Barcelona were very complacent against Girona today which resulted in a goalless draw for them. They actually had so many goal attempts but they weren't much good at finding the target.

They are already very comfortable for winning the La Liga title so this isn't a big deal. But I'm pretty sure so many bettors lost their bets on Barcelona. I prefer not to bet on these teams when they even get close to announcing their title in their league. Because there isn't a big motivation source for them to put a huge effort into the other games left. They will win the title anyway even if they lose points a couple of times.
Barcelona looks confused without de jong in the middle , busquets underperfom and gavi seems working alone while sergi roberto played it poorly. Not much ball supply to lewandowski and that's the problem for me , they failed this time to add more gap with real madrid.

Still 13 points is a lot to catch , bad performance too much unecessary passes made.
Well, the forwards have also let Barcelona down. Lewandowski looked weak, frankly weak, Rafinha tried to create something, but failed. In addition, the goalkeeper of Girona pulled out even dead balls, and even players of his team tried to score to him but couldn't.
Girona goalkeeper did the best what he can and if it wasn't for him, Barcelona would have scored 1 or 2 goals for sure. On the last corner Gavi was close to bring 3 points to Barcelona, but the goalkeeper made some crazy save and left Girona in the game.

Bookmakers were giving odds of 6 or so on the draw, I think the bet that Girona would not lose was with odds of at least 3-4. So maybe some Girona fans were well rewarded on this day.

There is a sign that Barcelona will definitely embrace this la Liga league title, because they have defeated so many strong teams in this season that made people to see them as a team that is on a solid ground to make their fans happy. Girona plan in this match is to reduce Barcelona points but Barcelona never allow such thing to happen than to made their defense more stronger for Girona strikers not to have access to their goalpost. Barcelona really experienced some challenge in their midfield that made them to draw the match with Girona 0-0 draw at the end of the match.

Barcelona draw against Girona was unexpected for me. I thought they were trying to literally kill the title competition and declare themselves champions before many rounds but they postponed or exactly delayed it.
So far Barcelona have 13 points difference from Real Madrid so they have to win in the next 4 rounds out of 10 to get the title earlier.

I can't understand Barcelona. In Camp Nou, they have to win such important matches by a margin, but for some reason they have to leave with a draw. They are not as good at scoring goals as they used to be. However, teams have a goal machine like Lewandowski. They could not take advantage of the opportunity given by Real Madrid.

Barcelona had more than 18 goal attempts but only 3 shots on goal during the whole match, this show clearly that xavi squad wasn't focused on this matc, maybe because players are frustrated after the elimination from cupa del Rey by real Madrid in a humiliating way
Not a reason that makes sense in my opinion, because if the defeat in the Copa del Rey really affected them then how can they survive in the intense competition, Barca are only lucky because they already have a big difference in points and are increasingly benefiting after their competitors lost the match against Villarreal so they don't add points to Madrid.

I only see this as a careless attitude from Barca because the result of the Madrid vs Villarreal match made them even more comfortable at the top of the standings, from the remaining 10 matches is it possible to expect Barca to lose 5x so that Madrid can catch up? I think it's impossible so with this fact Barça let their guard down a little or they don't stick around even though it's unacceptable and I don't think that's what happened, and the advantage is far enough to reduce the tightness of competition.

Even though Barcelona did play quite well. but still I'm a little disappointed with this draw. I thought at first Barcelona would win easily enough for this one match. but it turns out that Girona managed to hold Barcelona to a draw in this match. a draw might indeed be good enough for Girona. because at least they got 1 point in this fight. but to be honest this week there are really a lot of matches that are difficult to predict. not only in Laliga but also in other competitions.
Barcelona missed the chance to move 15 points clear of second place Real Madrid, with ten games left to play. They were very confident they’d win Girona and they refused to put in enough effort to deliver. However the result is unlikely to have a major impact on the title race, with Barcelona still 13 points ahead of Real Madrid. If Barcelona can get back on track, and start winning games again, and they can clinch the title with four games left, regardless of Real Madrid’s end of season form.
yeah right. at least the draw against Girona didn't really have much effect on Barcelona's current position. because the difference in points with Real Madrid is also still quite safe. but in the next matches I think Barcelona still have to try to win. to keep the gap between points with Real Madrid still far away. Real Madrid at this time their focus is indeed divided with the match in the UCL. even Real Madrid really didn't play optimally against Villareal and Real Madrid had to drop points this week. and this is what keeps Barcelona safe even though they only get a draw against Girona. and yes the title is already there in front of the eyes for Barcelona.

Even though they managed to dominate the game throughout the match, Barcelona had difficulty dismantling the Girona defense which put up a total defensive tactic. This draw made Barcelona fail to win their last two consecutive matches in all competitions because previously Barcelona were also humiliated by Real Madrid 4-0 in the second leg semifinal of the Copa del Rey which was held at Camp Nou.
Even though they were only able to draw against Girona, Barcelona's position at the top of the standings is still safe. There is a 13-point difference that still gets in the way between first and second positions, this distance could be the reason Xavi doesn't mind too much about the draw against Girona.

This result indeed won't be affect for Barcelona position on standings league because they still have 13 points above to Real Madrid but this result could be so dissapoint for the bettors because mostly they put their money on Barcelona before however about the match Barcelona has got plenty of opportunities to scores goals from Raphinha, Lewandowski or Araujo but unfortunately these players can't convert that into goals

But besides that i think full credit should be given to Girona goalkeeper Gazzaniga because he has made several crucial save which makes Barcelona players looks frustrate because they even cannot made at least 1 goal from 18 total of shots and this result is good for Girona because at least they didn't lose from big team

This is one of the reasons I detest placing bets on a club that has a lot of points ahead of other clubs in their league table. They will decide not to give all of their efforts into the games they should win.
Many football bettors lose this particular game (Barcelona vs. Girona) to their betting because they think Barcelona should win because they are at home.
A point addition is better than none. Girona will be happy about this daw they have with Barcelona at their home

I feel you! Cheesy I really feel you and the worst is when you are even watching the game and would like throw something after the players who only give 70% and accept that draw and you can even see it in minute 30. Cheesy

But as you said I stopped betting on those games a while ago. If there is no skin in the game, anything can happen. A bit like Real Madrid losing against Villareal and some people were surprised. I wasn't surprised. Real Madrid already let the La Liga title go and to be honest, it is the right thing to do when you can still play for the Champions League and the Copa del Rey titles.

That's true and i consider betting on this type of matches as a big mistake, real Madrid seems very weak in la Liga and Barcelona already got the title in my opinion so there is no point that one of theme will put many efforts to win a match in la Liga, i prefer betting on arsenal then Barcelona or real Madrid because they still have big motivations to win

Betting on Barcelona's win today is very risky especially since they seem so comfortable at the top of the table. Barcelona didn't seem too motivated to win the match against Girona as they had already been many points ahead of Real Madrid. I think draw seems very likely for this match, but there is still time to see how they end this match. If Barcelona draw, they will create a gap of 13 points with Real Madrid, while if they win they will gain a gap of 15 points.
this match ended 0-0, no goals occurred in this match even though barcelona was able to make 18 shots and 3 on target but the slick performance from Gazzaniga was able to dispel some of the opportunities in my opinion it was quite good what he did in their situation under strong pressure by barcelona in this fight. Lewandowski failed to take advantage of the opportunity to increase his goal coffers in this match even though he had 4 good enough opportunities but his shot was not completed well enough. With this draw, Barcelona is still quite safe at the top of the standings with a point difference with Real Madrid being 13 points.

Girona took advantage of this situation quite well to get 1 point away from home which is good enough for them. for the upcoming match Girona will face Elche I think this is a good opportunity for them to improve their ranking in the standings table.

Atletico madrid won away to Vallecano and increased their points to 57.They won the match with consecutive goals in the first half.We can say that they started to play more comfortably in the second half with the opponent down to 10 men.
In the last match of the week, Barcelona hosted Girona at home.The match ended in a goalless draw, while Barcelona increased their points to 72 and increased their point difference with real Madrid to 13.For them, these point losses are not very important because they do not need to worry too much because real Madrid lost against Villareal this week.It was Barcelona who played better at home but they could not take advantage of their goal positions.

Girona supporters will be proud of their team but not very happy because if some of their players had made good use of the opportunity they had and in some cases try not to be stingy, they would have won this game. Valentin Castellanos had a very good chance and had a player to support him, if only he just passed the ball! Barcelona had many of their very good attempts saved by the Paulo Gazzaniga the Girona goalkeeper, he should be the Man of the Match. This game is another failed attempt for Lewandoski to increase the number of goals for this season.
Girona fans was happy about the results because it's not an easy task to shared points with the bluagrana in Camp Nou. The visitors did portrayed an excellent performance and they got a better results which they value. The usual thing happen on the pitch, Barcá dominythe game fulltime and Sergio Busquets performing high standard in the game, a playmaker with good additional passes in the game. Barcá had a good goal scoring chances but they misused their opportunities, while the visitors struggle to melt down pressure from the home team.

Yes Girona is lucky to be able to draw against Barcelona even though it should be an easy win for Barcelona when playing at home
I don't understand why Barcelona has difficulty to score they control the match and make some shots unfortunately there are no goal
Is it because Madrid lost yesterday so Barcelona thinks 1 point today is enough? I mean they are comfortable with a difference of 13 points.

Well, this is a big achievement for Girona because at least they were one of the 3 clubs that managed to block Barcelona from full points because seeing this condition seemed quite unbelievable when Barcelona had quite a hard time breaking into the foundations of Girona's defence.
Barcelona's lack of maximum finishing made them a little hampered. On the other hand, the performance of the Girona goalkeeper was also quite good because there were several opportunities, including blunders by their defenders, but Gazzaniga's alertness was quite good in this match.

Is it because Madrid lost yesterday so Barcelona thinks 1 point today is enough?

A team like Girona draw a match with Barcelona even 0-0 it is a big achievement for them. The quality of Barcelona's game is very bad in this match.  Barcelona has nothing to do with Real Madrid.  So 1 point is never enough for Barcelona.  No team ever wants to play poorly in a match.  So Barcelona didn't do it on purpose either. However, despite getting less points in this match, Barcelona is still 13 points ahead of Real Madrid. But such a game cannot be expected from Barcelona

Looking at the performance of both teams tonight, I don't think the game was up to the expectation of football fans because 0:0 scoreline is a very bad game for the bettors who saw Barcelona as the big team to win against Girona but they failed to get the 3 points. Of course Girona will be excited to have shared a point with Barca while Xavi and his men will be disappointed because not getting more gap against his opponent Real Madrid opens more chances for competition in the League nll.
