There is a bit more to say about Barcelona's performance when you want to compare last season with this season. If you only look at their performance in La Liga, then yes you are absolutely right. Barcelona had 73 points after 29 games and now they are at 64 points after 29 games. That is of course a significant difference and one major reason is that Barcelona barely managed to keep a clean sheet this season. Their defense has had problems again and again and last season I recall that they had countless of clean sheets and they were able to save those three points once they took the lead in a game.

But you can consider the Champions League and see that they are doing much better. While they didn't make it through the group stage last season, they are now competing with PSG for the semifinals. There is progress there, but definitely a few steps back in La Liga.

I think this possibility is close to impossible for Barcelona because their rivals are Real Madrid. If they had competed with Girona, they might have had a chance, but since the issue is the race with Real Madrid, I don't give much of a chance in this case. If nothing goes wrong, Real Madrid will win the championship without losing too many points in the remaining matches. Barcelona will continue in the race for second place.

It will be difficult for Barcelona to beat Real Madrid for this season's Bundesliga title. Real Madrid is leading Barcelona with 8 points in the La Liga table, and Real Madrid is still in form to win enough matches that will guide them to lift this season's La Liga title. Can Barcelona win their nine remaining matches in the league to have a chance to rival Real Madrid for the La Liga title?

There are 9 weeks left until the end of the league. Almeria made a big surprise in the last week, beating Las Palmas away and getting their first win in 29 weeks. I'm not sure they will have such brilliant wins from now on. They have 13 points and are at the bottom of the league. There will be a league survival race between Cadiz and Celta. I think Almeria and Granada will be relegated from the league.

I did believed that they would do even worse, but I think players realized that most of them were given a chance thanks to Xavi, and without Xavi they wouldn't get this chance. Imagine Koeman still being there, you think Cubarsi or Yamal or whoever else young would get these chances? Of course not, and yet they are getting that chance easily now.

This is why it's quite important for Xavi to stay, he could build a team of 11 La Masia players and he would still go for a title run, if not at least guaranteed to finish top four and go to UCL. Imagine Barcelona having that chance, they would be a lot better without a doubt. All those debts and all would be gone and that's the most important part, that should be remembered.

I am happy that we are finally coming back to the league games and continue the fun in the remaining season left for us to witness. The relegation match between Granada and Cardiz is a big match to follow up even though it is going to be played between two small teams. Their point differential is eight points with Cadiz leading at the top and Granada having one outstanding match to play. If the game ends I’m favour of Granada, they’ll be keeping their hope of getting out of the relegation zone alive since they’ll close up the gap between them and Cadiz while hoping to see Celta Vigo drop points to get closer to them as well. And a win for Cadiz will also be them trying to get out of that zone and reduce their point differential with Celta Vigo and also hoping for them to drop points also. A very decisive match for the relegation battle.


Atletico Madrid have for many years been making it to the Champions League competition by finishing in the top four of the table. This season won’t be any different as they’ve shown a great performance at the champions league game that lead to them evicting Inter Milan from the competition. Even after their recent lose to Barcelona, they still have the chance to finish in that top four as Atletico Bilbao won’t be an hinderance for them and they can easily replace them from that position soon.

In terms of comfort everything will not change because Madrid is really quite comfortable with its current position but that does not make the reason that they should relax in this case because 8 points although far away but when Madrid's performance changes then it could be overtaken by other clubs especially now that Barcelona is in a positive trend towards the end of the season so Madrid even though it is far superior but they must not let their guard down at all.

Facing Atletico with enough rest for Madrid even though some of the players still allow a little tired because of the match between countries but I think it can be anticipated well only now how Ancelotti can minimize so that the players are not too tired because after playing for their respective countries at this time Madrid is also still faced with La Liga and the Champions League which is getting closer in sight.

Xavi harmonious relationship with Barcelona made him willing to lead the club even though it was hit by a financial crisis. With his detailed understanding of the club, it made it easy for him to win the La Liga trophy in his first season. Things are not much different from last season, but Xavi has decided to step down as team manager, after a series of inconsistencies cost them the chance to retain the trophy.

One of Xavi biggest obstacles since taking charge of Barcelona has been financial, he has had to use the loan player option to be able to build a squad so that he can challenge Madrid dominance. Club officials should actually be more grateful in this regard, because not all coaches want to be under big demands, while on the one hand they are not given enough budget to build squad depth.

I agree that it is better for Xavi to leave, rather than all the setbacks that occur later making him the person to blame. On the other hand, Barcelona now has a chance to talk a lot in the Champions League, with the improvement in performance they have created. Even though Xavi fleet is not the favorite, who knows, Barcelona will be able to make a surprising appearance and reach the final round.

The odds that Athletic Bilbao have are indeed tempting in occupying the top 4 position but with odds that big it seems a little risky but there is no harm if you want to bet on Athletic Bilbao who knows if the prediction is correct because this season Athletic Bilbao has experienced quite a good increase so the opportunity to occupy the position The top 4 are still wide open compared to Atletico Madrid. It seems that Athletic Bilbao is more convincing because with the many schedules that Atletico Madrid faces, they will definitely have difficulty competing in Laliga simultaneously.

Atletico Madrid have not been very consistent this season, who knows what is wrong with them, so they are having difficulty even competing with teams like Girona, even mediocre teams like Girona have been able to provide impressive performances this season and compete with top teams, making it difficult for them, it would be very surprising if they In their next meeting, Atletico Madrid failed to beat Girona again, so Athletic Bilbao had the opportunity to widen the gap with Atletico Madrid.

I actually do not agree with the point that you made which is, Barcelona is not going to concentrate on La Liga too much.

That's because Barcelona has to concentrate on La Liga otherwise, Barcelona is going to give up the second position to other clubs. I'm sure Barcelona would like to finish in the second position. And with all the current controversy and rumors about the coach going on, I hope they are able to do so because if they drop points and go down the table right now, the coach is going to leave and the new coach that is going to come, is probably not going to do a better job. Remember I am not saying give up Champions League. I am saying they have to concentrate on both. But concentrating only Champions League might be detrimental for them because they might end up not doing well in both competitions.

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
