Barcelona failed in the match with Granada, Atlético could not beat Villarreal, however this result was fair as Villarreal played very well. Teams from 3rd to 10th place continue to go in a very dense group and after each round their position can change a lot.

The result of the match between Barcelona and Granada is not surprising. Barcelona is still a weak team. Xavi is working hard to stabilize the team. But he cannot succeed. Because there are not enough talented players in the team. They need experienced and talented players. Especially they need a skilled striker. Barcelona has a lot of problems scoring goals.
I thought Atletico Madrid would win against Villarreal. But Atletico's performance was weak. Villarreal have drawn this match though. But I would say they deserve to win this match. They played very well.

Barcelona of course is a weak team now (compared to the past) but not so much as not to be able to beat Granada, right? I think there are more and more questions for Xavi.

The round turned out to be very interesting - out of the first ten teams, only Real, Sevilla and Real Sociedad were able to win. Statistically, this is a fairly rare event.

Sevilla defeated Getafe 1-0, which gave Real Madrid a nightmare. I expected them to play a comfortable match, but I was wrong. They scored the goal in the middle of the first half. Getafe could have given Sevilla a nightmare too. It's been a good week for Sevilla. They still have 5 points between Real Madrid. Moreover, Sevilla is missing a game. I attribute the low number of victorious teams out of the top 10 to the quality of La Liga. Even Getafe can beat Real Madrid when it comes to a quality league. A league open to all scores.

I do not believe that Real is afraid of Sevilla's persecution. Everyone understands that Sevilla does not have the resources to be successful until the very end of the championship and it will have more points loss than Real Madrid. But the failures of Atletico and Barcelona please Real Madrid, since these teams are its real rivals, but have already fallen behind too far and have no chance of returning to the fight.
