Maybe Atletico Madrid have made a really good progress to secure their position in top four but I don't think they are very safe now. The balances can change anytime depending on how good Real Sociedad and Betis will be in the rest of the season. But after watching Real Sociedad for many weeks I have lost my belief in them significantly to catch up with Atletico Madrid. It started to seem like Atletico Madrid will secure the third position for themselves and the last position for the Champions League will be between Real Sociedad and Betis.

About the last position I'm favouring Betis. I think they have more potential than Real Sociedad if they keep up a decent form. It is easy to close a gap of three points for them in that case.
Atletico are in good shape, but it is true that they are not completely safe because they have not too much gap. They should not pin their hopes on the competing team to get sub-optimal results. But they have to stand on their own feet so they can continue to be in their current position until the end of the season. They have that ability and they should be able to do well. Atletico Madrid is a team that has always been in the Champions League zone.

Even though Atletico only have a three-point gap with Real Sociedad, but I personally am very confident that Atletico will still be able to end this season in third place. Because Real Sociedad and also Betis do not have good stability in their performance in every match, this factor makes it difficult for Real Sociedad and Betis to compete for third place.

Therefore, I think there will be competition for fourth place and the two teams will be Real Sociedad and Betis, because Atletico will be able to focus on locking in third until the end of the season.

Barcelona is not a completely stable team so far. And so this season we did not play better than the Barcelona team in the platform of Champions League and Europa League. From the beginning of the season, the only goal of the Barcelona team was the La Liga title. And in La Liga they have been able to continue to perform well in every match. Barcelona's performance in La Liga is stable. And against their main rival Real Madrid, Barcelona team also performed well. It is expected that the Barcelona team will become stronger in the coming season.
Yes, Barcelona didn't start the season well, but they were able to spot gaps and make the most of La Liga matches well. Their elimination from the Champions League and Europa League means they haven't been able to perform at a high level.

But thanks to Xavi's expertise, they are now able to prove their capacity in La Liga. Being 12 points ahead of their rivals and also being able to tame Real Madrid is something special for Barcelona. Ending the season with the title of La Liga champion is the perfect ending for the Blaugrana. I also believe that next season Barcelona will be able to talk a lot at the European level and will also dominate the domestic league even more if there are no problems for the Catalan club.

Actually, Barcelona didn't start the season well because Barcelona started working with Xavi just a few weeks ago he just needed to have some more time to use his tactics for the team, to be honest after Xavi joined Barcelona I had no hope because he had no experience with European teams and the only performance he had was in Asian teams but he surprised us and how even the great Ancelotti can't beat him.

Looks like Barca might start next season in Segunda
Whooops  Roll Eyes
It's interesting how clubs that were pro-Superleague new dealing with all kinds of problems.
Don't think it's a coincidence.

What do you mean?
Did Barcelona experience a serious problem until it was dropped to the Segunda?
Segunda is a lower caste in Spain and I'm really not sure and/or don't understand what you mean, about how Barcelona will play in Segunda next season? Because after all, if there is a sanction then I'm not sure Barcelona will be dropped that low.

If you know clearer information then say so, because if you don't get any information and you say that then clearly it is wrong and bad information.

Real Madrid are a really impressive team to tell the truth. I mean yeah maybe their chance of becoming the La Liga champions this season is very low. But I mean a different thing. They don't have a poor season that easy even if they make manager changes. Zidane had an amazing run for a couple of years with them. And now we are watching Ancelotti doing a great work in the same way. They won the La Liga and Champions League titles both in the previous season for example.
They have a chance ahead to win the Champions League title two times in a row as well. For example Barcelona isn't like this. They had a horrible period with Koeman but now they are much better with Xavi compared to that time.
Real Madrid a very fortunate to have an experienced coach like Carlo Ancelotti. When other clubs were busy scrambling for players during the transfer window, I was surprised that Real Madrid was not part of the rush. Coach Ancelotti said he was comfortable with his current squad. And currently, the team is performing very well not minding the point gap between Barca and them. Even with the injury woes of Benzema other younger strikers like Rodrygo and Vini Jnr have not disappointed.
It has been a disappointing season for Barcelona regarding European football but winning La Liga will be a worthy consolation.
The word "worthy consolation"  to me is an understatement. u already making it look like la liga isn't a title. La liga is the second most toughest competition in all football leagues. Barcelona winning the la lig is a very big achievement.  No doubt, they were knocked out of the the champion league but it doesn't mean they are frustrated
Barcelona is still doing very well if not, they would be kicked out by Madrid before now.
For Barcelona, ​​I think La Liga is more important than the European league.  That's why I think they give more importance to the league.  At the moment, the difference of 12 points between them and Real puts them in the position of the biggest favorites of the championship.  I think Barcelona will undoubtedly have achieved an important success with the La Liga championship.
For a club as big as Barcelona, being able to win more competitions is much more important. They lost from Manchester United in the Europa League, that's something real to accept. There's no reason to say the competition wasn't important, that's why they lost
We can see Real Madrid last season, they win the UCL and Laliga in one season. It's an achievement, and Barcelona want it too

ATM is one of the best teams in Europe now quality-wise. It's a shame they were so bad pre-WC.

Which three teams will be in the relegation zone is still completely uncertain. However, Elche does not see any chance of getting out of the relegation zone. They are the last team in the points table. Only 13 points in 26 games. And their performance is very poor. However, Valencia and Almeria have a chance to climb out of the relegation zone if they perform well and win a few matches. Valencia is only 3 points behind Getafe in 13th place in the table. If a team can win 2/3 matches in a row then I think they can move to a safe distance from the relegation zone.

Only a miracle could save Elche at this stage. They need at the very least 14 points to get out of the relegation zone, which is almost impossible taking into account the few matches remaining. But, among the other teams, getting downgraded to second division is a total lottery: there are so many clubs with the same points or just a few points of difference between them and the required ones for the relegation that it can just be any of them. Every draw, every loss, will count.

Speaking of Elche, they were only promoted to Laliga in the 20/21 season and even then they had to fight hard to survive the following season. However, what has happened in the current season is that they are in the bottom position of the standings and it seems they can't be helped anymore. They are having a very difficult season compared to some of the teams that are at the bottom but they cannot improvise which makes them finally have to be willing to be in their current position. What an unlucky fate to be gotten by Elche, I hope they can come back later.

Based on Real Madrid performance in this season, I don't think they will win this la Liga league title because Barcelona coach is doing some positive things that will make them to maintain the first position till the end of the tournament. Many people predicted for the favour of Real Madrid to defeat Barcelona 2-0 in the first leg but Barcelona turned the match in the second half to their favour to defeated Real Madrid 2-1. I think, there is a big hope for Barcelona to defeat Real Madrid in the second leg because they will use the first leg advantage to silent their performance in this match.
Real Madrid's performance against Barcelona was not bad.  Real Madrid went ahead by scoring first. Although that goal was a suicide goal. But later, before the second half, Barcelona scored to equalize the team. But later Real Madrid scored another goal which was disallowed for offside. Later, coming to the very last moment of the game, Barcelona scored another goal to ensure the victory of the team. A Barcelona Real Madrid match means a different kind of excitement. I definitely had Real Madrid ahead in this match considering their recent performances. But there Barcelona played against Real Madrid.
To my knowledge, Real Madrid's performance against Barcelona has never been bettered. Barcelona is a talked about team these days, they always give good games to football lovers. To bring Real Madrid on par with Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid will have to rethink. It is a matter of time for Real Madrid. Every player in Barcelona is experienced and very responsible. But I hope Barcelona will give football fans something better in the future

But we forget that Real are still in UCL games and they are still the reining champs of competition so we can give them a break for this season because it's clearly that LaLiga is not their target. More than this , they have the chance to win UCL again and if that happens again ...I think we really need the Super League because UCL is clearly a walk in the park for Real Madrid... . Anyway , Barca can win LaLiga but they are still very far away to have an experienced team who has UCL games...so that's what they are rebuilding right now, a team that can win UCL and not LaLiga..

Actually the 1st leg result was 0-1 for Barcelona, you might have mistaken it as the latest el clasico which that was a LaLiga match. In the 1st leg of CdR, not only just in the second half, but Barca also played better in the first one as well. Even, Real Madrid made 0 on-goal shot in the game, the first time ever since more than 10 years ago. And of course Barca have bigger chance since the 2nd leg will be played in Camp Nou.
Big work of course awaits Real Madrid in the second leg of the Copa Del Rey, apart from them being left behind on aggregate they will also play at home to Barcelona. In several meetings this season, Barcelona have always been able to get positive results when dealing with their eternal rival. I don't know whether these two teams will focus on CDR or not, what is certain is that when they face off there will be a match full of prestige.

But after all, Madrid will not let their ranking be overtaken by a team that is below it. Madrid will always try to perform optimally, even though they are 12 points adrift of Barcelona. The league isn't over yet, plus there are still 12 matches remaining. as one of the giants of the Spanish League, Madrid will continue to show its best game to present to their fans around the world. even though the chances they have are slim, it will not prevent El Real from showing its existence in the La Liga competition.
Real Madrid have failed to prove themselves better than everyone else in La Liga so far. So far they are second in the points table in the Spanish La Liga and respectively Barcelona are at the top of the points table with the same number of matches they have played. Real Madrid is no doubt one of the best teams in the Spanish La'Liga, they may not be performing well this season but they still have a chance to prove themselves and hope they take advantage of it.
Real Madrid's biggest rival is Barcelona.  Real Madrid are by no means catching up with Barcelona. Real Madrid is still playing very well but Barcelona is playing more better.  Due to which Real Madrid is always behind Barcelona. Real Madrid are still 12 points behind Barcelona.  Therefore, it is very challenging for Real Madrid to collect these 12 points and overtake Barcelona. But nothing is impossible in football, so if Real Madrid try, they will be able to overtake Barcelona.  But it must always be remembered that Real Madrid will not be able to overtake Barcelona very easily and early
As long as Real Madrid can't beat Barcelona, the La Liga title will definitely be in the hands of the Blaugrana. We can see how bad Real Madrid's game was against Barcelona, they couldn't develop and always stalemate to produce opportunities to goals. Moreover, from the depth of the squad, Real Madrid also lost because Barcelona was dominated by more young players and that's why Real Madrid had a lot of trouble when Barcelona attacked. But I hope that next season Real Madrid will be able to improve their squad and be dominated by young players, otherwise they will be even further behind Barcelona. For the hunt for the La Liga title this season, I consider it finished and the winner is Barcelona.
Real Madrid is not too bad team .there playing really too good but only Barcelona is the most challenging competitor for them. Real Madrid playing is really  good with another team without Barcelona. and Real Madrid trying to manage their team for compete with young players like Barcelona team. I don't know how they can improve their game but until they cannot improve their game they will not come between team like Barcelona. maybe they need more long time to improve their game. and I think Barcelona will become a Championship on this years La Liga series

It won't be very good for Real Madrid if they become out of the Copa del Rey as well. Because they have already lost most of their chance to win the La Liga title. If they get eliminated by Barcelona in the Copa del Rey as well they will have only the Champions League left. Finishing the season without a title would be really bad for Real Madrid.

Barcelona can really push them out of the Copa del Rey by the way. Because they already beat them in the Santiago Bernabeu in the first leg. I think they would finish the incomplete job.

Meaning, like it or not, Don Carlo had to maximize his team to overthrow Barcelona with a score of at least 2-0. even though the match will be played at Camp Nou, however, Madrid has the chance to defeat the home team. the problem was, Don Carlo had to formulate a strategy to kill the movement of Barcelona's midfield players. because Barcelona's central role is in two midfielders, namely Busquets and De Jong. this duo of players as a pivot makes Barcelona stronger both in defense and plays an active role when Barcelona builds attacks.

IMO, this match is quite tough for Madrid, because, Barcelona will not let the opportunity to advance to the final round just disappear. so, Madrid had no choice but to play aggressively for and topple Barcelona. well, I'm sure this fight will present a fierce battle with high tension.

On the other hand, Real Madrid has another important match in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. against Chelsea, it shouldn't be a big problem for them even though Chelsea shouldn't be underestimated. even so, Madrid has a high probability of qualifying for the next phase. Well, before we speculate too far. Instead, we should just enjoy it when Madrid play El Clasico matches and matches in the Champions League.
