You are right, Barcelona was totally destroyed, both mentally and sportingly, without exaggerating I think that since they let Messi go from the team they lost the only key piece that kept that team standing, it is like having removed his spine to the team, however there are many players who are very good and who can make a difference, only now they have to adapt to a game system that may be old with arrangements that Xavi can make, it is like a little Pep Guardiola starting his career with a team of great tradition and scope.

Sevilla are going to be my favourite in the Sevilla vs Barcelona match today. They are on a winning streak of three matches in the league now. And they are strong enough to take advantage of Barcelona's very inconsistent form lately. Maybe Barcelona defeated Elche the last time but it wasn't even a comfortable win also. Against a this strong Sevilla, they will have a really hard time certainly.
There is a big game today between Sevilla and Barcelona. They both are going to be playing their missing game and Sevilla have a nice advantage of playing home. They both got wins last week. Sevilla won a really competitive game against Atletico Madrid by one goal. And Barcelona finally won by 3-2 against Elche and got the result they wanted. But here, Sevilla are one step ahead of Barcelona. They have a golden opportunity to make the gap with Real Madrid three points. I don't think they will miss this chance.
The Sevilla vs Barcelona match is likely to be exciting, as both teams need to win and don't want to lose points. Sevilla will definitely want to catch up
to Real Madrid's points, and Sevilla also showed very good form in the last 3 matches. Moreover, the previous match Sevilla managed to beat Atletico
who were winners of the La Liga trophy the previous season, so this win definitely boosts the morale of Sevilla players. Barcelona has so far not shown
an impressive performance, even to beat Elche they had a hard time. Many predict Barcelona will be defeated by Sevilla, but since Xavi became
coach of Barcelona, it is very visible that Barcelona's game has changed for the better. So don't underestimate Barcelona, moreover Barcelona must be
very motivated to beat Sevilla, because this is their chance to rise to a higher position. For me, the Sevilla vs Barcelona match will likely end in a draw,
but both teams will score goals.

In La Liga, each team has played about 17/18 matches. In my opinion, the title fight will only be between Sevilla and Real Madrid. Real Madrid collected 43 in 18 matches and Sevilla collected 37 in 17 matches. Betis and Vallecano, the third and fourth teams in the table, have collected 33 and 30 points respectively. Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have yet to collect 30 points. Sevilla are playing well, but are they strong enough to win the title? I don't think so. Their next match is against Barcelona, they will be able to win against Barcelona. But I'm not sure if they will be able to maintain a good performance by the end of the season.
Real Madrid topping the league with 43 point is giving them strong edge to contest earnestly for the Spanish league title. Sevilla can also contest for it if they can win the remaining matches for the season. But currently it's just real Madrid that seems fit for the laliga trophy. Sevilla win against Barcelona is a straight one but how about their future matches the just have to keep a clean record to meetup with Real Madrid

Basically Levante can dominate the game and that is something extraordinary, here I only see from the side of their ranking in the standings where the bottom ranked team is against the team in the top 10. Aggressive play clearly worked for the home team, but unfortunately Levante were unlucky and poor in finishing so the result remained a prolonged loss for Levante. It's difficult for Levante right now to get out of the relegation zone, I'm not sure Levante will stay in La Liga next season even though in a few matches Levante can get points, but I'm sure it's still not enough to get out of the relegation zone.
Crazy match between Valencia and Levante. What an ending that was! I thought I would see another drama in the last minutes like a 4-4 scoreline but I guess that's too much to ask hehe.
Real Madrid not scoring a single goal is news to me. Over 80% possession and 36 shots sounds too dominant except that none of it matters when they don't take three points.
The kind of result that can happen every once in a while. Madrid had around 36 shots I believe after all, but Cadiz held firm and played for the 0-0. It is embarrassing to draw 0-0 at home to a struggling side like Cadiz. On a day, when Man City defeat Newcastle United 4-0 away as well. Ancelotti Real Madrid need to be more lethal. Cadiz played all players behind the ball all through the game, but they could have converted some of the chances. Real Madrid doesn't look spectacular against Cadiz neither like a team that can fight against PSG. You don't drop ammunition's in war fronts especially against small enemies by assuming that they can't defeat you. Game like this are meant to be won to keep up points and staying ahead of your competitors. Real Madrid not scoring a single goal is news to me. Over 80% possession and 36 shots sounds too dominant except that none of it matters when they don't take three points.

Levante just continue to help us watch great games for two weeks in the La Liga. Both of their games ended with a 4-3 result. Levante lost to Espanyol and Valencia with the same result and these could have been the biggest opportunities for them to get even two wins in a row. I still appreciate Levante's high effort on these weeks. At least, they are not giving up and trying to make it.
Levante loss the match because of the two players that was affected by covid-19 which they are the key players of the team. It hard the team to defeat Levante because the both team are very strong in this season but it will hard Espanyol to qualify . Espanyol have a strong team to meet in their next match which will be difficult for them to win, if they fail to apply another strategy before the match.

The match was thrilling, I also thought there could be one last drama to unfold. It was an even game, and could have gone either way, Valencia getting within one before the halftime break was probably the best reason why it was a bit easier to start the 2nd half on a strong foot.
Xavi is slowly and steadily building his team,a team that can create chances and score goals.And building the team with young players is the best thing I see him doing.
I still don't see any progress, though. Such projects might take some time, but we should have already seen a different attitude from Xavi's Barcelona team compared to Koeman's.My personal opinion is that the Barcelona faithfuls will wait for a long time for Xavi to deliver them to the promise land, which never comes. Eventually they will get fed up with him and will want a new change.
I mostly agree on the last part, about the fans eventually getting tired with Xavi and demand another change, but I believe there has been some significant differences between Koeman's and Xavi's tactics, perhaps haven't should that yet.
Sevilla v Barcelona can be another remarkable game of the season. I wish Barcelona were playing at the same level as the Barcelona that had Lionel Messi. But they are far away from it at least for now.
Seeing the recent conditioned Barcelona, I am not sure that Barcelona will win from Sevilla. Sevilla has greater performance so far moreover with their team players. All is good and better than Barcelona. We know that Xavi is trying to rise up this club again, but for now, maybe Barcelona will still have very small chance to win from Sevilla.

Yes, there is a little progress although it is still not very significant. At least, Xavi can make Barcelona players play a bit more solidly and confident with younger players. But I think Xavi doesn't totally rely on young players on the midfield and attacking line. Always put Dembélé, Coutinho, and Frenkie de Jong as the starters in a tough match. My prediction for that game is a 3-1 win in favour of Sevilla.
Sevilla seems in a good form. Sevilla players must be very confident to play against Barcelona after beating Atletico Madrid. 3-1 for Sevilla is a realistic result, nevertheless my personal prediction is 2-0 for Sevilla.Xavi is slowly and steadily building his team,a team that can create chances and score goals.And building the team with young players is the best thing I see him doing.

On the other hand, the club's fans really need to have a little patience and not make tragedies out of local failures or fall into euphoria from individual victories. I don't understand at all why people expect that a person without a lack of coaching experience in a top club and a top championship will suddenly quickly begin to achieve success. I recall on this occasion the words of Barcelona President Laporta about Xavi's debut, that Guardiola at one time it was easier to make his debut as a head coach, because the team was already there.

as soon as Valencia equalized that early in the 2nd half I knew they were going to win, Levante haven't won a single match yet in 18 matches in La Liga I think, but they managed to score a lot against some big teams, like real madrid, sevilla and today Valencia, probably their defense is causing them all of those troubles, I hope they can put themselves back together next year and get back La Liga asap.

Levante - Valencia game seems to be enjoyable to watch. Levante ended the first half by a 2-1 lead. Their scoring two goals in three minutes striked all of a heap for Valencia but they still managed to decrease the score difference to one and had a new hope before the end of the first half. I can't say that any side is dominating the game now. This might even lead to a very interesting result like in the Levante's previous game against Espanyol.
A very entertaining game so far it seems that valencia team managed to get ahead thanks to soler goals in the second half and now they are leading 3 2 after 78 minutes but still a very competitive one i think the game is not over yet any team can score.Statistics revealed that Levante was better in shots on or off targets.
In possessions and passes completed, Levante was ahead.
Maybe they would have won if not that luck ran from them.

Sevilla v Barcelona can be another remarkable game of the season. I wish Barcelona were playing at the same level as the Barcelona that had Lionel Messi. But they are far away from it at least for now. They need time to build a completely new Barcelona. And while they are taking their time, Sevilla aren't just standing where they are. They are performing even higher than the previous season. And here, they have the necessary power to defeat Barcelona too.
Xavi is slowly and steadily building his team,a team that can create chances and score goals.And building the team with young players is the best thing I see him doing.Playing against Sevilla,I think that game is really going to be tough for Barcelona,because they are very easy to concede goals,and Sevilla are really in form at this point in time,and won't allow Barcelona to defeat them at all.
My prediction for that game is a 3-1 win in favour of Sevilla.
