Now the second half is underway and I expect something more interesting in this second half but for the victory I still expect Madrid to be able to win again even though they are the away club in this match.
Madrid haven't changed any of their players but it looks like it will be in the final 20 minutes where they will start the same plan where comeback specialization is the best.

Well as of now, Atlético Madrid is leading by 2 goals to 1 courtesy of a mistake from Camavinga and goal by Álvaro Morata. I expect more drama in this match as it progresses. Probably a red card at some point, since the referee is a hot head as well.

I already predicted this game to be a draw because I don't think Real Madrid will allow Athletico to win them back to back just like that,the two teams are good teams and the fight might be equal,but I think Madrid will come back to score to make it 2:2.It is going to be a draw match,and no doubt about that.If madrid should draw this game,then they are already giving more room to Girona to continue to top the table. If Athletico Madrid are to maintain this 2:1 lead,then they must continue to press higher,else Madrid will come back to equalise them and even win them.Defending when they are winning now will cause more harm to their post.

It didnt last long because just before the half-time whistle Madrid got a goal back but i don't really know if it was Modric or Jan Oblak own goal but its 1-1 now.
This match is still pretty much the same as before IMO where for the first half they are still trying to hold each other although in the semifinal match it was actually more interesting but this time in the first half the two clubs wanted to wait for one of them to confront.

I think for the second half it will be more interesting if you look at the situation that happened in the first half they should be hotter in the second half.

The goal is an own goal awarded to Oblak and not registered a Modric goal. I thought I was the only one that has notice how cold the first half and the start of this second half is. Both teams are actually pretty putting same energy as the first half this is because they are very wary of each other and that’s why the game each is like this, other games Real Madrid usually gives the ball more to Atletico Madrid and then try to hit them on counter and this game seems like Atletico aren’t playing to that level and Madrid are actually a bit confuse.

Ahh Morata doubles it for Atletico Madrid, this press is definitely not going towards plans and I think they might lose this one and get knocked out. Real Madrid as always not taken this competition seriously even in the past but this two meeting now is just so early to me, let’s see what they play in the remain minutes

Yeah, we are looking forward to more drama in this game as Atletico Madrid doesn't want to take chances is this game because they're actually playing with determination and Real Madrid doesn't also look like they gonna accept defeat in this game but however, kudos to Atletico Madrid for taking the lead first because it might give them an advantage and confidence to defeat Real Madrid so let's stay glued till the rest of the match as they're in the 74th minute of play as at the time of giving this information.

So far, Xavi is one of the most successful coaches in my opinion. Barcelona doesn't need to act rashly by sacking him and finding a replacement coach for him

Well, Xavi ranks amongst good coaches in europe today; but he does not rank as one of the most successful coaches in europe; and if Barcelona sack the dude today' they will face little difficulty replacing him.

The problem with Barcelona this season has to do with players depth, injury profiles and poor investment in the squad. No coach can fix such deficit.
Better for Barcelona board to trust the process with Xavi

Coach isn't the problem that FC Barcelona is facing now, just like you've listed some of the challenges that has led to problems the club is facing now, I have same knowledge of Barcelona as you because sacking Xavi might even do the club more harm than good because i don't see anything wrong with Xavi's coaching skills now because he has been putting in his best in other for Barcelona to still sail through regardless of some problems that the club is faced with so sacking him shouldn't be an option for them now after all the club is still faced with some financial crisis so it will be good to give Xavi more time to work on the team.

Although their coach is primarily to blame for Barcelona's problems, I disagree because despite the coach his try his best efforts to build a good team, and still the team's performance has been consistently poor. However, I'm not sure that they can able to back normal form now, because a lot of Barcelona players desire to be hurt or if one of their players is the root of the issue. Given that Barcelona's coach is persistently striving to return the team to its prior level of performance—and they will genuinely make that happen—I doubt that Barcelona will return with their best performance anytime soon, but like seriously Barcelona is pretty unserious this days.

I quite agree with your opinion. because there are several examples that Xavi has experienced, for example coach Kloop at Liverpool, he also took quite a long time to grow Liverpool to what it is today.

Xavi also deserves to be given the opportunity to try to restore Barcelona, especially with Barcelona's financial condition not yet improving. So if they fired Xavi it could be said that this was a careless act, because he deserves to be given a second chance at Barcelona. Barcelona's problems, as you said, are quite numerous, not only Xavi's fault, I'm also sure, even if Xavi is fired now it will not increase Barcelona's self-confidence. Currently, Xavi will of course continue to rise, especially since they have just won the last 16 match of the Copa del Rey with a score of 1-3. However, Barcelona's defeat against Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup was no reason for Xavi to defend himself because it was also his mistake in implementing strategy.

For once I really doubted Barcelona in the Copa del Rey game of theirs today. Sad

They played against a team named Unionistas which were a third league teams in Spain. I even heard of their name for the first time in my life. But Barcelona couldn't get ahead against them for 69 minutes and Unionistas even got ahead first during the game.

On one hand Real Madrid are having a really hard time against Atletico Madrid. Because Atletico Madrid have got ahead once again and it is 2-1. There is half an hour left in the game and I'm curious about whether Real Madrid will really get eliminated. Huh

Bad timing for the post Tongue

But the game is quite even so far although it began with Atletico Madrid having more control, now it shifted in favor of Real Madrid. But the game is close, sadly I don't know how the goal came about, the own goal that Oblak scored.

I still think that Real Madrid is the favorite for this game although it is the close game I expected.

Oh wow, that was faster than I thought. So I was sure Real Madrid would score... now it was an own goal, Oblak makes a mistake and now Real will come. So I think they will score another goal, my tip. They can win the Copa del Rey, even if Barcelona are still in it, they can beat them and they did recently. On Sunday they play at home against Almeria, that should be an easy game and an easy 3 points. Sports betting on Real to win = x1.15.

Wouldn't it be more interesting if Madrid could immediately reply to the score because if you look at the score now it is no different from what they did in the previous semi-final when they chased each other's goals Cheesy

Currently the revenge mission for Atletico is still very big because they don't want to let go of this Copa delRey competition just like when they let go of the Supercopa but on the other hand in terms of possession in the first half we can see that Madrid is still quite dominant there.

Now the second half is underway and I expect something more interesting in this second half but for the victory I still expect Madrid to be able to win again even though they are the away club in this match.

You can’t compare Real Madrid's performances with Almeria's. Real Madrid are far better than Almeria; therefore, their upcoming match is something that is simple to predict in my opinion. We know that Real Madrid are looking for a way to overtake Girona in the standings, and they only need one to do that, so I believe both teams are going to double up their performance. Girona will not like Real Madrid going overtake while Real Madrid wants to overtake, which will make their matches tough.

Yes, of course comparing the two clubs, the depth of performance is very different and the players are also very different, even statistically, Real Madrid is much stronger and on one side of the match, Real Madrid will be the host, which allows Real Madrid to score in large numbers and get 3 points. to shift Girona because Girona in the next match will face Sevilla and I'm sure the result will be a draw.
I would not hesitate to include Real Madrid in my betting slip with a very convincing -2.

Almeria is no where close to Real Madrid and at sometimes even if real Madrid is not playing home, their will still win the match and walk away with the 3 point allocation, and if that becomes a reality it will place real Madrid on the path to recovering their lost glory to Barcelona in the last season.

Secondly, I won't compare both clubs for anything because we can't even be able to get the right data's and statistics the do so, and for that we have to just avoid going into such argument as to what makes for the best team among them both, but one thing I am sure of is that, Real Madrid is far better in this games if we have to compare.

Beating Altetico at home is quite difficult for Real Madrid because we know for ourselves what the atmosphere is like for Atletico fans when playing at home.
Moreover, these fans are known to be racist which can affect the mentality of Madrid players. Last season they acted racist towards Vini and until now it is not clear what the sanctions will be for Atletico fans.
But if you look at the performance of the two teams, Real Madrid is clearly the favorite because they are unbeaten this season. So let's take a look at the final score of this match.

Now it is 1-0 for Atletico and Samuel Lino has made it... surprise. Real Madrid played better and they should have scored earlier, now it is the other way. A few minutes and it is half-time, it will certainly be more exciting after the break. Real Madrid will score at least one goal today, I dont think it will stay at 1-0. The Copa Del Rey doesnt belong to La Liga, but I think Real have a good chance of winning all competitions this year. They have already show their best performance in La Liga.

It didnt last long because just before the half-time whistle Madrid got a goal back but i don't really know if it was Modric or Jan Oblak own goal but its 1-1 now.

The Barcelona board has given Xavi time to coach Barcelona and that is not only this season, but also the previous season. Now Barcelona also cannot completely blame the coach if there are still some shortcomings on the other side, such as in some of the aspects you said. Xavi might be able to be better at training Barcelona players, but if the players are still like they are now, it will also make Barcelona develop better because it is still not enough to make Barcelona strong again like before.

Unbeatable force meets unstoppable giants. Copa del ray clash between city rivals in Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid. Last time they met at Cívitas Metropolitano, Real won the match 3-1. Will Real continue their good form or Atletico will put a stop to it?

Today’s match is one of the toughest, although the match is already in halftime. As the match is going on, the score remains 1-1, even though we know that today's game will be hard to predict. I know that Real Madrid might be the winner, but never the less, from the game so far, Real Madrid are performing better than Atletico.

To me, Real Madrid are in the most excellent situation and conditions because they have already won the Western Super Cup against Barcelona with a score of 4-1. And again, from their last 15 matches, they won 12, had 3 draws, and lost 0 games, so even from hearing this, you will know that Real Madrid might win this match, although even Atletico Madrid also faces Real Madrid with 3 wins, 1 loss, and 2 draws in the past 6 games, so they might also be viewed as the winner since this is a game we can’t say for now.

This happens because Madrid apart from those who do have more complex player strengths, the role of the players can also still be said to be balanced in contrast to Barcelona which is not too balanced in that regard.
Losing Cortouis, Militao, Vasquez and Alaba is indeed a big loss but it can still be anticipated with several other players who are still very young and can be played anywhere like Tchouameni or their senior player Nacho who can play in the defender position and for the full defender problem filled by Vasquez actually he is an option for Carvajal so Madrid can still breathe a little different from Barcelona.

Losing Ter Stegen is a difficult situation and losing their 2 speedy wingers Gavi and Raphinha will certainly make their situation worse as time goes by because up until now, losing Gavi and Raphinha in attack alone has affected their performance because Xavi cannot find options for the 4-3-3 scheme he always uses.

Of course, Barcelona is currently in decline due to injuries to several of its main players. Ter Steigen is a better goalkeeper than Inaki Pena, but Xavi has no other options because he has limited goalkeeper stock. Likewise with wingers, but Xavi has tried his best to make Barcelona compete even though the results are not satisfactory.

So far the points gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid is very large. that's about 8 points that look hard to catch if Barcelona don't really improve. The odds are too low to secure the title this season, but Barcelona is a team that should not be completely ignored.

Real Madrid seems to be better prepared than Barcelona when it comes to replacing injured players. It is also important to note that only 4 players were injured at Real Madrid. and Barcelona has 6 injured players including Gavi who is a 19 year old young player with a Torn injury to the Cruciate Ligament since 23 November 2023 and may play on 30 June 2024.

So far, Xavi is one of the most successful coaches in my opinion. Barcelona doesn't need to act rashly by sacking him and finding a replacement coach for him, that just increases the pressure internally on the club. Barcelona must respect Xavi and give him full trust this season, even when the club is still hit by a crisis.

I think whoever the coach is, Barcelona has the possibility of going down because of the depth of their squad, but this seems to be ignored by some of the mainstream media. Xavi is yet to miss opportunities in La Liga, the Copa Del Rey and the Champions League, so the management and fans will have to be patient about his work.

Xavi is not the problem in Barcelona's situation; he is doing his best to make sure the team regains it balance and the respect they used to have, but there is not enough squad depth to be a top competitor in La Liga this season due to a lack of squad depth, and even though Xavi tries to sign some players from various teams across the world, they are yet to become the Barcelona we used to know. Nevertheless, giving Xavi more time will give them a positive result because he has experience and can do very well if given more time.
