It wasn't a tough day for Atletico Madrid. Despite getting 1-0 behind they won 3-1 by a comeback. Maybe they lost to Barcelona last week but they didn't let this loss lose their concentration on the league. The league is all they have left for this season in the end so they want to finish the season at the best spot they can at least. Real Madrid looked like they have given up the rest of the matches already.

I see this as a chance for Atletico Madrid to take their spot in the standings. The gap is only two points now. I'm aware of the fact that finishing at the 2nd or 3rd spot won't change much thing because of qualifying for the Champions League anyway. However it is important for Simeone to finish at the best place possible. Because I think his seat isn't safe for him anymore. The general look of the season hasn't been good at all for the team. The board might think of making big changes from now on.

Ancelotti can be so unpredictable and full of tactics. I am seeing assuming  Madrid already know they can't compete any longer for the laliga title and they also know they have a gotten themselves a spot in the champions league for next season, there major focus now is qualifying for the Champions League finals as they have a very strong team to deal with. We might see more of Madrid's inconsistency until they have secured themselves that final spot in the champions league before their performance might boast up again.

Barcelona got one step closer to the championship by beating Atlético Madrid with a single goal over the weekend. Despite Lewandowski's formlessness, Barca are playing very good matches thanks to their great defensive stability and Ter Stegen's form. They also found opportunities to open up the difference in the Atlético fight. Busquets is suspended but Dembele and Christensen are likely to return.

Rayo Vallecano has only beaten Osasuna in the last five games. They got away from their first 7 aims. They are not a bad team in the home field, but I think it is difficult for them to resist against Barça with their faltering defense in almost every match. I guess the leader will win again.

It can be said that Real Madrid has no more hope in La Liga, and if you want to have a chance to win, you have to win against Girona, but unfortunately, they lost badly. Barcelona will be the candidate for La Liga champions this season. In the Copa del Rey, when Real Madrid make a mistake, it will make them lose again. At least they have to work well together to win in this match.

Yes, Real Madrid is not thinking about the chance to win La Liga anymore. Their inconsistency a few weeks ago made them farther and farther away from Barcelona. But in my opinion, even though he is no longer focused on La Liga, Ancelotti should also not let Madrid finish in third place. As much as possible, for the sake of maintaining the dignity of the club, Los Blancos must finish as runners-up. Now el real is only focused on the Copa del Rey and the Champions League. The remaining two competitions must be won by Madrid or at least they must win the Copa del Rey title.

Well, I think we can say that this was certainly a surprise for all of us. No one actually thought that they are going to be beaten by Girona, especially in this way. Some really bad defending from Real Madrid can be given credit for this result.

Honestly, in this match, the defending was almost nonexistent. Both of the teams have not been able to defend properly. And that have left so many goals to be scored in this match. Not gonna lie I absolutely expected a result which is quite opposite. Now I will leave if Atletico Madrid can win consistently Real Madrid will find it hard to stay in the second position.

Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona

I'm not sure, this fight will offer an interesting match or not. unique, considering that in the first match Rayo was able to hold Barcelona to a draw which ended with a score of 0-0. so in this match, it was a proving ground for Barcelona to prove to Rayo that currently Barcelona is stronger than at the start of the season.

Speaking of Rayo, currently the squad for Andoni Iraola's team is in an alarming performance. in their last 10 matches, they were only able to win 1 time, draw 4 times, lose the rest. in this match, the only player who will be absent is Radamel Falcau due to injury. while for Santi Comesana, he must be absent because of the score due to a red card.

Meanwhile, Barcelona will need full points to strengthen their position at the top of the standings. so, 3 points is the result they must win. it's just that, Xavi may not return to belittling the home team. because in 3 meetings against Rayo, Barcelona was never even able to win the fight. well, referring to the predicted line-up that Barcelona will lower. in this match, Busquet could not be played due to suspension, while the others were still injured. the good news, it looks like Perdi will be the main starter in this fight. So, can Pedri immediately appear with his best performance, or Xavi prefers Kessie as De Jong's partner.

By the way, if i refer to the available odds. apparently, betting on Barcelona with the 1×2 option is not so ideal. so, I will choose the Handicap option with  -0.75. I am quite optimistic, Barcelona will score at least 2 goals in this match.

It is the half-time break into the Atletico Madrid match. I thought Atletico Madrid was going to go into the break by trailing. But in the 47 minutes of the first half, Atletico Madrid was able to score. I can say one thing for sure.

After this goal being scored by Atletico Madrid, the half-time team talk is going to be very different from the manager. I see Atletico Madrid having a genuine chance to chase Real Madrid for the second position. I thought Atletico Madrid will probably have gone for the draw even in the 45th minute. But now the momentum has absolutely shifted

At the moment, Atletico Madrid is 1-1 at home against Mallorca, but we have already seen that that means nothing at all. Barcelona only conceded 9 goals in 30 games, then you have done well defensively, I can report. But Atletico madrid has also made an impression lately. Defending was once an art for this team, but it now seems that they have been looking to attack a bit more lately. They have started a good sprit and are now only 4 points behind Real Madrid. They also lost 4-2 yesterday and the opponent's player managed to score no less than 4 goals. Only Messi could do that in his good time against Real Madrid. Still a relief for Barcelona that they will take the title this year.

The match between Atletico and Mallorca is underway and it looks like this will be a win for Atletico at home. However, it is surprising that in head to head, Mallorca is far superior with 3 wins since 2021 and so far this season Atletico have still not been able to beat Mallorca.

Diego Simeone's men need to win this match to break their record defeat against Mallorca and with Real Madrid's defeat yesterday, everyone is certainly very motivated to catch Real Madrid back in the standings. I doubt that Atletico will be able to win this game and if Mallorca can score first it is likely that Atletico will find it difficult to catch up.

These two clubs don't have much difference, maybe that's what made them have to share points in this match. Both clubs did not create very dangerous opportunities that could have ended in a goal. Real Betis, who acted as the host, could control the match more, but they could not develop the game any better, on the other hand, Real Sociedad also experienced that, they also could not develop their game so they could create even better opportunities.

Madrid have lost two of their last five matches. If Barcelona win their next match, they will move 14 points clear of Real Madrid. And closing this point gap is impossible for Real Madrid. Ancelotti has no interest in this season's La Liga title. He realizes he cannot break Barcelona's dominance in La Liga this season. And so Real Madrid aims to perform well in Copa del Rey and Champions League. Let's see if the team can win the Copa del Rey and Champions League titles.

In today's match of the Spanish League, Real Betis vs Real Sociedad, two teams came to the field to play. The match was drawn due to the quality of the players of both teams. Neither team could score any goals.  There was no goal on the site. Both teams shared the points. Real Sociedad could not score any goal after taking 3 shots on target in the whole game. However, the match saw a lot of hard fighting.

Barcelona always play better than Real Madrid.  Real Madrid will have a lot of work to do to match Barcelona.  But Real Madrid is also a very good team.  Real Madrid are second in the La Liga points table.  Barcelona can be considered as the La-Liga champion team this season. Barcelona is number one in the La Liga points table.  Every player in Barcelona is very responsible and they can always give the best

Indeed, it looks like Real Madrid don't want to continue La Liga title race because also they are far behind Barcelona. Yeah is expected they should be able to focus on the Champions League, because their opponents are really tough at there, but loss against Girona was quite worrying. They conceded four score although Real Madrid also can get two score, I'm afraid Haaland can do it too. Yes Castellanos, this man is awesome, although he is on loan from New York City, but he is giving his best for Girona.

I think that you shall try to put your focus into the lineup that being used by real madrid. It's not even an embarrassing result for ancellotti. If ancellotti has been letting la liga to be achieved by barcelona and real madrid needs to focus into another trophy that is still possible to be got by real madrid.
Madrid was playing without several important players. Ancelotti is trying to keep them all become very healthy when the match against manchester city will be coming soon. Just because real madrid didn't play seriously against girona and it doesn't mean real madrid was bad.
There is another important mission compared to winning against girona. It's to make sure all of the key players in real madrid will be having full stamina to face manchester city soon.
The next match gonna be another epic match for this season. that's why ancelotti has been making full preparation for the match against city. Ancellotti didn't wanna waste the resource to win against girona.

This is very painful, how can Real Madrid, who is in second place in the standings, be defeated by Girona, who is almost in the relegation zone, I see from every previous game, Girona mostly always get bad results. However, yes this actually happened. To be honest I was a bit disappointed with Real Madrid, I thought the gods of luck would easily win the game against Girona and it turned out to be far from what I expected. Yes, that's right, Real Madrid should be able to win this match, at least Real Madrid has the opportunity to get further away from Atletico's pursuit.

For me, it's not about prioritizing other tournaments and not about catching Barcelona and then Real Madrid being so weak in La Liga. To be honest, if Real Madrid loses, let's accept the defeat and not seek self-defense by prioritizing other tournaments, so when Real Madrid loses, I think I admit Real Madrid was bad in that match because Real Madrid lost badly by a mediocre team.

But indeed, I also understand that there are other tournaments where Real Madrid must put a high focus on the Copa del Rey and also on the Champions League. But with Real Madrid still having another focus besides La Liga, this shouldn't make Real Madrid so weak and lose so embarrassingly in La Liga.

Iaa am not trying to underrated Girona but I wouldn't believe they could stir up such wave against Madrid in such an early hour. Just under 25 minutes it was already 2 goals for Girona. It was quite an embarrassing moment for Carlo Anceloty.  This disappointment is the more reason I am not going to put any top leading clubs from any league in my ticket cus I sure know that teams around the relegation zone are coming up with more surprises. Today game would have been a bonus point for FCB but for the aforementioned reasons, I will not look into it cuz I know Vallecano is capable of something g today.
.

Real Madrid's defeat will be a hot topic this week and indeed this defeat is very difficult to accept, especially since Real Madrid lost to a team whose position was quite far below them. Surely this is the worst defeat for Ancelotti's squad, moreover they were defeated through 4 goals scored by one Girona player, namely Valentín Castellanos. However, Real Madrid had wanted to catch up through goals from Vini and Vasquez, it's just that the number of goals to equalize was still lacking and the match closed with a score of 4-2 for Girona's victory at home. Even though in the previous week Atletico lost to Barcelona and this match should have been an opportunity to gain full points for Real Madrid to keep away from Atletico's pursuit. But it seems Real Madrid is not playing well and they have to correct the mistakes that exist for the next match later.
