If it still cannot be determined who will be the winner, then that is not true because currently the difference in points in the standings between Barcelona and Real Madrid is very far, and it feels like Barcelona will not be able to catch up on the points they are left behind. Barcelona's performance is no longer very good. Even last night's match against Barcelona had to lose badly against Villarrel, who should have been an easy team to beat for Barcelona. With this defeat, I see that there is no longer any hope in Barcelona.

I have said this before, and I'm going to mention it here again, that Xavi does not have that capacity to be able to deliver Barcelona, not because he doesn't want to do that. So, every time he's trying to use a strategy to manage the team, it seems like that strategy does not work for him.

He has great players who are very young and want to deliver, but what he doesn't have is enough of experienced players that are playing in the mix of those young players who already have the agility and have the passion to deliver, but they don't have the experience.

Take a good look at how Guardiola is currently managing Manchester City. It's a mix of old players or experienced players and young players. But we have the likes of Kevin de Bruyne is in the match to standardize the game and to put confidence in the players. Then the likes of Halaand who are always ready to score goals as the gold machine to put in goals into the net.

 So when you look reflects to Barcelona. You may have only a very few old players in their midst, or you may only say Lewandowski alone. So Xavi needs to understand some of those things and get the best way he can manage the very strong squad that he has. Leverkusen has also been able to do well in their own regards.


I must attest to the fact that Girona is doing extremely well in this season and all kudos go to the President of the club and then to Michel, who has been a great manager managing these guys so far. But the truth of the matter is the president needs to be appreciated because he's a great guy who is doing great work in both the teams that he has under him.

In them, maybe we can also say that the president is giving the managers a listening ear in terms of the chemistry of players they need to play in the league and maybe that's why they've been achieving mastery in their games. Great work, Girona.

It was beyond my expectations. I never thought Barcelona would lose to Villareal especially with a score like that. Barca really played badly. Xavi couldn't give the fans what they wanted. When the Bacelona board first recruited Xavi as coach I thought it would give positive results for Barca because we know Xavi is one of the greatest Barcelona players in history. So he can return to playing tiki-taka like before. This defeat has finished Barcelona and I am increasingly confident that Madrid will win the La Liga title this season.

You know, I doubt that many people on this forum think for a second about what they are actually writing. I understand when people desperately seek for some lines to post them here in order to reach a certain post count. Having a good post count is sometimes incentivized, I get that, but I think the least that someone can do is to consider whether what is being typed also makes some sense. Guardiola would never leave Manchester City for Barcelona. It's the biggest nonsense I have read in a while.

"it will be a good chance for Guardiola"

Lol, as if he had ever expressed his desire or as if their was a hidden agenda for Guardiola to come back to a Barcelona that is on the verge of collapse. He has Haaland and all these other amazing players and then one guy here comes up with the genius idea that he could have the inner desire to give all of that up in order to coach Barcelona.

Looking at the current condition of Barcelona, I feel so pity for the club's manager Xavi Hernandez because the Spaniard have been doing so much to make sure he keeps the club in good form but I doubt he's going to keep the on the top again considering the injury situation at the club. Since the winter transfer window is open, I think the best thing to do at the moment is for the club management to try sign quality players that can be able to help the team finish in the top four of the league table.  

Their embarrassing defeat against Villarreal today further suggests that the club is currently in shambles and if anything isn't done to control the situation, Barcelona might not finish in the top four of the league

barcelona 3 - 5 villareal

Barcelona's situation is dire. mainly in their defense, I had already commented that in the last few games Barcelona had been conceding goals in games against teams from the third division and that this was not good, then they played against Real Madrid and conceded a lot of goals and lost, then they played against Bilbao and they conceded 4 goals and again the Barcelona coach put the same players in defense again, I can't understand why a coach would put the same players in defense when he saw that in past games the team conceded many goals while those players were playing in the defense. It doesn't make sense that Barcelona's coach would keep them in the following games.

but it seems that the Barcelona coach's idea is that even playing with the same players in defense who are allowing many goals to be conceded, there is no problem. I confess that I can't understand this strategy from Barcelona's coach, but from what we can see, even with a good squad, they are not managing to win games and this way it won't take long for Barcelona fans to start putting pressure on the management. of the club so that the club's management fires the Barcelona coach. I'm wondering if Barcelona's coach will be able to finish this season, because I'm starting to doubt that a lot

Las Palma 1 - 2 Real madrid

As expected from one of the best teams in the world, Real Madrid won the game and remains in first place in the league, I have no doubt that this season we will be champions, I'm just not celebrating yet because Girona, which was supposed to be a team that stays in the positions were from European competitions, this season for some strange reason they are fighting against us in the top position and it would not be wise to celebrate knowing that Girona only has a difference of 2 points in relation to Real Madrid, we need to pray that Girona loses at less 2 games and we won 2 games so that the difference in points in 8 points of advantages we have in relation to Girona, with that we could already celebrate the title

playing at home Barcelona lost to Vilareal. this at the same time has declared by itself Barcelona has been released from the Spanish league title race.
But last night's match was quite exciting and interesting, there were many goals in this match with 8 goals scored by both teams. with a final result of 3-5 for Vilareal's victory

I have watched Barcelona play in recent games and the performance(s) has been nothing to write home about. For someone who rarely watches the La liga, I've watched Barcelona recent games and that of Madrid and truly, Barcelona is currently a mid-tier team. They've even lost at home on more than one occasion this season. Pathetic.



Why would guardiola want to leave City only to come back to a mid team like Barcelona? There's so much work to be done at Barcelona and I don't think Guardiola is ready for such challenge yet. He has already done enough at City Even Xavi has recognized that there's a "situation" that needs to be fixed in Barca.

Relegation is indeed a tough situation for any club, and it seems like Almeria may be encountering difficulties in keeping up with the progress of other teams in the league. The match against Alaves appears to be indicative of the struggles Almeria is facing, and the lack of sustained improvement is posing a significant hurdle for them. It's a tough reality when a team becomes a stepping stone for others to secure points easily, as this can have long-term consequences for their standing in the league.

While the current season may be a challenging one for Almeria, they can indeed use the experience to regroup and improve for the next season. Relegation provides an opportunity for reflection, rebuilding, and strategic planning to come back stronger in the future. The club need to assess the factors contributing to their struggles and work on strengthening various aspects to enhance their competitiveness. Football is known for its cycles, and with the right measures and determination, Almeria could aim for a more successful campaign in the seasons to come.

Barcelona and Villarreal made crucial mistakes that resulted in goals. Joao Cancelo made big mistakes and everyone considers him to be a flop in the starting line up for Barcelona. Everything now points back to Xavi Hernandez for his incompetent actions. Villarreal made some couple of mistakes that result to the visitors conceding goals and allowing Barcelona equalize and also getting them leading, Xavi Hernandez thought it's all not knowing Villarreal brought in a second alternative, which they utilize in good position, and score two important goals in the impressive injury time.

It's just a surprise that Villarreal can pull a win against Barcelona to secure 3 point. Barcelona performance at home has been a great one. They have only be won at home only by two team this season, and this two teams are the leading team i.e Girona and Real Madrid. Villarreal performance today was great and has helped them to secure this victory.

Initially I tried to be kind to Xavi's performance as a coach. But now I am really disappointed with the strategy used by Xavi for today's Barcelona match. And the Barcelona players also didn't play optimally. How could they have made so many mistakes in that match? Even in several previous matches it was the same.

And the sharpness of Barcelona's attack line is also getting duller. I think it's time for Barcelona to look for a new, better striker. Lewandowski doesn't seem like he was when he was young. Last season he was still able to perform well. But this season Lewandowski's goal productivity has really decreased drastically.

I think the defeat against Villareal today was the worst. Luckily Real Madrid is not the same as Barcelona. Because Real Madrid can still win the matches they face and continue to collect full points. But actually Real Madrid also almost got a draw. Luckily that didn't happen. If it continues like this then I'm starting to like Girona who have become a pretty solid team this season. Because we can't expect Barcelona at all. Meanwhile, Real Madrid is still good. But sometimes I have concerns about this team. Because Real Madrid sometimes doesn't play optimally in matches against weak teams. And this could make them slip up.

Villarreal team should be praised for establishing such a dominating game against a team like Barcelona, they played a very good match. Villarreal had already started very well in the first half, and they started fast as soon as the match started. The Villarreal captain put everything in to score that goal in the first half. Even though Barcelona was trying to come back in the second half, the side that was more eager to win was the Villarreal team, they did not come there with any intention of allowing this comeback.

If it wasn't for the mistake Canselo made and what happened next, there might have been hope for Barcelona. This mistake actually ruined the match for Barcelona.

Here we go, it will be a good chance for Guardiola 2 since he also wants to leave Manchester City before the storm.

Congratulations on your victory (by the way, what was your bet odds?). It’s a pity that you didn’t take all the risk, but on the other hand, a reliable bet is also very good.
In general, betting on Real's comeback is probably the easiest choice in recent seasons - in most cases, Real wins back and if we sum up all of its games (with the idea that in every case when Real was behind at some point in the score, we place a bet), then this strategy will be profitable.

I haven’t seen what happened in the Barcelona-Villarreal game yet, it seems the refereeing was problematic there again, but in any case, 5 goals at the Camp Nou? What? Barcelona has officially been dethroned, now there is only a fight for the top 4.

Barcelona lost to Villarreal today. They conceded 5 goals at home.
This game was a bad defeat for Barcelona. Nobody expected such a result.
Villarreal scored 3 goals after the 84th minute.

Real Madrid managed to win the game 2-1 after falling behind.
They are currently leading the league. There is only 2 points difference between them and Girona.

The defeat in the Copa Del Rey had a negative impact on Barcelona performance in Laliga because Villarreal this season was not very strong, but Villarreal was able to score 5 goals in this match which made Barcelona look like a fairly weak team in today match. This defeat also means that Barcelona hopes of retaining the title have been dashed this season because barcelona is already 10 points behind Real Madrid, who leads the standings. In fact, I doubt that Barcelona will be able to maintain their ranking in the top 4 if their performance continues to decline in the upcoming matches.

I don't know what happened to Barcelona in today's match because they played in front of their supporters but they conceded many goals which made Barcelona embarrassed by Villarreal in front of their supporters. If you look at Barcelona ranking on the standings, of course it is not safe because Atletico Madrid has the opportunity to move up to the top 3 if they succeed in winning the match against Valencia. Barcelona performance has started to look unbalanced lately, even Lewandowksi was unable to contribute to his goal in today's match, he was really closely guarded by the Villarreal players.

Girona's winning games in La Liga doesn't mean they can also win the title at the end of the season and I think this team has good results so far in all the games we have seen from this team but they are not in the situation to say they can win the La Liga title. Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid have much better players and they have more potential to have better performance but a team like Girona is not in this situation at all and sooner or later they will lose their place.

It's hard to understand why Villareal had to make a late comeback while Barcelona didn't seem to be able to handle it. This was the biggest defeat and didn't expect to be 5 goals down at home.

Yeah Villareal really dared to put pressure in the last minute even crazier to score two goals while things like this are very difficult is it because their defense is exhausted so that it cannot be anticipated properly?

With the defeat of the Barcelona line has announced the Xavi period will end the season now because it can not change the course of Barcelona.

Not only that, Xavi was a tactical promoter at Barcelona when he was still active as a player. However, that tactic seems unable to be implemented when Xavi coaches Barcelona now. Barcelona is known for playing short and fast football, combined with high passing accuracy. However, such a strategy seems to be beyond the control of the current players. It's possible that Xavi tried to change the playing strategy, but it didn't go well. In two matches with a significant number of mistakes, Barcelona seems to be losing hope this season to pursue the best position. Being 8 points behind Girona is a very high figure, considering Girona's stable performance in LaLiga this season.

However, there is still a lot of match remaining, which gives Barcelona an opportunity to catch up on points. On the other hand, Barcelona also has to fight in the UCL, while Girona only focuses on LaLiga. If Xavi has to leave Barcelona, will Pep return to raise the enthusiasm of the players, or will Jürgen Klopp give the signal to stop coaching Liverpool.
