I can't wait to see what Real Sociedad will do against Atletico Madrid on the 22nd. It's a match that I think will give us many surprises. Despite the fact that Real's last few games have gone pretty bad, I don't think they'll give up easily.

Barcelona has been on a path of self-destruction for the last 3 or 4 years and needs radical changes to return to the paths of old glory.
They need a new and capable club leadership, they need to recover financially but most importantly they need to finally start preparing for the post-Messi era.
The sooner they do it the better for them.

I know I shouldn't say this but I actually laughed when I read this. Messi dyed/bleached his hair in that season and I thought to myself, damn why did he do that? Path of self destruction indeed and terrible Champions League exits ever since, but you know what, this time we meet PSG and have a chance to redeem ourselves against the guys who can never get past Semifinals;)
Barcelona's win against PSG will be very difficult. PSG is a immensely balanced team. But Barcelona is not that much balanced. Griezmann is still fighting to get back to form. But he still misses easy opportunities in every match. On the other hand, I think the main problem of Barcelona is their defense. It will not be easy to win a match against PSG  with a light defense.

I think the main problem for Barcelona is that the players are not ready to take responsibility and look for Messi in every situation.
That is why there is too much pressure on Messi and the rivals already know that it is crucial for them to stop Messi and that half the work is done with it.
Mutual relationships between the players in the team are very bad which also affects the results.

There will be a really delightful match between Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid tomorrow night. Real Sociedad couldn't win their last five matches in the league. They had a really good form before that. They are at third position in the league. But they have too many important players who are injured now. Atletico Madrid have been doing quite nice. Joao Felix won't be able to play in this match because of his injury. He scored 5 goals in his 12 matches in the league. But I think Atletico Madrid will exploit the Real Sociedad's current condition and win this match.

both teams prefer more defending than attacking so total under 2.5 goals is a good bet for this match. if Atletico loses points in this match Real Madrid would have a good chance to take the first spot in the La Liga table.

Real Sociedad - Atl. Madrid
Real Sociedad has a slight slump in the game at the moment. And most likely Atletico Madrid will win this game.

Valencia - Sevilla
Sevilla and Valencia are teams of about the same level. I think a draw will be a fairer result of this match.

Thanks for the detailed post which gives many insights about the match between RS and AM. I would also put my money on Atlético Madrid this time as I do not see RS being able to oppose them these days. With odds like 2.44 I believe it can give a nice multiplier to a well-researched bet-slip.

It has been a beautiful and interesting tie between Eibar and Real Madrid, even though Madrid are 1 goal ahead in a 2 - 1 tie; Eibar are not sitting back at all; instead they are pushing for an equalizer. With Madrid looking to score another goal to secure the tie. i think madrid has enough to win and the match should end 4 -2  in favor of real madrid.
The match ended Eibar 1-3 Real Madrid. Benzema once again scoring 1 goal and creating assists for the other 2 goals and reducing the pressure on his boss. I think it's becoming more and more clear that Real Madrid Minus Karim Benzema and Sergio Ramos tend to struggle a lot.
Indeed Benzema and Ramos saved the day but will it put more pressure on Real Madrid to sign with him (Ramos) a (good) contract?

Teams are coming to their right level at this moment. Real Sociedad points were a bit inflated. Real, Atletico and Barcelona are again going to take the top 3 spot at the end of the league. Real Madrid is likely to come as the champion just like they were last year. But with another poor league from Barcelona and eventual transfer out of Messi, Barcelona would be in much more trouble at the end of this league.
Seeing the way Messi voted and what the potential new president said, I believe Messi is getting closer to PSG. In this case, Barca will struggle to get a post in CL next year..

Real Madrid will play an away match against Eibar tonight. Eibar haven't lost in the league for 5 matches. But they have too many injured players before this match. Real Madrid won their last three matches in the league. They have had a really good performance recently. I think Real Madrid will play strong and win here without having much problem.

It's a crazy time for La Liga really. The big two are not so big now and have never looked so vulnerable in the last decade. And to think they have billions worth of talent between the two. I'm still not over how crap we are, the Valencia draw was just well. I said before we should just focus on UCL and this latest result just solidifies my opinion.

@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.

It is obvious that Barcelona is not great with transfers, they rarely ever make a big transfer that works well for them, and whenever they do that, it is usually for a big name anyway. I haven't seen Barcelona make a transfer that is very small amount that turned out to be a great player. They usually either have players that was raised from their youth teams which I still think is one of the best if not the best in the world, or they just buy players like Neymar straight up and since they are good players they just fit right in.

Someone they bought for 5 million that became big name is not really that common at all. They also spent sooooo much money on horrible players, all turned out to be nothing at all, I just can't believe they have wasted so much money in bad transfers as well. This is Barcelona we are talking about, they will get back to dominating eventually but it looks like it is going to take some time.

Betis are so bad this year and they have a super squad who can easily fight for top 5 and yet they're at in the middle of LaLiga. They are down 2-0 since the 1st 20 minutes against Granada and I can't see them coming back into this game.

I think Eibar might score against Real Madrid tonight or even make a draw. Thoughts on this one ?

Eibar had been performing quite impressive with even the top teams with a win over Sevilla and a draw with Real Sociedad, they would be in a good morale. But real Madrid too have stepped up it's game recently and they'd be difficult to contain. Eibar would have a home advantage and they make try to play a defensive game for a draw. Real Madrid would be without Eden Hazard, Vinicius and Isco. While Eibar would now miss Burgos while Enrich and others are still not in team.

In Barcelona, things do not go as desired. the performance of the team depends on messi. When Messi's performance is bad, Barcelona cannot win a match. It is possible that they will lose points in the Valencia match.
Barcelona has very serious problems and Messi’s problem is just one of them.
I’m a little sorry to see Messi unhappy and struggling at this club instead of enjoying football and showing us his football genius.
Barcelona like this is really not a favorite in any La Liga match and that is a sad fact for the fans.
I bet on Valencia.
But there is still a little time in my opinion for Barcelona to win the game but still in the current appearance, only the dependence on Messi is currently a lot of pressure on him so maybe concentrate so that it can disappear if the problem persists.
I think Barcelona will have a harder time dealing with reality but still if Messi stays at Barcelona I think it will not be good the performance will be worse and it will no longer be a serious view of his fans.

Everyone understands this. But it is very difficult to do. None of the presidents will sell Messi, but on the contrary will try to keep him in the team. The presence of Messi in the team does not allow building a new Barcelona. Everyone is used to the old one and can handle it.
