By the way, Real Madrid also have the Yellow army (Villarreal) in the remaining matches and am anxious about them even more than Athletic Club.  Much as I want Los Blancos to lift it this season with ease. It's not yet over until it's over 
All we need to do it win all the matches and take each match as thou it was a final. It doesn't matter how bad we play, what matter is the match result, just like yesterday's game.

I took a handicap -1 on Atl. Madrid today
Good to see that it’s 3:0 at the moment

Tomorrow will take the risk on Valencia to win, but will wait some live odds, this is a must watch match

It is also the same as Real Madrid, only Villareal seems to be a hard match. But we cannot underestimate other matches, even they are small clubs, they can be the nightmare for Real Madrid if Zidane doesn't prepare Real's players very well. And it also can happen to Barcelona as well.

Even, Real Madrid should be better if they can win all matches or at least only gets draw result not more than two times. I think Real Madrid must focus to think how to win all matches without thinking about the possibility of Barca's loss/defeat.

 I checked sportsbet.io for the bets and I can tell you that "result, both teams to score" is a lucrative looking bet. It says 1.82 for madrid to win but not both teams to score. Which means if Mallorca doesn't score and madrid scores just one goal, you get 1.82 return. Thats actually quite lucrative if you ask me considering madrid to win is at 1.31 which really doesn't worth it. There are some other bets as well like under 2.5 which is 2.25 right now, and I think scoring 2 goals looks to be enough for madrid as well, they are not a high scoring team.

 You have to remember this team has a solid defense and got scored less than any team in the league except Real madrid. But they haven't scored all that much as well. With all of that and the big pandemic break in mind, zero goals in the game is 14.00 odds, I know it looks a bit uncanny and when a sportsbook says 14.00 for anything that rarely happens and looks like not going to happen. However I feel like if you want to venture into adventure that looks like a good bet.


 None of this matters of course as the game is about to play I just wanted to share what I think could happen, not suggestions, so I waited a long period to write this. I wagered on just "madrid to win, both teams won't score" 1.82 as that was the good one in my mind.

Odd as it may seem, I decided to put a very small bucks on Mallorca to win. The odds were tempting due to the fact that Atletico doesn't score much themselves, so perhaps, a shocker could be well on cards.

I don't think Messi will decide to break the contract with Barca. you may know, Messi has been in this club since the beginning of his career. Even he received many good offers from others club, but he didn't leave Barca. He may not like Bartemeo, I think they will resolve this issue through negotiations. In 2013 we have seen some news that Messi will not play in Barcelona anymore. But What happened then? he is still playing in Barca.  on the other hand, within a few years he will retire. now he cannot give any extraordinary things through joining the new club. because, it must be taking a little more time to adapt himself to a new club. so, I think Messi will stay in Barcelona, and he should retire from staying this club.

i'm going with a side bet, Atletico win to Nil @1.98. Risky but worth a shot considering Atletico have the second best defence in the league. I was considering putting a few mbtc on Atletico corners ML @1.55 but odds updated to 1.48 and i said "nope!" lol

I myself am not sure that Messi will leave Barcelona, ​​as we know Messi only plays for one club and has spent a long time in Barcelona even he has never had the experience of playing in another club like Ronaldo.  in my opinion he will not be risking his reputation of being the best player in Barcelona, ​​because I am sure if he plays in another club he will not necessarily be like in Barcelona.

Wanted to bet something on the game tonight but I can't seem to find value in any market. Odds on Atletico @1.3 are way to low to take and if you take a look at H2H it looks way worse then expected. There could be some value on taking X2 on Mallorca but then I checked home/away record and Mallorca has got almost all of their points at home games. They played 16 games away this season and lost 13, with record like that I understand why Atletico is such a big favorite and smart thing would be to skip this game.

Unfortunately, I have to put money on something to make it more interesting so I will go for low scoring Atletico win @2.25

Real Madrid didn't lose the chance of increasing the point difference between them and Barcelona.
They got the three points against Getafe with just one goal and secured the 3 points.
Now they have big advantage against Barcelona.

4 points in 5 games is easily recoverable situation for Barcelona but also remember that we are talking about real Madrid here, they may not lose more than 4 points in the rest of the games, they could go 5/5 on all games as well if they are really focused on those games. So, yes there is a chance that Barcelona could still win all the games and somehow manage to wait for Madrid to lose and end up becoming champions. However that doesn't mean that they will do that, it just means that there is a chance of that happening.

We just have to wait and see but I would say if I had a chance to play on who would be the champions, I would bet on Real Madrid easily, not even just a small chance for me, the big possibility is Real at this point, Barça has just a tiny chance because it is Barcelona we are talking about.

Messi will be shining anywhere if you mean so. He is still the best player ATM. However the performance of Barca is getting poor because they are not generating back up for the players. Imagine, Iniesta is missing in the team but Barca is yet to generate the back up. That's how they are getting poor performer.

It seems that Messi is still unsure of his move because it will not necessarily shine like Ronaldo who has left more Real Madrid and looks brilliant now CR7.
But could Messi be in a situation like this? of course Barcelona will also defend it for the benefit of the team if it really happens out of Barcelona of course this will make Barca down its performance.

I guess that will be a rumor only at the end of the day. Messi is too loyal or loyal milker or whatever and will be the same for couple of more years. He will never leave Barca IMO. Nevertheless, leaving Madrid of Cristiano had no impact on La Liga TBH, but if Messi leaves La Liga, that will be have an affect.
Who still thinks that Barca will win the title? I see the POLL is saying so 

I put my trust in Atletico Madrid...
although statistics show that in Atletico's last 15 home games they have never lost but Mallorca cannot be underestimated by Atletico, a slight mistake can embarrass Atletico at home.

Lionel Messi had done a good than worst for the club, it's high time he expand his football career just as his rival is doing, doing that would only make him feel joyous and experience new style of plays of different leagues.

There is no best club for Messi except Barcelona from the beginning until now. Even though he has the desire to defend his childhood club, but not for now or next year and we never know whether it is just wishful thinking. Many speculation are circulating about the status of Messi contract with Barcelona which will expire soon, but this will only be an unhealthy food intake because eventually Messi will remain a barcelona icon for a long time. Did not in the previous years the same thing also happen with the conditions of the messi contract ?

I am curious and thrilled at the same time just seeing this news that La Liga is dead serious in expanding its presence in North America. To be honest I am really not well versed with the Spanish soccer ( I am asian so my focus is at my own country's team and that of our powerful football neighbors South Korea and China) but I played football in high school and watch plays by Real Madrid and Barca. I'm thinking if La Liga will extend its reach to American viewers, does that mean they also need to create a sub-division like La Liga American teams? I mean the Latin american countries has lots I mean lots of love for football and there is no shortage of great players there but U.S. and Canada? Maybe there is hope.

He just stopped negotiations for the moment, that's all. There is 1 year left in his contract and they could (WILL) renew it for sure.
Nor Barca want him to leave nor Messi can guarantee that he will be as important in another club as in Barca. He in fact risk being useless (like so many other players) and end his carrier early. Just look how many trophies 1st Argentina national team has with him, yeah nothing.

Judging by this news from spanish radio Cadena Ser, Messi has suspended negotiations to extand the contract with Barcelona.
Messi is outraged by the situation at the club because important information is leaking to the media,  and he doesn't like club president Bartomeo.

It seems that Messi is ready to leave Barcelona next year.
