Barcelona won with a strong play and left no room for surprises. Even though their claim to the championship ended a long time ago, they show that they will not give up second place. When Xavi leaves, he wants to at least finish 2nd in the league. It was also interesting that Barca scored 4 goals today and Lewandowski didn't score. Fermin Lopez was finally able to score another goal. Lamine Yamal didn't take time today.
the 4-0 victory over getafe successfully put barcelona in second place in the current la liga standings and this is really good. raphinha managed to make 1 goal and 1 assist, he performed extraordinary, i am optimistic about what barcelona will achieve this season, even though they are not able to overtake madrid because the point difference is quite large, but i see barcelona is still a strong team.
Outstanding performances from all of players who scored in this match. Lewandowski is always playing so terribly, he has lost his instinct to be a good striker. It's time for barcelona to search for a new striker to score. Lewandowski is too old for this mission. Finally, barcelona is below real madrid again after girona was consistently climbing up.
I thought that barcelona will not be so consistent like this but my guess that if the message from xavi to leave from barcelona at the end of season has motivated the players to give special gift to him. Xavi may be also be changing his mind again to stay even longer in the club.
This will be obviously helping the club a lot. Barcelona has been performing very well since the early season before it was struggle to get some points at the middle of season. The defensive line of barcelona looks like even more solid compared to the previous games.
Xavi needs to explore more possibilites to rotate its players, Barcelona needs to make sure its players will be in healthy condition when it will face so many games to come in the future.
while atletico madrid were held to a draw by almeria, atletico madrid failed to maintain the game they had mastered since the start of the match, this made atletico have to settle for remaining in 4th position.
Unbelievable result for sure, i could not even imagine this result was happening tot he atletico madrid. Atletico was not fully owning the game. Almeria played better in this game. Even though almeria was losing in the total shoots and goal attempts but it does have better accuracy compared to the atletico madrid.
I could not even believe it how almeria was preventing atletico madrid to get full points. This result will not affect the chance for atletico madrid to qualify for UCL next season.
