Villarreal vs Girona, currently entering the second half and the score is 1-1. Both teams played equally strong. not many opportunities were created by both teams. Villarreal took the lead early on, and in the second half, they looked to take the lead again. Villarreal of course wants to get a win to catch up on the points gap with Sociedad in 4th place. Meanwhile, Girona currently seems to be showing their best performance in La Liga. they want to finish the season in a comfortable position.
and finally Girona lost at home when they played against Villarreal with a score of 1-2. I predicted that this match would be at least a draw but the fact that Gerard Moreno was able to score an additional goal in the last minute which surprised me was that Villarreal's performance was very strong.

the other match currently underway is Barcelona vs Real Sociedad and the match takes place at Camp Nou. Barcelona should have been superior in this match but in fact in the first half Real Sociedad players were able to score in the first minute and will this also be a surprise for Barcelona to lose at home.

A really suspicious Barcelona which does not look like they want to score goals,especially Lewandoski which had a clamorous occasion which he scores from that position 100% of the time and he didn't this time.
I don't think it is suspicious, we can understand if Barcelona didn't play seriously because they officially already won the La Liga. Lewandowski also leads the top scorer table with 4 goals, so it won't be a big problem although he fails to score in this match. Sure, every fan expects Barcelona to win and Lewandowski to score, but this match isn't easy because they are against Real Sociedad which tries to secure its position in UCL zone. Real Sociedad has a bigger motivation to win, that's why they can play surprisingly.

*Update: Lewandowski scored 1 goal (minute 90')

The match between Barcelona and Real Sociedad is definitely important for Villareal if they want to get the fourth place in the table because there is a high chance for Barcelona to win the game against Sociedad and give a chance to Villareal for the champions league ticket but right now Real Sociedad scored one goal and that's bad news for Villareal.
The match is almost over and Real Sociedad is leading with 1 goal. I think Real Sociedad will win the match, not enough time for Barcelona to score more goals. Current scores: Barcelona 1-2 Real Sociedad. I assume Real Sociedad will be safe in UCL zone (top 4).



Real Sociedad won over Barcelona 1-2 and now they are o most for sure in the champions league next season. What a win over the champions of laliga. Barcelona didnt need anything and Real Sociedad took that and won a big match they just need three points more.

Both teams played and struggle very well, Girona performance in the match today was perfect, Yeremi pino take the first card of the day and first assist of the day. Villarreal scored their first goal at nine minutes and Girona equalized the goals in twenty four minutes first half end with 1:1, and the second half was tough too but Villarreal luckily score last minute goal to take the victory over Girona. Last minute goal ninety four minutes goal, I was not expecting that, I thought the game will be draw, but Villarreal takes the points

A really suspicious Barcelona which does not look like they want to score goals,especially Lewandoski which had a clamorous occasion which he scores from that position 100% of the time and he didn't this time.Real Sociedad meanwhile is making occasion after occasion for goal and it is only thanks to Barcelona keeper that the result is 0-1 still,it should be 0-3 or 0-4 and I don't know what Barcelona is doing.Dembele is doing great runs and shows but Barcelona misses that final touch to score the goal,it was supposed to be a party for Barcelona at home tonight while they are going toward their first defeat of the season before their fans in La Liga.
So, I also feel that there is something strange about Barcelona in this match. Because there are too many opportunities that would normally be goals but they miss. this is too unusual. The first half only resulted in a 0-1 lead over Real Sociedad. I hope in the second half the Barcelona players can be more serious about getting back on the scoresheet and winning the match. if not then it means I have to give up my bet for this fight. Lewandowski and Dembele I think they are usually better than this. I hope they don't let me down in the second half.And actually the Barcelona front line players at the moment seem to have a pretty good and comfortable game. Rapinha also played well. It's just that Barcelona needed their usual good finishing touch to score.

They couldn't convert those chances they had during the first half now they are finding ways to unlock Real Sociedad who has been defending very well since the start of the second half. Take is a promising lad, he's been taking Jordi Alba on a steady run. Missing goals have been seen by both sides. But the changes made shows that Xavi Hernandez wouldn't want to lose this game especially at home. Barcelona are not pressured but they should get to share the points even if they can't win the game.
Now the game is in the minutes of added time which means the game will be over soon. and the score still shows 1-2 and Real Sociedad looks like they will bring full points from this match. I am quite frustrated with this result. And I think all the Barcelona supporters who filled the Camp Nou Stadium also felt my annoyance. Especially after seeing Lewandowski brought down but it turned out that the referee did nothing with the violation. But the main problem is that Barcelona lack motivation to win this game. And this is what allows Real Sociedad to play with a defense that is quite comfortable in this match. as I write this match has ended with a score of 1-2. with the win going to Real Sociedad. With this result Real Sociedad can feel more secure in holding a ticket to the UCL.

I am happy that Lewandoski just scored as this clearly cleared all of my doubts and those were just missed chances for him,at least I won 2 out of my three bets,I won both teams to score yes and over 2.5 goals which were nice bets to bring up my balance for betting a bit as there are quite some nice games tomorrow from the La Liga.

Overall though this game from Barcelona has been in the same level as those in Champions League this year which means there they got only 4 from 18 points and this means they have played really bad tonight,nevertheless they gave a goal to the fans and they will be celebrating right after this game finishes now.

Please calm down, it's just about some missed opportunities. But I believe that now Barcelona is not very interested in winning this match after winning the title, so this is Sociedad's chance to collect some points. Barcelona are just trying to defend their home record, but I don't think they will play dirty today just to win Sociedad.
The game is almost over and now Sociedad is ahead with the current scoreline of 0-2. Many opportunities were missed and indeed it seems that for the current conditions they are just playing passing on the field without anything interesting and 3 points are only left for Sociedad at this time.
This result is of course very good for Sociedad because indirectly they are much safer with a 5 point gap from Villarreal while securing a position in the Champions League zone because Betis is no longer possible to catch up with them with 3 matches remaining and a 10 point gap this time even though it is for Virralleal actually it is still possible to make a reversal there but of course this is a little difficult.

So I want to be as calm as possible and I see that Barcelona does not give a single sh*t about at least scoring one goal as they are now 2 down but I insist Lewandowski is losing occasions and he lost one again where he usually runs away in such 1-1 action.Most probably Barcelona players have been celebrating all this week and now when it comes to game day they are physically in a really bad shape as this game is showing and it will be very difficult for them to find motivation to play and try to give the fans something to be proud of in this game,nevertheless the fans are staying to celebrate after the game as most likely in such situation in another scenario they would be leaving the stadium early.

What you say in this case is true because Xavi has nothing to do with finances because he is just a coach who is only tasked with training the players there and of course for financial tasks and other matters there is management. But on the other hand we also have to realize that when management has problems, then this will indirectly have an impact on those below in this case of course about coaches and players because they will get an impact that could be very significant.
For example, when a few seasons ago they also experienced a very deep crisis and made their performance destroyed just because management was incompetent to take care of their conditions. Another example is experienced by Chelsea in the EPL this season because they were also destroyed when there was a major overhaul in terms of management.

If Barcelona cannot overcome this, it is not impossible that with their current overpaid condition they will return to selling several players including their current star players which of course this will be a fairly risky problem for them next season.

So far I think Barcelona has several options to manage their finances and solve their financial problems, but I'm not interested in going too far into that because maybe it will never be accurate.

One of the things I'm thinking about is streamlining the squad which can still be an option so that Barcelona doesn't have player salary insubordination. Also they can still lower the salaries of the players and only aim for a few free players on the market to build up their squad, but can also sell some other valuable assets if that's needed.
Downsizing the squad is indeed necessary at the moment but if you reflect on last season when Xavi tried his best to keep his players then this will also be a little complicated although it is likely that they inevitably have to be like that now with the conditions of inflating player salaries because it would be impossible to continue to force salary reductions for now as they have always done over the past few seasons.
But indeed if such a thing happens then it is also possible for them to have a different condition of performance.

At the moment Alba and Busquets seem certain to leave and some players who have contributed little to Barcelona are already on the list but when I think they will also still make some sales to their potential players because it is unlikely that they will be passive for transfers this season.

BTW, in the remaining Villarreal matches, they will face Cadiz, Rayo Vallecano and Atletico Madrid, do you think Villarreal can get full points in each of their remaining matches?
Actually, it's very difficult to answer your question because anything can happen, but maybe I think not. I mean Villarreal can't get full points in their remaining matches. Especially the game against Cadiz, I mean in next match. Cadiz is quite a difficult opponent for Villarreal to beat, because based on the history of head to head these both teams seemed equal. 

Their most difficult opponent in the remaining matches they have is against Atletico Madrid, so, I think Cadiz will be an easy opponent for them. Have you seen the La Liga standings? if so, can't you see Cadiz is 15th? this means they are having a bad season. In conclusion, it will not be difficult for Villarreal to get 3 points from Cadiz (IMO).

Villareal chance to get to UCL ticket next season will be determined tonight not by tomorrow if Barcelona wins Real Sociedad at home.
Real Sociedad has a 2 points difference with Villareal already. if they lose today's match to Barcelona, it will give Villareal a little bit of confidence for qualifying for the champion league. That was why they make sure they win Girona to shorten their gap against Real Sociedad
Villareal can expect luck from the Barcelona Vs Real Sociedad match to provide a bigger opportunity for Villareal to break into 4th place this season. But look at the temporary score where Real Sociedad led 0-1 and it is likely that Real Sociedad will play more impressively to maintain this advantage until the end of the game.

In other words, Barcelona will not chase victory because the final result doesn't change anything for their ranking, so I believe Sociedad can take advantage of this opportunity to continue to put pressure on Barcelona and win this match.  For the statistics of the first half match where Barcelona simply dominated the game and they also had several good opportunities to score goals but unfortunately they have not succeeded in doing so.

The match between Barcelona and Real Sociedad is definitely important for Villareal if they want to get the fourth place in the table because there is a high chance for Barcelona to win the game against Sociedad and give a chance to Villareal for the champions league ticket but right now Real Sociedad scored one goal and that's bad news for Villareal.

But considering the last five matches this both teams between Villarreal and Cadiz, looks like there is a possibility for Villarreal to win, they have a better record rather than Cadiz. So they still have a chance to get full points, but I'm not too sure.

I thought the second half had ended in a draw with the score 1 - 1, but in the last minute Villarreal gave a surprise managed to score the second goal in the last minute before the referee blew the whistle, Girona had to recognize Villarreal's prowess and managed to steal the win with a score of 1 - 2, I think Villareal has high confidence to win this.

VIllareal has managed to beat Girona at home, as a guest obviously Villareal is very lucky to be able to score a goal in the last minute from Gerard Moreno's goal, I think Villareal have a chance to get a UCL ticket next season if Sociedad loses to barcelona tomorrow because there will only be 1 difference points only with sociedad.

There is 3 matches left and currently real sociedad leading 0-1 against barcelona who play full team still despite they have crowned la liga winner already , real sociedad always make big teams struggle and they are doing it by now to beat barcelona and have 5 points clear above villareal.

Tough situation for villareal but hey ! It's football right? Even if the odds that high.
I initially felt that for Barcelona they would not play their core players and only try a few players just to give confidence to the young players in this game but they came out with full strength despite some trials like Dembele who is positioned on the left winger it was rare for him to be there.
The score was still 0-1 until the 30th minute with a quick goal from Sociedad but indeed there was still quite a long time and I still feel that with Barcelona's current condition they can still equalize the score even for a comeback with the current players.

Xavi is not an inexperienced manager as he had previously managed Al-Sadd In Qatar's League so yeah it's not like he directly came onto managing a side like Barcelona. However it was first time managing a bit club and in a big league so certainly it was lot of pressure but he did handled well and helped Barcelona win La Liga after 3 years which is massive. Next season, its CL also and they will be defending the title so lot will be expected from Xavi.
Xavi has been with Barcelona for a long time. And so he is familiar with this team. I would say this is why Xavi has been successful as a Barcelona coach. When Koemna was the coach of Barcelona, Barcelona was a team that was almost in chaos. Slowly Xavi stabilized this team. And now Barcelona is a strong team. Barcelona won the La Liga title this season. It is expected that the Barcelona team will play to win both Champions League and La Liga titles next season. Xavi will be able to strengthen this team.
I think the difference between the coaches is that one actually has a plan and the other just made up a plan according to whatever he had. The difference on the trust level is also a lot different, Xavi is one of the all time greats of Barcelona so he was given a chance Koeman wasn't given as well, the team literally sold everything they had just to build this team for Xavi, they wouldn't do that for any other person.
They are doing fine now but lets be honest, they do not have much left to sell, they are literally selling their entire future just to have success right now, and they only did league this season which isn't all that much money. Real has no cap problems because they kept on winning and Barcelona lacked that, lets hope that they will do better next season.

I actually want to know that even though they have sold a lot of players in a short time, did they actually have a better financial transaction and are they in a better financial position right now? I don't think it has actually affected the financial situation of Barcelona too much, to be honest. Because Barcelona has been spending a lot of money as well. They should be very careful about how they spend money. Because I believe they will have to buy players very soon. They are not going to be able to continue for a long time with the same players that they have right now.
