Well, that at least made the league title chase a bit more fun. Sure Real is still at the top but it also means that we are seeing Girona not that far away. I hope that I am not crazy when I say that I would love to see Girona win, not because I support Girona, and not because I dislike Madrid nor Barcelona, that's not the point.

What I believe I like is the fact that I prefer to have something that would be a lot more fun when a new team wins, that could be Girona, that could be Villareal, or could be Alaves, I really do not care about the winner team. When a league gets a new winner, that always sounds great. Like Leicester winning premier league, that was a real story and even movies about it were made, that was real fun period.

But the results were out of control because it was in the final minutes that Atletico managed to equalize the score which made Madrid have to be willing to share points in yesterday's match.
This is not in accordance with my expectations but indeed we must be aware that Atletico also have a good game in this match.
Honestly, for the goal scored in the last minute, there were actually some unexpected situations which Madrid should have anticipated, but with the momentum created by Atletico and with increasingly broken concentration, it became difficult to maintain the advantage.
I lost my bet at the end and it was disappointing but these things do happen because in a big derby game like this, anything is possible.

It was a nervous game here and there by Real Madrid and the one goal lead wasn't enough for them to take that game home. Sure Atletico Madrid is not to be underestimated and they have the quality to score a goal anytime, but Real Madrid had a great chance here to improve their lead and to have a less demanding game against Girona. But still the game will take place in Bernabeu although I am sure that Girona has closely watched the game against Atletico Madrid and they know that Real Madrid can be vulnerable at times. There is certainly a chance for Girona to win that highlight game.

Conceding in the final minutes of a match is always a very painful thing for any team and Real Madrid must accept this fact after failing to maintain their existing lead. Real Madrid are very attacking and often miss opportunities due to wide finishing, so the interceptions made by Atletico's defenders are also very good. In fact, if yesterday Real Madrid had led by 2 goals, it is possible that Arda Guler would have had a turn as a substitute in the second half, but again the situation was not conducive to giving him playing minutes. Usually Real Madrid can carry out loan options like that for their players and I think it is still too soon for Arda Guler to be loaned to another club.

Real Madrid failed to win against Athletico Madrid to have a good chance of leading Girona with a 4-point difference at the top of the La Liga table this season. Real Madrid's result against Athletico Madrid yesterday night has allowed Girona to be close to Real Madrid in the La Liga table. If Real Madrid fails to beat Girona in their next match in the league, it will be hard for Real Madrid to win the La Liga title this season.

This is so embarrassing that real Madrid couldn't get the chance to get threew points against Atlatico Madrid. I didn't watch the match due to some work busyness, but when I watched the match status I was so perplexed by the performance of real Madrid because they have a good squad and line up against Atlatico Madrid, but they couldn't hold up the lead until Atlatico Madrid did the striker and equalize the match in the dying minutes. 
 
I didn't understand why Real Madrid don't have confidence against Atlético Madrid. Although they have good players in defense, they always show some weakness against them. But anyway it's good to see the draw, but I didn't expect from Real Madrid that they would win or draw. Both clubs have shared two points, a real Madrid is still at the top of the table.

Instead of worrying about Arda Guller, why didn't you realize that Ancelotti actually benched Vinicius until the end of the match. I saw Vinicius warming up on the sidelines during the second half, but Ancelotti seemed to have changed plans and ultimately didn't play Vinicius until the end of the match.

Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz couldn't really have a big impact on Real Madrid's attack, Belingham also couldn't do much. In the end Rodrygo, Bellingham and Brahim Diaz were replaced by other players, but that didn't make a difference. However, Real Madrid have better statistics in terms of their game even though they lost 1 shot on target to Atletico Madrid. In the end, 1-1 is a fair result for the derby match, but Real Madrid is also not in a dangerous position if they can beat Girona in the next match.

Real Madrid won their first match against Girona. They didn't just win, they crushed Girona in the match. Girona will be more ready in this match and the players know each other better now. I think Real Madrid, who had to get 1 point against Atletico, will go into this match with extra motivation and manage to further increase the point difference with Girona. Also, if we talk about Barcelona, ​​Barcelona can catch them. At least if Girona loses, if they win, their chances for second place will be even higher. That's why I think Barcelona will also follow this match.

Real Madrid's match yesterday was actually worse than expected. They created many offensive positions throughout the match, but they could not show enough care in the final shots. Brahim Diaz scored a goal in the early minutes, but when he conceded a goal in the extra time of the match, all of Real Madrid's plans were turned upside down. Arda Güler is still not given enough time, I think it might be best for him to go to another team on loan.

No matter how far Barcelona have returned I don't think they are still going to meet up with Girona and Real Madrid especially Girona, because they are currently on fire, though Girona have dropped points and Madrid is at the top of league table, however Girona have six point difference with Barcelona and two point different with Real Madrid.
I still doubt if Barcelona will be able to maneuver their way above Girona at the moment, maybe they will have to maintain that third position till the end of the season, that's if atletico Madrid doesn't give them a good fight.
So they will have to give good consistency in their next games to maintain that position and to also go above it, which I see Barcelona not having at the moment.

I think last night's draw was very fair, you can see how chaotic Madrid's back line was. That leaves only Nacho who is a pure defender, but his performance is not typical of a Real Madrid player.
The real proof is next week's match between Real Madrid and Girona, this will determine the points gap if Madrid manages to win. And Madrid must win to secure the opportunity to become king of La Liga.

Girona are still trying to grab the top spot in the table. But will it be too difficult for Madrid to win this match? Real Madrid won the away match 3-0. They showed great dominance in the field of Girona. Girona did not score a single goal in the match. Now the possibility that Madrid will lose against Girona in the home match seems very unlikely to me. The Madrid team drew the match against Atletico Madrid in the last match. Now it is very important for them to beat the Girona team. If they win this match, it will be easy for Madrid to win the title this season. Because now Madrid's main opponent for the title is Girona team.

The game showed clearly that Real Madrid needs a natural striker. They have indeed been scoring goals and winning games but they would have gotten a better result if they got a real number nine. Sadly Girona failed to close the game after getting one point against Real Sociedad. I wanted Girona to put more pressure on Real but the draw was a sad one after all the performance. Girona will also have themselves to blame because they were wasteful all through the game after failing to maximize some of the chances they had. The winner of the La Liga is still open to all the teams in the top four. Hopefully, Girona might be the new champions so that they can make history.

For me, it is definitely going to be surprising if I actually see Girona win against Real Madrid. I am not saying that they are unable to do that. But I think Real Madrid is the better team in this match. Real Madrid will try their best to win this match because if they lose this one, it will cause them unnecessary headaches later on.

Of course that Champions League match is going to be at the back of the mind of Real Madrid. But I don't think that is going to be a big enough issue for Real Madrid to actually lose the match against Girona.

Yes, I understand the atmosphere of derby matches every season. I am disappointed with this result but also grateful that Real Madrid did not lose, that is the last priority that must still be maintained.

The next match cannot be taken lightly. Real Madrid took their turn against their closest title challenger this season. Girona cannot be underestimated at all even though they do not have good experience in terms of winning the title, but Real Madrid must be careful because Girona could have a negative impact on their winning record this season. Defeating and lose points is disappointing, so I don't expect Real Madrid to repeat the same mistakes against Girona at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Aren't you surprised that Girona has only lost a single match in this season while Barcelona is suffering from how to make it to the top, they are points behind Girona and that's to tell you that anything is possible in football. Atletico Madrid aren't small team, they are among the top 4 in th Laliga tree and they fought hard to win but Real Madrid defense wasn't solid yesterday. Didn't know what come over Real Madrid players but look at Atletico Midfield, 5 players in a row and none gave Real Madrid forward a breathing space.

I'm just happy that Girona didn't win as well yesterday, they also draw else Real Madrid and Girona will be on the same line and that would be a shame if Girona win this title while Barcelona and Real Madrid struggle. I don't even know how Girona is having these easily, they beat teams that Real Madrid and Barcelona couldn't beat and nothing spectacular about their playing style.

It really will at least depend on next week's game. Real Madrid vs Girona is a match that is highly anticipated because after all this is a match that determines who will be in first place after this match. Real Madrid, however, is still the superior squad, both in terms of the composition of the players and their experience. but we know very well that one of Real Madrid's weaknesses this season is things that are quite surprising, which sometimes really don't match expectations in risky times like this. The mental war also occurred here for Real Madrid after the disappointing result in the last match against Atletico Madrid yesterday. So, in the upcoming match, it will be quite stressful for Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Girona, in this case, could play carefree so they only need to focus on trying optimally.

That's what makes the derby match so interesting with a pretty exciting match atmosphere. The results of the match were quite tense and in the end Atletico Madrid was able to steal points at the Santiago Bernabeu. But even though they only got one point, Real Madrid is still a strong candidate to win the title this season because Girona does not have a strong enough mentality to become a serious challenger.

Anything can still happen to the points obtained or the standings above, indeed now Real Madrid is 2 points ahead of its closest opponent Girona. The Real Madrid vs Girona match will probably be a deciding match to maintain their point difference. If Girona loses, of course Real Madrid will get 3 more points, and the point difference will widen even further and if this match, Real Madrid loses or draws, which is more profitable. is Barcelona. And if Barcelona succeeds in winning next Sunday's match, of course the point distance will be closer to the competitors above them.

If Real Madrid secures a victory, their lead will become more formidable, posing a challenge for other teams to dislodge them from the top spot. The match promises to be a pivotal moment in the season, determining the trajectory of both teams in the league standings, The upcoming match between Girona and Real Madrid does indeed carry significant weight, especially considering the potential shift in the points table. Real Madrid's current lead gives them a chance to solidify their position, making it a crucial fixture for both teams.


The inconsistency in the performance of Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano makes predicting the outcome a difficult task. It's a wise decision to refrain from betting on this match, considering the uncertainties surrounding both teams. Hopefully, the match turns out to be an exciting and unpredictable contest, It sounds like you've had a tough time with Sevilla's performance this season, and it's completely understandable that you want to avoid further losses. Betting on unpredictable matches can indeed be risky, especially when both teams are facing similar challenges.


The repercussions could indeed extend to their ranking and potentially affect their Champions League performance. It's a reminder of the unpredictability of football and how each match plays a significant role in the overall season. Here's hoping for a rebound and better outcomes in the upcoming fixtures for Real Madrid, It's understandable that a disappointing performance from Real Madrid can leave a lasting impact. Matches against seemingly smaller clubs can be challenging, and the tough time they faced over the weekend might raise concerns about their La Liga position.
