One hour left before facing Real Betis, Carlo Ancelotti as Madrid's head coach have released starting line up and have good news because Mbappe already for playing at the early minutes after absent when facing Real Sociedad. But have another bad news for Madrid fans because Valverde not in the list main player or at the bench and looks he still injury due absent last match at Copa del rey.
Its opportunity for Madrid because playing early than Atletico and Barcelona for moving to first standings position awhile waiting for Barcelona match result tomorrow against Sociedad.
The match is over and Real Betis won 2-1. An unexpected result...
Real Madrid has become a kind of team at the bottom of the standings that gives their opponents all the power to press and attack Real Madrid's goal.
And My man of the match was Isco! What a game from a former Madrid midfielder.
Now it's time for Barca to widen the points gap between the two club
If peradventure Barcelona wins their tomorrow match, they will be three points above Real Madrid, not that much to give up Real Madrid not having the chance to come top of the LaLiga table. The league is still open for two of the top teams(Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid) we have in mind to stay above Barcelona. Barcelona will not win their whole match, they will lose one or two of their match before the end of the season, if really they will lift the LaLiga trophy of 2024/2025
Sure the league is still open for the top three teams to win because the points game is not much and from the start of the season these three teams have been climbing up the league table and coming down so am not really surprised about Barcelona climbing up the table because I know it's not going to be easy for them maintaining that top spots, but for madrid disappointing result for them seeing them lose at this point where the league is at a critical stage but great performance by betis this win against Madrid has taken them to 6th place on the table
A team being at the top of a league table and maintaining it, that's where the pressure lies because the team will be filled with the responsibility of maintaining their good form so that the teams below them won't top them.
Anyway, let's see what the scoreline of Barcelona would look like tomorrow since Real Madrid has lost their match today, and Atletico Madrid has won theirs to top the table ahead of Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Barcelona winning tomorrow's match against Real Sociedad will have them top the table back, followed by Atletico Madrid appearing at second spot, Real Madrid third spot
