I saw the news today and couldn't believe my eyes about Barcelona. They just bought a new player worth 55 million euros. What is that club doing? I thought they had so much debt. Apparently they can be even more in the minus. In this way they can make it strong and become top again. In Spain is a lot possible it seems?
you mean ferran torres ,yes barcelona have to spend 55 million euros for it and I also heard + 10 million ! yes barcelona is experiencing a financial crisis right but must survive from it all ,maybe there will be a sale of players later which I heard is also like that ! hopefully bringing in torres make barcelona better come back

After playing really solid against Sevilla in an away game the last time, Barcelona's next target is going to be Mallorca in another away game. The Barcelona I watched against Sevilla were really encouraging for the future. And they should show their seriousness by this game. Mallorca is not a tough opponent for them. They just need to focus on the game and make the effort they did against Sevilla at least. Then, they can win this.
On the one hand, Barcelona's succession of failures has led to the fact that the chances for it are now quite attractive, even in this match:
4,80 - 3,75 - 1,78
On the other hand, given the instability of Barcelona, plus its incomprehensible state after the break for the New Year's holiday, I doubt that it is worth making this bet.
Real Sociedad was good at the beginning unfortunately Real Sociedad couldn't maintain that good trend and then, we got Betis and Rayo Vallecano which I think is quite surprising too. They spin like a good wheel at the start and fall as time goes on and yes, with a result like this it's sure the race for the top four will still be interesting until the end of the season. Because I believe they will continue to overtake each other, because it is difficult for them to be consistent under pressure.
I really don't understand what happened to Real Sociedad suddenly. I get that every team would stumble at some point of course. But they did more than that in the recent times. Firstly, they got a draw and right after that they got four losses in a row. They have got a really huge problem in the team now I guess. Otherwise, I don't see any logical explanation for their current look. I wouldn't have said no to seeing a different team reaching the La Liga title. At least, it would have been good to see them fighting for it until the end.
There is only a chance for Barcelona to take advantage of the opportunity. While Real Sociedad is in a bad state with a disorganized game. Like Real Sociedad's good game at the beginning, it was like they lost the confidence to play at the end. Even though they had been relied on and used as a strong competitor. but here they will return to follow the history that can not be written on the table.
Maybe that's just the level of that team. They had a really good season last year, and the year before that too. Normally and before they were never in the top 5 teams. Maybe everything went in the right direction for this team in the beginning, and now things are going wrong. They have too low quality to win bad matches, just like Real Madrid can. Individually, it is also quite limited if you compare it with the top of Spain.
In Spain there have been many top football teams and now everything has started to change like Real Madrid and Barcelona because both in the past were both very strong, but if you look at the two at this time it is very different where Barcelona is already very weak and not even in the last 16 of the Champions league for this season.

I think that with such a good squad, Atletico Madrid should not continue to lose at such a pace and continue its terrible streak, so it's not a fact that Barcelona will get ahead of Atletico.
Atletico has a problem with player injury, it makes them difficult to show his best form. If you checked their squad, there are some injured players lately. Savic, Gimenez, Vrsaljko, Llorente, and Griezmann are injured, they cannot play temporarily. Losing Savic and Gimenez is the main problem here since they are the best Atletico central backs. So, we cannot blame them to get bad results because they are not as strong as you think now. Regarding the chance for Barcelona to overtake Atletico, it is very possible since the point gap is only 1. 
Much eyes on Barcelona and Xavi Hernandez, failing to realize he just came in and ain't no magician.
Take a good look at Athletico Madrid who should be dominating the La liga, they have failed woefully,game's after game's.
They should try to keep up else Barcelona will come ahead of them in a short time.
They must have lost drive.
Barcelona was in a terrible state before tht arrival of Xavi. And he is just trying his possible best to put Barca back on track. But, what people don't understand is that this will take some time. Atletico Madrid performance are poor, they lost all their last 4 matches, and one of the problem Atletico seems to have is are defense. However, If Barcelona play their next matches without losing, they will surely take over Atletico Madrid's place.Take a good look at Athletico Madrid who should be dominating the La liga, they have failed woefully,game's after game's.

I so much trust the process,I believe in Xavi that he is taking Barcelona to a greater heights,to their former tiki-taka pattern of football.
Although Barcelona is currently still in 7th position, Barcelona's performance is getting better since Xavi became the main coach at Barcelona.
I'm even optimistic that at least Barcelona can enter the top 4 this season, we can't demand instant results from Xavi. Because Xavi still needs
time to build Barcelona into a strong team again, Xavi is also still in the process of bringing in some desired players. Although the young players
trusted by Xavi have shown good performance, still, to be able to compete for the La Liga trophy, Xavi needs some experienced players.
I'm curious to see who Xavi will finally sign in the January transfer window, because indeed Xavi needs some new players to make Barcelona
play the tiki-taka pattern perfectly.

Ferran Torres made his move to Barcelona today.
Barcelona will forever be grateful for him, leaving Champions League football for Europa league, lie who does that ?
All for the Barcelona shirt ? This is a huge sacrifice.
I am certain he will settle and adapt to the system, no much difference with that and Manchester City.

Real Madrid really owe Carlo Ancelotti too much in this season. Because they have been having a perfect season so far not only in the La Liga but also in the Champions League. They are already dominating the La Liga now. They lost only once in 19 matches. And they continue to make a great effort even in the matches they don't manage to win. The Cadiz match is a good example for that. And maybe they will have a period that they struggle in also. But I still don't expect them to lose their very big chance for the league championship this time. It is time to revenge on Atletico Madrid after losing the title chance by a little gap in the previous season.
Big credits to Carlos Ancellotti.
Came at the point where Real Madrid lost two great defending player's, Rafael Varane and Sergio Ramos.
They are defending and still winning games comfortably without them.
Yes. We must appreciate Ancelotti, he still leads Real Madrid to be in 1st place of La Liga table although they lost 2 strongest central backs. He successfully rebuilds Real Madrid defense with Militão and Alaba. Unfortunately, Alaba is out of the squad because of Corona Virus now. I think it is a serious problem if they lost Alaba when Real Madrid against PSG on February 16. I hope he has already recovered before that match.

Speculations about Real Madrid not been interested in Pogba, is this news Valid ?
I don't know about this. If Real Madrid still has Kroos, Modric, and Casemiro, I don't think Real Madrid urgently needs a new midfielder. They seem to focus on signing top strikers and a strong center-back. So, their funds may be prioritized for buying Mbappe or Haaland, and they may plan to sign 1 top central defender. For the next season, I really have big hopes about Barcelona. They should primarily focus on making their current financial condition much stronger than now. In this way, they will be able to sign the players they really need. Because I don't have big expectations from them with the current lineup. They should make important additions to some specific positions. And as long as they have a good coherence in the team after that, they can be one of the number one contenders for the league title.
I haven't seen a scenario of how Barcelona can solve its financial problems so far except receiving a long term loan from a certain company. This method may be able to restore Barcelona's financial condition under Laporta's leadership, but according to recent reports this offer has been rejected.You can expect to see Barcelona improve their form, but it won't happen as quickly as we imagined since Xavi became coach. Barcelona need more time to prepare all their young players for a lot of experience and a style of play.
I wonder whether there will be any team to stop Real Madrid's high dominance in the La Liga this season.
Maybe not, but it's still possible to see Real Madrid drop some point in the next 19 match.So far Real Madrid has a pretty far point difference between its competitors. Usually Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are the toughest rivals every season, but this season Real Madrid lead Laliga like nothing is going to stop them. Barcelona's poor form has turned La Liga into the most boring to watch among European league. I think we have no choice but to support Barcelona's performance improvement so that Laliga's rating can be good again.
But in 2022 we may have a little better hope to see Barcelona find their best form again. Real Madrid will continue to dominate, so that is undeniable in the current situation.

I suspect Barcelona will win vs Mallorca later, so I am very confident about that possibility. The previous match vs Sevilla was great for Barcelona, but I still can't convince myself that they can do it again when they travel to Mallorca. I don't think Mallorca is too difficult a team to beat, but Xavi has to convince his players to score goals. But before that, I think all players must really maintain their fitness during the New Year celebrations to be ready to compete for the 3 important points.

I see that Atletico Madrid's next game is going to be against Rayo Vallecano and it is a home game. Atletico Madrid have been doing really bad for so many weeks. They even have a losing streak of four games now. Thanks to this, Rayo Vallecano have got past them in the standings by getting more satisfying results. Atletico Madrid have a really hard job to do at this point as Vallecano are a really solid team now. But maybe this could be the end of this bad streak for Atletico Madrid.
this will be a pretty exciting match and I think this is a match that is quite worth watching because apart from fighting for this position it will also make them a bit threatened when they lose.Athletico's current performance is far from expectations because indeed they are now like a team in pain with their losing streak.
Technically maybe Athletico are still the favorites because they are away and their squad depth is quite good, but I will try to gamble here and will stay by Rayo's side even if they are guests and their squad is just mediocre.
