Lewandowski's action was really great and accurate, he was able to take advantage of opportunities well which ultimately made Barcelona win against Valencia with a score of 4-2 and to be honest, this match was a tense match because Barcelona was left behind by Valencia because of a mistake made by the goalkeeper who was unable to control the ball with well which ultimately made Hugo Duro very calmly score a goal against Barcelona and a mistake by a Barcelona player who made a foul which ultimately made Valencia lucky because Valencia took a penalty kick which resulted in a goal for Valencia.

In my opinion, Lewandowski really was a savior for Barcelona because when Barcelona was behind by a goal, Lewandowski was able to score 3 goals beautifully.

Now Barcelona has succeeded in taking points from Valencia which of course has now made Barcelona successful in shifting Girona's position from runner up in the standings. but of course I am sure that the competition between Girona and Barcelona will continue until the end of the season to fight for the runner up position. and the next match Barcelona will meet Girona, of course this is a match that has been eagerly awaited and I want to see Xavi and Michel's troops play.
Scoring three goals in the match against Valencia is not an easy thing because Valencia is a club that has played quite maturely this season even though they are still stuck in eighth place in LaLiga, but this has become something that big clubs like Barcelon are quite wary of, because of that could be an obstacle for Barcelona to get full points, but Barcelona was able to get these points even though they had support at home and that is a normal thing in my opinion, although here we can see how sharp Lewandowski is to create a goal at the end of the match and that is at least a changes in this match brought Barcelona to full points in week 33..

Barcelona and Girona currently only have a very narrow difference in points, namely they only have a difference of 2 points. So in the next match, namely the match where the two of them will meet, namely the Barcelona vs Girona match, the result will indeed determine which team will be ranked 2nd.

I wanted to say that Barcelona might just have their regular display in that match but then I remember Real Madrid has some matches to be played before they can be call the Champions of Laliga for this season and for this reason I think Barcelona will come with a full force to eliminate Girona but since Girona are hosting Barcelona, they might also coem with a surprises in the bag to deal.witb Barcelona, it's always this kind of matches that slap on the face, we shouldn't get too comfortable by Barcelona performance.

Quote
Barcelona at the start of the season experienced bad results against Girona. So of course in this match Barcelona will definitely try to get good results. At the start of the season, Barcelona suffered a fairly heavy defeat with a score of 2-4. So now would be the right time for Barcelona to avenge their defeat at that time.

It was very bad of Barcelona to allow Girona to beat them in their own home but I geues then they weren't really in the form like that but this can be corrected now otherwise this statistic result is going to be a bench mark for people after this season, they will always says that Barcelona is below Girona in Laliga, this is why they need to win this match by all means.

Barcelona defense is very poor in this match because some of their defender players did the mistakes and this makes Barcelona have to suffered conceded 2 goals but indeed everything was change after red card incident for Valencia because in the second half Barcelona can control the game and with 81% ball possession they can scores 3 goals from Lewandowski and this result is makes Barcelona can collect 73 points from 33 matches and they still able to managed their points gap 11 points below Real Madrid

Next weekend would be so interesting because there is a big match between Girona vs Barcelona and at December last year both teams has been met once time and at that time Girona can able to beat Barcelona with final scores 4-2 at Camp Nou and i am curious whether Barcelona can take revenge and win from Girona or not and i know since entering 2024 Girona performance was decline but while playing at home Girona still able to beat their opponents so Girona is still able to managed their performance while playing at home and i think Girona potentially can make Barcelona get in trouble again even there is possibility Girona can repeat their previous result from Barcelona and win the match
Although conceding 2 goals, Barcelona players began to dominate the game in the 2nd half, with a ball possession of 80% and a total of 27 shot, which was possible after the red card incident for Valencia. During the match, Barcelona's defense was nothing to write home about as some of their defenders seemed to make costly mistakes that could have jeopardized the team's chance of getting the title.

 In that regard, more effort has to be put in by the team to successfully attain the title they so desire. Also, Barca might still be able to maintain the 11 points gap they have below Real Madrid  if they can successfully gain 81% possession of the ball and make 3 goals from Lewandowski, collect 73 points from at least 33 matches. There's still a about 3games left till the season is rounded up.

 The match between Barca and Giroma coming up next week is one to look forward to, considering how Giroma won against Barca last December in a game of 4-2 as the final scores. This upcoming match, is one I'm sure we're all curious as to how the performance of both team will be because of Barca's current weak defense and Girona's decline in performance recently since the beginning of the year.

Barcelona must win today's home game against Valencia if they want to maintain second place in the standings. Of course it is true that Barcelona has a high probability of winning at home, but I can still consider this match as a difficult match considering that Valencia will also still be fighting for their hopes of qualifying for the European zone next season.

What happens if they don't win? Will Girona finish 2nd? Do you think Girona will win its remaining matches? Even if Barcelona doesn't win today, they will finish the league second. The Girona - Barcelona match next week is more important if you look at it in terms of second place. So no matter what happens, today's match is not of great importance. Second place doesn't matter much for Barca after losing the championship. This year Real Madrid was better, collected more points and won. Barca should now think about what to do next season. Xavi can give young players more chances in the last matches. Players like Yamal and Fermin, who will start the match today, will be the cornerstones of Barca's newly built team. Besides these, names like Vitor Roque will also come. Roque starts as a substitute today. In addition, we may see new names from La Masia in the last matches.

Regarding Vitor Roque in Barcelona, I have been expecting much more from this player since he joined Barcelona.
Recently some teams tried to hire Brazilian younger talents, Real Madrid did the same thing and it was working for them but it seems Vitor Roque was not a good option for Barcelona. In fact, when Vitor Roque joined Barcelona he was expecting to have much more chance for the game but he couldn't get the chance they wanted to get.
Now even Vitor Roque is thinking of leaving Barcelona if Xavi keeps holding him out of the squad.
Playing play on loan for another team can be a good solution for Vitor Roque with the current situation he has.

Here, Valencia actually gave a game that wasn't that bad in the first half. They were even able to lead with a score of 1-2 in the first half. But one mistake put them at a disadvantage in the second half because they had to fight by relying on 10 players to face Barcelona who became increasingly aggressive in the second half. And clearly this is something that benefits Barcelona in the second half. So Barcelona scoring 3 goals in the second half is a very normal thing. Maybe if the opponent was not Barcelona but another weak team then maybe Valencia could have maintained their lead. But because the opponent is Barcelona, ​​only fighting with 10 players is clearly a very fatal disadvantage.

But I think playing with 10 players and having your main goalkeeper get a red card is a nightmare for any team. You play with 10 players and you have a bad final defense because he is the second goalkeeper. I think even if Valencia plays another team that is not from the relegation zone then Valencia will find it difficult to win the game. I don't underestimate the second goalkeeper but with a 2-1 lead I thought the game would end in a draw. I think the opposing coach will try to increase the number of speculative kick attempts.
Barcelona managed to beat 10 Valencia players. Through Robert Lewandowski's hat trick and Fermin Lopez's goal, Los Cules won 4-2. Disaster struck for Valencia when their goalkeeper Mamardashvili received a red card in the fourth minute of injury time, for touching the ball outside the penalty box. Barcelona took advantage of the superior number of players to attack Valencia's defense in the second half. And this strategy was successful because in the second half Barcelona managed to add two goals scored by Robert Lewandowski and managed to emerge as winners with a final score of 4 - 2. I can conclude that Valencia's defeat was due to a lack of players and Barcelona's aggressive attacks in the second half.

Both teams played very well in the first half of the game and before halftime, with Valencia leading by one goal. But unfortunately the shot went a bit too far and the player got the ball in his hand while trying to defend, which was the biggest mistake of the Valencia team. Although Guli tried hard to stop the goal here but could not, I think the goalkeeper should have been patient here. As the Barcelona team roared back immediately after receiving the red card, they went on the attack to win the game and collect the three points.


yeah, After Valencia received the red card, it worked in Barcelona's favor. It was a mistake by the goalkeeper, unintentional though. But I'll put the blame on the keeper. Barcelona won, but they probably wouldn't have without that red card. Valencia had a strong start, but the red card changed everything. Robert Lewandowski's hat-trick saved Barcelona. With this win, Barcelona is further securing their second position only.
The red card received by Giorgi Mamardashvili really made Valencia very disadvantaged in that match. The Valencia goalkeeper probably felt quite panicked at that time. So he makes mistakes that he really shouldn't make. So in the second half Barcelona could really play more comfortably and keep Valencia under pressure. Because playing with 10 players will be very difficult for any team. Even though it is a strong team. But I am quite happy with the result of the match. Because with these results Barcelona returned to 2nd place.

Barcelona - Valencia

despite barcelona being far behind real madrid and not having a great chance of becoming champions, they need to win the remaining games to have a good image at the end of the league and finish in second place, as girona is not declining, on the contrary if They recovered from the bad moment and won in their last game, now Girona occupies second place, so in my opinion Barcelona need to work hard in today's game to win. looking at barcelona's performance in the last 5 games, they only had 1 defeat in the last 5 games which was a defeat in the game against real madrid in a game marked by controversy but in my opinion real madrid was a fair winner

my guess is that barcelona will win this game

Including me I have a strong believe that Barcelona will win this match, though is always tough whenever they meet Valencia because there last meeting was not so easy on the both teams which they ended up playing draw but I doubt if this match will be like that time because then Barcelona was not that strong and they were still struggling base on the challenges they were facing but right now they are very much on there good form and there targets now on  this Spanish La Liga is becoming the second position of the league since they cannot compete with real Madrid, so for them to achieve the second position is by beating Valencia because currently Girona has taken over the second position beating Barcelona with one point so if Barcelona win the match they will now have two points above Girona.

As today's match will be played at Barcelona's home ground, they will be able to win against Valencia. But if Barcelona don't show their best performance and play well against Valencia, then it can be very difficult to win. And Barcelona has a chance to win today's match. If the match is won, they can increase 3 points and overtake Girona.

just like I expected the match went exactly the way I had reason it however if it was a bet I would actually won because I predicted Barcelona to win the match and it ended on there favour so congratulations to them on there victory because that match was actually a determining factor of there progress on the league table because Girona's hope on that match was for Barcelona to either lose or draw the match so that they can be able to lead the second position ones again but it did not work out for them. Actually even if Barcelona managed to win Valencia but they go through difficult time before wining because Valencia was actually out for them on the first half of the match and before the end of the first half they had already scored 2:1 against Barcelona but because of the red card that was issued to Valencia they began to have difficult time copping so Barcelona saw a good opportunity and secure there three points.

I assume we can all say from now on that Atletico Madrid have secured the last spot for the Champions League.  Smiley  That win against Athletic Bilbao was a result that most people including me expected. Athletic Bilbao gave up early because of making really critical point losses against Granada and Villarreal both home previously.

Real Madrid are very close to announcing the title officially. Only a couple of weeks the most. I think the winner of the Girona - Barcelona game will determine which one will finish the season at the second position as well. I think Barcelona would beat Valencia today first and use their two-point advantage against Girona well in the game between later.  Smiley

Diego Simeone’s team ended up winning 3-1 in a crucial victory against their main competitors for the fourth 2024/2025 Champions League spot.

This was a very good result for Atlético Madrid because they were able to create a bigger gap between them and Athletic Club. At the same time, they have solidified their position on the fourth on the table. Now the point difference between them is six and I don't think there is actually any chance for Atlético Madrid to actually finish anything down than the fourth position. Actually, I do not think either of these teams are going to change their position from where they are right now. Even though Athletic Club has not been able to win a single match in the last four, I think they will be able to win in the upcoming weeks and hold onto the position that they are in right now. I do not see any hard opponents for either of them in the upcoming matches

I bet on Barcelona to win this match. But at the end of the first half I had enough doubts whether Barcelona could win the match. Because despite Barcelona performing well in the first half, they were trailing 2-1. However, in the second half, the Barcelona team made an excellent comeback. Lewandowski's hat-trick gave Barcelona an impressive 4-2 victory.

In the second half we only saw the dominance of the Barcelona players. Barcelona have 80% ball possession in this match. And made a total of 27 shots. Despite dominating the entire match, Barcelona conceded two goals due to mistakes by defenders. Barcelona's defense will need to be strengthened next season if the team wants to challenge for the title.

I wasn't comfortable with Barcelona's performance to win the game, despite that they have been playing well recently, so I bet on them over 2.5, which the odds is better than the odds given to Barcelona to win the game. I don't think Barcelona would have won the game if weren't for the red card that Valencia's goalkeeper received before the first half. Barcelona dominated throughout the game, Lewandowski scored a hattrick in the second half when he announced before the game that is not leaving the club at the end of the season. Many people say Barcelona defeated Valencia 4:0 those are the goals they should have scored in the Champions League against PSG to qualify for the Semifinal.

Barcelona are playing an amazing game, but I think Xavi should work on their defensive next season. Araujo has made a lot of errors in their games, he caused the penalty against Valencia and he is the reason why Barcelona got eliminated in the Champions League due to the red card he received in the first half.

The first half was not easy for Barcelona even though they played in front of their own supporters. Valencia immediately responded quickly after Fermin Lopez scored the first goal in this match, Hugo Duro managed to make the score equal again after scoring a goal in the 27th minute. Barcelona was trailing 1-2 after Pepelu successfully executed a penalty kick perfectly, but Valencia had to play with 10 players before the referee blew the long whistle to signal the end of the first half. Realizing the superior number of players, Barcelona immediately locked Valencia in their defense area, Barcelona managed to comeback and ended the match with a score of 4-2.

This match was very special for Lewandowski because he managed to score his first hat trick since he first joined Barcelona. Barcelona victory seemed normal because Valencia was short of one player. If Mamardashvili had not been given a red card in this match, perhaps the result would have been different. Several Barcelona players did not perform optimally in this match, Lamine Yamal was seen failing to open the right side several times, Raphinha also appeared under performing which resulted in him being pulled off by Xavi.

Barcelona was still lucky that Lewandowski performed optimally in this game, Barcelona got three goals from heading and one Lewandowski free kick. This victory also made Barcelona return to second place after being overtaken by Girona after scoring three points over Las Palmas. The next match will be very exciting because Barcelona will be away to Girona headquarters, these two teams will beat each other to secure second place. In the previous game, Girona managed to humiliate Barcelona at Camp Nou, will this time Girona defeat Barcelona again and secure second place from Barcelona?

Barcelona won the game against Valencia with huge scores but I believe Valencia lost because it made some mistakes which cost the club three points. The biggest error has come from its goalkeeper when he got a red card caused by handball. Valencia's goalkeeper was doing handball to keep Yamal from passing him when these two were one on one.
That is Valencia's biggest mistake. I'd rather let Yamal score so Valencia can score another goal with 11 players. That's a big mistake by Valencia's goalkeeper. He is suspended for several games following the red card.

Comparing Pep Guaridola with Xavi alone is a mistake because they are not suitable to be compared to each other. The careers of the two are so different that it would be inappropriate to compare them. It's not that Barcelona doesn't want to look for a new coach, but we know that their finances alone are unable to provide the best facilities for their players to date. Instead of wasting money, it's better to use what is already available. Xavi may not be a good coach, but is there another coach who is willing to manage a club with minimal finances?

There is no choice for Barcelona, if they want to improve the squad then improve their finances first.
So far we often compare players with other players, as well as one coach with another coach without looking at the factors causing their success so far, Xavi and Guardiola are certainly not worthy of our comparison because indeed they have different abilities and intelligence in coaching a team, so far we know Guardiola is a coach who is quite experienced and able to bring the team he coaches to become champions,  The number of trophies he managed to get when coaching Barcelona and Manchester City certainly makes us consider Guardiola a great coach so far.

As for Xavi, it is precisely the novice coach who coached Barcelona so far has only been able to provide one La Liga trophy, but have we all thought if Xavi coached Barcelona during his heyday like Guardiola did?
Of course Xavi might be able to surpass all the achievements of Guardiola at that time, Xavi managed to bring Barcelona La Liga champions in his first season coaching Barcelona which is in poor financial condition as it is today, let's imagine if their financial condition was stable as in the past?
So far, Xavi has coached Barcelona with poor finances but is still able to make Barcelona compete, while Guardiola has Isn't only coached teams that have very strong finances?

Yes that's right. In the first half the two teams played attacking each other and the match in the first half also took place with high intensity. Barcelona tried to take the initiative to build an attack but Valencia looked ready to fight Barcelona at the start of the first half. Valencia even managed to take the lead in the first half, but unfortunately after the goalkeeper received a red card, Barcelona took advantage of their player advantage by continuing to attack the Valencia defense and forcing the Velencia goalkeeper to work hard until in the end, Barcelona was able to turn the situation around and finally win.

But what caught my attention in this match was Lewa, it seemed like his time wasn't over yet. I was touched by Lewa's play in this match, he is still Barcelona's goal scoring machine. If only he had a midfielder playing under him like at Bayern Munich, maybe Barcelona would be much better because he is not a great dribbler, but he has an incredible feel for the game and positioning himself on the pitch.

I love "BTTS No" bets but when the odds are closer to 3  Grin
+86% looks good for profit per game, but in my opinion the risk here is comparable. Barcelona players should be encouraged that Xavi remains and there is no doubt that Barcelona will score, the problem is that they have problems with defense and Valencia will also have chances to score. If I honestly would not place such a bet, I would rather bet on Barcelona to win with a handicap of -1 with odds of 2.05. This is a risky bet, but here the profit justifies the risk (there is a small value).
gosh, my prediction wasn't right this time. Cry
yesterday at first I was doubtful after reading your reply with option -1 for Barcelona to win but I tried to be consistent with my prediction but the results were bad.
maybe if you keep betting on the result -1, you will definitely win your bet with higher odds than I have and that is very profitable.
Barcelona looked good in that match but what was on my mind was why was Barcelona still conceding?
since the first minute it started I believed that Barcelona defense would be able to survive without conceding because Barcelona really dominated the match but I was surprised by Hugo Duro who answered the score that had been scored by Fermin and at that moment I had no more hope.

Barcelona vs Valencia was really interesting match because Barcelona managed to win with fairly big score of 4 - 2 and what was interesting was not the victory but Lewandowski who scored 3 goals.
Lewandowski hatrick made everyone happy because Valencia was not weak team because if they didn't get red card at the end of the first half then the second half could provide fierce resistance.
In the first half, Valencia really seemed to dominate and could play well because they also scored two goals in the first half, if there were no red cards, it might be difficult for Barcelona to win.
Previously there was news that Lewandowski would leave Barcelona, but after some time he stated that he would stay and really wanted to be part of Barcelona in fighting for the title next season.
I bet on Barcelona to win this match. But at the end of the first half I had enough doubts whether Barcelona could win the match. Because despite Barcelona performing well in the first half, they were trailing 2-1. However, in the second half, the Barcelona team made an excellent comeback. Lewandowski's hat-trick gave Barcelona an impressive 4-2 victory.
In the second half we only saw the dominance of the Barcelona players. Barcelona have 80% ball possession in this match. And made a total of 27 shots. Despite dominating the entire match, Barcelona conceded two goals due to mistakes by defenders. Barcelona's defense will need to be strengthened next season if the team wants to challenge for the title.
I think this would really be an even fight if only Valencia hadn't received that red card, a blunder that ultimately became a nightmare for Valencia. Both goalkeepers made blunders, but Mamardashvili didn't just make a mistake, because what he did was indeed a stupid decision. After that red card, the situation completely changed, where Barcelona completely controlled the game and it looked like Lewandowski really knew what to do with the advantage his team had.
There is an incident that I think Barcelona should pay attention to. Once again, Araujo took an action that he should not have done. His aggressive play tends to turn into a blunder. This is like an action that was detrimental to his team when playing against PSG in the Champions League.

You are right. With Mamardashvilli receiving a red card in the first half, the scenario of the match changed to a great extent. But I won't say that Valencia lost because of only for this red card.

Because Barcelona trailed 2-1 at the end of the first half, but we saw Barcelona's dominance in the first half. Barcelona players had 83% of the ball possession in the first half. Having more than 80% ball possession in a match is not an easy task. Barcelona also performed well in the first half. However, Barcelona's gameplay was a bit slow in the first half. But in the second half, Barcelona played completely attacking strategy. Barcelona made a total of 9 shots in the first half, but Barcelona players made a total of 18 shots in the second half. I would say Barcelona won because of a good performance. But Barcelona got a bit of an extra advantage as Mamardashvilli got a red card.
