But first, we should focus on the Copa del Rey game this week against Zaragoza. I bet Zizou's gonna rest a lot of players.

If I were Real Madrid coach, I won't take that risk. We have already seen lots of upsets in Copa Del Rey and Real Madrid won't risk another. But the problem is they have to play against Atletico Madrid just 3 days later. Now this is real test for Real Madrid players, they have to advance to quarter finals of Copa and also try to retain first spot in league against tough opponent.

I think both matches will have same Real Madrid squad except 2-3 changes max.
there is no easy fixtures for a team such as real madrid.
they get used to have 3 to even 4 match within 8 days , they knew how to handle it as real madrid are a team with good squad depth every year except this year where there is a lot of players flop such as jovic and eden hazard have not show his bet form due the injury.

they can handle it i have no doubt about all of these issues.

atletico madrid will be a big challenge to maintain their pposition at the top.
the score line will not far from 0-0 or 1-0 i guess. it always been a close match.

laliga is more important especially since they are currently 3 points ahead, and must win every game because it is very important. I think that's right, Real Madrid will rest some important players. Zidane does not want to take the risk, let alone derby Madrid will be an important match because there is prestige among fellow Madrid.

We are still in the mid of the league. There are 17 matchdays to be played. I don't think Real Madrid would be looking to drop a valuable title for maintaining top position in league just now. They last won Copa in 2013/14 season and since then didn't even qualify for the finals. This year their performance is looking promising and can win the title if enough emphasis is given.

For teams like Barcelona playing at home should not be a concern.
They need and can win the away games as well without a lot of strive. Playing at home is a great boost but they don't need the fans boost, they have stronger players that can play competitive in away games as well.

Obviously fans are always pushing Barcelona to win at home or away matches, but what is currently happening there is still a shortage in Barcelona players so that they lost yesterday to Valencia, Barcelona need the style of the game first tiki-taka but now it does not exist because the power of the coach is not like that again then what will Barcelona make so that it can be respected by other clubs.
Barcelona's defeat against Valencia yesterday was enough to make fans quite disappointed, but in the game anything can happen because when on the field will always be different from the predictions made. With yesterday's defeat, I hope Barcelona return again to fix their game.

Btw, Barcelona is the only team from the 1st division that's playing at home in the Round of 16 of the Copa del Rey...A bit odd, isn't it? I mean, the worst Barcelona we've seen this season has been in away games which they somehow managed to avoid in the next league cup game  Roll Eyes
Barca isn't only. Real Sociedad will play against Osasuna at home. While all other teams will face clubs from lover divisions and there is rule that lover division team must play at home. If two same division teams will face, then draw will be made to decide who will play at home.
And yeah, it's just Leganes, but now I'm more confident than if it would be played away Cheesy.

Real Madrid must be able to maintain its current position even though the difference of 3 points must still be aware of Barcelona because it will pursue it.
Moreover, next week Madrid will fight its weight, namely Atl. Madrid really must be defended this victory especially next week also UCL has begun to compete maybe Zidane must have some good strategies.

What do you think madridistas? It's a long way to seal the la liga title.
Despite Atletico's awful form right now, it's still gonna be a tough game. We usually beat them in two-leg fixtures, but in the league Atletico always seems to play their hearts out against us. It's been a while since we won the Madrid Derby at home, i think we have what it takes to put an end to that run (:

And Finally, Real Madrid has got the first place on the point table, after a couple of months, they have recovered their position to defeat an away game, I was little astonished that Zidan has made a game plan where Nacho plays as a right-winger, Why the team management has lent Ordigiola to Bayern Munich, It's not a good thing for me. if Carvajal would go to injury for a long time then Nacho never would be the replacement of him, whatever the case is, Zidan is the ultimate boss of Real Madrid so we have to put our belief on him, I think he could bring back the La Liga champion again this year.
Maybe Zidane feels better players who have little potential to get flying hours at other clubs. So they decided to lend the player. There must be another option so Zidane agrees to the loan. Madrid is getting better now. I see they are at the forefront of winning La Liga this season.

Real Madrid better not drop the ball on this one, they have been following Barça for months now and they are finally one game above, sure Atlhetico is a great team and they can play very well too but at the same time if Madrid loses or even ties that could lead to Barça getting back on top eventually, so they have to take advantage of the momentum they have right now and make it count.

Not like Real Madrid is not capable of that neither, we are talking about Athletico like "they may do anything" but in reality lets face it Real is the real favorites here with potentially even destroying with the amount of talent they have, we are not talking about the biggest possibility, we are talking about the off-chance what could happen here. Real will probably get this like 2-0 or 3-0 if you ask me.

Ah well, I didn't want to say anything but even silence couldn't jinx Real Madrid. I know the season is still long but I think the signs have been there for Barca for so long. Stars keep bailing us out but the early season yellows and reds, and then the almost-losses to weaker teams. I think I should prepare to see the title go to Madrid again.
They have not been good enough this time around and I will have to say that the absence of Suarez is one of the reasons why the team is currently struggling. Griezmann though has been good for the Catalan side, he hasn't had the impact that the fans would really like to see. They are the ones who are going to take charge of the team when Messi retires but so far things are not looking good post Messi Barcelona.

barcelona can't always rely on just one or two players to succeed, they are a big team that should have an effort to succeed with a solid team play, previously messi was injured and barcelona got a negative result and this time suarez was injured, the negative result was repeated again. if they continue like this i'm sure they will find it increasingly difficult to get titles in every tournament they play

Therefore all there must be direction from new coach Satien about Barcelona's lack of performance at this time the coach must be able to get his team more solid for each match so that it will be strong like before, if messi and suarez are relied on then it will be difficult too because of their performance the two are not like they used to be after being injured.

Suarez is a good front-line even if they are duetka with Lionel Messi then they will play brilliantly again for Barcelona.
Griezmann is not the type of Barcelona at the moment although the performance is quite good but it does not dominate the victory for Barcelona and even messi is the same thing like that, the defeat of Valencia makes Barcelona sekain slumped.

I didn't watch the game but Valencia won Shocked

Did they got luck or they deserve the win?


According to https://understat.com/match/12231

Well, from stats it seems a even match. Who deserved?

Stats may say otherwise but Barcelona played awful today. Under Quique Setien, Barcelona find the way to pass quickly between players but where is the final product? Just for an example, out of 14 shots Barcelona registered 11 came from Messi. He was only active player for Barcelona today apart from Ter Stegen. But his performance was also below par. He missed all his 11 shots. He failed to convert any of the 4 free kicks (one was only 21m away). When you are Lionel Messi, fans expect better from you.

So in the nutshell, coach changed but situation isn't.
Messi's Good Day = Barca's Good Day
Messi's Bad Day = Barca's Awful Day

Yup.  That's what I love about football cos sometimes the stats doesn't really translate how good (or bad) the club played during that fixture.  Prolly cos the way it is, it's more flowing...  (That's why I hate VAR)

Anyway...  Real three points up.  Grin

Edit:  Should've had a prop bet for Sevilla vs Atletico.

If it's not a goaless match it's the hot favourites like Barcelona either dropping points or losing a game altogether...is there a possibility of match fixing here?

I remember some people told the same thing when Barca lose against Liverpool in the Champions League last year. It looks like whenever Barca loses or drops points some people find it difficult to accept.

I think I should prepare to see the title go to Madrid again.
At least the gaps between them aren't as big as Liverpool and City.

I think Club Atlético will not give up on the coach despite the decline he has experienced, Because it is difficult to find a coach like Simeone, I think this guy is unlucky with the club,
The majority of the fans, when their club suffers a loss, go directly to punish the coach, Certainly Simeone will play a beautiful football with the team, especially the Champions League.
Simeone and beautiful football - I don't think that these words can be used in one sentence Cheesy
Talk about it, Ulven's statement left me thinking maybe i have been watching another Atlético Madrid all these past years and not the one from Spain  Grin



What is happening with laliga Huh

If it's not a goaless match it's the hot favourites like Barcelona either dropping points or losing a game altogether...is there a possibility of match fixing here?
Match fixing? You are kidding, right?
Why the hell would a team with all the money they have right now decide to risk their reputation by involving in Match fixing. Valencia simply out classed Barcelona.
You can't really blame him. He didn't even watch the game I'm sure .

Real Madrid might have a big smile now with 3 points ahead Barcelona at the top. But guess the next real madrid opponent is atletico madrid , the one who always makes real madrid flopped .
Head to head says ... it's often ended draw. What do you think madridistas? It's a long way to seal the la liga title.
