The Spanish La Liga has experienced quite a few changes every weekend as the race for the title hots up after Real Madrid were held to a draw.
Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona are both looking to capitalise on Real Madrid's jam-packed fixture schedule to maintain pressure in the La Liga title race this weekend.
La Liga leaders Real Madrid will be hosting their neighbours Atletico Madrid for the second Madrid Derby this season.
Valencia and Real Madrid get the La Liga underway in 2025 on Friday in a match that could see Real go top, ahead of cross-town rivals Atletico and five points clear of archrivals FC Barcelona.
Diego Simeone has been named the Best La Liga Coach in December, an award for Atletico de Madrid’s sensational month of December which has seen the club rise to the top of the standings in the league.
As far as Manchester City are concerned, they would not like their star player Raheem to part ways with them.
One of the reasons for Messi threatening to leave the club is because he is disappointed with the quality of the team at the moment.
Xavi has already proven his skills as a player for Barcelona and has been a former teammate of Messi. Seeing his team in trouble, Messi wants his former teammate to take charge of the team and help change Barcelona’s fortunes.
He moreover added that Barcelona need to analyse what they are doing correctly so that they can rectify their mistakes and perform better ahead.
His performances for Barcelona were not quite up to the mark and thus he failed to cement his place among the regular starters in the squad. Eventually, he was drafted out of the team.
