I haven't seen any credible news yet about Mbappe joining Real Madrid next season

The latest news regarding the status of mbappe to Real Madrid could fail , reportedly he is willing to extend the contract with 3 conditions
If PSG are able to fulfill this request then Madrid will have to find a new target. Is Haaland one of Madrid's targets?
I'm not sure Madrid can buy Haaland this season because they don't have enough money.

There are around two hours left for the Valencia - Athletic Bilbao rematch in the Copa del Rey. As you can remember easily, the first leg of the draw ended in a draw by 1-1. And Valencia might seem one step ahead as they are going to play a home game. But neither bookmakers nor I'm thinking that Valencia are the closest team to advance to the final round. Athletic Bilbao are still the favourite team to do so for me. And they can do this in 90 minutes too but they will need to play very effective.

[logfiles]

Let's say Sevilla has problems, but don't Barcelona have them? I don't think that after a few successful matches we can say that Barcelona is back and will now beat everyone. At the moment, it will be a meeting of the 2nd place (with a large margin of safety) and the third. According to all analytics, it can be assumed that the favorite is the one who takes second place.

It's not just a few successful matches. We have to admit that Barcelona have greatly improved if you have been watching their recent matches as compared to those at the beginning of the season. Seville on the other side haven't been that good.

Let's be honest. Compare Seville's recent form to Barcelona's. Whom do you think has a higher chance of winning the match?

We will see two teams close to each other in La Liga come face to face in Copa Del Rey.  The first match ended 1-1 and the probability of a draw is high in this match.  At the end of the penalty kicks, the winner of the match can be revealed.  Bilbao is my favourite.  Although Valencia plays at home, Bilbao's game looks better.  The match will start soon and we will see what happens together.

Seville 
Even on this successful segment for Barcelona that you showed and the “unsuccessful” one for Sevilla, it is clear that the teams play about the same. But for Barcelona, this segment is a rise, and for Seville, a fall. What happens if everything returns to "normal"? I think the advantage of Sevilla will be obvious.

Real Betis did quite good so far this season but its rivals aren't that easy. Barca recovered a lot since Xavi joined them and will most likely take Betis position. ATM is fluctuating and might end up in EL spot.
I think Real Madrid, Sevilla, Barcelona will finish in this order. 4th place between ATM and Betis. Villarreal might grab EL or conference league spot.

Barcelona has high hopes for this position, which in the future they will always show a surprising performance. Xavi overhauled the game and brought tiki-taka back into the El Clasico squad. As expected, Barcelona also has a fairly formidable obstacle, which is to be able to conquer the position held by Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Sevilla is more precisely looking for a safe game and will not disturb the competition between Barcelona and Madrid.

There is only 1 point difference between them and Atlético Madrid. Betis have to beat them with their home advantage. If they lose points to Atlético Madrid, they could find themselves in the bottom of the league. A qualifying battle has begun between Barcelona, ​​Atletico and Betis. I think Barcelona will win.

The probability of Barcelona winning against Elche is more than 70% in my opinion, while a draw is 15% and Elche wins 15%. Of course probability won't guarantee anything about the outcome, but I'm very sure Barcelona can win that match.

So far Adama, Aubameyang and in good form and these two players quite often contribute to the creation of goals for Barcelona. Adama has collected 2 assists in 4 appearances while Aubameyang has scored 4 goals in 4 appearances. In addition, Dembele is also getting better where in his last match he scored his first goal of the season for Barcelona. He has also collect 5 assists for Barcelona this season in La Liga in 9 appearances. Barcelona's current good form will be the reason why they can win the match vs Elche easily this week.

[tygeade]

I think it's a very unethical comparison between Pep Guardiola and Xavi Hernandez, in the Guardiola era Barcelona's condition was not as bad as it is today where they have to cut player salaries to be able to register new players, plus the player transfer market which is relatively no luxury signings compared to Pep Guardiola's era. able to bring Ibrahimovic to Henry. But so far Xavi has given his best for Barcelona despite having to be eliminated from the Champions League event early.

I wouldn't say "unethical", I would say unfair, but unethical is something else. It means doing something outside of ethics, and you could compare any two person without going into ethical deal of the situation. Unfair however is the right word because Pep took a team of superstars, the roster Barcelona had those years were already awesome and he left as soon as he realized that his players were getting older and he needed something better. Bayern and then City and now he is happy all over again.

Xavi on the other hand took over after a team that sucked so badly that they had to fire their manager. Give him some time and he could turn Barcelona around in a few years and make them awesome again fighting for a UCL title.

Thanks to Atletico Madrid's decent form for two weeks, they are being favoured by bookmakers in the Betis match next week. The match is an away one for Atletico Madrid and it is in four days. Betis are still one point ahead of them in the standings currently. In their last head-to-head, Atletico Madrid destroyed Betis in Wanda Metropolitano by 3-0. This time, we could have a very competitive match because Betis are in a far better condition compared to those times. Betis would like to win this match after losing to Sevilla. But I think that we will see a draw.

Now currently 26 rounds already end, and we are heading for 27th round with this currently two teams are having very good lead from their opponents Real Madrid and Sevilla most chances these teams will remain on their spots but for remaining spots now we have very tough matches few weeks back there were no hopes for Barcelona to achieve this, but now they are very strong for having third spot and with this Betis is also losing grip, and they are going out from top ranks like Real Sociedad it means we will watch Atlético Madrid at remaining spot even their form was also not good, but they are covering on good time, and they can achieve their task specially after having very bad result against Manchester United in Champions League first league match, so it must for them to stay at top four for next season.

The second leg of the Athletic Bilbao - Valencia draw has started. I think that Athletic Bilbao are going to be the team that are advancing to the final round of the Copa del Rey. And they will wait for their opponent. And their opponent is very likely to be Betis. Their rematch is tomorrow night and Betis won the first match by 2-1. Betis would finish their work in their game home. And the final match would be really interesting between these teams. They both are durable teams and would compete with each other very well.

But for Barcelona, this segment is a rise, and for Seville, a fall. What happens if everything returns to "normal"? I think the advantage of Sevilla will be obvious.

I just provided the most recent segment, so you compare how they have been performing as compared to Seville. You are free to check the previous ones and see how well Seville was performing while Barcelona was being battered left and right. Their defense was horrible, their strike force was firing blanks, but that has since changed.

I hate to be the one defending Barça here, especially given I don't support them, but I am realistic. I give credit where due. The truth is that at the present, Barcelona is performing better than It was and Seville wouldn't stand a chance.

Real sociedad team is ahead 1 0 after 60 minutes they are playing against mallorca and they seem in control of the game they did well in the first half they had many chances and they scored a goal in the 35 minute mallorca team is showing poor performance i dont think they will score in this game and if sociedad manage to win today, this important win will help them get the sixsth position.

Right now real sociedad are temporarily in superiority with the score 0-2, today match seems to give real sociedad the easy upper hand during the game, and now match it has entered the 78th minute but real sociedad looks quite comfortable in controlling the match, even if you look at mallorca game today it looks like they don't have a chance to equalize let alone beat real sociedad, although playing at home mallorca look more depressed and they haven't been able to create a single chance so far which has really endangered the real sociedad goal.

Sociedad is a much stronger team than their opponent today, so its not a big surprise that they are 0-2 up. If you take an overall look at the competition, they lost a lot of points in the middle stage of the competition. If they play well, this is a team that can also easily finish top 4, but this season it seems not their season. I am still curious how Barcelona will perform the last 10+ matches. Ok, in theory they still can become champion, and I have no doubt that they are going to win a lot of matches. If Barcelona would catch up Sevilla, that would already be a miracle if you consider the gap between them before Christmas.

You looks was wrong exactly until 4th minutes because Valencia success lead right now although with still one goal made by Guedes on 43th minutes, Although looks Athletic Bilbao dominance on ball possession but less attempt created with zero shot on goal so far depending with Valencia have been success made two shot on goals. I thin still have 40 minutes later for Athletic Bilbao to change match result but I don't see looks easy because Valencia have advantage playing as home on Mestalla Stadium. But lest waiting until final whistle which one team success lead to next stage on Copa del Rey.

I don't know if this has been reported here before but according to ESPN, Barcelona want to launch their own cryptocurrency to help them fight the current financial woes.

Barcelona want to create their own cryptocurrency to help them "survive financially" against clubs owned by big corporations and foreign investors, president Joan Laporta has said.

Speaking at the Mobile World Congress in the Catalan city this week, Laporta said Barca will launch a range of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) in the near future and are also working on entering the cryptocurrency market

Why must countries and clubs first have to go through Financial difficulties or wars in order to realize that Cryptocurrencies are actually a good thing?

 Technically speaking Barcelona could be 48 points by now if win that extra game. Meaning there would be 6 points difference. It is not really just about the game against each other neither. While both teams will face each other, they will also face Real Madrid as well. Getting even a single point from that would be crucial, on the other hand Barcelona already played against ATM and Bilbao as far as I know, whereas Sevilla still neds to play against them. Meaning we are looking at 6 potential dangerous points there as well. Barcelona seems to have a better chance if you ask me, but it is not a clear chance, it could be a very risky one.

The match was a bit boring not much effort from both teams just look at the stats too many shots off target 13:13 really bad finishing
Real Sociedad still too strong for Mallorca the factor of playing at home can't help them. Mallorca are in 16th place but I think they are still safe in LaLiga this season 5 points adrift of the red zone.

The game is heading towards the ending. And Valencia is leading with a goal. Guedes scored in the first half. Although, Athletic Bilbao is currently dominating the match, but they have 0 shot on target because Valencia defense is quite strong. However, at this point of time, if Valencia play defensively, they will end up winning. Nevertheless, the game is still open to surprise, Bilbao can  probably equalize the score in the remaining minutes. Anyway, Let's see how this interesting match eventually ends.
