This is what I do. I drink and I know things.
La Liga and all competitions in Europe are closed for one week due to the FIFA match day agenda and it makes clubs have to release players for their countries, which is quite difficult, especially for Madrid, currently not safe in the first position of the standings, plus Madrid in the next two weeks. will play the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 and it is very risky if the player returns to the club injured. FIFA matchday will take place this week and Madrid will return to play in La Liga next week on February 7, against Granada.

To be honest, I can't believe that Real Madrid or any other major team has an issue because of any kind of international duties. On the contrary, IMO it's good to see some other players that will grab the chance and prove something. Real's schedule is not that bad but for sure it's difficult. I'm waiting to see if they will make any transfer... Roll Eyes

Gradually, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are adjusting. Barcelona has been a very weak team since the previous season. They are weak this season too because they lost some of their experienced players.
However, Atletico Madrid's victory over Valencia was extraordinary. They were able to win even after trailing 2-0 in the first half. And the most interesting thing is that Atletico Madrid scored two goals after 90 minutes. If Atletico Madrid and Barcelona can maintain their form, both teams will be in the top 4 of the points table.

They both are slowy on track again as it seems. And there is a huge game between them on the next week of the La Liga. They are in a big rivalry to get past each other in the standings now. Atletico Madrid are still ahead by one point. But after this game, the balances could change. For now, I see that both of them are strong enough to be able to beat the other one. But the game is in Camp Nou and this is a big advantage for Barcelona. They seem to be more trustworthy to me these days. I think that they can win this game by one goal.

Well, even though they haven't reached their best performance yet, but Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are much better now. It's a bit tough to catch Real Madrid, but at least they still have a chance to take 3rd place or even 2nd place (if Sevilla cant keep their consistency). The match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid is a match worth looking forward to. As the host, I think Barcelona will do their best to chase the win, so I predict Barcelona will win by 1 goal difference.
In the previous match Atletico could win 2-0 and even more painfully, Suarez, who was sacked in the Koeman era, contributed one goal against Barcelona. Also, even though yesterday Barcelona won I will still doubt it even though tomorrow against Atletico Barcelona play at home, I personally still believe Atletico will win or maybe draw. But if Barcelona win I personally believe they are still difficult to be consistent and they will only fight for 4th place, because I believe Madrid, Sevilla and Betis will be able to maintain their position.

True, the points gap between Real Madrid and Sevilla is still very affordable with a few games.  However, Sevilla's journey was very concerning with the play only ending in a draw.  even though the team they played against was only in 12th position in the standings.  If their strategy is not strengthened, it is possible that the chances of winning in this league are getting further and further away.  They are lucky that Real Madrid did the same so the gap is not that big.  But this could have an impact if Real Madrid immediately fix the pattern.

I wouldn't need to worry about Real Madrid, they have a B team that is almost as good as the bottom half of the La Liga.
Plus, Covid showed us the big teams like Real Madrid have no problems in calling for postponements, we already saw before the winter break that they easily made applications for exemptions and games got postponed.
So the rest will almost be good for them, except that of course it creates congestion later on.
although Madrid has good second-tier players, even as good as their first team. did not rule out Madrid will be exhausted if they face a team that is even far below it.
the competition schedule is too tight, this makes teams with star players certainly experience problems. The lack of player rest time is the main reason why many players will miss the first match after defending their country.
but this problem is not only Madrid's but it must also be seen fairly for all clubs.

I think this is something which is always causing a lot of teams headaches. And teams always have to think about how to properly rotate players and give them the proper rest that they need. This also creates a chance for the other players to play for the team and make a name out of it.

But when it comes to the big stage then it is certainly a problem. And almost all the teams are going to face this type of problem, not only Real Madrid.

And it is good to see Atletico Madrid and Barcelona recovering also. Each one of these teams are one of the biggest teams of the La Liga. It wouldn't be good to witness them finishing at a bad place in the standings. Actually, these teams both are still struggling to win their games but the result is the most important. Atletico Madrid were 2-0 behind but didn't give up and won by 3-2. This is very important. This shows their dedication now. And Barcelona also struggled against one of the weakest teams of the season but still defeated them in the end. But they should improve their performance to have this win streak continuing.

Indeed, it is a good full point for Barcelona but Barcelona should be able to win easily in that match, considering the opponents they face are only teams that are in the relegation zone. Still doubtful for Barcelona when against other top teams later but even so indeed, Barcelona are slowly recovering and they can still struggle to get at least a point when against the tougher ones later. About Atletico I think it's clear, they still have a high winning mentality, it's not easy to win in that way, moreover the opponent is not a weak team because Valencia are one of the big teams in La Liga.

Goodnight, o_e_l_e_o 🌹
The battle for top 3 and 4 just got more exciting with Atletico Madrid and Barcelona wins. Both teams have a game in hand so they could still narrow the gap with Betis.
The Real Madrids are seem relaxing this time around. Few weeks ago, they were decently leading and we're comfortable. But their last three results looking like red, green and yellow (lose, win and draw) has a negative impact on them.
I think they will no longer be comfortable.
Betis are given Real Madrid a nice chase, Sevilla is very much hopeful too.
Even ATM and Barcelona has an outstanding match.
The title race is becoming quite interesting now.

It was a poor performance but earning a point against Elche to maintain their four point over Sevilla wasn't that bad for Real Madrid. That should keep them from relaxing or becoming complacent if they extend their lead at the top.

At some point real madrid might get slipped and they nearly did it , careless real madrid should have learned something from now.
but also yeah sevilla doing similar thing as the toughest and nearest competitor which make things get interesting lol.
sevilla should make a pressure week by week by maintain the points gap , if they cant get closer then try to keeping up till the very last moment of slipped real madrid.
Just to continue the intrigue in the championship, it is necessary that Sevilla continue to gain points and keep up with Real Madrid. I think it would be interesting only for particularly zealous Real Madrid fans if there was already a huge advantage over other clubs. Before that, the difficulties in scoring touched Real Madrid to a lesser extent than its arch-rivals in the face of Atletico and Barcelona. However, from the third-place Betis, the advantage is quite large and 10 points look quite a serious handicap. On the other hand, matches with rivals such as Elche give hope that Real Madrid will still give its pursuers a chance in the face of Betis, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Sociedad to participate in the championship race Wink

Elche revived Sevilla's hopes.
Indeed. With a draw got by Real Madrid, the point gap between Sevilla and Real Madrid is still 4 points. It is not a large gap, Sevilla can overtake Real Madrid in 2-3 matches. If both teams can perform well consistently, the competition for the title will be quite tight until the end of the season.

Sevilla, on the other hand, closed this week unfortunately. Against Celta, they were down 2-0 in the first half but 2-2 in the second half.
Sevilla has a chance to shorten the point gap, sadly they also have the same problem in the decreasing of their performance. In the last 5 matches, they only won 2 matches, the rest they got all draws. Luckily, they are never defeated as Real Madrid experienced. Real Madrid already got 1 lose and 2 draws lately. In this situation, Sevilla should be able to take advantage of the chance to shorten the point gaps. Unfortunately, they cannot do it well.

There is a nice competition between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona for the 4th position in the league standings now. And Real Sociedad are right behind them. Atletico Madrid and Barcelona both won this week. Atletico Madrid had a really hard time beating Valencia home by 3-2. Because they turned the game around incredibly from a 0-2 disadvantage. It is really difficult to do against a team like Valencia. And Valencia were really unlucky to concede two goals after the 90th minute. And Barcelona beat Alaves by 1-0 away. This was a hard-fought win but an important one.

There are still a lot of games left to finish La Liga and the way things are, I still think that a lot will change in relation to the table, for example the case of Atletico Madrid, I think they'll get over the problems they've been having they will probably not reach the top 4, I think that in this part Barcelona will have the advantage because they are showing signs of being better. and more difficult to accept was how real madrid wasted points in the last games

Real Madrid 2 - 2 Elche

 Shocked

I'm surprised by this result, how did real madrid concede 2 goals against Elche? this is shocking to me

~snip~
It's bad, several times Madrid struggled against the bottom teams. I wonder if they underestimate Elche too much? Against Cadiz they were only able to draw. Then in the Copa Del Rey they won 1-2 against Elche. Yesterday they were only able to draw, even trailing 2-0 first. Ancleti seems to have to immediately improve the mentality of his players to keep playing seriously against any team. In this season they always perform superior when against big teams, but it is lost and inversely proportional if against the bottom team.

Even the greatest teams get a draw sometimes, and this is by far the best Real Madrid that we have seen right? So it is normal that sometimes there would be results like this. Considering their defense is not even that proper anymore, and they have just 2 known big names and nobody else, sometimes it gets leaky on defense. They scored 2 goals, which is more than enough most of the time, so the problem was not with the offense, it was purely defense that got scored twice from Elche and that's obvious. Plus, we could all have bad days, it's normal, there is nothing wrong with that, sometimes we just need to sit down and relax and go back as nothing happened.
Nothing special, that's normal for a football match. Any team can lose even if it is the favorite to win, it can always happen due to luck and effectiveness of attacks and creation of chances.

In the last 5 match, Real Madrid have not been able to maximize their chances of winning. Regardless of whether the opposing team is stronger or whether the players are experiencing fatigue due to a hectic schedule then they can still drop points. Some players have entered the final phase of their careers, they are already above the potential age as regular players who can be played in every game for 90 minutes.
You are right here nothing is special as we are watching some dramatically changes happening in Spanish League table with very bad performance from few teams like Atletico Madrid, Real Sociedad and Royal Vallecano these all were handling top ranks but now struggling badly and staying at respectively 4, 6 and 8 which giving Barcelona good advantage for having their position into top 4 which is now possible as now they are top in form with having 11 points from last 5 matches and all others struggling specially now leaders are also having just 8 points and second spot holder are having 9 points so suddenly all things opening, and we can watch some more changes in coming weeks as Real Madrid are also going to face PSG in their first match of knock out stage in Champions League.
