Quite ironic that it was Real Madrid legend Ramos who won the game for Barcelona via an own goal. You can’t really blame him though, it’s just one of those things in football, it happened so quickly and he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Here’s the goal for anybody who didn’t see it - https://x.com/footbalbastards/status/1707880828175258055

Girona's toughness will be tested in tomorrow's match when they face Real Madrid. All Girona fans will definitely fill the Montilivi stadium to give full support to Girona in tomorrow's match. I'm sure this is a big match that will make them even more confident if they are able to beat Real Madrid in tomorrow's match. So far Girona are unbeaten in Laliga, that's an advantage they have and it's worth it for them to maintain the positive streak they're on.

A draw may not be Girona target in tomorrow's match because they were so ambitious at the start of this season to look for a win. I think without Vini reinforcement it is very likely that Real Madrid balance will not be said to be balanced in tomorrow's match. An opportunity for Girona to exploit this weakness and I hope they can do their best in tomorrow's match.

Since being promoted to La Liga through the play-off round in 2022, Girona has emerged as a club that has provided a surprise this season, unexpectedly Girona managed to top the La Liga standings with a collection of 19 points from 7 matches. The toughness that Girona has shown in the last seven matches will be tested by one of the La Liga giants, with six wins and one draw, Girona is increasingly confident when competing against Real Madrid.
Their goal productivity is also quite good, Girona is recorded as one of the top scoring teams with 18 goals. Beating Real Madrid was a big motivation for Girona, the additional three points made them even safer at the top of the standings.

Ramos is entirely responsible for Sevilla's defeat against Barcelona. How could he make such a mistake in the end? Such a mistake was never expected from a world-class defender like him. The way he scored his team's goals, it felt like he was a Sevilla player and not a Barcelona player. I don't understand how he got the ball back from the point where he was standing.  

Own goals are not unusual. We have seen many players score own goals before but in a different way.  

Ramos was standing slightly in front of the goal post, from where he was standing a defender would never pass the ball back because the empty goal post was right behind him but why did he pass the ball back.
He might be dropped from the team for the mistake he made.

That's a normal thing in football, especially for a defender who wants to anticipate the ball and I think you are blaming Romas too much, he didn't do the own goal well, everything that happened was by chance because he was running and no one expected it. The ball came to his feet and went into the goal.
You are exaggerating when you say that the team will leave him because of this mistake, Sevilla were just unlucky in this match even though they played quite well and it cannot be denied that both teams put in a good performance, only this time Barcelona was luckier.

I also think so, it is inappropriate to blame Ramos for the incident. Ramos was just unlucky. But even though he is old, Ramos is still quite direct in guarding the defense line. His return to the club during his junior years has also had a positive effect on Sevilla's development. Los Nervionenses started off at the start of the season and now their progress is starting to get better. So what happened last night is normal in football because it was just a disaster and was not planned.

Ramos has been playing in the same position for a long time and he is much more experienced, it might be normal if a junior player made such a mistake but he was once the best defender in the world and he has a lot of experience in defence. If the goal was scored by heading the opponent's ball, maybe there would not be so much discussion or criticism about this issue, but the goal was scored differently. You must have seen the last match, if you have seen last night's match then you yourself will be disappointed with Ramos's performance. Newbies can make mistakes but if a more experienced person makes a mistake in their position then it is normal to criticize it. And I believe this criticism of him will save him from making such mistakes in future matches.

After failing in the match against Mallorca, Barcelona will try to improve everything in the next match against Sevilla. Considering that this is Barcelona's home match, of course they are very favored over their opponents. Moreover, Barcelona have played well at home so far, winning all 4 home games in two different competitions, so I believe they are still the favorites to win.

Barca is still unbeaten but Mallorca was a game they should've won. They fell back two times and it was harder to score against a defensive Mallorca. They should hold these type of uncalculated point losses to minimum. Real also has bad games but they still won. It's important to win even when you play worse than opponent. Real's only loss was against Atletico which is acceptable.
Team of the first 7 weeks is Girona. It'll be an interesting match between them and Real Madrid this weekend. We'll see if it's by luck or if they are really good and deserve the first place. One thing for sure is at least one of them lose points.

Girona, the surprise and flash team of the season, go into week eight as leaders. Michel's team are unbeaten and won again at Villarreal after falling behind earlier in the week. They have made some very good additions to last season's good squad. For Real Madrid, Vinicius Junior could return to the starting eleven this time but i don't expect Alaba to play and Rüdiger is available but not fully fit. Real struggled in the Atletico Madrid derby, especially in defending air balls. Girona can take advantage of this with Dovbyk. I think Girona will score but Real Madrid can pull rabbits out of the hat in these games with their big team reflexes. I think the game will start with a fast start and there could be goals against each other.

Watching Barcelona grab a other points and climb closer to Real Madrid on the table. Was it really extremely challenging for Barcelona to secure three points against Sevilla? Yes, considering Sevilla employed a defensive strategy against the blaugrana, making it really hard for them to score. It appeared to be an uncontested game for Xavi's side, but their relentless pressure on Sevilla broke the deadlock when Ramos had a deflection that led directly to the net, creating the difference on the scoresheet. Sergio Ramos impressed at Camp Nou against Barcelona.

Osasuna performance so far has been very bad so it is not surprising that Atletico Madrid can win the match even though Atletico Madrid did not completely dominate the ball game Atletico Madrid was able to score 2 goal and the 13 shots taken by Osasuna did not produce results and were unable to equalize.
Atletico Madrid's defense so far is quite strong in 5 matches, he was able to win 3 matches 1 draw and 1 loss which is a pretty good result and he has collected 13 points 1 point different from Bilbao. I hope that Atletico Madrid next match will take him to the top 4 of the standings and can enter the preliminary round of the Champions League.

Osasuna is currently the underrated team, so it was expected that Atletico Madrid would win the match.
The game got tough, especially in the second half, where Atletico Madrid faced significant pressure. However, the team performed valiantly, while two goals coming from Antoine Griezmann and Riquelme. It looks like they're on track to secure a top 4 position in the standings, and it's difficult for any team to impede their progress.

The match was very exciting and it was difficult for Ossasuna to equalize even both clubs received red cards in the 85th minute namely Morata (Atletico Madrid player) Avila (Ossasuna player) so they were forced to play with 10 players but still Ossasuna experienced difficulties when facing opponents from Atletico Madrid until finally Ossasuna surrendered and Atletico Madrid won the match.
the match will get more difficult and next Atletico Madrid will play Cadiz and I am sure Atletico will win the match because Atletico Madrid's chances of winning are quite large (70%) while Cadiz is only (11%) I will completely bet on Atletico Madrid in this match and hopefully my prediction was correct.

Funny how Sergio Ramos said a couple days ago that he wants to score against Barcelona ...well ...he did score ...but too bad it was against his team  . Overall , Barca kinda deserved to win today but Sevilla looked way more stable than last 3 games so that should be a good sign for them in the coming games.

this was the work of Lamine Yamal, a young player who accidentally headed the ball towards Sergio Ramos and ended up with a goal in his own net and it was very funny to see Ramos reaction to seeing the ball go into his own net but I dont blame him because this was the fault of goalkeeper Orjan Nyland who did not move look at the ball towards him so that the ball is free to enter the goal. I almost gave up seeing that this match was very tight because Sevilla defense was really very strong and I was sure that Sevilla goal was to end the match with a draw to get 1 additional point but unfortunately this mistake occurred which really shocked us all.

I am sure Sergio Ramos will continue to speak harshly to himself after the match ends.

Regardless of Barcelona's win in this match they have earned full points in this match which has taken them to the very top of the points table. Barcelona can stay stable now as Barcelona are now in the best position in La Liga. 

Barcelona won the last match and today Real Madrid has a match. If Real Madrid can get full points in today's match, then Barcelona's position will come back to number 2 because if they collect full points, Real Madrid will be one point ahead of Barcelona, so Real Madrid will be at the top of the points table.
Although the match against Girona will not be so easy for Real Madrid, we are optimistic for Real Madrid. Hopefully Real Madrid will get full points in this match and regain the number one position in the table.

Barcelona has taken the first place in the league now, a lucky win and 3 points, so they have 20 points only 1 point more. But today the topgame is played in Girona, the guest is Real Madrid. Girona has won the last 6 games, the series of real madrid is not so good. The last match between the two teams was on 25.04.2023, there Girona won 4:2 against Madrid. The name Castellanos was everywhere in Spain, he score 4 goals against real madrid. Today he will not play, he moved to lazio rom.

Ramos played so well during the match. People can't blame him for his unintentional error. The ball was going to his foot and it's unpredictable movement by him and the deflected ball was not going through his calculation.
That's why it was going to the in the back of goal net. Im really disappointed to see how people keep blame him when something like that is a common thing in the football.

Sevilla shall not drop him from the main squad. It's only coincidence in the football. Ramos has been trying to block the ball but it was going through the different direction.

It wasn't  easy for Barcelona to grab 3 points from Sevilla,  the performance of Sevilla was very tense  and it was as if Barcelona would not have been able to win the game, but so interesting to see Barcelona overcome the tough game of Sevilla.  If Sevilla continues of playing in this manner in laliga this season they will really achieve a better position but Sevilla performance can't be predicted,  it is still possible their next game won't be as tough like the one they played against Barcelona.  Barcelona were very lucky in the game they played against Sevilla they were able to achieve full point despite Sevilla toughness.

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

I was a bit surprised to see the head to head statistics between Girona vs Real Madrid because from the last 3 meetings Real Madrid was unable to win from Girona and on April last season too Real Madrid have already lose with big scores 4-2 so this proven although Girona status as mediocre team in Laliga but they have been several times to make Real Madrid get in trouble so Girona cannot be underestimate in this match moreover Girona status is still unbeatable so clearly they are much better if we compared to their performance for last season

- Girona is one of Real Madrid's rivals, but Real Madrid has some advantages in this match, including the absence of two key Girona players, Toni Villa and Borja Garcia.
- In addition, Real Madrid welcomes back Vinicius Jr., so I believe they will have a good result against Girona.

I also think so, it is inappropriate to blame Ramos for the incident. Ramos was just unlucky. But even though he is old, Ramos is still quite direct in guarding the defense line.

It's common for defenders to score own goals, and Ramos shouldn't be criticized for it. Ramos' performance is still impressive, especially considering his age.

[rendravolt]

The game is very intense this second half, as Barca has shown much dominance and repeated attacks. Sergio Ramos presence at Sevilla defence is really giving the team some confidence. That's experience in display.
Lewandowski has really shown a great effort to score but the Sevilla goalie is another brilliant keeper mounting egd to edge on the goal post, at 72 minutes and his still keeping a clean sheet on this game with so much pressure from Barcelona.

Indeed, since Sergio Ramos has been around, Sevilla's defense line has become much stronger and more difficult to penetrate, but who would have thought that currently Barcelona is 1 goal ahead through an own goal from Sergio Ramos. It seems that we have too high expectations for Sergio Ramos in this match and Barcelona will definitely maintain this advantage until the final minute. I think Sevilla must improve the performance of its players in order to get better results, especially for the attack line which has felt less stable recently to be able to score goals.

I have seen before that Ramos was Barcelona's biggest enemy in La Liga, but today Ramos has become Barcelona's friend. just kidding
Barcelona won the match 1-0. And Barcelona's only goal was a mistake by Ramos. I don't see Ramos' fault here. Lamine Yamal had a nice header, and it accidentally hit the feet of Ramos. However, Barcelona were lucky. Ramos played well throughout the match. But in the end, it was Ramos who lost Sevilla.
Sevilla's performance in this match impressed me. Because in the past matches we have seen a messy performance from Sevilla. Sevilla's overall performance in today's match was quite good. If the team can improve a bit in attack, Sevilla will be able to move towards the top of the points table.

It's true that we know that Sergio Ramos has been Barcelona's enemy for years when he was a Real Madrid player and of course Sergio Ramos also wanted to tackle Barcelona in last night's match. But unfortunately, this time Sergio Ramos actually had bad luck and became the only player who benefited Barcelona with his own goal. Indeed, in this process Lamine Yamal seemed to have made the right decision, but when Sergio Ramos tried to block it, he accidentally hit his leg. At least Sevilla were able to play quite well despite the mistakes they made and they must remain confident in the next match and forget about this defeat.

Seville was becoming stronger with every round, Barcelona was really difficult to win this match, but they were still able to defeat and regain first place, at least until Girona and Real played their match. It is important for Seville to continue to take shape, they have a lot of important games in the Champions League in front, with such a game as they showed yesterday with Barcelona they will have good chances to try to take second place in the Group. Or, according to tradition, from the third place, try to win at EL. )

Barcelona got the three points yesterday against a weak Sevilla no matter that they mobilized and played well yesterday night against Barcelona,all the teams do though not only Sevilla.Barcelona came from a draw 2-2 against Mallorca in midweek and they needed a win yesterday night which they got and are calm now about what will happen next.

All the pressure is on Real Madrid tonight to win against Girona who strangely this year was in first place leading the La Liga until yesterday night and if they win against Real they got to first place again.It will surely be a difficult game tonight and I predict an over 2.5 goals bet as a safe one here.

It appeared to be an uncontested game for Xavi's side, but their relentless pressure on Sevilla broke the deadlock when Ramos had a deflection that led directly to the net, creating the difference on the scoresheet. Sergio Ramos impressed at Camp Nou against Barcelona.

Barcelona is now at the top of the standings even though this victory was created by Sergio Ramos' own goal, Lamine Yamal's header, whose intention was to provide a pass to his partner, touched Ramos' leg and he was unable to block it. I think in this match, Barcelona was unlucky not to be able to score a goal. even though, they have many opportunities. they had 4 shots on target out of 18 total shots, and 4 big chances.1 of them hit the goal post.
Sevilla goalkeeper Orjan Nyland made several brilliant saves, although in the end Ramos made a blunder with an own goal. Barca also won, although not as smoothly as we predicted and hoped.

On the other hand, Sevilla played quite well, especially the goalkeeper. they were able to put up resistance, even though they didn't have as many opportunities as Barcelona.
Well, in the next few hours, an important match will be held for both Girona and Real Madrid. The team that wins this match will automatically shift Barcelona's position at the top of the standings. and I hope that the two teams that will compete in this match will provide very interesting and exciting broadcasts to watch.

[Franctoshi]

Not only he will pick form, but the Spanish La Liga is a place where he spent quite a good number of years playing for Real Madrid, and he has become familiar with the league, therefore adapting is not going to be a thing of worry at Sevilla he just need more time to blend in with the team's pattern of play. Every player makes a mistake and this own goal of Ramos is not the first of its kind.

Ramos is entirely responsible for Sevilla's defeat against Barcelona. How could he make such a mistake in the end? Such a mistake was never expected from a world-class defender like him. The way he scored his team's goals, it felt like he was a Sevilla player and not a Barcelona player. I don't understand how he got the ball back from the point where he was standing.  

Own goals are not unusual. We have seen many players scoretheir  own goals before but in a different way.  

Ramos was standing slightly in front of the goalpostt, from where he was standing a defender would never pass the ball back because the empty goalpostt was right behind him but why did he pass the ball back?
He might be dropped from the team for the mistake he made.

No doubt, Sometimes own goal happens not only due to the fault of the player but also as a result of pressure coming from the opponent team Barca, and the blame should not only be on the shoulders of Ramos, if the team as a whole was containing or matching pressure with Barcelona, the opponent wouldn't have had the opportunity to near their eighteen-yard box let alone putting the defender Ramos on that pressure that resulted in him giving a wrong back pass from the head cross that caused the goal.

[Velvet78]

Ramos was so keen on scoring a goal against Barcelona but he scored an own goal instead.    But it was really unlucky for him of course. Sevilla were doing pretty good against them in this game actually. If this own goal didn't happen then maybe they could have even got a point in Camp Nou.

At least Sevilla didn't play very poorly. But they need to make some progress in their results as well. For example next time in the league they are hosting Vallecano. I would expect them to beat Vallecano without serious problems. Right after that they have a game against Real Madrid which is a really challenging fixture. 

[marcous]

Barcelona is now at the top of the standings even though this victory was created by Sergio Ramos' own goal, Lamine Yamal's header, whose intention was to provide a pass to his partner, touched Ramos' leg and he was unable to block it. I think in this match, Barcelona was unlucky not to be able to score a goal. even though, they have many opportunities. they had 4 shots on target out of 18 total shots, and 4 big chances.1 of them hit the goal post.

On the other hand, Sevilla played quite well, especially the goalkeeper. they were able to put up resistance, even though they didn't have as many opportunities as Barcelona.

The team that wins this match will automatically shift Barcelona's position at the top of the standings. and I hope that the two teams that will compete in this match will provide very interesting and exciting broadcasts to watch.

Yes, Ramos failed to anticipate the ball well, and if Sevilla can hold Barcelona to a draw, Orjan Nyland will definitely be Man of the Match. Barcelona failed to convert various opportunities into goals, which could have resulted in a bigger victory. Joao Cancelo came out as Man of the Match, the loan player's performance was quite impressive with the Blaugrana in that match. The standings will definitely change again after the results of the match between Girona and Madrid, I will wait for Girona to suffer their first defeat this season.

Girona is indeed in good form, but I think Madrid has all the attributes to give Girona a defeat this time. Los Blancos will be motivated to overtake Barcelona at the top, Ancelotti will not underestimate Girona and will field his best squad. A narrow victory was enough for Madrid, as capital to face defending Serie A champions Napoli in the next match.
