Yes, right. Of course, this is the most crucial match for Atletico Madrid, how could it not be because their position is currently in fourth place, of course this is not safe for them because they are still under serious pressure from Athletic Bilbao who are in fifth place. So the match against Girona is very important for Atletico Madrid to secure the UCL zone next season.

Currently Atletico Madrid is only two points ahead of Bilbao, and Atletico Madrid is also seven points behind Girona. However, Atletico Madrid still has hope of being able to catch up with Girona or overtake Girona if they are able to win against Girona in the 31st week of Laliga. Moreover, Atletico Madrid has just won 2-1 over Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of the UCL quarter-finals, of course this will be a big motivation to be able to beat Girona.

Whenever we talk about Girona, I am one of the most saddest person because the way I have seen Girona started in this season, to the middle of the season, towards the till end of the season, I was expecting much from them. And in fact, I was very happy and glad that they were pulling out the efforts that they were making. Also, I really celebrated the president of the club because he has done well to manage both Girona and Manchester City to the top of their respective leagues.

So, I became unhappy when Girona lost that consistency they had. And up to now, they've not really been able to regain it. But one thing one can still be happy or should be happy about is the fact that Girona is going for Champions League next season and that will poise them with a lot of opportunity to even do better than they are already doing.

The problem is the current condition which is sure to be very tired for Atletico after they managed to win against Doetmund then surely apart from this mentality it also requires great stamina which makes rest for a few days sometimes it is not enough which makes this match a little difficult for Atletico.

But they also have an advantage in this match because they see from what happened where Girona's performance in the last few matches did not go well and of course when playing at the Metropolitano, this should be a good encouragement for Atletico, who could have given a positive result as well as revenge in their first meeting which belonged to Girona.
Quite interesting actually this match because after all this is a match that could determine the top 4 positions for Atletico at the end of this season considering their position is still not too safe at this time.

Barcelona seems to be have improved greatly especially with their champions league games because the performance i saw with them against PSG was really a brilliant and an interesting one, they have a very good coordination and form on the pitch which makes their every moves brilliant, especially in the first half, they literally seem to have had more of the possession and dominance in the first half than they did in the second.

I wouldn't want to undermine PSG but i support your idea in the fact that they are not real looking like they will be able to get ahead of Barcelona because they don't have the form a d the strength and then their abilities really look weak in that they look very dependent on some of their key players of which their absence will mean a whole lot to the team and may aswell cost them the game but then with Barcelona it appears the case is really different as they are giving their best and still been able to maintain a good performance too in their domestic league.

I watch yamal play yesterday and i just knew that that guy was going to be a huge asset for Barcelona if they are able to still maintain the grooming till he's able to become more of a threat to other teams both in the champions league probably in their next season or probably in their domestic league too aswell, combining him with Felix has to be one of the best tactical combination in Barcelona for the season and I'm sure they always see results from such.

I have seen an inconsistent team turn up good in some matches you least expected. Simce Barcelona points is not that far from them, their next match could be a motivation to get pass Barcelona, nothing is impossible because remember Barcelona has loss important match when the had the chance for the first time to over take Girona in the second place around 20th matches but luckily for them, Girona repeated the same mistake before Barcelona took the chance to stay ahead. Girona don't deserve where they are staying, they need to brace up to come higher but I know that Real Madrid is a mission impossible, 10 points is not a joke not when the league is coming to an end.

Being in the top four in LA Liga is very important for Atletico Madrid, and at the same time, winning their game against Dortmund in the Champions League is also important, but what will still be considered is that even if Atletico Madrid have those changes to win Dortmund in the second leg again, what we still need to consider is how they can still get the chance to be in the next Champions League season because I don't think they can go further from the semifinals, but still, they will put in more effort to play against Girona, which might be very hard for them to get a win, but seeing they are going on a home game, I will still say that they can make it or have a win so that that can give the point gap to Bilbao, which will bring peace of mind to them.

I no longer have much hope for Barcelona in the rest of the season, that's because Real Madrid has an 8 point gap over Barcelona with 8 games remaining. There is still hope, of course, but this hope is very far from reality considering that Real Madrid has been very consistent in winning every match so far.

There is one exception, if Real Madrid drops 6 points in the next 4 games, then I might change my view on Barcelona's chances of winning the title. However, if Real Madrid is able to win the next 4/4 matches, then Barcelona should have given up hope of the title.

Compared to other teams that are currently both in the UCL. Maybe it is true that Real Madrid can be said to have a more comfortable position at the top of the standings. But I hope they don't let their guard down for the rest of the season in Laliga. Because there are still 8 matches left in this season. And I see that Barcelona, ​​which is currently ranked 2nd, is starting to show the quality of their game again. At least Real Madrid must not lose more than twice in the remaining season in Laliga if they want to secure the Laliga trophy this season. Because if Real Madrid loses more than twice in the remainder of this season then the opportunity for Barcelona to catch up on points will still be wide open. But I believe Real Madrid will be able to maintain their current position at the top of the standings well.

And yes, after Real Madrid failed to win in the first leg, of course they will now be in difficulty in preparing to compete at Manchester City headquarters in the second leg. And this certainly reminds them of a result similar to what happened last season. When Real Madrid was held to a draw at home and then suffered a heavy defeat at Manchester City headquarters. But I hope this time there will be something different.

Girona this season has a pretty good journey in the league and even we did not expect them to be among the 4 big teams that have been dominating La Liga, so far Girona's inconsistent performance has made them start to be down and giving second place for Barcelona, if you look at the next match of course it is difficult for Girona to be able to reclaim second place from Barcelona's hands,  But I think it won't be impossible if Girona is able to return to playing like the start of the La Liga season 2024.

Let's say girona lost against atletico in that game, but isn't it that barcelona will also have a difficult match against madrid later and it is not impossible that barcelona will also lose three points in the el classico match and make the difference in points between Barcelona and Girona remains two points , so i think girona' have chances to regain second place in the la liga standings  when girona face barcelona in week 34,  I think week 34 is a decisive game for both teams to end the season second and it will be difficult for us to predict the final result.

Currently, Real Madrid's position is more comfortable, but the 8 point difference with Barcelona still seems like a threat to me because there are still 8 matches remaining and if Real Madrid makes a mistake, Barcelona will definitely be closer to Real Madrid and right now, for me, Real Madrid is no longer there. like before and very different this season looks not so strong while Barcelona could surprise Real Madrid.

The mistake that Real Madrid made in the CL was simply not being able to resist ending without a draw and in the end they only split the score and got the hard work when playing away against Manchester City.

It seems that this week, Girona's position will not change much. will stay in 3rd position. Their current opponent is quite tough, namely Atletico Madrid. Although previously, Girona was able to beat Atletico Madrid, but currently, the conditions are quite different. Atletico Madrid is in a quite favorable position and their motivation is increasing quite significantly. Because in the UCL, Atletico Madrid itself can also beat Dortmund in their first leg. This will definitely provide quite good motivation for their future performance in La Liga. So, Girona must be more alert this time, who knows what the results will be, but they must be more alert and do more struggles.

In La Liga, Real Madrid is currently calmer and doesn't have such a heavy burden anymore, moreover, their main opponent Barcelona is also below them, even with a fairly large point gap from Real Madrid. So if Real Madrid continues to be significant enough to win, then Barcelona will no longer have a chance to take over.

The only thing that is currently on Real Madrid's heavy mind is their match in the UCL. because the results of their match in the first leg were a draw against Man City, even when they were playing at home. So, this is one of the things that has become quite a heavy burden for Real Madrid this season.

Why not, Barcelona and Real Madrid are two teams that have beaten each other in various competitions, so it is always possible for both to win, draw or lose when they meet. I know Real Madrid has a better squad than Barcelona, ​​but that doesn't mean Barcelona doesn't have a chance to beat Real Madrid.

So far Barcelona has shown improvement in terms of performance. Barcelona is unbeaten in 12 consecutive matches in two different competitions at the moment, that includes 3 Champions League matches and 9 La Liga matches. I don't know why you say Barcelona can't win against Real Madrid, but I'm sure you definitely don't want to see Real Madrid lose.

Manchester City even dominated ball possession with 62%, even though the match was held at Santiago Bernabou. I tried to imagine when Real Madrid visited the Etihad Stadium. It could be that City really dominates the match in the second leg. Therefore, it will really be homework for Ancelotti to get around his team's squad when they compete at the Etihad later. Barcelona had a successful match at the Parc des Princess, they are just waiting for PSG to visit Camp Nou.

For La Liga, it seems that Barcelona will have difficulty competing with Real Madrid. ideally, Barcelona only plays its matches to maintain its ranking so that it remains on the right track and gets a ticket to the Champions League. As for the El Clasico match, I think Barca has a chance to win the match. Moreover, now De Jong and Pedri have returned to the main squad. at least, Xavi has new energy in midfield. In the El Clasico match, it can be an interesting and exciting match.

Indeed Real Madrid doesn't have much tough opponents to face but Barcelona is in an impressive form this period which will make El the very interesting and considering how Barcelona performed in the champions league will send a signal that they may really be up to something surprising in their remaining games before the season ends

Real Madrid for now will be more focused and interested on winning Manchester city in their returning leg in the champions league quarter finals so they may not take their match against Barcelona seriously and they might even decide to reserve some players for the champions league game, from the angle of Barcelona, they are on a very good advantage after winning PSG so they will be more relaxed when they meet at Camp Nou so they will be so interested in their El classico with Real Madrid because they know that they will reduce the gap between them and Real Madrid if they win the El classico.

I don't think they will be able to get past Barcelona. Even though they only have a 2 point gap, Girona must face Atletico Madrid in the next match. With their inconsistent performance I think they will find it difficult to win. Actually, I really liked Girona at the start of the season because they were the underdogs but were surprisingly able to finish in first place. I even hope they will become a new face in La Liga. But I think rationally that would be impossible because it is difficult for mediocre teams to maintain consistency in their play until the end of the season.

Yeah you are right because even if Barcelona seem to have peak form lately doesn't mean they have a chance against real Madrid because so long as this season is concerned real Madrid has built a quite good reputation in terms of performance however they have even meet Barcelona on this season and won them, so even if they meet three times real Madrid will always win them.

However in terms of Manchester City they have proving to be on equal performance with real Madrid on the champions League race because there last match has said it all, so actually my question now is that if real Madrid are not good enough in terms of performance to win Manchester City on there home is it when they come back to the home of Manchester City they will win?, actually with the way I'm looking at that match if real Madrid is not careful enough they will not like the outcome of the match because Manchester City will never accommodate any mistake on that match.

Almeria and Granada will no longer be in La Liga next season, they really failed this season. Meanwhile, Cadiz still has a chance to survive relegation, but as you said, that is not an easy thing for them to do, because they still have to compete with Celta Vigo who are 3 points above them. Now they need continuous wins and they have to see Celta Vigo drop points.

However, the problem is that the opponents that Cadiz will face will not be easy, 3 of the matches they will still have to play are against teams that are in positions 1, 2 and 3 in the standings. Yes, they will still meet Barcelona, Girona and Real Madrid. With their opponents like that, their chances of winning are very slim. I don't think they will be that lucky to win those 3 games. However, Celta Vigo will still meet a strong team like Atletico Madrid. I think Celta Vigo will probably survive, but we'll see until the end of the season.

The only team that still has a chance to get out of the relegation zone is Cadiz but even so, it is still not easy for Cadiz to overtake Celta Vigo despite only having a three-point gap. Therefore, it is clear that Granada and Almeria really have no chance of being able to save their position in the relegation zone, and will certainly be relegated at the end of this season because of the wide gap in points. But yes, Granada is only a promotion team this season but unfortunately, even though Granada is a title-winning team in LaLiga2 in the 2022/2023 season but anyway, the reality is that Granada this season will be relegated again and will return to playing in LaLiga2 next season.

Atletico Madrid only has three days to recover after the Champions League match against Dortmund and this week they will face Girona, its very important match for securing top fourth standings and get ticket for participating in champion league next season. Atletico Madrid gap two points from Athletic Bilbao in this week will face Villareal and has chance back to fourth place if can take three points and other match Girona success  defeating Atletico Madrid. Get dilemma for Atletico Madrid manager, will make rotation in la liga match and save the players for facing Dortmund in champion league match because lead 2-1 still not secure yet.

This week, Atletico Madrid and some La Liga teams played in Champion League have difficult match schedule, get few days left after playing in la liga match this week has second leg match and only Barcelona get opportunity because will face PSG on the home match difference with Madrid and Atletico have away match.

Granada and Almeria seem to be these two teams will definitely be relegated this season. They only collected 14 and 13 points. Their gap with number 17 is 14-15 points. Hoping they can win at the end of the rest of the game seems to be difficult. It seems that Leganes and Eibar are ready to replace Granada and Almeria, Leganes and Eibar ranked 1st and 2nd by 4 points.
