Girona's defeat against Vilarreal never occurred to me...

After securing the Champions League ticket Girona started to play more complacently which is normal. First a draw against Alaves and now a loss at home. Probably Barcelona will finish the season at the second position from now on. They continue to win after that Girona loss. Xavi wants to finish at the best position they can at least.

Maybe not mathematically but Atletico Madrid are also going to the Champions League obviously. Athletic Bilbao started to mess up earlier and that Atletico Madrid loss just ended their hopes. Still it is a great season for them with a Copa del Rey title. 

Girona has already achieved its goal. That's why we can say that they are comfortable. They will be one of the teams that will play in the Champions League next year in La Liga. That's why we can say that they didn't care about the last matches. Now the league is over and the main target is what position they will be in next year. I don't think we care much about these losses.

I think it depended on whether or not Ancelotti decides to let his best squad play and he did. He even decided to not give a break to Bellingham at all, he let him go full distance and I suspected he would do it because he doesn't want his best squad to not be playing at all until the Champions League final. But you can see that he chose this game and maybe next game, but I am pretty sure most of the players will get a full break on matchday 38.

I think it is the right approach although there is still a little risk for injuries, but highly competitive professionals need the game, they need practice to stay in shape. Putting them on the bench for three weeks to then hope that they can play their best has never convinced me when coaches did that in the past. But Ancelotti is a smart guy. He keeps them in shape and there you go, Bellingham contributed 1 goal and 2 assists. That's what a guy like him needs to feel fresh and focused.

Madrid boys have always had a good game for the team even though more than much is been  expected from them but for a game in a every competition, they always did really good. This only resonates the sermons of how well built up Real Madrid squad is. The young players are definitely an extra advantage to the team's strength.

 Ancelloti has been able to bring up his boys into more fury and it's exactly what they need to stay strong. There's good coordination and the zeal is always up for them. It's very much good that the team has been able to stay strong up until now and they seem undaunted too. It'll be more beautiful to watch these present Madrid perform at their peak even up till next season, the players are gaining good level of experience and it's working out good on them.

 I believe there's still a whole lot more to expect from the Spanish side next season. It just seems to me like they've got a balanced squad that's fit to bring down any team that may try to feel like giants. The retainment and addition to their squad list ahead of the coming season speaks a whole lot of danger zone ahead. Ancelloti is really moulding up a fearless and dreadful team and it's amazing how he's so much confident in the ability of his boys to deliver no matter the goal line.

We can hope for the better next season because they are doing good job in last few matches and things are taking good turn for them with most chances they are going to end their season at the second spot even in last few games they are having defeats against Real Madrid and Girona but still they are giving their best which is clearly showing they are competing for the top spots in future as well.

This season is indeed a difficult season for Barcelona. Barcelona has a very large point difference from Real Madrid. Madrid has really performed very solidly this season and they have the potential to win the treble. But I think this is still quite a point difference. There are many evaluations that Barcelona must carry out. I think we can't blame Xavi for the bad results this season. Xavi has really worked very hard even though he has many problems at the club such as salaries and the financial crisis. I hope next season Barcelona can solve their various problems this season.

In the last match Girona lost by Villarreal with a narrow score of 0-1 and at least, I was wrong to choose and also expect Girona to win in the home match. Because anyway, even though Girona played at home, Girona was also unable to score in the match. There are still two matches left for Girona and there are still three matches left for Barcelona but unfortunately, Barcelona will still play against a team like Sevilla and it will not be completely easy either. But indeed, at least Barcelona still have a great chance of finishing as runners up and anyway, even if Barcelona only finish in third place I don't think it matters because they will still get a Champions League ticket.

Barcelona no longer has the opportunity to catch up and take the first position occupied by Real Madrid, it is certain that Real Madrid will become champions in La Liga this season. Keep playing calmly and make sure that there is no chaos that could harm Real Madrid because so far Real Madrid has put in quite a lot of effort. Real Madrid has spent a lot of money, energy and time to give their best contribution this season and it paid off with the victory they were able to achieve.

La Liga was entertaining all through because we gets to watch competitive race for the league title between Real Madrid, Girona and Barcelona but it happen that Girona and Barca fall out of the race and Real Madrid stands. Girona are rival for Real Madrid but they couldn't balance and maintain their spot to win. Real Madrid is the best team, everyone acknowledged them as Champions. They've put in the work to reach this top level and Carlo Ancelotti receives his accolades. Los Blancos have turned out to become a prestigious team that aims for goals which they eventually accomplished with eliminating their pressure.

It's not that interesting in my opinion, because in the end Girona, who at first could provide tough competition, had to be eliminated because they experienced a decline which ultimately made them move away from Real Madrid. On the other hand, Real Madrid can comfortably be at the top of the standings without the significant pressure that their competitors can exert.

Real Madrid are on a different level this season, they are tough and very difficult to beat. Until week 36 they only lost once, that is a statistic that if you compare it with other clubs you will see a difference. I want to see even tighter competition next season, I hope they can compete fiercely until the end of the season. Like only the English League, we can still enjoy their afternoons until the last match of the season. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid must be able to improve their performance next season to be able to present an interesting competition.

The 1-0 defeat means that Girona has to drop to 3rd place in the La Liga standings, and this means that Barcelona automatically has a big chance of finishing in 2nd place until the season ends, especially since Barcelona's next opponent is Almeria, there is little chance that Barcelona will lose this match.

I was watching the match between Cadiz vs Sevilla, Cadiz played very hard, their position is in the relegation zone, this is very dangerous so Cadiz is definitely looking for victory in this match, but looking at their quality, it seems that Sevilla will win, with the possibility narrow score 1-0.

Why are the teams playing during the weekdays and weekends, like pushing the games together? Would it be way too hard to make the league end a week later and put all the games on the weekends? Feels like they mismanaged because at the end of the day they still have same amount of weeks as most other leagues and they didn't need to play during the weekdays.

This could be one of the reasons why Girona couldn't get better, in the end they were tired and even the morale didn't get back up this quickly. All in all I am expecting Barcelona to capitalize on this and get another win and guarantee their spot for sure, but if not, they still have a chance because they are still ahead of Girona even if they lose tomorrow.

Girona may have lost, but if we look at the statistics, we saw that they were the effective team throughout the match. Villarreal scored 1 goal and managed to keep it. Even though Girona tried hard, it didn't work and they couldn't continue. Since they could not draw or win, we can say that they ended all hopes for second place. It's been a good season for them. They were in the championship race almost until the last matches.

[Alpha Marine]

Xavi Hernández stay at the Barcelona is going to be positive new even they are facing huge financial problems with things are going to be in positive way as we are having updates about Barcelona is going to sell few high salaried players who are going to cut their financial problems with they are also going to have few new players which are much needed for them in these circumstances because if they want to challenge Real Madrid then surely changes are essential for them with changes they can't compete at the top level.

If Xavi wants to succeed next season he has to change his tactics. His team has to be more daring, they have to be more direct, they have to create a lot of chances, and always be a threat to their opponents. This season in most matches Barcelona played without much threat. They just relied on passing the ball around. Playing like that is good, but they have to keep pressing the opposition instead of just keeping them relaxed.

Another thing that's going to help Barcelona compete next season is how well they do in the transfer market. Real Madrid has a goal of winning the league back to back because they haven't done that since 2008, and we can see how well they're preparing, so if Barcelona wants to be able to compete with Real Madrid, they have to sign good players.

[ingiltere]

If Atletico Madrid beat Getafe today, their chances of getting past Girona will still remain alive. Atletico Madrid is in good form having won their last 3 matches. I think they will win today too. They won the last 2 matches by one goal, they play like Atletico as we know. They remain solid in defense and don't concede goals. The match in the first half of the league was very interesting, there were red card, penalties, goals, everything. I expect this match to be calmer.

[dezoel]

Girona defeats was expected because they've earned themselves solidable positions. They put up to be one of the fierce opponents. There's always opportunities for clubs to picked themselves up during down times but not every clubs possibly deliver themselves to the top. Girona not in good form but somehow they've managed to reach qualified spot for the UEFA Champions League next season although there's fast matters arising regarding their stats.  

Girona inconsistent performance makes it difficult for them to regain second place. Barcelona, who will face Almeria in the 36th game, will try to take advantage of their opponent's weaknesses to get three points while securing second place. Girona, who are certain to qualify for the Champions League next season, must improve their performance if they don't want to be eliminated early. The defeat against Villarreal was a lesson for them to always maintain their performance in order to achieve positive results. This season has been passed perfectly even though its performance is still up and down, Girona must be more active in the transfer market to increase its strength next season in preparation for competition in the Champions League and maintain the opportunity to compete again in the top four.

Girona is having serious problems into their defense which needs to be fixed because now they are heading for big challenges, and they needed to be had things at the top level in last ten games we are having 4 defeats for them with 13 goals conceded which are most in top five spots with their attack is also not active as they were having in early half of this season which is another problem for them after their win against Barcelona this was expecting they are going to be at the second but suddenly in last two games they are having problematic end which create problems and now chances are nearly ended for them to end at the second spot.

Atlético Madrid is now having tough game against Getafe which can go either way but in case of win for them things could be on better way for them to have finished into top four without any serious trouble.

Madrid thrashed Alaves on the night they celebrated their La Liga trophy. It was an impressive performance with a big margin. They're not just at the top, but 17 points clear of second-placed Barcelona. Real Madrid is the most successful club in the world for a reason. If not for Real Madrid, where else could I find such excitement and happiness? Only Madrid match brings me so much joy. They are the kings of Spain and Europe, now aiming for their 15th UCL title. No one expects Dortmund to stop them. Madrid is dangerous, and with their first-choice goalkeeper back, they'll surely start in the UCL final. The pressure is immense, and no one comes close. Best wishes to Real Madrid!

The records Madrid have got across Europe is no doubt not contestable because the records are so much spamming through a very long period of time that it took them to achieve such results, they have been able to make a solid name both in the la Liga and across all European leagues where they have participated over the years meanwhile their opponent is seemingly the opposite of Madrid.

There's one thing I've always known about the champions league and that's the spirit that comes with it, invariably I'm saying any team that has been able to get to the finals, regardless of their status and records so far, they deserve some accolades because it's a serious league and getting to the finals alone is a display of firmness and a strong winning mentality so Dortmund shouldn't be seen any less even if they obviously don't have much champions league experience but they  have been able to make it through to the finals which some other top and experienced teams couldn't.

Dortmund have been above average in their domestic league and have a few champions league experience, let's keep in mind that this is not the first time Dortmund is getting to the finals, this is about the third time they are gotten to the champions league final since the inception of the champions league of which they have wine one of it, so it's not like they are totally inexperienced in the champions league so let's not underrate Dortmund as they are experienced in the champions league, so let's just keep an open mind to it and hope for the best results.

Girona still maintained the third position but they are not in a good position to hold the position. A win would have moved them to second position but this loss keeps them in third position five points above Atlético Madrid. They already have a champion league position but they can lose it if City Group fails to reduce their ownership to less than 30%. UEFA regulations on multiple ownership of clubs forbid two clubs owned by one management to compete in a single competition without reducing their stake in the club.

I was watching the match between Cadiz vs Sevilla, Cadiz played very hard, their position is in the relegation zone, this is very dangerous so Cadiz is looking for victory in this match, but looking at their quality, it seems that Sevilla will win, with the possibility narrow score 1-0.

The first 45 minutes have been played and the match is still 0-0. Cádiz is doing a good job to win this match. They have more shots and targets and have 42% ball possession. They need to win this game to have hope of remaining in the Spanish top flight next season. This match might end in a draw or the relegation-fighting team might win by a lone goal. After all, Sevilla has nothing to lose.

Girona still maintained the third position but they are not in a good position to hold the position. A win would have moved them to second position but this loss keeps them in third position five points above Atlético Madrid.

As you mentioned, Girona already secured a position for Champions League next season and ending second or third will not be that important for them. They showed high qualities more than expected and they have to maintain a performance similar to this in the next season.
Their defeat by one goal against Villarreal was unfortunate so they will have to win the other matches to avoid seeing Atletico Madrid passing in front of them.

[Insanity]

Xavi Hernández stay at the Barcelona is going to be positive new even they are facing huge financial problems with things are going to be in positive way as we are having updates about Barcelona is going to sell few high salaried players who are going to cut their financial problems with they are also going to have few new players which are much needed for them in these circumstances because if they want to challenge Real Madrid then surely changes are essential for them with changes they can't compete at the top level.

Yes Barcelona need to practice hard with signing good players to compete with Real Madrid. So that Barcelona can proceed with full force. Barcelona have managed to change themselves a lot at the moment. As a fan of Barcelona I am hopeful that Barcelona can definitely show something good. I never imagined that Barcelona would be able to maintain such a good consistency at the end of this season. Because Barcelona's performance has been disappointing since the beginning of this season. But coming to the last stage, Barcelona managed to make a good place in La Liga.

Girona still maintained the third position but they are not in a good position to hold the position. A win would have moved them to second position but this loss keeps them in third position five points above Atlético Madrid.

Their defeat by one goal against Villarreal was unfortunate so they will have to win the other matches to avoid seeing Atletico Madrid passing in front of them.

They have 2 matches left to play and they need to get at least 1 win. Girona have to at least finish the league in third place. The Champions League is a difficult tournament. Just taking part in this tournament will be a tremendous success and experience for Girona. They should increase their success in the remaining matches so that they can be more motivated to prepare for next year.

After securing the Champions League ticket Girona started to play more complacently which is normal. First a draw against Alaves and now a loss at home. Probably Barcelona will finish the season at the second position from now on. They continue to win after that Girona loss. Xavi wants to finish at the best position they can at least.

Maybe not mathematically but Atletico Madrid are also going to the Champions League obviously. Athletic Bilbao started to mess up earlier and that Atletico Madrid loss just ended their hopes. Still it is a great season for them with a Copa del Rey title. 

They must be feeling very relaxed and stuff right now I see after that announcement that they have successfully qualified for the Champions League Competition next season.
Who cares if Barcelona finishes above them? Lol. I hope they don't do this though next season because they will definitely be chocked up with lots of game to play both in the Champions League Competition and them Domestic League Competition.

Xavi Hernandez has too much to do next season if he wants to win the La Liga Competition, I don't want to add further comments about him but I'm anticipating to see his signatures for the new season.

For the game between Cadiz and Sevilla, Cadiz should have been two goals ahead frommtye first half because they have been the more direct side who wants the win tonight.

[Silence Scream]

The Real Madrid team proved once again that they are still going hard and continue to work hard enough. The goals they scored against Alaves won the match in style, much to the delight of Real Madrid fans. Although this season they are champions and are in the best position in La Liga and the improvement in their game is really interesting. Real Madrid has played the best in La Liga this season which is why they are still at the top and since they are champions they will surely perform well next season. Also, the excitement that Real Madrid is in at the moment, they will win the Champions League and the trophy, and I think this season is another happy time for Real Madrid. And since Real Madrid managed to win the La Liga trophy, it is very happy for Madrid statement, moreover, there is another trophy waiting for UCL, it will definitely be in the hands of Madrid.

Madrid thrashed Alaves on the night they celebrated their La Liga trophy. It was an impressive performance with a big margin. They're not just at the top, but 17 points clear of second-placed Barcelona. Real Madrid is the most successful club in the world for a reason. If not for Real Madrid, where else could I find such excitement and happiness? Only Madrid match brings me so much joy. They are the kings of Spain and Europe, now aiming for their 15th UCL title. No one expects Dortmund to stop them. Madrid is dangerous, and with their first-choice goalkeeper back, they'll surely start in the UCL final. The pressure is immense, and no one comes close. Best wishes to Real Madrid!

Real Madrid is one of the best teams in the world, perhaps the best. Even though they are currently the championship team, they still continue to play matches with their best performance. By the way, we are very happy to watch our Turkish Diamond Arda Güler and see him score goals in every match. As the Turkish people, we are completely behind him.
