Many people said before the start of the match that Barcelona's match against Atletico Madrid will not be easy at all, but Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid with a huge margin of 3-0 in the last match, considering Atletico Madrid as a very easy opponent. Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid by a huge margin of 3-0 in the last match and are now second in the points table with 2 points ahead of Girona. Girona held the top position in the points table for a long time but their performances have been deteriorating and as their performances have been deteriorating they have been steadily falling down the points table. First they lost the top position of the points table to Real Madrid, then they lost their second position to Barcelona due to the points from the last match. In the future, if they cannot improve their performance, their performance may deteriorate further.
I think it's normal because both teams are strong teams and in the last 3 matches they always ended with 1 goal so obviously no one thought that Barcelona would score 3 goals, on the other hand, Barcelona succeeded in achieving its mission by taking 2nd place. We understand Barcelona have been eyeing that position since the last few weeks when Girona experienced a decline in performance well today is the right time to do it, meanwhile Atletico Madrid still needs to fight to get 4th place.
Do you think Atletico Madrid will miss the Champions League next season or Girona and Athletic Club will take part there? this is not easy to predict, especially as Athletic Club seems to be starting to stabilize in the last 2 matches, even if Atletico Madrid has to move up to the top 4 then I think Girona should out because Atletico Madrid looked more appropriate.
Today match did show surprising results, many people thought this would be fierce match because Atletico Madrid is also team that cannot be underestimated and could even provide surprise by beating Barcelona.
It just that Atletico Madrid playing style looks really bad because there are several conditions that look very messy, especially for their defense line, there are several opportunities that they fail to block and allow Barcelona to score 3 goals easily.
This victory made Barcelona much more enthusiastic about continuing their struggle in the La Liga competition by maintaining their position to remain in second place until they actually came out as runners-up.
All Barcelona can do is maintain their position, in contrast to several teams below them who may be in state of competition for places to finish this season.
I don't know what will happen in the future, but I not really sure that Atletico Madrid will be able to get UCL ticket next season because there are several things that could influence Atletico Madrid failure to improve its standings.
There are matches against Bilbao and also Girona, these are two matches that could make it difficult for Atletico Madrid to improve their standings.
