Yes, to be honest, it's normal, the victory is according to predictions, that Barcelona should win and will win. And they really won. But yeah, that's fine. Because their performance is not that good. You're right, they missed a lot of opportunities to score more goals. Even though they only played against small club Las Palmas, who only had 10 players from the 24th minute. However, Barcelona was only able to score 1 goal, and that too in the second half by Rapinha. Meanwhile, Barcelona had 70% ball possession and around 14 shots. Isn't this quite annoying when every time they get close to the Las Palmas defense but fail again and again? That's quite[ annoying. But oh well, they won. It's just that Xavi has quite a lot of homework for that.

As I said before, it seems that Manchester City's performance is very different from last season. I feel that there are internal problems which ultimately result in the condition of the players on the field not making a maximum contribution or not following Ancelotti's directions well. Well, I also don't know for sure why it happened like this, what I hope is that Ancelloti must improve the relationship between the coach and the players so that when they are on the field they can contribute with all their strength again. Hopefully in the next match against Aston Villa they will be able to win and provide fresh air to their supporters again.

Barcelona and Girona have points on paper, but I don’t think they can in any way win the Laliga title ahead of Madrid because Real Madrid is in good form more than the two teams and I don’t think they will misuse this opportunity to win the Laliga title because they don’t know what will happen next season and they don’t also know if they can beat Manchester City to qualify to the next round of the Champions League.

Since the time Girona lost form, I knew that Barcelona will overtake them, therefore, in my opinion, Barcelona will be the runner up team this season.

I'm just hearing about this player now, but to be honest, Real Madrid won't need a striker by next season with the squad they're about to put together. Some of their forwards playing on the flanks must come in and strike at some point because they cannot have too many good players on the bench without using them and paying them a high salary each week. Based on what I've seen, they don't need a striker again; they can manage and fill the striking role with the squad they'll be using next season.

Yeah there is no way Almeria and Granada will bring themselves out of the relegation because the both teams has the lowest performance on this season league, imagine how many matches they have played but Granada only has 14 points while Almeria has 13 points which is nothing compare to every other clubs, perhaps that's why it will not be possible for the both teams to remove themselves from relegation and funny enough they both still have more difficult matches ahead of them which will even make things more difficult for them.

However Granada will be meeting Valencia on there next match and considering Granada performance it will be a free points for Valencia because I don't think Granada will stress them on that match. Almeria on the other hand will also meet Real Sociedad on there next match which will also be a free points for real Sociedad, so with the look of things Granada and Almeria does not even have any hope of wining any of there upcoming matches.

Real Madrid had a pretty easy match. Rodrygo played really well for Real Madrid. I believe that attacking of Real Madrid has improved. But still there needs to be a little more chemistry between the wingers and the striker. And I also have to say that the goalkeeper of Real Madrid, Lunin, did really well in that match. He made a very important save and his overall game has looked to be good. I think he has the potential to be a starting lineup goalkeeper for Real Madrid in the future. Anyway with this 3 points, Real Madrid makes sure that they stay on the first position of the table.

Decreased performance often occurs for big teams. Real Madrid's performance is similar to Manchester City. In the Real Madrid vs Manchester City match, my side is more towards Manchester City even though Manchester City's performance this season is not what its supporters expect.
Real Madrid ahead of the first leg of the quarter final at the Santiago Bernabeu received additional players because Militao was able to return to play.
I think this is a show of Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola's strategy and tactics to prove who is the best between the two.

They had Joselu, but she didn't put in the best performance. But at the moment Madrid's midfielders are very productive and they are helped by this condition. I think indeed if he had Benzema's replacement then they would be better.  But I recommend them to buy Serhou Guirassy, currently the transfer value is €40.00m (transfermarkt). His statistics are also very good. He made 23 goals in 21 games of the 23/24 season.

The bookies can never predict the outcome of all the matches right, and that is why it is called gamble, because you are predicting the outcome of the future. I am also seeing it from my side that Real Madrid would win Manchester city based on the reasons that you stated above.

City is not as strong as last season, amd it would be a problem for them, especially now that any player can score in the club. Real Madrid front liners are dangerous, and they can break into any strong defense within a minutes. If Walker would play, good for City, because Gundogan is not anymore in the club. Only Real Madrid have won the Champions League back to back.

I am not a supporter of these two teams, but I hope that both teams will put on a very interesting spectacle for us to enjoy as neutral supporters. regarding the discussion in this post, we will find out later when these two teams meet in the Champions League quarter-final match. referring to the statistics of these two teams, they both have differences. even though City are not very consistent, especially in their domestic league, in the Champions League they will appear different. I mean, it's not an easy thing for Madrid to beat City even though the match is being held at the Santiago Bernabeu. What is certain is that Don Carlo must prepare his team to overcome the tactics and strategies implemented by Pep Guardiola. because, it is possible that this match will be like the meeting in last season. However, this time City will not be strengthened by two of its core players, namely K Walker and the main goalkeeper. However, City is a tough team and they have the same supporting players that Pep Guardiola can rely on. If the match in the first leg ends in a draw, then there seems to be a chance for City to overthrow Madrid in the second leg at the Etihad Stadium. Moreover, referring to the temporary betting market, the two teams do not have a big difference regarding the available odds. which means, the two have the potential to overthrow each other because no one is a favorite. In essence, Madrid must get full points when they host City in the first leg at Santiago Bernabeu.

He does not mean that because Manchester City's league performance is poor, he will have an impact on them in the Champions League. You will see a club perform well in one competition but not in another. The Champions League is a large competition, and any club that makes it to the quarterfinals is not a weak club, and I believe Manchester City will perform well against Real Madrid; they will not play as well as they do in the league, If Manchester City players are complete against Arsenal match, I believe Manchester City will surely defeat Arsenal in the Etihad Stadium. I know before the first leg of the Champions League, Guadiola would do whatever necessary to make his players against Real Madrid.

I predict Real Madrid will beat Manchester City at home if they play the same roster that played against Arsenal last weekend because Vini jr will have the opportunity to dribble in the box and no strong defender will be able to stop him since there is no Walker in the match. Guadiola will try to bring Walker back early because I don't think they will get any defenders to stop Invi Jr on the pitch, and Walker suffers a lot when marking Vini Jr on the pitch. Let's see what Ancelotti will play this season against Guadiola if he can get is weak point this time.

Actually, in this match everyone expected Barcelona to win easily. And that's exactly what happened, right?
But if you ask me about Barca's performance, my issue with Barcelona is that they have missed a lot of chances.
Well,  I guess I have to give them credit for creating a lot of chances in the first place.
But the type of chances that they missed were actually unacceptable in my opinion.
They made 14 shoots where only 2 of them were on target, very shameful . .

Right now, they have to work on the finishing.
Yes you can say they played against a weak opponent and that's why they got away with these things, I can't deny that.
I know if they were playing against a bigger opponent, they wouldn't have actually been able to get away with missing such easy chances.
Whatever, in the end the score was 1 - 0 in favor of Barcelona  but by keeping 70% ball position I expected the goal difference should have been much bigger.

Yes indeed, because Cadiz and Celta Vigo only have a gap of 3 points, then at least there is still a chance for Cadiz to be able to compete strongly with Celta Viga to survive in La Liga. But anyway, their competition is really the result of having a point advantage because anyway, if they have the same points then of course Cadiz will still be below Celta Vigo position. Because afterall, atleast Celta Vigo has a higher total aggressiveness of goals compared to Cadiz. Therefore, if Cadiz wants to overtake Celta Vigo, Cadiz must really have a point advantage and cannot just rely on the same points, because Cadiz is still inferior to Celta Vigo. But anyway, even though the teams you mentioned that have a close points gap but still, Cadiz only has a chance to overtake Celta Vigo and Cadiz has no chance to overtake the other teams above it.

Madrid can almost certainly win the competition for the trophy, although mathematically Barcelona and Girona still have a chance. The only tough match that could trouble Los Blancos is against Barcelona, the rest I predict Ancelotti fleet can sweep the match clean by getting full points.

The runnerup position in the standings will be contested by Barcelona and Girona, where Barcelona chances are greater than Girona, because Xavi fleet is used to the heavy pressure before the season ends. However, Girona should be grateful, because they were able to finish in the top four of the standings and get a ticket to the Champions League next season.

On the other hand, competition in the degradation zone will also be tight, where Cadiz, Granada and Almeria have the potential to be degradation to Segunda Division. Among the three teams, only Cadiz has the opportunity to get out of the red zone, because of the difference in points with the teams above them not that wide. Meanwhile, Almeria is the team that has the worst luck, because in the 30 matches they have played they have only been able to achieve 1 win.

You are right, Manchester City's performance this season is not as great as last season, especially in big matches. I saw them differently against Liverpool, also different against Arsenal. Manchester City failed to win both matches, while they had weaknesses in defense due to injuries to several players. If Ancelotti is able to understand Manchester City's weaknesses, then I believe Real Madrid will not be as ridiculous as last season in the quarter-finals this season.

I don't understand why Manchester City's probability is better than Real Madrid's in the first leg. Manchester City should not be stronger than Real Madrid this season, so I don't agree with the probabilities at all. Real Madrid is the favorite in the home game in my opinion, but somehow it is different in the eyes of the bookies.

Alexander Sørloth gave a good hope early in the second half but it seemed that Atletico did not want to let go of this match and they wanted 3 points and the result in the crucial minute Saul again gave them the advantage and 3 points were obtained in this match.

I think it's a good result because that's what they need to do anyway and get a win for the rest of the season given the situation is still unfavourable for them.
With this victory they managed to get a good thing because Bilbao had to surrender from Madrid and it could be maximised well for them so that the top 4 positions were again obtained even though it was still not too safe because their points margin could still be overtaken by Bilbao if in the end their performance did not go well in the remaining matches to be carried out considering the end of the season sometimes always provides a crucial momentum that sometimes cannot be suppressed.

We all know that two teams are not avoiding relegation in this season and they are Granada and  Almeria. I don't think it is going to matter too much what they do from now on, we all know that they will not be able to win the matches that they have left. Actually there is no way they will be able to gain so much point that they will be clear from the relegation zone. However there is a chance for Cadiz to avoid relegation,  I think if they can perform a little more consistently, they can get ahead of Celta Vigo.  And I would actually like to see them avoiding relegation and staying in la Liga. if they start performing better, all the teams from the 13th position to the 17th position are going to be in trouble because the point difference is not a lot.

Although that real Madrid performance is far from their last season performance, honestly, the real Madrid performance this season is very admirable. They start the season with so good performance. And up until today, they still put in efforts and hold on to their consistency since they were able to claim the top standing with almost 75 points, which gives everyone hope that Real Madrid is going to dominate the La Liga trophy this season. But to me, Real Madrid have higher points in the top standing that doesn't give them hope that they can qualify to all around and advance to the final stage, because currently Barcelona and Girona are also in good form, and I'm having hope for them that they can also do better and catch up  Real Madrid from the top of the table.
To be honest, if they should bring up the tough clubs this season. I think Manchester City and Real Madrid should finish first, they are just in the difference league, but their performances have improved compared to their last season performing.

Yes, that's right and Bilbao still have a chance to overtake Atletico Madrid and finish in the top four until the end of the season, their difference of only two points will not make Atletico Madrid feel safe and comfortable because if they make even the slightest mistake it will give Bilbao the opportunity to overtake them in the rankings. fourth position, I know that Atletico Madrid is also focusing on the UCL and maintaining the performance of their players so they must be fit to face Dortmund next week.

I think it is difficult for Atletico Madrid to maintain the performance of their players and also rotate players so that they remain in good condition so that they can focus on maintaining their position so that they can finish in the top four at the end of the season and also be able to qualify for the important rounds of the UCL, at least into the semi-finals. final and beat Dortmund, Simeone will of course work hard to bring Atletico Madrid into the race for the UCL title this season even though of course it is very complicated but Atletico Madrid have that chance because in the domestic league they have no hope of winning the Laliga title this season either, I think Atletico Madrid must be able to get good results this season.

Last goal-blindsight

This was a good match for Atletico Madrid. They have played well. But I have to point out one thing. The goalkeeper of Villarreal performed really well in this match in my opinion. If he did not make so many really good saves I think Atletico Madrid could have scored a lot more goals in this match. And the last goal that Atletico Madrid scored, i think the goalkeeper of Villarreal was actually blindsighted. He did not see the ball early otherwise he should have been able to save it. Although he jumped from the corner side it was out of control

With this win Atletico Madrid stays in the 4th position, 2 points clear of Athletic club. And Villarreal is in the 10th position. Villarreal were playing well prior to this match. i hope they will be able to perform better in upcoming matches
