this week's matches were like a joke, Real Madrid lost against Girona with a score of 2-4 and Barcelona lost against Rayo with a score of 1-2.
I think the top teams when playing against teams that are far below them are like underestimating and ending in defeats for Real Madrid and Barcelona. it's really strange why when the top team meets the team below it, they always give a very bad performance and even almost lose without a goal, but in reality these two big teams still have a score, even if it's only a little.
for Barcelona it might not be a problem even in this week's match but for Real Madrid this is a threat that must be prepared to accept because Atletico Madrid has performed much better in La Liga than Real Madrid and Atletico is ready to shift Real Madrid's position.
I don't think I agree if it is said that Real Madrid and Barcelona underestimated their opponents in this week's defeat, but that's football, in reality not all matches played can always be won by your favorite team. I'm disappointed with Real Madrid's loss, maybe the same with Barcelona, but they fought to win it as best they could.
But whatever the result, I think towards the end of the season it's too risky to place bets on teams that are as close to the title as Barcelona. You would also imagine the same thing, it is also risky to get a bet on Real Madrid considering they are not too focused on La Liga.
For sure I lost the bet choosing Barcelona, but this is the sensation of the bet. we don't know what happened, even after going through a series of research and analysis. each result, is always determined when the game is played or after. but yes, the two matches that took place were beyond the expectations of the fans of each team.
Barcelona's defeat of Rayo, must be repeated. that way, in 4 meetings Barcelona was unable to win even a fight. At first I thought Barcelona would win the match and score at least two goals. in fact, Barcelona lost. if we review based on statistics, Barcelona controlled the game. in fact, they have several opportunities that are not far from Rayo. it's just that, in this match Barcelona's performance really played badly as a whole team. I will refer to some names like, Pedri, Balde, Kounde, who actually play Underperform. actually I doubt that if Perdri becomes the main starter, he should become a substitute player to adapt again to the rhythm of the game. Xavi's mistake, not playing Kessie as the main starter.
But by the way, going ups and downs is normal even though Barcelona is a stronger team than Rayo. on the contrary, so did Madrid's defeat the other day. Well, I think it's all natural, even Don Carlo or Xavi don't want their team to fall in that match.
