It's ironic for Barcelona and Girona because they failed to secure full points in last night's match. Even though it is clear that they have the opportunity to shorten the difference in points from Real Madrid, who drew against Valencia. I think these two Catalan clubs are unable to compete with Real Madrid to be more fierce in the race for the La Liga title. Barcelon drew against Bilbao and Girona lost against Mallorca, honestly I didn't expect the result to be like that.

As in betting, it is certain that bettors will favor Barcelona and Girona to win and it seems like it will be a nightmare for bettors because their predictions are wrong. This result makes Real Madrid even more comfortable because even though the controversial draw against Valencia yesterday was enough to save them from being chased by these two teams. Well, I hope these three teams can still compete and even though it is difficult they have to make Real Madrid start to be a little alert.

There will be no end of praise for Leverkusen because they can still maintain their winning trend until week 24. Koln as host is certainly not a big problem for Leverkusen because at the start of the season they also managed to beat Koln with a score that was almost not much different. I don't think any team can stop Leverkusen until the end of the season because they have beaten any strong team, let alone weak teams like Koln and the others.

Now the difference is 10 points from Bayern Munich and there is no need to debate who will be the Bundesliga champions this season and I quite hope that Xabi Alonso will still stay at Leverkusen so that the upcoming competition can be much better and not boring. Maybe this is the first time in a decade or more that the Bundesliga has become more colorful and I want to see whether next season Bayern Munich can compete again with Leverkusen or not.

I don't think that's the best result because if it was Juventus' best result then they shouldn't have only had one win in the last 5 matches. In several of these matches, Juventus experienced a decline in performance and the cause is still unknown until now. Even though the players are not experiencing problems and they still rely on Vlahovic and Chiesa for attacking matters.

However, here I see that there is no balance in the midfield to the back line which makes Juventus unable to give their best performance and this defeat against Napoli was actually unexpected. I feel that this victory does not mean that Napoli can maintain their existing winning trend and in my opinion they will still experience a deadlock in the next match. Even though the statistics are quite convincing, this is only temporary for Napoli.

It's only natural that Inter is now starting to be looked up to as a newcomer who will enliven the race for the Champions League title this season and it's important to remember that they are also a club full of history in this competition. So it's nothing new for Inter to be in this competition and with their best performance this season it could happen. Maybe their superiority is not as big as Manchester City or Real Madrid, but still what they have done so far is worth watching out for.

Talking about Real Madrid, it is common knowledge that in the domestic league they are quite overwhelmed, but when it comes to the Champions League they are experts and there is no doubt that their performance is very different when they are in the Champions League and will be much stronger. I think often winning the Champions League is proof that Real Madrid can always dominate the Champions League, but sometimes it won't be easy because every team will always try to get rid of them so that their chances of winning the Champions League trophy are greater.

The match, which initially ended with a 3-1 lead, should have allowed Getafe to win the match against Las Palmas, but sometimes we cannot predict what happens on the pitch. What happened in that match was extraordinary and both teams played very well to fight for points. I didn't expect that after being left behind by 2 goals, Las Palmas wouldn't give up quickly and they managed to equalize at 3-3 against Getafe in the second half. It was a very satisfying result for Las Palmas as they avoided defeat and for Getafe it was a wasted victory that they failed to defend.

In my opinion, things like this often happen and actually these two teams are at the same level, it's just that as hosts, Getafe should win. I am happy to see the performance of Mason Greenwood and he continues to improve his overall performance. One goal he scored in this match was also extraordinary and he did it so hard from outside the penalty box that the Las Palmas goalkeeper couldn't reach it. Well, sharing one point isn't bad and they put on a really beautiful match.

One thing I like about Stuttgart is that they haven't given up one bit to secure their current position and at the same time widen the gap from the competitors below them. A very satisfying victory for Stuttgart after they beat hosts Wolfsburg with a score of 2-3 and in this match we finally saw Guirassy score two goals again for Stuttgart. I am sure they will remain consistent like this and a perfect record for a weak team last season can transform into a strong team this season.

Elsewhere, Leipzig silenced hosts Bochum with a score of 1-4 and it was a long-awaited victory after losing last week against Bayern Muchen. Here Leipzig really doesn't want to be left behind and therefore they are trying to continue to get full points so they can immediately overtake Dortmund. I feel the competition will get tougher at the end of the season and I think only Leverkusen can sit quietly without any interference from any team.

One thing that really caught my attention is that Marseille are now very reliable and they are not half-hearted when they win because they have always scored lots of goals so far. It would be very nice when one of the big teams could do this continuously and I think betting on Marseille would be quite promising to win. They have won two matches like this in a landslide and I want to see Marseille maintain this.

I briefly discussed the role of the new coach, Jean-Louis Gasset, who made Marseille as aggressive as it is now and maybe if Marseille still kept Gattuso the results would not be like this. I know it's too early to congratulate coach Jean-Louis Gasset's performance but I think it all starts with good things like this. Currently Marseille is in 6th position in the standings and is only 5 to 6 points away from Lille and Monaco. They will definitely get a place in European competition from the Champions League, European League or Conference League next season and I am very sure of that.

This nightmare is always there even when the match has just started and everything will get worse when the top team is so disadvantaged by a situation like that. As the host, Al-Ahli was unable to provide decent results for its fans and the red card received by Roger Ibanez actually made Al-Ahli's defense even weaker. It was proven that after one of the Al-Ahli players was sent off from the field they immediately conceded to Al-Fateh and even though Al-Ahli had everything to win, especially with the depth of their current squad, this could not be achieved with certainty.

What happened was that Al-Ahli could only equalize the score at 1-1 and fortunately Saint Maximin saved Al-Ahli from defeat thanks to his goal. On the other hand, even though there were still more than 20 minutes including injury time, Al-Ahli were still unable to turn things around and they had to accept this bad result from the start of the match. This result does not change anything and Al-Ahli still sits comfortably in 3rd position in the standings.

Roma really haven't been stopped and they managed to get another landslide victory when they visited Monza headquarters. De Rossi has turned these Roma wolves into a team that is difficult to predict and all his players can be at their best thanks to his cool hands. I feel that Roma will have no trouble if they only score 1 goal and in fact they will do whatever they want to secure victory. Conceding 4 goals is certainly not a good result for Monza, especially since they are stuck in the middle of the table which will become even more fierce at the end of the season.

It looks like Roma will really secure a place in the Champions League next season and honestly I have longed for them to be present in Europe's highest competition for so long. Now they only need one win to lock up the top 4 and they have to hope that Bologna cannot play optimally today against Atalanta so that their opportunities next week will be even wider.

To be honest I was expecting a very easy game from Liverpool against Nottingham but what we saw was instead a late victory that was even beyond expectations. I think Liverpool tried very well to break into Nottingham's goal, but it wasn't easy and they repeatedly had difficulty penetrating the Nottingham defense. Here I want to praise Darwin Nunez's performance because he has become a hero for the Reds thanks to the only goal he scored with a header in this match.

The title race will still continue and Liverpool will not give up one bit and they are lucky they did not end up with the same points as Nottingham. Anyway, I did a multibet on last night's match and the results were quite satisfactory even though there were several matches where I got half wins. But it's okay, at least I still secured quite large overall odds. Despite all that, my bets were right on target and nothing went wrong.

Achraf Hakimi is deemed more appropriate as a replacement for Carvajal than Reece James and considering his previous experience playing for Los Blancos several years ago, he no longer needs to adapt any harder. In the past, Achraf Hakimi left Real Madrid because he didn't get playing minutes and it was natural that when he was young he didn't want to spend time on the bench and because of that he chose to look for experience in another team.

Real Madrid has been watching him for a long time and this would be an extraordinary comeback for Achraf Hakimi if he accepts the offer from Real Madrid. He will also play with his current teammate, Mbappe, who will go to Real Madrid first this summer. I think the offer from PSG will not be as expensive as we think and maybe it is still a reasonable price for a right wing-back. So Achraf Hakimi's decision will depend on a few more seasons and he will again have a bright future.

Anyone else feel as annoyed as I do? Honestly, this is the worst match of the whole season or even one of the worst matches in La Liga history. How could it not be that the match that should have been a victory for Real Madrid ended up being a draw against Valencia due to the referee's controversial decision. I did bet on Real Madrid winning and watched this match at the same time but still couldn't believe what the referee did. He blew the whistle while the match was still in progress and Real Madrid's position was still attacking in the Valencia defense box after previously taking a corner kick. The ball from the corner kick was successfully secured by Brahim Diaz and when he crossed to Bellingham and it became a goal, the referee actually blew the signal for the end of the match.

Does this incident really make sense? no right? How can a referee blow the whistle when the ball is still in the air? Even if you have played football games like PES or FIFA, the referee will definitely not blow the whistle to signal the end of the match before the ball leaves the opponent's defense box. After the goal was disallowed, Jude Bellingham immediately protested until he finally got a red card. The question is, is this match still continuing or has it finished? Why did Bellingham, who protested, get a red card after the match? If Jude Bellingham's protest was still counted, the match should still have gone on and the goal he scored would have been valid. Anyway, thank you to La Liga, you have thwarted my multibet which I had arranged neatly and for Real Madrid fans and bettors, they will definitely not be happy with this result.

I don't think it will be easy because when playing at home, Valencia will be much stronger and they will respond to every attack from Real Madrid. Plus, Valencia is a typical team with a strong defense so it will be very difficult for Real Madrid to break into their goal. From the last 5 matches, Valencia only conceded 5 goals with details of 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. I think with a record like that they can still be said to be worthy of making things difficult for Real Madrid later.

On the other hand, Real Madrid certainly still wants to continue widening the gap after learning that Girona managed to beat Vallecano a few days ago. In H2H, Real Madrid is still ahead with the number of wins they have achieved, but it should be remembered that in the initial meeting last season, Real Madrid lost at home to Valencia and that cannot happen again this season. The return of Bellingham, who is hungry for goals, will be the difference and an important factor in Real Madrid's victory.

The arrival of Mbappe and Alphonso Davies to Real Madrid in the summer became increasingly clear and this made Achraf Hakimi's name start to be linked as Real Madrid's next target in the transfer market. We know that Achraf Hakimi is currently a PSG player and was previously a former Real Madrid player under Zidane's coaching era and because Achraf Hakimi often failed to compete for the right wing defender position, he had to leave in 2020 and at that time he first sought experience for a season at inter. Just one season at Inter and his good performance made PSG tempted to bring him in and at that time PSG dared to pay 60 million euros to Inter in 2021.

Well, now Real Madrid wants to buy him again and of course this plan is being worked on because there are so many opportunities that Real Madrid can take advantage of between waiting until 2025 or even 2026 when his contract with PSG has ended. I think Real Madrid's movements are always smart when they want to get players without spending a penny and even if they buy them, this club is actually also capable. But yes, again, that is the club's strategy and if Achraf Hakimi wants to join Real Madrid again, the right wing back position is very open, making him a starter considering that Carvajal is also starting to age.

Liverpool goalkeeper Allison is reported to have suffered a serious injury but it is not the worst it will be until the end of the season as stated by Jurgen Klopp. I think currently Liverpool really needs his role in the starting line up, especially as the goalkeeper is one of the most important pillars when facing opponents. Even though his current replacement, Caoimhin Kelleher, is performing quite well with Liverpool, with the competition to win the EPL title this season, Liverpool still needs a quality goalkeeper like Allison.

There has been no clear confirmation when Allison will be able to return to the main squad but what is clear is that in the upcoming match against Nottingham he will still be absent. The problem is that in the match after this, Liverpool will face their competitors in the fight for the title, namely Manchester City, which will take place at Anfield and it will be a very fierce match for both of them. It could be said that this big match will be one of the determinants of which team will win the title this season.

Even if Almeria wants to win, it won't be able to keep them safe in La Liga next season and another defeat last night against Celta Vigo is proof of the destruction they have endured for months. Almeria will not be able to escape the relegation zone and they will continue to languish until the season ends. Moreover, they are the only club in La Liga that has never tasted victory this season, so it will be very difficult for them to survive if they can't even win. Celta Vigo deserved to win and they have to continue with the remaining games in order to stay in La Liga next season and I'm pretty sure they can do it.

---

In other news, Jude Bellingham and Joselu are certain to return to strengthen Real Madrid in today's match against Valencia and this will be their first appearance after appearing several times absent due to injury. Real Madrid is happy that finally the pieces of their strength have recovered and are ready to deliver another victory when they play away against Valencia.

Lazio had to accept the one-sided match and seemed detrimental to the hosts when facing Milan at home. It really doesn't make sense if you look at the referee's decision in this match which was very detrimental to Lazio and even though everything wanted to end in a draw, Milan managed to score a goal in the final minute which made them take home 3 points. I understand that big matches in Serie A will always be like this and there will not be so many goals scored because every player will be more alert and strengthen the defensive line.

But what we saw was so disappointing that in the end Lazio got 3 red cards and I still appreciate Lazio's way of not conceding many goals even though they lack players on the field. In normal times, Lazio is still very strong to be able to keep up with Milan and Milan cannot take advantage of this advantage by scoring lots of goals. The two red cards at the end of the match actually had no influence whatsoever on Milan's victory and were just emotions from the Lazio players. Well, it's quite sad for Lazio and I hope they can focus more on the next match and forget about the results of this match.

Regarding the opportunity for Manchester City to return against strong teams in the Champions League, it will really disturb their minds in defending their title. At the same time, they also have to think about how to defend their domestic league title and these two competitions are consecutive blows that could destroy them. The mental readiness of the players is needed to face the schedule and difficult opponents in the future and there is nothing they can do if everything just disappears.

I am well aware that this will be a challenge that will not be easy for Manchester City to overcome, but as much as possible they have to prove that they are a big team at the moment in any competition because they have a genius coach and talented players. What happens if in the previous season they were very strong but this season they are having difficulties, all football observers will assume that their time has ended in a short time. But if I am very aware that if it doesn't go as it should, it's not a bad thing because every season there will always be changes that they can't control.

There was nothing surprising even though Al-Ittihad managed to break into Al-Hilal's goal first and this actually increased the intensity of attacks from Al-Hilal who wanted to maintain their unbeaten record. Luckily, none of the Al-Hilal players gave up and all of them had a strong winning mentality. If in that match Al-Ittihad can beat Al-Hilal it will certainly be a news headline for a week because with the lack of preparedness this season and the problems that are still floating within Al-Ittihad it will be a pleasant thing if they succeed in beating the only team that not yet defeated.

But what we see is a club on the diamond and Al-Hilal is not only filled with great players but the strategies used by the coach are much more reliable. I think Al-Hilal's desire to win the Saudi League title cannot be denied and neither club at their level can stop them until now. The 3-1 win at home against Al-Ittihad further opened our eyes to the real rulers of the Saudi league.

There will be no end to the criticism coming to Bayern Munich and their job is really under threat this season to be able to defend the Bundesliga title. Many of us thought after the defeat against Leverkusen things would get worse and what they found now was just an increasingly obvious collapse. It is impossible for Bayern Munich to survive and Tuchel is again under pressure to leave Bayern Munich sooner than he announced after the season ended.

A draw against Freiburg was something unimaginable for Bayern Munich and they had an unexpected start to the week. Freiburg was certainly happy because they managed to equalize in the final minute and that was more than good because the team they managed to stop from winning was Bayern Munich. This season has been the worst for Bayern Munich and what most people hoped for at the start of the season has finally come to fruition with the collapse of the Bayern Munich dynasty in the Bundesliga.
