A new setback for FC Barcelona and victories for Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid have been the main protagonists of the weekend. Athletic Club, who beat Villarreal in a direct duel to close out the four Champions League places, close out the top half of the table. In the lower mid-table, Celta are breathing easy after beating Mallorca, while Valencia and Valladolid remain in the bottom half of the table. We begin with ‘LaLiga Overtime’ from matchday 16.
LaLiga Overtime 24/25 – Match Day #16:
Barça crash at the Villamarín:
Flick’s side were weak again and struggled again away from home against a great Betis side. Pellegrini‘s side suffered from a lack of goals and conceded a point in the last minute when Assane Diao scored. The feelings of the ‘Culés’ are much improved and they continue to show a certain defensive fragility.
They were capable of hurting Barça and creating a lot of danger for Iñaki Peña’s goal. In addition, Isco’s return to the field of play added to these good sensations.
Real Madrid are back to life in Girona:
Carlo Ancelotti’s side put in a great second half performance at Montilivi to win the game emphatically. Jude Bellingham is still on a roll and scored and set up Arda Güler for the second. The Englishman is being the leader of a Real Madrid team that suffered a lot in the first minutes of the game.
The Catalans tried especially in the first half, but found Courtois again and again. In the second half, the home side slowed down and Real Madrid took control of the game.
Atlético de Madrid win in stoppage time:
The red-and-white side ended up taking the most entertaining game of the day. Antoine Griezmann was the MVP of a match that confirms Simeone‘s side as candidates for everything. The other positive news was the contribution of Samu Lino, who seemed to be out of form.
As for Sevilla, García Pimienta’s side gave a good impression and offered a very positive image, with Isaac Romero’s first goal of the season standing out.
