Girona are not performing like before anymore, I think Barcelona will have the chance and death Girona because Barcelona are better than them currently and they won't try to lose the second leg against them, even if Barcelona didn't win the match, he can be a draw game but he will be very difficult if not Barcelona win and end up in the second position in the league table, but Girona can get more advantaged than Barcelona because they are playing at home and they won't like to lose at home.

Even though Girona did not win the match, I am happy because Girona will play in the Champions League next season and I am very sure they will buy some new players that will make the team stronger to perform very well in the competition, because I don't like Athletico Madrid are not impressing in the Champions League. Even in the league they will be performing well when the season starts but when it comes to the end, they will put more effort and will be playing weak games that will I did not anticipate Athletico Madrid would lose to Alaves last Saturday. Barcelona will not attempt to lose against Girona because it would be a shame for great teams like Barcelona to end in third place in the league.

They are only 3 points ahead of the athletics club in fifth place. This means one defeat and Atletico Madrid will be overtaken by Athletic Club if they win. This will be a difficult time for Atletico Madrid. The defeat against Alaves was beyond my expectations. I think this will expose their weaknesses. I looked at the match schedule and it turns out Atletico Madrid will meet Athletic Club this week. This will be a very interesting match because both teams have their own motivation to win. If Atletico Madrid wins they will secure fourth place with a difference of 6 points. If Athletic Club wins, they will move Atletico Madrid to fourth place due to goal difference.

Barcelona are finishing this season with a huge disappointment. They have failed to compete with Real Madrid this season. If they lose to Girona and finish third in the league, it will surely be an even bigger disappointment for them.

Barcelona lost to Real Madrid in their last league game, but before that, they had won consecutive games. We can say that they have been getting consistent results in recent weeks. Girona have been getting inconsistent results in recent weeks. I think Barcelona will finish second in the league but I don't think this result will make Barcelona fans happy. Every season without Barcelona as champions is a nightmare for them.

A big competition is going to happen between Barcelona and Girona. Girona is only two points behind Barcelona. And both of them have a match against each other. They are going to fight for the second position. I believe for both of the teams it actually means something to be the runner-up of the La Liga competition. For Barcelona, it means having some pride in finishing in the second position. For Girona, I believe finishing on the first three positions is already a big improvement. But finishing in the second position and finishing above Barcelona is something of an achievement in itself. But they will also have to win the other matches that are left for them. I don’t know if Girona will be able to be so consistent at this stage.

While I do agree that Ancelotti is a far far better manager, one of the all time greatest manager of course, that still doesn't change the fact that Real Madrid has been complained about by every team.

I mean if it was just one or two, I would understand, and obviously every fan, every player, every manager, every staff, including Perez, all will say that teams are complaining because Real Madrid is good and they beat them, but the reality is that we have so many video proof that they got undeserving wins, and they can fool themselves if they want to, but we see the videos, we do not buy it. So that is why Simeone had no chance, for a team with such smaller budget compared to opponents, they are doing fine in general, even won a title a few years back.

Real Betis and Real Sociedad have a competition going on between themselves about who is going to finish in the sixth position. I think we can also say that Valencia is also in that race as well. Actually, before the match between Valencia and Real Betis, Valencia was the one who had a better chance to compete for the sixth position. But after the loss in this match, they have actually caused problems for themselves. they also have a match against Barcelona still left in the La Liga competition.

So I don't think it is going to be a good idea to assume they are capable of finishing on the sixth position. Real Betis does have a chance but the problem is they also have a match left with Real Madrid. I am pretty sure that they are not going to win that match. But the reason why I think there is a chance for Real Sociedad to actually lose the position is that they have one match left against Barcelona and one match left against Real Madrid. And that is a big problem for them right now.

Nooo man so sad that bet, losing it for that match makes me feel like shit.

But one thing caught me, really the odds before the match was 1.85 for Atletico Madrid? Seems really high, and i have to say if i see it i also gonna take that bet.

Simeone needs to rebuild all the team, is gonna be a really shaking market this one for them.

Alaves secured all three points at home against Atletico Madrid, that was brutal reply from them. Atletico Madrid had a tough week and suffered a disappointing loss against Alaves. Diego Simeone's team seemed to still be affected by their previous Champions League defeat. They don't seem focused when playing away games. However, Alaves' important victory is shaking up the La Liga standings. While Diego Simeone's side may struggle to catch Girona, they face a tough battle to secure a top-four finish this season.

Atletico was really very disappointing, obviously, because basically Alaves was also a promoted team this season but in fact, in their match yesterday, basically Atletico still had good statistics in the match. But still, Atletico failed to score a goal and instead of scoring an equalizer to make it 1-1, in fact Atletico conceded for the second time in the match so Alaves managed to win with a score of 2-0, and Alaves managed to end the previous three consecutive defeats.

Also, regarding the next match, the reality is that Atletico will play at home against Bilbao but, even though they are still in competition for fourth place, but the reality is that recently the performance of Atletico and Bilbao has also decreased. But yes, if for example Bilbao beat Atletico then Bilbao and Atletico will have the same points, but Bilbao wins in total goals. Therefore, if for example Bilbao manages to beat Atletico then Bilbao will overtake Atletico even though their points tally is the same.

But yes, considering Bilbao's performance which has also declined in the last three matches, then I doubt Bilbao in the match against Atletico later, and it looks like Atletico will be able to maintain its position in the top four.
By the way, I might be one of the victims of Atletico bad result against Alaves yesterday. LOL

I think that Atletico Madrid was on fatigue, and their exit from Europa might also have affected their performance as they lost to Dortmund in the quarter finals second leg in Germany. This must ha e been the cause of their defeat on Sunday. I believe that Atletico Madrid will take their next match very serious with Bilbao, especially now that their qualification to the champions league next season is at stake.

Bilbao also wants to go to the champions league next season, and they have seen this match as an advantage for them to make their dreams come through, if only they can defeat Atletico Madrid. It will really be worst for Atletico to lose this match because if they do, Bilbao will move to the fourth position on the table with goal aggregate. It will be an interesting match to watch.

Atletico journey to finish in the top four of the standings will be determined in the next match, they will face Bilbao, who is their closest competitor. On paper, Simeone squad has a higher chance of securing full points, besides that acting as hosts will certainly make it easier for them to win and forget about the defeat to Alavez. Bilbao will also try to make the most of the opportunity, they must gain momentum if they have the ambition to play in the Champions League. The Atletico versus Bilbao match will be one of the interesting matches next week.

Currently Atletico and Bilbao are only separated by 3 points, this is a real threat that Simeone squad must take very seriously, because the number of matches ahead is no longer many. Although tradition Atletico are certainly more experienced when it comes to competing in the top four and securing tickets to the Champions League, it could be that this season Bilbao will get that luck. Apart from all that, the competition to finish in the Champions League zone is predicted to continue until the end of the season.

Atletico Madrid failed to stay away from Bilbao  after a shock defeat to Deportivo Alaves, in the previous match, Bilbao failed also won full points from Granada but in my opinion it was Atletico's defeat that gave an advantage to Bilbao, because they could still keep a distance so they still had the opportunity to be able to chase the Champions League zone, if Atletico won yesterday's match of course Bilbao's chances were increasingly closed to get to the Champions League zone Because of their wider gap, what you say may have some truth, the defeat to Dortmund certainly made the mentality of the Atletico players down and we can even see how Alaves can break Atletico's concentration when Atletico dominate the match.

The defeat of Atletico Madrid, I think now again opens up opportunities for Bilbao because now they are only 3 points apart, so I think next week's match between Bilbao and Atletico Madrid will be decisive for both teams in winning the last ticket to the Champions League next season, I think Bilbao should be able to take advantage of next week's match to be able to ensure a Champions League ticket next season for them because honestly I want to see how great it is Bilbao if the Champions League next season.

Atletico lost very unexpectedly, but they were lucky that Athletic Bilbao also lost points in this round. In a head-to-head match, Atletico will not miss their chance to beat the guests, this is too important a match. Maybe the defeat in the Champions League affected Atletico, it’s difficult when you have to stop one step before the semi-finals, especially since they had a victory in the first match.

But they need to move on, so that have the opportunity to play in the Champions League again next season. I don’t expect the team that reached the quarterfinals to be left without a Champions League, so I only expect victory from Atletico.

What?  Have you read the details of the case yourself?
This is 100% corruption, but if facts are not enough for you and you want to pretend that “not everything is so simple here,” then you cannot deny that this is a 100% conflict of interests, the existence of which in any civilized country is already enough to dismiss/impose punishments. Well, like when city mayors’ wives (or other relatives) suddenly discover their business talents and become millionaires.
But as I already said, no one cares about facts and justice and no one will cut the goose that lays the golden eggs (Barcelona is a big brand) and everything will be exactly the same as in the cases of other “too big to fall” criminals like City, PSG, etc.

Atletico Madrid indeed suffered a quite embarrassing defeat. And actually Atletico Madrid also lost the opportunity to widen the point difference they have with Bilbao. In the last match, Bilbao also only got a draw. And if Bilbao is able to win then currently the difference in points between Bilbao and Atletico Madrid will be very thin. This also indicates that Atletico Madrid still cannot feel safe with the 4th ranking position they currently occupy.

It looks like Alavez will survive in the league and they will fight again next season. And conversely, 2 clubs that were able to stay in Laliga last season now have the potential to be relegated. namely Cadiz and Almeria. Almeria may even be certain to be relegated. Meanwhile, Cadiz still has a slim chance of getting out of the relegation zone. But I am sure that Cadiz will also join Almeria in being relegated from Laliga.

I was surprised to see the mentality of the Atletico Madrid players who, after losing in the UCL, lost in La Liga. Maybe their spirits are starting to wane? If they continue to decline, it is possible that Bilbao will move up and down from 4th position in the standings. Because the next match will be very decisive for the two teams who meet at the weekend. Atletico Madrid must rise if they want to remain in the UCL next season and focus on maintaining their current position. Overtaking Girona is not an easy thing, with a difference of 7 points and will continue to create a difference of only one option for Atletico Madrid by strengthening its position in the top 4.

I am curious about the state of Arda Guler, Anceloti has not given many minutes to him. I'm afraid he'll be the same as Kubo who moved to another team because he didn't get many minutes. Actually I can't wait to see him play, and make a lot of contributions. But in the local media there was a lot of news that he was getting impatient. But Guler's friend at Fenerbace Ozil gave advice to stay patient and keep training. Because Ozil understands that Real Madrid is a team that has quality players, Guler can learn from all his friends at Real Madrid. So Ozil told Guler to be patient.

The problem with Atletico is that they are assured the fourth place despite having one of the worse performances in La Liga during recent times and recent games.They are still recovering from that Champions League elimination and are not focusing like they should on La Liga exactly for the reason that they have assured the qualification again in Champions for next year.I don't think that 3 points difference is a small one so they can risk to lose the chance to take part in Champions next season.

Royal Spanish Football Federation shared a VAR audio where VAR referees say tha they don't have vide from camera angles that would help them to accurately state whether there was a goal or not but today on TikTok I see angles where it shows me that it was 100% goal, without a doubt! Strange.
Javier Tebas Medrano stated that investments in infrastructure and digitalization have driven significant growth in income but La Liga doesn't have enough time and money to invest in Goal-Line technology, that's a shame [Source ¹]

Yes, Real Madrid's squad is better than Barcelona's squad but still, this technology is very important and necessary. Barca has a very tough times but I still think that they aren't strong enough to win games.

Athletico Madrid has experienced a significant decline in performance in recent months. After failing in the UCL, they don't seem to have the enthusiasm to win the match in La Liga, even though their position in fourth place is still threatened because their points with Bilbao are not far apart. But even so, I still believe they can finish in the top four until the end of the season.

However, it must be admitted that this season in La Liga, Diego Simeone has beaten Ancelotti twice, both at home and away. This proves that even though Real Madrid appeared strong this season, they were unable to beat Athletico Madrid. I sometimes wonder about Athletico Madrid, they just want to beat Real Madrid every season, not compete in LaLiga. Because when they meet a strong team like Real Madrid, they perform well, but when facing a weak opponent they are often inconsistent.
