So far good cricket from both sides. The Aussies are building good partnerships and then the Indians keep chipping wickets by removing dangerous looking batter.

Australia should fancy their chance of touching or even crossing the 260 mark in the last 12 overs. That should be enough to put pressure on the Indians in the finals.

---------------------------------
Edit

Oh well, 6th wicket down. They are not touching the 260 mark now.

Good work from Indian bowlers and now it seems that Aussies might be able to make 250 in 9 overs that are left for batting. If Indians can restrict Aussies before 250 then they have a bright chance to win the game. Indian bowlers have regularly picked up wickets and doesn't allowed any Aussie batter to settle on the crease. Oliver Peake is well set Aussie batsmen at the moment and he need to stay on the crease if they want to make sure they make 250.

Australia Under 19 team is likely to provide a target of around 250. They are batting well enough. And if they can score 250 runs on this pitch they will have a chance to win.

Australia managed to collect after 44 overs. 207 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. Oliver Peake and Anderson are now batting. Oliver Peake is quite a talented batsman. If he stays at the crease, it will not be difficult for Australia to score 250 runs. However, Australia may not be able to muster up to 250 if they lose the wicket of Peake.

It was quite interesting what Manchester City did earlier and even though it was a late win, the result still made them secure 3 points from Everton. Erling Haaland saved Manchester City with his two goals and it was nice to see him score another winning goal for Manchester City. Kevin De Bruyne seemed to bring a lot of changes when he was introduced in the second half and the results were very satisfying.
Manchester City ranked second position on the EPL table this season. Pep Guardiola is Manchester City's spearhead; he serves as the team's ears and eyes, identifying the club's strengths and shortcomings. It's fantastic to have Erling Haaland back on the scoresheet. This is a significant step for the Norway international in getting back on track to score goals this season. He was sidelined and absent from Manchester City's most important matches, but returning with a brace stops his goal drought and improves his confidence to score more goals in the coming games.
Currently Manchester City is still in second place, but still has a chance to take first place from Liverpool because they still have one match remaining. Manchester City managed to continue the positive trend after winning in their last match, Haaland became the hero of the victory after scoring two goals against Everton.
Haaland became more confident after De Bruyne returned to the squad, his presence could increase his goal-scoring sharpness, his second goal against Everton started from De Bruyne's beautiful assist which was put to good use. Manchester City must always perform optimally to regain the first position that has long been occupied by Liverpool. They must take advantage of the remaining one match that has not been played to get more points than Liverpool have collected.

Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal are the three teams with equal chances of winning the title. But at the moment I think Manchester City are the most deserving.

Haaland and De Bruyne return to the squad. De Bruyne has been performing well in every match. Haaland is also now more confident than ever. He managed to score two goals against Everton. De Bruyne had an assist. If the Haaland-De Bruyne duo is able to play well this season, like the previous season, it will be much more difficult for any team to stop Manchester City. I'm looking forward to watching City vs Liverpool and Arsenal. Manchester City will be able to win this year's title only if they win these two matches.

It is a big day in the Bundesliga.  Smiley  Because this evening Leverkusen are hosting Bayern Munich at BayArena. As I must have said before this is like the most important game on the road going to the league title. For both sides I mean. Leverkusen are in a really advantageous situation considering their placement in the standings now.

Winning this game will make them even improve their advantage a lot by making the gap 5 points. Both teams will target a win here and I hope Leverkusen not to mess things up here. I want to see at least the same performance they showed at Allianz Arena before. Even that would be enough not to lose here.
Both placement and form so far, between them Bayern Leverkusen as we all know are better, take a look at the squad of Bayern Munich and that's not the squad as dangerous as we know them before not even the bench looks dangerous. I honestly doubt them chances of winning the Bundesliga League Competition and also the Champions League with Thomas Tuchel.
Like what'd Eric Dier doing at the heart of that defense? A serious bench warmer for Tottenham Hotspur. Still can't wrap my head around it and what Thomas Tuchel would achieve with this!

Bayern Leverkusen knows what's at stake. They're my most important and favorites to win the League Competition in Bundesliga at the end of the season.

Bayern Munich team is very strong. But with Leverkusen's players performing so well this season, I see no chance of underestimating this team. This team is very strong and is undefeated so far.

Leverkusen managed to draw 2-2 in the away match against Bayern Munich. And Leverkusen beat Munich 2-1 in the last home match. For these reasons, Munich cannot underestimate the Leverkusen team. Both the teams will definitely try to win and grab the top spot in the table. So the match will be very competitive. We are likely to see many goals in this match.

If the favorite teams are separated in two stages in winning the Champions League title, the first stage of the list of favorite teams will be Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich. Atlético Madrid along with Inter Milan Arsenal have some chances in the second leg but I wouldn't consider Barcelona as favorites for the Champions League this season at all. And this season I don't want to put Barcelona in the list of favourites, because with the way they are performing this season, they are unlikely to do well in the Champions League.  
Manchester City had a great performance last season and they beat Inter Milan in the final to win the Champions League trophy for the first time and they have a lot of potential this season too, while Bayern Munich have made the team stronger. So it goes without saying that this season will be a tough competition between Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
Predicting Barcelona to win Champions League is like hoping Manchester United will win treble, it's impossible. Barcelona will either lose during top 16 or top 8 final, there's no chance for them to move further except they're very lucky, just like Inter in the last season.

In this season, there are more strong teams than the last few seasons, but Barcelona isn't included in strong teams.
Undoubtedly, Barcelona and Manchester United are popular clubs but these clubs are currently not among the favorites to win the Champions League trophy. Barcelona has once won the Champions League trophy but that is now a golden past for them as Barcelona have been underperforming in the Champions League for the last few seasons. Barcelona is a very popular club but they don't seem to care about the Champions League. If Barcelona had any interest in the Champions League then of course Barcelona would have prepared to win the Champions League trophy but they did not prepare. 

Last season Inter Milan went to the final against relatively less powerful opponents but they certainly gave Manchester City a tough fight going into the final and Manchester City narrowly won that match. If luck is not on Manchester United's side this season, the chances of Manchester United reaching the finals this season are very low.

I actually do not think there is any big problem with the squad of Bayern Munich. I actually think that the coach is the bigger problem for Bayern Munich. Because if they had a better coach I think they would have been bringing in better results compared to what they are doing right now. They are not doing very badly, to be honest. Actually, it could have been better. And that is one place where I think Manchester City and Real Madrid are better than them. But of course, the way this competition is looking right now if I am not wrong Manchester City and Real Madrid or not going to meet each other in the finals. So I think there is a chance for Bayern Munich.

Whenever we are talking about the French League, there is no doubt that PSG is the team with a lot more power and much better players in this team than all other teams. In fact, PSG has better investors with a richer team they have they are much better than all other teams, I think PSG is the first hope for the title of the French League in any season and this can maybe make the French League a little bit annoying for other people to watch because the first time is clear for anymore and the only goal for PSG is mostly the Champions League.

The very significant difference in quality makes PSG very favorites to become champions and they are even favorites when the season hasn't started yet, this is very boring because there is no meaningful competition for PSG to win the title.
PSG's financial strength, which is quite different from other teams, makes the difference in everything.

However the uncompetitiveness of the French League actually harms PSG on the European stage, this has been proven so far PSG has not been able to win the Champion League title which they target every season.

I actually do not think that anyone cares about the French League. Everybody knows that PSG is going to be the winner of the league unless something incredible happens. The only reason why PSG lost the league title is because of their own fault. Otherwise, there is no other team which can actually successfully beat them. I mean beat them for that title. And PSG cannot do well in the Champions League. So any fan of this League and even the fans of PSG are not satisfied with the quality of football that they watch.

So far it has been quite strange to see Manchester City's game where they have not been able to record even a shot on target and can only maintain ball possession up to 81%. I think this first half was just a warm-up and they knew that Everton probably wouldn't be happy to let Manchester City break into their goal. I also see that Julian Alvrez is currently filling in for Kevin De Bruyne so there is less creativity on the field.

I hope that in the second half Pep Guardiola can bring on Kevin De Bruyne so that Manchester City's game can be more lively and of course Erling Haaland needs his assists so he can score goals. Currently Manchester City can't do much and in the second half they will carry out a total attack. I think a 2-0 win for Manchester City is worth looking forward to in this match.

Manchester City could not play very well against Everton in the first half. Despite having 74% ball possession, they could not score a single goal. Only 6 shots were made by the City players, but not one was on target. I expected a better performance from Manchester City. But we haven't seen a better performance from them in the first half in the home match. Despite dominating the match with 74% ball possession, Manchester City players could not score a single goal.

Everton drew 2-2 with Tottenham in their last match. Everton is playing with the aim of drawing today's match. Their defense is very strong today. Guardiola will definitely need to change his game strategy in the second half. If not, Manchester City will not be able to get 3 points in this match.

In the 27th match of Bangladesh Premier League, Rangpur Riders vs Chittagong Challengers. In today's match, Rangpur Riders won the toss and batted first, giving Chittagong Challenger a target of 212 runs. In today's match, Rangpur Riders has the highest record in Bangladesh Premier League in terms of score. No team has been able to make such a record so far. In this match Rangpur Riders batsmen batted exceptionally well. Such batting of Rangpur Riders team batsmen is really commendable. Now Rangpur Riders will win this match very easily if the bowlers of Rangpur Riders can bowl strong in the second innings game. Now let's wait till the end and see how hard the fight between the two teams goes.

Rangpur Riders team has collected the most in this year's BPL. Every batsman in the squad batted very well. Rangpur team collected 212 runs by losing only 3 wickets. Opener ROny scored 24 runs and Hendricks scored 58 runs. Then Shakib scored 27 runs and Nurul 31 runs. The most important innings was played by James Neesham who was unbeaten with 51 runs from just 26 balls.

I do not see the possibility of defeating Rangpur after giving such a big target. Rangpur's bowling lineup is very strong. Rangpur can win this match by a big margin. Chattogram collected only 24/1 in 5 overs. Chattogram needs to score 188 runs off 90 balls to win. Must collect more than 12 per over.

You are right. Rangpur will win by a big margin today. And Chattogram players are not trying to win this match. They are only trying to reduce the concentration of runs.

At the end of 16 overs, the Chattogram team collected only 108 runs. The team lost only 3 wickets. However, their batting is very slow. Chattogram has no chance to win this match. They have to collect 104 runs in the last 4 overs. Chattogram has to collect 26 runs per over. However, with a win in this match, Rangpur Riders will be able to strengthen their position at the top of the table.

To be honest, i don`t cares about addicts and don`t sure that i must care about gambling addicts. The only situation when i can spend some resources for addicts - is when i see that they ready to change their life. There are lots of people who need help and i prefer to help somebody, who need it but i don`t want to help any kind of addict who made his life awful by himself.
You should care about them bro, you should be your brother's keeper. Even if they didn't tell you, you can still ship in your advice and let them know if they are doing it excessively. It is not hurting to put anyone through, this is also applicable to those who are so difficult. You should only do your bit and leave the rest, and by that, you would have satisfied your conscience in this regard. Gambling is so addictive and if someone is such that is in dire need of money but is not finding it easy elsewhere, gambling is often their next way of trying, but in most cases, it always goes sore for them.

That is why I often preach that no one should be gambling for the whole mindset of money-making, it will never be productive in this case. This is also one way that causes addiction and irresponsible gambling, but if you can try to ship in your advice that will make them shift their focus towards this, I know their mindset will change and will be for the common good of the person and the society at large.
As much as I agree with you bud, the fact still remains that, helping someone who did not ask to be helped, some times or most times doesn't always end well for the person who is helping, this is why for me, I think it's best to look the other way when we see a chronic gambling addict, allow him or her to wallow in that hole he or she dug for him or herself, let them wallow there until they are tired, and when finally, they are tired and calls for help, I believe that will be the best time to step in and help such a person, because by now, the addict will completely understand what you are doing for him or her and appreciate you as supposed.

But when you try to help someone who did not ask for it, they sometimes see you as a disturbance to them, they may even start keeping malice and avoiding you, seeing you as a poke noser who doesn't mind his or her business.

Lol... I couldn't agree at all with this. Gambling addiction is never good for any society. So it is unwise to give privilege to someone to do something bad and wait for when he falls in danger and he ask for help.

When there are 10 gambling addicts in a society, they will must influence 10 other healthy individuals. The right thing to do is to talk to a gambling addict whenever you see him or her, about the downsides of addiction. He needs to understand about responsible gambling. If the person goes to the worst stage and asks for help, then it is not a kind of help, by then it may be too late.

Sri Lanka team and Afghanistan team match match today I am betting in favor of Sri Lanka team. I am worried about which team will win today's match. Sri Lanka team is batting now. 152 runs in 23.4 overs. Sri Lanka team batsman Pathum Nissanka scored 41 runs in 61 balls.  .Avishka Fernando scored 73 runs off 67 balls.Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando two batsmen started batting well.
Sri Lanka team effort in this 1 st game was brilliant in batting lineup and they set 381 runs target which was very big target in 50 overs by losing 3 wickets only. P.Nissanka batsman of Sri Lanka team struggle was very commendable and with not dismissed P.Nissanka scored total 210 runs in 139 balls with twenty 4s and eight 6s. Now the game was overs and P.Nissanka also got a player of game award due batting effort. A.Fernando  also played well and scored 88 runs in 88 balls with eight 4s and three 6s. Afghanistan team effort was also good but target was very big and Afghanistan team failed to chase down this big target and Lost this game by 42 runs. A.Omarzai also got a century and total made 149 runs in 125 balls and M Nabi also played well and he scored 136 runs with fifteen 4s and  three 6s in 130 balls.

Sri Lanka has set a huge target. It is very difficult for any big team to win this target. I have yet to see a match where a team has scored more than 382 runs in the second innings. However, even then Afghanistan players batted very well. Had Afghanistan's top order played well, they might have won. Afghanistan team lost wickets very quickly.
Afghanistan lost 5 of their batsmen to collect only 55 runs. I thought Afghanistan would probably lose by more than 200 in today's match. But due to the responsible batting of Azmatullah Omarzai and Mohammad Nabi, Afghanistan managed to collect 339 runs after 50 overs. Afghanistan was defeated by just 42 runs. Omarzai remained unbeaten with 149 runs.

Australia U19 vs Pakistan U19 semi final is going on. PAKU19 already scored 179-10 where players batting performance weren't well. Arafat Minhas and Azan Awais both have done half century as mentioned contribution. Rest of players came and leaving the field quickly. But Tom Straker have archived 6 wickets which is extra ordinary performance and he makes Australia proud. Australia U19 batting is going on. Opener batsman Harry Dixon(50) have done his half century. And Oliver Peake (49) missed his half century for 1 run only. Bad luck for him today. rest of players gone maybe for targeted run pressure. Australia U19 need 3 runs in 8 balls. So much thrilling here
PakistanU19 team tried hard to win but failed. Because the players of the AustraliaU19 team are very skilled and skilled, that's why the players of the AustraliaU19 team won. I won the bet and was very scared, as the AustraliaU19 team lost nine wickets. The loss of one more wicket was likely to see the AustraliaU19 team lose. Tom Straker has done the best bowling performance, he collected six alone so I can say that this bowling played a major role in the victory of the AustraliaU19 team.
Congratulations Australia under 19s for this hard win because Pakistan Under 19s did not set good target but Australia under 19s team won this game by one wicket anf 5 balls. Australia under 19s team won toss and got a chance for bat or bowl first and Australia under 19s team elected field first. Pakistan under 19s team set 179 runs target in 48.5 overs by losing entire team. In my previous past, I said that if Australia team won this match they T.Starker bowler got a player of game award now this title credited to this player by taking 6 wickets in 9.5 overs with 24 runs. O Peake batsman scored 49 runs in 75 balls with three 4s. H.Dixon also played well and scored 50 runs in 75 balls with five 4s.

Congratulations to the Australia Under 19 team. We had the opportunity to enjoy a very exciting match. If the Pakistan team had given a target of more than 200 runs then maybe Pakistan would have been able to win the match. A collection of 179 runs against a team like Australia was not enough to win. Even so, the match was very competitive.

Australia lost the wicket of Tom Campbell for 146 runs and Oliver Peake for 155 runs. After these two talented batsmen got out I thought Australia was going to lose this match. But due to MacMIllan's innings of 19 runs from 29 balls, the Australian team finally reached the target of victory with the loss of 9 wickets.

We are going to watch the India vs Australia final in the Under 19 World Cup. Indian team is in very good form. Even then I am not sure if India can win against Australia U19. Personally, Australia seems to be my favourite.

You are right. Leverkusen will certainly not want to disappoint their home fans. Xabi Alonso is a very experienced coach. And I believe he will definitely find the right strategy to perform well against Munich.


Although Bayern Munich is a strong team, they have failed to win in their last four matches against Leverkusen. And in the last home match, Leverkusen defeated Bayern Munich 2-1. For these reasons, although Bayern Munich is strong, it cannot be said for sure that Munich will win against Leverkusen. Both teams have chances to win this match. But the match is most likely to be a draw. However, I am not interested in betting on this match. I am looking forward to enjoy a competitive and exciting match.
Experienced?
I don't understand why you say Xabi is an experienced coach? because as far as I know he has only coached three teams so far, namely Real Madrid juniors, Real Sociedad B and Leverkusen, if you say that Xabi is a talented and lucky coach of course I really agree, but if you say he is an experienced coach of course that is too early because he had just started his coaching career.


Talking about the match against Bayern Munich, of course this match will determine the position for the two teams who are currently on the championship track, so far both teams are still in pretty good performance and consistency in each of their matches so you can be sure that the match will be very fierce, to be honest, for this match I will not rely on statistics and head to head as a reference for betting or guessing who the winner will be, because both teams have big ambitions to beat each other and everything could possibly happen in that match.

sorry I made a mistake in my choice of words. I call Xabi veteran because of his excellent match tactics. Actually I mean Xabi is very talented. However, there is no doubt that Xabi's match tactics are excellent. At the same time, Xabi strengthened the bond between Leverkusen's players. Leverkusen team is able to perform so consistently because of the good understanding between the players.

Which team will be the champion this season will depend a lot on this match. There is no doubt that both Bayern Munich and Leverkusen have performed very well this season. However, Bayern Munich are not able to occupy the top spot in the table despite their good performance. Because the Leverkusen team is still undefeated this season. However, I think the team that wins this match will be this year's Bundesliga champion.

We all are eagerly waiting to watch the match between Bayern Munich and Leverkusen. Bayern Munich could not beat Leverkusen in their home match. The match ended in a 2-2 draw. The next match is Leverkusen's home match. Leverkusen will certainly not want to lose at home. It will be very difficult for Bayern Munich to get 3 points in this match.

Leverkusen's main striker Boniface will miss this match due to injury. However, several important players from Bayern Munich's squad such as Manuel Neuer, Konrad Laimer, Coman and Kim Min jae will not be in the squad. So I think the match will be very competitive.
Playing at home, of course Leverkusen doesn't want to disappoint its fans, but still Leverkusen will probably have difficulty beating Munich even though several players in Munich are not included in the squad for the match, the strength of the two is very even and their winning targets are both very high. so they will show their best game and play to the maximum, it is possible that the result will be a draw too, but if Munich will make a mistake, Leverkusen will definitely win even though it is narrow.

But Munich also wants to win and beat Leverkusen because they are fighting for the position at the top of the standings because the two are only two points apart so Munich has the opportunity to overtake Leverkusen at the top of the standings and establish themselves so they can fight for the title again this season, besides that, Xabi Alonso might also apply another strategy learning from the previous meeting maybe he will use tactics that might be able to beat Munich in the next match, my prediction is that both will score goals and it seems difficult to find who will win.

Bayer Leverkusen had a really hard time against Stuttgart, we felt it in the match. They fell behind twice and finally managed to win. They were very happy to score the winning goal in the 90th minute. I would still like to watch a superior game. Not only could they not establish an overwhelming advantage, but they also won the match with difficulty. They continue their leadership in the Bundesliga and continue their way in the cup. Leverkusen is an important team. I hope they can take the championship from Bayern this year.
I love how Leverkusen have the ability to react positively right in the game when they were in losing situation. They showed a strong mentality as a league title contender. While they managed to secure a victory, the match was a challenging one with Leverkusen falling behind twice before ultimately clinching the win with a late goal in the 90th minute. Despite the difficulties faced in the match, Leverkusen's ability to persevere and secure the victory showcases their resilience and determination.

Perhaps they should dominate more convincingly to show a desire for more consistent and dominant performances, but Stuttgart is also a stong team that is not easy to play against. Nonetheless, Leverkusen leading the Bundesliga and progressing in the cup competition highlight their competitive strength and potential for success. It's clear that there's optimism for their prospects, including the possibility of challenging for the championship against perennial contenders like Bayern Munich. The aspiration for Leverkusen to dethrone Bayern and claim the championship is just a hope for majority of football fans.

The way Leverkusen are performing this season is amazing. None of us expected Leverkusen to perform so well this season. And will be able to hold the top spot in the points table for a long time. With the help of Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen have been able to maintain their consistent performance and hold the top spot in the points table for such a long time. Leverkusen is still unbeaten in Europa League and Bundesliga.

Lens was a big exception last year and this year it is Nice, but what is it even that they are doing. They don't lose a lot of games, but they get more and more draws and PSG has an easy time to lead the table and wait for the other teams to make mistakes and allow PSG to extend their lead. It is not as if PSG would feel any pressure from the other teams because they are on a winning streak and PSG has to win their games in order to stay at the top. It doesn't matter if they lose some points from time to time, they will win the title eventually. But maybe next year a couple of things will change once Mbappe is gone. Although they still have the money to replace Mbappe with another good player.
Lens had a perfect performance in the last season and they were racing with PSG until the last week but they couldn't have a good performance anymore in the games we saw from them and they were usually in the middle of the table while a team like Nive is currently in the good form which makes me remember everything about Lens, however, I think in the end even Nice can't reach or get close to PSG.
Saying that a performance was perfect is quite relative because if you take a team that nobody expects to reach the top 3 or the top 4 in a league and then the team reaches the 2nd position, is it a perfect performance? But this is not the standard by which teams should be measured in Ligue 1. The true standard is PSG. If they can compete with PSG and really threaten them to lose the title, then it is a perfect season. But the reality is that PSG could gear up their performance any time and it would be enough to win Ligue 1. It is not like that in the Champions League, but they can win Ligue 1 anytime they want.
There are big differences between squads in League 1. Paris SG has important players and has been the strongest team in League 1 for many years. We cannot see them losing the championship easily. Lille managed to do this once in the past, but I don't think they will have such a threat this year. They will win the league comfortably. I think what will really make them think will be the UCL matches.

The strongest team in Ligue 1 is PSG. And with the help of Luis Enrique, this team is now very strong. Although the team's performance was erratic at the beginning of the season, now their performance is stable. So PSG won't have to face any tough hurdles to win the Ligue 1 title. PSG are now 8 points clear of second-placed Nice in the table.

Luis Enrique will probably now try to do well in the Champions League. However, PSG is slightly weaker than Manchester City, Munich or Madrid. However, Enrique is an experienced coach. My guess is if PSG can keep up this kind of performance and if Mbappe plays well, then we will see PSG in the Champions League semi-finals.

It was a very tense week for Real Madrid and Girona, especially for Girona. Because a defeat will make them further away from Real Madrid who are now in front of them with a distance of 2 points.
For Real Madrid themselves it must be the same, if they lose then Girona will be able to shift them at the top of the table. Real Madrid won at the first meeting with a good score too, when the match took place at Girona headquarters. with capital like that of course it will make the confidence of Real Madrid will be even greater.
But Girona is also not without opportunities, during this season they also played a good game, and until now only Real Madrid can beat them. They will certainly be motivated to avenge their defeat in the first meeting.

Even if Girona wins, Real Madrid will still be able to return to the top of the table. Because anyway, if Giroan wins and even if Girona overtakes Real Madrid but yes, the reality is that the points gap is only one point. Therefore, I think it doesn't matter whether Girona wins or not because yes, in the end Real Madrid will still be a team that has a strong chance of getting the trophy this season. Also, I'm sure if Girona manage to finish in second place it would already be a great achievement for Girona and therefore, targeting the title at this moment I don't think is so appropriate. Because yes, basically Girona also still need time to get stronger to maintain their position at the top of the table and yes, some transfers still need to be made.

I understand that it is very important for Girona to actually win this match and I also understand that if they can win this match they will be able to go ahead to the first position and be the leader of La Liga table.

But the problem is they are facing Real Madrid which is the current leader. And I don't think there is anywhere Real Madrid is losing the match. The worst case scenario for Real Madrid is going to be having only one point from this match. And even then it is going to be okay for Real Madrid. Girona will probably be happy with one point but they definitely cannot afford to lose this match. If they lose this one, they will fall behind a little too much and probably will not be able to climb back up to the first position anytime soon.

Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid match was very competitive. Real Madrid were a strong team and in very good form. Also the match was Madrid's home match. However, the Atletico Madrid players played very well.

Atletico Madrid were very lucky. After 90 minutes they scored in the match. Real Madrid tried hard to win. But they failed to break the defense of Atletico Madrid. However, Madrid managed to retain the top spot in the table as Girona shared the points with Real Sociedad, now everyone is eagerly waiting for the Madrid vs Girona match. Girona's chances of taking the top spot in the table this season will continue to diminish if Girona fail to pick up points in this match.
It's really rare Real Madrid made a blunder during the injury times, we always know they're the ones who actually scoring a goal during the injury times. Atletico Madrid perform very well because the match happen in Real Madrid's home.

The upcoming match Real Madrid vs Girona, it seems to be an easy match for Real Madrid because Girona lost their three key players e.g. Yangel Herrera, Daley Blind and Artem Dovbyk.

You are right. We have rarely seen a Real Madrid side concede a goal in injury time. Usually we see Madrid score in injury time and win the match. Real Madrid players could not dominate against Atletico Madrid in injury time.

Beating Girona will not be easy for Madrid. However, several key players from Girona's squad are out of the squad. Still, this team is very confident. And they are well aware that a defeat against Madrid will leave them with no chance of grabbing the top spot in the table. So Girona players will try their best to perform well in this match. They are very hardworking.

A draw was very fair for both sides, Real Madrid and Atletico had done their best to win this match, but the equal strength of the two teams made the match end in a draw. Girona was very lucky with this result, Real Madrid's loss of two points made the point difference even closer. Real Madrid is still the leader of the standings with a two-point advantage over Girona, Real Madrid still has the opportunity to widen the gap with Girona when the two teams meet next week.
Madrid derbies are always fierce and Atletico were a little lucky in this match because they finally managed to score an equalizing goal in the last minute, yes, a draw was quite fair for both teams.
And in another match, Girona also got a draw so there was no change in the battle for the top of the standings between Real Madrid and Girona and indeed the second match this weekend will be the deciding factor, Real Madrid has a slight advantage because they will play at home but this is a match between two teams top of the La Liga standings, it will definitely be very fierce.

For the life of me, I just can't understand when that starts and doesn't start. I see some questionable offside situations and sometimes they do show it, which is great, it removes all the questions on the minds, but usually five minutes after the situation, like what if that was the wrong call?

Maybe it is not like that in every nation but in UCL that was like that, I watched maybe 20 games this year, and I mean full 90 minutes ones, and in all of them, the semi automated came in like at least 5 minutes later, which means if the ref was wrong, then it would have been too late. And not only that, but it doesn't even come into play each time, sometimes they just don't show it at all, which makes absolutely no sense to me at all.

Yes we are still witnessing that kind of ambiguous situations as well. Just why would you be so sure of your decision and not even leave it to VAR review?

There have been so many examples in many matches since this technology has started to be used.  Sad  If there is a huge level of objection by the players to a certain incident then referees shouldn't just be obstinate. I remember quite many incidents turning out to be wrongly evaluated by referees just because of not watching them. Technology isn't their enemy, they should use it more often to make the doubts disappear.

Well of course they are not going to take the help of technology if they are getting paid by one of the teams to make sure that the decisions go their way. And we all know that it is not some alien idea. It has been done previously. Even by a lot of litigious clubs.

Clubs like Barcelona has been paying a lot of money to the referees previously to make sure that the results go their way. The thing is Barcelona was very good back then. And the technology was not so advanced. So in the end, we just said that it was "human error" and moved on with our lives. But now we all know that has been happening. And don't get me wrong. I am just using Barcelona as an example. There are other clubs which have done the same thing.
