Barcelona missed so many easy chances in this match that it was actually painful to watch. But I have to give credit to the goalkeeper of Osasuna because if it was not for him Barcelona would have scored at least three goals in this match.
The performance of Osasuna's defense was indeed very good in this match and it can be seen that even when playing with 10 players it seems that Barcelona is still having trouble with that.
On the other hand, the poor finishing was also one of the obstacles here and this was evident when De Jong's one-on-one opportunity against Fernandez and several opportunities obtained from Dembele failed to convert into goals.
Currently Barcelona having 13 points lead from the second spotted Atlético Madrid with 5 matches left in this season mean title is there under control so just because of these things are going not aggressive from their side, and they are playing not good as they were few weeks back and their few players surely missing good chances which is also having good impact on match result Osasuna which is currently at 9th spot with having not fair chance for the UEFA doing good job and not allowing Barcelona attack to do things which create mess-up, and they have to suffer badly defence was in good shape and their marking was also good which not allowed Barcelona players for the more goals even they were playing with 10 men for the 70 minutes of this match.

Exactly, as for Napoli, Barcelona too can very well lead and win La Liga without drama
Real Madrid have decided to quit to concentrate on the cup, and rightly so.
I don't feel like blaming ANcellotti.
I think Real Madrid win UCL

Sevilla have made a great climb in the standings after improving their form in the league. They would have even been a part of a race for joining a European tournament if there were more weeks to be played now. But still they are in a safe distance from the relegation zone at least. Their loss against Girona was unexpected to me though. I wonder if they have dropped their tempo after reaching safety in the standings.

Maybe they just want to focus on the Europa League at this moment. This makes me think like Espanyol could also get some points from them tonight. Espanyol are in the relegation zone you know but they still have a chance to get out. This could be an opportunity to do well.
Yes, Sevilla have played really well in the second half of the season. I think that now that they are in the middle of the standings, they have no motivation to try to win every game. Especially since they have the final stages left in the Europa League, where, after beating Manchester United, Sevilla can be called a contender for the top spot.
In La Liga, Sevilla's performance did not really look good, but admittedly it was very good after being able to enter the semifinals of the European league.
Even though Sevilla is currently having a bit of a poor performance in LaLiga, I'm sure Sevilla has a good plan in the European league which has been arranged by Sevilla coach Luis Mendilibar.
I believe that at least Sevilla can go to the final stage.

The next match for tomorrow.

~snip~
These are two pretty interesting matches and I thought I would place a bet on one of them. Maybe it's quite clear for Sevilla to win this game as they are still in their best form so far and with good enough squad depth it certainly won't be a problem for Sevilla to be able to beat Espanyol at home. I am more interested in betting for Sevilla to win in this match and for the Bilbao match against Betis, even though there are many injuries to Bilbao players, I am quite doubtful whether Betis can beat them or not, so I will pass the bet on this match.

The next match for tomorrow.

Sevilla vs Espanyol

I think that sevilla will be winning the game against espanyol. Espanyol has horrible performance this season and it's still placed at the relegation zone. I see no chance for espanyol to win the game against sevilla. The reason is so many key players will be going back to the starting line up.

It has been confirmed that if navas, suso and rakitic in very good conditions right now. Espanyol may lose another point. The game will be happening away for espanyol which was making the situation even worse for the club.

Bilbao vs betis

Many of Bilbao's players were injured, leading to a crisis. Real betis is coming with full power against bilbao. This gonna be a hard task for bilbao to win the game against betis. I think that if betis becomes a good choice for this match.

It was still superior compared with bilbao this time. The injured players are also making the situation in bilbao even badly.

For La Liga class, yes Barcelona has been a very good team this season. But for other classes of competition such as the Champions League and European League, Barcelona still cannot be considered good because this season Barcelona has not been successful in other competitions, so Barcelona can only focus fully on La Liga to target one of the trophies this season. And in my opinion, the La Liga trophy is indeed worthy enough to be targeted by Barcelona this season because considering this result will be proof that Xavi is able to train the team very well.

As a new coach (less than 10 years), bringing Barcelona to success in winning La Liga is something special and brilliant. Not much as a new coaches have been successful in their first season bringing their team to a championship. With Al-Sadd, Xavi won the Qatar league title, while with Barcelona he has won the supercup title. Just waiting for a few matches to see the euphoria of Barcelona win La-Liga title this season.

Sevilla has lose from Girona last week and this is their first loses after passed 7 matches unbeatable in all competitions before and now they want to improve their position on standings league and basically Sevilla position is safe and they will not being to relegation this season but i am sure they want to finish at higher rank than the current position so they have to performing well in all remaining matches of the season to gets better positions on standings league

Sevilla current opponent is Espanyol and on the paper it shouldn't be a big deal for Sevilla to beat this team especially Espanyol had poor records from away matches that this season they have already lose 8 times and only got 3 wins from away matches and for team condition both teams probably will playing with their best starting line up because there was no serious problem from their squad and all of their main players will be available to played and Sevilla win has odds @1.81 or other option such as both teams to scores seems good with odds @1.98

Barcelona is very promising this season. Because this team has been performing very poorly for the past few seasons, when Xavi joined the team, the team started to improve. Barcelona is currently considered the best team in La Liga.

It would be also better if the gap in La Liga wasn't so big and we could maintain the excitement until the last matchday, but Real Madrid and Atlético are already out. About the second position, it won't be a problem for Real Madrid to concede it if they win Copa del Rey and, most important, the Champions League. But, if they end the season winning only the FIFA Club World Cup, it will be a bit disappointing.

I know Osasuna will put up a fight but Real Madrid will win the Copa del Rey final.
It's going to be a difficult match because Osasuna know how to play with a low block and they're very disciplined. I don't see it as a match with too many goals. If I were to predict a scoreline, I would go with a 2-1 in favor of Real Madrid.

While I'm leaning towards Madrid to win the Copa del Rey, I'm going in the opposite direction in the champions league.
I don't think Madrid will win City in the champions league. Not because of Madrid's poor form in the league, but because City is on fire right now. They're more motivated than Madrid to win right now.

IMO, this fight will be a dilemma for Don Carlo. on paper, Madrid is far more favorite when compared to Osasuna. after all, these two teams have a gap, whether it's based on the quality of the players or in terms of performance and meeting statistics. so naturally, if Madrid is more favored to win the Copa del Rey trophy. even so, I'm pretty sure Don Carlo doesn't want his team to have problems in this match. for example fitness problems, or suffered an injury.

Meanwhile, Luca Modric is currently recovering from his injury. Basically, I can't assume too much about this fight. because, we don't have the latest information regarding the predicted lineup that Madrid will field. the problem is that after the final of the Copa del Rey, Madrid will host City. that means, it is very likely that Ancelotti will not play some of his core players in the Copa del Rey final. But, this is just my personal assumption. that's why, I don't want to speculate too much before this fight is held.

Talking about the semi-finals of the Champions League, I agree with you. it's just that, in football anything can happen. after all, Madrid can not be underestimated. because after all, Los Blancos always have more luck than any other team in the Champions League. there is no other way, we just wait ahead of this semi-final match later.

Barcelona is very promising this season. Because this team has been performing very poorly for the past few seasons, when Xavi joined the team, the team started to improve. Barcelona is currently considered the best team in La Liga.
Barcelona was slowly improving when xavi joined in the club. The problem if barcelona is not having good squads right now. The squad looks very solid in the domestic league but it will have different performance when it comes to the europa competition like UCL. Xavi has so many home works to be done in barcelona. Xavi needs to rebuild the team again to be even better. The current squad is not enough to compete in the UCL.
The main concern must be on its defenders. Xavi is winning la liga but he needs to prepare for the upcoming season too. The gap is very big to the real madrid. Madrid has no chance anymore to take treble winner as atletico madrid is now at the second position.

I haven't been so shocked in my life like the day I realized Madrid lost 4:2 to Girona...that too has contributed to the big slag on the table.
Fix, Real Madrid really dropped to 3rd place and Atletico Madrid in 2nd place. This is really embarrassing for Real Madrid. They don't seem serious in La Liga. Even though they are unlikely to win the La Liga title, they should at least be in 2nd place, not 3rd. This is a really terrible result. Indeed, there are still several matches to come, but are you sure that Real Madrid has the chance to take over again?
Real Madrid is surely not having good time in La Liga with right now they are at third spot but still they are doing impressive with having too many injuries and lack of few quality players are having impact on their performance, but they are still in final of the Copa del Ray final and Champions League semifinal which is impressive for them and their fans with most chances they are trying to save their players from further injuries or other problems and not taking La Liga matches seriously which is giving them shocking defeats just because of this right now Atlético Madrid is having second spot which is also good for them as they were not good in first half of this season, but their aggressive approach allows them to have good result before end of this season and trying to have better performance in coming season which could be entertaining as all three big teams could be at their best.
Real Madrid moving down to the third position doesn't really mean anything and this wouldn't change the reputation of the club. In life, we put our priority first to succeed in life. UCL and Copa de rey has been placed first by Ancelotti because he knows he can't win Laliga but if he stay more focus on the other two competition, it is possible for him to achieve it. This is what I understand and that is why am calm and not bothered because it is a wise decision. As long as Real Madrid will qualify to the champions league next season then their position on the table is cool. The fear that I have is that now that they have injured players will they be able to play and win this other trophies.

Real Madrid hasn't choose with Copa del Rey and Champion League matches schedule because left three days after facing Osasuna have important match against Manchester City in Champion League. Carlo Ancelotti have smart rotation with his players composition against Osasuna and seems can't push three days later with the same line up composition against  Manchester City. Both matches most important for Real Madrid after losing compete in La Liga tittle race and right now left opportunities with copa del rey and champion league.

Rotation is must adopted by Ancelotti if want their team keep in the top level performance from copa del rey and Champion League, I think Madrid still difficult finding new back up for Karim Benzema position after losing last game against Real Sociedad when Benzema absent.

For me, Barcelona already won the La Liga title.
For me the question is where Real Madrid will end? In the second spot or in the third one?
Right now they are in the third rank. ATM were advancing from behind with a fast manner and inflicting much damage (goals) on the other teams. This time they knocked Cadiz with 5 goals. Meanwhile Real Madrid throw 6 points out of 9 in the last three goals alone!
For Barcelona, they only have to win another match to be declared champion. Another alternative is to get at least 2 draws in the remaining 5 games. Barcelona deserve that with their good team, nice defence and the absence of concentration of their rivals.
Right now, they are not thinking about this whether they are going to end at the second or third spot because their main focus is how to handle Manchester City in the semifinal of the Champions League Carlos Ancelotti is doing his own tricks which are helpful for them in Champions League with they already have enough space for staying into top three which is not bad for them after having double in last season, and again they can win one cup and now doing their all strategy for the big game I am also shocked with their performance in last two defeats but look like they are having no issue with these defeats but if they are able to stop Manchester City then surely things could be entertaining for them and their fans but with the current form of Manchester City it's not looking easy right now.

Atlético with the current form may well hold the second place after Barcelona, and Real Madrid, taking into account participation in the Champions League, may still lose points. I don’t know how important this can be for Real Madrid, here only who the champion plays an important role, and who will finish the season in the top 4, everything else is secondary. Barca dominate in La Liga, but it would be much better if it could also manifest itself in the Champions League.

It would be also better if the gap in La Liga wasn't so big and we could maintain the excitement until the last matchday, but Real Madrid and Atlético are already out. About the second position, it won't be a problem for Real Madrid to concede it if they win Copa del Rey and, most important, the Champions League.

Valencia vs Villarreal ended in a first half draw. Villarreal needs to take advantage of this game to secure three points so they can close up on the point gap between Real Sociedad. Who knows they might be lucky to climb if Sociedad fails to maintain the fourth place. The game is not sparking the attention that is needed as Villarreal fail to create many chances in the first half. If it ends in a draw it will be giving Real Betis chance to climb to fifth place even though it might not mean much but Villarreal should focus more to see if they can make the fourth place a bit competitive now the season is coming to an end.
I thought we were going to see a one-sided match. And Villarreal will win this match. But Villarreal's performance was not good in today's match. After 80 minutes, the match is still tied at 1-1. In the 62nd minute of the Villarreal match, Villarreal took the lead with Nicolas Jackson's goal, but Valencia was able to equalize the match in just 10 minutes. Now Valencia is playing a defensive strategy. Valencia's performance in this match was quite good. They deserve 1 point in this match.
Nicholas Jackson is the man of the match, he scored on the 62nd minutes of the match for Villarreal. He has scored a total of seven goal this season. Villarreal was in charge of the first half and Valencia took over the second half. Valencia would have won the match by Mari extra time goal which turned out to be an offside.
Valencia took total control of the game in the second half and had so many opportunities but it couldn't be converted to a goal. Samuel Lino equalise the goal for his side on the 72nd minutes with an assist from Hugo Duro. The match ended 1-1

I am happy for Valencia to get points in this match. I was very disappointed with Villarreal's performance in this match. Villarreal are fighting for a place in the top four of the table. In this situation, getting 3 points against Valencia was very important for Villarreal. But their performance was very poor in this match.

If Villarreal had played an attacking strategy from the beginning of the match. Then the players of Valencia would have been under pressure in this match. And didn't try to attack too much. But since Villarreal played defensively. Because of this, Valencia was able to create opportunities to attack. And Valencia's performance was better than Villarreal's in this match.

this is not a surprising result because indeed in the last few matches Real Madrid has played very badly and there is no greater desire in the remaining La Liga matches after they were far behind on points from Barcelona and unfortunately now Real Madrid has the potential to drop to 3rd place in the La Liga standings because of Atletico Madrid currently only 2 points apart and Atletico haven't played 1 match this week, it is very possible for Atletico to replace Real Madrid in 2nd place in the standings.

and despite the poor performance of Real Madrid, it must be admitted that Real Sociedad's performance this season is extraordinary, they are very consistent, even now they are in 4th place in the La Liga standings which makes it possible for them to be able to finish in that position and get a ticket to UCL next season.
From a different point of view, I don't think Real Madrid should have lost without the intention of winning the match. They had tried to score, but unfortunately they couldn't make it until the end of the match. Dani Carvajal's red card was certainly not expected, it has ruined Real Madrid's plans in that match. But I agree that Real Madrid and their coach have rested some important players for the Champions League Copa Del Rey final, but after all Real Madrid's defeat is certainly very not fun.

I think Ancelotti is already very focused on the Copa Del Rey final against Osasuna, so I think it's only natural that Real Madrid's form is not as strong as expected because they are not playing with their best squad. The Copa Del Rey final and Champions League first leg are more important for Ancelotti than winning La Liga match so I hope they can play and achieve their target this season.

That's true and Real Madrid really disappointed about La Liga because of the gap they have between themselves and Barcemolna they are not even trying to decrease the gap and the only goal they have for this season is just the champions league where they can have much more hope. But there is even the chance for them to lose the second position in the table to Atletico Madrid if they continue this performance in La Liga.
