I believe it is a great chance for Real Madrid to close the gap in the standings after Barcelona’s draw against Celta Vigo.
Personally, I think this could be a turning point in the title race for the season knowing that Barcelona is strong this year and this chance won’t come back that much for the white team. With Barcelona sitting at 34 points and Real Madrid at 27, their winning tonight game agains Leganes is so important. If they manage to secure this victory and win their next late match, they will be just one point behind Barca.
I think Real Madrid fans and bettors will be hoping the team can perform better these next matches and use well this opportunity. Not to forget that moments like these define the season, and not in late matches of the season.
I’m following the game now after almost 10’ minutes, I must say that Leganes Is a really weak team compared to Real Madrid, not to disrespect the team. However, their performance in last matches was not in any level closer to their opponents. Easy win for Madrid this night, I would say!

It is very unfortunate that Barcelona only got a draw in this match and brought home 1 point and this made my bet lose and could not continue in today's Real Madrid match against Leganes, I have to make a re-bet on Real Madrid and maybe I will make the same multibet bet to get more profitable odds.
Real Madrid must win and use this momentum to reduce the gap with Barcelona because Barcelona lost 4 points in their last 2 matches.
Barcelona began this season very strongly and impressively but in latest weeks, they wasted many points and now they have only 5 points more than Atletico Madrid but a bigger threat for Barcelona is Real Madrid at a third position.Real Madrid must win and use this momentum to reduce the gap with Barcelona because Barcelona lost 4 points in their last 2 matches.
Leganes vs Real Madrid
Leganés (confirmed lineup): Marko Dmitrovic, Adria Altimira, Sergio Gonzalez, Matija Nastasic, Javier Hernandez, Renato Tapia, Yvan Neyou Noupa, Juan Cruz, Darko Brasanac, Munir El Haddadi, Miguel de la Fuente.
Real Madrid (confirmed lineup): Thibaut Courtois, Federico Valverde, Raul Asencio, Antonio Ruediger, Francisco Garcia, Eduardo Camavinga, Daniel Ceballos, Jude Bellingham, Arda Guler, Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior.
Real Madrid is two matches behind Barcelona with a difference of seven points, since the beginning of the season Real Madrid has started poorly which makes me feel bad for them because Barcelona who is their rival were doing well but now if Real Madrid can win the two matches they will only be left with a single point behind Barcelona. Real Madrid are going to Estadio Municipal Butarque to have their first game after international break against Leganés, both teams last met was in laliga match in 2020 and the match ended in draw. I'm expecting a see a different result this time around.

Is barcelona starting to show signs of decline? I didn't expect the final result to be like that facing a mid-table team barcelona could only collect 1 point yes they were ahead first with 2 goals but the mistakes of two players were utilized by celta vigo well in the minutes leading up to the end of the match. Now the competition in la liga is getting tight again Real madrid is certainly happy with the results of the match. 
Before international break Barcelona lost from Sociedad and yesterday they only playing draw from Celta Vigo so Barcelona only able to collect 1 point from 2 matches in Laliga and on the paper these teams should be easy to beat by Barcelona but in fact they were unable to beat Sociedad and Celta Vigo so i have to says Barcelona performance a bit decline but i think people shouldn't be over reacted because their position is still at the first place but i am not really sure this would be related or not but some people has been considers why Barcelona performance is not really good in the last 2 matches is because they losing Lamine Yamal and since this player absense and got injured indeed Barcelona was unable to win
<...>
Barcelona slipped again, the 2 goal lead could not be maintained and Celta Vigo managed to score 2 goals in the second half which made the match end in a 2-2 draw. 
Real Madrid will visit Leganes headquarters today if you look at the position of the two teams in the standings this is an easy match for Real but they still have to play aggressively because it is not impossible that Leganes will also play well at least as the host they do not want to lose with a big score or at least can hold a draw. In addition, if Real Madrid manages to get 3 points the competition at the top of the standings will be even tighter because their rival, Barcelona, suffered less than satisfactory results when visiting Celta Vigo's headquarters, I hope there are no surprises in this match.
No doubt Madrid will be more favored. Do not expect there will be a surprise when Barcelona gets a draw, then it is an opportunity for Madrid to catch up on the points difference. There will be many opportunities, but hopefully, Madrid will play according to expectations.
Madrid also needs this victory to build player confidence before facing Liverpool in the Champions League match. They also need a victory when facing Liverpool who this season has performed very well.

Real Madrid will face an opponent who is not too strong in this match so their chances of getting three points are much greater and vice versa with Barcelona who will visit Celta Vigo's headquarters so they will also find it easier to get three points. The competition for the standings is getting more interesting and both teams will certainly not miss the best moment to collect full points.
I would rather prefer to say both Barcelona and Real are going to have to work harder if they must snatch all three points this weekend because in the Spanish La liga surprises often happen especially with these kind of opponents, and this was what Barcelona had to deal with against Real sociedad before the international break hence I do not buy the idea of weak teams in the Spanish league because either of these big sides might drop points this weekend because Celta Vigo could prove to be a very hard nut to crack at the end of the day.Atlético de Madrid with the late minute winner, i had my bet on them and i nearly lost all hope, so much happiness with the win.
Barcelona are playing good, but i insist on them doing more in the second half. So far they have raised concerns with the number of goals they inflict on their opponents, i believe they can apparently make up for it on this one having lost to Sociedad previously. Barcelona are having the three points on this one, even if the goal margin won't be much a two or few, goals can still be settled in this match.
@Obim34, I guess now you would agree with my assertion that in these games in the Spanish La liga surprises are inevitable in any game and as such no team should be underrated as a weak team not until the end result speaks for itself. The game finished on a leveler result of 2:2 and that's means Barcelona dropped points because you had said they were going to get all three points in the game. Lucky for them that they didn't lose all points as they did with Real Sociedad before the international break.
I'm not going to lie. Seeing Barcelona getting such disappointing result and Atletico Madrid struggling to get that win against Alaves really surprised me. 
Barcelona had such a nice advantage of a 2-0 score first. But Casado just killed their hopes. How do you manage to get 2 yellows in only 7 minutes? People are discussing Kounde's mistake mostly and I also agree it was a simple one. But at least he was aware of what it cost on his statement during post-game interview. This point loss will help Real Madrid a lot in case they also don't lose points in an unexpected game.
When it comes to Atletico Madrid, they conceded a goal very early and it took them too long to make the comeback. Maybe they won anyway but they should play better than that in general.

Draw result from Barcelona is very favorable for Real Madrid because this is good chances for them to cut their points gap and today Real Madrid has weak opponent Leganes and just like we all know Leganes is promotion team and actually Leganes performance is quite impressive because Leganes can gets 3 win and lost 5 times but unfortunately today their opponent is Real Madrid which is one of the strongest team in Laliga
But i was a bit worried about the condition of Real Madrid because they were facing storm injured and some of their defender players have to gets long term injured and hopefully Ancelotti can solved this problem and bringing Real Madrid to collect 3 points however Real Madrid has low odds for this match @1.41 but although the odds is low i think it is safe bets

No matter how many injuries Real Madrid faces this season they can compete against Barcelona and if care is not taken Real Madrid will win the League trophy this season, Real Madrid may not be playing well as we all expected but Real Madrid knows how to win games, we have seen Real Madrid performance that is worst than this season and they find a way to win the League and also win the Champions League, so I still believe that Real Madrid can challenge Barcelona for winning the title.
Barcelona's loss yesterday shows that Barcelona is not sure if they can win the League trophy, Barcelona is ahead of Real Madrid with 7 points and Real Madrid has two matches to play against Leganes and Valencia I believe Real Madrid will win those matches and if they win those matches they will be able to compete with Barcelona because Barcelona will be only 1 point ahead of Real Madrid and any mistake from Barcelona and lose a match Real Madrid will take the first position in the league table.
Real Madrid will face an opponent who is not too strong in this match so their chances of getting three points are much greater and vice versa with Barcelona who will visit Celta Vigo's headquarters so they will also find it easier to get three points.

At the moment the gap between Real and Barcelona is 1 point, if Barcelona continues to lose points then the title race will be over long before the game in Barcelona. I think tomorrow Real will easily win against Leganes and I predict that at the end of this round the bookmakers' odds for the title will change sharply again and Real and Barcelona will be at least on equal terms.
I am not sure why you say that it is only 1 point because it is actually 7 points between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Atletico is in between them.
Anyway, Barcelona has got the talent and they will dominate the league hard this season for sure.
When teams have played a different number of games, it is customary to count not the number of points scored, but the number of points lost. At the moment, Real have lost just one point more than Barcelona.
Surprised that you expect Barcelona to dominate La Liga. If you really believe in it, consider betting on this event, I think Barcelona will be at least 2.0 after this round. Easy +100% in 6 months
We'll have to see, it was a surprise what Barcelona did yesterday. In principle Madrid have a relatively easy game against Leganes but any slip up in this or the pending game against Valencia could be a psychological blow because of Barcelona's lead. They also have Atletico Madrid on their heels and any slip up by Madrid in these two games could put Atletico in contention for the league and second place.
What happened to Barcelona is nothing that special because they have been doing very well the red card would have affected them because they were leading with two goals at first and at the end of the day it is now something different because they could not even play a defensive game they scored two goals and latter equalize the two goals between 84-86 minutes it was just a moment of joy for them because There was already assurance in the air that they have won the game.
And the way athletico Madrid are trailing Barcelona because Real Madrid have now dropped to third place, the league is getting more interesting this season and from the initial it was Real Madrid thay was predicted and now Barcelona and athletico Madrid is coming out from the shadows gradually so the prediction is not matching the expectations anymore, I think this is one of the most confused season i would experience and getting who is going to win is no longer easy to predict.
Today, Real Madrid against Leganes looking like a supposed easy game for them but i have some doubts around this game it may not be an easy one for Madrid seeing how they have been performing recently, they may win but they are not going to win with a very large margin. they will most likely win with a margin of a goal or two and i have the=is great feeling that Leganes is going to get a goal in this game so lets expect a goal at least from both teams.
This was a typical underestimating the opponent type of game, nothing more. Barcelona got 2 goals ahead and believed that Celta Vigo would just give up, after all they are Barcelona and Celta Vigo wouldn't dare to believe they could pull it back, which Barcelona was wrong.
The goals came in quickly back to back, one from a terrible terrible mistake, I think it was Kounde if I remember correctly.
The reality is, even if you are Barcelona, if you are 2-0 ahead by minute 80, even maybe earlier than that, you just do defense, proper defense, as in 4 defenders all in, even wingers pulled back a bit, and midfield right near the defense as well, just leave 2 or 3 people ahead, all others back at defense heavily guarding the goal. They felt way too confident in themselves, looking for a third goal, which resulted with bad defensive moves that lead to Vigo ended up scoring back to back very quickly, recovering from that wasn't possible.
They should thank their personal god that they didn't conceded one more goal, it looked like they could have even lost the game. In the end they are still ahead, even if Madrid wins both, that makes 1 point gap, but that's not a good situation to be in, they are doing badly recently.

Agreed, how dare flick to keep casado who acquired a yellow card to play full time. He should have sent Casado off the pitch, Instead kept him on until the referee showed him a red card. This destroyed the club's mentality until the end. Seeing the whole players got mental collapse after the red card was unbelievable.
Also, a blunder by Konde worseing the situation. He admitted his mistake in his latest interview. He knew his team would win if he didn't make a mistake that let Celta score to its second goal to equalize the score.
lastly, one point was better than nothing. They tried hard, but mistakes by Casado and Kounde cost them. Hopefully, they bounced back later.

Barcelona slipped again, the 2 goal lead could not be maintained and Celta Vigo managed to score 2 goals in the second half which made the match end in a 2-2 draw. legendary

Barcelona slipped again, the 2 goal lead could not be maintained and Celta Vigo managed to score 2 goals in the second half which made the match end in a 2-2 draw. Yeah, well, Barcelona slipped again but it is the team that has slipped the least so far this year. There are times when to win a tournament you just need to screw up fewer times than your opponents.
The problem with Barcelona and Real Madrid is injuries. Even other big teams like Manchester City are suffering a lot from injuries. It's all because of the FIFA calendar. For example, in the case of Barcelona, it's clear that without Yamal they're weak. That's because when Yamal is playing, the tendency is for the opponents' defense to focus more on Yamal and open up more space for other attacking players. That's why Barcelona can score a lot of goals. But without Yamal, everything becomes difficult. The same thing happens with Real Madrid. The trio of Rodrygo, Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. works very well to the point that the team plays well. However, Rodrygo is injured. So today we'll see a game in which Real Madrid will play badly. They might even win today, but I doubt they'll play well.
You've got a point here but we still have to see how Madrid perform against Leganes although I grant you that with Rodrygo injured it won't be such an easy task.

They have the opportunity to reduce the points gap and this will threaten Barcelona, who still leads the standings. On paper Real Madrid can clearly win the match easily, but we never know what will happen during the match and sometimes it can be surprising.
See? I guess you're losing some dollars if you have staked for Barcelona. It's weird when i was seeing Barcelona, which was leading the club got a very high odds against a bottom team. Their opponent also had horrible GD.
I have predicted it before if they would not secure three points. Their odds was really attracting me to bet, but i choose to play with my logic.
I also bet on Barcelona to win this match. And I lost my money. In this match I don't even imagine that Barcelona will share the points. Moreover, Barcelona's overall gameplay was quite good. But Barcelona was very unlucky and I don't see any way to deny it.
Barcelona took a 1-0 lead in the first half. And in the second half, Lewa's goal gave them a 2-0 lead. But the whole scenario of the match changed after Marc Casado got a red card in the 10th minute. Within 4 minutes of Marc Casado getting a red card, Barcelona conceded two goals. And the match was tied at 2-2. After that, Barcelona couldn't make a comeback. Real Madrid now has a big chance to gradually regain the top spot of the table. For this, Real Madrid must continue their winning streak.
