We all thought they was gonna be like Leicester City of the Premier League Competition, who went ahead to win their very first Premier League Competition but Girona couldn't keep up with Real Madrid on both meetings. Asides Real Madrid lose, they failed to grab important point before the first half of the season against Real Betis as they went on to share points with em.

Though, asides Real Madrid, they haven't lost to other top sides in the La Liga League Competition this season. Next game should also be Barcelona and I'm not sure they'll be losing that game.

They're fighting hard to get qualified for the Champions League Competition next season. Thanks for them to make the La Liga Competition fun to watch and also follow up.
When other tops clubs in La Liga Competition had up's and downs, they was the most formed club that went on to compete with Real Madrid, since they made it to La Liga, this has got to be their best season as they also made it to the top of the league and also the first four clubs.

Girona away game is a difficult away game. If Barcelona gets 3 points there, I'm almost sure they will finish the league in second place. It doesn't matter if they finish second or third, they will still be in the UCL somehow, but for Girona, the higher they finish the league, the better. I'm sure Girona will play with all their strength to win this match. If I were to bet on this match, I would bet on Girona.

I would not be surprised by the results obtained by Granada, being able to get 3 points from Osasuna because previously Osasuna had experienced a bad trend of consistent losses from 3 defeats and added the defeat against Granada to 4 defeats and that was a very bad result.
at first I thought the result of the match would only end in a draw but it turned out not to be according to my predictions but instead the result got worse.
In the remaining matches, you have to be careful in betting on every team in the relegation zone because teams from the bottom of the table like this can always give surprises before the season is about to end and as a bettor you have to be wiser in choosing bets and I usually prefer to bet on the result match scores to avoid such surprises.

This is considered a very brave situation but as long as the results go well then it doesn't matter because it is a fact that any strategy or any scheme that Ancelotti does in the match is something that he thinks is the best and I only see the results and their maturity in playing, in my opinion yesterday's match was not bad for Madrid even though it seemed to impose a new scheme.

The next game is against Cadiz but with a 3-day break I think that's enough and there will definitely be a rotation of players and I think for La Liga at the end of the season there will be some great opportunities for young players like Fran Garcia or Arda Guller but also against Cadiz there are still some players like Brahim and Joselu who are ready to be used as options and of course if Madrid want to try Courtois again they can still do that because Courtois is currently back.

Mathematically, Granada still has a chance to escape relegation this season and I don't think the 3 goal win over Osasuna is a big surprise because in its last 2 matches Granada's performance has been quite impressive.
Now Granada is 10 points behind Celta Vigo who is ranked 17th with 5 matches remaining. It is quite difficult to catch up, but if Granada is able to maintain its consistency in the remaining 5 matches, it is not impossible for them to survive relegation this season.

Naturally, as one of the experienced and great strikers, Lewandowski has proven his capacity and with the addition of this hat trick, he is in the list of number 3 top scorers this season along with Ante Budimir from Osasuna. It feels like we really miss Lewandowski's goal productivity which has stalled since the start of the season and now he has another chance to become the top scorer if he continues to score goals in every remaining match.

Lewandowski is certain to stay at Barcelona and will not be tempted by big offers from leagues outside Europe. He feels he still has a big responsibility for the Catalan club so he will fulfill it until his contract ends. Let's wait for more magic from Lewandowski which will certainly really help pump up the enthusiasm of the young players from the Blaugrana.

Granada surprised all betting fans this week by defeating Osasuna 3-0. Even this win will not be enough for them because there are only 5 matches left before the league leaves and a great miracle is needed for them to win all 5 matches. It would take a miracle for them to not even be relegated from the league anymore. Even though there is a 5-point difference between Cadiz and Celta, I do not think Cadiz has an advantage. The last 3 teams from the league will be relegated.

It's a difficult situation for Barcelona, ​​because while their rivals can build their squad well, they can only watch without being able to make significant moves to prepare for next season. This happens because they still have internal financial problems that they have not been able to resolve until now.
Real Madrid is predicted to be even more solid next season, because they will bring in the young player they have been targeting, Kylian Mbappe. Mbappe's presence in the squad makes the composition of the players they have even more perfect, because we know this season they don't have a player who can replace the position left by Benzema. Real Madrid will be increasingly ready to face the new season.

Barcelona have had enough competition with Real Madrid in La Liga last season and as a result of the competition Barcelona won the title by defeating Real Madrid in La Liga last season. The team Barcelona had last season was not much different from the team this season. I would say Barcelona have a slightly stronger team this season than last season but still Barcelona can't compete with Real Madrid.
Last season Real Madrid had Karim Benzema but this season they don't have Karim Benzema but still Real Madrid team performance is great and because of great performance they are very close to win La Liga title this season. 

If Barcelona sign some of the best players to their club next season, I won't say that they will beat Real Madrid because there is a good chance of Mbappe coming to Real Madrid next season, but Real Madrid will become a stronger team next season.

Girona's performance this season is impressive. I thought Girona wouldn't be able to remain in the top four of La Liga since Real Madrid overtook them in the first position in the La Liga table. But Girona was able to handle the pressure and remain in the top four of La Liga. Girona just needs to win one match in their remaining five matches in the league to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League competition.

Although Valencia often played inconsistently, I think they are just unlucky in this match. If they didn't get a red card and play with 10 players only, they must get a draw in this match at least. Before the red card, Valencia was leading with 1 goal. Unfortunately, their goalkeeper got a red card, then the match changed drastically. Valencia players got a difficulty to defend the attacks of Barcelona, that makes them got 3 conceded goals in the second half of the match.

It is great to see Lewandowski scored many goals again. This time, he made a hattrick, this makes him to compete for the top scorer in La Liga. Because of the good performance of Lewandowski, Barcelona got 3 points. I'm sure Barcelona will be safe to finish in the runner-up position. Anyway, Lewandowski showed to people that he still deserves to be the main striker in Barcelona. I think he should stay in Barcelona for the next season.

Even though you say you can't be consistent in competing, at least Valencia managed to be in the top 8 of the standings and that is quite a good achievement and very encouraging because it's not easy to be in the top 8 like that. Barcelona really needs to immediately improve the strategy they use because their game this season is not very good. Maybe they will improve this condition for next season, because if it is used this season it doesn't seem to be useful because the point gap between first and second position is already quite far.

Barcelona is still quite far from their best in a league where they should be better off normally. They haven't been above the 90 points mark for a while now. That's the difference this year as Real Madrid hasn't been dropping as many points as they did last season. If they wan to be ready to compete with Real Madrid in the coming years, they will need some more top class players. Guys like Lamine Yamal could make difference very soon. It's once again the case that nobody really understands whether Barcelona will be able to invest larger sums of money into new players, but I guess they can't go crazy at all and instead will have to try to improve their team with maybe one ore two players from the transfer market while recruiting more of their own talents.

Jude Bellingham is such a player that he's significance in Real Madrid can't be overly emphasized because he's performance so far has been really outstanding both in the times he has helped Madrid bounced back when it was looking they weren't going to have proper victory in certain game but then he has just been the very one they needed at the point in time when he gives off his incredible performance.

He's still very young and yet talented player and the fact that he's been a able to contend other players who would be considered top players even in his first time in Madrid is enough to see that he's got a future and will be really useful to the team both presently and in the nearest future. If he get Ms to stay in Madrid long enough I'm very optimistic about his performance in Madrid and in the fact that he's going to have a much more better future ahead because the team is such that has mostly winning mentality and helps you g talents as such getting to their peak.

Vinicius jnr is another player who's doing well in Madrid a d i think a combination of all of these alongside mbappe who's sais to be signed to the team soonest is definitely going to be a whole lot of improvement to the team and they are definitely going to make sure to be able to win even more trophies while staying formidable enough  as a team in every league they are going to play in by next season.

The limited finance to build a better squad and the increasing strength of Real Madrid are mutual exclusive challenge, not separate challenge. The purpose of building a strong squad is always to be a better team than rival. Madrid singing Mbappe is a big threat for any club, because Madrid already have a strong midfield. Having great and young talents in every position could make Madrid dominating the league next season and seasons after.

This situation puts Barcelona under pressure on their recruitment policy. Barcelona's board needs to give Xavi full support to build a strong squad. Laporta needs to not only make some good signing, but also address the medical department issue which is important to prevent players to constantly picking up injuries like what happened this season.   

The challenges that Barcelona will face next season are not only limited to the financial crisis they are facing and their efforts to build a squad, but the increasing strength of Madrid. If Los Blancos succeeds in recruiting Mbappe from PSG, we can imagine how hard Barcelona will have to try to win the trophy, but Xavi survival is another stroke of luck for Barcelona. Xavi remains optimistic about next season, even though he realizes the huge pressure awaits him ahead.

Recruiting young players or promote them from the La Masia academy is the best way to reduce expenses, even though it takes time to produce a golden generation again, I think that is the best scenario for maintaining the club existence in the long term. On the other hand, it is possible that Xavi will borrow players from other clubs again, or recruit players on free transfers as before.

We certainly hope that Barcelona can continue to compete with Madrid for the La Liga trophy every season, it really wouldn't be interesting at all if Madrid alone dominated the League all season long. Likewise with other contestants such as Girona and ATM, we hope that these two clubs will also be involved in fighting for the trophy. Especially for Girona, this is their best season and hopefully they can maintain their performance next season.

Sevilla have made some very poor decisions and that is what have led them to this place. They have hired the wrong managers and sold the wrong players, but the bigger reason as to why they're in the situation they are right now is because of La liga and Tebas. La liga makes things very difficult for la liga teams. Somehow, only Madrid doesn't suffer like other teams. It leaves a lot of questions. Some might argue that Madrid is better managed, which might be true, but does that mean Madrid is the only well managed team in La liga? Even Atletico Madrid are suffering.
Teams like Villarreal win an European cup one season and the next season they have to sell some of their big players because they can't keep them.
Something needs to be done or else, la liga would die off. If Barcelona wasn't in the league, la liga would be just like the Bundesliga where one team wins it for 10 straight seasons.

Both teams are quite a good match with encouraging performances. Barcelona are already having their second position on the table, but who knows how long it may continue since Barcelona is to face Girona in their next fixtures. Looking from stats, on their last two matches played, Barcelona doesn't have a good stats against Girona but I believe with the help of Xavi they may record a good win over Girona. If Barcelona can win Girona, which I strongly believe they will, then their is every conviction that Barcelona has secured the second position and a runner up, surpassing Girona with 5pts.

If Barcelona wants to compete for the league title next season against Real Madrid, this is the right time tey begin to look for players to join them for next season, they can sign young players and groom them better before the new seaosn begins. They don’t need to clear off most of their players because they are doing very well. They only need to fix the young ones coming with them to have a good squad depth by next season. Now that Xavi have decided to stay and continue with them, I just hope the financial crisis of the club won’t cause a big setback to the team and coach for the next season. Barcelona football is not bad till date, I just hope the can do better by next season as they’re planning to from now.

Statistically, Cadiz is better than Granada because they currently have five points ahead of them, but the nine of contention points is that, I don’t think their performance worth it this season and debating on who is better among them is not important since both of them going to the relegation at the end because they did not maintain to stay in the Laliga; Cadiz is going to relegation this season, Alemeria is also going to be relegated because they have just 14 points after 33 matches which means they win just one match this season.
While Granada is going back to where they belong.
