Barcelona's narrow victory continues to open up Barcelona's opportunity to compete for La Liga champions with Real Madrid. They gained 3 points win against La Palmas. The points difference with Madrid is currently only 5 points but Madrid has 1 game more. In addition, there is an El Clasico match in April, if Barcelona wants to still have a chance of winning, of course they must win in El Clasico later. The remaining 8 matches are still enough to make the title competition more interesting. 

I don't know guys it seems that until now we don't find a relevant reason why Xavi left Barcelona if indeed the management and fans expect him to stay at this time, if saying fans expect Xavi to continue coaching Barcelona of course that is a realistic thing because after all fans do appreciate Xavi's hard work at the moment and fans realize it is not an easy thing for Xavi to build Barcelona with deteriorating finances as it is today,  But from a management point of course we don't know what they want because indeed only Xavi and the management know better in that regard, I think we can't blame the media at the moment because after all they are just doing their job and as a public figure of course the pressure from the media is not something that Xavi should care about at the moment,  But I heard that Xavi's decision to resign was because he felt exhausted in coaching Barcelona and hoped that there was another coach capable of making Barcelona even better.

From his words I interpret if Xavi is tired of facing the pressure of the current management to make Barcelona better, and compared to supporters and media is it not only the management that has the right to put pressure on the coach, besides that when Xavi says maybe a better coach, doesn't it indicate if maybe Xavi's achievements at Barcelona are not appreciated and it is possible that the management compares Xavi's achievements with other coaches.

Cadiz is one step better than Granada, but this victory does not ensure Cadiz's position from the relegation zone is safe because Cadiz is still close to the clubs in the relegation zone. Cadiz still need a lot of points to secure their position in the middle of the table because if they are careless in the remaining matches in the next match they will be wasted even though they have widened the gap in points with the bottom 2 of the standings because the difference in points with the 2 clubs below is quite far, even though there is no chance of overtaking them, but still the position is still not safe.

However, in the last 5 matches, Cadiz has experienced good improvement, he has only experienced 1 defeat, which means he has gained more points than he has lost, yes, even though a draw results in losing 2 important points, at least Cadiz has not lost all his points and still has the opportunity to overtake the clubs above him if able to consistently appear to win.

I don't know yet which 3rd club will be relegated because those clubs still have a chance of overtaking. We can only determine when there are 2 games left and look at the difference in points so we can see who will be relegated between the clubs you mentioned or it could be different clubs.
In the next match, Cadiz will face Barcelona. I am not sure that Cadiz will be able to beat this elite club. I think Cadiz will lose points again in this match.

Osasuna in the match against Almeria performed very well and the performance of Jose Arnaiz who was able to score a goal in the 2nd minute and A. Budimir in the 9th minute was very great, he scored a goal in the early minutes and this was extraordinary. Osasuna has managed to add 3 points and can finally move up to 9th place. However, Almeria has now failed in trying to get up from the relegation zone and it looks like this defeat will make it difficult for Almeria to get up from the relegation zone and honestly I predict Almeria will win against Osasuna because of their performance. During the last match against Las Palmas Almeria win, but now in reality Gaizka Garitano's troops failed to add points.

---

in their last match, Las Palmas failed to win against Almeria. Now in the match against Barcelona, ​​Las Palmas again had to swallow the bitter pill because they were defeated by Barcelona with a score of 1-0 and uniquely, against Almeria, the resulting score was 0-1 for Las Palmas' defeat.

Xavi's troops performed very well in that match because they controlled 70% of the ball, now the point gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid has reduced and this is good progress. However, it was a shame that Lewandowski and his friends did not score much, but Raphael was lucky to be able to score a goal and take advantage of the opportunity well.

Raphinha is lucky because he is still alive after this match! The referee in the game between Barcelona and Las Palmas used the card against the goalkeeper of La Palsam but this was not enough because one goal from Barcelona was rejected by the VAR and I think maybe Barcelona could even win this match if they were lucky in this game.
24 minutes after the start of this match, Álvaro Valles the goalkeeper of Las Palmas couldn't make Raphinha stop normally and that's why he was about to get this player injured hard.
Raphinha could get injured in this match and this could be a nightmare for Barcelona, this time even the VAR couldn't help Las Palmas, and the referee used a red card.

Xavi Hernandez's side are unbeaten in 11 matches since the coach said he would leave at the end of the season, while recent form has given them some slim hope of retaining the title.

In this match, Las Palmas proactively played a deep defense against Barcelona. This makes coach Xavi's team face many difficulties in implementing coordination pieces. In the 24th minute, Las Palmas played without players when goalkeeper Valles fouled Raphinha and received a red card. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Barcelona rushed to attack. Las Palmas tried hard to fight back, but Felix delicately released the ball so that Raphinha could escape and accurately head the ball into Las Palmas' net. This means 3 points belong to Barcelona with a hard-fought 1-0 victory. With a win over Las Palmas, Barcelona made a flying start to their Champions League quarter-final with Paris Saint-Germain, their subsequent encounter in 11 days. But I think with this strength, it will be difficult for them to defeat PSG.

Yea, it is a shame on Barcelona to finish the game with just one goal, even with shut one that their opponent had. However, as long as they are able to have 3 points, it is a good result.

I believe that they know what they are doing, and Xavi is only after securing three points no matter how the goal was scored and how many goals. He might be reserving the players for the champions league since he knows that he cannot win Laliga but might want to make sure that his players go far in the champions league.

Overall I am not too impressed with the Barcelona game and not surprised if they win because their opponents are Las Palmas and Barcelona playing at home so it's normal if Barcelona win. In my opinion, Barcelona should be able to score 3-4 goals because Las Palmas played with 10 players unfortunately Barcelona cannot take advantage of this opportunity. Yeah Barcelona managed to take the second place in the standings Barcelona is more deserved to get it than Girona.

I can't imagine how Barcelona will compete with Real Madrid next season when Real Madrid brings in young player like Mbappe, there is clearly no way to stop Real Madrid if Barcelona does not make changes in the upcoming transfer window.

It is not because I am a Madrid fan, but for me they have a better lineup, besides Ancelotti is a coach who has many things in mind, among them very good players who can make the difference, so when we think that Madrid can make the difference, yes, it is very possible for them to continue to maintain the lead, plus Madrid can give big surprises to everyone, I personally believe very much that Ancelotti will not lose this game, of course they should not slow down the pace because mathematically if they lose all the games it can complicate them, then it is better to make sure, besides, the level of Madrid now is very good and they have everything to do their best, because they are very motivated, although in the UCL they had perhaps the strongest team of all uqeu they have to face.

In these moemtnos Xavi is playing with everything because he knows this is his chance to do better and save a little bit, he can be in second, also something to recognize is that they were going very bad, and suddenly they are in second, so that's something I admire a lot because it is a team that does not give up and the truth I did not expect less, although it is the team that has more rival, it's great that they always have that response, that makes me think that things are improving and that they are playing with everything they have, there is nothing better than playing leaving your soul on the field, that is enough to continue giving good shows, if so they can give war in the UCL, which I find very interesting, I hope they continue to improve and reach their maximum so that when they face Madrid it will be with everything.

‘Insane’ – Las Palmas boss García Pimienta can’t believe quality of Barcelona pair

It is all good and they got their 3 points, reached their goal. But there was a talk whether Barcelona can make the title race exciting again and honestly this game was a big disappointment in my opinion. How is it possible that Barcelona against a team that is one man down only wins 1-0? This has nothing to do with a superb Barcelona team. It was a shame and the fact that Las Palmas managed to shoot 8 times during the game whereas Barcelona only had 11 shots in contrast, I think this is quite revealing about their condition. They won't win the Champions League and they won't win La Liga. They need a complete reset to grow big in the coming years again.

Barcelona vs Las Palmas:
Here we go, guys Barcelona have won the match and got 3 points to maintain 2nd place in the league table despite being just 5 points away from the top place, but unfortunately Real Madrid sre dominating the first place and aren't letting him take 1st place.
 
But anyway let's talk about match status. Barcelona have played so well that they are just dominating the game with their pretty good performance in the first half. R. Lawandoski also scoreed at the beginning of the first half but was disallowed due to offside and a lot of chances were missed by the Barcelona side. At last Raphina put the ball into the net at 59 minutes to secure three 3 and remain in second place in the league table. Now Barcelona will just focus on UEFA champions league matches against PSG. Let's see what will happen next at UCL: will they continue to win the match or not.
 
 Share your opinion with us.

Xavi probably still wants to try to make Barcelona good again and have lots of wins to be had. Until now, you saw that Barcelona managed to get a win against Las Palmas, and they managed to survive to secure their position in second place on the standings. Hopefully, in the next match, Barcelona can win again so that it will not undermine Xavi's credibility as Barcelona coach.

We should always bring on the disturbing size atleat we make things run smoothly. Carlo Ancelotti is with them and we know dangerous they can be when their targets is been limited. When they have Carlo Ancelotti by his side as assistance manager. Real Madrid are the #1 when it comes to performance, they maintain their lead and will continue to fight deeper due to the clothes. We just have keep supporting the appropriate team and gives ourselves relaxed moments. I'm not showing up but I do engage in the running profits.

Yes, in comparison, their opponents were Las Palmas, with only 10 players since the 24th minute. And Baecelona could only score 1 valid goal. That's not very satisfying. Of course, victory is still victory, but it should be. Barcelona can do more than this in this match.

Although it cannot be denied that there were several Barcelona players who remained quite significant during the match. So at least they still win. Like Rapinha, who contributed well and impressively this time.

Thinking that xavi hasn't done much enough for Barcelona would be undermining his efforts so far because I think he has done the best he could even with the situation of the team, he was still able to get them to win a trophy last season, he was also able to get them to qualify for several other elite leagues too which has helped them with some form of relevance this season too so he's done a whole lot actually.

I doubt if in the condition of Barcelona they will be able to get a coach in the quality of xavi and the resignation was actually the best option for him because it was becoming so much of a pressure on him meanwhile the management wasn't willing enough to do that which was needed and required of them to do so the tea. Will grow rather everything was blamed on their financial crisis which seem to never end because it's been almost two seasons now and they still have to battle with it such that it becomes a problem for them and affects their general productivity.

Barcelona has actually got a relatively good team they only needed a better atmosphere to strive a d not such filled with so much pressure where little is made available with expectations to making sure to achieve so much already from the little that has been made available to them . This is definitely going to affect the Players a d definitely reduce their chances of finishing well this season in the la Liga.

Seriously  I wasn't  expecting  such performance  compared to the previous  performance the spirit is somehow reducing  IMO while it suppose to be sharper.
I noticed alot from their game there's  no perfect composure and they tend to lose alot of chances almost all their chances , more chances were be created but were no way to be found  in the net. I think barca should focus more on the goal scorers they loose a lot of opportunities  ( lacking goal sense ) , even yamal the chance creator hits bar alot of times  more goals should be scored from this big chances  so xavi need to work on their goal skill. Today they managed to get on with the 1 to nil  hopefully this change against the upcoming  champions league fixes .

That's because Joan Gamper still wants Xavi to stay at Barcelona. He still hopes that the coach will not leave Barcelona, even though Xavi himself has said so. For this reason, for now, there are only a few rumors about the next coach of Barcelona. I'm also not sure, whoever it is, can perform better than Xavi, with his financial condition still like that. And the decision will still be in Xavi's hands, whether he will stay there or leave. Maybe in the future, the results from UCL can also be a consideration for him.

Of course.
It is not easy for a coach to do something like that, bringing Barcelona from decline to become what it is now. Moreover, currently, Barcelona still has problems with their finances. Even they plan to sell their top players to get more money. Isn't it true that if this happens, it will be quite a challenge for other trainers in the future, right? Meanwhile, of course, the demands from Barcelona and also the fans must be very big, whatever Barcelona's condition, they have to win. This will put more high pressure on anyone who coaches him without considering the bad conditions that exist at the club.

I didn't expect Barcelona to play a weak game against Las Palmas this night, but I think they already have an advantage in the match since they have given Las Palmas am very sure they will do anything possible to win the match, because they are already in the second position in the league they won't make any mistakes that will allow Girona to overtake them in the league table, I think because Barcelona have taught match to play in the Champions League again PSG that is why Let's see what happens in 90 minutes. if they draw against Las Palmas Real Madrid will get the advantage and give them big gap in the league table, because i believes real madrid will probably win there match tomorrow.

Only Barcelona fans really want Barcelona's performance to get better from season to season, while others want it to get worse. Xavi resigned at the end of the season not because Barcelona did not support his wishes, but he actually had other problems personally that may have nothing to do with management. One of the problems that is often said to be the high demands of the media which make him always under pressure, is what makes him uncomfortable being Barcelona coach in the long term.

Xavi has done his job well since he signed a contract with Barcelona, ​​he was even able to win the title when Barcelona did not have strong finances. I have to admit that's true, but people don't appreciate it but only bring it down even more.

Barcelona management wants to support him but they have no money to sign top players to build the team. Xavi may feel uncomfortable because he can do the best with Barcelona team. I think he already did the best, but he may not satisfied with his own work. I can understand this because Xavi was a part of most successful Barcelona team. So, he doesn't want to see Barcelona as a weak team which can't compete for the title. Recently, I heard the rumor that Barcelona management will try to negotiate with him to stay in Barcelona. We don't how the final decision of Xavi, let's wait for until the end of the season.

I don't think Barcelona management blames Xavi for the failure of Barcelona. They must be aware that it is also caused by the crisis financial, so Xavi couldn't find the ideal players that he wants. He can't build a team as expected. In this way, it makes sense that Barcelona can't win any title.
