Girona managed to win away from home and move ahead of Barcelona with a game in hand.Although Girona didn't play better than their opponent, they had a good squad and Girona made the most of it.Although there were 3 penalties in the match, only 1 of them was converted into a goal.First, Las Palmas won a penalty in the 8th minute and failed to convert it. Then Girona won it and scored on the return ball.Las Palmas have been struggling to win for a long time.They have the potential to finish in the top 7 of the league, but their inability to win for nearly 9 weeks has put them far behind in the league.Maybe if they had won even 3 of the matches they played in these 9 weeks, they could still be in the race.

like my days are very lucky lately.
most of the Las Palmas vs Girona match will never hesitate to bet on Girona winning while Las Palmas is just a really bad team lately with 7 defeats, 1 win and 2 draws from the last 10 matches.
meanwhile, Girona was far superior in that match, even though Las Palmas tried to put up resistance to make things difficult for Girona, the results were still in vain because Las Palmas performance was very bad.
Girona was too good for Las Palmas, even though Las Palmas did not make the victory that Girona achieved easily they appeared to try to control the match but it cannot be denied that Las Palmas' biggest problem was scoring goals and that happened in this match because of five shots on goal none of them become a goal, while Girona is a fairly productive team whose weaknesses in defense their opponents couldn't exploit so they were able to get three points.
Las Palmas' six consecutive defeats are a very bad record for them.

Atletico Madrid vs Bilbao is one of the matches that attracts ATM revenge to beat Bilbao and maintain ATM position.
in the Copa del Rey competition, maybe ATM could be defeated by Bilbao, but this competition is not too important for ATM because previously it had other goals in other, more prestigious competitions and yesterday was a crushing revenge from ATM with 4 satisfactory scores to be able to strengthen ATM position.
Bilbao yesterday could not put up a stronger resistance because in terms of mentality the Bilbao players were no longer confident when under pressure from ATM.
Finally, Atletico Madrid was able to end their three consecutive defeats against Athletic Bilbao, yes, they suffered three consecutive defeats against Athletic, and three of these defeats occurred this season, once in a Laliga match and two in Copa Del Rey matches. Playing at home gives Atletico more motivation to get the three points and also this victory further strengthens their position in the top four, making the point difference with Athletic away.

and congratulations on your winning bet.

Atletico Madrid have finally put an end to the threat from Bilbao on their fourth position on the table by winning them 3-1 yesterday. Bilbao will only hope to play in the Europa cup next season as there is no way that they can qualify to the champions league anymore, due to their defeat yesterday.

It was a great victory for Atletico Madrid, and Simeone will be very glad to know that UCL is sure for him next season, so that he can work on his men on that aspect next season. Girona is sitting on the second position for the mean time till when Barcelona will play their own match.
Mathematically, the possibility for Bilbao to finish in the top 4 is still there, but we also have to look realistically at the strength of the teams above them, such as Atletico Madrid and Girona, who will definitely maintain their consistency to maintain their position until the end of the season.

Atletico Madrid's victory over Bilbao indeed ended everything for the competition or pressure that had been put on by Bilbao, but I think this victory was also worthy of Atletico Madrid because they played much better in this match, especially in the second half, Atletico Madrid's performance was really quite impressive.

Cadiz are in relegation zone and they are doing better than Mallorca in times of performance, the fact is that Cadiz as secured 6 points in the last five matches while Mallorca only earn 4 points but still i don't see any hope for Cadiz to secure this win despite they are the one hosting the match.

Atletico Madrid will push for greater results but having settlement for lesser one is quite understandable. Los Colchoneros was ambitious and streak in their upcoming games, ensuring to grab winning in matches that was necessary. They've sealed their place in the UEFA Champions League next season and it's good news at their ends. Winning the top phase matches was simply an easy going for them. Atletico Madrid didn't relent until they accumulated three points for themselves. Diego Simeone didn't come here to play, he needs vital results and having them was no much challenging for them.
Atletico Madrid won again at home when they hosted Athletic Bilbao and this has made Atletico Madrid successful in maintaining its top four position in La Liga. And with not many more matches at the end of this season, Atletico Madrid can certainly save itself to remain in that position until the end of this season. Because Athletic Bilbao must hope for three defeats against Atletico Madrid in order to take the top four positions provided that Athletic Bilbao also does not lose in the next three matches. However, it seems that this will be quite difficult for Atletico Madrid at the end of this season.

Now, the Real Madrid lineup is tough. Best players in the world, competition is fierce. I get the worry he wont get enough minutes. But that performance, mark my words, Ancelotti will take notice. More starts, impact substitutions, whatever it takes - the kid has earned his shot. It would be a shame if he has to go on loan - playing for Real Madrid, thats the ultimate goal, believe me.

Ancelotti must really be aware of his ambition. However it is really not easy to give him a lot of time to play in a squad with full of star players. If it was similar to Barcelona squad then I wouldn't have any doubt about Arda Güler's finding many more chances. Ancelotti said that Arda Güler would stay with them this summer instead of a loan as well. I'm not feeling like this is good news for him.  Sad

Because I mean in this way it is more difficult to see Arda Güler playing regularly. But if he goes to another team on loan and shows a great performance by playing regularly then his chance would be much higher at Real Madrid when he comes back.
I think this depends on Arda Guler himself, I mean if he can give his best game then I'm sure he will get lots of opportunities to play. I think there is a strong reason why Ancelotti rarely gives him playing minutes.
This is a common thing, we even know that several well-known players also failed with Real Madrid. We can see Hazard, he has only been a bench warmer for years, even though in his previous team he got a lot of playing minutes.
Arda Guler must be able to convince a coach that he is worthy of playing minutes in this difficult squad.

They were successful in winning when they faced a team that was competing with them in the standings, they were able to win the match comfortably with a score of 3-1. They did not miss their advantage because playing as hosts in this match, they could beat Atletico Bilbao.
Actually, this game was a draw, but Atletico Madrid were able to take advantage of the opportunities they got more effectively and the result was a victory that they were able to secure at their own headquarters.
This result made them succeed in widening the gap to 6 pounds in the standings, and it looks like with that distance they will really be successful with the top 4.

Even though in this match Madrid seemed ordinary in playing because there were so many reserve players who were used as line-ups due to rotation in preparation for facing Bayern in a few days, the results were still quite good and Madrid could still secure 3 points in the match this week.

With the conditions that occur now, indirectly this is clearly still a benefit, because looking at the table of current standings, Madrid are 13 points ahead of Girona and 14 points from Barcelona, although Barcelona still have one match remaining.
The match leaves approximately 5 weeks and Madrid is still very superior so it is possible for this season it seems that we only have to wait for 2 more matches to ensure that Madrid can lift the trophy if indeed 3 points can continue to get them.

Real Madrid is already Champions here and this gave them the possibility to play reserve players conserving the starting eleven for the game of Tuesday or Wednesday in the Champions League.This can give them a upper edge as they have rested most of their players while I don't think Bayern Munchen will do so although they have the same luxury only in another note,they fight for nothing now.For the title in Spain though it was well deserved for Real Madrid as the most consistent team and Girona was only a good fairy tale for this season but nothing more.They even eliminated Manchester City in Champions League,one of the best teams so this makes them even stronger and this means that in Spain they are kings.
If we look at the possibilities that occur at this time then indeed the great chance for Madrid to become champions this season has clearly happened but in recognition of La Liga it still hasn't happened because they have to win at least 2 more matches to make their points become unchallenged and it is recognized that Madrid is the champion this season.

Things like this although a formality but still they have to do the procedure so that before their points really can not be touched then they have not become champions even though the big chance is in sight.

For the Champions League they are already preparing for it and the fact that some players were rested in the match against Sociedad is proof that they are serious about welcoming the semi-finals because Bayern is still a tough enough opponent to face.
Given the way Ancelotti has rotated I'm pretty sure that in this first leg they will want to go all out and try to get the aggregate against Bayern.

All that was important in that game was just a goal to secure three points. It was very interesting to see Arda Güler scoring the only goal for Real Madrid to top more points.  I think the player made good of opportunity given to to him in the game. Real Madrid could not score more goals in the match against Real Sociedad because maybe they are reserving some energy for the Champions League coming games . The number of points Real Madrid have achieved so far for the season,  they don't need stress themselves much in laliga games, ut us very clear that the laliga title this season is for Real Madrid.
It doesn't matter if Real Madrid can only score 1 goal against Real Sociedad, at least Real Madrid won and took home 3 points in the match, it is not easy for Real Madrid to play against Real Sociedad. Anyway this club is not a mid-table club or a top club Sociedad can be said to be a top club sometimes but it is a version that is not as good as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid so Real Sociedad's level is still below them in La Liga but sometimes they also perform well against these clubs but in yesterday's match Real Sociedad was unable to do anything many at home. Even though Real Madrid did not use their mainstay squad such as Vinicius Junior, Bellingham and Rodrygo but in fact Real Madrid was still strong enough to put pressure on their opponents.

Yes, maybe Real Madrid is conserving the energy of its players to face a tougher match, namely the Champions League. Real Madrid will face Bayern Munich, a top club in the Bundesliga, therefore Carlo Ancelotti is as good as possible not to use his mainstay players to avoid the risk of injury. Usually at times like this the coach has to rotating its players even if they lose points in La Liga also does not rule out the possibility of Real Madrid losing the La Liga title.

Maybe it's not about Sociedad, but the fact that Real Madrid can beat even the strongest teams with essentially a second squad.
Real Madrid really had only one goal, which they used, but Real Sociedad pressed, but the Madrid goalkeeper was at his best and in the end Real Madrid won.
Although it should be noted the strange cancelation of the goal of Sociedad in the first half, especially strange that the referee did not immediately recorded a foul on Tchuameni, and waited until Sociedad scored and then canceled the goal to Real Madrid, which in general looked a little strange.

What happened was quite strange, but I saw from an overall perspective that Real Madrid's performance was very good in this match even though they didn't play with their main squad and Ancelotti made many changes and also rotated players.
The Real Madrid team this season is quite even in terms of player ability and I think that's what makes them worthy of being able to win La Liga this season, now Real Madrid just need to wait for time, they are already very far ahead in points from Barcelona who are in second place. and there are a few remaining La Liga matches this season so that the Real Madrid team can focus on the Champions League competition.

From what happened to Real Madrid this season, Ancelotti is a person who has a big influence, he was able to make Real Madrid's performance much better compared to last season even though there were doubts at the start of the season because he was not very active in the transfer market at the start of the season.
Over the course of this season in La Liga of course there were a few games with controversial decisions in favor of Real, but they were not so many to say that Real won thanks to refereeing errors. Real have had a great season this season, completely dominating La Liga and even in the Champions League Real were able to beat Manchester City, the winner of last season's Champions League.
This is certainly a huge credit to Ancelotti, who was able to conduct a good transfer campaign, buying one of the strongest players in the world Bellingham, but Ancelotti was also able to give strength to players who have been playing at Real for a long time Modric, Kroos and Vinicius and use their full potential.
Apparently La Laga is almost won by Real, there are a couple of points left and only 2 matches separates it from winning the Champions League.

Well, for Girona, they managed to overtake Barcelona because the additional 3 points made Girona widen the point difference to 1 point with Barcelona. However, Barcelona has the opportunity to regain second place because they have not yet played their 33rd match. I think Barcelona will definitely try to win in the match against Valencia because in this match Barcelona will play in their own stadium.
Playing at home is no longer an advantage in football this days, teams get walloped in their home stadium in front of majority of their fans, this same Barcelona were flogged 1:4 by Paris St. Germaine at Camp nou (or whatever the new stadium name is). They just have to be at their best and work as a team if they’re to win Valencia, who might not be an easy task too. Though the easier and achievable bet will be for Barcelona to win.
Xavi has proven he’s a good coach though he still makes some mistakes, I’m not so happy he says he’ll be leaving Barcelona soon but he had quite a good run

Granada vs Osasuna

We all know Granada is weak team in Laliga even this season they were suffering 20 loses from 32 matches so obviously Granada chances to survive at Laliga will be very slim even probably near to impossible because with only 6 matches remaining i think it's hard to lifted up their position and for Osasuna i think their performance this season is decline because Osasuna only can occupy 11th place on League Table and i am not sure they can able to repeat their last season achievement which at that time Osasuna can finish at 7th place but today if they win at least Osasuna will improved their position on League Table

Currently Granada has nothing to write home about and there relegation in this season is certain because this is one of there worst season so far and they have a very bad record, just like you said imagine playing 32 matches and lost 20 matches what a very poor record they have, so considering their situation now I believe there match today against Osasuna will end on the favour of of Osasuna because whichever way we compare the teams Osasuna is always better than them so perhaps this is a great opportunity for Osasuna to obtain there 3 points so that they will be able to compete with Villarreal on the tenth position of the league table.

I want to know your opinion about who will win today's match between Granada and Osasuna if you look at Granada's last match against Bilbao. Granada managed to hold on and finally ended with a 1-1 draw, while Osasuna in the last match against Rayo unexpectedly had to swallow The bitter pill was that Osasuna lost with a score of 2-1.

and I'm curious about your opinion whether Osasuna will win in the next match against Granada or not and I think Granada will be confident in the later match because of course Granada will definitely fight to escape the relegation zone.

However, it looks like it will be difficult for Granada to get out of the relegation zone because the point difference with Cadiz is quite large, but in my opinion, Osasuna will have the potential to win the later match and I want to bet on Osasuna winning.

With the courage that Ancelotti did last night, it is worthy of appreciation that Ancelotti dared to play second layer against Real Sociedad. It cannot be denied that with the squad that was played last night, Ancelotti's team was able to prove that the quality of this team does not depend on just a few players and is still capable. put out his best performance even though player rotation occurred.
Yes, Real Madrid's second tier players who played against Sociedad last night did have a pretty good performance too. In fact, if you look at the match as a whole, Real Madrid's second tier players received many sharp attacks from the Sociedad players. However, fortunately, Real Madrid, which was filled with second-tier players, was able to defend well and was even able to win the match through a single goal scored by Guler.
So with this victory, Real Madrid will certainly be very firmly at the top of the standings and it seems impossible that any team in LaLiga will be able to overtake them.

Arda Guler celebrating goal against Real Sociedad last day  Smiley

First of all, it was great to see Real Madrid and the coach Carlo Ancelotti giving a chance to Arda Guler as promised. I believe he said that he is going to give him more and more chances from now on. And it is also great to see that as soon as he is given a chance, he has been able to deliver. For his first game in La Liga, his first start in La Liga, he called and that is going to be something to remember for him. he is a good player with good abilities. he is able to continue his career with Real Madrid long-term, it is going to be great for him and he is also going to be able to become a legend for Real Madrid in future.

~Snip
It's true, Ancelotti should give players like Guler lots of playing opportunities. Because he has potential that can definitely continue to be developed. Moreover, currently Guler is still young, namely 19 years old. So, with his relatively young age, I'm sure Guler's abilities will definitely be much better than now. This season alone, Guler has scored 2 goals in his 6 matches with Real Madrid in Laliga. In my opinion, this achievement can be said to be extraordinary for a player like Guler. So it is not surprising why Real Madrid decided to recruit Guler last year from Fenerbahce with a fairly long contract, namely 6 years. Because of course Real Madrid has carefully observed that Guler does have very good qualities. That's why Real Madrid decided to sign Guler.

However, Guler's current challenge is definitely having to compete with Bellingham. The reason is that Bellingham and Guler both play as attacking midfielders at Real Madrid. But if, for example, Ancelotti has made a statement to give Guler more playing minutes, I don't think it's impossible for Guler to compete with Bellingham or at least match him.

Atletico Madrid proved their quality and they are now very likely to finish in the top 4 and indeed that is a worthy place for them, in terms of overall strength Atletico Madrid is slightly stronger than Bilbao so this victory is not a big surprise.

Atletico Madrid has better quality than Bilbao, so they deserve to finish in the top 4 and get a ticket to the Champions League next season.
And I think for Spanish representatives competing on the European stage, the Atletico Madrid team is one of the teams that is taken into account.

As soon as Simeone was able to fully concentrate on La Liga, Atletico immediately increased the difference between them and Bilbao, now it is 6 points, which I think will be enough to keep it for the remaining 5 rounds. By the way, Girona is also not slowing down, and yesterday’s victory even gave them the opportunity to bypass Barcelona, while they have not played their match in this round. Dovbyk was able to score another goal and is now two points ahead of Bellingham.

Atletico Madrid was successfully stealing three points from Bilbao at home game, which is good to hear that since three points meant a lot from this match. It makes atletico madrid will have greater gap to the its opponent bilbao. Nothing about the outcome of this game surprised me caused by atletico was owning the second half, the first half was making atletico madrid to feel so struggle with it.  I must admit that Bilbao was performing poorly. This club was able to beat Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, but Bilbao was unable to do so against Atletico Madrid.

I'm very disappointed with the outcome. Atletico Madrid will be able to secure a UCL spot. The win over Bilbao has helped Atletico Madrid widen the gap even further. I really appreciate it because Bilbao is a serious competitor for Atletico Madrid to finish fourth in order to secure UCL spots.

Congratulations to Atletico Madrid on an important win against Athletic Club. I doubted Atletico Madrid to win the games due to the performance they had against Alaves, which they ended up losing without scoring any goal. I thought the game would end up in a draw since the Athletic club is also fighting for their chances to make it among the top four this season. It will look very bad if Atletico Madrid does not qualify for the next Champions League, they got eliminated in the quarter-final, and I think that should be the motivation for them to win the rest of their league games to maintain their UCL position because they are only six points ahead of Bilbao.

Athletic Club defeated both Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the Copa del Ray, they defeated Atletico Madrid both home and away. Even in their last La Liga game, Atletico Madrid lost at Bilbao's home ground, but they were unable to do that in the second game. This is the first victory Atletico Madrid has had against Bilbao this season.
