Wtf...  Real is leading the table with a game to spare?  Trofo!  I shouldn't have paid you our '10k USD' side bet early!  Lolol.  Cheesy



The match ended tonight against Getafe in Madrid's favour, as they had an hardfought victory against Getafe who is aiming for a champions league position. Sergio Ramos scored from the penalty spot to hand madrid the victory and takes them 4 points ahead of Barcelona. Will Messi and co launch a fight back for the title ? Will Madrid go on to lift the Spanish La Liga in Zidane return as manager ? Its an interesting end to the La Liga

According to Topscorersfootball, the current La Liga top goal scorers:
1. Lionel Messi (Barcelona) : 22 goals
2. Karim Benzema (Real Madrid) : 17 goals
3. Gerard Moreno (Villarreal) : 15 goals
4. Iago Aspas (Celta Vigo) : 13 goals
5. Luis Suarez (Barcelona) : 13 goals
6. Raúl Garcia (Athletic Bilbao) : 13 goals

>More information, read here: https://www.topscorersfootball.com/la-liga/season-2019/2020

From the list above, we can see that Karim Benzema can be more productive to score in the past two seasons. And even he has a chance to overtake Lionel Messi as there are still some matches left. This never happened while Ronaldo was at Real Madrid.  Grin

Real Madrid vs.Getafe
Odds suggest easy home win, but I will bet on goals for this match.
I expect to see a lot of them, as Benzema is one of the best strikers in La Liga,
and Mata with Angel are also great for Getafe.
Both teams will be motivated, Real for title, Getafe for Europe.


after yesterday performance from Barca, i would expect surprise here, and Getafe could even win the match, since Real is already celebrating the title IMO, and that could leave them without energy on the pitch, bearing in mind that Getafe is good team, would not bet on Real for this one

draw is not good option for both, but do not expect much goals either

So many penalties in last game Barcelona - Atletico Madrid Smiley
I expected to see many goals, and I was right, as well as Messi scoring a goal.
Good picks for me, but lets focus on today games now.

Real Sociedad vs. Espanyol
After looking at H2H and previous matches, I will go for surprise away win here with small stakes.
Home team have 4 injured players and lost last 4 matches.
Last opportunity for Espanyol to stay in La Liga maybe.

Real Madrid vs.Getafe
Odds suggest easy home win, but I will bet on goals for this match.

and Mata with Angel are also great for Getafe.

I have watched how the Yellow army has been playing since the resumption of the league and to be honest, It's not going to be an easy match for Barcelona once again.

Taken from https://int.soccerway.com/teams/spain/villarreal-club-de-futbol/2023/

I agree with you, mate. It is likely Villarreal in a good performance lately, so it shouldn't be an easy match for Barcelona. Moreover, Villarreal plays at home and they are struggling to pursue Sevilla for the fourth position. If Barcelona still cannot deal with their current problem, instead I predict they will be defeated by Villareal.     

Hopefully Real Madrid just do what they should tomorrow and win the match. How Barcelona Performs won't matter.
Yes, Real Madrid should focus to win tomorrow match and don't think so much about the result of Barcelona against Villareal.
3 points from tomorrow match is more important than expecting the loss or draw of Barcelona match.

The match is over and Villareal won 2-0.
All eyes on Real Madrid for tomorrow's game vs Getafe but also for Villareal vs Barcelona this Sunday. So far Villareal didn't lose any game after the pause with only 1 draw vs Sevilla  Wink

I still have questions about second Atletico penalty and I can't understand why they didn't even made VAR review.
Although happy to see Barca losing point, I have to agree that the penalty was a wrong decision and surprisingly no VAR on that decision. It was in no way a penalty. Now, the title is almost certain for Real. If they win next match against Getafe, it will be confirmed.

Plenty of games today, but i've added Betis vs Villareal to my parlay. I'm expecting goals so i'm going with BTTS (:
it seems Villarreal dominates the match...
I am currently watching the Betis vs Villarreal match and although the possession of the ball is dominated by Betis but their settlement is not good, Moreno has performed well in the first round by contributing 2 goals for Villarreal.

Sigh. We dominated, had so many shots, possession etc but Atletico reminded Barca of what they did against Liverpool and it worked too. 1 own goal and 1 penalty, Messi won't want to remember this 700th goal landmark at all, all that for 1 point.

Title is Real Madrid's to lose now.
Yeah, actually we didn't played bad yesterday, but it wasn't enough. I still have questions about second Atletico penalty and I can't understand why they didn't even made VAR review. Now everything is in Madrid hands. 2 next games against Getafe and Athletic will be crucial for them. If they will win both, there will be no doubts who will win league.

 I am not entirely sure whats wrong with Barcelona, but they are not doing great not only right now but also not doing great for the future as well with weird transfers as well. I think they are not going to be proper team for a while. Every one of their players that matters became over 33 this year with most of the good ones over 30, and we are talking about getting another 30 year old and they are not even contending for championship this year anymore with how they are playing and getting bad results.

 Anyone thinks this season was the officially start of the end for their messi era of awesomeness and they are going to have a big trouble for next certain amount of years and not going to be great anymore (by barcelona standarts, definitely top 3 in la liga) and will find their new system and players after certain years? Or will they just be like Madrid after Ronaldo and just continue to dominate?
Messi is still good and if there will be injuries, he still can play in top level for few years. But the problem is that Barca simply have no strategy for upcoming few years and our transfer policy shows it. You have good point about age of our key players, they are getting old and our board is failing to find replacement for them. It feels that our team is turning into joke like MU or Milan. Now I'm just waiting until president election next year and I hope that new board will move club in right direction.
And I just remind that Real struggled a lot during first season after Ronaldo departure. Same will happen after Messi era in Barcelona. It's impossible that teams after loss of best players in this century will remain in same level.

He made the right decision to get a transfer to Barcelona as Messi is going closer to leave Barcelona in the near future.
I think rhis is the first time that i've read someone praise Griezmann's decision of signing with Barcelona.

He needs to go, and he needs to do it ASAP...A player of his quality can't waste his career, especially during his peak, in a club where he's seen as a sub in the 90' min. We're talking about a guy who was in the top3 Ballon d Or nominees not too long ago.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills
Opportunities Real Madrid would be even greater if later Real Madrid always play consistently until the end of the season.
That's the problem with Real Madrid, no one can guarantee this even vs weak teams. They have to win vs Getafe and especially wait for draws or a defeat from struggling Barca.
This will be utilized for Real Madrid vs Getafe although we know Getafe is sometimes difficult to conquer and therefore Real Madrid will be consistent with their stance to continue to maintain at the top of the table until the end of the season.

Barcelona's turmoil will continue like that if they are not solid and it will be difficult for him to win.

But we know that Real Madrid coach Zidane always has principles in what they do in his strategy.

The time however is with Griezmann's side.
He made the right decision to get a transfer to Barcelona as Messi is going closer to leave Barcelona in the near future.
After that Griezmann is going to be the new leader of Blaugrana.
Nah don't think Messi will leave the gold mine easily. His contract will end 2021 and it will get extended for at least 2-3 years for sure. Even his skills drops he will not move and it is up to Griezmann to prove himself and wait..

I equally feel sorry for Barcelona fans, Under Setien, the team is so predictable to play against as long as you can organize your lines and play low block. I do not really rate Setien, since his arrival, his method of play has been to pass to the right, front, left, find Messi, if Messi is marked, go back and start passing all over again; to add to it that they are side way passes that does not threaten any defense at all.

Zidane and Madrid meanwhile will be relishing their match against Getafe today, a win and 3 goals will have Madrid go 3 points clear and additional Goal difference too. Also another interesting end to the league season.

This is the most simplified explanation as to why the transfer happened. It was all about money and how they can balance the books to avoid getting fuck by FFP.
I don't think it was anything to do with an urgent need for a good player. Pjanic will just be at Barca to warm the bench will his transfer sorts out Barcelona's troubles financially.

I think some of this trouble comes from their careless signing of Griezmann last transfer summer.
How do you sign a player for that amount only to be on bench against his former club within that very season. Bringing him on at 90th minutes was more of a mockery  Grin

I think Griezmann got exactly what he deserved after all. He was so cocky and behaving like complete idiot, that got him transfer to Barca and the destiny he is experiencing now. Messi is God in Barca and Griezmann won't see any light until he leaves the club.

The time however is with Griezmann's side.

Once again, Barcelona must share points with their opponents because the match ends in a draw. The sad thing is that before they were top of the table, but now they have to give up on Real Madrid because they are better. Speculation about a new coach will inevitably arise after a series of recent bad results.

I was doubtful from the start about stein, but whats the point because we all cant determine who should be the right coach and only club management decides. About who is next, then I still want a Barcelona coach who knows well about Barcelona is philosophy and can apply it.

After last match and another bad result for Barcelona I don't expect that Setien will remain coach in Barcelona.
I think that probably this or next week they will replace him with another coach,  probably Pimienta as reported yesterday by Catalan radio.
Barcelona now have chance only in 1 competition,  CL and can't wait any more.
They need someone who can change negative atmosphere around team,  someone who can bring new energy and spirit.
In the longer term I think Barcelona will choose Xavi as permanent solution.
