Again, here we are talking about possibilities and indeed everyone is still hoping for a surprise despite the dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona so far in La Liga. I would welcome it with joy if it were Girona who won the title and for me that was a difference that came suddenly without any prior notice. However, if the champions are Real Madrid or Barcelona, it might be very boring for us to watch and it is a pleasure that the fans have every season.

Girona needs to maintain their existing performance, especially since they are not even a point away from Real Madrid and only lost on goal difference. One Real Madrid defeat would mean a lot for Girona and when they can be an unbeaten team until the end of the season, then it is clear that we will have a new winner.

Girona have stole the show from Barcelona this season, they've been the trending team from the early starts of the season till current, you know why is that? Girona thrashed Barcelona 4-2 and Atletico Madrid 4-3 meanwhile Real Madrid was the only elite club they failed to win and got humbled by Los Blancos 3-0. It's crystal clear that this season have become challenging for Barcelona, they're no longer able to win tough matches and even though they win, it's with either epic comeback with the slightest goal difference on the scoresheet. By this time last season, Barcelona was already ranked first on the La Liga table but this season is different. The Barcelona we all know have turned to become worst and struggling to win La Liga matches. They're not included in the long title race because they don't qualify for the points to be accumulated.

Barcelona performance has dropped drastically this season. Anyone can see for themselves from the matches played and the results achieved. Barcelona playing pattern is very boring, this situation means Barcelona is starting to fall out of the race for the La Liga title this season. Barcelona decline in performance also had an impact on Xavi, there were rumors that he was in danger of being fired. Meanwhile in La Liga this season, Barcelona is starting to be seven points behind Real Madrid and Girona. It will be very difficult for Barcelona to catch up with the number of points that Real Madrid has collected if its performance continues to be as unstable as it is now.

If Barcelona don't get new players in the winter transfer window who can help the team, then of course they don't have much chance of winning the Primera... But still there are 19 games left until the end of the season, and seven points is not very much, although I think that Real will win the title this season... But it will be a big surprise if Girona do it...

Barcelona is starting to experience setbacks this season and is slowly unable to compete with the three leaders of La Liga this season. The defeat against Girona was quite a blow because in the previous season Girona was not a tough opponent for Barcelona. This season Girona became the best team not because they were able to beat Barcelona but because they managed to become a strong challenger to Real Madrid at the top of the standings and at the same time became a title challenger who was still quite the favourite.

Xavi Hernandez could not run a good situation for the team because of the limited number of players he needed and he always tried to include young players when a number of key players were injured. It looks like the unstable financial conditions will be much more difficult and Xavi Hernandez will be increasingly tested when playing matches in the Champions League.

This season as Girona and Real Madrid have a great rivalry going on in the points table and their points are equal. Accordingly, we can say for sure that Barcelona will never be able to compete with these two teams in the position they are currently in. Barcelona are still 7 points behind Girona and Real Madrid, maybe they will have to fight hard to collect these points which we think is not very possible. That's why it would be better to give up Barcelona's La Liga title dreams this season as the two teams are currently locked in a rivalry on the points table. Furthermore, Athletic Club and Athletic Madrid are currently level on points and will definitely try to overtake Barcelona in the next match. Accordingly, it is better for Barcelona not to dream of winning the title this season, instead they should focus on next season and it is most important to concentrate on qualifying for the Champions League.

In these two competitions Barcelona's chances are equally slim, in Laliga because they are seven points behind and with the conditions of Real Madrid and Girona, which are quite stable in appearance, it can be said that it is impossible for Barcelona to take over the top of the standings, because it means that Real Madrid and Girona must lose at least eight points with Barcelona continuing to perform well by getting three points in all the remaining matches, and this is quite a difficult thing because during the last match against Las Palmas they almost got a draw and finally won after Las Palmas got a red card and Gundogan managed to score through the penalty spot.
Moreover, the champions league where the competition is with strong teams from different leagues and can get to the semifinals is already a pretty good achievement for Barcelona but it's not an easy thing because the opponent will be even harder when it enters the quarterfinals.

Playing for a top team like Barcelona require more than enough than playing for some random mediocre team, I don't know if you understand my point. The players are engaged with good tasks and essential roles in the team. What Barcelona needs are players that will outshine their opponents on the pitch, this is not the time to scout any player but going straight to signing the important and enchanced players. Andreas Christensen will leave afterall he's replaceable. Xavi Hernandez is looking forward to welcome some of his important players, not the injured ones in the team that are unavailable.

Many people were full of surprise over Real Betis's match against Celta Vigo. After looking at both teams' league positions before the start of the game, I thought Real Betis were going to win the game. However, it remains surprising that Betis lost to a team that is in the relegation zone after draw their previous four games against strong clubs. I was wrong when Betis scored in the first six minutes of the game, i thought Celta Vigo's chances of winning were gone. They still need to improve their performance to avoid falling back from that seventh position, especially with so many teams behind them. The best outcome for Betis in their upcoming game is a three point victory over Granada.



Since Real Madrid and Girona have the same number of points in the league, I think it would be best for Barcelona to give up on winning the league title this season. With this point differences, I don't think Barcelona can compete with these two teams at this point, Barcelona should be concentrating on how to qualify to the next champions league, as Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club want to overtake them.

Betis this season actually only gets 3 loses at Laliga but the most problem is they also as the team with the most draw results in this league with 10 draws and these records also makes Betis lost plenty of points from their previous matches because as a manager Manuel Pellegrini was unable to managed Betis consistency and on Europa League too Betis also have to eliminate early because they were suffering 2 losing streak which makes Betis only finish at 3rd place under Rangers and Sparta Prague

Betis performance was compeletely decline because with the loses from Alaves which mean Betis have already to through an 10 matches in all competitions with only gets 2 wins and now nothing they can do unless focus to Laliga and to improved their position on league standings and next weekend Betis actually will gets easy opponent Granada and if we see based on squad quality i think beating Granada is not hard task for them because this team was displayed poor performance during this season and Granada only can occupy 19th place so let see it later whether Betis can able to bounce back and beat Granada or they will failed to win and resumes their poor results again

Barcelona is in the situation in which they should sell their defender. Eric García had an amazing performance in Girona and he is going to return to Barcelona for the next season. Obviously, Barcelona wants to save a spot for this player, Chadi Riad the player of Betis will also join Barcelona soon and now it seems Barcelona is about to put Andreas Christensen for sale.
The Danish defender of Barcelona, Andreas Christensen should leave and let Barcelona have fewer defenders.

I fail to see why we should hold Xavi accountable for every Barcelona game because he always uses the players that are supposed to be playing. Yes, we all know that Barcelona is a formidable team in La Liga, and we hope that they will always remain that way, but we also need to keep in mind that we can't always count on the team to perform well. Real Madrid did not win the league title last season, but they did not blame the coach because they understood that a team should not always be winning a match. Barcelona, on the other hand, won the Liga last season despite their lacklustre performance in the Champions League.

Using Girona as an example, were you able to witness a performance like this during the previous season? Since when did Girona last win a trophy? It's been a while. After they finally calmed down and made sure everything went according to plan, they started playing well. I think Barcelona will perform well, and I also think Xavi can lead the team to as many trophies as they would like.

Starting from the day after tomorrow we will see a tense match for the 4 Spanish teams because they will be fighting for the Supercopa trophy this season. The match schedule will start today and it will go straight to the semifinals between Real Madrid vs Atletico and the next day there will be Barcelona vs Osasuna. Here it is clear that the Real Madrid vs Atletico match is the most exciting because they are not only playing as rivals but this is also included in the Madrid derby. This event will take place in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) at the Al-Awwal Park stadium (Al-Nassr Headquarters) so the organizers chose a neutral place for this competition so that it takes place more calmly and also as entertainment for the surrounding public.

Well, of course the ideal Supercopa final that we are waiting for is the El Classico meeting between Real Madrid vs Barcelona, but before that Real Madrid must get rid of city rivals Atletico if they want to face Barcelona in the Supercopa final.

Xavi Hernandez is still a young coach that needs some level of experience for him to improve in the future. However,  Barcelona are not yet out of the competition for the La Liga title. Seven points below Real Madrid and Girona is not too much to close up. Three straight wins two losses and a draw from the teams above could make Barca top the league.

Xavi's critics will argue that Girona has fewer quality players than Barca, yet they are giving Real Madrid a close chase. But this cannot set aside the fact that Xavi is running Barca on a limited budget. The financial problems of the club have limited Xavi from signing top-class players. The coach is relying more on players that are free agents and this will not bring the right quality. Be as it may, the club has achieved more in the Champions League than last season when they were knocked out at the group stage. Xavi might be part of the problem but he is not the major challenge Barca is having.

It seems xavi is still feeling confidence with the current performance of barcelona. No doubt that if the fans are starting to make various complaints regarding the performance from barcelona at this moment. It's caused by barcelona lost its confidence.
It's starting with the financial problem that was disrupting the club caused by we have various news published by various sites said that if xavi would put all of players for sale caused by the club needs to pay the debt.

This may be also affecting the performance from the club caused by we do know that so well how barcelona is always struggling against the weak team and it would always getting lose or draw which was very disappointed result for the club.
The situation will become even worse when Pedri and a few other players leave the club in the near future. Barcelona may be losing some players which will make the situation to be even worst than before.

I would like to see what plan that will be executed by xavi soon. I ahve heard that if xavi was also saying how he was feeling so confuse with so many burden owned by him.

In my opinion, Real Betis' performance has relatively declined this season, not only in LaLiga, the Copa Del Rey, but in the European League, Real Betis also didn't make it through, I don't know what made Real Betis become like this, they have lost a lot of points because they achieved a draw and Real Betis became The club with the most draws in La Liga this season, they were able to hold strong clubs like Real Madrid, Girona and Real Sociedad to a draw but they lost to a weak relegation club. Isn't that very surprising? Maybe if Celta didn't add a goal in the final minutes, the match could have ended in a draw, but it turns out that Celta could make a good comeback even though they only played with 10 people.

Real Betis' situation must be immediately improved if they continue like this, it is feared that their ranking will continues to decline because last season Real Betis only achieved 9 draw in 38 matches, whereas this season Real Betis has experienced 10 draws in just 19 match, which means Real Betis exceeded their win limit and Real Betis only got 3 wins so far, indeed a draw is not too bad but losing 20 points is a very big point and Real Betis has lost that many point so far.

Real Madrid played better than expected against Arandina. Most of his players tried to do their best on the field as young people. They could only score 3 goals in the match, I expected them to score more goals. The surprise in the King's Cup matches played yesterday was that Salamanca eliminated Villarreal via penalties. I have to say I'm really surprised by this.

None of Real Madrid, Girona or Barcelona will have perfect results in remaining matches of season, they will do drop points, just less or more than their title competitors.

To win this title, a winner must have more points than competitors and because Barcelona currently have less points than Real Madrid and Girona, they will have to play well and hope that two competitors will drop points and get less total points in coming months than Barcelona. Not sure these complex conditions will happen with both competitors of Barcelona.

Xavi returned to Barcelona as a very young coach with very little experience. He surprisingly managed to help his beloved club to win La Liga and after that, pressure on him is too much. It seems unfair extreme expectation on Xavi with players he has in the squad. Many young players who actually need some more seasons to mature and be ready for tough competitions.

Injuries are other problems and very headache for all coaches, not only a young coach like Xavi. Barcelona can aim at a runner up position in this season, that I consider a success for them. They must focus on Champions League, try to go far there because it will help to get more money for their club, somewhat helpful to mitigate their club financial crisis and also increase their confidence in Champions League for coming seasons.

For me, this is not because Barcelona looks down on their opponents which makes their game bad, but because the team's self-confidence is decreasing and their internal team is also not in harmony, plus there are several players who are injured. So it's not surprising that in the last few matches Barcelona couldn't win easily because their performance was very bad. It could even be said that winning over a weak team like Barbastro doesn't make sense. Xavi has to rack his brains to think about changes as soon as possible. If they don't make changes in the near future, I doubt they can compete in any competition this season, be it the Copa Del Rey, Laliga or the UCL league.

Barcelona have not failed, they're in the race to bring back the hopes of their fans by starting to show evidence, non stop. Xavi Hernandez should lay his eggs in a basket because the major reasons why he's been appointed as headcoach have come and is time to fall into action and swipe the necessary duties. One of the big problem of Barcelona is critical injuries on their players. The injury faced by Barcelona is not good, mostly on their key players. I would choose the Barcelona last season other than this season because this current situation is worsen. Before they will recover, it will take lengthy period of time, they're facing challenges from all rounds, threats rising on daily basis.
