currently Sevilla's performance is getting better and that's the positive thing they showed towards the Europa League semifinals against Juventus.
Sevilla's victory over Espanyol did not have any effect on them on the La Liga standings but of course this victory can increase confidence and that is very important.

and it's the opposite for Espanyol who are fighting their way out of the relegation zone.
This defeat made Espanyol even worse off and they are now 3 points behind Valencia with only 5 more matches left, making the bottom teams have to compete fiercely to get out of the relegation zone.

Real Betis was able to score 1 goal in the first half, in the 6th minute to be precise, and that was the only goal scored in this match. Atletico Bilbao tried every way to be able to reply and equalize, but the efforts they made throughout the match only failed. they made 21 attempts, and only 6 could lead to goal, unfortunately they couldn't create a single goal from the chances they got. On the other hand, Real Betis only managed to create 2 shots towards goal, but one of them managed to nest in the opponent's goal, and that allowed them to win.

Of course Barcelona will not waste the opportunity to immediately ensure the La Liga title. But even though the Blaugrana are the favorites to win I hope Xavi will continue to play full strength in this match, especially for Lewandowski he has to add to his goal treasury because to be able to get away from Benzema's pursuit. For Lewandowski it will be very special if he is able to win the top scorer title and win La Liga in his first season with Barcelona.

Let's be realistic, that the final battle of the Copa del Rey between Real Madrid vs Osasuna has not yet been held. So, we can't say for sure which team will win the Copa del Rey competition. As far as I know, this match will be held at the Stadio Olimpico de Sevilla, this Sunday. although we agree, that the probability of victory owned by Madrid is very high compared to Osasuna. it's just that this battle hasn't been won yet, and we can't say for sure who will be the champion. imagine, three days later, Madrid will host Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu. that means, Carlo Ancelotti does not want mistakes to happen to his team.

In this match, Luca Modric, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, their status is in doubt. if forced, it is likely that these players will experience some problems against City later, it could be a fitness problem, or be injured again. in this fight, Don Carlo must formulate a strategy. In essence, Madrid must win this fight easily. if the scenario went according to plan, some core players would be pulled in to conserve the players' energy. after that, three days later Madrid will host City. the question is, will Madrid play with excellent performance. Meanwhile, Osasuna will not let Madrid win the Copa del Rey easily. at least, they will play more defensively. and hope, the game ends in a penalty shootout. well, this will be very tiring. by the way, this is just my point of view. for sure, we just enjoy this fight later.

Barcelona has opportunity to make La Liga over on matchday 34 against Espanyol and whatever match result from rival team Atletico and Real Madrid is not important. Espanyol is not really stronger team looking on current standings placed, dropped to 17th position and potential will relegation this season seems easy for Barcelona winning on this derby time. I sure with Barcelona chance for winning La Liga tittle in this season looking on points gap with the rival team Atletico and Real Madrid.

Have another mission for Robert Lewandowski after success bring Barcelona winning La Liga in this season for becoming top scorer, remaining two goals from Karim Benzema on top scorer list awhile is not secure and he need score every games left if want to be La Liga top scorer.

Fatigue and loss of focus are affecting some good teams all over Europe. We are seeing once outstanding teams like Arsenal and Napoli losing the tempo and losing important games recently. Napoli's was just fortunate to utilize their prime time to acquire points that sustained them to grab the title. The Yellow Submarines outclassed Real Betis but they were just not lucky. They had up to two disallowed goals because of very close offside decisions. And the blunder by goalkeeper Reina caused their downfall in that game, the outcome of this game is disappointing. Villarreal needs more than eight points to take over Real Sociedad champions league slot which is hard to achieve. But the race is still on until the end of the season. Real Betis have had a fairly impressive season and they still have the opportunity to surpass last season's position and at least grab a Europa League position.

Real madrid have been this way in  their performance for sometime,  games that is expected for them to win sometimes ends  up to be poor results.  Real Madrid with this performance makes me doubt if they can resist the force of Manchester City in Champions league,  Manchester city is a team of heavy force .

Yes, I've seen the news, but in the end which teams will go to the next Champions League in your opinion?
It would be important for the strongest to go really and not the luckiest, in my opinion.

Maybe the presence of Real Sociedad, which is now in 4th place in the standings, makes them very safe and will certainly be very happy if they manage to maintain their current position as capital to compete in the champions league next season. We know that the 3 teams above have been regulars for the champions league since 10 years ago and maybe this time Real Sociedad will be a differentiator, where Sevilla or Valencia are usually currently filling their positions. Real Sociedad must ensure their victory through the remaining matches of this season so that no other team under them will disturb them.

If Villarreal, whose position is closer to Real Sociedad but may lose their chance to finish in the top four, then what about Betis, whose position is actually under Villarreal. That way, theoretically at least Betis no longer has a chance to finish in the top four, because Betis' current target is to maintain its position in sixth place or maybe, Betis will compete with Villarreal to be able to finish in fifth position to get a ticket Europa League.

Because after all, I personally really believe that Real Sociedad will not suffer consecutive defeats, and if that happens then of course Real Sociedad will be able to stay in the top four until the end of the season. Therefore, the teams below Barcelona for positions two to six, of course, they will still compete, but chances are they will only maintain their position so they will no longer be overtaken.

It has been a long season and Barcelona are only around two weeks away from announcing their championship in the league. They only need to win against Espanyol away and that's it! They don't even need to wait for the result of the Elche - Atletico Madrid match in that case. This is going to be a completely deserved title for Barcelona firstly. They have made a much bigger effort than their biggest rivals until this point.

However I'm wondering how good Barcelona will prepare for next season. Because their main issue hasn't been with their league performance of course. It has been with their performance in the Champions League obviously. Because for two seasons they have been inadequate there. This must be very disappointing for their fans. Barcelona need to improve themselves against big teams in the Champions League. Lewandowski also had scoring issues in such matches there so I hope to see the same from him also.

As we can see, Guaye became the hero of Sevilla's victory after scoring the decisive goal in the 88th minute by taking advantage of Marcos Acuna's pass and three points in this home game brought Sevilla to 11th place with a collection of 44 points from 33 matches. While Espanyol have not managed to move from the relegation zone to be precise in 19th position. Luis Garcia's team has also collected 31 points from 33 matches for that Espanyol must be able to take advantage of the remaining matches remaining at the end of this season by getting out of the relegation zone.

We also know that Sevilla will play the first leg of the Europa League away to Juventus on Friday before visiting Valladolid on Sunday. Meanwhile, Espanyol will play a derby match against Barcelona. Of course, that meeting made it difficult for Espanyol to get out of the relegation zone but I hope they continue to have the confidence to get out of there.

Sevilla in LaLiga only places 11th, with 5 matches remaining. Maybe to be able to get European league tickets next season is not possible. But if they succeed in the European league this season, of course they will get a ticket to the Champions League in the next season. But Juve are a tough opponent, it will be difficult for Sevilla.

In the first half, Real Betis played very well, they found many good scoring chances, but they could only score 1 goal. The goal we watched was really good, but we could have watched a lot more goals.
In the second half, Athletic also played quite well, but failed to score. It was a somewhat unfortunate match for them. They were also behind in the standings and this was a very critical match to finish the league among the top 6 teams

Hello mate, the strategy implemented by the Real Madrid coach at this time is very appropriate in my opinion, because when they (Real Madrid) have started to realize that they are starting to find it difficult to catch Barcelona at the top of the standings. Real Madrid is no longer targeting a trophy in La Liga for this season so Real Madrid is no longer forced to field its core players to fight in La Liga, because on the other hand there is another trophy Real Madrid is fighting for this season.

One of them is the Copa Del Rey trophy and also the Champions League trophy, so Real Madrid prefers not to pair players whose physical condition is still doubtful in La Liga so that they can all have time to rest before the Copa Del Rey and Champions League matches begin.

In fact, that's normal to see Real Madrid really not working hard for La Liga because they know they can't win the league this season and they are disappointed whenever a team is playing while they are disappointed about the league you can't expect to see better performance from them but I think if Real Madrid continues this bad performance they can even lose the second position of the table to Atletico Madrid.

Yes, this season Real Madrid is very weak in defense so it's so easy for opponents to exploit that area. Besides that, the defeats he suffered in the last two matches were due to Madrid's concentration, which began to focus on the Copa del Rey and the Champions League. I see that there is still a chance for other teams to be able to win full points against Madrid until they finish in the two competitions. Ancelotti also did not pay too much attention to the defeat suffered by his team in La Liga because indeed he openly emphasized that he was shifting his focus to the Copa del Rey final and the Semi-final against Manchester City.

Im aware of how hard athletico club to make attack against betis. betis used full defensive strategy and it used only counter attack to give pressure to the athletic club. It was working successfully caused by willian jose was able helping betis to take full points from athletic club at this moment.
It is not difficult to predict the result of this match. The team with fully defensive strategy has more chance to build a better attack caused by the counter attack was coming when its opponent feel so confidence to build more and more attacks.

Jose's volley shoot was very strong. The keeper could not block it by athletic club's goal keeper. Athletic clubs was making attacks against betis intensively with the hope to make the result will be draw.
All of efforts that already made by athletic clubs was useless caused by none of these attacks were giving goal.

Athletic club shall have learned from its mistake. Never try to let its opponent to get a free space.

Watching Madrid's defeat to Real Sociedad is certainly disappointing. Hoping they could win with a high score and betting on them, but the end result says otherwise. Madrid lost heavily without scoring a goal, their game seems to be in a bad state lately. It will be very difficult for Madrid to catch up with Barcelona's points deficit, even with Atletico Madrid who is only one point ahead. They must quickly fix their mistakes in the next game.

the gap of 7 points is a huge gap considering that there are only 5 games left in the league. But from the remaining 5 matches that Real Sociedad has, they have quite tough opponents such as Girona, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Sevilla, and if they don't manage to make the best possible results, of course they will be replaced by Villarreal who have opponents who easier.


They still have a chance to go to the UCL next season, but it's a very small percentage, I doubt that they will still be able to fight for the UCL position next season. In the next match they will compete against Rayo Vallecano, they must be able to prove that they are still worthy of the UCL position by beating Rayo Vallecano.
