Levante - Barcelona tonight. A walk in the park for Barca. Levante's stadium used to be a tough pitch to play at for Barcelona (2W-3L in their last 5 meetings in valencia), but nowadays Levante are in relegation kind of form, haven't won a game in over a month and only 1W in their last 9 home games. Easy 3 points and top of the league for Koeman & Co today.

And then Levante takes 2 points away from Barca after losing 0:2 on half time and 2:3 in the late stages of the game. This should be it for Barca title aspirations. I'll be really surprised if Madrid clubs give them another opportunity to catch up.

yeah, pretty unbelievable to see, did not watch till the end, leaved on half-time, and it is quite a say that I was surprised with final score in the end
maybe Atletico will lose some points in the process, but clearly doubt that Real will do as well, so it is probably a title farewell for Barca this season, IMO, they did not deserved it after all

did anyone watched Osasuna and Calvo miss on that match, cannot find on youtube to put it here, but it certainly worth to see what can be missed (if he was in Real/Barca, youtube would be viral with this one), and they rise after that to win the match, completely opposite to Barca that let go two goals advantage

Goodbye to La Liga title. Another opportunity wasted. Levante is fighting for nothing, they won just once in last 7 games, but we still can't beat them, even after leading 2:0. I have no words.
Now we need gifts from Real and Atletico, but c'mon, how many gifts we can get. If we can't beat teams like Granada or Levante in decisive games, I think we simply don't deserve title.

No comments on the penalty? I was quite sure some Real supporter will have something to say about it

i started ranting in some other forums and platforms Grin

Fun fact about pens and RM: this season Real Madrid have gone 25 matchweeks without getting a penalty. Last pen we got was against barca at the camp nou last year...so, no pens for Real is pretty much the norm right now, but hey, we're the ones buying the refs and getting all the calls in our favor, amirite? :-P

So, after this round status quo in league table remains and nothing hasn't benn answered yet. Hazard foot in right place on the right time let Real Madrdi to take 1 point from Sevilla.
Real have remaining games with Granada, Athletic and Villarreal
Atletico will play against Real Sociedad, Osasuna and Valladolid
Barca vs Levante, Celta and Eibar.
Real have most difficult remaining schedule, Barca easiest one. But in final rounds teams which fight for spot in league next season is very dangerous too, so everything still can happen.
Only Sevilla is out of title race, they needed win tonight. 6 points behind with 3 rounds remaining - they would need to get many gifts from top 3 teams in last rounds.

Mathematically, nobody is out but yeah, Sevilla was the biggest loser last night, especially after taking the lead twice. They probably thought they won the game already when regular time ran out but as we all know the fat lady usually likes to sing many minutes into injury time:)

On paper, as you say, Barca my team has the easiest time but I will not discount the form of every other team fighting for every point. What an exciting time for us!

i was fuming last night but we gotta move on, title race's not over, barca and ateltico are looking shaky and anything can happen

I was very happy indeed since I was waiting on Sevilla x2 to cash my multi ticket. I thought my ticket is busted when Real counter attack ended with penalty but then VAR to the rescue... Penalty for Sevilla instead for Real...You don't see that every day.

Later today: Betis - Granada. I suppose everyone's expecting the home side to take the 3 pts? i'll add them to a single bet https://i.ibb.co/5krMmnK/betis.png moneyline at 1.85 seems good for a team unbeaten in their last 7 games, although 6 of those were draws :/

I'm a Barca supporter so of course I predict a win all the time in case nobody noticed:P

And okay I get what you guys are saying about Atletico and it is not like I enjoy their style also but I just think they deserve it more than us this season (until the last 10 games when we really improved).

Maybe I say this because Suarez is there:)

Difficult game as expected, but in the end only team which are happy about result is Real. From Barca players behaviour it didn't looked like they are playing most important game of season. In first half Atletico were better, in second half Barca improved their game a bit, but it wasn't enough to score and win game.
After this game, that loss against Granada is still in my eyes. If we won't win league this season, that game will stuck in my memory for long.

Quote from: tomahawk9 on May 08, 2021, 12:06:53 PM

anyway, i'm surprised that almost everyone predicted a Barca win in our pool, no faith in atletico...man, all of you guys are Barca fans lol just say it 😂

Yeah, I was also surprised to see that there is no faith in Atletico here, Well, I'm Barca fan really, so I can't act different than I did Cheesy

. But after all, we got just 1 point from 12 possible playing against Real and Atletico this season. It would be something amazing if we will win league with such result.

P.S. It's my 8000th post here on Bitcointalk, but it's not most fun way to reach such achievement :/

my single ticket 'Over 9.5 corners' hit pretty easily https://i.ibb.co/x1mVpSy/cornerwin.png the +0.5 ahc for atletico prematch was tempting, i even said earlier today that Barca chokes against big teams at home this season (0 wins), but i hesitated and didn't pull the trigger, should've gone with half a unit at last :/

Did not realize Barca is that bad at home vs. top teams this season. You could have shared that info before the match Wink

Went ok for me, I only had 1x on Barca in one local bookie where I need to play 6 games multi for big boost so I needed a sure 6th game. 5 games are in the bag still waiting for Ruud this evening.

I put Sevilla supporter next to my name for this season but truth be told I just want to watch top football and usually I lean a bit more to Barca side then to Real but that is mostly because Mourinho ruined Real for me.

The draw benefits Real the most so we can expect them to take full advantage.

the reason why Real are still behind the league leaders in the table even though they've been dropping points left and right in the second half of the season is because we've also wasted tons of chances to capitalize on the other two pooping the bed, so getting the 3 pts tomorrow? hopefully, but i wouldn't hold my breath (i'm prolly being pessimistic cos of the game vs. chelsea the other day)

That said, I did bet on Atletico today for the value... The draw benefits Real the most so we can expect them to take full advantage. Wasted chance for both teams today. Bleh.

although the match finished without goals, there were a lot of football and chances today
actually, I did not put anything on Atletico today, and even put Barca win in the pool, but would not mind to see Atletico on the top, now that Sevilla is out from the race
Real can use this draw tomorrow, and I am pretty sure they will do just that and climb to the top, we have interesting week in front of us, with three rounds within it, and than the final matchday in 14 days, now that Sevilla is out, I do not have preference for the champion, so it will nice to watch

just hoping that Valencia will took two-three points in these four matches, to secure themselves from relegation, tough times (a year) that started in Bergamo quarter-final last March, just before Covid, hopefully next season will be better

Sorry slaman but I'm kind of with Trofo here. Don't get me wrong, the league doesn't lie in the end, but Real and Barca have been such pale versions of themselves that others have somehow managed to top them but the cream always rises to the top.

And the way they keep playing, totally unsustainable, and psychologically just negative that you get frustrated watching them.

I was really hoping Real would go to UCL final but I guess now we have a really hot competition in La Liga with all teams nothing left to fight for:) Tonight's game won't have any impact on us but I'm already feeling a lot of chills for the crunch match with Atletico.

My heart is torn. I want us to win. But I also feel Atletico deserve La Liga AND don't want Real to win!

Atletico deserves nothing, I wouldn't mind seeing them relegated

I watched a couple of their games and I simply can't stand them. How can you play total defense against teams like Elche and huesca? I don't mind them defending against Barca and Real but they should try and play against every other team in the league. I am usually for underdogs but Atletico is the definition of anti football for me.

I am sorry Sevilla missed a step in title race, but I hope they will still be good against Real. This week could be the one to break the title race. Don't forget to make you picks guys. First game starts in just a couple of hours.

Phew guys. I thought it was going to be all over when we let in that goal, if buwaytress had said it maybe we would lose again but thanks god Messi was so determined last night (and of course so was Griezmann).

3-2 is typically to describe our situation these days. Totally no control.

Very difficult, nervous, but such important win. Honestly, after 1st half I thought that our title race come to the end. These feelings become even stronger after Paulista goal.
But then Barca wake up. Now I just don't understand what I thought when I made under 3.5 goals bet on this game. When you look at H2H results, it doesn't happens that often.
Next round can be decisive in league. Barca will face Atletico, while Real will play against Sevilla. Lot of questions may be answered there, already can't wait for next weekend.

Next week should be the one to clear some stuff up. I am expecting Barca to win against Atletico, than Sevilla should get at least a draw against tired Real side. Real has CL game during the week and that could very easy go to extra time. If I was placing a bet on the La Liga winner my money would still be on Barca. They have ok form, no distractions and easy schedule after this encounter with Atletico.

You're right though about Barca, I knew from early on we wouldn't win La Liga or anything. I hoped we would focus on UCL and build squads up instead but it ends up we are now still in the title race (but no longer in our hands because if Real wins everything they win.

actually, the only team that would win the title for sure, with all wins till the end, is Atletico
Real has to hope for Atletico draw or lose in Barcelona, to be able to win the title

we had some good matches with Barca at home, but tonight we are miserable on our own stadium, cannot pass through into Barca half, it is really sorrow to watch Valencia tonight on Mestalla, hoped for Real experience (4:1 from November 2020) from the first part of the season, but Barca would win easily tonight in the end
