Cadiz and Granada are teams that are currently both in the relegation zone and both are also quite close at the bottom of the rankings even though their points are very different. Because even if Granada is able to win at home to Cadiz, the Granada team will also not be able to save itself from the relegation zone considering that Granada's points are currently 14. Likewise, Cadiz will probably have difficulty getting out of the zone. Because currently Cadiz still has a five-point gap with Celta Vigo which is outside the zone.

Atletico Madrid will make the top 4 this season. They struggle sometimes but they will end up winning the games necessary for a top 4 finish. Atletico Madrid can be inconsistent sometimes, but they can also be serious when they want to. Take the Inter Milan game for example. Inter had every right to win that game but Atletico refused them.

As for the Champions League, I believe Atletico Madrid will knock out Dortmund, but I don't see them getting to the final. If they meet Barcelona, they won't knock out Barcelona. PSG will be relatively easier for them to knock out but I doubt they will be able to do that. This doesn't mean they don't have a shot at making the UCL final, but it's a very slim chance for them. For the remaining teams, Atletico and Dortmund have the smallest chance of making it to the final

Two teams that are in 18th and 19th positions in the standings will face in the 30th week match, Cadiz vs Granada, for Granada it is quite difficult for them to get out of the relegation zone, inversely proportional to Cadiz, who still have a chance to keep playing in the league next season because they are five points behind Celta Vigo but unfortunately Cadiz will only be able to get out of the relegation zone if they can win a lot of points in all the remaining matches this season and it's not an easy job even very difficult to achieve by a team that since the beginning of the season has been far from consistent, so the match might not run interesting because both teams will certainly go down the division, they just need to finish all the remaining matches this season, but Cadiz as a home team certainly does not want to disappoint their fans and it is also quite important to maintain the mentality of their players because the opponents they face should be able to beat considering the home factor will give Cadiz a little advantage.

Waiting for a week likes wait for a thousand years to pass the national week. I don't really like this national week caused by it was also very often in costing the club a lot. Glad to see that real madrid has no players who were injured in the international break.

Girona vs betis
Madrid vs bilbao

These matches are gonna he the most awaiting match for this week. It's obvious for me to bet on madrid and girona while barcelona is also facing palmas which is an easy club to beat. So, take all of big clubs will give us another easy week. Im sure that there will be no change in the next week's standing.
I consider that if madrid and girona back to the right track again.


I would rather bet on cadiz than granada. It's simply that if cadiz has consistent performance compared to the granada. Granada was rarely winning, but Cadiz could sometimes make the strong club struggle to bet it.

It's obvious the winner will be Cadiz, even if the game happens away from Cadiz.

The Cadiz v Granada match is the opening match for the 30th round of La Liga this time and yes, in fact Cadiz and Granada are both in the relegation zone. Also, even though, for example, Granada managed to beat Cadiz but still, there is no chance for Granada to avoid the relegation zone. Because after all, the pointsgap is still wide and also, considering the quality that Granada has, of course, even if Granada for example can beat Cadiz in this match, I sure that Granada willstill be relegated at the end of this season. Also, about Cadiz it is the same, because having a 5 point gap with Celta Vigo which is right above the relegation zone is clear, so it is stilldifficult for Cadiz to overtake Celta Vigo. So yes, I m sure that Cadiz, Granada and Almeria will be the teams that get relegated thisseason, because they not have a good chance of avoiding or getting out of the relegation zone.

Atletico Madrid have been consistently inconsistent with their results and performances since the start of the season and their reason for that is what I actually do not understand. Earlier this season, I was of the opinion that they'll be one of the strong contenders for the Spanish La Liga title because of how good they were playing but because of their results in recent games, they're not anymore one of the top teams that might win the Spanish La Liga title this season.
After their heroic performance against Inter Milan in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie, I was of the opinion that it'll help boost their morale as a team before they face Barcelona last two weekend. But my opinion was absolutely contrary to the result of that game because Barcelona defeated them in one of the most embarrassing fashions even when they were the home team. They lost the game and were unable to score a goal in such crucial game and are currently not in the top four of the league table. Now, they'll have to fight for a place in the top four of the league table or mix out from participating in the UEFA Champions League competition next season.

They can beat Borussia Dortmund. If they can win this two-game series, they will advance to the next round. If they have a chance in the top round, why can't they go further? Atletico had an unfortunate defeat against Barcelona in the league, but I remember they also played a solid game against Real. Simeone makes his team play better in Europe. That's why they can play better in UCL than in La Liga.

Xavi decision to accept the offer from Barcelona was because he felt that the club really provided a service to his career while he was still active as a player. Xavi was in a dilemma when he accepted the offer, on the one hand he had predicted that this would happen (being the first to be blamed when Barcelona performance was poor) due to the club financial shortcomings, on the other hand he did not want to disappoint the club that had made its name famous.

Financial support makes Xavi job easier, he can build new strengths by bringing in quality players. So far Barcelona is starting to find its best form, its position in the La Liga standings is slightly better than before, Xavi is also able to bring Barcelona through to the quarter-finals of the UCL. The improvement in performance experienced by Barcelona recently has made Laporta want Xavi to be at Barcelona at least until next year, but the decision must be made for the good of himself and the club.

Well finally this week we return to home leagues and no more shit national teams games, i dont know what to expect as always in the return of the games, because some teams suffer so much after an international break and other donts.

Cadiz Granada a relegation match, is the last oportunity for Granada to try to reach salvation.

Yes, the situation is quite difficult for Atletico and Simeone, we’ll see how they get out of it. By the way, despite the fact that I am skeptical about Atlético in La Liga, I had the courage to bet on them getting past Inter (before the second game when Atlético was already catching up), the odds were very good - 4.1 and it seriously strengthened my multi-bet.
By the way, I already miss the Champions League final in the form of the Real - Atlético derby. And the draw worked out so that it is quite possible 

Xavi is indeed a coach who is definitely suitable for Barcelona. But if he decides to leave Barcelona, ​​I think it is inevitable. Even though Xavi is a former Barcelona player, Xavi will definitely continue his coaching career wherever he is, even if not in Barcelona. So at the end of this season, Barcelona must definitely be ready for Xavi's departure from Barcelona. Maybe talking privately with Xavi can be done by Barcelona to keep Xavi. But I'm sure this won't easily change Xavi's mind. Because it seems that Xavi has really thought about his decision carefully. So if Barcelona persuades Xavi, I don't think it will produce satisfactory results. For this reason, it would be good for Barcelona to prepare a new coach to replace Xavi. Even though it is true, Barcelona players definitely need to adapt again. But I think this action is the best for Barcelona. In essence, there is no shortcut for Barcelona, ​​other than looking for a new coach as soon as possible, before next season starts.

Finally, I think Atletico Madrid has started to be inconsistent again. In the last match, they lost against Barcelona. And that is understandable in my opinion. Because Barcelona is actually a good opponent. So that is totally understandable but Atletico Madrid losing against Cadiz in the match previous to that is not understandable at all. At this stage of the competition, they really cannot afford to make mistakes like that. They still have a very good chance to finish in the top four. But they will have to win consistently. Otherwise, they will lose the fourth position to Athletic Club.

Well, they are actually losing the fourth position to Athletic Club because Athletic Club is currently in the 4th position. It is possible for Atletico Madrid to finish in the fourth position if they just be consistent. But that is certainly not an easy thing to ask for, is it?

Well, I don't think so, because Xavi wants and is willing to handle the former club that made his name. so, how could Xavi not know Barcelona's condition at that time before handling them. Xavi has chosen to become Barcelona coach, and it can be said that it wasn't too bad when Barcelona was under his tutelage. He has brought Barcelona back to win the La Liga trophy, even though this season it seems difficult for Barca to become top of the standings. At the very least, Xavi has enough support from club management in various ways. The problem is, both Xavi and Laporta know the situation and conditions of Barcelona.

To be honest, as a Barcelona fan I am not satisfied with my favorite team, even though they won a trophy last season. This season, Barcelona should be even stronger by bringing in several players. yeah, even though Barcelona's financial condition is not supporting it. however, the players Barcelona has are not too bad. On the contrary, Barcelona should be even stronger this season with the several names they have brought in. unfortunately, their performance was the opposite. several defenders underperformed, the front line had difficulty scoring goals. made worse by injuries to key players, including the main goalkeeper. Plus, the patterns and systems that Xavi implemented did not work effectively. yeah, that's about it from my personal point of view. As for the Paris Saint-Germain vs Barcelona battle, however, Barcelona has a chance to overthrow PSG. To be sure, we'll just have to wait for the Champions League quarter-final match to be held.

It would be a big mistake for Barcelona management to let Xavi leave Barcelona even though he is a great coach who can overcome every problem that exists in the team even though he only competes with free players from the transfer market, but in fact Barcelona can still be in the runner up position and overtake Girona position.
I'm not sure if Barcelona will get a coach who can manage Barcelona well while financial demands always put pressure on coaches who can't bring in the players they want.
IMO, what happened to Barcelona previously was just a normal decline in performance when several main players were injured and it was not Xavi fault so anyone would say that Barcelona management would be ridiculous if they let Xavi go if they didn't have the right replacement.

It is very rare for an experienced coach or great coach to accept an offer from a team that has financial problems like Barcelona because of course a new coach will think that he will have a big responsibility to overcome a team with players who only have average quality.
even though you can bring in a new coach, it will definitely be very difficult when you have to adapt with the Barcelona players to unite chemistry and develop new strategies to improve performance and if there is no progress for a long time, it will have an impact on Barcelona future.

I don't think Barcelona can take over real madrid positions anymore, because real madrid can't lose three matches straight to make Barcelona top them in the league table, if Real Madrid loses match now he will be against el clasico madrid will win or lose the match, because it's been a long time when Barcelona and Real Madrid meet and draw definitely one person most win the game, and I give Barcelona hope because last season madrid defeated barca in the camp no Since Xavi is regaining form, I believe he will not give Ancelotti much chance against him this time around. And Madrid will not too put effort on the match because they have serious match in the UCL against Manchester City, they won't try to risk there key players in the league anymore.

The latest news is that Joan Laporta is reportedly urging Xavi to reconsider his plans to leave Barcelona. It seems that conditions have changed enough to make Laporta and the club management realize the importance and how significant Xavi's influence is at Barcelona.

Even now, Laporta is actually still convincing Xavi to stay, but the pressure that Xavi is facing may be so great so far.

This is part of the explanation that Laporta said during the interview:
Source: Laporta about Xavi

It seems that Xavi prefers to focus on the match that Barcelona will face. Because of that, not only in La Liga but also their struggle is still in the Champions League, which in fact is very prestigious.

I agree with you that Xavi was in Barcelona at the wrong time, which in the end made him burdened by circumstances that were not friendly to him. I really appreciate what Xavi has shown with Barcelona since his arrival, he was even able to win the LA Liga title last season in a difficult situation for Barcelona. Finance is one of the supporting factors for a club, where if their financial condition is not good, it will affect the team's overall performance, but Xavi can cover this even though it is not that perfect.

You are also right that management is also in a difficult situation, but I prefer to blame them for what they are experiencing now. Regarding the demands and pressure they put on Xavi, it should not have happened so that Xavi felt disrespected. Because they also have to realize that they cannot provide everything that Xavi needs so far, even to bring in new players they have to consider it carefully and they are also looking for options where they only recruit players for free.

After Xavi announced his resignation, Barcelona appeared more relaxed without the excessive pressure they were under. It seems that this is a matter of the demands of the situation which forces Xavi to squeeze his mind in every match in order to achieve victory. When Xavi decides to resign as head coach next season, Xavi will have more freedom to take any risks. I see that his decision was very correct, and it has been proven that Barcelona has appeared more consistent so far. However, Xavi decision to leave is still a shame, because Barcelona management must look for a new successor as his replacement.

Barcelona club officials will certainly have difficulty finding a new coach in the future, especially if they target big names as new managers. Every new coach definitely demands changes to the depth of the squad, they have the desire to reshuffle the squad according to their wishes. This is of course very contradictory to the condition of Barcelona which is currently experiencing a financial crisis, in which I think Barcelona will have difficulty fulfilling the wishes of the new coach in the future. That's right, Barcelona should be grateful to have Xavi who is willing to manage a club that is in debt, willing to survive a crisis situation that is limiting its space to build a dream squad.

It is fitting for Barcelona management to thank Xavi for all the achievements he has achieved at this time with Barcelona, losing the opportunity to win trophies is certainly a painful thing for a team like Barcelona but of course their current condition has been much different compared to their previous heyday, ending the season in the top 4 is actually an extraordinary achievement for Barcelona who are currently in trouble finance.

In recent weeks, Barcelona's performance has indeed improved drastically, but even so Barcelona's chances of being able to catch Madrid and win La Liga are of course impossible for them, but at this time Barcelona's chances of winning the Champions League are of course wide open because they still continue to compete in the quarterfinals, facing PSG is of course a difficult job for Barcelona but with the mentality that Barcelona have, of course, is not impossible they can stop PSG's journey this season in the Champions League,, of course it is not impossible for them I think the Champions League trophy will be a sweet gift For Xavi and Barcelona farewel at the end of the season later.

That might be a decision that makes Xavi have to face a dilemma. It cannot be denied that Xavi grew up with Barcelona, so it is not surprising that Xavi feels he has a debt of gratitude to Barcelona, and coaching Barcelona may be a form of contribution and return of his gratitude to Barcelona.

I think Xavi knows very well, that he will only be able to make Barcelona even better if he gets full support (including financial support). So with Barcelona's current condition, Xavi is aware that the mission he is carrying out will be quite difficult to come true. If he insists on remaining coaching Barcelona, then it could be an obstacle to his coaching career. Although painful, decisions must still be made and in this case, Xavi decided to move forward.
