This proves if ramos is not completely useless for the club. His only goal has been saving sevilla to gather three points and this helps club to climb up to the 14th position to avoid the relegation zone. The decision to recruit him was not too bad, despite his old age, and Ramos still showed a huge contribution to the club.
It's awesome to see how his goal also helped his club to avoid the relegation zone. Twenty matches and three goals. It's good enough for defenders who were still able to contribute some goals to the club.

Yeah, and that's a very bad result. Getafe's position is going down since it was always losing three points. I'm willing to mention how bad Greenwood's performance was. Despite so many news articles about how good he was, I strongly believe he is an overrated player.
Since the middle of the season, Getafe's performance has been declining so much that it is now a toothless club. Literally, this match was quite hard to predict considering the fact that if both were equal.

I mean if we were not counting standing as a factor to determine how strong the club was

Of the 4 matches happening today in la liga, two have yielded result while 1 going on is predictable.
Cadiz won over Granada by 1 goal. Both of these teams are in relegation zone and among them, Granada and Almeria has no hopes while Cadiz is still in fight with Celta Vigo in order to not get relegated. Almeria and Osasuna match running at the moment has almeria already down by 2 goals and I don't see them recovering.
Another game between Getafe and Sevilla was a small surprise as Sevilla won it by 1 goal. But both of these teams are not going anywhere up or down.
Valencia vs Mallorca is the remaining game. And as it's on Valencia's home, they should have an easy win.

Xavi is too loyal to be Barcelona coach and because of that, I think it was the right decision for Xavi to resign. Because anyway, the financial crisis that Barcelona is going through is really having a bad impact on the management of the team and also the performance of the team. So yes, although there will be a transfer window that will open later but still, it is difficult for Barcelona to be able to build a team with great players in the upcoming transfer window. So yes, even if Xavi stays at Barcelona but if Barcelona financial situation is still bad then of course, it is difficult for Xavi to improve the quality of Barcelona and it will never be easy to make Barcelona strong again in the title race.

Xavi is Barcelona's best addition in years. The club was in ruins when he arrived - financial problems, no enthusiasm. He turned things around by signing Lewandowski and winning trophies. things takes talent and leadership. That metamorphosis wasnt luck.

Im nervous about his departure. With crucial players like Gavi out, not everyone can keep a good team playing well. Maybe the next guy doesnt have that touch. With Real Madrid constantly on your tail... It feels like having a successful recipe, but everything might change in an instant. Barcelona is in such position, which is bad for top-level football fans.

With the only goal scored by Ramos in the match against Getafe, Sevilla managed to steal 3 points from this away match and at the same time widened the distance from the relegation zone. The results were quite satisfactory even though there was a risk that Getafe could equalize or reverse the position. But it seems that after the quick goal scored by Ramos in the 5th minute, Sevilla's defense became even stronger and Getafe couldn't penetrate it at all during the 90 minutes.

On the other hand, this is the third defeat in the last 5 matches for Getafe and even though in the previous match they managed to win against Girona, there are times when things like this are beyond predictions. Actually, Getafe is quite favored to win but Sevilla comes with a mentality that makes it very difficult for them to beat them at home.

 So far this season, Real Madrid have been very much active and set towards the La Liga trophy goal. They've in many weeks played games and ensured good results that's gotten and kept them in the top spot of the league table. Even though a couple of times, their performances have been reducing in range, they've still being able to manage a win before the end of the game.

 Well, they still have the champions confidence and determination in them too, adding that their manager is very much experimental in his approach to their games. They're a good team and they sure do know how to fix up their errors. Well it's very much essential that they correct errors faster and avoid incidents that are drastic and costly to occur as the times left won't entertain mistakes because it'll only be irreparable.

 Their encounter against Sevilla well ended in a victory for them but they ought to have done better. Their performances in time past was enough evidence to show how capable they are for the game against Sevilla. Well, I don't know exactly who to blame though but I feel they're starting to take chances too. I think it only got scary and dangerous two games ago when they took on Vallecano and were left to a draw.

 Now one would think how such proactive team playing the host would succumb to a visiting team who are less performing than they are. Well that's the unpredictable nature of football. Sevilla themselves have all time being tough contenders in the league, giving big teams tough times too and it's understandable that they were able to ensure and cover up all the chances Madrid tried to make in the game. Well Madrid are a better team and they've got to show it on the pitch. We'll see how the next games would hold up for them.

When it comes to Xavi I must admit one thing especially. In his control the players started to show much better performances. I still remember that horrible time period with Koeman.    Barcelona were in serious pain back then. After Xavi came they even won a La Liga title but things aren't just going the way he would like now.

There have been serious defensive vulnerabilities and this is very likely to cost them the league title. I didn't expect Xavi to make such announcement this early honestly. I thought he would give it one more chance while the board were still believing in him. If he doesn't change his mind then I'm curious who their next manager will be.

It is very doubtful that Las Palmas will be able to overthrow Barcelona at Camp Nou, especially since they have not achieved maximum results in their last 5 matches without winning. This at least makes Xavi not too worried, even though his team will not field a full core of players. Several names of Barcelona players are absent for an undetermined period of time, but this competition is almost towards the end. One of the things that cannot be confirmed yet is Gavi, De Jong, Pedri, Balde and currently Christensen also seems to be absent. I don't know the information regarding Joao Cancelo, but he is not on the list of injured players. Likewise with Lewandowski, it seems he will be used in this match. For midfielders, there is IIkay Gundohan who can be relied on based on his experience and mentality. front line, no doubt.

The only problem is, can Lewandowski show his skills in this match. In defense, there are quite doubts, even though this is just speculation regarding the line-up prediction that Xavi will play. and it looks like there are two young defenders who will play. If so, hopefully they will be able to adapt well and show their talents. otherwise, Barcelona will be very weak on the left wing defense. but if we look at the H2H meetings between these two teams, Barcelona always dominates the victory over Las Palmas.
Looking at the betting options, Barcelona is far superior with odds @1.28, while Las Palmas is at @9.80. So, there is a quite obvious gap. What worries me in this match is regarding Barcelona's defense line, Xavi is suspected to be fielding several young players. Well, my estimate is that in this match there will be at least 3 goals scored.

Xavi has indeed succeeded in bringing change to Barcelona, ​​where when he first coached Barcelona, ​​Barcelona was in a financial crisis. But he was able to bring in quality players like Lewandowksi and also presented a trophy for Barcelona in his first season as Barcelona coach. But for various reasons he will choose to resign at the end of this season and of course this will be a big worry if the next coach is unable to show his skills in bringing Barcelona to become champions.

Xavi also still has the opportunity to bring Barcelona to become champions this season but with the caveat that he must bring Barcelona to victory in all the remaining matches this season. Indeed, if you look at the players, of course there are several players who are injured and one of them is Gavi, who has had to be absent for a long time. For this reason, Barcelona must be able to perform better if they want to be crowned champions and they must also hope that Real Madrid will lose points in the remaining matches this season.

This is a very good opportunity for Barcelona to win the match, their opponents have never won in the last 5 matches, it would be a shame if they had to fail in a fairly easy match like this. Compared to Barcelona, Las Palmas does not have any advantages and that makes Barcelona have to win this match, because if not it will be a very disappointing thing for them, especially since they will play as hosts in this match.
Who makes Las Palmas the favorite in this match? I don't think there is, therefore they must be able to take advantage of this opportunity very well to be able to add to their collection of points in the standings. But of course that doesn't mean they can underestimate Las Palmas, they have to keep playing as well as possible, because if they try to underestimate Las Palmas then it will bring something bad to them, because maybe Las Palmas will also be able to give them an unexpected surprise. .
In my opinion, a score of at least 2-0 will occur in this match.

Getafe vs Sevilla

Getafe StartXI: 3-4-3
David Soria; Djené; Omar Alderete; Gastón Álvarez; Juan Iglesias; Ilaix Moriba; Luis Milla; Yellu Santiago; Nemanja Maksimović; Mason Greenwood; Óscar Rodríguez

Sevilla StartXI: 5-3-2
Ørjan Nyland; Lucas Ocampos; Loïc Badé; Sergio Ramos; Kike Salas; Marcos Acuña; Boubakary Soumaré; Nemanja Gudelj; Óliver Torres; Isaac Romero; Youssef En-Nesyri

I think Barcelona can definitely beat Las Palmas in that match because the opponent is not a team that is difficult enough to beat, but still Barcelona should not underestimate Las Palmas even though they know that the team's performance is bad, on the other hand, Barcelona is in good performance, they should have the advantage of being the home team. Barcelona can do their best like other elite teams do when facing mediocre teams. Hopefully Barcelona can add to their points collection by beating Las Palmas so they can sit comfortably in 2nd position.

Agree with you. Maybe if it weren't for Xavi, Barcelona would be even worse. Luckily, Xavi came to their rescue and succeeded in bringing Barcelona to the LaLiga trophy last season despite the financial crisis. The problems currently facing Barcelona are so complete that blaming Xavi as the culprit for Barcelona's decline is an unwise action.

Because I see Xavi is a genius future coach and those who say Xavi has to go, they don't know his game. They only criticize things they don't even know about, when Xavi needs the best defensive midfielder he knows what he is talking about and this is just the start, barcelona just needs to bring in the players he wants and be patient in the process because what he is doing right now is not perfect . But now he has decided to leave Barcelona and this decision will not change even if Barcelona wins the UCL title. Xavi's decision to leave Barcelona is final and will not change.

If there was no Xavi, maybe Barcelona would have fallen even deeper. We can see that when Xavi first arrived, he handled the Barcelona team which was already in a very bad state with all the problems they were facing, but slowly Xavi built this team with adequate finances provided by the team management.

It sounds very strange if Xavi is blamed for the decline in Barcelona's performance this season, the team management must actually be responsible because they did not provide full support for Xavi to build this team.

At the end of the season Xavi has decided to leave the team and I think that will make Barcelona very difficult and I think with their new coach next season they will not have a large percentage to be better than this season, I am very pessimistic about that.

It seems like this is a common thing that happens to any footballer, it's not surprising that in the end salary reductions and financial problems made this statement come out from some people who didn't like Xavi's performance, it certainly wasn't an easy thing for Xavi to rebuild Barcelona after being away for a few years.  the best player, and getting a trophy last season was an extraordinary thing, of course the Barcelona management gives appreciation to him who is struggling with the current squad, they are able to compete in the Domestic League and European League, of course it is not easy to give that score to all the players  to continue to be consistent, I am sure that if Xavi is fired then Barcelona will sink again in the Domestic League and not even enter the Champions League zone.

Almeria is the worst team in La Liga this season, they can only collect 13 points from the 29 matches they play, that is a very bad statistic. I even think they are the first team to be relegated this season. Even though they were able to record their victory against Las Palmas, that still doesn't make them better in my opinion.

In this match they will face Osasuna, which statistically, Osasuna is better than Almeria, in fact the difference is quite striking. Even though they will appear as hosts, I have doubts about them. However, I also don't rule out their chance of winning this match, because no matter what, they still have a chance to beat Osasuna. We'll see whether they will be able to achieve their second win this season, or whether Osasuna will actually make their record of defeats even more this season. And maybe the two teams will draw in this match.

It's difficult to predict a match like this and to be honest, I'm not interested in betting on a match like this.

Correct. It is unfortunate that many people blame Xavi for Barcelona's decline this season or more precisely their failure to defend the La Liga title. because currently it is almost impossible for them to catch up on points from Real Madrid. However, Xavi still has the opportunity to win the UCL League trophy. Xavi will concentrate fully on this competition and of course will give his best for Barcelona this season before leaving Barcelona.

However, what is certain is that Barcelona's decline this season is not necessarily Xavi's fault. However, individual mistakes, player injuries and players who are not performing well like Lewa are also factors that have damaged this season. Barcelona should give Xavi another season with good players and fewer injuries, then see how he dominates. However, Xavi has made the decision to leave Barcelona, maybe that is the best choice for Xavi.

Real Madrid have not returned to their perfect form like when there was a football legend, Cristiano Ronaldo. The same thing also happened at Barcelona, ​​which has not yet found its glory again like when Lionel Messi was still there. It's just that Real Madrid's performance this season is much better than Real Madrid's performance last season. And on the contrary, Barcelona's performance this season has decreased and is not as good as last season. Well, everything always changes and cycles like this are a common thing. But I still salute Real Madrid and Barcelona who were both able to qualify for the UCL quarter-finals. Which indicates that the level of these two clubs is still one of the best in Europe. Real Madrid who will compete with Manchester City is also making everyone excited at the moment. Because everyone seems happier to see Real Madrid and Manchester City meet in the Final. But unfortunately they have to meet first.
And the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona this season seems to be starting to weaken. Because since last season these two teams have taken turns gaining the upper hand in Laliga. Last season, Barcelona was ranked first with a large difference in points. And this season Real Madrid is able to stand at the top with a large points difference. And this means that the competition for the title in Laliga always ends more quickly. This is different from the fight for the title in the Premier League which always heats up until the season ends. But in the past Barcelona and Real Madrid always competed fiercely until the end of the season but not in the last few seasons.

Cadiz has already gained 3 points in the match with Atletico Madrid and he can beat for example Girona or Barcelona, Real Madrid will probably be really difficult to beat, but maybe Cadiz can fight for a draw. At the very end of the season Cadiz opponent will be Sevilla and Almeria and I think just in these matches and decide the future of Cadiz. Mallorca and Getafe also look like teams that Cadiz can beat.

Celta's calendar is not much better, because there will still be opponents of the level of Betis and Atletico, which are sometimes more difficult to beat than Girona or Barcelona.
In general, the end of La Liga will be very interesting.

In the last 5 matches, Almeria has only suffered 1 defeat and it is clear that in terms of performance the Aalmeria team has improved a lot compared to the first half of this season, but unfortunately they are very far behind, now Almeria is a point away from Celta Vigo who is in 17th position ( safe from the relegation zone) by 14 points so with 10 remaining matches remaining, this very long point distance is very difficult to catch.

Almeria, who will play at home, certainly has much higher motivation and self-confidence to be able to win again against Osasuna this weekend. Of course it won't be easy, but with the positive results they achieved in their last match, of course this is something reference for the Almeria team.
