In a few hours Sevilla will be playing in the Copa del Rey and even though Sevilla will be playing away, the opponent will be Torremolinos and even for Torremolinos it is not a strong team. So I think this will be a proving match for Sevilla to win easily, because if Sevilla still has trouble beating the Torremolinos team, which is even a weak team, Sevilla's performance will be very worrying in La Liga if they still can't win easily in this match.
Here it is no longer about underestimating the opponent or not, because their castes are also clearly very different and with Sevilla's very poor performance this season in La Liga, of course Sevilla should be able to win easily in this match.
Whether Sevilla only plays second-tier players or not, what is clear is that their quality is very much different, so even though Sevilla plays second-tier players, at least Sevilla must still be required to win.
There is no good reason for Sevilla not to win in this match because after all, it's time for Sevilla to fully improve their performance so they can get away from the relegation zone in La Liga standings.

It is really interesting that Real Madrid still haven't extended with Benzema. But I assume it has been due to the World Cup process. Maybe they wanted to wait for it to end to return to their targets as always. Benzema was injured for some time as well. However this injury shouldn't have a big impact on their decision to offer a new contract to him.
Benzema is still one of the important players in this team. Real Madrid owe him a lot especially in the previous season. I think they will extend with him at least for two more years.
Real Madrid owes ..but football is not the place of emotion. It's a profession. Who can give good in football and who will benefit the club. Only keep him in the team. The proof of which is Barcelona and Lionel Messi. But Benzema is still fit enough to continue playing. But if there is a better option, Real Madrid will take it. Benzema is still one of the important players in this team. Real Madrid owe him a lot especially in the previous season. I think they will extend with him at least for two more years.

Benzema's contract expires in June 2023, but I'm sure Real Madrid will renew his stay with the Whites again. It's just that, Benzema will only receive a one-year extension until 2024. This is due to Real Madrid's policy which will only give a one-year contract extension for players over 30 years of age. Even though Benzema has made a big contribution, that will not guarantee that he can last longer.
Even in this case I heard that both of them agreed to extend the contract until 2024 last October.No matter how big the contribution is in Madrid, I think for a team this big you still won't see that, especially considering the previous condition of Madrid, which always with the same characteristics threw away some good players who were not too used, so I think this is also a reason for a contract extension one year.

It's stupid if they don't concentrate on the Champions League and maybe even this is an assumption that I can't accept because in any case the Champions League is the highest league for now in Europe especially with their condition that they need more money with their current financial condition. Xavi did the right thing in my opinion. He talked about possibility versus probability.
Was it possible that Barcelona could win the Champions League if they concentrated on the Champions League without having any distractions?
I think, Yes.
But was it probable?
then, no.
So, he made the right decision and concentrated on the La Liga title.
They know that the Champions League is the goal of almost every club so it doesn't make sense if they don't focus on the champions league so they fail.
As for La Liga, it depends on everyone's perspective if you say it's appropriate or not because this is still an assumption and this has to be proven by Barcelona.

And I think that is the very reason why Barcelona did not concentrate on the Champions League.
There is going to be high competition for the Champions League trophy compared to the La Liga title.
So, the La Liga title was more within reach of Barcelona.

Comparing Barcelona's performance with the previous season, it is easy to see that their performance has improved. If they get stronger gradually. Because this season Xavi has spent a lot of money building his squad. And added several talented players to the team. Hence their performance has improved. But this performance was not enough to win the title. Barcelona need to play better if they want to win the title. And of course, 3 points must be secured against relatively weaker teams in every match. If Barcelona does not play consistently well, Real Madrid will be the champions this season.
Even if you and others think that Barcelona has improved, they are not completely out of trouble. Barcelona are currently relying too much on Lewandowski to score goals, and when Lewandowski is absent or is successfully prevented, it is clear that Barcelona will find it difficult.Of course I also think Barcelona have improved, but Real Madrid will never miss an opportunity to win and defend the title again this season. We still have a chance and we'll keep it close. Two points is not much, and I think Barcelona will still slip from the top of the table where there is a lot of pressure from below. I hope that Real Madrid will continue to keep poin gap with Barcelona and pressure them, and I hope that Real Madrid will again excel.

last season Barcelona started badly. they pretty much lost points. Xavi's arrival did provide a new atmosphere in the squad. they perform better. last season they missed a chance for a trophy. and I'm sure this season Barcelona doesn't want to lose the trophy.Barca with all the difficulties they have. managed to show the quality of the game is very good. Xavi will be pushing hard for a trophy this season. as proof of good quality.
Barcelona will need to keep up this performance against smaller teams until the next El Clasico in the league. If they do this and defeat Real Madrid in Camp Nou then I think they can really be the champions after a three-season break.
Barcelona are more convincing this season than last season, but we are still the best in El Clasico. Real Madrid won the first volume of El Clasico, but that doesn't guarantee we can win in the second volume later at Camp Nou.Comparing Barcelona's performance with the previous season, it is easy to see that their performance has improved.

For me, the El Clasico match cannot be used as a benchmark for Barcelona or Real Madrid to win the title, because even if they win or lose the El Clasico match, the reality is that Real Madrid and Barcelona will at least get defeats and draws when playing against other teams. It doesn't matter that Real Madrid and Barcelona lose to weaker teams, because sometimes it happens too.
So yes, in this case Real Madrid and Barcelona will continue to compete for the La Liga title, but whether they can win the title or not depends on their consistency and not on El Clasico matches.
Because basically the El Clasico match is just a match with the title of big match and not a decisive match, so because the match is a big match, of course they have very high prestige.
But regarding Barcelona this season it has undergone significant changes even though they are only promising in La Liga, while for competition in Europe the reality is that Barcelona is still not as good as in La Liga.

This season La Liga is not boring thankfully. Real Madrid were so alone in the lead last season. Barcelona had really bad days at the beginning of the season with Koeman. Xavi's arrival was barely enough to finish the season at the 2nd place being quite away from Real Madrid. But in this season Barcelona are very consistent in the league. Somehow they can't reflect this performance on big matches and this cost them really big in the Champions League as well. Maybe some tactical changes are needed for big matches as of now.
Considering their effort the only team that can stop them in the La Liga is Real Madrid. We all know how miserable Atletico Madrid are this season. They are already far away from any title race. So Real Madrid have already defeated Barcelona once but they are still at the second position. Barcelona will need to keep up this performance against smaller teams until the next El Clasico in the league. If they do this and defeat Real Madrid in Camp Nou then I think they can really be the champions after a three-season break.

This season is interesting because Barseon went all in making expensive purchases while having huge debts. After the elimination from the Champions League, it is already clear that the all-in failed and did not bring the expected results, but there are still opportunities to make the situation worse
If Barcelona don't reach the Europa League final and win La Liga, then something like bankruptcy or the start of a run-off of players is possible in the summer.

Even though Benzema has made a big contribution, that will not guarantee that he can last longer.
Next season, Benzema will turn 36, so maybe it's time to leave Real Madrid or perhaps retire there at the end of his contract. However, Benzema has already announced his retirement from the France squad, which he may also do with his team after the expiration of his contract with Madrid. I could be wrong, but it seems that Benzema is closer to retiring when his contract expires next season without another extension.Barcelona will need to keep up this performance against smaller teams until the next El Clasico in the league.

The contribution that already made by griezmann and Lloris was nothing for france. It's very bad to see that griezmann and Lloris have very bad attitude. Benzema was not able to playing caused by his injury and that's a common thing for the football player.
I have expected to see him perform during the world cup but that's very sad to say that if he was absent and even retired from the international career.
Benzema was unable to make a full contribution on the field due to an injury which ultimately made Benzema like this, while Ronaldo was indeed unable to control the ball properly due to the influence of his old age to master the ball which of course requires high stamina. As for Antoine Griezmann, maybe this is his best career because he managed to bring France to the final even though he didn't win. I have expected to see him perform during the world cup but that's very sad to say that if he was absent and even retired from the international career.

Benzema has achieved success at club level while defending Real Madrid, his peak after Benzema led Real Madrid to win the UCL and La Liga last season. For his success in helping Real Madrid win several prestigious titles, Benzema won the Ballon d'or at a mature age as a footballer. This success is very difficult to achieve again, especially with the increasing age of Benzema and his condition which is often injured.
As you mentioned, Benzima has accomplished a lot in Real Madrid, but he cannot improve on his performance from last season.
He is not a young player who still has age on his side; he is almost close to retirement, I believe, because he is the type of player who likes to give younger players chances, which is why he was able to win his one and only Ballon d'or, which many people know is his one and only because he cannot win more.

Real Madrid is known as a club that has no tolerance for players who are already old, when a player is deemed unable to contribute anymore to the club, they will immediately sell him or let the player leave when his contract ends. Benzema will not forever be a mainstay of Real Madrid, now that he is 35 years old, Real Madrid has started to look for a replacement for Benzema. I think Benzema will be at Real Madrid as long as his contract remains, after that his time with Real Madrid will end.
Benzema has achieved success at club level, he has won any trophy in official matches during his time at Real Madrid. Meanwhile at international level, Benzema was unlucky due to an injury which kept him out of the world cup.
Now that Benzema can return to focus for Real Madrid after recovering from his injury, Benzema is a much needed presence in the Real Madrid squad due to his prolific goalscoring prowess. Real Madrid is still fighting back to the top of the standings, one mistake from Barcelona can lead Real Madrid to the top of the standings because Real Madrid and Barcelona are only two points apart.
as long as Madrid has not got a player with the quality of play as Benzema. I'm sure Benzema will still be the first choice in the squad, even though his performance is sometimes hampered by the injuries he often experiences.Now that Benzema can return to focus for Real Madrid after recovering from his injury, Benzema is a much needed presence in the Real Madrid squad due to his prolific goalscoring prowess.

Benzema was not lucky with his situation during the world cup. but that's what's currently happening. no one wants to get injured on purpose when they get the chance to represent the national team. Benzema has accepted it all, and now is the time for him to return to Madrid and focus on all competitions.
Benzema just needs to improve his body so he doesn't get injured too often because his instincts and productivity are still very good.
But there's something else going for Madrid now a little surprising in my opinion. There are indications of Mendy now leaving. His contract will expire in 2025 and actually there has been an offer about a new contract but Mendy refused because he wanted a salary increase that was more than the previous contract so this was a bit hampered.
Griezmann contributed a lot to France, you can see the statistical rating he had while playing for France at the Qatar world cup. it's just that, in the final match. France lost the strategy in that match, Dembele was a key factor in Descamps' strategy weakness. he did not try to help the French defense, so that Jules Kounde struggled because he was outnumbered players.
As a result, Argentina controlled the game in the first half. for Benzema, besides he can't participate in defending his national team. However, he remains on the list of players who have come to Qatar. rumors, Benzema was given an offer to play in the final match yesterday. however, he refuses even though his injury has been confirmed to have fully recovered.
So, I think in this way it has been dismissed that Benzema has no problem with the French coach. after all, on several occasions Benzema said that he was focused on the league competition.
All I know is he just refused to see the final with the french president, instead of coming in as a player in the coaching line-up. It seems that he feels disappointed that he is currently fully healed and he hopes to get time to be able to help France in the Final. But his hopes were gone, he hadn't even been called up to join since the group stage. Because I read a friend's writing above that he has been cured ever since.

But perhaps this is just a guess, Benzema has not given any information about the decision he took. I'm sure he wasn't emotional, because it was the right of the french coach at the time.
I don't think there are many like that because I myself still believe in Madrid.
Benzema is now ready to return even though the injury concern is still there but as long as he is still able to play I think he will play normally and I'm pretty sure about that.
His form has been hampered by his foot problem which hasn't been great for the season but when he recovered I never doubted this player.
Yes, no doubt his quality game shown very good, but repeated injuries have also become an obstacle for this man. Real Madrid needs a new figure who can replace Benzema, in the transfer market they will have to have a backup option. I think Mbappe would be a good option but Real Madrid are having a hard for bring him, there are rumors Cody Gakpo is Real Madrid target for Benzema successor.Benzema is now ready to return even though the injury concern is still there but as long as he is still able to play I think he will play normally and I'm pretty sure about that.
