But about Barcelona I think this team will lose their ranking today if Girona manages to beat Rayo in today's match. because if Girona wins today's match then Girona will climb back to 2nd place and make Barcelona return to 3rd place. Rayo managed to hold Real Madrid to a draw and can they also do the same to Girona? This will be very interesting to watch.
Having experienced two defeats, Girona should have risen from adversity, it is clear that they are starting to feel defeat after a long journey to maintain their consistency at the top of the standings and in the end they fell and made mistakes towards the end of the season, this is what usually happens when a club is consistent but at the end of the season they are starting to get tired and injuries to key players are usually certain reasons for a club not being consistent at the end of the season.

Girona must admit that they cannot completely stay at the top of the standings and win the title this season, it seems that they do not have a winning mentality in the title race, Madrid and Barcelona have more of that mentality so they know better how to win the top position ahead. At the end of the season, it seems that Girona will have to be satisfied with yesterday's results and will have to drop to third place, even though they might be able to face Rayo and win the match to return to second place, at least Girona can finish in the top four, which is more than enough to get a UCL ticket. Next season.

I agree with you that Barcelona cannot catch up with Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table. Real Madrid is leading Barcelona with 8 points, and it will be hard to drop points that will make Barcelona equal or overtake them at the top of the La Liga table.
Actually it could be Barcelona if they are able to play consistently in the next match, but Real Madrid is too strong to expect them to be weak, because they continue to win and draw as if Real Madrid doesn't want to experience defeat in all their matches so it is natural that Barcelona will have difficulty to catch up with Real Madrid's current position, because we can see that Girona was unable to avoid Real Madrid's shadow and in the end Girona fell and ended up in third place in the current La Liga standings.
Today will determine if Girona will end up in third place in the La Liga table. Barcelona is getting back to form, but they cannot be that consistent in overtaking Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table. Barcelona will visit Athletic Bilbao in their next match, and if Barcelona doesn't play good football against Athletic Bilbao, they might lose some points there.
The gap is still big to the real madrid and how can the teams under real madrid take over real madrid's position instantly? it doesn't even make sense. I think that if we must be aware about the fact that if barcelona has been trying so hard to give their best but since it will not able to be done instantly and xavi can only told his club to be even more consistent in any game. It's hard to chase real madrid when it will stil perform consistent. Barcelona can only rely upon its luck to see madrid to go down again. Barcelona needs to work even harder to achieve better target than last season. The club can now focus on how to get into teh next stage of UCL.
The club is financially bad and i think that being able to perform better will be helping barcelona to get more money from playing the game. Im feeling that if barcelona will try to prevent xavi to step down as a coach. Even though barcelona struggled with so many things but it can still perform consistently.
The club is now at the second place and it's having big chance to get la liga again as long as real madrid will be missing points continuously. So, barcelona can only perform coonsitently and waiting for real madrid to miss the points. This will help barcelona to climbing up./

Cadiz hosted Celta Vigo at home. With both teams in the relegation zone and struggling to win in recent weeks, this match was of great importance for both teams.Celta Vigo scored in the first half to lead 1-0 at half time, but conceded 2 goals in the second half to earn a draw away from home. It's not a bad result for Celta Vigo, but Cadiz needed to win this match against their rival if they wanted to stay in the league.Cadiz's inability to win the match despite playing a more dominant game compared to their opponent is a difference in the quality of their squad.
Real Betis, on the other hand, got an important 3 points by winning 3-1 against Bilbao, the in-form team of the last weeks.Both teams have different goals.Bilbao wants to finish in the top 4 of the league while Betis wants to finish in the top 6.Betis' dominance against Bilbao allowed them to go 2-0 ahead in the first half.In the 40th minute, Nico Williams left his team 10 men, which was the decisive event in the match.

Real Madrid secured a stunning win against Sevilla in a breathtaking match. Luka Modrić scored the team's only goal late in the match to secure Real Madrid's victory. Had Luka Modrić not scored at this stage of the game, Real Madrid might have been content with a point. Real Madrid has 65 points to get three points in the last match while Barcelona is second in the points table with 8 points less. Real Madrid gained 3 points in this match which strengthened their number one position in the points table. The points gap created by the second-placed team in the points table with Real Madrid will be very difficult for Barcelona to close at this point of the season.
I wasn't really happy with Real Madrid's victory when they won against Sevilla, even though my bet won and I was also willing to let Madrid collect points again to stay at the top of the standings.

However, the goal that was scored was a single goal, which made me think that it was very difficult for Real Madrid to produce goals, Modric was the only goal that Ancelotti should be grateful for as a sign of Real Madrid's victory. Previously I hoped that Real Madrid could collect 2/3 goals. in the match against Sevilla but in fact Madrid was quite difficult.
Of course we expect a better performance from Real Madrid. Real Madrid are a top level team in Europe and should have done better against Sevilla. In this match most of the gamblers bet big amount for Real Madrid because the result of this type of match is certain but we have to wait a long time for this result to come in favor of Real Madrid and for a time it seemed that Real Madrid might fail to win. The way Modric scored at the last minute reminded me of his performance in 2018. The kind of performance we saw from him in the 2018 World Cup, the kind of goal we saw the team need in 2024.

Why are you not too happy to see Real Madrid win? Meanwhile, Real Madrid recently often get narrow wins so you don't need to dislike this victory and if the reason you don't like this victory is just because Real Madrid usually always score more than 1 score, you should be proud if Real Madrid managed to beat Sevilla. without conceding, whereas in several meetings Real Madrid has always been able to be broken through by Sevilla, but this time Real Madrid succeeded in maintaining their defense until the end of the match.

I really appreciated yesterday's victory and deserve praise because Real Madrid lost an important player who was injured and Ancelotti as Real Madrid coach managed to rotate players very precisely and fortunately Luka Modric came in at the right time and managed to save the win to add 3 points and securing the club's current position.
Real Madrid position is currently a little safer because currently Girona strongest competitor is experiencing a decline in performance and Barcelona will also not be able to catch up on points unless luck comes to Barca.
I don't know why a lot of people don't want Madrid to win, and it is not a narrow win for me because Madrid is in form and has shown a very high level of consistency, so, to me, they are doing very well at this point, so what is worth doing is what is doing well, and that is why I am always baking them. When Barcelona was winning, nobody was complaining, and now that it is Madrid, they are making it undeserving for real Madrid, and that is very bad, but that is how other fans behave. Just because it is not favoring them, they will find a fault. and when they wanted to play against Sevilla, there were not too many worries because they were in form.

I agree with you they deserve some praise. Sometimes, Sevilla can not be proven, and Real Madrid deserves to win. The strategy Ancelotti developed when rotating the plans was because sticking to one pattern is not very satisfying, and every game must be obsessive to know exactly what step to take.

It is a Fact that Luis Enrique is Already starting to Play without Mbappé , and that is something that I had not imagined , Without Mbappé how the Team reacts.

Life must go on my friend. Mbappe can't only stay on his comfort zone and the club must also accept the fact if mbappe will be leaving from there soon. Mbappe has a dream that needs to be achieved and it was winning all of trophies. The only chance for him to get UCL by joining in the real madrid as the strongest club in the world.
Enrique has stated that if mbappe was one of his important player but it will not even change the fact that if mbappe is still contributing a lot to the club till this time. Mbappe needs to find his best and he must be able to leave from there.

It is my belief that there will always be people who are at odds with his decisions, but I view it as a commonplace phenomenon in the present era. We will always be seeing people who like or dislike us. So, mbappe must leave from PSG caused by his career was always stuck in the same place.
He needs to make a new progress to push his performance. im hoping that everything will be fine for him. There were so much success story happened in the football for a player that took a big risk to leave from his comfort zone.

Just like when kyle walker left from totenham. Many people were disappointed it but he was able getting so many trophies in city. So, this proves that if we needs to chase our dream.

Real Madrid and Barcelona, who seems promising for the title this season? Ofcourse you already know the answer, is Real Madrid. They have the best competitive squad this season and weighing up the balance for triumphant victory shouldn't be a problem for them. However, Barcelona are also retracing their steps and gradually falling back to becoming competitive again, if they're able to maintain consistency in their games, there's origination of challenge for Real Madrid who's also finding slight difficulties in winning matches, Carlo Ancelotti will put his team back together.

Sevilla kept the score for a long time and were close to getting the point they wanted, but Modric spoiled their plans. Modric is playing great even at that age, he's a fine wine. I don't know if he will retire at the end of the season, but I'm lucky to have been able to watch him throughout his career. Real Madrid won despite missing so many players including Bellingham, Joselu and Carvajal, which is a good signal. They want to make no mistakes on their way to the championship.

Honestly I was jumping for joy when the game was still goalless just because I want the Girona to close in the gap and maybe top the league again but like you said Modric came and spoilt the party. I believe Madrid can never have such a fine player like Modric and for someone like him every coach would want to keep him till he gets tired of playing. About Modric retiring I feel this will be his last season for the club and some speculation went about him staying as one of the coaching staff, don't know how true that is but it will be nice to have him their since Madrid are now filled up with young lads.
Madrid are never the Madrid we used to know, these days they struggle against smaller opponent even in the UCL they find it hard to get the job done. I think they're missing that number 9 in their squad, the absence of Benzema is really choking them and if things are not done properly I see them losing this chance of being champions of la Liga.

Well, here Modric is from the old school, he is a very complete player, he has everything to be the best in the world again if he puts his mind to it, I don't care about the age of the players because I like the approach that he has in him. Real Madrid are giving their players, I know that these players mean that Ancelotti has played and it has worked out, Modric is undoubtedly one of the world's greatest players, even for me he is still better than Messi, because that ball gold, it doesn't make us believe in the beliefs of FIFA, what makes us believe the abilities are the things that players like this do, however what you say about missing a 9 caught my attention, and yes, Benzema It left a very big gap, but it is also Madrid's desire to bring in new players, and since they have always had that desire, it doesn't matter if they know how to improve them, the idea is that they bring in new and new ones to play, I don't agree With that, however, it is philosophy.

If a Mbappé arrives, I'm not right, he's a player who is going to totally disrupt Madrid's peace and even though many are already taking it for granted, it's something that annoys me, it shouldn't be, there are better players, I see Haaland better, much more loyal than a Mbappé who said No to Madrid once, so if I really would feel very disappointed with a Florentine Pérez, I hope that's not the case and things can develop differently.

PSG boss Luis Enrique all but confirms Kylian Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid



Quote
“Sooner or later, we have to get used to playing without Kylian Mbappe,” the Spanish tactician explained, as cited by FIFA journalist Abdellah Boulma.

Well this will be a blow for a Luis Enrique had a very good LIGUE 1 for his team, it seems if Mbappé is going he will take care of everything and it will be a problem, I have no idea who he wants to replace it with, it is difficult to find a A player like Mbappé is difficult to find, I would think that he wants a Haaland but it is difficult, they have him very well at City and Pep will not let him go for anything, the only one who could make him see that he could leave was Haaland, Although I know, if Madrid now goes for Haaland, this club also has no limits. If so, it would be something very great because having two players like these together with Vinicius, Bellingham, Rodrygo, well, it would be a combination that I don't know how they would do. but the galacticos would do it again.

This implies that things can be very Different because it Could be that they are people who can give definitive victories to a Madrid team that needs it, but how is PSG? They had the Most dangerous trident in the world and now they would not have Anyone , because after Messi, Ney and Mbappé they would become a team that would not have an outstanding star.

For me, PSG has to do something quickly, I don't know, but I think that if they remain in the hands of Luis Enrique, they will continue to bet that the chances are given to young, inexperienced players, and they would take out all the rookies, something that I don't see very well but that Nevertheless for him is only the best, because that is the type of Experience that he likes the Most.

Luis Enrique drops huge Kylian Mbappe bombshell after surprise PSG substitution



Quote
The sight of Mbappe on the bench against Nantes came as a huge surprise, as did Enrique's decision to withdraw the 25-year-old shortly after the hour mark in Sunday's game against Rennes. PSG were a goal down at the time and needed a 97th-minute penalty from his replacement, Goncalo Ramos, to salvage a 1-1 draw.

After the game, Enrique was asked about the unusual decision to substitute Mbappe while PSG were losing, and the boss appeared to confirm the French superstar is on his way out of the club.

"It must happen sooner or later, we must get used to playing without Kylian Mbappe," Enrique told the press.

For me, Real Madrid's ability to win on their off days sets them apart. Modric coming off the bench and changing the game in minutes is fantastic. They have this ace that can flip the match around no matter what. It helps them keep the title

Unfortunately, Barcelona's scenario is disappointing. It looks like a big hill to climb for them after Real Madrid extending the gap. They've been doing well lately. The struggle for third place between Girona, Atletico Madrid, and Athletic Club will be wild
I don't know if other people feel the same way as me or not. that is, I felt touched when I saw Modric play and score a quite fantastic goal. And apart from that, even though this was only a narrow victory, in the end we can still believe that Real Madrid will remain at the top until the season ends.

But about Barcelona I think this team will lose their ranking today if Girona manages to beat Rayo in today's match. because if Girona wins today's match then Girona will climb back to 2nd place and make Barcelona return to 3rd place. Rayo managed to hold Real Madrid to a draw and can they also do the same to Girona? This will be very interesting to watch.

Regardless of what happened in this match, I am actually quite satisfied with what Madrid did even though they only won with a narrow score in today's match.
Indeed, in terms of performance during the 90 minutes of the match there were several opportunities that were wasted in this match which made Madrid a little inconvenient to get 3 points but on the other hand we need to remember that Sevilla is also unpredictable even before they beat Atletico because of their disturbance and defense which is quite good so I still consider it a fairness if in this match Madrid experienced hassles.

On the other hand, we need to realize that in this match Ancelotti applied Madrid's standard scheme last season where previously they always did with 4-3-1-2 but in this match they actually did a 4-3-3 formation which in my opinion was a formation that was rarely done by Madrid this season.
I quite like this scheme even though we missed the game without Jude on the pitch.

So far this season, Real Madrid have been very much active and set towards the La Liga trophy goal. They've in many weeks played games and ensured good results that's gotten and kept them in the top spot of the league table. Even though a couple of times, their performances have been reducing in range, they've still being able to manage a win before the end of the game. Well, they still have the champions confidence and determination in them too, adding that their manager is very much experimental in his approach to their games. They're a good team and they sure do know how to fix up their errors.

 Well it's very much essential that they correct errors faster and avoid incidents that are drastic and costly to occur as the times left won't entertain mistakes because it'll only be irreparable. Their weekend encounter against Sevilla well ended in a victory for them but they ought to have done better. Their performances in time past was enough evidence to show how capable they are for the game against Sevilla. Well, I don't know exactly who to blame though but I feel they're starting to take chances too. I think it only got scary and dangerous two games ago when they took on Vallecano and were left to a draw. Now one would think how such proactive team playing the host would succumb to a visiting team who are less performing than they are. Well that's the unpredictable nature of football. Sevilla themselves have all time being tough contenders in the league, giving big teams tough times too and it's understandable that they were able to ensure and cover up all the chances Madrid tried to make in the game. Well Madrid are a better team and they've got to show it on the pitch. We'll see how the next games would hold up for them.

Most difficult match for Real Madrid last night waiting for until 81th minutes before Luka Modric scoring beautiful goals from outside penalty box, Madrid lead early on second half trough Lucas Vázquez's goal was disallowed after the referee looked at VAR and potential foul made by Nacho. I am expected Madrid easily for winning about two until three goals but most discipline of Sevilla defend and good performance from Sergio Ramos made Madrid has one goal winning only.

Not matter with one winning goal because enough for Madrid keep leading the top position standings behind 8 points left from Barcelona on 2nd standings position awhile. Seems little easy for Real Madrid winning La Liga tittle in this season with 12 matches left and must improving their performance for winning every match. Until three matches later against Valencia, Celta Vigo and Osasuna I think not difficult for Madrid get three points.

Quote from: ShowOff
The match is not over yet and Real Madrid is already leading 1-0. Luka Modric scored the goal and he really brought a lot of changes to the game since he came on. Real Madrid tried to set a calmer tempo since winning 1-0 and that was more than enough to end the match.

Real Madrid still maintain the one goal till the end of the match. I know it was not an easy match from both teams, and Real Madrid players think what will happen if they lose the  match to Sevilla and they put hands together to use the 81 minutes to achieved the winning goal. Based on what Luka modric did to saved Real Madrid from shame,  because assume Sevilla win the match it would have make Real Madrid manager not to be happy with his players but Luka modric scored the goal that gave them victory. I think, Real Madrid manager need to do some homework to work on their midfield so that this challenge will not repeat itself again because their strikers did not receive much from their midfielders.
Real Madrid's win against Sevilla extended the points gap to their nearest rivals and will put them in the lead to retain the league title. Real Madrid didn't create many chances to score in the last match but when Modric came on in the 75th minute instead of Nacho, he managed to score a goal after 6 minutes and Real Madrid secured a win. With 8 points less than Real Madrid, Barcelona's chances of being the best in the league are almost at the bottom. Although they have performed well in the last matches and have come to the second place in the points table. There will be a great competition for the third place between Girona, Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club.
For me, Real Madrid's ability to win on their off days sets them apart. Modric coming off the bench and changing the game in minutes is fantastic. They have this ace that can flip the match around no matter what. It helps them keep the title

Why are you not too happy to see Real Madrid win? Meanwhile, Real Madrid recently often get narrow wins so you don't need to dislike this victory and if the reason you don't like this victory is just because Real Madrid usually always score more than 1 score, you should be proud if Real Madrid managed to beat Sevilla. without conceding, whereas in several meetings Real Madrid has always been able to be broken through by Sevilla, but this time Real Madrid succeeded in maintaining their defense until the end of the match.

Real Madrid position is currently a little safer because currently Girona strongest competitor is experiencing a decline in performance and Barcelona will also not be able to catch up on points unless luck comes to Barca.

I thought that the match against Sevilla would make it very difficult for Real Madrid to win and as we can see, Sevilla is a very strong team when facing teams whose levels are quite different. Real Madrid repeatedly had opportunities and it felt like since Jude Bellingham's absence they had difficulty scoring goals. There is also Ferlan Mendy who often helps attacks and gets ball passes but is not very alert when the ball comes suddenly.

Apart from that, from Real Madrid's starting line up, no one was able to score a single goal until finally the Croatian supersub came in and Luka Modric became the hero for Real Madrid's victory with his spectacular goal scored from outside the penalty box. Real Madrid's hopes were rekindled with this goal and previously I had seen Ancelotti want to bring on Arda Guler in the final minute before the goal occurred. However, after Luka Modric scored a goal, Ancelotti changed the scenario by bringing in Dani Ceballos. A strategy like this is very important and indeed Ancelotti prioritizes a midfielder who can hinder the ball and that is why he decided to bring in Dani Ceballos rather than Arda Guler who has an attacking style.
yep, of course Sevilla always makes it difficult for Real Madrid to score a clean sheet in several previous matches but in today's match Real Madrid managed to score a clean sheet after a very fierce match gave each other resistance and Ancelotti troops managed to withstand Sevilla attack but actually quite convincing if Sevilla didn't able to break into Real Madrid defense because I see in this match Sevilla is like lack of aggressive unable to put pressure on Madrid defense and although Madrid managed to put pressure but unfortunately only able to score after the same as surviving until the 80+ minute and maybe this is the factor of the absence of Bellingham and also Joselu, which made Madrid a little difficult to score.

Indeed, that is the right strategy from Ancelotti because usually Luka Modric will be a starting player and Joselu will usually enter a few minutes before the match ends but because Joselu is injured so that Modric Luka becomes the option of a substitute and I think it is more appropriate to enter Modric at the right time than choosing Arda Guler because this young player has not yet been able to give an impressive appearance so it is natural that Ancelotti still has other plans besides entering Arda Guler.
No, that's not what I meant. Modric is no longer a priority in the starting line up and that's why he always comes on from the bench. Modric comes on to replace Nacho who is a defender and from this we know that Ancelotti wants to increase creativity in midfield. Apart from that, even though Nacho is withdrawn, there is still Tchouameni who can step in to fill his position as a defender and Modric to step up as a midfielder.

This is not about Joselu being injured, but from the start Ancelotti wanted to introduce gradually from Modric to Arda Guler. But of course the strategy can change if there are changes in it and when Modric scored that's why Arda Guler didn't come on even though he had warmed up. If it hasn't been a goal, it's possible that Ancelotti will want to place Modric and Guler as the new axis of attack so they can score goals, but what happens is the opposite and of course the team's victory is the most important thing at the moment rather than providing a platform for young talent.

Many people think that Ancelotti did not give Arda Guler a chance at all and in that match Arda Guler was also celebrating his 19th birthday and this also provoked the anger of the Turkish public who never gave him playing minutes. Real Madrid is a big club and under all the existing conditions it is not appropriate to give inappropriate chatter to just a young talent. I think Arda Guler should be more patient and should look back at what Vinicius or Rodrygo experienced before becoming the starter they are today.

It was a very nervous match, there was an impression that Sevilla was fighting with Real for victory in the championship, but perhaps this was because this was a confrontation between old rivals and they no longer know how to play differently, besides, there was also a confrontation between Ramos and Real. I will say that Real deserved this victory, it was definitely not an easy match, but they win again.

And Girona have a match against Rayo Vallecano today and they will need to win to return to their previous position, since Barcelona have already overtaken them. Quite quickly everything changed for them, and Real Madrid are increasingly looking like an unattainable opponent.
This season Real Madrid is unstoppable and I believe that with a probability of 80% Real Madrid will win La Liga. After the victory over Girona with a big score Real can say knocked Girona out of the race for first place, and Barcelona misses a lot, almost 2 times more than Real and with such a game in defense Barcelona will be difficult to take first place.

The match with Sevilla was really very interesting, both teams needed points, but Real's players are of a higher class, although Valverde could score a couple of times, but the goalkeeper helped, but after Modric's shot he was powerless. In general Ancelotti guessed with the substitution and Modric decided the game in favor of Real.

Barcelona vs Getafe team match is now half-time break. Barcelona team is leading by 1 goal before half time. I see more chances of winning Barcelona team in today's match. They scored 1 goal in 20 minutes of the game. Now let's see who will score after half time.  Can the Barcelona team. Getafe team can score any goals today or I don't know. The performance of the Getafe team will not be able to win with the Barcelona team if they play this way.
Barcelona outplayed Getafe at Camp Nou to secure a 4-0 win against Getafe in La Liga. With the 4-0 win, Barcelona has overtaken Girona to occupy second place in the La Liga table. If Girona wins their game at hand against Rayo Vallecano on Monday night, they will re-enter their second-place position in the La Liga table.
Barcelona performed really well in the last match and the performance in the last match gave us so much assurance that Barcelona will have a tough competition with Real Madrid this season. Where at the start of the season we had low expectations of Barcelona, Barcelona have now overtaken Girona and they have secured the second position in the points table. Barcelona must perform well in the upcoming matches. If Barcelona can put up a good performance then they will definitely have a tough fight with Real Madrid to finally win the trophy. But currently there is a considerable difference in the performance of Real Madrid and Barcelona, Real Madrid has secured strong players in every position but Barcelona has failed there. Not every position of Barcelona is strong, they still have considerable weaknesses in midfield and defense.

No way could Barcelona compete with Real Madrid this season. Real is already out of touch for Barcelona and there needs to be hard luck for the points to add up for Barcelona. Though the two catalonian team of Barcelona and Girona might fight for the 2nd position. Even though Barcelona is now placed on 2nd on the table, they have played one more game than Girona.
As for the todays game between Celta Vigo and Cadiz, this game might decide the three teams that relegate to the lower league. The two Granada and Almeria are almost certain and the loser of todays game, most likely Cadiz would be the third one.
Barcelona's point gap with Real Madrid is now quite high. Considering that, we can say that Barcelona will not be able to compete with Real Madrid in any way this season. I don't see any team competing with Real Madrid this season except Barcelona. At the end of the season, these two teams, Atletico Madrid or Girona, will be below Barcelona in terms of points, but even if Real Madrid wins the title this season, Barcelona has enough honor to be number two. If Barcelona finish the season at number two then we have to consider Barcelona as Real Madrid's rivals. Although Barcelona is a rival of Real Madrid, Real Madrid has the highest chance of winning the title this season. Real Madrid lost the La Liga title to Barcelona last season so surely Real Madrid will take revenge this season by beating Barcelona.
I also think that there is no way that Barcelona catch up with Real. With the current form of Real and Barça, it seems impossible to me. Although, Barça had a good game surprisingly. It's the first time I've seen a comfortable Barca game without any problems, I'm surprised. Because Raphinha's back. Raphinha is more than half of Barca. If I had known, I would have bet on Barca, unfortunately I didn't know. Rapinha was a pleasure to watch when he was at Leeds, he couldn't do in Spain what he did in England. Maybe if he stays next year he can adapt better and do good things, he will give a lot of pleasure.
I agree with you that Barcelona cannot catch up with Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table. Real Madrid is leading Barcelona with 8 points, and it will be hard to drop points that will make Barcelona equal or overtake them at the top of the La Liga table.

Girona target was change now because at the beginning of season they were targetting to avoiding relegation zone but after several times to playing impressive Girona manager Míchel says he will be more focus to bringing Girona to made a history with finish at top 4 and playing at Champion league for next season and because Laliga still have 13 matches remaining so everything still possible to happend so that's why he will attempts to bringing Girona to performing well for each matches in Laliga including today

You have a point actually because last season was very bad for Girona because of there poor performance, so there only plan this season was to actually make sure they did not end up going to relegation but however it turns out that there efforts to avoid relegation turn out to be very good for them that they were able to go this far on the league table because they never believe that after there poor performance last season they would actually be leading the Spanish La Liga table for a while, so like you said I don't really think Girona cares to much about the second position because there targets of coming to this league has been met and if through there efforts they still manage to regain back there second position that would also be a very nice thing for them.

Not your keys, not your coins!
Real Madrid secured a stunning win against Sevilla in a breathtaking match. Luka Modrić scored the team's only goal late in the match to secure Real Madrid's victory. Had Luka Modrić not scored at this stage of the game, Real Madrid might have been content with a point. Real Madrid has 65 points to get three points in the last match while Barcelona is second in the points table with 8 points less. Real Madrid gained 3 points in this match which strengthened their number one position in the points table. The points gap created by the second-placed team in the points table with Real Madrid will be very difficult for Barcelona to close at this point of the season.
Real Madrid could win that match in a more easily way but the match belongs to Luka Modric. He was not used too much by Carlo Ancelotti in this season and is not happy but when he is in, he contributes his best for Real Madrid. Not many midfielders can have enough calm to handle that situation and can make such a shot.

This goal shows his value for Real Madrid even just as an alternative player but I believe he will leave Real Madrid after this season and find another club for very last chapter and seasons in his career.

I wasn't really happy with Real Madrid's victory when they won against Sevilla, even though my bet won and I was also willing to let Madrid collect points again to stay at the top of the standings.

However, the goal that was scored was a single goal, which made me think that it was very difficult for Real Madrid to produce goals, Modric was the only goal that Ancelotti should be grateful for as a sign of Real Madrid's victory. Previously I hoped that Real Madrid could collect 2/3 goals. in the match against Sevilla but in fact Madrid was quite difficult.
They created opportunities but lacked of accuracy in their shots but finally they got Luka Modric who is counting down his time in Real Madrid. He scored a magnificent goal for Real Madrid and helped them to have three points. These points mean a lot for Real Madrid to maintain their position in La Liga and in a long run it will help them in Champions League too.

If they continue to have good differences against Girona and below clubs in La Liga, they will be more free to focus on Champions League.
