Derbi is important for two engaged clubs and they usually fight very hard to win any debri. Barcelona don't must to win this derbi to win La Liga, they can win La Liga with another match. However, with importance of derbi, they will surely want to win it. Moreover, they will want to help Lewandowski to beat Benzema in Pinicchi race. In this week, perhaps Benzema will be reserved for Champions League semi final and Lewandowski will have one match to secure his first position in Pinicchi ranking.

In many years, Benzema played as a forward in Real Madrid, not as a striker like he played in Lyon and Real Madrid last few years. It affected total goals Benzema had during those years. It is 9 seasons that is very long and you can imagine that if Benzema had played as a main striker of Real Madrid in those 9 years, how many goals he would have scored for them.

One never knows what to expect from a "derbi", and you just mentioned two. About the Catalonian derbi, although this match is really important for Espanyol I don't think Barça will relax their game because mathematical victory gives a lot of peace of mind; but who knows, Espanyol could try to do their best and eventually get a point from a draw.

On the other hand, a Madrileñan derbi is always exciting, but this season the second leg is so important in order to end 2nd or 3rd in the standings that it will be even more, if possible.

But this is not the only fun thing remaining in La Liga: qualifications for different European competitions next year are still at stake and teams in positions from 5th to 9th won't give up in their efforts to access until the last moment.

Barcelona are so close to making their league title official now. Espanyol is their next opponent and winning against them will guarantee their championship this season. Espanyol might cause some trouble maybe because of trying to get out of the relegation zone. But I don't think it would be a big deal for Barcelona as long as they play their usual game for the declaration of their championship.

The only fun thing to watch in the La Liga is the competition between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid for the 2nd position now. Real Madrid don't seem to be very dedicated about it though.

We seem to see this from one side.
We are complaining already that Benzema injury made him not to have enough goal than Lewandowsky as though if he scored in enough goal in La liga than Lewandowsky it mean he is better than him. its like some of us has forgotten that injury is part of football and every one is prone to encounter it at any time. Remember, Lewandowsky came to Spain in his old age era and yet he scored and was rated La liga top scorer but you guys seems to be comparing two old men with different factors.  Lewandowsky in Germany league had more goals than Benzema in Spanish league and coming to play in La liga Lewandowski is still the current highest top scorer with or without injury sentiment. Benzema's goal prowess had a strong force between 2020 to 2023,  6 to  7 years ago you wouldn't want to compare Benzema and Lewandowsky.
Remember, Benzema started playing at a younger age than Lewandowski, so If actually you want to compare the two icons I quest this will help u.

In what knockout stage? There is no knockout stage in the La Liga and Real Madrid and Barcelona can no longer play each other this season. If Barcelona beat Espanyol on the 14th of May, they would secure the La Liga title with 4 games remaining to play. So many people may say Xavi and Barca didn't have a good season because they were eliminated from the champions league in the group stage, and were also eliminated from the Europa league and copa dey rey, but i think Xavi and Barca did well, to take the title from this Real madrid team is not an easy thing to do. Next season they will be playing as La Liga champions, so it should help them to also do better in other competitions.

Well, this is a good opportunity for Real Madrid to at least get a trophy in the Copa del Rey because this season the trophy in Laliga seems to be in the hands of Barcelona.

If we trace the meeting between Real Madrid and Osasuna in the last 10 meetings, we can see and find an interesting fact, that is, Osasuna has never won even in their last 10 meetings against Real Madrid. So that in the Copa del Rey Final it seems clear that victory will be in the hands of Real Madrid.

 3 days after this match, Real Madrid had to prepare again to face Man City in the Champions League semi-finals. So it can be said that Real Madrid only has about 72 hours of rest and preparation time. But today Real Madrid must focus on getting the title in the Copa del Rey.

On paper, Madrid is clearly more likely to win the Copa Del Rey this season considering that their opponent is 'only' Osasuna. but besides that, as we know that Osasuna has never won any prestigious trophy in history, and they are trying to end this bad record by targeting their first trophy in the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid, of course they will fight as much as possible to win or hold draw to seek luck in the penalty shootout.

On the other hand, Madrid, who is the defending champion of the Spanish League and Champions League, is hunting for the 20th King's Cup. You are right that the last time Los Blancos lifted the King's Cup was in 2014 after beating Barcelona. I predict that Madrid will narrowly win against Osasuna because I think Osasuna may not have a winning mentality like Madrid so they are still not ready to win it.

I agree with you, Barcelona was in the post-Messi mess when Xavi took the mantle of leadership and the guy has helped the club so well. They did well but not like they were before, but still, I see nothing so serious taking the title from them this season. They are too far from their nearest opponent and can't be so careless to lose about 5 matches for Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid to be ahead of them.

I still implore them to be more serious, they should learn from Arsenal, this is not the time to relax, opponents still have time to overtake them.

Lewandowski is definitely the best player in Barcelona and the successfully scored 19 goals this season for his team so far which is amazing for any player, while the sad thing for Barcelona is they don't have any alternative for Lewandowski to replace him and have the same performance and Lewandowski is getting old that's why they need a younger player.

Even I believe it's never been ideal to compare different leagues with each other because all have their own positive and negatives which are having their own impact as well but still I believe La Liga is much better and competitive then Bundesliga because here we have many teams which are having tough quality and top ranked players instead of Bundesliga which is having just three or four teams which are mostly fighting against each other and quality difference is also having big issue as well.

With mostly we have Robert Lewandowski a great number of goals but here in this season even he is at the top but still we have reduced number of goals jut because of quality difference and as few are thinking age and other aspects also have their impact, but I believe quality and league difference is surely having big impact on his performance.

Final Copa del Rey Real Madrid vs Osasuna

Real Madrid has the opportunity to win the Copa del Rey this season after waiting for almost 9 seasons and last won in 2014, its great opportunity for Real Madrid after losing hope with La Liga tittle and has chance for winning Copa del Rey or Champion League in this season how to answer public disappointed after Madrid loss compete with Barcelona in La Liga. Seems not problem with Real Madrid composition because all player are fit and ready against Osasuna tomorrow night. In domestic league, Osasuna not has impressive performance although success lead until 10th standings position, they loss last two matches in a row Real Sociedad and Barcelona. I think Madrid will win in this games and get back Copa del Rey tittle after waiting more then nine years.

There is no doubt Sevilla after having the worst start of this season done good recovery right now they are at the 11th spot in La Liga which is surely impressive with now they are going to face Juventus into semifinal of the Europa Cup which is also interesting because Italian giant is having also troubling season even they are also trying to recover, but things are not going into their way which is clearly giving some advantage to Sevilla for the win in UEFA Cup because history is also favoring Sevilla and current recovery is also good even Girona defeat is setback but still they can do better and have fair chance for the final spot with most chances they will end here in La Liga between 8 and 12 because many other teams are also doing better and have chance for ending into top ten.

Sevilla is trying to keep up with good performance, they have succeeded in winning 4 matches out of their last five games. But getting a spot in the Europa next season will be a very difficult task to tackle, because they have three strong matches out of the five left to end the season and Madrid and Real Sociedad is amongst the list. The should rather focus on winning the Europa so they get express ticket for the champions league next season.

I think Barcelona have a great chance to secure the La Liga title. But if Barcelona meet Real Madrid in the knockout stage, I will be a bit worried. Because most of the time Barcelona team fails to fight against Real Madrid.

Former Barcelona player Xavi has been with Barcelona for a long time as a player and is currently serving as the manager of Barcelona. Xavi, who has been with Barcelona for a long time, knows very well how to improve Barcelona. Barcelona have been doing well since he took over as manager. Xavi has played under Pep Guardiola for a long time so he should have learned well from Pep Guardiola and the lessons he is now imparting to the current Barcelona players. Maybe Barcelona will have their best time under him.

Sevilla didn't want to miss the opportunity to win their home game, and as a result they managed to secure 3 points. Having taken the lead in the 22nd minute and left behind at half-time, in the second half they managed to score 2 goals to ensure they won their home game. This is a good capital after last week they lost. Sevilla are much better now, especially if they are in the Europa League.

After having amazing last season now in this season they are fail to perform as expectations but still good because now tonight they are going to face Osasuna in copa del ray final with after few days they are going to host Manchester City for the first leg of Champions League semifinal which is also impressive they have no desire for going to end this season at second spot in La Liga because it's OK for them as they are going to end season at second or third, but better vision is winning in Champions League again.

After having injuries and few other issues they are still in good shape and if they are able to have few players which are under their radar things can change in next season as well because it's going to be interesting with top three teams in La Liga at same level for the title race and Real Madrid win against Manchester City could be amazing if they are able to win.

Xavi is very confident about his team Barcelona. Because after Xavi joined the team, he strengthened the team tremendously. Xavi added some new players to the team, and subsequently trained the players to great effect, making Barcelona one of the best teams in La Liga at the moment. It will be really sad news for Xavi if Barcelona fail to secure the title despite such a good performance.

Xavi repays the trust of the club which has given him the opportunity to become the main coach with a trophy. The Super Cup trophy has been successfully presented as the first score since being appointed as coach, soon Barcelona will celebrate their success in La Liga as well as being the second trophy that Xavi has presented to the club that has made his name big. Barcelona only needs one more victory to get a trophy, an additional 3 points makes Barcelona collect 85 points, this number certainly cannot be chased again by Atletico Madrid who are in second place.
Xavi's arrival has made a big difference in the Barcelona squad, his signing at the start of the season made a great contribution to the club. Lewandowski, Konde, Christensen, Raphinha and Alonso are the players Xavi brought in at the start of the season. Their presence has made big changes that have made Barcelona almost win the La Liga trophy this season.

There are so many strong teams in la liga and bundesliga. There's no need to compare any league caused by they have their own characteristic. I think that if you were not even watching it correctly.

It's better for you to read this article.

Lewandowski has been making so many record in bundesliga. Think about that. It seems like that you rarely watching bundesliga, right? Lewandowski's performance is not having a lot of differences when he came to the la liga.
He was able become the top scorer in la liga on his first season with barcelona. that's enough to prove if lewandowski is still a good striker while he gets even older from time to the time.

Benzema is almost surpassing lewandowski as top scorer in la liga right now. Benzem has less goals caused by he was facing injury during the early season.
