkusen we are enjoying the most even Bundesliga of the last decades. Nine teams at two points in front of the table. More emotion impossible.

Outstanding: ANGEL

A whole horse race between First and Second. Tenerife, Elche, Levante, Éibar, Zaragoza ... and the general recognition is over thirty in Getafe. Mata and Molina have gradually displaced him from the ownership and Ángel Rodríguez has kept the dangerous revulsive label for Bordalás. And the truth is that it agitates the games as soon as it jumps to the field. But it also brings its energy, mobility and instinct when it starts. He has seven goals in his last seven games between Liga and Europa League. A substitute of luxury that perhaps would be holder in more than half of First teams.
