Mallorca 1 - 0 Real Madrid
I was shocked when I saw the replay match between Mallorca vs Real Madrid. If a prophet told me that Mallorca would win Real Madrid in that match I would not believed him. Even in the match Real Madrid dominated the game. Luck was not by their side that was why they loss out from the game.

If you had watched the results of Mallorca's home matches, you would have changed your mind. They have a very good defensive strategy, and that's what gives them an advantage. I thought for a while to bet on Real Madrid to win, but luckily changed my mind when I watched their previous home matches results.
Barcelona has a nice opportunity now to increase their points and widen the difference with Real Madrid as Sevilla is no longer a strong competitor, although they won their last two matches.

Barcelona has a nice opportunity now to increase their points and widen the difference with Real Madrid as Sevilla is no longer a strong competitor, although they won their last two matches.

Not all favorite teams can win matches, I mean sometimes they can also lose even against weaker teams. Mallorca seemed to have managed to hold off Real Madrid's attacks well, and Predrag Rajkovic's success in saving the penalty made Mallorca win this difficult match.

Right now I'm looking forward to the Barcelona vs Sevilla match, this is also an interesting match because basically Barcelona really wants to win 3 points to be 8 points ahead of Real Madrid. Barcelona are the favorites at home, they have good form and it's hard for me to get them to lose on this occasion. But I'm not sure if today's odds are very favorable for Barcelona, ​​but maybe it is worth considering.

I was Hart broken for what real Madrid did today. it shocked me when they scored owned goal in 13 minute.
And they also missed penality in second half. I think Madrid is something else.
The worst part of it was that I played them to score over 2 goals but they shocked me. wow

[Furious 7]

On the one hand, the defeat against Mallorca is a disaster (with Barcelona gaining even more advantage), on the other hand, Real Madrid's statistics are still good - 75% of points scored. Last year, Real Madrid became champions by a wide margin with 75.4% of points. Therefore, I will hope that Barcelona will once have a recession and Real have a chance.

Obviously this is a disadvantage, especially in this case they are required to reduce the margin with Barcelona.
I actually don't really understand Ancelotti's decision not to start Courtois, Modric and Kroos because we know that in terms of players they are now missing Mendy, Militao and Benzema but they are still making several rotations in the midst of their not very good condition in terms of standings competition.

Real Madrid's loss to Mallorca is a big surprise. Real attacked for most of the game, had a lot of chances to score, but efficiency failed and a bit of luck was lacking. Such a result certainly pleased Barcelona, who will play Sevilla at their stadium in the evening. In the event of a victory, Barcelona will already have an 8-point advantage over Real, which is a really big advance at this stage of the season. I believe that the players of Barcelona will not waste this chance and will beat Sevilla today.

This is not surprising because in last few weeks they are going from poor to worse with injuries issue and their form is also not like as they started this season which is surely big concern as now we are heading for the end of this season and Champions League is also having few days left with they are going to face another club which is going down from poor to worse Liverpool, but Real Madrid is still better and having good coordination.

In last season, Real Madrid fans were also in same situation while Barcelona were struggling badly but Xavi's arrival having the biggest change for them, and now they are at the top hopefully Real Madrid will also be having same situation but things looking not positive until end of this season because now they are targeting few youngsters which are going to have better impact on soccer in the future.

[izsara]

This is Elche's biggest win while they are in La Liga this season because it is very rare to get goals and wins for them.
Even though there were 2 penalties there, a quick goal in 3 minutes made Villarreal flinch.
First win and biggest win and first hat trick for Pere Milla and after 20 weeks the season started.

too bad for them because they can't cover the difference of 11 or more points to avoid the relegation zone, today was one of those days where the favorites did not win, 4 out if 4 favorites failed to win, I never expected Elche to beat Villarreal and they did it with two goal difference, football can be deceiving at times.

They cannot close the condition of being in the relegation zone and this is a difficult thing, but at least they have tasted victory for the competition in La Liga before moving to Segunda B.
But on the other hand there is still a chance if they can play nicely (although I'm not sure about this) then nothing is impossible.

[minime0105]

Real Madrid losing to Mallorca is seen as a high level of disappointment to somany spectators whose conclusion and views has been that Real Madrid is going to win this particular, judging with the both team head to head record the away side has always been victorious against their home counterparts, real needs to step up their games in the attack in other to be successful in their matches.

[Raflesia]

Madrid's defeat today made their condition a little worse than before because indeed with this, now Barcelona has the opportunity to return away with a margin of 8 points when hosting Sevilla today.
Even though it's true that Sevilla also doesn't want their momentum to be broken after 2 wins but facing Barcelona with their current condition clear of 3 points maybe something that Barcelona could have.

[terrorJR]

I don't think so. The draw against Getafe was a bit of a disappointment but still for the Champions League they will be there and I am sure of that. Regardless of how they do the season stays for the end they always finish third in the end even though I don't really like the coach at the moment but that position can still be achieved by Atletico.

Yes, even though Atletico's draw is still safe in 4th place they are still 4 points ahead on Villareal which is the main competitor
But indeed this is disappointing, Atletico should be able to take advantage of the moment of playing at home with 3 points

At least they are still comfortable with the 4 points they have even though this is not very good.
Disappointment is clearly there but still 1 point is clearly better in this case, fortunately Villarreal lost with an embarrassing result to the occupants at the bottom of the standings yesterday.
Now there is Barcelona who will soon be playing, this will be really worth watching considering this could also be an enlargement of the gap between them and Madrid after Madrid failed to gain points.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Kick off Barcelona and Seville have started.
Barcelona's chance is now big enough to add points, especially with Madrid's slightly disappointing condition, it is clear they have the opportunity to widen the distance with Madrid to 8 points.
Judging from the scheme they are running, it seems that Xavi still intends to get 3 points in this match.
Xavi is still exploring Gavi's position change but it is interesting for De Jong and Pedri who are now swapping positions.

[sana54210]

Im glad to see that elche was lucky enough to win the game against villareal even though last win against villareal didn't make elche leave from relegation zone.

I see their stats this season in Laliga, so yesterday's win against Villareal was Elche's first win of the season.
To get out of the Laliga relegation zone is still quite difficult for Elche Elche is at odds of 9 to 10 points from the teams above them like Getafe and Cadiz
It's quite a shame that Elche had to end their journey in Laliga this season and move to the Segunda Division

I feel like some teams do need to get down first, sell some of their players that they won't be able to afford, get some other players which would be cheaper but at least still good, that way they won't be overpaying and they would just look for talent only and not some instagram follower number situation because these days football clubs are just a business and they do care about the talent of the players but they do not really ignore the stardom factor neither.

This is why I believe that they will have a better chance next year. When you go back to just pure football, it's even more fun to watch and they will look a lot better and will do a lot better. Give them time and they will come back again and better.

Real Madrid's loss was indeed a big shock for their fans and bettors at the same time. Benzema's absence was also very visible in this match. They need his contribution quite much mostly. Besides I agree with the people who think some of Ancelotti's preferences for the lineup were wrong. But I don't know if they could have still got any point then. This is a huge advantage for Barcelone as a result. The point difference can reach 8 points depending on what Barcelona do against Sevilla tonight.

Currently I can just say that Barcelona have turned the game into a one-sided one already. We were already expecting to see this though but let's see how this will reflect on the score.

The match took place at home to Barcelona, thanks to the fans, of course, the mentality of the players for Barcelona will increase. Barcelona will end the game by pocketing 3 points. In terms of ball possession, we can see that Barcelona is more dominant. This will make the points further away from Real Madrid.
The worst thing is that Real Madrid has taken Mallorca's players lightly. Madrid players couldn't maximize the match, even Marco Asensio failed to execute the penalty. Madrid conceded in the 13th minute, of course they had a long time to score, but they couldn't capitalize on the time.

I have such high expectations from this game. I won't lie; I am with Barcelona on this. If they win, it will make Madrid look bad, and I really want them to win and move higher up on the table. I see Xavi's strategy coming in this game, and I trust his judgment and hope that it favors him. So far, the game has just started, and we are still seeing how things go. I believe the three points are already in the bag.

Yes, this defeat makes Real Madrid becomes harder to compete for the title. If Barcelona can win today, they will be leading with 8 points and it seems difficult to overtake them. Moreover, if Barcelona can win the next El Classico match, I personally think that Barcelona will win the La Liga title this season. Well, it is very disappointing to see the result of Real Madrid match against Mallorca. How can the small club beat Real Madrid? And Real Madrid made no goal from 20 shots attempts in the match. It is very clear that Real Madrid is in a crisis of productive strikers. They need a new striker, Ancelotti must plan to sign a new strong striker for the next season.

Real Madrid are losing their chances of competing for the Laliga title due to poor performance; I'm not sure what's wrong with their team, but they're getting worse these days; they're having difficulty scoring goals even when Benzima is on the field; I believe Real Madrid should sign more players next season to strengthen their squad.

Currently I can just say that Barcelona have turned the game into a one-sided one already. We were already expecting to see this though but let's see how this will reflect on the score.

Barcelona is likely to win their current match due to their dominance in the match; despite missing some chances, Sevilla is not having enough chances in the match, so there is a chance for Barcelona to increase the points gap between them and Real Madrid to 8 points.

Even though it's true that Sevilla also doesn't want their momentum to be broken after 2 wins but facing Barcelona with their current condition clear of 3 points maybe something that Barcelona could have.

Own Goal from Nacho was really bad which made Mallorca win. Moreover, Real Madrid was also unable to score a single goal. How can they not score even 1 goal when they have a significant attack? This is really annoying. Benzema's absence has really affected the squad so badly? Unfortunately Ancelotti was too confident in their squad and had no intention of looking for a top player in the same position as Benzema. Because Benzema is prone to injury so far. Real Madrid's defeat further distanced their points from Barcelona.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Betis' win against Celta is given a good odds of 2.1... I think that after a minimal defeat to Barcelona, Betis will win today's home match... Although the statistics of head-to-head encounters in recent matches are not on Betis' side, it seems to me that they must win to gain points...

Real Betis should have a better chance of winning playing at home today. After the 1-2 defeat to Barcelona they have to try to get up and fight to be in the top 4 once again, but Villareal and Atletico Madrid seem to have easy matches too today. Regarding opportunities, in my opinion there is also chance of draw in this match because Celta Vigo managed to get 3 points in the previous match against Bilbao.

It should be an even match for the two, but Real Betis excel because of their home advantage today. The worst consequence for Real Betis today is that they have to lose maximum points again at home with draw because I'm not sure they lost.

There is something that I would like to highlight, both Barcelona and Real Madrid have a great silent war, for Barcelona, they do not want to lose a single point, because the advantage they have over Madrid they know that they can continue to position them in first place, without However, Real Madrid is establishing itself much more in the League, they know that they must not fail and they are putting all their arsenal to win, it is obvious that Ancelotti knows that he can no longer afford to think about a draw or a possible defeat, since That should not even come to mind, for this reason Barcelona is giving everything, of course very strong commitments are coming up, such as in the Europa League.

On the other hand, the other teams are doing everything possible so that they don't miss out on the classification so much, they all want to get in, they know that if they beat Real Madrid or Barcelona they could consecrate themselves as one of the points of gold, that makes the league very exciting too.

Real Madrid losing to Mallorca is seen as a high level of disappointment to somany spectators whose conclusion and views has been that Real Madrid is going to win this particular, judging with the both team head to head record the away side has always been victorious against their home counterparts, real needs to step up their games in the attack in other to be successful in their matches.

It is very clear that Real Madrid is in a crisis of productive strikers. They need a new striker, Ancelotti must plan to sign a new strong striker for the next season.

Well, Real Madrid is very disappointing, I don't know how they could trust each other so much, I'm impressed that Ancelotti hasn't been able to fix things, Barcelona is currently winning 2-0 against Sevilla, and I don't see Sevilla having an attitude attack, I see them as waiting for Barcelona to play with the counterattack, in a position like this they should not do it, that strategy is very reckless and even more so when they are under the score, I do not see it as correct, however it seems very Good for Barcelona, if they win those 8 points it will be very hard for Real Madrid to recover them.

And the Busquets thing is something that worries:

Busquets forced off injured in Barcelona's clash with Sevilla and could miss Man Utd Europa League tie

Sergio Busquets limped out of Barcelona's La Liga match against Sevilla at the Camp Nou with an apparent ankle injury.

    Midfielder went down early in match
    Limped off pitch
    Replaced by Franck Kessie

WHAT HAPPENED? The midfielder required treatment after a challenge from Youssef En-Nesyri just four minutes into the clash. After a few minutes, the Spain international had to be taken off and replaced by Franck Kessie.

Source: https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/busquets-injured-barcelona-clash-sevilla/bltfafe5cb15f76e8fc

The league was very uphill for Real Madrid, but with respect to Barcelona it is speculated that the Busquets thing could be extended to perhaps not play in the Europa League.

[AakZaki]

Yes, he has a chance to be the top scorer this season. In 16 La Liga games he has already scored 14 goals. This is an amazing adaptation for the players who joined. Maybe he just lost to Haaland's record at Man city at the moment. In the second number is Mato from Espanyol. He scored 11 goals in 3 goals difference from Lewandowski. But this is a dilemma because there is an agreement with Munich. If Lewandowski is able to make 25 or more goals in one muim Barcelona is obliged to pay 5 million euros to Munich. He currently scores 23 goals in all competitions he has participated in.

[redsun114]

I don't think so. The draw against Getafe was a bit of a disappointment but still for the Champions League they will be there and I am sure of that. Regardless of how they do the season stays for the end they always finish third in the end even though I don't really like the coach at the moment but that position can still be achieved by Atletico.

Yes, even though Atletico's draw is still safe in 4th place they are still 4 points ahead on Villareal which is the main competitor
But indeed this is disappointing, Atletico should be able to take advantage of the moment of playing at home with 3 points

Now there is Barcelona who will soon be playing, this will be really worth watching considering this could also be an enlargement of the gap between them and Madrid after Madrid failed to gain points.

In last few weeks we have the biggest decline in few teams which were fighting hard for the Champions League spot specially in this round we have Real Sociedad lost against Valladolid and then Betis and Athletic Bilbao are also suffering with this all right now Atlético Madrid is good beneficiary because they were also bad but still holding fourth spot and now having four points gapes is good advantage for them even they also need good performance in remaining matches if they want to stay here until end of this season.

Right now, as few teams are giving unpredictable results things can change quickly because now from 4th spot Atlético Madrid to 10th spotted Mallorca having just difference of 7 points which is achievable for the teams but need better performance all are right now having same level which is also interesting.
