I'm not going to bet on Atletico Madrid either. But Atletico hasn't lost a game against Mallorca since 2023.

In 2023 and 2024, Atlético was not playing as well as it is now. I think that looking at both teams now, I see that in this game Atlético can achieve victory or a draw. In my opinion, the odds of @1.43 for Atlético Madrid to win are still low, because this is not an easy game for Atlético.

Despite having injuries Real Madrid is doing good job and bringing themselves to top is one of the best from them because as Barcelona were dominating things were clearly indicating this season is belonged to them but Real Madrid and Carlos Ancelotti always give surprises but here Barcelona were also good way. Now 17 round left with both are having 7 points difference Atlético Madrid is also creating problems for both, but situation is going to be balanced for title race after years La Liga fans are going to enjoy good fight at the top between three balance teams.

Three are also involved in Champions League with chance of having good end in both leagues good but now it is good time for Atlético Madrid and Barcelona to break dominance of Real Madrid as they are again brought themselves into good position of going through for another double which is their trademark.

Real Madrid and Barcelona can be said to be equally strong. Hansi FLick has changed the whole scenario. With the help of Hansi Flick, Barcelona players are able to perform excellently. We were all very surprised to see Barcelona's big win against Real Madrid.

However, Real Madrid will undoubtedly be ahead in maintaining the continuity of good performance. Although Barcelona is a strong team, we often see this team losing points against smaller opponents. On the other hand, Real Madrid usually does not lose points against smaller teams. That is why the top spot in the table is occupied by Madrid. Even then, Barcelona still has the possibility of winning the title if they can continue their winning streak in the upcoming matches.

This is the excitement of La Liga, there is always a cross between each other at the top of the standings, not too dominant. At the beginning of the season, Barcelona performed impressively and Real Madrid did the opposite even though their squad was filled with star players and even expensive ones, but that did not guarantee their compactness. Barcelona, ​​​​flanked by young academy players, also gave quite a big surprise at the beginning of the match, even though they were finally overtaken by Real Madrid. But now it seems that both teams have found their best performance and this will certainly make the La Liga competition even fiercer.

Barcelona's previous problem was that they had difficulty playing with opponents who applied a defensive strategy, Flick had not found a powerful formula. This is different from the Guardiola era, Barcelona even though they applied the tiki taka slaughter mode. but they managed to dismantle the opponent's defense.
But after seeing Barcelona's current development, it's crazy to be able to slaughter in 4 matches outside of one draw, starting from Real Madrid being slaughtered 2-5, after that Real Betis 5-1 then had a draw then won a comeback again over Benfica 5-4 and finally won a landslide victory over Valencia 7-1, so a total of 23 goals in the last 5 matches they made. This indicates that Flick has found his best performance to overcome opponents who play a defensive strategy. Let's see which team will be consistent until the end of the season, without underestimating Atletico Madrid because they could make a surprise for Real Madrid and Barcelona.

clear, still nothing is decided but you understand that we are in the final phase of the season and not in the initial one
Start becoming everything fast and hasty, not to mention that we always have the Champions League, which is very important since the money to keep the shack come from there
I don't know, but surely it will be fun to find out

They are smart players and can combine with each other after having enough working time in training and actual matches. If they can avoid internal conflict of interest, they will have very good combination and imagine that Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrygo can make another trio attacking system for Real Madrid like Benzema, Ronaldo and Bale in the past, it's will be very powerful attacking system for them. Remember that behind these three players, there are Jude and Valverde who can score many goals.

Barcelona have more problems than Real Madrid because their players have less experience at top levels than Real Madrid players. They can change themselves season by season but it needs time and youth players can not help them winning La Liga title if they don't have enough experience.

Overall Real Madrid are stronger than Barcelona and if there is no big surprise from either Barcelona with too excellent form or Real Madrid with too bad form, Real Madrid will win La Liga title in this season.

Barcelona team management is more responsible than their finances for recruiting good players. I think they have enough good players and they deserve to win against any strong team in the world. They have a lot of potential players who are signed and they are in great form. They were at the top of La Liga a few weeks ago and their present players are doing their professional duties with great skill. If you compare them to Real Madrid, they have the most valuable players in the world but they can't giving their full perform lack of coordination. Madrid have made an impressive comeback in the last few matches it is a good feeling for them and for the fans.

Both teams have their own strengths and weaknesses this season. Barcelona has been extraordinary since the start of the season. Even if they remain consistent with their same performance as at the start of the season it will be difficult to stop Barcelona. But unfortunately Barcelona is not always at its best. And yes, Barcelona's main problem is just their consistency which is sometimes lost. And makes them sometimes lose points. So that initially Barcelona led the Laliga standings, now Barcelona can only be ranked third. Meanwhile, Real Madrid was unstable from the start, especially after several of their mainstay defenders suffered injuries. Real Madrid got worse at that time. But Ancelotti always knows how to improve a team that is in trouble. And in the end, Real Madrid started to improve over time and are now even at the top of the Laliga standings. But for now it is still difficult to say which is better, Barcelona or Real Madrid. But in El Classico the result is actually the answer. But because the season is not over yet, the final results of this season will be the definitive answer.

I think Real Madrid has not proven that they are now better because we have not seen the consistency of neat performance and also a combination of their two mainstay mbappe and also Vinicius.
Instead I think Barcelona this season must be recognized by all its changes and Hansi Flick as their new coach is successful enough to make a much better change for the performance of the Barcelona team even though they often cannot maintain their performance consistency.

Overall Real Madrid and Barcelona have a fairly balanced strength this season so that it is possible to occur in fierce competition in the race for the title, and the KUA of the team also has the same problem that is not able to maintain consistency so because it makes all possibilities possible for Barcelona or Real Madrid.

In fact, i need must say that Flick did an excellent job this year, and think its just the first season!
In my opinion it has the numbers to be able to do even better the next and said among us.
I find it right that with financial problems it has decided to give the Champions League more importance, the sponsors in this sense do a lot at the level of financial help.
I hoper Barcellona return to gold era

Barcelona manager, Hansi Flick deserves some accolades because it's never consider an easy task to handle the managerial role in Camp Nou. He's selecting his best players and also making arrangements to sign more potentials. Hansi Flick is oblige for greater purposes, more reason Julian Laporta trusted him with full confident to lift Barcelona. There are more key areas for Hansi Flick to looked into because weaknesses and bravery comes from the top before distributing to other bodies.

It's normal day for Barcelona when they thrashed Real Madrid this season on several occasions. Real Madrid becomes inferior to Barcelona after suffering numerous humiliating defeats this season. Carlo Ancelotti working on a plan to ensure his side keep maintaining their lead on the La Liga table because that's prove evidence of beating Hansi Flick and Diego Simeone this season. We looked from the viewing aspect of Real Madrid, they're vulnerable this season due to the new faces that are yet to have good chemistry and the coach having some bad time fixing his formidable formation.

There is no doubt that Real Madrid is the king of La Liga who always dominates Barcelona in winning both the English League and the Champions League. I admit that this season Barcelona has beaten Real Madrid in the El Classico event which was very aggressive, we need to know the chances of yesterday's El Classico match. gold for Barcelona because Kylian Mbappe is still recovering from injury so the attack line only relies on Vinicius.

The match is still not finished. Barcelona may have to fight hard to win the standings with Atletico remaining in the match, Real Madrid in the last few weeks has been critical of their core players but they has returned with full players and will certainly consistently maintain victory.

Real Madrid are getting their feet back after so many injuries woes and Kylian Mbappe finding it hard to settle down before but things are becoming much more better, Mbappe is really doing well now and their attack is not entirely dependent on Vinicius Junior to get a win.

While Barcelona has been trashing Real Madrid this season meeting which still do matter but the overall winner is still going to be the league winner and Real Madrid is leading that race, and might in the end become league Champions again this season while Barcelona might just have to fight for second place against Atletico Madrid. The stat of Xavi in comparison to the number of games with Hansi Flick was even better but we are going to wait for the season or next to fully judge.

So far they have managed to improve their performance and their strikers have so far rediscovered their sharpness in breaking into the opponent's goal, their awakening accompanied by the downfall of rival teams made them so far at the top of the standings leaving Barcelona and Madrid behind, although they are currently starting to get their consistency but I think they will still face big challenges especially now that they have to focus on the UCL which is starting to put pressure on them to qualify for the next round, although madrid are currently in 16th position but the victory in the last match is absolutely necessary for them to get, because the team below them still has the potential to get rid of madrid at this time, besides that the biggest challenge for Ancelotti at this time is of course how he is able to maintain their consistency until the end of the season.

Assume it is correct and Flick performances in first 15 or 20 matches are worse than Xavi's record, it doesn mean he is a worse coach than Xavi. The same if Flick performances in first 15/20 matches are better than Xavi's record, it's not enough to say Flick is a better coach than Xavi. We must assess their performances at a season ending, and even in a longer time more than one season.

Both Flick and Xavi are good coaches but they can have up and down in career and I don't know who is a better coach, at least now.

Changes in ranks of La Liga are from Barcelona themselves and competitors like Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. Barcelona actually have many bad matches recent weeks and if they had played well as same as early of season, they would have not lost the first position to Real Madrid even Real Madrid had considerable improvement.

I agree, according to statistics (either the first 15 games or 20, I don't remember exactly) Flick's percentage of points scored is worse than Xavi's. Bright games mean nothing if the team plays poorly on average. At the moment (and it's far from the final stage of the season) Barcelona is out of the title race. Moreover, it cannot be said that Real has turned into a monster with the arrival of Mbappe - on the contrary, the team has many problems and is in the "setup" stage.

Rotating players is very risky, especially if they rarely do it. In the Champions League, their current position is safe and they have already ensured themselves to be in the round of 16, they can use this to rotate, because this match is not a crucial match.
I think they can do it, although they might want to maintain their victory. But in a situation like this, they also have to be smart in taking advantage of the situation because there is no more time for them to do it in the Champions League other than this match. In La Liga, it is also very risky to do it, except in other competitions in the domestic competition.

I agree with you that consistency is key for a club in facing the title competition. Real Madrid has shown an impressive revival after a bad start to the season, slowly they can show their best performance, in contrast to Barcelona who seem to have difficulty maintaining the level of play due to injuries to several key players even though the squad owned by Barcelona is not as great as that of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid because Barcelona cannot recruit good players due to financial problems.

I think they will not use rotation players in this match. Barcelona will want to use their best squad in the Atalanta match. Because a win will be an important win for Barcelona. Because they are in a much more ambitious position in the Champions League. Of course, they will want to hold the reins in the Spanish League, but the Champions League is more important right now. They have many matches to play in the Spanish League, but they play fewer matches in the Champions League and stand out more. That's why I think they give more importance to the Champions League.

Rotation might be possible in cup games, or even against Atalanta today, although Flick might want to keep his place in the table to gain an advantage against his next opponent in the knockout stages. In La Liga, Barcelona don't have the luxury of rotating their young players because they need to think about how to get back into contention against Real, who have already extended their lead considerably.
