La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[asriloni]

Girona's performance has indeed declined. it wasn't as consistent and strong as it was at the start of the season. This match was the fifth defeat in the 29 matches that have been played.
Even though the point difference between Bilbao and Atletico Madrid is quite large, if Girona continues to perform like that, they may be moved from the top 4 of the standings.
if they want to keep it, they have to work hard now. finishing in the top 4 will be history for them with a ticket to the European Champions League.

I think it would be a very bad story if Girona went on a losing streak and they dropped out of the top 4. It was something many people didn't expect. Girona has the respect of all La Liga fans because as a mediocre team they are surprisingly able to be in first place for several weeks, and hopefully they can qualify for the Champions League next season. So the bad performance in the last few matches must be an evaluation material for coaches so that they can maintain their position for now. The 7 point gap from Atletico Madrid is quite far, but with 7 games remaining I'm afraid Girona will fall out of the top 4 if they continue playing like this.

This is nothing but bad luck for Girona. But it is likely to happen. Girona have had a great start to the season. They consistently won every match and held the top spot in the table for a long time. Such a performance from a team like Girona surprised us a lot. But we haven't seen better performances from Girona in recent matches. Girona have lost 3 of their last 5 matches.

Girona team is 7 points ahead of Atlético Madrid, which is in fifth place in the points table. If the performance of Girona's players is somewhat stable, it will be very easy for them to qualify for the top four of the table. Girona's opponents are not very strong in the upcoming matches. Girona will end the season in third place in the table if the performance is stable.

It's very hard to think if Girona will defend its performance this season. There will be hard fixtures to come for Girona soon. Look at the upcoming games: Girona is going to face Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. If Girona loses these matches, 6 points will be gone. I strongly believe that Girona will have a very small chance to qualify for the UCL.
The inconsistency still becomes a nightmare for girona and this will still continue to happen probably till the end of the season. It's hard to identiy what factor that was making the performance from girona is worsening from one to the another game.
Have you sene the upcoming fixtures of girona?

There will be some powerful clubs will prevent girona from getting three points. These matches are:

Vs bareclona
Vs atletico madrid
Vs betis
vs villareal

These matches make me doubt if Girona will qualify for the UCL next season. I'm not really sure if Girona can get three points from all the matches above. Girona might win the first leg against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, but it's not for the second leg.
It's hard to believe Girona will beat all of them again.

Even though Atletico Madrid are currently in fifth place, I have no hesitation in saying that they will still finish in the top four at the end of the season. Indeed, currently Atlitco Madrid's performance in Laliga is not as good as in the UCL league, they even managed to get rid of last season's UCL league runner up, namely Inter Milan, and now in the top quarter they will face Dortmund, of course this is their main focus at the moment.

Their chances of getting into the top four are still very wide open because they currently have no more matches against teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona on the sidelines. They will even face Bilbao at home and this is one of their opportunities to overtake Bilboa in fourth place with a difference of only one point. So I believe Atletico Madrid will still fight in the league to stay in the top four, their current performance cannot be said to be bad after what has happened in the UCL league.

It seems to me on the contrary, Atlético’s chances of reaching the top 4 are falling due to the fact that they have a good position in the Champions League. If they can beat Dortmund, then on the way to the final one of the pair PSG - Barcelona will be waiting for them (this is much better than Real, Bayern, City or Arsenal as in the second branch to the final). Maybe it will turn out that they will give all their strength (due to motivation) in the Champions League and lose points in La Liga. I wouldn’t be surprised if they lose the head-to-head match to Athletic and worsen their situation.

As champions last season, Barcelona showed good achievements as this season approached the end and of course this gave Barcelona fans happiness because Barcelona could compete with Madrid.

Many people thought that the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona would be a fierce competition and they would score each other goals, but in reality Atletico Madrid couldn't score a goal and in the end the match ended in victory for Barcelona, ​​but if we look at the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the first meeting at that time, Barcelona also managed to win the match with a score of 1-0, but yes, at the end of this season, Barcelona's performance is getting better, but it's a shame that Barcelona's point difference with Real Madrid is very large and it seems that Barcelona's hope of becoming champions this season is difficult to achieve unless Madrid must be consistent they lose in the upcoming match so Barcelona has the potential to become champions again.

Barcelona is currently in 2nd place in the standings, of course that is a good thing and the runner up position is an achievement that we must appreciate. Xavi's troops will want to continue collecting points and we'll see whether Xavi's troops will continue to consistently win or not.

I don't think Barcelona is able to compete with Real Madrid, Barcelona's success in climbing to second place doesn't mean Barcelona has given Real Madrid competition. These two teams are quite far apart in points which makes Real Madrid feel more comfortable at the top of the standings, even though Real Madrid lost two matches in a row, their position is still safe. Barcelona victory at Atletico Madrid headquarters was a very crucial moment for Barcelona because in other matches Girona failed to win over Getafe. It must be admitted that towards the end of the season, Barcelona's performance was actually better and their goal productivity was also increasing.

Xavi has done his job well even though the chances of retaining the La Liga title are very slim, with the team's condition being unstable financially, he was able to utilize young players from La Masia to fill several holes left by the main players due to injuries. I was very impressed with the performance of the young players Hector Fort and Pau Cubarsi who were promoted to the first team, their performance was very good and they were able to maintain their positions well.

Their presence will actually be very beneficial for Barcelona, they are a solution during the financial crisis, next season Barcelona will be filled with more young players from the La Masia academy, they just need the trust of the coach to develop their talents to become key players in the main squad like Araujo, Gavi, Yamal, Fermin Lopez and Pedri.

It was rumored that he would return to play after successfully going through a series of recovery after injury at the start of the season, but some time ago Courtois was reported to have suffered another injury during a training session which resulted in him having to undergo knee surgery again. Courtois suffered an ACL meniscus injury which required surgery again and it is reported that he has successfully survived the operation.

This is truly fatal for a main goalkeeper for a team as big as Real Madrid and he will certainly leave this season without ever playing for Real Madrid once. He needed another 2 months to recover from his injury after surgery and this was a very long time to pass. It's quite sad to hear this news and of course his recovery is something the medical team must pay full attention to. Luckily without Courtois, Real Madrid is having a very good season and Andrey Lunin as his replacement is doing his job very well. I'm curious whether Courtois will be able to return to his best performance after recovering or not.

This is indeed a piece of sad news for the Belgian international. It was reported that he was in tears when it became clear that he had injured the internal meniscus of his right knee. He has to undergo another surgery that might make him miss the entire season. But this injury is not as serious as the former tear of ACL in his left knee, he might recover to resume with Real Madrid in the next pre-season.

I initially thought that Kepa Arrizabalaga would be number one when he moved to Real Madrid from Chelsea. But the Spanish international has underperformed which has made him second to Andrey Lunin. Kepa's injuries and aerial inability have contributed to the reason why his contract might not be renewed. Thibaut Courtois is currently 32 years and his age might have made him injury prone. So we might see Andrey Lunin getting more responsibility as the Belgian keeps recovering from injuries.

These matches make me doubt if Girona will qualify for the UCL next season. I'm not really sure if Girona can get three points from all the matches above. Girona might win the first leg against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, but it's not for the second leg.
It's hard to believe Girona will beat all of them again.

I think Girona realizes that they haven't played well in their last few matches and that's why they have to be able to recover from this downturn which could make them miss out on a UCL ticket next season. Girona have been fighting and playing well since the start of the season and they have to succeed in finishing in the top four in the standings until the end of the season, even though they might go through tough matches, even if they at least get points from each match and don't lose points which might make them shift to 3rd position at the moment.

Even though there is a difference in points with Bilbao and ATM, Girona still has to be careful in facing their opponents in the next match because Bilbao and ATM can at any time overtake Girona if they continue to let themselves get worse. As a coach, of course Michel needs to be able to raise the enthusiasm of their players. to be able to finish the remaining matches at the end of this season with good results, at least not losing points and drawing or winning, I am sure that if they are confident in their abilities they will definitely succeed in finishing in the top four of the standings until the end of the season.

So I believe Atletico Madrid will still fight in the league to stay in the top four, their current performance cannot be said to be bad after what has happened in the UCL league.

Mind blowing but they're having close to nine games in all of La Liga Competition to recover and find themselves into a stable position.
Girona also should know that the table has to do with consistency and discipline, they're dropping form and it has affected how they play, the mentality and also lead to reduction of them points.

Atletico Madrid would definitely bounce back up to a good place, I'm only worried because Atletico Bilbao are also buzzing, they seem serious and would work hard same way I've seen it.

I feel like Barcelona has finally secured them spot on top of the La Liga standing. After all of these bad performance, they're finally doing the right things to get back up.

I believe Atletico Madrid will finish top 4, but they have to pass a few hurdles. There are only 9 match days remaining in La Liga, and they have to get ahead of Atletico Bilbao within this time. So they have a good amount of matches left to do that. But the problem is that they have UCL knockout games coming up. There are 2 legs in the UCL knockout match. If they play a good team there, they won’t be able to play their strongest teams in the league matches. So things might get problematic there.

Atletico Bilbao are still flying. They have good recent form and there is a chance that they might finish top 4 over Atletico Bilbao. I guess the match that will be most deciding will be the match between Atletico Madrid and Atletico Bilbao.

If we look at the results of Girona's last few matches, they have lost against Athletic Club, Getafe and Mallorca. While Athletic Club was a somewhat stronger team, Getafe and Mallorca were comparatively weaker opponents. Girona were defeated in both these matches.

The main reason for the defeats against Getafe and Mallorca was the poor performance of the attacking players. Girona lost both matches 1-0. The attacking players are not in good form. Otherwise Girona would not have lost against the likes of Mallorca and Getafe.

Even though there is a difference in points with Bilbao and ATM, Girona still has to be careful in facing their opponents in the next match because Bilbao and ATM can at any time overtake Girona if they continue to let themselves get worse. As a coach, of course Michel needs to be able to raise the enthusiasm of their players. to be able to finish the remaining matches at the end of this season with good results, at least not losing points and drawing or winning, I am sure that if they are confident in their abilities they will definitely succeed in finishing in the top four of the standings until the end of the season.

If Girona does not play well in the next matches, it will not be possible for them to qualify for the Champions League from the top four of the table. I would say Girona's players need to be confident. They have the ability to perform well. Girona's players have proved it this season. If the players are confident, and if the match strategy is good, Girona will once again be able to consistently perform well in every match.

[topbitcoin]

And for Girona's match against Real Betis, I can't comment much about this match. Because if I say Girona will win, in fact in the last match Girona was only able to draw against Real Betis. Then if I said Real Betis would win, I would also be a little doubtful. The reason is that currently Girona's ranking is higher than Real Betis. So in my opinion it is very likely that Girona's match against Real Betis will end in a draw again.

Girona are currently not in good shape and it will be very difficult to predict who will be able to win when looking at the current conditions of Girona and Betis.
Looking at the current game scheme and position as well as the advantage of playing at home, it is certain that Girona will be the favorite because apart from those who play at home, in terms of performance and positional advantages they are also better but don't forget in this case Betis is also one of the dark horse clubs that should be wary so we will not be able to predict this match with confidence because Girona's current performance is unpredictable including some bad results they have had in recent weeks.

In terms of odds, Girona are definitely ahead now because they definitely get the advantage of playing home, it's just that it's too troublesome at the moment when trying to bet on Girona because after all, with the performance they have shown in the last few matches, there is no guarantee that Girona will be able to get 3 points in the match later.

[Farma]

It seems to me on the contrary, Atlético’s chances of reaching the top 4 are falling due to the fact that they have a good position in the Champions League. If they can beat Dortmund, then on the way to the final one of the pair PSG - Barcelona will be waiting for them (this is much better than Real, Bayern, City or Arsenal as in the second branch to the final). Maybe it will turn out that they will give all their strength (due to motivation) in the Champions League and lose points in La Liga. I wouldn’t be surprised if they lose the head-to-head match to Athletic and worsen their situation.

That's not a reason in my opinion because even though the Atletico Madrid team will still fight for a top 4 position so that they can still get a ticket to the Champions League next season, if they hope to win the Champion League title this season I think it is very difficult.
In fact, teams that are focused on the European stage make the team's mentality and confidence better when facing matches in La Liga, especially if they have the same motivation.
So in my opinion Atletico Madrid's chances of finishing in the top 4 are still quite wide open, now Atletico Madrid is only 1 point different from the 4th ranked team and with 9 more matches left in this season their chances are very wide open.

[hahay]

As champions last season, Barcelona showed good achievements as this season approached the end and of course this gave Barcelona fans happiness because Barcelona could compete with Madrid.

Barcelona is currently in 2nd place in the standings, of course that is a good thing and the runner up position is an achievement that we must appreciate. Xavi's troops will want to continue collecting points and we'll see whether Xavi's troops will continue to consistently win or not.

It's true that even though they failed this season at least they were still able to provide resistance against Real Madrid and Girona who made a very impressive performance this season, even though they failed it doesn't mean that Xavi Hernández's team will be satisfied with the current season, they still have ambitions for the season In the future, even though the rifal clubs will be more convincing in providing resistance that might trouble Barcelona in the coming season, at least their ambitions will continue to rise no matter what this season, who will come out as champions, at least it is a club that deserves to be there..

At least, Xavi managed to return good results for Barcelona this season, because this season will be Xavi last season at Barcelona. Indeed, previously when Girona was still firmly in second place, I also thought that Girona was capable of maintaining second position. But yes, in reality Girona has returned to the quality of their mediocre team so yes, this has caused Girona to get bad results recently even though they only play against teams that are in the bottom zone or in the relegation zone. But regarding Barcelona, even though Barcelona failed to defend the title but yes, if Barcelona can still manage to finish in second place, of course it will still be a good result for Barcelona compared to Atletico, which is really difficult to stabilize and even Atletico is in danger of failing to finish in the top four this season.

[Volgastallion]

But guys the problem when you are a top manager at one top team like Real Madrid or Barcelona is you need to win ALL so no matter what Xavi is doing he is out of LaLiga and in third place, and for first time after two miserable performance they reach quarter finals on UCL, so for top teams that is 100% shit.

[Mayor of ogba]

I thought Athletico Madrid would be difficult for Barcelona to win against in the league, but Barcelona surprised me with an easy win against Athletico Madrid at home. Barcelona's performance has improved lately, and it has helped them get some good results. Barcelona is now in second place in the La Liga table.

Atletico Madrid's home loss to Barcelona has disappointed their supporters. Before the match started i can disagree with everyone who says that Atletico Madrid will lose to Barcelona. As Atletico Madrid was playing at home, and not all Barcelona players are fit enough to play in this match, I wasn't expecting that they would lose the match. However Barcelona easily won. The match even did not turn out as i expected. Griezmann, Depay, and Morata are all available, but they were unable to score any goal against Barcelona.

I was not surprised that Barcelona won against Athletico Madrid in La Liga because Barcelona has been beating Athletico Madrid in their last four meetings in the league. What surprised me were the three goals Barcelona scored against Athletico Madrid at home without scoring any goals against Barcelona.

[QueenVera]

Girona's match against Getafe could be said to be less than satisfying. The reason is that in that match, Girona was only able to win the match with a score of 1:0. In fact, if you look at Girona in their best performance, perhaps in the match against Getafe it is likely that Girona players will be able to score at least 3 goals. However, at the end of this season, Girona experienced a decline in performance. I don't know what the cause is, but what is certain is that Girona certainly cannot continue to allow this. Because if left unchecked, it is very likely that Girona will be eliminated from the top 4 positions in the Saudi Arabian League (SPL).

Maybe if you look briefly at Girona's match against Getafe, as you said, Girona players still have a high level of egoism. Maybe because these players want to make their names bigger so that it will be easier if they want to move to another club. Because now will definitely be a golden opportunity for Girona players to show their skills. But unfortunately it can be said that this action is not the right action. In fact, this action will definitely tarnish his own name. But this is just my prejudice and I hope the Girona players remain united.

And for Girona's match against Real Betis, I can't comment much about this match. Because if I say Girona will win, in fact in the last match Girona was only able to draw against Real Betis. Then if I said Real Betis would win, I would also be a little doubtful. The reason is that currently Girona's ranking is higher than Real Betis. So in my opinion it is very likely that Girona's match against Real Betis will end in a draw again.

La Liga is definitely a competitive league and for the fact that against all odds, Girona have proven to stay in the top spot, it only means that there's definitely good fighting and resilient spirits in the teams there. The last weeks of the season games seems to be a walk over for Girona as they've in the first legs played to their best and have mastered rightly their strategies and the opposing team approaches, and so they've got better experience to countering the moves that'll be made.

 Real Madrid is definitely of all the league teams be their toughest opponent but I believe that they'll definitely find the best way to counter the moves that'll be made. It'll be beautiful to see that Girona in a long time would get to have a ticket to the European cup next season, they're not aiming for the La Liga trophy, they're definitely going for next season's European ticket and so far, it's seeming like a finished task, we only have to wait for the last table result on the La Liga. Girona has been doing really well in the soccer season, surprising everyone with their great performance.

 In my opinion it still won't be that easy because to become a leader in La Liga you have to have deeper experience even competing with popular teams in La Liga is not an easy task because popular teams have more experience with various strategies to be able to regain their position first. I'd hope more that maybe there'll be a difference on the leader in the La Liga this season considering how dedicated Girona team generally are set towards making a remarkable change. Madrid for sure won't make it so easy for them and so let's anticipate how the remaining weeks of the season would turn out.

[skarais]

~~~

Girona's brilliant performance this season must of course be etched with an achievement. Girona made things difficult for the two elite La Liga teams, namely Real Madrid and Barcelona, and Girona was even able to occupy the top position several times. However, recently Girona's performance has begun to decline and they are in danger of dropping out of the top four. But Girona's hopes are high enough to continue to maintain their position, if they are able to seal the Champions League zone then that will be an extraordinary achievement. To be able to secure its current position, at least Girona must be able to beat Atletico Madrid next April to widen the points gap.

I don't know, Girona still has a chance to maintain its position in the Champions League zone but every match will definitely get more difficult towards the end of the season. You must be aware that Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are two teams that will also be competing for the same place, so perhaps both teams will not allow themselves to drop any more points in their next match with Girona.

It doesn't stop there, Girona still has many difficult matches ahead. Real Betis, Villarreal and several other teams may also be a stumbling block for Girona for the rest of the season and of course Girona must do their best if they want to stay in the Champions League zone. The opportunity is still quite good and Girona certainly doesn't want to lose it in the end.

[Ojima-ojo]

At least, Xavi managed to return good results for Barcelona this season, because this season will be Xavi last season at Barcelona. Indeed, previously when Girona was still firmly in second place, I also thought that Girona was capable of maintaining second position. But yes, in reality Girona has returned to the quality of their mediocre team so yes, this has caused Girona to get bad results recently even though they only play against teams that are in the bottom zone or in the relegation zone. But regarding Barcelona, even though Barcelona failed to defend the title but yes, if Barcelona can still manage to finish in second place, of course it will still be a good result for Barcelona compared to Atletico, which is really difficult to stabilize and even Atletico is in danger of failing to finish in the top four this season.

I thought Barcelona would be at the first position by now in the La Liga table by now, since the club was the most performing in the last season and even the title holders which make them best fit for that position, Girona was a club that climb up to that position of being second because of the early set backs that Barcelona face during the first few games in the early time of the League.


At this moment Barcelona will have a lot of work today be done in under to be able to climb back to possible first position because Real Madrid who is currently the top club with 72 point against the current Barcelona 64 points which means a lot need to be done to be able to beat the current Real Madrid records.

[hyudien]

But guys the problem when you are a top manager at one top team like Real Madrid or Barcelona is you need to win ALL so no matter what Xavi is doing he is out of LaLiga and in third place, and for first time after two miserable performance they reach quarter finals on UCL, so for top teams that is 100% shit.

I agree with you, but we also have to be able to see from another point of view, not just from the point of view of the "big team" held by a team, in this case Barcelona. I think it is unfair for Xavi when he has to accept that he is the cause of Barcelona's current decline in performance, however he can still bring Barcelona to compete in the top 4 of the standings at least, in the midst of a situation where the needs he needs cannot be provided by management. Unless Xavi gets everything he needs but he cannot make Barcelona better, it is very natural that he is blamed for Barcelona's decline.
It will be very difficult for any top coach to carry a team if they don't get what they need. Barcelona is going through that right now, so we can't blame this on Xavi, but everyone has to take responsibility for the loss of confidence in Barcelona, especially the management. Because we can't deny that the reason Barcelona has so many problems like now is management errors in the past, so it's more appropriate if we blame them.

[rahmad2nd]

At least, Xavi managed to return good results for Barcelona this season, because this season will be Xavi last season at Barcelona. Indeed, previously when Girona was still firmly in second place, I also thought that Girona was capable of maintaining second position.

For me, since Ter Stegen returned as the main goalkeeper, Barcelona's goal has not been as easy to break down as when Inaki Pena replaced Ter Stegen due to his injury. Barcelona's main goalkeeper can be relied on, unlike when Barcelona's goal was guarded by Inaki Pena. understandably, this young goalkeeper lacks experience and often makes blunders. that's why, Barcelona experienced some very messy matches. plus, several of Barcelona's core defenders also played badly. Now Barcelona is starting to perform a little better again, even though Gavi, De Jong, Pedri are again injured. Likewise with Balde, Joao Cancelo who is often relied on in Barcelona's defense line.
however, Xavi was able to bring Barcelona through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. plus, currently Barcelona is runner up behind Real Madrid. with 9 matches remaining until the end of the competition, Barcelona is 8 points adrift of Real Madrid. well, it's quite difficult to catch up on the points difference from the top of the standings. moreover, if Madrid is still able to maintain its consistency throughout the remaining matches this season. but at least, Xavi has improved Barcelona's performance and has a chance to advance to the next phase of the Champions League.

As for Girona, their ranking could drop again in the remaining 9 matches. The problem is, Girona has matches against Atletico and Barcelona. plus, several other matches. If Girona loses, that means giving Bilbao and Atletico the opportunity to finish in the top four of La Liga until the competition ends.

But guys the problem when you are a top manager at one top team like Real Madrid or Barcelona is you need to win ALL so no matter what Xavi is doing he is out of LaLiga and in third place, and for first time after two miserable performance they reach quarter finals on UCL, so for top teams that is 100% shit.

Even though Barcelona has made it to the quarter-finals of the UCL this season, it is still very doubtful that Barcelona will reach the final considering the current condition of their team and the opponents they have to face there. And now Barcelona has regained second place from Girona after Girona lost at home to Getafe and Barcelona successfully won without reply at home to Atletico Madrid, so overall Barcelona is only eliminated in getting first position in La Liga and I think that's not too bad for him

[Palakka]

What you say is a little bit true in my opinion, when a coach fails to meet the expectations expected by a big team like Madrid then it is certain that the coach's career will end at a club like Real Madrid, because after all Real Madrid have high expectations every season on their coach and even they are willing to spend a lot of money to be able to meet all expectations to be able to win trophies in all competitions they have participated in so far,  So it is very natural that Madrid management will fire their coach even halfway when he sees his team actually down.

But I think for now it's different what happened with Barcelona, if in the past when Barcelona was coached by Quique Setien and Quique Setien failed to get a trophy for Barcelona of course it is not strange and very natural if he was fired for his failure to coach, because Barcelona at that time which had indeed spent a lot of money, but when Barcelona was only able to win second or third place this season and if they also failed to win the champions League trophy of course I think Xavi will still be very successful at Barcelona this season, because after all Xavi has managed to make a lot of changes at barcelona with only modest player capital and also the financial condition of the club which currently has a lot of problems, so honestly I don't want to say if Xavi is 100% a failure in barcelona.

[Frankolala]

At least, Xavi managed to return good results for Barcelona this season, because this season will be Xavi last season at Barcelona. Indeed, previously when Girona was still firmly in second place, I also thought that Girona was capable of maintaining second position. But yes, in reality Girona has returned to the quality of their mediocre team so yes, this has caused Girona to get bad results recently even though they only play against teams that are in the bottom zone or in the relegation zone.

At this moment Barcelona will have a lot of work today be done in under to be able to climb back to possible first position because Real Madrid who is currently the top club with 72 point against the current Barcelona 64 points which means a lot need to be done to be able to beat the current Real Madrid records.

In their wild dreams, they cannot be the first. No matter if all the work is done in Barcelona, it is impossible for that to happen. Do you think that Barcelona will keep on winning all their rest matches, and Real Madrid will start losing all their matches. Currently, Real Madrid is stronger than Barcelona.

Real Madrid is this season title winners and nothing can change that. Barcelona might still drop points along the line, so I wouldn't believe that they will be able to perform any magic to be the winners of the season. It was last season that Barcelona took advantage of the league, but this season, they were unable to work something out due to their decline in performance close to the middle of the season.
