Previously, Madrid had denied rumors of an agreement with Mbappe on their official website, this was a reaction to various reports which stated that Madrid and Mbappe had reached an agreement. After that, until now we have not heard any statement regarding Mbappe, either from himself, PSG or Madrid in an official context. Madrid will position itself as a dream club for all player, including Mbappe. We have repeatedly seen situations where Madrid always has a better bargaining value than any club, not just money, but a guarantee of winning. I believe Mbappe has a big desire to leave PSG and join Santiago Bernebeu, but after all the scenarios that have happened, I will just choose to see how the transfer negotiations end.

I agree with you, it's time to stop hoping for Man United. whatever the future scenario, what is clear is that it is very difficult, because their fate really depends on other matches, relying on the Copenhagen vs Galatasaray match. Even progressing to the Europa League is very difficult, I don't know what Ten Hag is doing at United at the moment.

I am very curious to what extent the club top officials will continue to maintain their position as head coach, or whether they will return to supporting Ten Hag by giving him a large budget next january, to continue building the club according to his standards and wishes. I think sooner or later, there will be a push from fans asking for Ten Hag to be fired.

With all due respect to Ten Hag and The Red Devils, Galatasaray or Copenhagen are more worthy of accompanying Bayern to advance to the round of 16. looking further ahead, it looks like The Red Devils will most likely miss out on appearing in the UCL, unless they manage to improve their performance and finish in the top four of the EPL standings when the season ends.

Times change and we change with them, that's what happened with the fate of Manchester United. It is quite difficult to accept the fact that Newcastle deserves to be at the top, and we have to say that it is true, because we have seen what Ten Hag has done with his players so far. In the past, it would have been very easy for us to say that United would definitely secure full points if they faced Newcastle, but now we have to research, check and consider carefully before saying that.

The mentality of The Red Devils squad is at its lowest point after trying his luck at UCL, and the pressure they are currently experiencing is extremely heavy. As if all the struggles they had put in were in vain, only luck could save them at St James Park later. It's quite dramatic, but that's what we feel right now, they haven't changed, Ten Hag consistently makes fans hearts beat every week.

Finally, Juventus can overtake Inter Milan at the top of the standings, one mission has been successfully carried out, all that remains is to hope and support Napoli to overcome Inter's steps so that they can stay in first place. Alleggri will be very grateful if that happens, however I tend to think that the Napoli versus Inter match will end in a draw, but we'll see. What is clear is that this match is really worth waiting for, because it determines the top of the standings.

In terms of quality, Inter is still better than any team in Serie A, even Juventus. Not without reason, we can refer to the standings as proof, the number of goals scored, the number of goals conceded and the depth of the squad between the two puts them ahead in the hunt for the Scudetto. But this time, Napoli will test the advantages that Inter has, with new coach Walter Mazzarri.

For consideration, I prefer the match between Napoli vs Inter to be avoided. Because it is quite difficult to predict the final result, although I have said above that this match is likely to end in a draw.

Sevilla needs a miracle to qualify, not to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League, but to qualify for the play-off round of the Europa League by finishing in 3rd place in group B. There is only one condition, namely, to beat Lens with a large goal margin, to win on goal difference. because the number of points for both of them will be the same, namely 5 points. However, I already think that this scenario seems very difficult to realize.

Sevilla fate is very tragic, I think the club with the most potential to enter the European League from the UCL is Newcastle. This is a club that the two existing favorite teams, Liverpool and Laverkusen, must pay close attention to. Actually, I hope Man United can continue their steps here, but the situation is no better than Sevilla in group B.

Even though it is only a second caste competition at European level, I am quite sure of the competitive level of competition that takes place here, it takes a big fight to become champion. In fact, I think the European League sometimes presents more surprises than the UCL, because the big clubs that compete here often underestimate their opponents. Like Liverpool being beaten by Toulouse, who would have thought that could happen.

For Madrid a large goal margin is not a priority, they are focused on securing 3 points over Granada. No matter how strong the resistance that Granada will provide, they need a miracle to bring Madrid to their knees. I think the maximum strength that Granada can display is to force Madrid to share the points, apart from that I think it's just an impossibility.

Madrid needs 3 points to confirm its position in the standings, making a distance from Girona, ATM and Barcelona. This is a good opportunity, a moment that must be taken care of, even though we know several important players in the squad are injured, it is not a big problem, and I believe Ancelotti will finish this match as planned.

On the other hand, I have little hope of seeing Arda Guler debut in this match, since he was brought in last summer from Fernerbahche we have not seen him appear in a Los Blancos shirt. Ancelotti must give him confidence, I believe he can be a solution in the injury storm, and Guler has the prospect of developing into a better one. However, I don't know for sure what is causing Guler not to get playing minutes apart from injury, he should have made his debut for Los Blancos.

Matchday 6 against Dortmund is everything for PSG. I still think they have a good chance of winning and progressing to the last 16, considering the pressure Enrique is under. After all, he has a better squad than the other three teams in group F. However, the Spanish coach does not have enough time to build the squad according to his wishes this season. But I don't think that can be an excuse, and they have to maximize what they have.

PSG fate is in their own hands, and that is still a good thing. Unlike Manchester United in group A, they do not have to depend on the results of other teams. This life or death match will be a test of Enrique managerial abilities, but I remain confident that his experience can take PSG to the round of 16. Newcastle or Milan will have to settle for advancing to the Europa League playoffs.

I read in the local news that the VAR officials at the PSG vs Newcastle match had been sanctioned by UEFA. This is in response to a controversial decision which is considered detrimental to Newcastle.

That right, Serie A is the only hope for Juventus this season. I think Juventus should be able to win the match against Monza, considering that this is the best opportunity to top the standings and overtake Inter Milan. because we know that Napoli will face Inter, it is a tough match for both clubs and will most likely end in a draw. If Napoli succeeds in holding back Inter progress, then alleggri squad will have to thank Napoli new coach Walter Mazzarri, although I understand that this is not an easy thing to happen. I don't think Monza has the same luck as Sassuolo, meaning they can make a surprise and succeed in overthrowing Juventus. this time, even though they are acting as guests, I am quite sure that Vlahovic and his colleagues can overcome Monza resistance easily and bring home 3 points to Turin.

Bayern Munchen goal productivity in the Bundesliga is commonplace. With Kane as the spearhead, Tuchel squad has unrivaled sharpness, naturally it matches Kane price. this dominance while impressive, also raises questions about the Bundesliga overall level of competition. many saw Bayern success as an indication that the league lacked a serious challenger, further strengthening their dominance as champions.

Even though Bayern path to winning trophies can be said to be guaranteed every season, Leverkusen emergence as a serious competitor has kept us from getting bored this season. Xabi Alonso squad is still unbeaten so far, only drawing once against Bayern, the rest they swept clean with wins, both in the Bundesliga and in the Europa League. their 64 goals in 19 games represent a real strong threat, unlike anything Dortmund have offered in recent years.

I think with the second leg against Bayern still months away, Leverkusen focus lies on the closest match against Dortmund tomorrow. this match was a tense test for both sides, Leverkusen is trying to maintain the top of the standings from Bayern pursuit. a big match that takes all focus, strength and dedication to maintain position at the top of the Bundesliga standings.

Man United fate is very unfortunate, it is very difficult to accept that they suffer in this way, even though Ten Hag has all the attributes to boost the team performance. Even though they still have a chance to qualify, The Red Devils need a big miracle here, must beat Bayern Munchen and hope that Copenhagen vs Galatasaray will be a draw. In my opinion, even the chance of finishing in 3rd place in the standings is also very difficult, this means that their chance of advancing to the European League play-off round is also very impossible.

Onana is back in the negative spotlight, two blunders in one match are unforgivable. There is a lot to learn about good and correct goalkeeping procedures, such as the basic way to catch the ball. I really wonder if he only thinks about how to distribute the ball. I don't know, the figure of 47 million that United paid Inter seems expensive, because Onana is not the right solution but is like a burden on the club.

United failure to qualify for the round of 16 would be very embarrassing, and as I said before their chances of getting into the Europa League are also quite slim. Their fate in the EPL is also somewhat unlucky, everything looks like a setback. Their movements in the transfer market did not work optimally, Ten Hag efforts to lead United to success have failed this season.

On paper, Man City has a better chance than Tottenham. I think that with the background of performance, condition of the squad, and will act as hosts, City is really superior. Tottenham are in difficult times, with a storm of injuries coming their way, 10 of their players have had to go into the treatment room. Ange was required to find the right strategy in an effort to reduce the ferocity of Pep squad at the Etihad.

Actually, if both clubs had complete squads, this match would be quite interesting. However, we have seen how Ange dominated his squad at the start of last season so that in 10 matches they were unbeaten. Until we assume beforehand, that Tottenham deserves to be on the list of title contenders this season. But now the situation is different, but I don't think they will lose easily and just give up 3 points to City.

However, that doesn't mean the opposite can't happen, I mean who knows, Tottenham will make a surprise, I think it's also very possible. When we are quite sure that a match can be won easily, based on experience, many people often lose. This season we have seen City lose to Wolves, a mediocre club that has greater luck.

But for now, I think we have to admit that Arsenal have collected more points and are now top of the EPL standings. The Gunners are one point ahead of Man City in second place, and City is one point ahead of Liverpool in third place, and Liverpool is ahead on goal difference from Aston Villa in fourth place. The competition for the top four is so tight that in my opinion all four clubs have shown a high level of consistency so far, and in my opinion none of the teams in the top four of the standings can be called underperforming.

Recently, after City drew with Liverpool, many questions have arisen as to whether Pep Guardiola squad can defend the EPL title this season. I understand that it's too early to predict the end of the season, but there no harm in speculating. Personally, I see that Arsenal and Liverpool have the potential to win the EPL title this season, and can break City dominance.

Arsenal need to cure the acute illness they are suffering from towards the end of the season, namely avoiding the large number of injured players, Arteta must properly organize the details of his strategy, and that is the only way to remain consistent until the end of the season. For Liverpool, this is the most promising season as long as Salah is still at the peak of his performance, and it is reported that this will be his last season in the red uniform. However, despite all that, we have to be patient and wait for the standings to form with a difference in points, hoping that there will be surprises in the EPL this season.

Barcelona and Atletico have just both recorded wins in the Champions League, which is good capital for both of them. This time the two will face each other in La Liga, 3 points here means getting closer to Girona and Real Madrid, but Atletico still has one match postponed, that's another piece of luck for them. Everything will be at stake here, including prestige as a title contender, especially for Barcelona. I think Xavi squad must maintain their pride in front of their own supporters this time, after losing in El Clasico yesterday.

On paper, Barcelona is the defending champion, but referring to the current standings, Atletico is clearly superior for the time being. Statistically, I agree that Diego Simeone squad is better than Xavi club, but to determine who will be able to secure the 3 points, I think statistics cannot be used as a complete reference. However, I am inclined that Barcelona can secure 3 points this time.

On the other hand, this is Joao Felix first match against Atletico in a Blaugrana uniform, this match is definitely quite emotional for him. The strength of the two clubs can be said to be quite balanced, I mean there are not many injured players on both teams. So, you can be sure that this match will be tough, full of pressure, and will be very open.

I think Al Hilal are at an advantage in many ways, even though they lost to Al Nassr they didn't lose their place at the top of the table, so they will play without too much pressure. Al Hilal will act as hosts, Al Nassr needs something other than just the Ronaldo factor, I mean the role of other players in contributing to this match is really needed. Al Hilal is the only club whose number of goals conceded is below 10 goals, and its goal productivity exceeds 40 goals in 14 match, this is what Al Nassr must understand.

In the previous Asian Champions League (AFC) event, Al Hilal managed to win over Navbahor with a score of 2-0. This victory confirmed their position in Group D, as well as being important capital to face Al Nassr. Meanwhile, in the same competition (AFC), Al Nassr was held to a draw by Persipolis with a score of 0-0. This is a bad sign for Ronaldo and his colleagues, it looks like in the match against Al Hilal next Saturday, I think they will get another draw.

The competition for the top four in the standings will create an even greater gap in points if Al Nassr fails to make Al Hilal stumble this time. The opportunity for Al Ahli and Al Ittihad to win a trophy is still there but it is a little thinner, it looks like the two clubs will only make the competition for the top four even fiercer, no longer putting pressure on Al Hilal at the top. Nevertheless, there are 19 more matches to make a surprise, but what I am most waiting for is the crazy transfer surprise they can realize.

It is very difficult to predict Girona consistency in La Liga this season, because we have never seen them so dominant at the top of the standings. Before yesterday draw against Bilbao, even Girona beat point Madrid, Barcelona and ATM below them, what they did really should not be allowed. But despite his actions, I think it is still necessary to wait until the first half of the season is over to truly assess the extent of the greatness of Michel club.

I think miracles exist, but they are quite rare to happen, although this does not rule out the possibility. As we all understand, Girona can only win over clubs that have the same quality as them, or slightly above them, or it could be called mediocre clubs. This method is quite effective in securing points, and their luck will really be tested by Valencia and Barcelona in the future.

It will be very unfortunate for Madrid, Barcelona and ATM if Girona emerges as La Liga champions at the end of the season. Even now, just imagining it doesn't make sense, unless these three clubs will lose a lot of points in the future. But apart from that, I think Girona deserves a place in the UCL next season, but I don't expect their fate to be like Union Berlin in the Bundesliga.

Nice has not been defeated at all this season in 13 matches, but I don't see them as worthy to challenge PSG. Not without reason, because they are having difficulty winning, so far they have drawn 5 times. Lille (week 1), Lorient (week 2), Lyon (week 3), Brest (week 7) Montpellier (week 12), these are the five clubs that managed to hold Nice pace in collecting points. I think the consistency that Nice currently has will not last long, in other words, it will only be temporary.

Although I was quite impressed with their success in beating three strong clubs, PSG, Monaco and Marseille. However, that doesn't mean anything if in the future they still struggle to get 3 points, so breaking PSG dominance this season will be difficult for them. Moreover, if PSG is eliminated in the UCL or continues to advance to the Europa League, then Enrique squad will be quite difficult to beat in Ligue 1, because they will be fully focused.

But this is just an assumption, which may be completely wrong, or maybe half right. By not underestimating the potential of other clubs in Ligue 1, all possibilities are still quite open to happening, it could be that in the second half of the season the story and scenario will be reversed. However, based on calculations, with all the attributes they have, and an experienced coach, I think PSG still deserves to be superior in lifting the trophy at the end of the season.

However, what needs to be underlined here is that changing coaches is the only way Union Berlin hopes to improve the team overall performance. I saw that from the top of the club to their lowest level, had great respect for Urs Fischer, a quite emotional farewell, after more than 5 years of work and dedication to the club. Union Berlin needs a new successor to lead the dressing room, they need different motivation, even though the risk of this change has been taken into consideration by management.

Not many coaches are able to guide a club to improve gradually until it is finally able to appear in Europe highest competition, Urs Fischer has proven in this case that he is one of them. For this reason, I think he deserves high appreciation, because we know how difficult it is to build a club without being supported by an adequate budget like Bayern Munchen.

I also understand that the current interim coach is not a guarantee of instant results, for a while before the transfer window opened, Marco Grote is required to manage Fischer legacy squad. For the meantime, the most realistic target is to get out of the degradation zone, no longer talking about other opportunities, for me they deserve to stay and play here next season.

I am also quite sure that Aston Villa will be thrown back from the top four of the standings, if Bournemouth cannot do it in week 14, then Man City will step in directly in week 15 to execute Unai Emery squad from the top four. I was quite surprised at Ange squad and how could it be, Tottenham were so unlucky yesterday and managed to be beaten by Aston with a score of 2-1 in front of their own supporters.

At a moment like this, Man United should be able to get an advantage to push into the UCL zone. However, looking at their next two matches, it is very likely that they will be unstable again and lose points, because they will face Newcastle and Chelsea. the fate of the Ten Hag squad this season is truly unfortunate, there are obstacles for them to improve the situation. Despite their promising win over Everton previously, I doubt The Red Devils can beat these two tough opponents.

Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool are the three clubs currently competing to be number one in the standings. these three will overtake each other and swap places, I see them as real title contenders this season, and I predict they won't be out of the top four until the end of the season. this means that teams interested in playing in the UCL next season will have to fight to secure a one place below them.

Juventus hopes of overtaking Inter are quite big in the future, especially if Inter advances further in the UCL which requires them to focus more there. I see that Juventus is better than Milan and Napoli in pressing Inter at the top of the standings for the time being, with the lack of match schedules and competition, Aleggri squad should fight optimally to get the Scudetto at the end of the season. However, I think they have to look for a new midfielder to cover the position left by Pogba, the transfer window is the best option and they have to move actively there.

However, on the other hand, by missing European competitions this season, Juventus income will automatically decrease drastically. In my opinion, this will influence their steps in building a squad in the future, we know that in financial terms it is not only Juventus who are experiencing a difficult position, in fact almost everyone feels the same way.

I think it makes sense that Juventus has big ambitions and is determined to win the Scudetto and other trophies at domestic level. This aims to give them big bonuses so they can use them to build their squad in the future. I also understand that this can only happen if Inter experiences a setback or something, but hoping for that is not a good idea, Juventus must consistently collect points while waiting for Inter to stumble.

On paper, Man United can beat Galatasaray even though they act as the visiting team. I say that because I see United as an elite club in the EPL, and have been poor in the UCL, even though I understand that the Ten Hag squad is currently the club most highlighted due to their poor performance, no longer because of their good reputation. This doesn't mean I underestimate Galatasaray, I never thought about that at all, because I still remember how Icardi and his colleagues beat United in front of their supporters in the first leg.

Apart from that, Bayern is now in a safe position which will certainly reduce the tension of the game a little, this means that Copenhagen will maximize their efforts to record a draw, because beating Bayern can be said to require a miracle. If Bayern and Copenhagen draw, and United and Galatasaray draw, then the Danish representatives will have the luck to qualify for the round of 16, even though they have to fight again in the deciding round in the last match against Galatasaray.

I think the situation for group A is quite complicated in fighting for one slot to the next stage, it could be that the prediction goes according to the circumstances and could be completely wrong. I really understand that the UCL is very different from domestic competitions, it requires mentality, hard work and teamwork to progress step by step, although sometimes luck will play its role and side with an unexpected club later.
