after real madrid drew, all the other teams that follow real madrid also drew

Madrid drew, but it's not a problem. Madrid are definitely La Liga champions. I think this is Anceloti's strategy.  They didn't play with the best team in preparation for the UCL Final. Madrid no longer have a burden in La Liga, they are only focused on UCL. Benzema and Vinicius did not play at all Anceloti gave them a complete break. But if it's done continuously I don't think it's a good idea.

Real madrid  didn't win the match they played against cadiz, it is not a problem at all. Real Madrid have given out their best by winning most of their game. Cadiz are lucky to play draw with Real Madrid,  Real controlled the game more and dominated the game. Real Madrid main target now is on UCL.

madrid are already la Liga champions, why else do they need a win against cadiz!

Benzema is a key player for Madrid at the moment and he is being prepared for the Champions League final against Liverpool, winning the UCL final is much more valuable than winning against cadiz (that's why I'm lazy to place a bet for madrid when they play against cadiz)

I understand that Real have won La Liga ahead of schedule, but still, why do the bookmakers make Cadiz the favourite? The odds on Real are now 3.8, with the score at 1-1! Cadiz are the underdog in this game, they just have more motivation and nothing else... Real can beat them even with a second team or ten players...

Real Madrid is more strong but today match is very hard for Win in Real Madrid. Cadiz playing very well against Real Madrid. I think this match will be ended in draw.I think both team can chance to win this match.Very interesting to see Real Madrid Odds are more than Cadiz.people loves to high odds. Waiting for exactly who will win This match.

This match was very important for Cadiz. On the other hand, although If Madrid could not get any points from this match, Real Madrid did not face any problems. They have already won the title. With 1 point in this match, Cadiz's points are now equal to Mallorca's. If Cadiz can win the last match then maybe next season they will have a chance to play in La Liga. My guess is that the Cadiz team will get full points against Alaves in the last match.

Respect Cadiz's hard work to stay in La Liga, Militao's very bad way of defending, he made a lot of mistakes.
The appreciation of assists from Rodrygo, the accuracy of the passes from Kroos are truly midfield generals and the saves from Lunin are quite impressive. Real Madrid's defense needs a lot of improvement before meeting Liverpool in the Champions final.

Everyone expected Real Madrid to beat Cadiz mercilessly but respect to Cadiz for standing strong. I think they deserve to stay up in the league. They are a pretty good side. This game shows Real Madrid without Karim Benzema struggles to score goals, despite those plenty long crosses/passes from Toni Kross, it had no effect as Madrid have only one reliable goal scorer in the squad and he was absent.

Real madrid didn't lose any thing in the game they played against cadiz because already they have achieved what they want in laliga. Real Madrid main focus is how they can win against Liverpool in their up coming game. The most important thing is that cadiz didn't win the match by luck.

The most surprising result for me today was the one in the Villarreal - Real Sociedad game. I don't know how it happened but Villarreal lost their 1-0 advantage in a short time and lost the game as well by 1-2. And this ended Villarreal's hopes for the Europa League at the same time also. And they are even in danger now against Athletic Bilbao as the gap is one point only now. Villarreal should show a decent performance next time to keep their current position at least.

Fairly even game, in terms of chances, possession of the ball, accuracy of passes, among other aspects. Villarreal did not know how to maintain the good pace shown in the first half, and in the second Real Sociedad knew how to unbalance and annul their opponents without serious complications to win in a very complicated field. Villarreal lost his last chance to break the Europa League, and not only that, he could even stay out of the Conference. Real Sociedad secures a new presence in the Europa League, and manages to equal its score from last season (62 points).

Villarreal has started well from the beginning but now they are loosing focus of which i donnt know what could have agravate that, am nkw having a certain level of doubts in their match delivery expectations, their match with Real Sociedad could have been what they would have enjoy with ease by having some goals into the net of Real Sociedad, but they lack full concentration and were too relax thinking the match will go as expected even if they give less in their determined performance, its a pity that Villarreal couldn't make a difference in the match.

Real Sociedad will be in the Europa League next season competing. Villarreal did left things late this season though, they were really below par in the league at some point. I thought they were incredible at the UEFA Champion's League but were suffering in the La Liga. I would want to believe that not playing in Europe might not be bad for Villarreal, they can  have a proper run for top four next season.

Yes, we must appreciate Cadiz played quite well in that match. But, I am sure it also happens because Real Madrid played with no motivation to win. Cadiz won't have the chance to develop their game if Real Madrid played aggressively and with their main players. Of course, Benzema has a big role to give scores for Real Madrid. But I don't think they are difficult to score in this match because they have no Benzema on the lineups. They seem hard to score because they are not really serious to play for 3 points (winning). Most players prefer to play safely, to avoid getting injured.

Considering how they are basically just ignoring beating each other, lol, it definitely will not change much. For example ATM and Sevilla both got a tie, they could have changed that situation, Sevilla could have won and be above, but they didn't and that is why I am not entirely sure if it would work in this situation.

I agree that there is a limit to something, and Sevilla is maxing out what they can do, they weren't expected to be fourth when the season started, they did amazing, and kudos to them but just because fourth is good for them, doesn't mean that they should have skipped on third which they could have, even second was possible for a while before they started to lose.

I wonder why Sevilla did not do everything to take advantage of their chance to finish second in La Liga. The only explanation I can think of is that they are tired after the whole season. The situation was similar in Barcelona, when they lost the entire series of matches.

Finish second or third is not really different and i don't think the players did big efforts to achieved this, that's my personal opinion and i believe the main occupation for them is to try to win a title in la liga, i wonder how long Barcelona-madrid-atleteco dominance in la liga will last and who will be the first club to break it?

[Masplanc]

Barcelona match against Getafe was not impressive.  Barcelona performance was poor.  Gatefe should be of great opportunity to get more points,  but the game was so dull. For the fact that Barcelona didn't lose the game to Getafe it is better as they draw the game with Getafe.

Of the players played by Real Madrid, the majority of the reserves, this has proven that Real Madrid do not consider the match against Cadiz important.
Since Real Madrid's main focus is the Champions League final, and Real Madrid don't want to take the risk if they have to play their main players
against Cadiz, Real Madrid really wants to keep its main players from getting injured. So there is no need to be surprised if the match ends in a draw, because from the start Real Madrid were not motivated to win. For Real Madrid to face Cadiz is just a formality match they have to play. So the draw does not make
Real Madrid disappointed, but of course for Cadiz who is struggling to get out of the relegation zone to get 1 point is a very good thing, moreover
the opponent they face is the strongest team in La Liga.

[Pokapoka124]

Real Madrid already managed their position in La Liga. Even they played veru careful. In very coming days in UCL match. Of course Real Madrid need to improve their defence site.They need to more work in defendr cz Liverpool attacking site is world-class. And their Goal keeper Alison Backer is most talented goal keeper right now.Bit Cadiz done their job as well that match.

Real Madrid attack line is indeed quite sharp this season in both the league and champions league competition, but the sharpness of the attack line alone is not enough to face Liverpool, which is famous as a team that is balanced in both their attack and defense, maybe now Madrid are no longer thinking about results what was obtained in the league included facing Cadiz yesterday, but Ancelotti should have paid attention to their defense which is quite weak and it can be seen that Real Madrid have conceded a lot of goals in the Champions League but fortunately they have been able to come back so far.

Real Madrid usually shaped 4-3-3 with two defensive midfielder; the team always promise a high attacking game against his opponent. Although, there are loopholes at the defense, it has not significantly cost them thus far this season. From the moment the referee blow the whistle for kickoff, Real Madrid tries to push more players forward to organize attack and even after losing the ball they remained there to press and block the passing line, their defense haven't be a reason they lost a game.

If you are asking if Sevilla has a chance to break the dominance of Athletico, Barcelona or Real - not yet in my opinion, although I would like it to happen. In my opinion, the biggest question for the upcoming season is will Barcelona be able to break the dominance of Real Madrid?

Simply real madrid without benzema can't do much.

They wouldn't stand there at the top of the league and bevome a champions league finalist if only benzema wasn't there to save the whole team asses ...
Just look at the statistics where benzema in the line up , they always win , and whenever benzema missing out , they are struggling. Just like against cadiz.

Vilareal's next match will meet Barcelona, not an easy opponent. But it's the end of the season game, all the teams have already secured their place in the table and it's not going to look interesting. Perhaps Atletico Madrid and Sevilla are the most exciting, they are only one point away with one match left this season

It is a really tough matchup by the way. You are right about it. The only thing that can seem like an advantage for Villarreal is that Barcelona have already secured the second position for themselves. But we still never know how they will perform in this game in the end. But Villarreal need to do better than them anyway otherwise they are going to be in danger of not being able to qualify for any tournament. But Athletic Bilbao are also playing a tough away game against Sevilla. As Sevilla can still finish as the third, they might upset Athletic Bilbao which would be relieving for Villarreal. I think Villarreal will stay at their current position.

[Rengga Jati]

In my opinion, Real Madrid and Barcelona are no longer looking for victory in yesterday's match, especially Real Madrid, which has won La Liga, of course, will not take the risk to play in totality because there is a final that awaits them,

Yes, Real Madrid seems not too serious to play in this match, they have won the trophy and they played likely as a formality. Some of the key players are not put on the squad. so they don't play hard at the match because it's approaching UCL match time. This is done at least to decrease or avoid the possibility of injury for certain players. I was also confused why when against Levante they should put all main lineups for starter, this was very risky, fortunately, none was injured.

while sevilla and athletico who played yesterday I think have locked their position into the champions league next season

They really played so hard and the drawn result is the best for each other. At least, their position and point are still the same, with 1 point different. At least the two are qualified for the next UCL, that's right. But, Real Betis point is now approaching again and this may make Sevilla worry.

[AndySt]

What happened? All Teams in the top four get a draw in the match that is live simultaneously. Real Madrid were held to a draw by Cadiz, Atletico Madrid shared the points with Sevilla, and Barcelona were goalless against Getafe. It looks like they have had enough with what is achieved in the table standings.

In my opinion, Real Madrid and Barcelona are no longer looking for victory in yesterday's match, especially Real Madrid, which has won La Liga, of course, will not take the risk to play in totality because there is a final that awaits them, while Barcelona, ​​which is quite comfortable in second position, of course is no longer have a target that they have to get this season, while sevilla and athletico who played yesterday I think have locked their position into the champions league next season, although athletico and sevilla lost in their last match later but their position is very safe, because it is impossible for real Betis can shift the position of the two teams even though Real Betis ended the season with 67 points or equal to Sevilla but Real Betis still lost head to head with Sevilla.

By the way, two teams out of four played a full-time match against each other, so it's not so surprising Indeed, Real Madrid and Barcelona no longer solved global tournament problems in their matches. About the match between Atletico Madrid and Sevilla, we can say that the neighbors in the standings met and the draw was arranged by both Atletico, which retained its third place and the status quo, and Sevilla, which thanks to this draw secured its participation in the Champions League for the next season. From the intrigues of the last round, the rivalry between Villarreal and Athletic for the 7th place and a place in the conference League is interesting.

I wonder why Sevilla did not do everything to take advantage of their chance to finish second in La Liga. The only explanation I can think of is that they are tired after the whole season. The situation was similar in Barcelona, when they lost the entire series of matches.

I don't think the reason is the fatigue of Sevilla players. Sevilla performance has decreased much since the middle of this season, how can those players feel tired very quickly? Doesn't seem to make sense as the reason. They may have an internal problem, or they have a problem with the tactics or player formation. So, Sevilla players cannot play comfortably, and hard to develop their game. While Sevilla has a problem with their performance, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid started to improve their performance in the second half of this season. So, they gradually can overtake Sevilla from the 2nd place. Well, it is very unfortunate that Sevilla wasted the chance to be the runner-up, they may no longer have the same opportunity in the next season.

Barcelona match against Getafe was not impressive.  Barcelona performance was poor.  Gatefe should be of great opportunity to get more points,  but the game was so dull. For the fact that Barcelona didn't lose the game to Getafe it is better as they draw the game with Getafe.

No goals were scored in that match and it was clearly boring so both of them only got a draw and I personally also really wonder why Barcelona can't beat Gatefe's team who are ranked 14th in Laliga at the moment when it's not a very strong team for this season and Barcelona should have taken the opportunity to get more points in that game too.

Yes, the reason for fatigue is not the right reason because after all, when one player is tired, there are substitutes ready to play. But I'm curious, if Sevilla is tired then what about the teams above it that have a longer tournament to get to the Champions League final for example, then the teams that continue to play in many tournaments will really deserve to be tired. But in any case, as long as they are still in the Champions League zone for next season, for me that is enough because in La Liga we know that Real Madrid and Barcelona are two teams that are teams that always fill first and second place.

Barcelona played more relaxed than before, the second position has been secured by Barcelona and is entitled to a ticket to the Champions League. Playing a draw or losing does not affect Barcelona position. Looking at the statistics of the meeting between the two teams, Barcelona is superior to Getafe. The draw is very fair for Getafe to get 1 point from Barcelona, ​​because Barcelona did not play as usual.
