They still can't do anything now 9 attempted kicks just one threat is not something good for Barelona.
Rayo will definitely maintain this with the defense they are putting together now because 1 goal is enough for them to win if they manage to hold on for these 90 minutes.
Xavi has to come up with something new now, they won't be able to score goals like this during the game
Maybe Xavi should walk onto the field by himself and finally score a goal. I don't know what an idea a coach might have at this point, but maybe they should fight for a penalty..  Although with such a terrible effectiveness, there is a high risk that this shot would also be missed.  In the end they couldn't make a goal there even though they did change their tactics to be more attacking, Rayo's defense was still very tight in this match. now Madrid is ready to party it seems with this accepted result  Their gap is too big and madrid only need 1 point for their debauchery, maybe I can congratulate them now  |

Manchester City have a better team collective and in my view also a better coach. But Manchester doesn't have a top striker like Benzema. In fact, de Bruyne is City's star player, but Madrid has Modric in midfield. It could well be that City will go out against Madrid. If you can beat PSG with Madrid, you can beat City. They have not always convinced, not even in the Champions League. The last time it was all difficult against Atletico and Atletico should have won that game, while they played with 10 men.
The same was said about Manchester City last season, and yet they won nothing. This season especially, most recently, Real Madrid has been considered an "underdog" against PSG and then Chelsea but look who went through. The more the so-called better teams think they can beat Real Madrid. The less likely they will go through. Even in the previous few seasons it was like that because even though they never won, they were still superior even though the bitter reality always ended for Man. City I don't think this season the result will be much different, I don't know why even if they won against Madrid but I'm pretty sure they can never win the Champions League. |

Barcelona are having good possession are trying to find an opening, they are close to find an equaliser but they need to find the winner also in next 45 minutes. Honestly the early goal from Vallecano is putting pressure on Barca. Barca needs to be sharp in next half in order to win this match.
This is the problem with Barcelona in recent times; they hold onto possession and do nothing with it, neither do they create enough chances to even score a goal; instead the opponents deprived of the ball, always win or get a drawn; Can we say Xavi tactics has been found out ? Mid table Vallecano will be looking to close out as victors and earn a bragging rights for their supporters. Can Barcelona turn this around ? Theres 45 minutes left to find out They still can't do anything now 9 attempted kicks just one threat is not something good for Barelona. Rayo will definitely maintain this with the defense they are putting together now because 1 goal is enough for them to win if they manage to hold on for these 90 minutes. Xavi has to come up with something new now, they won't be able to score goals like this during the game |

West Ham were unlucky today. Chelsea were able to show they were all right... Now West Ham and Man U are the main rivals for 6th place in the standings... I don't think Spurs or Arsenal can beat Chelsea, but the Wolves, who lost points today, could join the fight for 6th place...
I don't think it's okay at the moment. Chelsea did manage to win but it took 90 minutes for that, besides that they also have to be grateful for the red card for saying that they can lead in numbers and they can make the most of it. Despite the current victory, their attackers still haven't been able to show their best there |

Maybe Barcelona will be in second place if they don't make mistakes in playing or at least always win in the remaining matches that are still in LaLiga this season, because if they lose again and Sevilla can always win for the rest of the season, then the second position will belong to Sevilla.
~snip~
Of course they are favorites to be in second position. They still have 1 game less. While today they have the same 63 points and that's a 15 point difference from Real Madrid. Sevilla and Barcelona are currently only focused on the League so they are lucky, there will be no excuse for fatigue in the game. I think their target to enter the UCL Zone will remain theirs until the end of the season. After that they have to prepare the team for the next season. In fact, I feel that they can claim 2nd place even though there are still a few matches left now. They are very well seeded in every way although indeed they still have a few more games to do. It is very difficult indeed for Atletico and Sevilla to overtake as long as their performances are still very good. They are superior in their goal productivity and they still have 1 game left of course this is a pretty good advantage for Barcelona |

Here are my picks for games tomorrow highlighted in green are my pick
FC St. Pauli VS Darmsradt
Stake odds for this game are 2.48 for St. Pauli and 3.70 for Draw while 2.60 for Darmstadt, right now Christopher Avevor, Jannes Wieckhoff, Sebastian Ohlsson, and Eric Smith, are injured and can not play for St. Pauli, while Guido Burgstaller, Jackson Irvine, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, and Eric Smith is at risk of getting suspended, and Fabian Schnellhardt is injured and can not play while Braydon Manu, is suspended, and Luca Pfeiffer is at risk of getting suspended, for this gamer because Guido Burgstaller is at risk and St. Pauli got a number of injuries I think Darmsradt will win this so my pick is Darmstadt.
There are 10 minutes left in the game and Darmstadt is ahead by 2-1. If it stays like that and after Bremen's win today, it seems that Schalke, Bremen and Darmstadt are in the top3 and will probably remain there unitl the end of the season, the other teams will have difficulties to get up there. I was surprised that Bremen beat Schalke so clear with 4-1, I hope Schalke will not lose their strength in this stage Well, in the end this didn't change anything on the scoreboard and Indeed Darmstadt are still too good and it looks like they are quite ready for this match even though they were attacked continuously but the goal in the first 10 minutes made them look more confident. Now they are quite comfortable in 3rd place but very bad for St.Pauli now that they are nearing the end of the season being less consistent |

I wonder how Liverpool are going to answer Manchester City's huge victory against Watford today. Manchester City demolished their opponent by 5-1. And they guaranteed keeping the lead for this week also. But Liverpool will need to continue to win not to fall behind more. And their next game is against Everton home tomorrow. Everton are a really desperate team in this season and they are battling for not relegating from the Premier League. But they wouldn't stand a chance against Liverpool here I think.
Given the shape and form Reds are in right now, Everton should be an easy opponent for them to beat. Also Liverpool are still in title race so puts a pressure onto them but they always perform so good under pressure. Everton have weak defense and should be easy to break in for Liverpool's offense. Should be easy 3 points for Liverpool tomorrow and don't think this gameweek will bring any change in position for top 2. It's not even a big obstacle even though their schedule is quite tight but as you said Liverpool's performance is very good and their players have contributed quite a lot this season. Klopp really manages the club very well and they are quite strong in every way. Everton this season is still quite difficult even though several times changing coaches there but still not too good |

The European football authorities have been complicit in corruption for years and apparently a lot is swept under the carpet. UEFA and world football body hardly investigate cases involving top European countries correctly but when it's Africa and South America they throw their weight into it, investigate and place sanctions or bans swiftly.
It is very difficult indeed because when they say about this, most of the people in power and their top brass are among teams in Europe, so when this is investigated, it is very likely that those who are investigating will be affected differently from America and Africa, which are still quite It's rare and football, apart from being not as famous as in Europe, is indeed the right place to take action and make it look as if they are corrupt people working properly. |

Ten Hag is expected to resume with Man utd as from next season. The same players that went on several weeks winning run under interim manager Ole suddenly went on several weeks losing run under permanent manager Ole. If it had been a different manager that was appointed permanent manager people would have said we should have kept Ole as manager.These players are professional coach killers. If you decide to still be deceived by them you are on your own and if ten Hag decides to stick with most of them as the core of his team then he too will be sack within a short time
Pretty accurate description of ManU situation. I don't think any manager will make them resume winning right now. It is pretty much late for this season to fix anything imo. The new manager should rebuild the team and find out a good strategy for them. That's right, now they can only continue this chaotic team but indeed next season I hope that Ten Hag will make a difference. The first thing to do is change some of the players now because there are so many players who have not contributed well this season even though their prices are quite expensive and this is a shame in my opinion. Ten Hag must make a plan from now on at least players who really deserve to be played, not players who just entertain and become a laughing stock every week |

I don't believe that Roma can have much chance to even draw with Inter tomorrow. Inter are still far stronger than them now. Maybe Roma haven't lost for a long time but this is still not a huge advantage for them in this game. Inter wouldn't care about it much as they are focused on taking the lead from Milan now. I think that Inter are going to show a superb performance and finish their opponent. And they might take the lead by this week already as Milan are having a really difficult game.
Maybe there will be a tie now, although indeed they will definitely focus on defense but if you look at their game last week I think they still have a chance because their long passes on the counter-attack are actually still very good in my opinion and indeed Inter are still have to be aware of this. They played 10 men against Napoli but they could equalize and it is not impossible that in this match they played 11 men and it was a hassle |

Barcelona didn't have a comfortable game against Real Sociedad at all. They had only one shot on target in this whole game. But still they managed to win by 1-0 somehow. Real Sociedad got many more chances in the second half but they were lacking skills to end up even one of them with a goal. And in three days, they are going to play their missing game finally which is going to be against Rayo Vallecano in Camp Nou. I will be expecting nothing different than a victory for Barcelona.
A rather strange conclusion, given that Barcelona have played frankly poorly in recent matches, and even this match won against Real Sociedad is more of an opponent's failure than Barcelona's merit. I think that if the odds offered by the bookmakers are interesting, then it makes sense to bet on Rayo Vallecano. It's natural for fans to want that But agree with what you said they are not what they were before after they were knocked out of the Europa League they are like a different team at the moment. From a tactical point of view maybe Xavi wants to make something new with direct ball applied but it seems this is still not working effectively at the moment. at least their 2nd position will be irreplaceable in my opinion and indeed if you compare it to the start of the season of course it's still quite good |

We admit Benzema is a good player, he is very productive in scoring goals for Madrid. but sometimes he also has to open up opportunities for his teammates to score goals.
The game against City is very close, they have to be prepared. Both teams have a winning mentality. The fight between the two European giants will be of interest to all fans.
hopefully, both teams are in their best squad, both have to fight with full strength. because meeting a strong team always creates drama on the pitch.
The problem is that until now Madrid are still very difficult to find a target other than Benzema. and this is a fact. when Benzema became Ronaldo's partner he was often a supporter and a good assist creator there because Ronaldo could maximize opportunities there but for now he is not really there for that. Vini is playing very well but he is only good at messing up the opponent's formation, Rodrygo and Asensio are still not completely good in my opinion because they are playing erratically We all know Manchester city have been outstanding since bringing in their recent coach Pep Guadiola. to me they are one of the best team in EPL, since bringing in their recent coach the team is known for their brilliant play and quality players. Pep Guadiola on the other hand is one of the best coach in the world since his arrival the team has been spectacular, it's so good to watch them play. Though realmadrid is a unpredicted team, watching them beat PSG and Chelsea frightens me they are the best team when it comes to champions league. Merely looking at the game, I think Manchester city is the favorite team to win the game, cause this is another chance for them to win the champions league. even though Pep is really good City are also a big team and still a strong candidate there but it's just like that and only up to that stage nothing more They always win every year and every year they lose and even now I'm pretty sure that's the case. They seem to have a curse when they are in the Champions League because it is very difficult to lift the trophy here even though they are superior lol |

It looks like Leipzig are going to secure themselves in the third position in the near future so I wonder which team will manage to secure the fourth position, Leverkusen or Freiburg? Freiburg have always been a surprising team in this league as they can still be a competitive team despite not having a very great lineup. But I feel like that Leverkusen won't lose their place to Freiburg at the end of the season. They are one of the good teams of this season and they deserve this position too.
Leipzig still has a lot of work to secure that third position but with 2 more wins it will be 100% probobly. Also for that fourth place i see Leverkusen honesly instead of Freiburg. Leverkusen has good players that can make that happen while Freiburg i think not have that quality for that champions league spot With a performance like now I'm even sure they can safely stand in that position. Their opponents who can be said to be difficult are Union Berlin and Freiburg, the rest I don't see any obstacles there. but on the other hand they also have to stay focused because indeed they are also still being overshadowed by Freiburg and Leverkusen now at least they can't be overtaken by these two and secure the Champions League comfortably |

Now no other team in Laliga can stop Real Madrid from winning the title because Real Madrid are already quite a lot of points ahead of their other competitors because I'm sure Real Madrid won't drop many points for the rest of the season.
Barcelona fans still expect Real Madrid to lose some points, then Barcelona can overtake Real Madrid. Although it is very difficult to happen, the fans are still arguing about the chance very open. I don't say it is impossible, surely nothing is impossible but as you said the point gaps are too big right now. And if we look at the current performance of Real Madrid, they look hard to be defeated by any team in La Liga. Moreover, Real Madrid has no many big matches, they should have no big difficulties to collect full points. It seems this will only be wishful thinking now. Madrid only have one win and one draw there to seal their title this season I think it will be very difficult to expect something like this because it will only be a miracle if it happens. Madrid's current performance has been extraordinary this season thanks to their mainstay player, Benzema now. |

If you've been following Chelsea's games, you'll know that Arsenal has been beating them since Jose Mourinho left, and we've lost three FA Cup finals to them in the process. They were in a terrible state when they won the first leg this season, and the same thing happened last season. Chelsea finds it difficult to beat Arsenal, and we always play the worst game against them.
If you look at H2H, they are actually quite balanced even Chelsea are superior in my opinion and indeed it was proven when before the match they were very favored but indeed the expectations for them were so high and Arsenal's performance was extraordinary in that match. This doesn't really matter now in my opinion because it happened and they have to start focusing on the next game |

We are spoiled with quite an extraordinary spectacle. Replying to each other with goals is an entertaining match. It is difficult to predict with the fast game shown by both clubs. 2-2 and it looks like there will still be a lot of goals from these two clubs if the tempo of the game goes like now. I'm sure that if the second half had the same rhythm, it would automatically be difficult to decide who was right. Arsenal also did not want to lose sooner.
What A Match. This is very exciting to watch, the tempo is very fast and the tension is quite hot in this match. Chelsea did not seem to want to let Arsenal lead for long because only a few minutes they always equalized after two goals down. This is a match that is well worth seeing. The first half might end in a draw but I hope the tempo they play doesn't change in the second half |

What happened to Atletico Madrid has entered the last minute but they are still having trouble scoring goals, even though the chances of Atletico Madrid are quite large in this match because they are facing a lower team. The situation is that the two teams continue to attack each other. I hope that at the end point there should be goals that are nested.
It will probably end in a draw now as there really is no sign of them being able to score a goal now. There are many opportunities but none of them can be converted to goals there, is Granada's defense really that strong or have the strikers there lost their instinct to score goals? Throughout the second half I didn't even see their shot at Luis Maximiano. |

Madrid still have to make extraordinary moves if they really want to advance to the final but I also feel confident Madrid will pass Man.city now because the experience against PSG and Chelsea of course will be very valuable in my opinion but on the other hand don't forget City's game because there are lines The middle that was started by KDB was really crazy in my opinion.
They must be aware of the movement of KDB and several other players such as Mahrez who will indeed be very dangerous on the City wing.
After beating PSG in second round of knock out stage now Real Madrid is the most lethal team in Champions League, and they have ability to beat team like Manchester City even it's not easy game for these both teams but still most chances Real Madrid is strong enough for winning this match and advancing into final of this year's. Mostly peoples feeling we will have final between Liverpool vs Real Madrid but still it's too early as Villarreal and Manchester City are still in and have equal chance for qualifying into final after very hectic season now it's time for these teams to have their best achievements is amazing even both Liverpool and Real Madrid are experienced enough and full of energy, but things can change in any favor very quickly. That's right, they have now turned him into a team that has a big chance now thanks to Benzema's slick performance and on fire there coupled with their enormous experience which makes them a strong team now. I will not assume too big now because sometimes surprises always come when we are too sure. Villarreal currently greatly exceeds expectations which makes them also worthy of caution for Liverpool |

Waiting for interesting and big match Manchester City vs Real Madrid. I Think both team can be qualified for final.Both team are strong enough. Manchester and Real Madrid played very well this season.Specially, Real Madrid very lucky in Champion League . What do you think who will qualify for Final?
apart from liverpool, I believe that madrid will qualify for the final even though the chances are small because now we know man city is in very good form. the thing that madrid most often does is surprise the audience with extraordinary actions at the last minute, there have been several matches that have been excited by madrid because they managed to turn things around in the last minute. Madrid still have to make extraordinary moves if they really want to advance to the final but I also feel confident Madrid will pass Man.city now because the experience against PSG and Chelsea of course will be very valuable in my opinion but on the other hand don't forget City's game because there are lines The middle that was started by KDB was really crazy in my opinion. They must be aware of the movement of KDB and several other players such as Mahrez who will indeed be very dangerous on the City wing. |
