If Madrid loses for the second time to ATM in La Liga like in the first leg, then that will be very difficult to accept because Girona will have another chance to compete for the trophy. The competition for the top four in the standings will get tighter as the season progresses, ATM also wants to increase the number of points when they visit Santiago Bernabeu. On paper, Los Blancos are the favorites in this match, even though we know that several of their defensive players are still undergoing treatment, apart from that, Tchouameni is likely to be absent due to receiving a yellow card suspension.

Overall, I think this match will be fierce, both teams will definitely play aggressively considering the importance of 3 points. Ancelotti will try hard to experiment in determining the starting XI, as he did in the last Spanish Super Cup. Their rivalry this season is quite fierce because they beat each other in several competitions, but Madrid definitely wants to get their revenge in La Liga and don't want to be defeated in front of their own supporters. ATM actually has the expertise to be a stumbling block for Madrid, Simeone fleet has bargaining power to tackle Madrid who are trying to win the trophy this season.

Another loss by Girona last night. Honestly their performance was really inadequate. 0.40 xG in the whole game is really poor statistics. At least they managed to keep Real Sociedad at their level as well. But this two-point loss can cost Girona really a lot in the title competition with Real Madrid. Because there is a potential to see the gap reaching 4 points.

Real Madrid technically have one of the most challenging games of the season ahead today. They are playing against Atletico Madrid tonight. But as it is at Santiago Bernabeu Real Madrid are still in an advantageous situation. The head-to-heads between them so far have been really thrilling. I expect Real Madrid to have revenge on the result of the Copa del Rey game. 

After lots of bad criticism towards Xavi and now the coach is starting to show how skilled he is at managing players using only free players from the transfer market, Xavi is able to buy off all the bad criticism and I still have confidence that Barcelona will be runners up or even win the LaLiga title this season.
We will certainly admit how Xavi can intelligently rotate Barca players and produce strong performances even without high quality players, but Xavi is able to have the right strategy to bring this club to the best ranking and immediately overtake Girona.
The increase in performance and the point difference which has become very narrow puts intense pressure on Girona because they have to struggle to compete with these two popular clubs and it won't be long before Girona will be eliminated.

Since the start of the season until today I have always paid attention to Barcelona performance and I have always focused on Gundogan, even though he is not that strong, he always tries to make the best contribution in every match. In fact, I think that Gundogan is one of the Barca players who has much better consistency than even though there are other players, there is Lewandowski, but I prefer Gundogan playing style.

For Girona, this draw could be a difficult moment, because now Real can increase their lead to 4 points, of course, if they can beat Atletico today. In any case, it will not be easy for Girona to compete with Real, even if Real today cannot beat Atletico, and they by the way, are in very good shape. Sociedad, played very well, they did what they know how to do very well, they played well in defense and that was enough.

Real Sociedad is a strong team in La Liga and a draw is not bad for Girona. With only 6 points more than Barcelona, Girona will have to start to seriously defend their second position in La Liga. If they have like one or two more bad matches, they will feel more pressure from Barcelona and if they fall to a third position, they will face with bigger pressure to be kicked out of top four. Athletic Club and Athletico Madrid are very ready to take over a position in top four which is holding by Girona.

If Real Madrid win the Madrid derby match, they will expand the gap with Girona to 4 points and Girona will have to hope that Real Madrid get a loss from the Madrid derby.

Girona failed to get full points after being held to a 0-0 draw by Real Sociedad, this result certainly benefits Real Madrid indirectly in making expand the difference in points in the standings. The conditions are a little tough, because their opponents are Atletico, a derby match that is no less interesting than El Clasico. If successful, Madrid will lead the standings by 4 points, and this is the best opportunity that should be taken advantage of. If it fails, Atletico will move up to third place in the standings and displace Barcelona again. of course, Xavi hopes that Madrid can help beat Atletico so that Barcelona can comfortably be in third place.

Girona didn't want a draw and they could only share one point with Real Sociedad. The match was fairly even and both teams had the same number of goal attempts in statistics. Unfortunately we didn't see a single goal scored in this match and this was more of a pretty boring match. How is it possible that Girona, as the host, doesn't seem to have any more motivation to win, even though they know they have a difference of 2 points to overtake Real Madrid but didn't succeed in doing so in that match.

Real Sociedad has recently experienced a decline in performance and just expecting to win would be a mistake. They were able to hold Girona to a draw in an away match alone was an achievement and in the end they remained in 6th position in the standings. With this draw, it is clear that Real Madrid is the team that will benefit the most, but it is not as easy as they think because they have to go through a fierce match in today's Madrid derby against Atletico and the result cannot necessarily be predicted correctly. What is clear is that with the current squad, Real Madrid must win whatever they sacrifice and as hosts it can at least lighten their burden against Atletico.

The derby between Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid is really interesting to watched because during this season both teams has been met several times at different competitions and from the recent meeting Atletico Madrid can able to eleminate Real Madrid at Copa Del Rey and now in Laliga both teams have to fight again with Real Madrid as a host and after Girona get draw result from Sociedad i think Real Madrid had good opportunity to wided their gap points in standings league but it won't be easy because Atletico Madrid also in the good condition

Last week Real Madrid gets the winning result from Getafe and Joselu can made Brace on that match so this result can make Joselu is more confident to facing this match and about the outcomes of this derby i can see Real Madrid is the favourite but i didn't surprised about that because Atletico Madrid has poor records and always be failed to win at Santiago Bernabéu since 2019 and Atletico Madrid probably will still used the same formation just like last week when they can beat Rayo and Real Madrid has odds @1.72 this is actually good odds to bet and my prediction this match will be so tight but as a host Real Madrid has good chance to win this match

Yes, if you look at the strength, Girona's performance was quite good and they scored a goal, but unfortunately because it was offside, the referee didn't consider it a goal. but yes, Girona's games always provide surprises and the results are always unexpected and indeed Girona has now wasted a good opportunity and it seems that now Girona will have to accept that he does difficult become champion in Laliga. Now Madrid must be happy because Girona is not optimal in getting points.

In the Alaves match against Barcelona, ​​of course Barcelona was the favorite team because the quality of Barcelona and Alaves. was of courseBarcelona superior. Yes, actually, Barcelona is still lucky because Barcelona was able to beat Atletico Madrid in the standings competition and being in 3rd place is also a good achievement. Of course, there is still hope to become champions, but it seems like they have little potential to become Laliga champions. and of course Xavi will definitely continue to fight to make Barcelona return to being a strong team like last season.

Real Sociedad is a strong team and a draw is fair for both teams.
I won't overestimate Girona because that's how they should be and realistically their strength is not enough to be able to compete fiercely with Real Madrid.
I see that there is no team that has equal strength with Real Madrid to compete for the title, Girona is just a surprise team whose strength is far below Real Madrid so it is not surprising if they will be further behind in the race for the title.

Girona structurally poor when it comes to face a parking buss strategy like what sociedad win. Look at sociedad's strategy and i think you will know what i meant from there. The parking buss has made girona players were inability to get the ball from its opponents. This is also the main reason why did sociedad put defensive straetgy as its priority to prevent girona to take three points. Real sociedad has been well analizing its opponent before the match has started. So many times girona unable to win against the team who played defensively against it. Real madrid is having 1 match left compared to girona and the chance to make the gap even bigger is very big.

Real madrid is having atletico madrid as the next opponent and this is gonna be a very hard match that needs to be surpass by real madrid with the perfect result. There's no way for real madrid to win the la liga without winning the upcoming matches against atletico madrid and girona.
Madrid is in a very good shape right now. i think the upcoming match will not be hard games for real madrid. Getting 6 points from girona and atletico madrid is a must.

This is the only way for madrid to win the competition this season through beating the big clubs that have become the main competitors for real madrid. Madrid needs to make a lot of preparation for the upcoming games.
Im feling that if real madrid's opponents will be playing defensively.

A tough competition, none of these clubs will emerge as promising right now because they never know what they will encounter. Real Sociedad did not come here to be played; Girona was denied three points, and all hope is not lost. The Girona tie provided Real Madrid an additional opportunity to top the standings, and this time they will win by a few points over their main competitor. Real Madrid has become an uphill team, and they don't intend to slow down their efforts at all. I've look at the next fixtures for Real Madrid, they will be facing Atletico Madrid, a big game for Los Blancos and an important win it should be.

We cannot compare the strengths of Real Madrid and Girona, indeed they have very significant differences.
The draw against Real Sociedad at home was quite a shame and I was even quite surprised when no goals were scored in that match even though both teams were quite productive in scoring in their last few matches.

With Real Madrid's consistent performance at the moment, it is quite possible for them to continue their winning trend and widen the gap with Girona in the La Liga standings.

Real Madrid must take advantage of this situation because Girona has just achieved a draw with Real Sociedad and currently Real Madrid is at the top of the standings with 1 point ahead of Girona and still has 1 match remaining. In the remaining match, Real Madrid will face Atletico Madrid. If Real Madrid is able to win the match, the difference in points with Girona will be 4 points and this is a good opportunity for Real Madrid to continue to widen the gap with Girona.

The news that Rudiger was injured during the match against Getafe was indeed unpleasant news because several of Real Madrid's defenders were injured, and Carlo Ancelotti had to rack his brains to replace the central defender position, but it is not known how serious Rudiger's injury was because Ancelotti said It is hoped that Rudiger will recover quickly and take part in the derby match between Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid and because this is being held at Real Madrid headquarters, I think Real Madrid has a chance to win and get the full 3 points.

I agree with you on this, Girona should be able to win the match against Real Sociedad, because I saw that in this match Girona really dominated the game but he couldn't take advantage of it well. It is true that Real Sociedad's back line was very strong and Girona's attackers had difficulty scoring goals so this match ended in a draw. In my opinion, this draw is not a problem for Girona, because they are only 1 point behind Real Madrid. The next match is Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid. This match will determine whether Real Madrid will win against Atletico Madrid, but if they draw then their points will be the same as Girona. So, Girona still has the opportunity to return to first place in the standings but must be able to beat Real Madrid, because the next match will be against Real Madrid. However, I think it is very difficult for Girona to win this match, because Real Madrid has very good and quality players this season. So we'll see next week when the games start who will dominate this game and win it.

Real Madrid gets an opportunity to build the lead because Girona just made a draw and was unsuccessful in bagging three points at home. Even though it was not that terrible either because Real Sociedad is not a weak club by any means. But it also demonstrates that the strength of Girona is limited in comparison to Real Madrid.

The next two matches for both clubs are very important to them. Real Madrid has home benefits in its next matches but the last time it played with Atletico they lost at Civitas. Girona has the more difficult tasks ahead journeying for its matches at Real Madrid and Athletic Club.

That's what i wanted to see that. Girona will be declining start from here. There will be no strong girona anymore and the title will be owning by real madrid. My choice was right to pick double chance. I meant that if girona was not performing better in this game but sociedad was showing improvement.
Girona was very struggling to beat sociedad caused by it was using defensive strategy. Look at the strategy used by sociedad against girona. The club know how to play against girona. Giroan's weakness was playing against the defensive club and it has proven from the result from the game.
Even sociedad was also leading in the statistic compared to the girona. The clubs like barcelona and girona have the same weakness. Playing against parking bus club was the only main weakness from those clubs.
4-4-1-1 had proven that how girona was listening to the public and other club must repeat the strategy used by sociedad to get draw against girona. It will help madrid to win the competition even earlier.

Yes, unfortunately Girona couldn't win this match even though they played as hosts. This draw is enough to prove that Girona is not strong enough to compete with top teams like Real Madrid in the title race. I am sure that after their meeting, Real Madrid will win again over Girona and with that, Real Madrid can occupy the top with a fairly large point advantage Girona.

The match between Real and Atletico Madrid will take place tomorrow. I think Madrid will also win that match to continue to increase Madrid's points tally so that it will be increasingly difficult for Girona to catch Madrid.

Real Madrid has advantage with last night matches result after Girona hold draw by Real Sociedad 0-0, actually has opportunity for Real Madrid with 4 points remaining if can beat Atletico Madrid tonight. Have bad news with Antonio Rüdiger seems will absent in the derby match after getting injury on last match when Real Madrid defeating Getafe, I don't sure who will filled central defender position because current players left only Nacho as real center defender.
 
Real Madrid's center defender have injured Militao, David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger need several weeks later for recovering, seems the same with last match formation when Carlo Ancelotti moving down Aurélien Tchouaméni from holding midfielder become center defender without has any other option.

In today's match, Girona had to be satisfied with a draw against Real Sociedad. Even with this defeat, Girona will certainly have quite high tensions, because currently their arch rival Real Madrid could be further ahead of Girona this week. Apart from that, in this match Girona actually played quite well, even in the first half Girona often launched good attacks at the Sociedad goal mouth. But unfortunately none of these attacks resulted in a goal. Even though there were also goals, unfortunately the Girona players were in an offside position. And the same goes for Real Sociedad, in the first half they were often under pressure. But in the second half Real Sociedad recovered and were even able to score a goal against Girona. But the same as Girona, the goal was also disallowed because after looking at VAR, the Real Sociedad player was also in an offside position. So until the match is finished, the score is still in the balance, or 0-0.

It's a shame that Girona wasted this crucial opportunity. Because if they win the match against Real Sociedad, Girona will definitely have one step further to be at the top of the Laliga standings.


Then in another match, Barcelona managed to take home 3 points after beating Alaves with a score of 3-1. Yes, I think this is a mandatory win for Barcelona. Because in terms of player quality, Barcelona also appears to be superior to Alaves. So basically the possibility of Barcelona losing to Alaves, I think the possibility is very small. So with this victory, Barcelona is currently still in 3rd place in the standings. With 50 points and only has a difference of 6 points from Girona² and only has a difference of 7 points from Real Madrid¹. So if you look at the difference in points that Barcelona has with the top two teams in Laliga, it is also quite large. But even so, Barcelona still has hope of finishing at the top (even though the hope is small).
