Still in this they dropped the points and now they should be equal in terms of points gain it's just that the goal productivity advantage saves them in first place now.
But in conditions like this it becomes a bit inconvenient I think because they have to try even harder now to maintain their condition which is ready to be followed by Madrid.
1 point result is not bad but they should be more than this.

At least Barcelona managed to maintain its position because it didn't lose to Espanyol, but it's a shame Barcelona missed the opportunity to add points because they failed to get a win in this match, Real Madrid caught up with Barcelona on points and currently their points are equal, this will make it difficult for Barcelona to maintain its position The first sequence.

 It was a hot derby and although Barcelona scored an early goal, they missed a lot of chances to increase their advantage in the first half, their advantage was just total. In the second half, Espanyol did not give Barcelona so much freedom in action and it was clear that they were looking for an opportunity to equalize, and they managed to do it. After scoring a penalty, Barcelona had not much time left and they became visibly nervous. As a result Albaget a red card, and Laos handed out lots of yellow cards in its own style. Barcelona draw and level on points with Real Madrid, an unnecessary loss of points at the end of the year.

The performance of Real Madrid team is much better than Barcelona. I don't see any major problems with the Real Madrid team, the team is all playing good football and continuing their winning streak. On the other hand, Barcelona's defense and midfield problems remain, I really don't know what they think about them. I see the possibility of winning the La-Liga champion more than Real Madrid.

Barcelona drew this match. This is probably their first match after the World Cup. However, I did not see any good opportunities for Barcelona in this match. Their team still has that midfielder and defense problem.

You are right that Atletico Madrid have a great XI. Those who regularly play good football. The coach of the Atletico Madrid team is very experienced. With his good tactics, the players of Atletico Madrid are improving and taking the team forward.

Real actually played very well and sometimes in football you have to work hard and sometimes it looks like you got lucky. In reality if you play a dominant game all game, 80 minutes will cause the other team to finally get tired, because they will defend against you with all their power and eventually they will get tired.

This means after that many minutes, you will finally get under their skin and when they are finally tired you will start to score. It's like saying a boxer got lucky on 13th round to knock someone out, well they could have tried in first 5 minutes but they will fail, yet if they tired the opponent for 12 rounds, then on 13th round they can knock them out.

Shouldn't he be petitioned and penalized for all of that errors he's had lately, how can they not preview all of his card actions ? VAR most at times haven't improve football in anyway. Those bookings qre far too much, anyways that shouldn't be my pain, whats more important and painful is that Barcelona dropped points and they currently sits below Real Madrid.

I pray they shouldn't ruin my fantasies of them ( Barcelona ) winning the league. Who didn't expect Espanyol to fight back ? They're close pals they have to draw to save them bragging rights.

That is the issue with the referee, Antonio Mateu Lahoz. I called him a yellow card referee. If you watch the match between Argentina and the Netherlands, you will notice that he issued 18 yellow cards and one red card. Fifa should sanction him and prohibit him from officiating a game of football. Maybe he should go ref a rugby game.😁😁😁😁

The referee had a bad game so many bad calls this shouldn't be a performance of a person who is under criticism after his World Cup. I think he needs to be relegated to Laliga 2 he definitely has lost it. On the other hand Barcelona were too relax after the first goal in the 7 minutes. Raphinha was poor in the match missing a particular one on one with the goal keeper. Dembele came on and also was not effective. His he facing some problems because he a bad outing for France in the world Cup too. Espanyol did well and deserved that point even though some think it wasn't a penalty but I think it is because Alonso stepped on Joselu leg.

Different seasons, of course the conditions will not be the same for these two teams. And today it is clear that Barcelona is struggling to stay on top of the standings even though Barcelona drew today with Espanyol. Because Real Madrid temporarily still has to be in second place even though the number of points is the same as Barcelona, so both of them still have to make better improvements in every game so they can continue to compete in the title race this season.

The game ended with a draw. At the end of the game the referee Mateu Lahoz had given 12 yellow cards, 2 red cards, with 1 red card disallowed by VAR. Mateu Lahoz was the controversial referee in the world cup game between Argentina and Netherlands that gave a lot yellow cards as well. I wonder if all his card decisions are correct or he is just too over serious and likes to give cards. Barcelona are lucky to have a point in this game, a point is better than no point.

Barcelona 1-1 Espanyol

 

This was the game with the highest number of yellow cards I've ever seen.

Jordi Alba ( Red card )
Vinícius costa ( Red card   )
Edu Expósito ( yellow card )
Ferran Torres ( yellow card )
Anso Fati ( yellow card )
Arnau Tenas ( yellow card )
Javi Puado ( yellow card )
Raphinha ( yellow card )
Pedri ( yellow card )
Gavi ( yellow card )

it seems that the referee came to this game with some personal problem at home and was trying to take it out on the players, I don't see why a game like this should have so many yellow cards, as I couldn't watch this game so I don't really understand why there are so many cards but one thing is clear that this result means that real madrid has the same points as barcelona, that is, in the next game we can be at the top of the table once again

and this time we won't leave the top of the table anymore



the only thing that is preventing us from staying at the top right now is because we conceded a lot of goals, while barcelona only conceded 6 goals, but if in the next game barcelona loses or draws and we manage to win the game then we will be on top again and I doubt it It's a lot that we dropped to second place again, anyway it was funny to see so many yellow cards in this game

Before entering the new year, Barcelona-Espanyol ended in a draw. In the match, Barcelona dominated very heavily, they scored early in the goal. Espanyol didn't have a good shot before taking the penalty, Barcelona was in full control. There were very controversial events in this match. The red card returning from Var will have different interpretations that can be discussed in the penalty. Barcelona would have been more productive if the game had not been stopped by the yellow cards that were constantly appearing in the match and the match had not become so stagnant. I did not like the management of the match at all, the referee kept running around and showing cards throughout the match.

FT: Barcelona 1-1 Espanyol

So far Barcelona has completely dominated the match, while Espanyol has not been able to provide fierce resistance to Barcelona, ​​because Espanyol has not been able to suppress Barcelona's defense. Although Barcelona dominated the match, Espanyol managed to take advantage of one chance through a penalty to be able to equalize in the 73rd minute, Joselu successfully executed the penalty perfectly to make the score 1-1. Barcelona's dominance has not been able to provide full points, so both of them must share one point in this fight.

Jordi Alba received a red card after committing a foul on an Espanyol player while a few minutes later it was the Espanyol player's turn to receive two red cards, but after the referee checked the VAR only Vinicius de Souza Costa was given a red card while Leandro Cabrera was cancelled.

The current score is 1-1 Joselu managed to equalize the score through a penalty and each team plays with 10 players 2 players receive a red card
less than 10 minutes the match will end, will Barcelona be able to score the 2nd goal or have to miss 2 points? it will be interesting to wait
It would be a shame if the match ended in a draw meaning that Barcelona opens opportunities for Madrid to be closer.

Atletico Madrid requires a complete pattern and manager change; their performance is deteriorating by the day, and I believe the management must act to improve their performance this season. Normally, Atletico Madrid would be competing for the title alongside Real Madrid and Barcelona, but they have fallen behind due to their poor performance this season.

All Atletico Madrid needs now is a new coach; Diago Semione has done his best for the team, beginning as a player, and has coached them for nearly a decade; I believe they should let him go in order to try another manager who can bring something new to the team.

Barcelona vs Espanyol match 68 minutes have been played so far in the
Running . But so far Barcelona have a one-goal lead.  Barcelona's performance is very good because the players are very attacking.  Espanyol is attacking but less because the players of this club are skilled and full of experience but if compared to Barcelona strikers, Barcelona is definitely ahead.  In today's game, Barcelona has the possibility of another goal towards the end.

Without a doubt, Atletico Madrid's performance in both the league and the Champions League has declined significantly. Sacking Simeone should be their last resort now; even though he hasn't recently won a trophy, he has been doing well for the team for more than a decade and I believe the management is pleased with his work thus far. If the right manager replacement is not chosen with caution, it may have an impact on the entire team and may be worse than the current situation.

I think the same, in comparison with Real Madrid, it is a team that for now cannot be strengthened further, I also heard and saw a piece of news, I don't know if it is fake, but that Lewa wants to leave, I also read that they were very interested in CR7 leaving I went to Barcelona, I think that personally, it's not good for CR7 to go there, it's not correct, I don't see CR7 with a maroon blue shirt, I think that if he's not from Real Madrid he couldn't belong to his greatest rival, however What is happening to Barcelona is Xavi's fault and that is the sole responsibility of the directors for having given him so much power, it is something for which they have to answer from now on.


Yes, we must admit that Atlético did very well, honestly I saw a somewhat stormy game and things may not have gone very well because of the yellow cards, it is something that does not look good, but a result is a very good result , what is known is that they won and that is what has made them rise and the result with respect to Osasuna is something that may or may not happen, if they go up or take third place from them, it is up to them if they allow it, La Liga is getting good, however Real Madrid is one of the teams that I think is going to sweep all its matches, I have no doubt about that.

A good story of how they put an end to an Atlético that did not emerge:
