Personally I would like to see a new champion in Laliga but of course we cannot exclude Real Madrid because they have a greater chance of winning the trophy based on experience and ability but that doesn't mean Girona can't win it although the chance is lower. So far we can only monitor who will finish in first place and in the near future we will see who is better when both teams fight each other. Real Madrid and Girona both have great players who are currently on the top scorer list, apart from fighting for the trophy, they also fight for the golden boot.

Yes, the next match in LaLiga will be against Almeria. Of course this is lucky for Girona, of course Girona is currently looking to shift Madrid's position. I think now Gaizka Garitano has to prepare Almeria so that they can play well against Girona, so at least being able to draw is also of course a good achievement against Girona or at least not conceding many goals. but I'm sure Michel won't underestimate Almeria even though Almeria is currently ranked 20th. Almeria definitely really wants to win the match. I think Almeria will definitely try their best even though the opponent they are facing is a strong team. Certainly Almeria and Almeria fans really want Almeria to win and we'll see.

Yes, currently Girona is in good condition and in the match against Atletico Madrid, Girona performed well and won the match with a score of 4-3. Yes, it should be that when facing Almeria, Girona will easily beat Almeria, but we won't know what will happen to the result of the match, because Almeria could be an obstacle for Girona to add points because when facing Atletico Madrid, Almeria can also put a goal in the net. Atletico Madrid and also against Barcelona, ​​Almeria were able to score a goal against Barcelona.

but I personally predict that in the next match, Girona will play against Almeria. I am sure that Girona will win, but I am also sure that Almeria will be able to score a goal against Girona.

Real Madrid is one club in the Spanish La Liga club that's been very exceptionally consistent this season both in the domestic competitions and as well as in Europe and are one of the only two clubs that were able to win all their games in the group stage of the UEFA champions league. But what's even more surprising to Real Madrid's impressive run this season is the fact that they lost a big player like Karim Benzema who was the club's captain as well as their top 9 striker last summer and couldn't get a replacement but didn't allow that to stop them from having a good performance since the start of the season.

The club's manager Carlo Ancelotti is one man that's very good in his managerial approaches as his continuous rotation of the club's players since the start of the season has immensely aided them in staying consistent in all the competitions they're involved this season.  They have a crucial game Spanish Super Cup game against Atletico Madrid in Wednesday and considering the performance of both teams, I expect Real Madrid to conquer their city rivals in that particular game.

I think Xavi is a coach who can stay at Barcelona for many years. He tries to make the best use of the opportunity he has. Don't you remember when he took over this team? He took Barcelona, ​​which was playing very poorly and was said to have financial problems, and turned it into a strong candidate team in the championship race again. This should not be ignored. I think their performance this year is not bad either

Xavi is a good coach, but he hasn't been able to bring this club into a good balance. Actually this boils down to the problem of the club itself, Xavi is not free to get what he wants, even for a player Barcelona has difficulty meeting the needs of Xavi, this makes Xavi have to work with the limitations he has.
Nevertheless, he was quite successful, especially when he brought Barcelona to the championship last season. It is very difficult with the limitations that a coach can do that and Xavi proves that he can. I am sure if he has the freedom and always gets what he wants he will be able to bring Barcelona to play even better, not like now. I think any coach if he experiences a situation like this will be very difficult to provide something extraordinary, so this is not entirely Xavi's fault.

I can confidently say that Girona is increasingly difficult to stop, their ambition for the end of the season is to have prepared everything to match their initial target namely to provide a new atmosphere in La Liga. So it doesn't matter if Girona or Madrid win the trophy later because both of them have the right to fight for the top position according to their current quality. Girona will face Almeria this weekend, coach Michel always tries not to underestimate his opponent. Almeria is not considered a threat but Girona will remain focused on taking advantage of the opportunities that exist. Because Almeria is one of Girona routes to balance Madrid at the top of the standings.

It will be another ez game for girona. The club is still on fire and it's ready to beat any opponent that will come soon. Im still concerning about the fact that if girona may not be playing seriously against almeria soon. Girona got pretty good odds in this match as it was getting 1.63 compared to the almeria. Yeah this is a very good odds for girona and im really sure that girona can win against almeria. This is a worthy match to risking our money to get decent reward caused by girona will be winning the game easily against almeria.

Im not feeling doubt anymore with the performance if girona after it was beating atletico madrid and barcelona known as the strongest teams in la liga after real madrid. So, i think that girona will be winning with huge margins even though it may be also conceding 1 or two goals.
Total over was also offering very good odds for 3 but the risk is quite high to pick over 3. Girona can also win with narrow score against almeria as long as it will be performing consistently defensive against girona.

People know so well how bad almeria is right now. I have no doubt that girona to win the game against almeria and three points can be secure easily from almeria. Girona needs to keep its focus on how to get la liga this season from real madrid.
Even though this was the most difficult mission to be completed but girona can dot hat.

the truth is that barcelona has become a joke, let's look at the case of real madrid in the cup del rey game, real madrid played against a very weak opponent and the real madrid coach chose to rotate the team, look at the players who were initials in the real madrid game:



For this game, Real Madrid's coach chose to play with 50% of the power that Real Madrid has, and it was enough for Real Madrid to win comfortably and only conceded 1 goal, which was an own goal. which clearly showed that real madrid was good in attack and defense, this shows the great quality that real madrid has in its squad. they hardly fall with the departure of any player, when ronaldo, cristiano ronaldo, zidane, roberto carlos, raul, casillas, luis figo, kaka, sergio ramos, karin benzema left real madrid, real madrid didn't fall, it remained very strong even with With the departure of each of the best players each year, Real Madrid always found a way to put another good player in the spotlight

Now look at the case of Barcelona:



They played with 50% of their strength and even so it was not enough to comfortably beat an extremely weak team that is in the lower league, in that game Barcelona had great difficulties scoring goals, it is true that they managed to score 3 goals, but They could have scored more goals, in defense they failed, conceding 2 goals. I believe that even if Barcelona were playing with 100% of their strength, they would still have conceded goals in that game and it would have been a game with the same result. In my opinion, Barcelona needs more changes, some players have a very different style of play than others, the team has not been in sync with certain players.

Girona has been doing really well in the soccer season, surprising everyone with their great performance. Even though Girona even Girona is playing perfectly, I didn't expect Girona to win when they faced Barcelona because Barcelona is also in good shape, especially since the match took place at Barcelona's home. The most surprising part for me was that Girona actually defeated Barcelona.

 But in my opinion it still won't be that easy because to become a leader in La Liga you have to have deeper experience. even competing with popular teams in La Liga is not an easy task because popular teams have more experience with various strategies to be able to regain their position first. but I really hope there is something different this season Girona must become the leader in La Liga to see new history without the boredom of seeing every season led by a team that always dominates La Liga. Madrid for sure won't make it so easy for them and so let's anticipate how the remaining weeks of the season would turn out.

I agree. Like they can see future stars with a sixth sense. Their technique of mixing veterans with young players like A. Guler is impressive. Im hesitant about Guler participating in the Spanish Super Cup Semi-final. He did well against Arandina, but Atletico Madrid is different. If Real Madrid has a comfortable lead, Ancelotti may play it safe and substitute Guler. I trust in Guler's talent, but such a high-stakes game could be overwhelming for a rookie player.

I think Real Madrid's strength is their player selection and planned team rotations. Their management of Benzema's absence shows their ability to prevent over-reliance on key players. Stepping up against Atletico Madrid demands ability and expertise. Guler deserves more playing time, but introducing him gradually in high-pressure contests may be better

It must be admitted that Barcelona is not doing well at the moment, there are many factors that have caused the performance of Xavi fleet to experience a shake-up this season. Player injuries are one of the causes, and the decline in striker Lewandowski sharpness is also included. There is hope that in the second half of the season the Blaugrana can appear consistent so that they have the opportunity to close the gap with Madrid and Girona.

The impressive performance of Madrid and Girona makes it difficult for Barcelona to defend the title, and another threat comes from Bilbao, which has a big chance of overtaking their position if they do not perform optimally. Xavi must immediately find the best solution to make his squad solid again, the challenges they face in the future are very difficult, especially if the UCL rolls around again.

Barcelona management should not think about firing Xavi, because they have to prepare compensation if they do. They have difficulty even recruiting players, firing Xavi is a disaster that must be avoided. To be honest, not many coaches are patient with the financial crisis, because it certainly hinders the manager steps in building a squad to be able to compete for trophies.

Yes, that's true, the coach will definitely secure several important players to avoid the risk of injury because the season is still long and the Laliga competition remains Valencia's priority. In my opinion, if a team is not able to perform optimally and loses against a weak team, the coach will definitely take out these important players to help. like Sergi Canòz and Gayà who were able to score goals and help the Valencia team win until Valencia finally came home with victory.
Indeed, in this match Valencia seemed to be having difficulties even though the opposing team only played with 10 people because the main players chosen by the coach were unable to create opportunities and only then could the substitute players provide more resistance.

Xavi's job is really difficult this season. In the La Liga they need to fight not only Real Madrid but also Girona for the title. How successful are they about that? Not great honestly. They need to win more games consecutively to prevent the gap from getting bigger at least. Because neither Girona nor Real Madrid lose points easily these days.

It is a shame that Barcelona don't have a stronger team play compared to Girona. There is a big quality gap when it comes to players but we can't see Barcelona showing this clearly. Xavi wouldn't get sacked this season probably but he would be expected to improve to be able stay here a couple of more years.  

Joao Felix contract at Atletico expires in 2029 and Felix current value is around 40 million so even if there is an agreement on the salary issue the reason for the salary cut is not always the reason for Barcelon a to minimize their desire to bring in player but not too concerned about the cash flow they face.
Last season they were still cutting transfer fee for players so Xavi tried to make some move by looking for free players and loan player even though they were still in profit due to winning La Liga  but they still cut their budget.

Now the situation hasn't changed i think because even though they are a big club they will still have trouble spending 40 million directly in the current condition unless there is a relief from Atletico such as the fraudulent scheme that Atletico always  does to Barcelona for several players such as Griezmann and Suarez.
 

Xabi knew that when it was difficult for them to win, he would use Lewandowski and that proved to be successful because Lewandowksi was able to score 1 goal which made Barcelona the winner in this match. Even xavi also played some of the youngest players they have but it was difficult for them in this match because there was no perfect completion of the attacks they built. Even though the opponents are quite weak, to beat them, Xavi has to field his main players.

Of course it's true that big teams will play second layer players to test their quality. But in this match I didn't see Lamine Yamal even though if Lamine Yamal participated in this match of course he would be the starter of this match. Apart from that, this victory made Barcelona move on to the next round.

But you are bringing this up here, all these players getting a rest can bring teams into serious trouble. It is unbelievable that Barbastro was able to stay so close and only one goal difference against Barcelona until the last minute. That should not happen. But it is typical for Xavi, who is one of the weakest coaches in La Liga, but got lucky that he was allowed to get the trainer position in Barcelona. Lewandowski is not to blame, Xavi is their biggest problem.

Las Palmas is also out because they didn't take their opponent seriously enough. It's striking how all these first league clubs run into trouble because they are arrogantly going into these games and don't take the challenge seriously.

I am sure Girona's performance will remain the same and will continue to perform very well like the previous match, Girona will definitely win this match. Yes, it is true that Almeria will not be able to do anything to put pressure on Girona's back line, because Girona will definitely play very aggressively to attack continuously and put dangerous pressure on Almeria's goal to win this match.

In my opinion, Almeria is not strong enough to be in Serie A, because their rivals look very tough and Almeria's performance is also very bad and they have not been able to appear consistently in the several matches they have played this season. In stark contrast to Girona's performance this season, Girona is able to compete with big teams that have a good history and also have great players such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. It seems that Michel has succeeded in providing effective tactics and strategies to compete against big teams in La Liga and brought his squad to second place at the top of the standings this season.

You are right about the resting side, but the home team should also do that.When we look at the home team's situation in the league, we have to say that they are in a troubled situation and in the relegation pot.They should not focus too much on the cup match.Valencia should have finished the match before extra time. Especially after their opponent was reduced to 10 men, both teams could have made good use of this and not taken extra time.Although cup matches are usually matches where teams use their substitutes, they can also have the chance to try some of their tactics in these matches.It's all about how they use it and it's up to the teams to make it harder or easier.

In cup matches, at such early stages, the coach most often gives key players of the main squad a rest and weaker opponents try to take advantage of this. But you are right, considering that Valencia had an advantage throughout the second half, they should have decided the outcome of this match in their favor without extra time.

The match for Barcelona was also not easy, although they did not have to win back, but to prevent this, Xavi used Gundogan and Lewandowski at the end of the match, so cup matches are not always as easy as it seems at first glance.

I thought Arda güler's first Real Madrid game was superb.Of course the opponent he played against was easy, but I think we can say that he did not stand out among the players.Arda is protected by Ancelotti, but it would be better for him to get more playing time.If he tries to do it directly in cup matches without adapting in the league, he may fall behind in some things.We are aware of his game intelligence and talent, of course, but it should not be forgotten that he is a footballer who needs constant time for the game so that it does not atrophy.
