There is no easy path this year for any team. Definitely Athletico Madrid looks to be the ones in the biggest chance, they have 51 points with 2 games behind, if they get 6 points from those games they are at 57 points versus Real Madrid's 46 and that is the real chance here, I get that people look at 5 point difference and think that teams are very close again, but the reality is that Madrid is 2 games ahead and that is why it looks like they are closer. 11 point difference will not be easy for neither Barcelona nor real Madrid and things are still going that way.
I think ATM has the best chance not Real but at the same time I believe all three teams have a very tough schedule ahead of them, all three need to win every single game they play in order to have a chance, anyone who loses will be losing a bit of chance, ATM has a chance to lose a few more than the others but they still need to be careful.

The result of the game with Sevilla was expected. The first strong opponent and Barcelona lost. Lopotegi is a strong coach, I am sorry that he was given time to build a team in Real Madrid. The Spanish Cup is quite capable of winning Sevilla.
Well, we officially now have both Spanish giants out of Copa del Rey, all eyes now on La Liga (and perhaps Champions League). Barca didn't actually play so bad from what I could tell. Just that Sevilla's gameplan worked out better. Koeman must be feeling like Zidane now. All or nothing in La Liga.
Sevilla-Barcelona game was just the first leg of this draw. The second leg is going to be on March 3. In the first game, it seems according to the statistics that Barcelona had a better performance but they were not good at finishing. Sevilla managed to defeat them 2-0 (Kounde, Rakitic). I don't know why in the hell Koeman prefer Messi playing as centre-forward. I think he should play behind the centre-forward. His natural place is there and he can make more contribution by playing like that. Barcelona's job will be really hard in the rematch. But they don't have a too low chance to eliminate Sevilla.

The chances of winning La Liga against Atletico Madrid are greater than those of Barcelona or Real Madrid. But do not forget that there are still 18 matches ahead.
Agree, surely Atletico Madrid has a bigger chance for the title. But Real Madrid and Barcelona won't give up to do their best, also Atletico Madrid may get bad results in the remaining matches. 18 matches left means still many chances for the change in the table. It can be like the premier league table, who knows if Man City is leading the table now. 
A hard times barcelona players will have today againts sevilla...kounde j. already scored the first goal for lopetegui squad in the 25th minutes after a wonderful individual effort...messi squad need to react fastly and not let the sevilla dominate the situation
And Rakitic made score 2:0 near to the end of game. Well, I had feeling that he will score tonight. There will be second leg game at Camp Nou, but it will be very difficult to make comeback, Sevilla looks impressive, 8th win in a row in all competition.I only can't understand why Koeman made first substitution only on 85 minute...
By the way, it turns out that Rakitic looked like water and I remember how before the match Rakitic promised that he would not celebrate the goal of his former team much because of the good attitude of the Barca fans at the time and the fact that he had a daughter in Barcelona.

In fact, it is somewhat unlikely to expect Atletico Madrid to lose as they have done well in almost every game so far. But it is the only possible path to open hope for Barcelona and Real Madrid to catch up on the points difference in the table. Not long ago, Atletico Madrid drew against Celta Vigo, this is proof that they can still lose and experience a decline in performance. It only a few lose and a draw to see them slide from the top of the standing. Real Madrid and Barcelona are the two teams that have the chance to beat Atletico Madrid. They will still meet in Laliga this season.
Prior to that game against Celta Vigo, Atlético had been pretty solid and kept some cleansheets in their last couple of games but they got a huge blow before the match and some of their players were taken off the squad list due to covid-19 infections. Anyway, that's not really an excuse because Simeone did put out a strong team. For someone who watched the game, I'd say they played well but Celta was better that night and pressed deep throughout the duration of the match.
Atlético is one of the best defensive side in the Liga this season so I don't expect them to drop much points anytime soon. Even though Simone said he's more concerned with molding a rock solid team in one of his recent interviews, I'm sure he would also like to win the La liga title this season.
Atletico dropped points in their last game, but the key consideration is that D3L1... they've only dropped 9 points all season so far.
Even if either Real or Barca win all of their remaining games it will be difficult for them to reach the top of the table. Atletico just aren't dropping enough points to be caught.
That's what happens when you've got a player like Suarez in your forward along with Diego Costa to do your attacking. No doubt Atletico Madrid my be the champions of Spain this season because, they've got points ahead and still aren't a team that agrees much with loosing. They rather draw the game to a draw than loose a game, its there way.Even if either Real or Barca win all of their remaining games it will be difficult for them to reach the top of the table. Atletico just aren't dropping enough points to be caught.
I'm still yet to believe Barca lost to Sevilla today, despite the fact that the revered best of Spain Lionel Messi was on the pitch. And where are my Barca fans or supporters of Messi.
Atletico Madrid are going to have an away game against Granada this weekend. Atletico maintain their lead with 51 points and Granada are the 8th with 30 points. Atletico didn't get any loss (4W 1D) and Granada won only once (1W 3D 1L) in the last 5 games in the league. Granada haven't been winning for 4 matches. But they have lost only 2 of their home games so far (6W 3D 2L). Atletico have lost only 1 of their away games (7W 1D 1L). In the last 5 head-to-head games, Atletico won 4 times and 1 game ended in a draw. Atletico played against them on Sep 27, 2020 and won it hugely, 6-1.
Missing player(s) at Granada: Yan Brice, Yangel Herrera (2 goals), Luis Milla (1 goal), Maxime Gonalons
Missing player(s) at Atletico: Kieran Trippier, Thomas Lemar (1 goal), Hector Herrera, Moussa Dembele, João Félix (6 goals), Mario Hermoso (1 goal)

Atletico lost points surprisingly against Celta Vigo the last. They will absolutely want to make up for it. They defeated Granada too easily in the first half of the league. I think they can get another comfortable win against them here.

Lopetegui have shown his metal and Koeman is still making the same mistakes.
He studied how to play against Barcelona, how to attack their weaknesses and how to defend against their strengths, when to take possession and when to defend . Is it possible that the first substitution for Barça was in the 85th minute ??
By the way, Yacine Bono is the second Sevilla man after the coach with his decisive interventions in front of Messi in particular . We have to wait for the return match until we know the finalist.

It's being another tough time for Barcelona, I really don't understand why the team always have to concede first, It's the 4 consecutive game that's happening. It's pass the 75th minute mark already, and the team needs to come up with a solution, if not

An interesting article in today's Marca, ''Barcelona's 2021: Seven names to dream about... and two to cross fingers for''.
Lots of nice wishes but it's really a question of what will come true and a lot will depend on who will be the new president of Barcelona.
What do you think?
Which of the mentioned key players will really stay in Barcelona after this season?

Maybe it is not very possible but maybe things could go to an interesting place if Atletico make mistakes in their tight schedule ahead of them and especially lose to Real Madrid which I find it not much probable. It looks like for now that we won't see such thing and Atletico will be relieved at the 1st place. And there will only be a Barcelona-Real Madrid competition for the 2nd place in the last matches. But I always say that this is football and everything is possible even in situations like this.
But I want to admit that I'd like to see Atletico Madrid being the champions after years. 1. Atletico Madrid => 51 points - 20 matches
2. Real Madrid => 46 points - 22 matches
3. Barcelona => 43 points - 21 matches

I can almost say that there is an unbeaten team apart from Real Madrid, so I see it as a big favorite. But 5 points is not a score that will not be covered, so anything can happen to me.
