Betis - Girona was a balanced game in general. Girona started to accept the game in their half after getting ahead by 1-0. Betis tried to improve their attacks more in the second half and they got what they wanted in the last minutes finally. For once I thought Girona were really going to be victorious in this quite challenging away game.
In the end Real Madrid also got a 1-1 draw against Betis away recently. Girona also got the same result. If Real Madrid don't make big mistakes they should be able to beat Alaves easily. This must be enough to carry them to the top in the standings if I'm not wrong.
When I saw that Real Betis was playing Girona yesterday, I knew that Real Betis would not play Girona like that. They are a very strong team this season, and we should also keep in mind that it is very difficult to defeat them. Even when Real Madrid plays Real Betis, the match ends in a draw because Real Betis also has good players, especially in the midfield. Because of this, I did not expect Girona to defeat Real Betis, and I was not surprised when the match ended in a draw.
Lucky lucky lucky win for 10 man Real Madrid!!

The La Liga title race is on!!!
What a fortunate game for Real Madrid! To be honest, I did not think they would beat Deportivo Alaves again because they were down to ten players, including the goalkeeper, after Nachos was given a red card during the match. This had many believing that Real Madrid would not win, but Lucas' goal at the 92-minute mark changed the game because Deportivo was unable to respond. I believe Real Madrid needs a centre back player because if they don't have one, it will negatively impact them. The fact that Ancelotti can be so stubborn at times that he refuses to purchase players makes it impossible for him to use Tchoumeni, who is a very good centre back, in a 4 position. Instead of using Kroos and Modric simultaneously, it would be better if he starts with Modric and reserves Kroos for the second hand because of their advanced age.
