Barcelona will host Osasuna at home in the new week.We can call it a recovery match for Barcelona, who were eliminated from the Spanish Cup and lost 5-3 to Villareal in their last match in the league.Although they played well against Villarreal, they could not win. Barcelona, who managed to lead 3-2 in the 71st minute, was defeated 5-3 with 3 goals in the last 10 minutes, and now it is time to make up for it with Osasuna.
Because Barcelona lost badly in the home match against Villareal, whose position is below Osasuna, in this Laliga match, Barcelona will still be the favorite team, but doubts that they will recover soon will be on the minds of many people.
Barcelona gets odds around @ 1.36 and Osasuna around @ 10.00, odds that are not much different when Barcelona face Villareal, so if Barcelona can recover quickly they will get three points, to secure their top four position at the moment because Athletic is only two behind point with Barca and have the opportunity to shift their position. Xavi certainly wants his final season at Barca to bring his team to at least finish in the top four because if it fails it will be an unpleasant note in his coaching career.

Atletico Madrid will face Rayo Vallecano at home.It looks like an easy game for Atletico, but I think they will struggle.Rayo Vallecano is not in the relegation zone at the moment, but if they lose points in a few more games, they too could be on a downward trend towards the risk zone.

The Barcelona vs. Osasuna match won't be too difficult because it is almost certain that Barcelona will prevail. Despite the fact that Barcelona isn't playing well this season and that they were defeated by Villarreal last week, which left them feeling extremely disappointed, I don't think Barcelona will let Osasuna beat them. Osasuna can't even beat Barcelona because Osasuna didn't play well. Villarreal, on the other hand, had a strong performance and good players that can defeat Barcelona, which is why they won the match last week.

Regarding Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallenaco, I believe Atletico Madrid will win this match because they are winning their games more and more these days. After this match, Atletico Madrid plays Real Madrid the following week, and I believe the match will be difficult because Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid in their previous meeting, which I believe was due to Real Madrid's players' injuries. However, I think the second meeting will be difficult because Real Madrid will undoubtedly want to win because they will want to be at the top of the league table.

It is true that in terms of strength and history, Real Madrid is very different from Girona, because Real Madrid won the La Liga title several seasons ago. However, in my opinion, this season is very different from previous seasons, Girona is definitely very ready to face Real Madrid because I am sure Girona will work hard in this match and don't want to waste this opportunity to beat Real Madrid or draw. In my opinion, the one who has to be careful is Real Madrid because many people think that Girona is not much better than Real Madrid, maybe if Real Madrid loses to Girona it will definitely be very difficult to catch up on the points that Girona has.
Real Madrid doesn't come into existence today, they've been here before Girona and they know what's like to win trophies and major ones without any difficulties. This season is mainly between Real Madrid and Girona, they have recorded the best performance so far this season and there will be definitely only one winner, it can be Girona or Real Madrid, the trophy is up for a grab. Real Madrid and Girona are the topic of La Liga this season, they've the leading team that's capable of thrashing their opponents without facing any challenges, they have full focused on trophy, not relenting but focused on becoming champions.

I fully agree here and as for the first point you brought up, yes exactly, Girona is playing their open style with high pace and a lot of offensive pressure and it comes at a cost. But if they were bad in their offensive game, it wouldn't pay off and they were probably to be found somewhere in the middle of the table. But they understand very well what their strength is and they exploit their potential to its fullest.
They have young players and many players who have never experienced any chance to find for La Liga title. It is a magic season for Girona and their players are actually enjoying every match in this season. Together, they are making this magic season for their club and it can be recorded as a best season ever in Girona history even they won't be the league champion.

In their club history, they have had only 4 seasons in La Liga with a highest position is 10th. So I believe they will not fall to deeper than 9th position when this season ends, and it means they will make a new milestone in La Liga for their history.
This is because of the tactics possessed by the Girona coach, Michel, who was able to provide his extraordinary skills in building a club that was an ordinary club into an extraordinary club. Because thanks to him Girona was able to appear impressive and was difficult for other clubs to beat except Real Madrid, this season only Real Madrid has been able to beat Girona so Girona still appears quite confident and the coach they have has also given their best so as long as Girona still has a narrow points difference with Real Madrid then Girona still has a chance to win the Laliga title.

It is true that Girona is relatively new to La Liga because they have only participated in 4 seasons in La Liga and in the last 3 seasons they were relegated to the 2nd division and in an instant last season they were able to appear surprising and were in the middle of the standings and this season they are really at the top of the standings an extraordinary achievement if they can win the title then it will create an impressive La Liga history.

In the two upcoming matches we can witness really interesting matches and could be matches full of hot play.
This is difficult match for Girona and of course these two matches will be quite dangerous if Girona makes mistake because their position as top of the standings will really be at stake.

In the first match, Girona had to face Real Sociedad, which is one of the strongest teams this season, Real Sociedad is in 6th position and so far has only had 4 defeats.
In match like this, Girona must be more careful so that they don't make mistakes that open up gaps for Real Sociedad to have a chance to win the match.

And the toughest and most difficult match is against Real Madrid, we know that Real Madrid is in second place and only has very narrow point difference with Girona.
Moreover, this is home match for Real Madrid so it is certain that there will be quite significant pressure on Girona in their efforts to win.
Honestly, this is difficult match for Girona to win.

Girona squad composition is not perfect like Madrid, so currently Girona is better off letting the Copa Del Rey go rather than losing the opportunity to get the La Liga Trophy, if Girona forces to target all competitions then I'm sure their squad will fail to win the trophy Considering the composition of the players they have,
Of course you are right Girona players are not on the equal performance with real Madrid because irrespective of the fact that Girona is on the first position on the league table doesn't mean that they are stronger than real Madrid because I'm confident that if real meet Girona there is every possibility that they will likely win Girona because even on there last meeting real Madrid won them so perhaps just like you said the best thing Girona should do is to focus all there energy on this Spanish La Liga instead of dividing there attention because if they are not consistent enough this time and real Madrid manages to take over the first position Girona will mostly find it very difficult entering the first position again.

maybe this season's competition is over for Barcelona. it will be very difficult to get even 1 title. just the champion league is very heavy. in the champion league there are Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Real Madrid, yet there is still PSG who can be said to be the strongest candidates in the champion league this season, maybe in the eighth final Barcelona can be eliminated. his opponent Napoli is quite strong and has the potential to get rid of Barcelona.
Winning the title is almost impossible for Barcelona with the current condition and performance of the team, but they will continue to chase points in order to finish in the top 4, I think that is the most realistic target for the Barcelona team this season.
Against Osasuna will certainly not be easy for the Barcelona team because the Barcelona team is currently in poor self-confidence after the series of defeats they have experienced.
Even though I will be playing at Barcelona's home ground, I am reluctant to bet on Barcelona winning, maybe I will think about other betting options over goals or under because in my opinion Barcelona's percentage of winning the match is very small.

If klop should consider going to Spain then his most probable destination will be Real Madrid which happens to be one of the richest across Europe and they are one of the libra in the sense that they are very good with how well they pay their Coach's and players they will do much better than Barcelona would have done so it's much more better with Madrid than with Barcelona.
It is much more possible, even though there are no rumors that he will go to Real Madrid, but if you look at the condition of Barcelona which is currently experiencing financial problems, recruiting Jurgen Klopp is something that is quite impossible to happen. Real Madrid has standards when it comes to bringing in a coach and from what we can see, Jurgen Klopp is a figure who fits these criteria. Because he has succeeded in bringing Liverpool to become a club that is quite taken into account since he has been a coach in the previous few seasons until now.

I know going by needs Barcelona seem to need the intervention of a good coach such as klop but then they seem to lack the liberality to take care of this caliber of coach and still maintain a healthy pay with the players, I'm saying this because Barcelona isn't poor even with all the stories of the financial crises around the team, they are still ranked around top four richest team in Europe so it only means that there's a restriction to how funds are been spent from the top management of the team and that's why it's looking like there's a financial Crisis in Barcelona.
This club is currently experiencing a financial crisis and agree or not their condition is quite dangerous now. Of course they are not poor, but in recent seasons financial problems have been very difficult to resolve, so their superstars had to be released to PSG and there was a reduction in salaries for several players. If Barcelona is unable to win the title, it will be difficult for sponsors to come in and this condition will make things even worse for them.

Although they played well against Villarreal, they could not win. Barcelona, who managed to lead 3-2 in the 71st minute, was defeated 5-3 with 3 goals in the last 10 minutes, and now it is time to make up for it with Osasuna.
It doesn't really help when your players make two errors that lead to goals[1]. Not to mention your keeper failed to catch or stop any shot aimed at him. Feels bad for the man but I'm sure he lacks confidence, and maybe the whole squad too. Not to mention Xavi's announcement will probably affect their future matches too. Finishing the top 4 should be a realistic target and should be their target though. It would be disastrous if they lose another Champions League money, which will affect their financial situation even further. CMIIW.

Historically, they have a better lead against Osasuna, scoring more than 1 goal on average across multiple seasons[2]. If they fail to win against a team that sits on the 12th of the table with that kind of record, the atmosphere will be really bad IMO. They need to win that game.

Quote
Now imagine they finish the season as the title winner and then know that they have to improve their defense next season.
Win La Liga or don't win it, Girona will have to face with a very tough summer transfer season because many bigger clubs are sending their scouts to watch Girona players and are thinking of transfer offers to Girona in order to buy players from this small club.

The risk of playing with an attacking scheme is conceding a lot of goals, however Girona can balance this with the productivity of the goals scored, and that has succeeded in placing them at the top of the La Liga standings at the moment. Matches that feature open play are of course more interesting, because they make the audience adrenaline even encouraged, I think everyone will agree with that. Previously we only thought of Girona as a team that was consistent for a moment, but now they have become a team that deserves respect from everyone, they only lost to Madrid.

Regarding the rivalry in the hunt for trophies this season, Madird and Girona will continue to compete fiercely, and I feel that only these two teams have a better chance of winning the trophy at the end of the season. Barcelona and Atletico, as we can see now, are both 10 points behind Girona, and it is difficult to get back into the hunt for trophies while leading the standings in the future. Barcelona and Atletico are only trying to stay in the top four of the La Liga standings, and secure a slot to appear in the Champions League next season.

I fully agree here and as for the first point you brought up, yes exactly, Girona is playing their open style with high pace and a lot of offensive pressure and it comes at a cost. But if they were bad in their offensive game, it wouldn't pay off and they were probably to be found somewhere in the middle of the table. But they understand very well what their strength is and they exploit their potential to its fullest. Now imagine they finish the season as the title winner and then know that they have to improve their defense next season. They are in a great position to sign new players for their defense. They have the money as their is a huge investment fund behind the club. This could become a success story in the next few years that nobody really anticipated.

I again agree as the trend is the same. Both teams only lost one game and they tie a game every now and then, but I don't see how any of these two teams would have a losing streak anytime soon.

Xavi will leave Barcelona at the end of this season and I'm not sure he will stay with Barcelona next season which is probably very unlikely to be on the board at Barcelona. Xavi will continue to coach other teams in his next career and maybe he will look for new challenges in Serie A and also Ligue 1.
We know that Xavi has the quality to build a squad and of course there will be many offers coming to him when he officially leaves Barcelona at the end of this season.

I hope that Xavi can coach a team from the Premier League because it would be quite interesting to see Pep Guardiola against Xavi in ​​the position of coach. But for that, we'll just have to wait and see how Xavi continues, whether he will also choose to take a break like Kloop did.

Xavi has his best moments with Barcelona in the past and during this season the results aren't that satisfying for him nor for the club and the fans. It was supposed for him to leave after the defeat against Real Madrid but he delayed it until the heavy defeat against Villarreal by 5 goals. Obviously, we cannot blame this defeat on him only but also players like Lewandowski whose performance dropped considerably, but also the fight with the stuff, including Deco, who refuse to bring good players due to their financial problems..
Xavi will find another good club by the end in Europe or even in Saudi Pro League if he wants, otherwise there is many names that are planned to replace him, namely Hansi Flick, Jürgen Klopp but he is still with Liverpool until the end of the season, De Zerbi or even Thomas Tuchel and we can imagine the rage of Bayern Munich if this rumour gets confirmed Roll Eyes

Getafe win finally. They had a bad 3-game streak. They came to a conclusion with Mason Greenwood and Borja Mayoral. Granada won a penalty, but they couldn't convert it into a goal. It's impossible for them to turn the match around now. Fortunately, the fixtures came to the aid of Getafe and they faced Granada. Granada is one of the teams that I see guaranteed to be relegated this season. They don't have a squad of La Liga quality. In fact, if you exclude Uzuni, they had no chance in the league. Even though he missed a penalty today, he is the most important player of the team.

Greenwood is enjoying start to life again playing football onla Liga, and is also getting onto the scoresheet regularly as well; what do you think of his football career if his incredible form continues ?

Another good win for getafe who desires European football

This is a very painful blow for Barcelona, being beaten so badly at home. What's more, it is Villareal, who incidentally is not a very strong team this season. Even when we look at the statistical data and track record this season, Villarreal really has a declining performance. However, they actually beat Barcelona at Camp Nou. This certainly makes Xavi even more stressed with this very unexpected result.
The result of the clash between Barcelona and Villarreal was really one evident display to buttress my point, which is,  Barcelona needs a better striker and a key influence in the midfield like Messi. Even though they tried using another player to fill the spot, it would take more seasons before they return to what they were before.
Barcelona has indeed experienced quite an extraordinary setback since the era when Iniesta, Xavi and Messi left there. Coupled with very bad financial problems at that time, Barcelona has to experience various difficulties even now. In fact, Xavi, who is currently Barcelona coach, will leave Barcelona at the end of this season. because the demands at Barcelona are very high, especially from the fans. Meanwhile, Barcelona's current condition is not as good as before, especially on the financial side. So, no matter what, it's quite complicated to get Barcelona back to its former glory.

Getafe win finally. They had a bad 3-game streak. They came to a conclusion with Mason Greenwood and Borja Mayoral. Granada won a penalty, but they couldn't convert it into a goal. It's impossible for them to turn the match around now. Fortunately, the fixtures came to the aid of Getafe and they faced Granada.

Yeah, now the match has entered the 90+ minute mark. And the position is still 2 - 0 in favor of Getafe. So it seems that it is certain that Getafe will win. Moreover, Granada's defense was not good enough, which opened up many gaps for Getafe to attack. But unfortunately, Getafe are also not that good at attacking, because even now they are also quite bothered by Granada who are controlling the ball position.

I see that Barcelona is not as bad as Manchester United, they only lost badly in the last 2 matches (losing 4-2 to Bilbao and losing 5-3 to Villareal), I am sure of Xavi even though he is currently confused about what other strategy he should use to boost the squad's performance.
still remember a few seasons ago when Barcelona was in a crisis, Xavi came as a savior, well, of course xavi will be able to return barcelona's performance to its original place, however barcelona has good players, it would be a shame if barcelona followed in the footsteps of manchester united.

Xavi isn't confused. He knows exactly what he said and he is going to regret it. Didn't you see many times he said Barcelona is only happy when you win, they don't entertain losses. He must have face a lot of critiques and query got not doing better right now in the club, don't you think it's saner to have a peace of mind than work where they give you high blood pressure just because they want you to make them happy, these men are human beings and has feelings too even if they asked for this job.

Barcelona is now a complicated club that struggle financial and yet they want a first class treatment, not a bad idea but you can't push Xavi to the wall and you don't expect him not to react. I'm sure that if he finished the season among top club, they will get another caoch that will lead this time to the Champions League. That's how Chelsea lost Tuchel and till today, the club has been useless with noting to show for two years now.
