but today Barcelona is a very disappointing team.
It's not just today, they've been like this for the past 2 years or so. Messi is the only reason they've won titles ever since Valverde took the job.

Massive win for Barcelona. 3 assists from Messi, is this Messi-dependency? Or that term only applies when he scores goals? Either way, no Pique and Lenglet for next week, the only fit centreback is Umtiti. At least they'll be playing at the Camp Nou.
Very difficult and very important win. Finally Barca showed that they have cojones and managed to win despite that they were trailing 2 times. First half was shitty, but in second Barca played like they supposed to play. Maybe Messi didn't scored today, but he maid 3 great assist tonight.
*EDIT seconds after this post, Betis scored, 1-0...oh boy 
well, it seems that barcelona will once again prove that it is a useless team, it is losing: 2 - 1. I would not be surprised if Betis scored more goals. I feel pity for barcelona, everything barcelona does Is keep circling with the ball. In the past Have times that I feared Barcelona because there were a lot of players who had excellent skills, but today Barcelona is a very disappointing team. I'm a Real Madrid fan I like the type of game that Real Madrid has, but I also admired the type of game that Barcelona had in the past

This lost actually made me lose my parlay for today. They lost so easily with 3 goals conceded... Unbelievable...
These days football isn't surprising especially with the help of VAR, football isn't any fun no more because of these new technologies.This lost actually made me lose my parlay for today. They lost so easily with 3 goals conceded... Unbelievable...
And I Just took some time to see their matchups and it seems bookies had Getafe as their favourite and to top it off there were playing from home so not much of an upset mate. And FYI Getafe are 3rd on the log which shows they have the quality to win games which made them the favourite for this game
Inplay match: Betis vs Barca
Well games played against Barcelona don't come any easy these days and playing away from home this won't be an easy game with some of Barcelona's quality players like Suarez, pique, Dembele injured I honestly don't see them having it any easy, best result here is a draw.
What a win for Real Madrid. A hard-fought game until the 3-1. This is exactly the result we needed (a convincing win in a tough pitch) to bounce back after getting KOd from the league cup.
I just lost my sunday acca thanks to Sevilla losing against a bottom of the league side :/ Kinda embarrasing that they lost to Celta they way they did, they relaxed with 1-0 and paid the price against a team hungry for a win in the last few minutes to get out of the relegation zone.
*EDIT seconds after this post, Betis scored, 1-0...oh boy
Betis - Barcelona
for some reason this game has good odds, I bet Barcelona will win this game. I hope I have no unpleasant surprise
That's risky, not only because Barcelona in away games are awful, but because Real Betis at home are actually pretty good. Still, best of luck!for some reason this game has good odds, I bet Barcelona will win this game. I hope I have no unpleasant surprise

result of 32 minutes played:
CA Osasuna - Real Madrid ( 1 - 0 )
I am seeing a real madrid that is not reacting in the game and if it continues like this, real madrid may lose that game and I will lose my bet and money. it looks like this Is another one of those annoying weekends

I had same fears equally, but am glad Madrid out powered and crushed them out of the way
A routine 4-1 victory with isco and Jovic getting on thd scoresheet after lots of matches without one.
Perhaps isco and Jovic can build on the performance today and get even better
when i made this post 32 minutes were played and in the 33 minutes real madrid scored 1 goal and the game was tied. it made me feel calmer and 5 minutes later real madrid scored the second goal, i thought: victory is guaranteed. It was a game in which Real Madrid did not lose their heads as soon as they conceded a goal, on the contrary they improved and scored 4 goals.
next game:
Betis - Barcelona
for some reason this game has good odds, I bet Barcelona will win this game. I hope I have no unpleasant surprise

It's not surprising that Valencia lost, because Getafe is playing another great season. It's surprising how they lost. 3:0 and completely one sided game. If they continue to play like now, they have good chances to qualify to Champions league.This lost actually made me lose my parlay for today. They lost so easily with 3 goals conceded... Unbelievable...
Plenty of interesting games on Sunday. First is Basque derby between Sociedad and Athletic. Then Celta - Sevilla - it's tricky game IMO. And finally Barca will visit Real Betis, former team of Setien. Games at Benito Villamarin are never easy for Barca, especially for current team.
Valencia was the team that they want Barcelona with 2-0.
I expected them to be more competitive in this game against Getafe. Getafe is having a great season but a 3-0 is too much.
I think there need not a complement for a 3-0 loss.
Either a 1 nil victory or a 3 nil loss.
The facts remain that Valencia flopped and lost 3 good points and a 1 nil win does not hide their inconsistencies

I think you did not routinely track Valencia this season with several inconsistencies and poor form..
In such situations, you could have gone for over 2.5,i am sure the odd will be more than win/draw for Valencia.
Avoid complacency next time

But I don't get you, which game are you referring to? Yes, they haven't been playing as well as they should all the time but they're still in contention for all cups still in play, unlike Real.
Barcelona is also out of Copa Del Rey, they lost to Athletic club... Didn't you watch the match? It was there on the same day as Real's.It was very surprising that Valencia lost to Getafe.

Indeed Zidane top priority is La Liga imo. Giving chance to other players is necessary but he may underestimate his opponent too. If I was in his place I may done the same tho.
I watched Barcelona game which turned to be a huge surprise. They risk to get sacked from all competitions if they will continue like that seriously

100% agree Zidane needs to win this league because every season Barca continues to win it, they (Real) risk digging even deeper into the cycle. I've really enjoyed the Barca/Messi cycle but football must give way soon and I fear it slipping away, still, football is round and I'll always support them.
But I don't get you, which game are you referring to? Yes, they haven't been playing as well as they should all the time but they're still in contention for all cups still in play, unlike Real.
So for the first time in my life, I placed bet on Real Madrid and guess what Real Madrid lost their first game at home this season. I mean seriously! WTF! That Real Sociedad kid was scoring goals like fun. One of his got disallowed else he almost got the hat-trick. And Odegaard, well what to say about him! He's class apart. Norway's future is bright with Haaland shining in Germany and Odegaard playing invincible football in Spain.
Well, now I know how to help Barcelona win the title. I just have to bet on Real Madrid in every game and Real will lose the match!
Trick is working.

Trick is working.@webtricks you just chose the wrong competition to place a bet on Real Madrid match, because as @snipe has correctly said their priority is winning the La Liga or winning the champions league and winning this cup was never a priority for them. @slaman29 I feel that Real Madrid will definitely recover and win the La Liga this season, as Barcelona is having lots of trouble on and off the pitch.

Trick is working. Getafe will face Valencia today in a hard game for both teams, well the difference between 2 teams is just 2 points with getafe leading with 39 points, so Valencia will search to win in this game to exceeds Getafe, I will bet for two teams to score in this game.
Your bet is very good because I feel this match can end in draw as well Valencia is also doing good in recent matches and Getafe is playing at home so any result can happen but goals surely coming through from both teams for me both teams to score and over 2.5 are really good bets for this match.

A strong team doesn't mean they'll win. The team that win is stronger. At least that's what Tsubasa told me.
I can agree a bit with Tsubasa. As far as I know, the team that is serious and has better strategy + spirit in a match, will probably win the match. So, even if Barca/Madrid are big teams, they can be defeated if they are not really serious and have a low spirit in a match. Moreover, if the coach applies the wrong/bad strategy. You must be joking if they don't want to win the matches.
I don't make a joke. It was in my opinion since they didn't set all the best players in the match. This can be the big factor to lose when they underestimate the opponent.I wouldn't say that rest of core players was a risk, because it would undermine the supposed players effort, and abject the efforts of the coach.
Every players need rest, Madrid lapses were exposed because the players brought in to help, performed woefully, exposing their inabilities to break into the top 11.
Substitute, or bench players are expected to make an impact whenever they are called upon, but Real Madrid reserves flopped their lines. It is equally a good lesson, as Zidane would realize the need to encourage the bench players more, before reshuffling the squad by summer.
