La Liga matchday 9 : Granada vs Barcelona
Under pressure for Barcelona against Granada depend current teams standing on relegation zone because their rival standings team above Real Madrid and Girona get positive result on last match. Girona who second standings position awhile success take three points against Cadiz and Real Madrid who manage top position standing success defeated Osasuna and have 2 points gap from Girona on second placed.
Barcelona should take three points against Granada if want back to second place, due their composition not complete yet after Robert Lewandowski got injury and right now they have several players absent such as Pedri and Frenkie De Jong will make difficult choose for Xavi Hernandez who will replace crucial position.
Certain Barcelona will not get it easy tonight still on, the win is sure they're without se quality players though but victory would be sure at the end of the game.
Atletico Madrid are scoring more goals that they do before, that's beautiful to see. They should have ended up with the game sealed bit that late penalty awarded changed everything for good.
A tough game between Alaves and Real Betis. Former Manchester City manager Pelligrini and his side are struggling. They scored a nice one by Ayoze Perez after the shot which the keeper failed to punch out. Bellerin also scored the own goal that put the score level.
Mason Greenwood with a goal tonight, fabulous!
The top of the table is still very close and Girona keeps on delivering these great performances. They were promoted into La Liga just two years ago and finished the last season as 10th and as it looks now they are ready to take the next step and make further progress. This looks very solid and stable so far, no real signs of weaknesses and no crack in their outstanding shape which they have been showing for weeks now. I think the first goal for them is to play like this until the season halftime and then make a first evaluation and set their goals. With 22 points won already it is hard to imagine how they could still be dealing with the relegation zone at some point.
