It will hurt a lot of people's eyes the way Barcelona is playing and performing now. Will this team actually play a significant role for the championship in the coming years? The chances for this season have been lost, only in theory they could still become champions. In fact, the way they continue now, they won't even be allowed to play Champions League next season.

Yes, it's a shame to see Barcelona's performance this season, they are far behind the leaders Real Madrid, who usually become their rivals in the fight for the title with Atletico Madrid. In my view, losing Lionel Messi has had an effect on the team. Xavi Hernandez, who was appointed to replace Ronald Koeman in the Barcelona coaching chair, has so far not been able to bring the team nicknamed the Blaugrana to rise from adversity.

Losing Messi and also the impact of financial problems made Barcelona currently quite slumped, even now they are too easy to lose points from other teams, bringing Xavi to Barcelona is one way to lift Barcelona's performance back, but now Barcelona have not got significant results Even so, at least Xavi still has plenty of time to make Barcelona bounce back, now the transfer market will open soon and this is Xavi opportunity to improve the existing squad.

La Liga is getting a bit boring to be honest. Seville is far behind Real Madrid and the rest are nowhere to be seen. Perhaps is becoming more fun to watch the games of the teams in the middle table rather than watching Madrid grinding everything on its path. I would have never thought at the beginning of La Liga that it would play out this way: Barca was very well caught off-balance and everyone knew so, but the dominance of Madrid in my view was not something that could be expected since they were also impacted by the loss of Ronaldo and nobody could predict how the rest of team just step up easily and do great.

As a Real Madrid fan, I'm happy to see Real Madrid leading the way but it's true like you said, when there is no strong enough competitor to fight for the title, then the competition will be boring. La Liga still has a long way to go, I hope big teams like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid can recover from their slump so that the title race becomes even more excited.

Even I who don't have a favorite team but still feel happy to see Madrid so far, because in the beginning Madrid didn't go well for this season but who knows. Madrid can show positive results with their new coach this season, so with this achievement I think it's still quite interesting. Also, although Atletico and Barcelona may recover in the near future, they basically won't be contenders for the title race this season, but since you said La Liga is boring because Madrid already have the top spot. At least we can still see competition for the top four spots at least for the 3rd and 4th positions, because with Atletico and Barcelona still out of the top four. So of course, La Liga will still be interesting until the end of the season considering the hunt for a top four position which will be a competition with the rise of Atletico and Barcelona.

We watched a match in the first 10 minutes, the result of which is clear. In the match where Real Madrid scored 2 goals with its timeless striker Karim Benzema, Athletic Bilboa announced the score of the match with a goal in the 10th minute. No goals were scored in the remaining 80 minutes. Although Bilbao tried to draw, they could not score a goal. Real Madrid continue this week without loss. Granada, on the other hand, managed to win 2-1 in the match that fell 1-0. Joao Felix's goal was not enough.

yes, if barcelona and ATM don't quickly improve their condition, only real madrid will be the favorites one to win the Laliga this season.

Do you still think that Barcelona Atletico Madrid has any chance to win the title? Atletico Madrid is 18 points behind Real Madrid and Barcelona is 17 points behind. How can they expect a title from so many points behind? Now they should only fight to stay in the top 4 of the points table.

Yes, even if Atletico and barcelona can improve their performance in the near future, I do not believe these two teams will be a threat to Madrid. It is difficult to overcome the problems that exist in the team, even though they are able to recover at least they will only be enough to compete for the top 4 positions and not for the title race. As I said before, basically these two teams still have a chance for the position because they just need to get rid of Betis and Rayo Vallecano, it looks easy. But with Atletico's declining performance, then of course they will still struggle and need greater efforts to fully recover.

The way Atletico Madrid has lost form, it will be really difficult for them to rise to the top of the points table now. Compared to them, Barcelona's performance is somewhat stable. They could not win the match but are sharing the points. Atletico Madrid is just 1 point behind Rayo Vallecano. And 4 points behind Real Betis. Maybe before the end of the season, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will be able to correct their mistakes and qualify for the Champions League again.

No doubt Atletico Madrid has been in total lost of form. Atletico Madrid are very dreadful at the moment.
Simeone once renowned for their stinginess at the back now concedes at every opportunity. Atletico conceded six goals from just eight shots on target in the last three games, mainly because of the team's defensive frailties. Having been able to take even a draw from the 4 games they’ve played in the month of December. Even Granada that plays terrible football won this Atletico side. Life has been very hard for Diego and his team this season. The biggest issue for the coach is that his side cannot seem to find the way to goal without Suarez either. The likes of Portugal youngster Joao Felix and Antoine Griezmann have proven a huge disappointment this season. Simeone should just leave and let someone with better tactics and style of good football take over. They have some good players in the team but are falling off the cliff.

true, as if there is no challenge when the gap between RMA and Sevilla is separated quite a lot, RMA will likely continue to slide in front when the standings below are competing for the best position. since there is no ronaldo and messi in Laliga it feels boring and the normally fierce El Clásico now tastes bland. The transfer of ronaldo and messi has definitely brought their fans to a new league and new team Is it possible that Laliga was abandoned by fans when the league was less attractive in international football.

Real Madrid now are in very good position but it does not mean they already put their hands on La Liga title. In the past season, Atletico Madrid had a very good first half of season but they struggled to win in a second half of season. Then, we witnessed a very tight race for La Liga title till very last rounds between Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Sevilla. The title was given to Atletico Madrid in final day only.

It can happen again in this season if Real Madrid won't maintain their good performance.

It's just that the club's management is used to Diego Simeone consistently achieving results with the players he has. At the same time, let's not forget that these same players, with rare exceptions, won the title of champions last season and their skill was quite enough to achieve this goal.

Atletico Madrid began this season as a champion and they got many advantages to begin, compares to chaotic conditions in Barcelona and old squad in Real Madrid. They just won a title a few months ago and have younger and more stable squad. Their players play together last few seasons. I don't know somehow Simeone and Atletico Madrid's players wasted such advantages and fell too far behind Real Madrid.

Atletico Madrid have been continually disappointing me due to an unknown reason. Something has changed about them and they started losing so many times. They are on a losing streak of four games now which is very alarming. I wonder if there is some kind of in-team problem that they still haven't managed to solve. Because normally, I haven't seen Simeone's Atletico Madrid like this for a very long time.

Diego Simeone was supposed to leave Atletico Madrid so long ago otherwise his golden era at the club might get ruined in just a few years. This week marked 10 years at the club but with Atletico's recent poor performance, something needs to be done.
Oblak is longer that sharp keeper, Suarez isn't as good as he was last season. Could Simeone have failed to get a hold of the dressing room?

The board didn't support simeone in the transfer market after he gave them the league title last season they would have support him more.mow he has no depth in his squad,the injuries he had at the defence positions is hurting his team,and don't say he would have gone to another team when he got the chance,you are wrong because he is an Atletico man he plays there coach there,his children were born in the city, he took them to champions League finals twice, he stop Barca and Madrid dominance he is an icon just last season he won the league.

It's just that the club's management is used to Diego Simeone consistently achieving results with the players he has. At the same time, let's not forget that these same players, with rare exceptions, won the title of champions last season and their skill was quite enough to achieve this goal. We also see on the example of Barcelona what excesses are brought to in the club's transfer policy. Although, of course, reinforcements are always needed, but this is also quite problematic due to the epidemic and the fall in income as a result. Another question is that the crisis has dragged on and it is unknown how long it will last and these lost points may not be enough then at the finish of the season, because Real Madrid is starting to break away.

Benzema continues to do his job superbly. He scored two more goals in the Athletic Bilbao game and increased his La Liga goals in this season to 15.

He knows Real Madrid relies on him in scoring, so he always does his best in every match. Among all Real Madrid CFs, only Benzema who can score constantly during this season, Jovic and Diaz cannot show promising performance. Anyway, Benzema probably will be the top scorer in La Liga this season, there are no strong competitors on the top scorer list.

Quote from: kayiboyu on December 23, 2021, 01:47:11 PM

I really appreciate Real Madrid about not selling Benzema so far and making him a big part of the team all the time.

Benzema is a loyal player, that seems the main reason why he is always in Real Madrid lineup every season. When there is CR7 in Real Madrid, Benzema wants to play in whatever position instructed by the coach. He ever played as a left-winger or even a right-winger at that time. He didn't complain and refused the instruction, he only showed the coach his best. I assume this is one of the factors why Benzema can stay a long time in Real Madrid.

Benzema has almost the same seasons in Real Madrid - he is a very stable and cool player. But against the background of Ronaldo, of course, he was in the shadows, but there was no blocking of potential, that's for sure.

It's a natural thing to happen to a player if in a club there is another star player, the same thing happened to Benzema when he was still playing with Ronaldo at Madrid, of course Ronaldo will get more attention from the media and that makes Benzema covered by the shadow of Ronaldo greatness, the same like what happened to neymar and suarez when they were still playing with messi in barcelona and it was seen that the prestige of neymar and suarez decreased even though both were the best players at their previous clubs, that's why I think if mbappe now prefers to leave PSG because it could be his career will be hampered by the arrival of messi, now after the departure of ronaldo, benzema managed to bring out his best form and make him now one of the players who have an important role in the madrid squad.

If Mbappe were to leave I don't think his decision we be because he don't want Messi to block his shine, what every good players want is to play for a successful team that has harmony,beside Mbappe has drop his intention of wanting to play for Madrid before they sign Messi, almot all big clubs has this kind of situation and is never a problem as long as it breed success. Ronaldo and Rooney at United, Juan Mata and Hazard at Chelsea, Mata won player for the season twice for Chelsea yet neutral fans love hazard more,Torres and Kurt at Liverpool,melito and Samuel Eto at inter, etc it happens in all the big teams.

It's so embarrassing to be expecting positive results from Athletico Madrid and get less.
Lossing to Granada alone set them aside, they're not ready to successfully defend the title.

Ancellotti should be applauded, whenever a team does good,it has to do with the manager.
Real Madrid has been blooming like a flower, turning Real Madrid lads into winner's.
He understands the system and knows what's best for the team...Good decision making from the management.
Hope they don't rely much on Karim benzema for goals during the Champions League against Paris saint Germans.

Atletico Madrid are already out of the title race as it seems. Because their losing four times in a row in the league caused them to be seventeen points behind Real Madrid now. Of course, Atletico Madrid have an absent game and they can make the gap fourteen points if they win. But this doesn't still make a big difference obviously. They can at least focus on the best place that they can end the season at. There is logically no chance for them to defend their title unless there is a miracle in the remaining games.

To tell the truth, I was waiting for Sevilla to become victorious in this game. But Barcelona interestingly overwhelmed the game in the first and second half both. And after Sevilla got a red card in the 64th minute, things started being much harder for them. They should be thankful for being able to manage to maintain a 1-1 score until the end. I haven't seen Barcelona this willing to win for a while. It is a good sign about them.

I expected Barcelona to take advantage of the red card Sevilla got in the second half. I literally thought Barcelona was going to score another goal, but their performance in this match was quite impressive. Although, Sevilla was the first to score, and were in a better position of winning, since it was their home match. Anyway, they tried by resisting Barcelona despite playing with 10 players. However, Barcelona needs to improve their performance, as they will be playing the Europe League.

Too many Star players will also create little competition with one another. With a formation that will certainly be favored each other is also not too good for a club. You're right Mbappe will be less sticking out when Messi and Neymar are in it. I agree that if Mbappe leaves PSG, besides he has to develop, he also has to interact a lot with other clubs to further expand what he has and needs to develop. Gaining experience will be very important for Mbappe.

If this season PSG fail to seal the Champions League title then I agree Mbappe should move to another team who are interested in him. Real Madrid is by far the most likely team to land Mbappe's signature and perhaps this team will fulfill Mbappe's dream for the Champions League.

I think Messi's presence in the team can help PSG achieve that dream this season or next season, although there are no guarantees but of course they always have hope to do better. Maybe Real Madrid is an obstacle for PSG this season, but hope is still open in the two legs of the last 16.
