[Frankolala]

Barcelona vs Las Palmas:
Here we go, guys Barcelona have won the match and got 3 points to maintain 2nd place in the league table despite being just 5 points away from the top place, but unfortunately Real Madrid sre dominating the first place and aren't letting him take 1st place.
 
But anyway let's talk about match status. Barcelona have played so well that they are just dominating the game with their pretty good performance in the first half. R. Lawandoski also scoreed at the beginning of the first half but was disallowed due to offside and a lot of chances were missed by the Barcelona side. At last Raphina put the ball into the net at 59 minutes to secure three 3 and remain in second place in the league table. Now Barcelona will just focus on UEFA champions league matches against PSG. Let's see what will happen next at UCL: will they continue to win the match or not.

It is all good and they got their 3 points, reached their goal. But there was a talk whether Barcelona can make the title race exciting again and honestly this game was a big disappointment in my opinion. How is it possible that Barcelona against a team that is one man down only wins 1-0? This has nothing to do with a superb Barcelona team. It was a shame and the fact that Las Palmas managed to shoot 8 times during the game whereas Barcelona only had 11 shots in contrast, I think this is quite revealing about their condition. They won't win the Champions League and they won't win La Liga. They need a complete reset to grow big in the coming years again.

Yea, it is a shame on Barcelona to finish the game with just one goal, even with shut one that their opponent had. However, as long as they are able to have 3 points, it is a good result.

I believe that they know what they are doing, and Xavi is only after securing three points no matter how the goal was scored and how many goals. He might be reserving the players for the champions league since he knows that he cannot win Laliga but might want to make sure that his players go far in the champions league.

Xavi Hernandez's side are unbeaten in 11 matches since the coach said he would leave at the end of the season, while recent form has given them some slim hope of retaining the title.

In this match, Las Palmas proactively played a deep defense against Barcelona. This makes coach Xavi's team face many difficulties in implementing coordination pieces. In the 24th minute, Las Palmas played without players when goalkeeper Valles fouled Raphinha and received a red card. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Barcelona rushed to attack. Las Palmas tried hard to fight back, but Felix delicately released the ball so that Raphinha could escape and accurately head the ball into Las Palmas' net. This means 3 points belong to Barcelona with a hard-fought 1-0 victory. With a win over Las Palmas, Barcelona made a flying start to their Champions League quarter-final with Paris Saint-Germain, their subsequent encounter in 11 days. But I think with this strength, it will be difficult for them to defeat PSG.

[Leviathan.007]

Barcelona is still having great difficulty scoring goals against Las Palmas. They scored a goal, but unfortunately it was offside which the referee later disallowed after reviewing VAR. Las Palmas went down to 10 men after their goalkeeper saw a red card for a hard foul on Raphinha, but Barcelona haven't really been at their best so far in the first half.

Raphinha, Lewandowski and Fermin Lopez had goal opportunities, but the three of them still failed to score until the end of the first half. Maybe there will be a change in strategy in mind in the second half because Barcelona's attacks so far have been completely ineffective. They only made 3 good chances, even if they dominated this match completely.

Raphinha is lucky because he is still alive after this match! The referee in the game between Barcelona and Las Palmas used the card against the goalkeeper of La Palsam but this was not enough because one goal from Barcelona was rejected by the VAR and I think maybe Barcelona could even win this match if they were lucky in this game.
24 minutes after the start of this match, Álvaro Valles the goalkeeper of Las Palmas couldn't make Raphinha stop normally and that's why he was about to get this player injured hard.
Raphinha could get injured in this match and this could be a nightmare for Barcelona, this time even the VAR couldn't help Las Palmas, and the referee used a red card.

Osasuna in the match against Almeria performed very well and the performance of Jose Arnaiz who was able to score a goal in the 2nd minute and A. Budimir in the 9th minute was very great, he scored a goal in the early minutes and this was extraordinary. Osasuna has managed to add 3 points and can finally move up to 9th place. However, Almeria has now failed in trying to get up from the relegation zone and it looks like this defeat will make it difficult for Almeria to get up from the relegation zone and honestly I predict Almeria will win against Osasuna because of their performance. During the last match against Las Palmas Almeria win, but now in reality Gaizka Garitano's troops failed to add points.

in their last match, Las Palmas failed to win against Almeria. Now in the match against Barcelona, ​​Las Palmas again had to swallow the bitter pill because they were defeated by Barcelona with a score of 1-0 and uniquely, against Almeria, the resulting score was 0-1 for Las Palmas' defeat.

Xavi's troops performed very well in that match because they controlled 70% of the ball, now the point gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid has reduced and this is good progress. However, it was a shame that Lewandowski and his friends did not score much, but Raphael was lucky to be able to score a goal and take advantage of the opportunity well.

For Cadiz this is a really important victory and now the gap from Celta is only 2 points, and from Sevilla 3 points, which is not much. Although Granada played well, but could not score, although at the end of the match Granada probably deserved at least one goal and in general Granada plays quite well, but still 14 points is extremely low and chances to stay in La Liga are minimal. Almeria also apparently will not keep a place in La Liga next year and now the main question is who will leave La Liga third - Cadiz, Sevilla, Celta and possibly Rayo Vallecano. The difference between these teams is only 4 points and a lot can change. 

Cadiz is one step better than Granada, but this victory does not ensure Cadiz's position from the relegation zone is safe because Cadiz is still close to the clubs in the relegation zone. Cadiz still need a lot of points to secure their position in the middle of the table because if they are careless in the remaining matches in the next match they will be wasted even though they have widened the gap in points with the bottom 2 of the standings because the difference in points with the 2 clubs below is quite far, even though there is no chance of overtaking them, but still the position is still not safe.

However, in the last 5 matches, Cadiz has experienced good improvement, he has only experienced 1 defeat, which means he has gained more points than he has lost, yes, even though a draw results in losing 2 important points, at least Cadiz has not lost all his points and still has the opportunity to overtake the clubs above him if able to consistently appear to win.

I don't know yet which 3rd club will be relegated because those clubs still have a chance of overtaking. We can only determine when there are 2 games left and look at the difference in points so we can see who will be relegated between the clubs you mentioned or it could be different clubs.
In the next match, Cadiz will face Barcelona. I am not sure that Cadiz will be able to beat this elite club. I think Cadiz will lose points again in this match.

Only Barcelona fans really want Barcelona's performance to get better from season to season, while others want it to get worse. Xavi resigned at the end of the season not because Barcelona did not support his wishes, but he actually had other problems personally that may have nothing to do with management. One of the problems that is often said to be the high demands of the media which make him always under pressure, is what makes him uncomfortable being Barcelona coach in the long term.

Xavi has done his job well since he signed a contract with Barcelona, ​​he was even able to win the title when Barcelona did not have strong finances. I have to admit that's true, but people don't appreciate it but only bring it down even more.

I don't know guys it seems that until now we don't find a relevant reason why Xavi left Barcelona if indeed the management and fans expect him to stay at this time, if saying fans expect Xavi to continue coaching Barcelona of course that is a realistic thing because after all fans do appreciate Xavi's hard work at the moment and fans realize it is not an easy thing for Xavi to build Barcelona with deteriorating finances as it is today,  But from a management point of course we don't know what they want because indeed only Xavi and the management know better in that regard, I think we can't blame the media at the moment because after all they are just doing their job and as a public figure of course the pressure from the media is not something that Xavi should care about at the moment,  But I heard that Xavi's decision to resign was because he felt exhausted in coaching Barcelona and hoped that there was another coach capable of making Barcelona even better.

From his words I interpret if Xavi is tired of facing the pressure of the current management to make Barcelona better, and compared to supporters and media is it not only the management that has the right to put pressure on the coach, besides that when Xavi says maybe a better coach, doesn't it indicate if maybe Xavi's achievements at Barcelona are not appreciated and it is possible that the management compares Xavi's achievements with other coaches.

Xavi's troops performed very well in that match because they controlled 70% of the ball, now the point gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid has reduced and this is good progress. However, it was a shame that Lewandowski and his friends did not score much, but Raphael was lucky to be able to score a goal and take advantage of the opportunity well.

Barcelona's narrow victory continues to open up Barcelona's opportunity to compete for La Liga champions with Real Madrid. They gained 3 points win against La Palmas. The points difference with Madrid is currently only 5 points but Madrid has 1 game more. In addition, there is an El Clasico match in April, if Barcelona wants to still have a chance of winning, of course they must win in El Clasico later. The remaining 8 matches are still enough to make the title competition more interesting.

It was not really easy for Barcelona in that match against LA Palmas yesterday. I don't think Barcelona should have won the match yesterday if it were not for the red card La Palmas received. It could have been a draw match for Barcelona because, with the red card again, see the way La Palmas was still performing. So if they did not have the red card, their performances should have been better than that. Yes, currently there are only 5 points between Barcelona and Real Madrid if Real Madrid didn't win their match against Ath Bilbao, and if it were possible to draw, it would be 6 points, but if Real Madrid can secure the win, it would be 8 points.
 
As for the Real Madrid match against Ath Bilbao, it is not going to be an easy match for Real Madrid; it is going to be a tough and interesting match because both teams need to win to keep their points different with their opponents in the race with them. As for Real Madrid, the team needs to win to keep 8 points different between them and Barcelona, and for Ath Bilbao, it really needs to win to maintain it different with Atletico Madrid for Ath Bilbao to keep remaining in that four position on the table.

Real Madrid are dominating the league with good points and stellar performance. Carlo Ancelotti will not rest because he has another top rival for the title and he's Xavi Hernandez who have an outstanding squad. Winning is consider to be seriously indulged for elite teams and it will be huge dissapointement when these teams failed. Barcelona will always bring on the best performance when it comes to La Liga title. Xavi Hernandez and his team are present to mount pressure on the long run of the club. Barcelona facing Las Palmas and they struggled to win, which is certainly out of line.

Despite their victory in this match, I want to criticize their game. they played with a man advantage because Las Palmas had to play with 10 people after their player was shown a red card in the 24th minute. However, with the advantage they had they were not able to create many opportunities, in fact I think they had difficulty in this match, I also think that Las Palmas plays with 11 people so maybe the match will end in a draw.
I'm not criticizing the number of goals they scored, but rather the game, they did control the game, but how many chances did they create during 90 minutes? There are only 2 open opportunities and 1 of them can result in a goal. Yes, they did make a lot of attempts, but that didn't threaten Las Palmas' goal at all.
They can't continue like this, they have to be better at creating attacks, just imagine if their opponent was a stronger team than Las Palmas, they might lose this match.

Sevilla managed to win away to Getafe with a single goal.They started to get out of the relegation zone.We can say that it was not really a season worthy of Sevilla.I have seen them in such a bad place after a long time.Alderete scored an own goal and caused his team to lose.We can say that Getafe played better than Sevilla, but they could not be effective in front of the goal.
Almeria, on the other hand, can now say that this is their last game in the league.Almeria lost by 3 goals against Osasuna and have no chance of staying in the league.Even though they played a competitive match with their opponent, you can't win the match if you can't score goals.Although we can say that Almeria played better in the match, they should have won.

If there was no Xavi, maybe Barcelona would have fallen even deeper. We can see that when Xavi first arrived, he handled the Barcelona team which was already in a very bad state with all the problems they were facing, but slowly Xavi built this team with adequate finances provided by the team management.

It sounds very strange if Xavi is blamed for the decline in Barcelona's performance this season, the team management must actually be responsible because they did not provide full support for Xavi to build this team.

At the end of the season Xavi has decided to leave the team and I think that will make Barcelona very difficult and I think with their new coach next season they will not have a large percentage to be better than this season, I am very pessimistic about that.

Xavi took this team from basically "about to crash" to a level where it can sustain itself. Can they get out of their 1.2 billion dollar reported debt? Well they are a football club, and they sold their future revenues as well so not like that is going to mean something, but if they want to, they can get rid of half of their debt literally this summer. Would it be worth it?

I do not think so, but it is really not that impossible. How? Selling off players, they can sell Gavi, Pedri, Yamal, De Jong, Araujo, Raphinha, Kounde, Balde, Roque and more. That would mean at least 500 million in just one summer, or at least 500 million euro worth of assets on sale basically and could sell slowly with time because finding teams to pay that much may take some time. In the end, yes they do have a big debt, but they also have assets to pay half of it.

Valencia and Mallorca played out a goalless draw.Both teams have different goals.Valencia is trying to finish in the top 7 while Mallorca is fighting to stay in the league.Both teams have a small point difference between themselves and their opponents.Valencia has only 1 point difference with their opponent and they have a great chance to close it in the remaining 9 weeks.They have at least a chance to go to the conference league.
Barcelona, on the other hand, defeated Las Palmas at home with a single goal and got 3 points.Las Palmas have no purpose in the league.With no chance of relegation, they can start preparing for next season.They have a chance to go to Europe, but I don't think they can go when their other rivals have better squads.Las Palmas, who were reduced to 10 men in the 24th minute, couldn't do much more in the match.

This is quite a natural win, Barcelona is playing at home and against a mid-table team that is in a slump right now, La Palmas has not won a match in its last 5 matches so it is almost impossible for them to get points at Barcelona's home ground.

Barcelona's performance is indeed improving now, but I don't think Barcelona will be able to enter the competition for the title with Real Madrid unless Barcelna is able to win the El Clasicco match on April 22.

On the other hand, Real Madrid's performance is also quite impressive, they have everything to be able to maintain their top position in the standings.

[SmartCharpa]

Agree with you. Maybe if it weren't for Xavi, Barcelona would be even worse. Luckily, Xavi came to their rescue and succeeded in bringing Barcelona to the LaLiga trophy last season despite the financial crisis. The problems currently facing Barcelona are so complete that blaming Xavi as the culprit for Barcelona's decline is an unwise action.

Because I see Xavi is a genius future coach and those who say Xavi has to go, they don't know his game. They only criticize things they don't even know about, when Xavi needs the best defensive midfielder he knows what he is talking about and this is just the start, barcelona just needs to bring in the players he wants and be patient in the process because what he is doing right now is not perfect . But now he has decided to leave Barcelona and this decision will not change even if Barcelona wins the UCL title. Xavi's decision to leave Barcelona is final and will not change.

Xavi is Barcelona's best coach, without him, the club would be even worse. Xavi understood that being Barcelona's head coach is very difficult, but others blamed him for the club's poor performance in the past few weeks. I didn't see his fault because he only worked with the players he had this season. Barcelona did not buy top players this season, instead, he built the players he has to move to the second in the league, they still qualified for the Champions League quarterfinals because the management always complained about finances.

Yes, in comparison, their opponents were Las Palmas, with only 10 players since the 24th minute. And Baecelona could only score 1 valid goal. That's not very satisfying. Of course, victory is still victory, but it should be. Barcelona can do more than this in this match.

Although it cannot be denied that there were several Barcelona players who remained quite significant during the match. So at least they still win. Like Rapinha, who contributed well and impressively this time.

Source: Rapinha

Barcelona scored only one goal against ten players, although Raphinha was able to converted one opportunity to goal, out of the several that he missed. Since 24th minutes, when the Las Palmas goalkeeper was sent off, even without the red card, I did not expect Barcelona to scored only one goal against Las Palmas because Palmas lost their last home game against Almeria, a team that cannot escape the relegation zone, Barcelona can perform more than this, but they lost the chances they had, look at the goal Félix supposed score with shot he thought the goalkeeper could not save the ball and play it a little bit, while the goal saved it.

To be honest, Barcelona played really well yesterday. However, the victory felt lucky to me because Las Palmas, who had ten players, had already been given a red card after twenty-four minutes. As a result, Barcelona was unable to score during the game until they returned from the second half. In a way, the game was unfair to Las Palmas because they were not fully committed to the game, which allowed Barcelona to play well. However, I've noticed that a lot of Barcelona supporters are angry about the goal that the referee called offside. They are unaware that the referee did not make the mistake; instead, the var checked the goal and declared it offside, so we are at a loss for words as this has happened to many other teams as well.

Barcelona's performance today gives them confidence that they can beat any team, including PSG, in their upcoming Champions League match. Since Barcelona is a team that never admits defeat, they should first examine their own and PSG's squads before making any statements about their ability to defeat PSG. Only then will they be able to determine whether they can defeat PSG or not.

Yeah, isn't bad, in the end Barcelona still win and they can be able to collect three points.
Regarding the UCL match later, I actually agree with you that Barcelona has the ability to beat PSG, with their good squad depth, Barcelona must be able to have that confidence. But on the other side, PSG which is now led by Enrique, is also better, I think the match in that competition will not be easy for both teams.

Overall I am not too impressed with the Barcelona game and not surprised if they win because their opponents are Las Palmas and Barcelona playing at home so it's normal if Barcelona win. In my opinion, Barcelona should be able to score 3-4 goals because Las Palmas played with 10 players unfortunately Barcelona cannot take advantage of this opportunity. Yeah Barcelona managed to take the second place in the standings Barcelona is more deserved to get it than Girona.

I know you probably didn't really enjoy the match because Barcelona was only able to score 1 goal to bring them full points, even though Las Palmas had lost one player since the first half and that should have been an advantage for Barcelona but it turned out that Barcelona was only able to score 1 goal. According to all of us, this is not surprising, I think Barcelona is just trying to play more relaxed so that their players don't lose a lot of stamina so that it doesn't affect their performance towards the end. At least 1 goal is enough to bring Barca to 3 points and become more comfortable in 2nd place.

[rendravolt]

Barcelona seemed to be under pressure when playing at home and were lucky they were still able to win with such a narrow score. There's no stopping this season, Barcelona can always get wins like this and I'm sure that's what makes them unable to compete for the La Liga title. Even though they could have won a landslide victory against Las Palmas, on the other hand, sometimes the players' performance was uncertain.

Moreover, if we look at Las Palmas who appeared with only 10 players since the first half, Barcelona should be able to take advantage of this situation so that they can always threaten Las Palmas' defense and at the same time score lots of goals. But what we see, Barcelona can only score one goal and I think the result would be different if Las Palmas played with a complete squad, then Barcelona's chances of winning are very small.

PSG current coach is the former coach of Barcelona who has won trophies for them and he knows the club and their culture. This is one thing that's going to make this encounter with PSG very special. For me Barcelona is more equipped to beat PSG and progress to the semi finals. They have a more standard players who have won different trophies from different Clubs and their individual experience is going to contribute to be beneficial too. PSG has a more young squad and many of them haven't really won much trophies, so Barcelona is the most favorite to advance, couple with the facts that they are currently on a winning streak in the Laliga. If they can transfer their form to the Champions league it will be better for them.
