Madrid must know a good way to face Bilbao later but on the other hand they must also realize that for now Bilbao is one of the clubs that always troubles the big clubs.
In several matches this season for Bilbao when they face big clubs, they can always win or at least draw so this needs to be considered by Madrid even though in their first match this season Madrid won.
Playing at the Bernabeu will definitely be very beneficial for Madrid now but they also must not let their guard down at all with Bilbao's strong defense and fast counter-attacks that are sometimes on points.

Madrid must be able to minimize this so that they can still be consistent and get an advantage in the matches they play because even though the gap with other clubs in the competition now is still very far but still they cannot let their guard down even a little now if they really want to secure the title quickly.

Madrid knows how to face its opponents, especially Bilbao, so in my personal opinion there will be no difficulties for Madrid when facing Bilbao, Madrid always dominates in every match, Ancelotti knows how to provide an effective strategy, when facing Osasuna who passed by, Madrid conceded enough goals. fast in the 7th minute but finally the score changed to 2-4 at the end of the match with Madrid winning.  The international break is nothing for the Madrid squad because the training they do is very consistent and disciplined.

How I see it, the game between Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao could end in a draw because Real Madrid has a difficult game against Manchester City, and Ancelotti will not risk his players against Bilbao in the league because they know they will easily win the La Liga trophy. If Madrid defeated Barcelona in the second leg of el clasico, I will definitely say real madrid have won the laliga already 100%. Athletico Bilbao are performing well this season and looking for a way to stay in the top four and get the opportunity to qualify to the Champions League next season, but I don't think they will be able to qualify because Athletico Madrid are performing well and if real madrid defeated Athletic Club Athletico madrid will get the chance and top them in the league table. let see who will get The privilege and qualify to next Champions league but in my opinion Athletico madrid will qualify except they don't have luck this time.

you may be right but do not disregard the fact that football can be funny sometimes and the way every team is looking to dent the record of Real Madrid, I feel they will have a difficult time. Real Madrid next game is to Atletico Bilbao and stats show that out of the 56 matches they've played, Madrid have the most winnings (38) and would be looking to make this one on the 31st of this month their 39th winning but from the looks of things I don't feel Bilbao will let such a thing happen. Another thing I've observed in football is that once a team knows another is gunning for the title, they will do their best to cause upsets and I'm keeping my fingers crossed because with how Madrid players are either injured or out serving suspension and coupled with the stress of the international break, I feel Los Blancos will find it hard pulling an easy win.
 

I don't think facing Girona this time will be really considered as a tough match because Barcelona unlike before seem to be gradually improving a d appears like they will have the form and strength much better to be able to tackle girona in this their second meeting this season, and this is actually a team thst before now Barcelona wouldn't at any point find it difficult really trying to win them in both meetings.

Girona got their confidence much stronger after they were able to make it to the top of the table this seems, after them they began to look like a top team in the league but then they have later been .Ade to know that they were only opportuned to taste what it feels like getting to the top of the table but it was never that they were going to stay at the top of they were good enough for the top so that was how they were later been displaced by real Madrid and now they can never think of getting to that point of the table again as they are already very far away from it except they get lucky which will actually be next season.

Barcelona facing Real Madrid I don't know what exactly it's going to look like this Tim because Barcelona is already on a very good recovery track now and that could mean that they will be a better contender than they have been before against Real Madrid so I think . Madrid shouldn't be expecting it will be as easy as it was the other time, most definitely they will have to put in their very best if they will win again.

Real Madrid's performance has been quite consistent so far and there is no significant pressure from other teams which makes them burdened at the top of the standings at the moment, so even though Barcelona is in top form now, it is very unlikely that the Barcelona team will be able to catch up and compete fiercely with Real Madrid. in the race for the La Liga title this season.

Mathematically, with 9 matches remaining and a difference of 8 points, it is still possible to catch up, but we also have to be realistic in looking at a team for what will happen in the future, with the strength and consistency that Real Madrid currently has, it is very unlikely that they will lose. many points in the remaining games of the season.

Barcelona seems to have lost their enthusiasm to fight for the title with Real Madrid this season considering that Real Madrid is 8 points ahead of them with 9 matches remaining. If Real Madrid loses 6 to 7 points in the next 6 matches, maybe the title race will be better, but Barcelona must appear consistent by winning all matches.

I don't think the things I mentioned above will happen in the remaining games of the season, so the title race seems to be over for them. However, mathematically, it is still possible for Barcelona to win the title as long as Real Madrid does not win the next few matches. However, Barcelona have some tough games that will probably see them drop points, so it's hard to expect Barcelona to be back in contention for the title right now.

If it was like last season, I would agree maybe. But this season Real Madrid has had an overhaul compared to last season and they got new players like Bellingham and Rodrygo is like an additional transfer as he is playing much better these days. I don't see how Real Madrid would lose balance and consistency such that they lose 3 out of their last 9 games while Barcelona literally wins every single game until the end of the season. It is doable, but it is unlikely.

Barcelona is closing up on Real Madrid in the table; is this something Carlo Ancelotti should be concerned about? There is more to getting to the top than winning matches against impoverished clubs. Real Madrid cannot go this far and risk damaging their chances of winning the La Liga title this season. It will be an enormous setback for them because they are looking for significant accomplishments and will not stop until their season goals are accomplished.

Currently, La Liga is complicated because even the favorite teams doesn't have consistent performance. Everything lies between Carlo Ancelotti and his outstanding players. They will ensure they have one of the tremendous moves after fluctuating in league matches, Real Madrid have to belt up in all tournaments they found themselves because the opponents doesn't seem friendly and they're also serving threats for Real Madrid.

You're right, anything is still possible but I don't think it will be a reality this season. Real Madrid have not dropped points in consecutive matches this season even though they have several injured players. Ancelotti has managed to get the most out of all his players even though sometimes they don't play in their natural positions, but the team's performance so far is good enough not to fail.

Fatigue, player injuries and the accumulation of yellow cards and red cards are disadvantages for any team. But I have no hesitation in saying that Real Madrid will not lose their place at the top of the table until they win it this season. Barcelona and Girona are no longer a threat with Real Madrid leading by a lot of points, so I'll ignore that worst-case scenario for now.

Is it possible, whether Barcelona have a winning streak and at the same time Real Madrid have a losing streak? Because anyway, it seems like only thatscenario that makes Real Madrid fail to get the trophy, only such a scenario willmake Barcelona able toovertake Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga standings. After all,ofcourse, Real Madrid also has goodquality and performance, so it seems very unlikely that this scenario willhappen. Forexample, Barcelona beat Real Madrid and made the gap to 5 points, but for the next match I sure that Real Madrid is also able to consistently win again in each match. If that happens, then Real Madrid will still be at the top of the table until the end of theseason.

This should be a lesson that in the end the problems they have must be resolved quickly but indeed Barcelona often delays it and indeed in the last few seasons Barcelona seems to be trying not to make movements for financial settlements even though their situation every season is not very good but they always make it seem as if this is not a problem.
Now their situation is even more dire than before where they have to make some changes with a complicated financial situation.

There are several options actually like selling Lewandowski to some countries whose transfer movements are beyond reason such as MLS and SPL which can indeed make at least a surplus of Barcelona's balance sheet and if it is possible some of their star players are also sold one and De Jong although still very useful is still possible to be used as a sacrifice to improve this but Barcelona seems to hold back because they do not want to lose their players.

For the match against Las Palmas next week I don't think it will be a problem because after all with the current conditions of course they are still very favorite to win but for the next 3 matches they play without Xavi because of the red card.

To be fair, Real could wait just one more year and they could get him for free, and if Alphonso Davies already have a verbal agreement that he will join, then Real actually has a better chance. They are just asking for one year of Davies and 50 million for only a single year of him is still a lot of money.

Bayern should not be looking for more and more, not saying that Davies doesn't deserve that, he deserves every penny, but if Bayern can't get him to extend his contract, then what's the point of asking for that much money? One year of Davies is very well worth 50 million, probably less, because it is just one year and we should probably not expect Real Madrid to be willing to pay more than that eventually so we should be fine.

I think you name it here. The chances for Barcelona to fully close that 8 points gap is tiny at maximum. But you know, for as long as it is mathematically possible, I think Barcelona's job is to believe in the impossible to perhaps become true. But as you said, even if Real Madrid plays a weak game and loses those 3 points and Barcelona makes it 5 points instead of 8 points, I would rather consider it a big warning for Real Madrid and they would pull the trigger and not allow for Barcelona to get any closer over the course of the next few games. Real Madrid often players with reserves in their hands. But if they have to, they can up their game significantly.

I think the point difference that has been formed now will be able to be maintained by Madrid until the end of the season. Not without reason, among the 9 remaining matches ahead, only Barcelona is their toughest opponent going forward. If Madrid loses points in the El Clasico match, they will still have a difference of 5 points and lead the standings. But Barcelona seems to be having difficulty beating Madrid, as will Madrid next potential opponents. The competition for the trophy this season is not yet over, however Ancelotti should be wary of the pressure put on by Barcelona in the remaining matches ahead.

Meanwhile, the competition for fourth place in the standings is more interesting in my opinion, besides the competition for the runner-up position between Barcelona and Girona. Bilbao and Atletico will compete fiercely to get a ticket to the Champions League, currently the two teams are only separated by 1 point. If Bilbao continue to consistently achieve full points in the future, then they will prevent Simeone squad from appearing in the Champions League next season, unless Atletico this season can become champions in that competition. I predict Atletico will be able to finish in the top four of the standings by overtaking Bilbao's position when the season ends

It’s hard for Barcelona’s fans to take it yet, I am also a fan of both teams performing the best gameplay you could ever watch in the world with quality players. However, Real Madrid is leading the standings now with 8 points away from Barcelona. Let’s say the next classico bewteen them won by Barcelona and reduced the gap to 5 points, do you believe and think that Real Madrid would lose the trophy after all the efforts they had this season.

I won’t say they isn’t even a tiny chance for Barcelona to take the lead in the 9 remaining matches, however the chances are almost impossible.

The match was indeed a turning point for Girona who were previously a team that looked unbeaten, but unfortunately they were unable to maintain their performance in the match and finally until now we do not see any signs of revival from Girona, their competition for the title this season I think has ended when they lost to Getafe the previous week,  And of course, by continuing to experience a decline in performance in the league, it would be very realistic for them to only maintain the top 4 position at this time compared to chasing the dream of winning La Liga.

Honestly, I see it will be very difficult for girona to rise only in the remaining 9 games, but of course the opportunity is still very open for them to rise later, so far from the 9 teams there may be only Barcelona and Atletico Madrid that look to make it difficult for them to get 3 points, but of course we also should not be optimistic if they will be able to win the other 7 games,  Because maybe Girona could repeat the mistakes they made before when losing to teams below them such as Getafe and Mallorca.

Barcelona are in a slightly better rhythm now. However, Barcelona is still in a weak position compared to Real Madrid. It will be very difficult for Barcelona to win against Real Madrid. But El Clasico is always competitive. But winning the away match against Madrid is challenging for Barcelona.

However, I feel that Barcelona are not competing for the La Liga title this season. Barcelona now aim to do well in the Champions League. This is Xavi's last season with Barcelona. He will definitely want to do well on the Champions League platform. Because even though Barcelona won the La Liga last season, they can't do well in the Champions League.

Barcelona has been given a genuine chance to finish in the second position. From here on if they are unable to, it is only going to be their fault and their fault only. Girona has given Barcelona a good chance. At one point it did not look like Barcelona would get anywhere near Girona. But through some bad performances of Girona, Barcelona was able to get ahead of them. Now Barcelona has a two-point advantage over them. Barcelona will have to be really consistent. Otherwise, it is only a 2-point advantage. And it is going to perish like nothing. Now I understand that Girona has been really inconsistent recently. But that does not negate the fact that they are literally breathing down the neck of Barcelona.

Now Barcelona is 8 points behind, I think it is very difficult for them to be able to compete with Real Madrid in the race for the title even though the two teams will meet in Week 32, but in terms of percentage Barcelona is not that big to be able to beat Real Madrid, in fact I think it will be Barcelona. will be further behind after that match.
It is realistic that Real Madrid's current strength is better than Barcelona.

In the remaining 9 matches there are still some difficult matches and realistically Barcelona can currently only compete with Girona in the race for 2nd place and that is more realistic than expecting Real Madrid to fall in several matches to be able to close the points gap, I think that is impossible .
