@slaman29 indeed times have changed in La Liga, but in this particular match Ramos got really lucky when the ball touched his arm, and the referee decided not to punish him. Furthermore Benzema is playing on another level, and we have discussed about his performances earlier too, but I feel that he deserves a special praise for scoring and assisting in this match, and helping Real Madrid secure another three vital points.

As much as I don't like to praise the enemy, can't deny Benzema is like one of those forgotten heroes at least until they start blaming the team (he is like a Giroud to me).

For any fan of any team, I believe that Benzema is one of the players that they all would love to have in their squad. Great striker and a constant threat for any team. So I can't say that is the "hero of the day" since it's been more than once that help Real to secure a win.

Atletico really showed their steel last night! I won't feel bad at all if they win the league on this kind of irresistible form. Suarez really deserves it.

i haven't watched all the Barca matches, but was last night the first time Koeman used 3 CB in the backline? the whole team looked really solid with a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 formation

btw, Pedri seems to be the signing of the season so far, crazy how he's showing more talent/quality in a couple of months than the De Jong has since he arrived last year lol

Koeman also highlighted the importance of Pedri in the line up in his interview https://www.barcablaugranes.com/barcelona-la-liga/2020/12/23/22196891/koeman-reveals-why-he-changed-barcelona-formation-against-real-valladolid

Real Madrid - Granada

Odd is very low, something like @1.36 in favor of real madrid, I don't understand why they are underestimating Granada by placing this odd. Anyway, I'll wait for the first few minutes to see if the odds increase and then I'll bet on this game

Granada may have won their last two matches which helped them climb to seventh place but those are against fellow mid-table teams. You also have to look at the other stats like the goal difference,
- Granada [17 against 20 allowed]
- Real Madrid [25 against 14 allowed]

Real Madrid will most likely score while it's uncertain that Granada can. This can roughly explain the odds for both teams.

Agreed with you Real Madrid is in most strong position to win that match. Real Madrid is much stronger side as compare with other clubs so that it wouldn't be easy for Granada to score a goal and they have to show some kind of extraordinary game to give though time and prove that they are into the race to become top club.

Barcelona last night played convincingly their best game of the season and that's not because they faced one of the weakest team in the league, there was a better team performance overall on and off ball and there were far more understandable communication between team, Koeman is probably getting it right gradually, after all.

Atletico Madrid are not seeming ready to drop points anytime soon Roll Eyes

Yes they played well but they are too far behind with 8 points and atletico with one match less then barcelona so i do not think they can compete for laliga because atletico are doing amazingly well and they are not droping points its a champion streak .

anyhow, Real Madrid fams, where we at!? the team's gonna face a decent side like Granada today,, no Modric but we may see Valverde in the starting lineup, and possibly Hazard too? it would be nice to grab the 3 pts right before Christmas

Modric will not be able to help in the next two matches of Real Madrid with Granada and Elce. Most likely he will be replaced in the center of the field by Valverde or Edegor. Most likely he will not enter the field and Cross. He has been playing without rest for 10 matches in a row and Zidane will give him a rest at least in one of two upcoming matches. Let's see how this affects the results of the matches.

If Zidane made this decision, it's worrying. Just look Modric, who has always been the creator of madrid attacks with Toni Kroos, their statistics are very good. Apart from that I don't think there are any players with the same quality. Maybe another alternative is to play it 60 or 70 minutes. But behind that, I think Modric's appearance is still reasonable, his physique and strength is still good. The match schedule is also starting to decrease because UCL is still in February. So I hope Zidane keeps playing him.

Modric is injured. Nothing serious, but decided not to risk. In the match with Granada he is not in the application. Cross will most likely play, perhaps not the whole match. Hazard, Isko and Jovic also returned. Azar may be playing from the first minutes.

Real Sociedad got smashed again and now the crisis is rather clear. I understand they are struggling with some major players' injuries but something should be done at a presidency level. Anyway, like many of us predicted AM winning was a safe bet with very good odds. Do not forget they are three games behind other teams and already lead the standings by 3 points! Amazing.

It's now Valladolid 0 - 3 Barcelona. I think it's game over for Valladolid

Barcelona got 3 points, Messi scored and he became the record-holder of the most one-club scorer in history of football.
Messi breaks Pele's one-club scoring record as he nets 644th goal for Barcelona

Football nowadays is very different than few decades ago (in the time Pele played) and it is less goals in matches when clubs have more financial reasons to fight for their positions on league tables. It is an amazing record for Messi that Ronaldo will never have chance to compete with Messi. It is an odds comparison as it is a record for one-club scorers, not all clubs. This record brings more happiness to Messi when Barcelona climbs more on La Liga table and they can join the top 4 soon.

Messi is the legend of barcelona and its really hard to see barcelona without messi and i really wish that the last match of messi will be in the camp nou and why not the stadium will named leo messi stadium

I'm glad to see Barcelona win this time, even though their opponent Valladolid was very weak team. A win is a win and Barcelona really needed this 3 points.
They were dominant from start to finish. Messi had a great assist and Lenglet found clear header. You can tell before that goal, Barcelona had full pressure over Valladolid defense, it was obvious at one point they would score.

Barcelona were passing like there is no Valladolid defense before second goal. Same for Messi's goal, they came to Valladolid side pretty easy. I hope they can play like that against bigger teams.

Villarreal
can still take the position of Real Sociedad, because there is still one game left. But the opponents to face are Sevilla who are very difficult
to beat, but Villarreal only need a draw to get past Real Sociedad's position.

Wonder know what app you used to write this (automatic Enter button)

Well technically, Sociedad can lose many spots since all teams in La Liga lacks between 1-3 games comparing to it. Villareal can do it but also Barca, Sevilla...

Missed today's match but with this result I think last night's game is on track and there are no surprises, Sevilla, ATM, Barcelona can win the game and I am very sorry for not betting. It's a win on paper because usually the surprises come where the top team can't win but towards the end of the year I think it's a good result. It's just that, maybe about Villarreal it is very unfortunate that they cannot maximize this moment to win because if they win, it will shift Real Sociedad's position in third place.

It's true that last night's La Liga match was as predicted, because all the top teams managed to win the match. And my bet is all successful,
this is a happy thing for me. And I'm sorry if you don't bet, even though the results of the last night match bet are easy to predict. Villarreal
can still take the position of Real Sociedad, because there is still one game left. But the opponents to face are Sevilla who are very difficult
to beat, but Villarreal only need a draw to get past Real Sociedad's position.

Atletico Madrid did a amazing job so far in La Liga with only 5 goals in their net and by far with the best defense in the league with only one defeat against Real.
They managed to get nice away win against Real Sociedad today and they are no 3 points ahead of Real Madrid and they have one match less.

Real Madrid will play against Granada and they need to win if they want to keep up with Atletico.
Granada have several injured and missing players , but they are in good form and not losing in last 5 matches and won last 3.
Still history is totally on Real side and I think they will win, and maybe it's time for Benzema to score again.

Watch out for match Betis vs Cadiz, both teams have many missing players for this match, especially Betis.

Barcelona 2 - 0 Valladolid

A win for Barcelona today is vital and important and it will take them straight up to contention for the league top positions if we consider the fact that Barcelona have 2 unplayed matches; which could yet bring 6 points later as the competition progresses. Atletico remains top after brushing aside Real Sociedad who remain lacklustre despite a great start to the season.

it was kind of obvious that Real Sociedad can't keep it the same for the whole season, they couldn't win in the last 6 games in La liga, every team can get to number one, but not all of them are able to maintain that.

He's not 26 anymore, He's 35 and so you have got to understand that he has to be rested whenever necessary otherwise with this tight schedule of games. Fatigue and injury could easily set in.
