I also do not recommend making far-reaching conclusions about Barcelona. Yes, the team started winning and showing the results that delight the soul of the team's fans, but really all this started happening only recently and I'm not sure that the team has that margin of safety to constantly give results, because this margin does not appear instantly and it needs to be gradually worked out over time. There may well be a situation when the team will not succeed again and the team will fall down purely psychologically. Also, do not forget about the format of the Europa League as a cup tournament and therefore Galatasaray may well show a good result in these two matches.

Well, to begin with, Sporting needs to at least score 5 goals to move the game into extra time, and then act on the situation However, the situation is a little complicated by the fact that the match will be held in Manchester and City will try to counteract this in every way But seriously speaking, Sporting has some chances only to take points away from Manchester City or even win, because I would not be surprised if Josep Guardiola arranges a rotation of the squad and releases some players who are not solid foundation players. As for Lille and Inter, I would like to say that a lot depends on who scores the goal first and then a lot is possible, which is why coaches dislike the 2-0 score, because often teams that win with such a score begin to feel a certain sense of relaxation and as a result may miss the return goal.

I also have some doubts about Borussia Dortmund, especially since it has now become known that Haaland will miss a month due to a recurrence of a muscle injury, and the presence of such a player would not be superfluous in these circumstances. Moreover, Mainz is not so simple and beat Bayer two weeks ago and the match will be held at its home stadium. I also hope that Bayer will put up a decent resistance to Bayern Munich and try to take points from the leader. Still, the third place in the standings needs to be defended, because Leipzig, Freiburg and Hoffenheim are also not so far away and any of these teams will gladly take the opportunity to get closer.

I also think that all is not lost for Sevilla and even if they fail to take the title of champion this season, the second place is also a very good result for the team and the result for which it is worth continuing to make efforts. The team still has a gap and the competitors still need to win their matches in order to get close. Moreover, I do not think that Real Madrid will have a simple game and a victory over Real Sociedad, because Sociedad also claims at least third place and at the same time plays on its home arena and would also not mind taking advantage of the misfire of Sevilla and the potential loss of points from one of the competitors in the match of Betis and Atletico Madrid.

I also have very big doubts that the new owners will also invest in Chelsea the way Abramovich did. The arrival of new owners may also not have the most favorable effect on the team's results, no matter how Tuchel said at the same time that this situation does not affect him in any way.  Also, the fact that this is happening in a hurry also cannot put an imprint on this sale, because the new owners are going to buy the club at a big discount, taking advantage of the complexity of the situation and not the fact that they are able to maintain the financing of the club at the same level. I wouldn't be surprised at all if after a while the new owners resell the club to their advantage.

A derby is a derby and in such matches it is not so important what positions the teams occupy in the standings at a given time. Moreover, Manchester United really has a set of players who are at least able to win in a separate match. Moreover, it seems that it is much easier for the players to get together and tune in to a single match and show their best qualities in front of the fans, who will provide frantic support and stimulate the players with this, than to do it for a long time. Where else but in this match to break Ronaldo's scoring drought, especially since he, as a player with tremendous experience, should not feel much pressure about the importance of the match.

Well, actually, Inter did not take revenge on anyone and nothing with this match, because the unfortunate Salernitan team is not to blame that Inter lost to Sassuolo before that In principle, the expected outcome of the match, but still, taking into account the recent matches, there were certain doubts about Inter's victory, especially with such a score as 5-0. Moreover, Inter has not scored goals since February 12. Therefore, we can only talk about some revenge on those experts who have already begun to doubt Inter's abilities, however, let's not forget what place Salernitana occupies in the standings. Also, this is not the best news for Napoli and Milan before the full-time match, because Inter will still have one match left.

I am also surprised that the previous poster recalls that Milan won against Inter and, accordingly, is therefore the favorite in the match with Napoli and at the same time culturally silent about the fact that Milan lost points just in the match with Salernitana having drawn 2-2. We have already seen something similar in the 25th round of the championship, when the first 7 teams of the championship failed to win their matches. All the leaders do not have a stable game lately and cannot give out a series of victories to break away from their pursuers. By the way, Inter has not won since February 8 and it is obvious that the team is experiencing some crisis.

There is information that Rangnik just doubts that Ronaldo can be the leader of Manchester United's attack and score a lot of goals next season and therefore offers to acquire a young striker. Still, I also think that the main problem of modern Manchester United and Rangnik's coaching style is that the team cannot effectively use Ronaldo, although he still has scoring chances. If earlier under Solskjaer there was a problem that the team could not take advantage of Ronaldo's goals and lost points, then under Rangnik the striker also had a problem with goals scored. But once again, the problem is not only and not so much in Ronaldo, but in general in the game of the whole team.

I am not sure that Bayern Munich will be able to pay the wages that Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain can offer, and it is not at all that the club cannot afford it financially, but that it will contradict the philosophy of the club. By the way, this is where I think the reasons for the problems with the extension of the contract with Lewandowski are now, that Bayern Munich does not want to pay as much money as the Polish striker would like to receive as a salary. Also, for some reason it seems to me that Haaland and his entourage would just like to change their environment and try themselves in another championship, since there are no problems with career options and there are not expected.

For Atletico Madrid, victory is more important, but the match will take place at Betis' home stadium. The current Atletico Madrid is a rather unpredictable team and cannot realize the potential to consistently score points. What used to be the club's trump card, like a good defensive game, is no longer the club's strong point and the team makes unthinkable mistakes in defense that were impossible in previous years. What used to be the club's trump card, like a good defensive game, is no longer the club's strong point and the team makes unthinkable mistakes in defense that were impossible in previous years. The most important thing is that it feels like Diego Simeone himself does not understand what the cause of the problems is and cannot properly establish team interactions in the team and show the strong character that was inherent in Atletico Madrid.

And what exactly is wrong with the result of Atletico Madrid's first match with Manchester United? I wouldn't call a draw a good result for Atletico, but I wouldn't risk calling it a bad result either. I would call a loss in the first match a bad result, but not a draw. A draw is a normal working result for Atletico and on the basis of this, the club can quite work and build its game and tactics for the second leg. The most important problem for Atletico Madrid is the instability of the results and therefore it is not at all clear what to expect in the match with Betis, which seems to be still dangerous despite the loss to Sevilla in the derby. By the way, there is information that Lewandowski is interested in moving to Atletico.

Oh, I wouldn't say that someone has to do something. Salernitana is also fighting for something, and in this case at least to leave the last place in the standings, and there you can already think about other tasks. The most important danger of the leaders' game with such rivals as Salernitana is that the outsider immediately gives up the initiative and plays purely for destruction and not always the favorite, who is obliged by his status to attack, can pick up the keys to the opponent's defense. In the same way, I would not have announced in advance a draw in the match between Napoli and Milan, if only because the game will be held at Napoli's home stadium. Another question is that a draw will not be the worst result for the opponents, but still not the fact that this will happen.

Nothing offensive, because if Manchester City does not become a champion, then it means that, let's say Liverpool had a good final part and it will be a shame for him not to become a champion himself There is still no clarity on this issue and Manchester City still continues to maintain a 6-point advantage and Liverpool still need to win their missed match to get within one win of City. Guardiola has just said that he does not think about the prospects of winning the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup and only thinks about the next game, which will be with Manchester United. And I don't think Guardiola is very worried about the lost advantage right now, but it will be time later if it does happen

On the contrary, it would be too late to talk about if Haaland stays at Borussia Dortmund. There is absolutely no reason for a player to stay at the club, because it is hard to believe that the club will dramatically change the vector of its development in the summer and turn from a donor for rich clubs into a self-sufficient football project with great sporting ambitions. The age of a professional football player is quite short and I think that Haaland has already achieved the maximum that can be achieved at Borussia Dortmund and it's time to move to a new level, and not beat his head against the limited ceiling of his current club's capabilities.

I also think that the last thing in such a match is to blame Kepa, when the players of both teams were able to hit the opponent's goal with full compliance with football rules. I think the head coach of the team had the best information about his goalkeepers and acted accordingly. Let's not forget that Kepa has already won two penalty shootouts in this League Cup draw, and therefore Tuchel's logic is quite understandable when he decided to change the goalkeeper. The only mistake of Kepa is that he could not score a penalty, and this is still not the most important thing that is expected from the goalkeeper. Who wouldn't say that, but the penalty shootout is a kind of football lottery, where the luck factor plays a bigger role than in the goals that are scored during the match.

Actually, under no circumstances would I call Ronaldo a playmaker in the classical sense of the word. I would agree about this about Messi, but not about Ronaldo. For me, Ronaldo is a classic example of a tip forward who scores goals with his actions on the tip and decides the outcome of matches. I agree that their best years in the physical sense are already behind them, but even now their level of play is so high that they are able to benefit their clubs. The whole question is how the head coach can use their best features and integrate them into a team game. On the other hand, I don't think the coach is guilty when Messi is called to kick but can't score a penalty.

It all depends on what amounts were prescribed in Haaland's contract and it may well be a situation that Borussia Dortmund will not be able to receive these 200 million euros due to the peculiarities of the signed contract and yet it was better not to fight for the player to stay at the club, but left earlier for the above amount, and not for 75 million euros. Indeed, the fact remains that due to his injuries, the player does not bring the benefit that the club's management and fans expected. I'm still not sure about Haaland's malicious intent and these injuries really have a real character. On the other hand, this is an occasion for future buyers to think about the potential injury of the player in the future.

In any case, Ronaldo, if used correctly, would be very useful, it's just that Manchester United can't do it. Looking at this, I already sometimes begin to regret that the player's transfer to Manchester City did not take place, because I think that Pep Guardiola and the level of City's players would have allowed Ronaldo's skill to be used better. Therefore, I am not quite sure what the reason for this is, either the Ranger cannot fix it, or simply the level of the players does not allow it. I also agree with the previous comments that Ronaldo is no longer so brilliant at hitting free kicks, which used to be the striker's most powerful weapon.

The match will be very important, but I would not dare to call it decisive, because the teams scored the same number of points in the standings. By the way, Napoli does not have to win this match at all, it will be enough to play a draw in order not to let Milan go ahead. However, do not forget about Inter, for whom this result of the match may be beneficial. I also do not know whether to consider it an advantage for both clubs that Inter will hold its game with Salernitana earlier and therefore Milan and Napoli will know the result of this match. On the one hand, Salernitana is an outsider of the championship and Inter, having won this match, will be able to calmly watch the competitors' match, but on the other hand, how many surprises have already happened to the leaders in recent rounds.
