Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid can only compete to reach the standings of Barcelona but we know how everything is flowing through. Barcelona have proven to be the main contender for the La Liga title this season. They're beating every oppositions with ease efforts, always coming from behind to surpass their rivalries. Hansi Flick is happy with the club, he's controlling the club to his own very taste. The manager inculcate winning mentality towards his players and this have helped them in every substantial crucial scenario.
Barcelona beat Atletico more modestly this time, they scored only one goal, but the most important thing is that it was enough for the victory, and they also dominated this match. They will play the next match with Betis, also a strong opponent who has clearly progressed in recent matches. Real will play with Valencia, it seems that the match should be easier for them, but Valencia is near the relegation zone and they will definitely care about getting points even in such a difficult match.
The recent Copa dey Ray Barcelona played with Atletico de Madrid was very tough and the result even confirm's it though I was expecting more than that from Barcelona but it appears Atletico de Madrid was very strong and almost draw the match if not that the goal didn't stand. Barcelona have a very tough match this week, Real betis is quite inform this season and Barcelona has champions league next week so I am wondering if they will reserve play or not because of the champions league and if they should reserve players it will be somehow for them today.
Barcelona definitely have a lot of crucial games to play and as such, i think they will be needing the services of all their players, they need to maintain their top spot on the league table, so the game with Real Betis will not be compromised by dropping key players, Betis are in good form this period, so Barca will be coming all out, on Wednesday they will be playing against Borussia Dortmund which I think is a very unpredictable game because Dortmund is a team that is full of surprises, so I believe they also would need every player to be in their top gear.
It will not be easy for Barcelona at all, because these two teams are currently very strong. Even with a full squad, Barcelona will need to put in more extra effort to win against such team like Real betis. So, I don't think Barcelona will bench any of their players for the Champions League. Doing that may cause them to drop points, and dropping points against Real Betis may cost them to lose the La Liga trophy they've been fighting for this season.
It's better for Barcelona to use all their players and play this match against Real Betis with full strength, so they can secure the points. In fact, based on my observation, I feel that the Real Betis match will even be tougher than the Dortmund match in the Champions League. The way Real Betis has been playing recently shows that anything can happen they draw or even try to win.
If Barcelona can escape this Real Betis match without dropping any points, I would say they have a better chance of winning the La Liga title this season. Real Betis is one of the toughest matches remaining for Barcelona, and I know the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid will be like a war.
