Classico can go either way as it's Classico. But I don't see this team winning anything this season.

Injuries aside Girona carved us open multiple times with ease.

Exactly. Girona carving us open and Sevilla. Those are very bad signs. It's way too easy for opponents to create great chances vs us.

In the second half of the season, nobody cares about your autumn form. You see it every season. Last most prominent example was PSG last season, losing absolutely everything in the CL group-stage to the point they had to win the last 3 games in a row to even reach the playoffs.
Nobody is winning titles in November yet. There is still more than enough time to find the form. Turning point is usually December - new year. That's when it has to "klick" within the team. That's also what happened to us under Enrique in 2015. Rumors even started some players, Messi included wanted to get rid of him, but in winter the team started to win and the result was the treble.

Flick has more or less 2 months to find it. To manage the injuries, to recover the important players, the physical form. In football, forms can change fast. There is no guarantee for it of course, but it's far too early to predict winning or not winning anything at this point.

Shade of 2023/24 season. Next Clasico might be the turning point whether or not this season will be another 23/24.

Agreed. A decline in focus and intensity, due mostly to a tired squad both mentally and physically after a long and tough previous season, with not enough solid options on the bench and nagging injuries to key players. And a more solid Madrid to cap it up. They ended up with well over 90 points in 2023-24 IIRC. Could be the same this season unfortunately. All the signs are there.

It's a massive challenge for Flick. And also a warning for us as fans to not see these players are ready made stars already.

ffs why won’t no one listen. Raphinha’s km’s covered is what is hugely missed.

Even if we had lost form, we would substantially be better with his workrate.

It is not enough to cover kms. Raphinha has to get back to his high end product numbers also. We badly lack a leader in this team to get us back, and Raphinha is the one that is most fit to do it. Not Pedri, not Yamal, not De Jong, not anyone else. He is the actual captain on this team.

We need the Raph from last season to bang them in, and a talk with Yamal to go back to his main creator role is needed. Take fewer shots, you are not good enough in the finishing department to be main scorer and main creator of the team.
