No, Barcelona couldn't win the match as easily as previously thought. Getafe is very good at defending its defensive area when Barcelona attacks. Barcelona struggled to find space to score even though Lewandowski and Raphinha appeared to provide a number of threats. Getafe did very well to save Barcelona's many goal chances in that game, but I was so tired of having to play like that for 90 minutes.
Barcelona deserved a win over Getafe for whatever reason, but Xavi's plans for the game didn't pan out. Therefore, Xavi began to be demanded to bring Barcelona back to win the next match, but it will be a difficult match because Barcelona will face Atletico Madrid.
For some reason Barcelona seems to have trouble scoring in the last 2 matches even though the opponent is not a strong opponent
Was it because they were in a safe zone that they underestimated their opponent? on the other hand Robert Lewandowski is still competing in the list of top scorers meaning he will have to score more goals to leave Benzema in 2nd place. Barcelona  next match will be against Atletico , will it end in a draw?
So you know Atlético Madrid is a very in shape team, even the results of their victory in the last games were quite good. They are playing a consistent game and I would say they have been playing even better than Barcelona lately. I am close for the draw, it will not be easy for Barcelona. If they get a defeat in this match, Barcelona's self-confidence will be shaken and the points will decrease to single digits. It seems to me that they will go back and look for a lot of points lost in these past weeks.

BITCOIN4X, I am seriously concerned about the attacking of Barcelona. Honestly also a little concerned about the finishing as well. They are not winning the matches that they should be. Yes, I know they are ahead on the table in terms of points. But that does not give them the freedom to do anything yet, right?

They will still have to make sure that they are winning the La Liga title convincingly. The next match is certainly going to be very hard. Atlético Madrid is not going to be an easy opponent to beat. Let’s see if Barcelona can win that match by the way.

I come with great news from Barcelona right now. Dembele, Pedri and De Jong have returned to training together at Joan Gamper's Ciutat Esportiva following Barcelona's second draw in the last two weeks. This good news will certainly make Barcelona fans have hope again because the match that is waiting for is very tough where Atletico Madrid is the opponent. While in the last news, Sergi Roberto suffered a hamstring injury which will likely miss the home match against Atletico Madrid.

If these three players return on time and are ready for the match against Atletico Madrid, then I believe Barcelona's performance will return to good form even though they failed to score a single goal in the last 3 matches. But regardless of the result of the match against Getafe, Xavi seems to be still satisfied with that 1 point because Xavi realizes that dismantling Getafe's defense is not an easy task as he said during the pre-match press conference.

PREVIEW | Getafe v FC Barcelona

Quote
"Getafe normally play with a 5-man defence and that makes things much harder. And they're very physical and that makes them hard to beat in their stadium, especially because they are playing for survival. We need to win because there are still a lot of games left to play if we are going to win this league."

Sure he has to overcome it, but we will need to see whether he is like Benzema and can come back again despite his age, or whether his general performance level decreased. ....
.
It's undeniable that Lewandowski doesn't seem as strong as he used to be, or maybe he doesn't get many chances. Especially in the last two matches where Barcelona have always been drawn without any goals. The last time Lewi scored a goal was when Barcelona won against Elche he was able to contribute with his 2 goals. Maybe recently Barcelona's performance as a whole has been declining. Luckily they still have a significant difference in the number of points so that this drawn result is not too problematic for Barcelona in general. However, the performance seems to have decreased significantly.

I was really surprised by the match between Valencia and Sevilla. Valencia held two-thirds of possession for the entire match. Even then, Valencia could not score any goals and could not attack much of anything. On the other hand, Sevilla's attack created great chances and managed to score two goals. The match needed a Valencia victory as the standard of play.
valencia only dominated ball possession but they didn't have an effective attack, it was clear to see because of the 3 shots on goal they made, none of them became goals, while for sevilla they successfully completed all the opportunities that existed and from 3 shots on goal they made, 2 of which became goals. sevilla getting further away from the relegation zone.
Valencia had the possession but the struggled to break into Sevilla's defense. The were having good short from outside the box but none went near the post, we also saw eager they were to play penalty on two occasions. Sevilla were able to create good chances for themselves. They had better communication on the skill than Valencia, the two goals scored against Valencia showed how poor they were to defend a game they were possessing.

Valenica's track record of consecutive losses in matches is alarming, the last one they had with Sevilla, I did not watch it but the outcome did not surprise me. Instead of focusing on their shortcomings, Valencia's spokesperson is engaging in an unprofessional altercation with the referee, very bad in my opinion.

On a lowkey, Valencia is good but their performance was only outstanding in the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey tournaments that have even ended. They have consistently placed between 10th and 15th in Lalilag (the Spanish league) over the past five years. It is possible that this season could result in their relegation, with an opportunity for further training.

It is weird to see that Barcelona hasn't scored a single goal in the last three matches. Now against Real Madrid they got destroyed, but in La Liga not scoring at all is bad also for the other teams. That comes even close to a distortion of the competition. I think that Lewandowski is past his peak. 17 goals in 29 games is an average performance especially when you play for Barcelona. He does have seven assists as well and that might still make him valuable, but I am sure that more was expected from him. They are out of the Copa and no more international tournaments and then I would expect that they take responsibility and play the best they can. Even the La Liga title is only average when they keep playing like this. It is not fun to watch their games at all these days. Their defense is great of course, but scoring less than two goals on average per game is weak.
Recently, Lewandowski seems to have difficulty scoring goals even though he has had many golden opportunities to score goals. I think he will have to overcome this drop in performance in the upcoming matches because Barcelona need a win to strengthen their position as a laliga Trophy winning team.

Two draws are still safe enough for Barcelona but they have to focus in the future to find a win to get back to winning ways because Barcelona only has one hope of winning a trophy, namely La Liga.

The next opponent for Barcelona is Atletico Madrid, where recently they have been performing quite well in the Laliga by recording consecutive wins.

Sure he has to overcome it, but we will need to see whether he is like Benzema and can come back again despite his age, or whether his general performance level decreased. Nothing better could have happened to again play in a team that is tailored to assist him in scoring goals. That is why I think his number of goals scored is really low or not frequent enough. He hasn't been deciding games for quite a while now. That is what makes Benzema different. He scores the impossible goals despite his age and frankly speaking, I didn't think that Benzema will come back like this.

a very significant drop in performance occurred in the Barcelona team in the last 2 weeks but that didn't really make the Barcelona team falter at the top of the standings because their competitor Real Madrid who is in second place is also very inconsistent, so if you look at the points advantage Barcelona is still very comfortable at the top standings.

but if you look at the quality of this team I'm sure they will be able to get up, especially since Barcelona will only focus on La Liga matches after they were eliminated in other tournaments.
The draw that Barcelona got in the last match did not threaten their position at the top of the standings because so far they are 11 points ahead of Real Madrid. However there are a few things to highlight, that the loss of a creative midfielder in the squad has made it difficult for Xavi to rotate players, thus impacting the results of their last two games. It's not just the fight for the La Liga title and it's not Real Madrid who is in second place as a challenger, but Xavi should be more focused on La Liga because they don't have any other competition.

Xavi must maximize the remaining matches to get full points and the next match will be against Atletico Madrid, this match will be much more difficult than the previous match because Atletico Madrid are in perfect condition in La Liga. Defeat in this match will make the mentality of the players decrease, so that it will have an impact on the next match.

Their defense is great of course, but scoring less than two goals on average per game is weak.
Usually when Barcelona is like this there is Pedri who is always the differentiator and gives goals for Barcelona when other players cannot do it but when Pedri is not in the squad they are like a dead end.
They have a lot of chances in the 3 matches they have run (2 La Liga & 1 Copa Del Rey) but their on target is quite bad which makes it very difficult for them to convert chances into goals.
Maybe the coach thought that only relying on Robert Lewandowski in the position of the attacking team was enough to score goals, but in reality, until the last half, Robert Lewandowski was unable to score, even though he had tried several times up to 15 attempts to shoot at goal but could not score at all. Xavi must consider a better strategy and must not let the score always draw.
I don't think so, the conditions are a bit unfavorable for Xavi because indeed some of their core players cannot play for now due to some not being fit so indeed they can only maximize some of the existing players while creating several opportunities for other young players to gain trust and minutes play. When the players come back everything will go back to the way it was I think because it's impossible for Xavi to also continue to give chances when they still want certain things for La Liga.

This Sunday there is going to be a really lovely match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in Camp Nou.

However I'm not sure if this match would be very exciting to watch. Because it is like both of these teams are comfortable in the league from now on. Barcelona are running to become the league champions and Atletico Madrid are most probably going to finish the season at the third position at worst. But who knows maybe the teams would still like to do their best as it is one of the significant matches of the league. Atletico Madrid are in a wonderful form these days therefore I wonder if we can see the same ambition in this match also. Barcelona have started to get goalless draws recently so maybe they might not win this one also.

La Liga matches are now more competitive than ever. I will see Barcelona as the best because they are far ahead in points. On the other hand, expect the Real Madrid team to return to their best form anytime.
Truth be told, Barcelona has performed wonderfully more than expected in this season and because of their performance it has become almost impossible for their strongest and closet rival Real Madrid from taking over their position eleven once since the season begin some months ago, unlike in the other league premier league where Asernal is already at the verge of losing their positions to Manchester city with just 1 point and haven't drawn their last weekend match. But Barcelona has not lost any match in recent time and the gap between them and Real Madrid is wide enough to sustain them till the final stage of the tournament but we can not ascertain if Barcelona will finish this season topping and carrying the trophy since the defending club have failed to outperform Barcelona.

But then Real Madrid is a strong club and I believe that in the dying minutes, real Madrid can still outperform Barcelona even though that look impossible,  but the possibility is also there judging from Real Madrid's previous performances.

Indeed, Barcelona should have won easily in their last two matches. However, sometimes the Blaugrana have a very difficult time only in terms of scoring goals and this is quite evident in last month's match, which was only able to win with a 1 goal advantage.

However, if this continues, it will become a problem in the future for Barcelona and as coach Xavi must be able to provide a strategy or tactic that is on point so that his players can score goals more easily. For Lewandowski, even though his sharpness has so far decreased, he is still the temporary top scorer in La Liga this season with 17 goals.

Real Madrid now have 62 points, but this does not change anything significantly, to win back the difference of 11 points in 9 rounds is too difficult a task. Barcelona are losing points for the second round in a row, I don’t know if we can talk about a decline, because they play well, they still dominate, but they can’t score. Real Madrid should have won the game against Villarreal, in previous round, to increase their chances, but the gap is still very significant, so Barcelona have nothing to worry about.
Yes, you are right, the opportunity that Madrid should have taken advantage of was against Villarreal, if at that time you could get full points, maybe you would have a very small difference in points with Barcelona, but unfortunately Madrid had to lose points, 2 matches in a row, Barcelona could only pick up one point. with a draw, but the distance between Madrid and Barcelona is 11 points, and that means it is still far away.

There are still 9 matches left in this season and it is very difficult for Madrid to catch up with Barcelona by 11 points, if Barcelona plays consistently in the remaining 9 matches with lots of wins of course there is no hope for Madrid to win the league this season, the only hope is focus in the hunt for the UCL where currently Madrid is also focusing on qualifying for the CL semifinals.  Wink
I would guess that if they won against Barcelona as well, that would have been even better because Barcelona loses 3 points while Madrid gets it, and then the Villareal on top of that where Barcelona got 1 and Madrid would have gotten 2, that's like 5 points covered in a matter of just two games.

All in all the whole season was a terrible one for them and that's just not going to be enough to keep saying this game or that game because the whole season was bad for Madrid, we just have to accept that they did not do as well as previous years. I am guessing that next year some things will change and they will have a better season than this year, not saying they will win, but I am sure they will have more points next season than this season.

Celta vs Mallorca

According to the odds i can see Celta is the favourite but i have no wonder because recently they can able to managed their positive results and being unbeatable in the last 6 matches but Mallorca condition also not quite bad because at least they can earn 2 points in the last 2 matches and Mallorca really required more points than Celta because they only have 7 difference points with the team in the relegation zone so if Mallorca can at least stole point today they will makes their positions will be more secured

Celta still unable to played their main goalkeeper Agustin Marchesin because of injured but it doesn't matter because Celta 2nd goalkeeper Ivan Villar can performing well so far and besides Marchesin i didn't see any other players on the injured list and for Mallorca their conditions doesn't really good because at least they will losing 3 players who got injured and 2 players who got suspension such as Jose Copete and Jaume Costa

Mallorca conditions is very unfavourable because the players who unable to played today is mostly their key players and the opposite conditions which we got from Celta because their players had good fitness to starting this match and after seeing this factor i think Celta had good chances to be the winner of this match and Celta win has odds @1.81
I think Celta Vigo will not lose in this match, they have 7 unbeaten streaks in last 7 matches La Liga, and they deserve to be favourites. I'm sure the home team can definitely continue their good trend, although also previously Mallorca could beat Celta Vigo, but Celta Vigo gameplay at there wasn't too bad, they are a little dominated at there although they were playing away. Tonight they will play at home and that is an advantage for them, so my opinion for this match is same as you Celta vigo had good chances to be winner tonight.

Two games without scoring for barcelona team, they wasted four points on easy games but thanks to the huge lead they have it was not important but i assume a lot of gamblers lost money because of that it seems that by securing the title already the players are going easy and their games are high stakes anymore which is why the performance downgraded xavi need a solution to motivate his players.
This games should have been easy game for Barcelona to get  full points  to add to their points but they missed it, it is not funny for Barcelona to keep on losing to teams that is suppose to  be an advantage to them. For sometimes Lewandowski has been finding it so difficult to score goals.

The only last La Liga match today will bring together the host Celta Vigo who will host Mallorca as their guest. Maybe this will be quite an exciting match because in the first meeting this season Mallorca was able to beat Celta Vigo with a narrow score. On the other hand, these two teams have the same record in the last two matches by getting a draw.

Maybe this meeting will be revenge for Celta Vigo who lost the previous meeting and I think Mallorca will still attack from the start. My prediction though is a bit difficult and hoping for a draw, I think Celta Vigo will win with a score of 2-1.

Well, it looks like Celta Vigo and Mallorca have the same chance and that means both of them can get points in this match. Because yes, I don't think Mallorca will allow Celta Vigo to continue moving up for its position in the table, and since they only have a two-point gap then I believe Mallorca will be able to hold Celta Vigo.

Because if based on head to head, it looks like the two of them have a record that might be quite even too, plus their results so far this season, the fact that Celta Vigo isn't too good when playing at home. So yes, a draw for this match is the final result that looks like it might happen.
A draw might still happen if the two teams don't attack too brutally. But if the stakes are 3 points sure it will boost Celta Vigo to secure a win at home. Despite Celta Vigo's lack of results at home, I think they will take this opportunity to improve their record. But Mallorca, whose position is now only 2 points away from Valladolid who previously beat Villarreal, certainly does not want next week to drop into a bad position if they fail to win in this match.
La Liga matches are now more competitive than ever. I will see Barcelona as the best, because they are far ahead in points. On the other hand, expect the Real Madrid team to return to their best form anytime.

Even though I already have a big advantage with Real Madrid, I'm not very happy with Barcelona's current performance. They look too relaxed and no longer playing the game like they should.

Xavi should not have allowed that to happen, the target of winning in every remaining match must be achieved again. Of course it will be very special for the Blaugrana if they are able to win the championship with a large difference in points from their main rival.
