There are great games tomorrow and Manchester City - Tottenham is one of them surely. Some people think that Tottenham can surprise us but I don't think so. They are a very unreliable team right now as they lost their last three league games. And this is the most difficult game for them certainly. They are going to face the leader. This is one of the big games in the league of course but Tottenham are not strong enough to get even one point from Manchester City now I believe.
Games with the leader are a very special event in which any team tries to show its best features and stand out in front of its fans and the media. Especially when it comes to a club like Tottenham, which at the same time has a decent squad and a competent coach in the person of Antonio Conte, who has a huge winning experience. Therefore, the club must fight for at least one point. However, Conte is already beginning to show dissatisfaction with the club's transfer policy this winter window, saying that numerically on paper they have weakened, instead of strengthening. This should be quite a worrying sign for Tottenham fans, remembering that Conte left Inter for similar reasons. |

It seems to me that it is very possible, at Real Madrid they are very calculating, and if they want to have Benzema once again to take advantage of his full potential, it is the best they can do, perhaps they are seeing that Benzema's performance for now is superior and his experience makes him more valuable, however Real Madrid is very well meshed for now with Benzema, we all know that Real Madrid always grabs very young players and they are usually the ones with the most fame, except when Messi was there and he couldn't bring it to him or say that they are players who are really crimson blue by nature, but the case of Mbappé has always stated that he is at Real Madrid and Haaland is a player who has always liked to follow in the footsteps of CR7, so no wonder he goes there to play.
Does anyone know if a rumor I read is actually true or fake? that PSG was looking for Zinedine Zidane to be their coach? and that the only condition that he sets is that CR7 go to PSG so that he plays alongside Messi and Neymar Jr?
Even Though Real Madrid would want Erling Haaland and Mbappe to play alongside each other in the team, I think it is going to be really tough to afford them. All that transfer money and the wage is going to cost a lot. So, I don't know how this is going to work out. And about the managerial position of PSG, I think PSG might look for Zidane to manage the team but the conditions that were told simply look like too baseless. I mean, if I believe in this, I think I might as well believe in fairy tales.  Thanks to his victories, Zidane has already earned a certain authority and is entitled to certain requirements for the club in which he is going to continue working. Another question is that I do not think that the issue of signing Ronaldo is so mandatory and without which Zinedine will not agree to head Paris Saint-Germain. Still, I think if this so-called requirement takes place in reality, then it is more worth talking about a wish than an unconditional requirement. I also still think it is unlikely that Haaland and Mbappe will play at Real Madrid at the same time, but there are still certain opportunities for this and I would not be too surprised if it did happen. |

There is no doubt that Man City is the most worthy team to win the Premier League this season. I agree that Man City's performance is even better than Liverpool's. Therefore, why is Man City currently in the top position with a point difference that is quite far from Liverpool, because Man City does have a better performance as simple as that. Even though Liverpool continues to win, it is impossible to become Premier League champions if Man City does not drop points. The problem is expecting Man City to lose points is very difficult to happen. Indeed, Man City is unstoppable, winning the Premier League trophy is only a matter of time. But what's interesting is waiting for the Man City vs Tottenham game, because Tottenham might surprise us, we know Conte is an experienced coach. So there is a possibility that Tottenham at least make the game end in a draw, if that happens it will be in Liverpool's favour. Because Liverpool will face Norwich, who are likely to be defeated easily by Liverpool.
Until the match took place, I would not still say that Liverpool will definitely win an easy victory over Norwich, despite all the layouts that are available before the game. Based on the experience of previous seasons that Josep Guardiola spent at the helm of Manchester City, I would like to share an observation that the club usually did not miss the advantage it had already won over other teams in the championship race, which it had towards the end of the season. Another question is that each case is unique and why not break the tradition this time  Regarding Tottenham, I would like to say that the club has its own tasks in the form of a fight for a place in the next season of the Champions League, has excellent chances of this in the form of missed league matches and therefore must score points for this. |

There is a slight difference between real madrid who lost ronaldo and also barcelona which messi left at this time, when ronaldo left madrid, at that time madrid condition was also a bit limp but fortunately they still have benzema who can replace ronaldo position well, while barcelona is quite long relying on messi, unable to find a suitable replacement when messi moved to PSG, and even fati and depay who are expected to be the next messi in barcelona have not been able to show their best game at the moment, besides that the club financial condition is currently in trouble, adding to the condition Barcelona is getting worse, and it's clear that Barcelona's current condition is worse than when Madrid lost Ronaldo in 2018.
Benzema didn't replace Ronaldo all that very well, and nobody in the world could ever be the "next Messi" neither, these are two players that nobody could ever replace because between them they have like 12 or something Ballon D'or awards and that's more than any other two people combined. The real difference was that Real had a better 11 than what Barca had, they both managed to not replace their missing superstars but at least Real managed to put up a better 11 than what Barcelona could offered. We also have the fact that Barcelona is doing horribly on finances as well, they have so much debt that paying it would take years for them alone and then they need to also get more players and pay salaries and so forth. All in all Real finished it with a lot better result when Ronaldo left, but when Messi left Barcelona still wasn't ready for this period. It's just that Ronaldo and Messi have different playing roles and Barcelona's playing model was more dependent on Messi than Real Madrid was dependent on Ronaldo. I agree that with all due respect to Benzema, nevertheless Benzema cannot serve as an equivalent replacement for Ronaldo. On the other hand, we must admit that Benzema perfectly complemented Ronaldo with his game at the time. Also, do not forget that the leading players of Real Madrid were simply younger at that time and therefore could show better results physically than they are now. To be honest, the game of Real Madrid did not impress at all in the first match and it is not yet clear whether the club will be able to play from a position of strength in the second match, because now Real Madrid must necessarily score in order to have a chance of continuing the fight for winning the Champions League. |

It looks like both teams have matched equally, but Liverpool has given a better finish than last year's Inter Milan so they have won the match. The advantage is not small for Liverpool and it was not easy for Liverpool to win 2 goals against Inter. Both Inter Milan and Liverpool took the initiative to play offensive football, so it created an attitude that seemed quite interesting to me, but Liverpool scored two goals at the last minute. Good luck to Liverpool, one step ahead in the Champions League.
From the start of the match they actually played quite well but that changed after Firmino scored a goal that disrupted their focus and even became very unstable and that was maximized by Liverpool. Look at the second goal that Salah scored through the chaos in the penalty box. Actually, the Liverpool players there are only 2-3 players and there are lots of players from Inter but because their focus is messed up, it makes things that shouldn't be necessary turn into a disaster through Salah's 2nd goal. It's just that Liverpool were able to use their chances, but Inter, unfortunately, could not do it. Everything seems to have been made up of little things, but thanks to this, two goals were scored, and Liverpool does not look like a team that can miss such an advantage. On the other hand, anything can happen in football, so Inter does not need to bother much about this and just try to win in the second leg, because the club was perfectly able to resist Liverpool in the first match, it was not for nothing that Simone Inzaghi said after the match that Inter showed a very good game, especially in the first 25 minutes of the second half and deserved to score a goal and played the best game this season. |

We should certainly not write Borussia Dortmund off yet. It makes little difference to this team whether they play at home or away because there is enough quality. The problem is that they have conceded four goals, which is a lot. If they win 0-2 then they are there but 1-3 is not enough for example. I assume Rangers will also score at home, which means that Dortmund must certainly score 4 times and a score of 0-3 I don't see that happening. We shouldn't overestimate the Rangers now either. The most tension will now be with Napoli against Barcelona, which can literally go either way.
ya.ya.yo!
In any case, all is not lost for Borussia Dortmund and the team is able to win back a handicap of two goals. After the cancellation of the goal advantage rule in an away match, it is enough for the club to play both 0-2 and 1-3 to transfer the match to extra time. Given the potential of Borussia Dortmund, this is quite possible, and there you already need to see how the situation develops. On the other hand, the game is still to be played at the Rangers home stadium, and this in itself makes it easier for the hosts to retain the advantage and at the same time complicates the task for Dortmund. As for the return match between Napoli and Barcelona, I would still give a slight advantage to Napoli, because the match will take place in Naples. |

After seeing Mbappe's great effort and his fascinating goal against Real Madrid, PSG must be really uncomfortable with his leaving the club this summer. And Real Madrid must be very impressed by the performance of their future player.  As Kylian Mbappe has already made up his mind, I don't think that PSG will be able to stand in his way. But for now, Mbappe seems to be focused on bringing the title to his current team. He is so professional that he doesn't perform badly even though he is going to leave the team. He is giving his best. If Mbappe can win the Champions League before leaving at the end of the season, then that's the best gift he would give the club and fans. I'm just hoping that whichever decision he make, it should be the right time because I've seen several youngsters that were doing really good in their previous clubs but then their career took the downhill when they moved away I think it's still not worth rushing to say that Mbappe has already made a final decision and wait until the end of the season, because there have been no unambiguous official statements from Mbappe about the move to Real Madrid recently. And now, after the winning match, he said that they ask him too many questions about it and he is still a Paris Saint-Germain player. Now it is wrong to say that PSG can get in his way and prevent the transfer, because after refusing to sell the player in the last two transfer windows, the club has no legal leverage left. The Paris Saint-Germain management can only persuade the player with financial incentives to continue his career at the club, but Mbappe has the last word. |

Liverpool is continuously proving to the world that they are ready to win the Champions League after defeating Inter Millan 2-0. I am confident that Liverpool will qualify to the next round because they will still beat them in the return leg at Anfield.
I don't think Bayern Munich can contend for the title any longer; they also lost their last match against a bottom-placed team in the Bondesliga; I know they will qualify, but I don't think they will go that far.
Liverpool just got lucky after continuously probing inter's defense and didn't see any goal then finally got it towards the end of the match. It was a well contested and intense game as Inter equally got really close to scoring. One even went off the crossbar! Anyway, I'm super glad to see Liverpool win the game. I watched the second half and enjoyed it. My boy Luis Diaz keep putting up solid performances. Waiting for Liverpool to wrap this up in the return leg.  Without luck, it is difficult to count on success in such matches of fairly equal opponents I feel a little sorry for Inter, because before Liverpool scored the goal, the situation could have turned both in one direction and in the other. But Inter could not endure for about twenty more minutes and conceded two goals, and if a zero draw or even a loss with a minimum score still left quite normal chances to fight before the return match and hope for a favorable outcome following the results of the entire confrontation, then a 0-2 defeat in a home match reduced these chances to a minimum level. Bayern does not have the brightest streak, but scoring a goal in the penultimate minute of the main time of the match allows you to feel more relaxed before the second leg. |

Yes Ronaldo had a chance at 6th minute but missed and had another chance to score a goal but his good will, he passed to Fernandes but he missed. Still Ronaldo's goal at 51st minute was awesome. Was really lovely to watch him score a goal. Fenandaes as well had chances to score more than a goal but yes missed. Man Utd goal keeper was the other hero for Man Utd win the match. He saved 2 goals. It would have been either drawn at the end if he missed though. Was a good match.
I am very glad that Ronaldo finally scored and broke his goalless streak of 6 matches. In principle, given Ronaldo's high skill and attitude, the only question was when this bad series would end. By the way, about de Gea, I would like to add that thanks to this match, the goalkeeper repeated Peter Schmeichel's record for zero matches for Manchester United and the number of these matches is 128. Also thanks to this win, MU returned to 4th place, which allows them to participate in the Champions League next season, but taking into account the missed matches, Arsenal, Wolverhampton and Tottenham still have chances to beat Manchester United if they win these missed matches. |

At the moment things are not going very well for Atletico Madrid. However, this Coach has achieved many successes in the past, including in the Champions League. He has also been national champion once in recent years, which is a special achievement. You would say they would be stronger this season because they have Griezmann and Suarez back on the team. It may have to do with the fact that there has been no audience at the competitions for a while due to Corona. They still have a few games to recover but the championship is of course very far away. The only goal can now be to force qualification of the Champions League. But maybe Atletico are just not good enough as a team.
I am also not a supporter of quick conclusions and drastic actions, but still losing to the last team of the championship when your team is the current winner of the championship is something. But at the same time, I am not sure that the leadership of Atletico should already draw conclusions and already think about the candidacy of a new head coach. Simply, if Atletico Madrid does not get at least into the next Champions League draw, then it will be a tangible blow to the club budget. It's just that no matter what condition Atletico Madrid is in, the club still has no right to lose points and lose to such opponents, because these lost points may not be enough at the end of the season. |

In addition, Barcelona have to fight for a place in the Champions League. They currently have the same points as Altetic Madrid.
That's why they'll be more focused on La Liga than the Europa League. And for that reason, they will not risk too much in the Europa League, lest they risk jeopardizing their position in the Spanish league. Therefore, at this moment the game needs to go very badly against Napoli to lose the tie.
Barcelona will fight for the Champions League zone, Napoli continue to fight for the Scudetto, each of them has their own goals to achieve. The Europa League is not the tournament that will be a priority for these teams. But also, no one just wants to lose at the playoff level. Both teams have started to recover from recessions, so there could be interesting match. No one is saying that Napoli and Barcelona will give up the fight in the domestic championships and throw all their strength and resources to win the Europa League. In any case, do not forget about the very factor of the confrontation between Barcelona and Napoli, between representatives of Spain and Italy, which in itself already causes some excitement and a loud sign. Xavi has already said on this occasion that Barcelona has only two chances to win titles this season and the club will make every effort to achieve success in this. Another question is that Barcelona does not have such power as in the past and first you need to pass a club like Napoli, which now looks no less a favorite in this match. |

^ I think Manchester United has a really unique problem right now. Everyone wants to play with the squad of Manchester United, but nobody wants to play for Manchester United. it's like if we put the same squad in any other team, they are going to do better. This really seems like a coaching problem. This is a team that can achieve wonders with the squad it has. So the management really needs to be something that can complement the players, someone who understands how to handle a big team full of superstars.
Oh, I wouldn't dare call Manchester United a team full of superstars. The only superstar that the club has is Cristiano Ronaldo. Although, of course, Manchester United's squad is above average and therefore should set itself the task of winning titles, and not fighting for a place among the teams that will participate in the next Champions League draw. By the way, I recall the recent harsh words of Paul Scholes to Manchester United and Rangnick that the club's players do not want to do rough work and work without the ball, because the club should have a real coach, not a sports director who coached for two years in the last ten years. |

In the first half, Dortmund were ahead of the host Union Berlin. M Reus successfully bought 2 Dortmund goals, in the 18th and 25th minutes. With this temporary result, it was easier for them to play in the second half. They dominated the game with 65% possession. I predict they will really win this match.
Dormund were able to maintain the winning till the end of the match yesterday. They also secured another goal in the second. Which probably led to the match ending with 0-3 score. Is was quite unfortunately to see Union Berlin destroyed in their home, they literally couldn't score any goal. However, Dormund have decreases their points gap behind Bayern Munich to 6. if they can win consistently in their next matches. Hopefully, they may succeed in overtaking the 1st position from Munich. I believe that if Dortmund does not lose this single match they actually have a really good chance of getting up with Bayern Munich and giving them a good fight for the title this season. I am actually fed up watching Bayern Munich winning the league title every season over and over again, yeah. and I would really like to see that change this time. A lot of people would like that, but I'm not sure Bayern Munich wants that Munich can afford some failures during the championship, but still compensates for this with wins in matches with its direct competitors and allows much fewer misfires and the club goes the distance much more stable than the rest. Unfortunately, no club can maintain the right pace for the sake of competing with Bayern Munich. Borussia Dortmund is trying to make some competition at the initial stages of the championship, but no more, because it cannot compare with the club from Munich either in financial strength or in strength and depth of the squad, which in the end plays its weighty and decisive role in the fight for the title. |

Will the Ralf Rangnick disaster class continue at Old Trafford tomorrow? Brighton are certainly capable of springing a surprise. I don’t even think anybody can blame Rangnick for the performances. Man Utd have too many over paid players who won’t fight with 100% of what they have. The squad is rotten with bad egos, they need a big clear out.
Manchester United have given us a lot of surprises this season. They also failed to win against the last team in the points table. As a result, I lost a lot of money by betting on their victory. Although Brighton is a weak team, there is no way to say for sure that Manchester United will win this match. I don't want to lose money by betting on this match. But I hope Manchester United can at least win this match. For a long time we have not seen a better performance than Ronaldo. I hope Ronaldo will return to form in this match. Yes, everyone has been waiting for Ronaldo to start scoring his goals again, because six matches without goals is a very bad series for him, which has not happened for 13 years. However, the team is clearly in crisis and no one will be surprised if the club loses points in this match. If this club cannot beat the club that occupies the last place in the Premier League and loses precious points because of this, then it is difficult to count on a high place in the standings and a place in the Champions League, because there are other contenders for this place. Rangnik himself said that in 11 of the 13 matches after his arrival, Manchester United scored first, but did not win all the matches. Therefore, MU must win matches against rivals such as Brighton. |

I really enjoyed especially the matches that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid played in last week. They both had very difficult matches and it reflected on the score very visibly too. Barcelona couldn't win in the derby against Espanyol and they barely saved one point by equalizing the score late in the match. And Atletico Madrid had a big shock against Getafe first as Getafe came back after being 2-0 behind and even got ahead. But they still managed to win it by 4-3 somehow. It was a historical match for sure.
Yes, this match can play its favorable role and allow Atletico Madrid to finally regain self-confidence. Another question is that Atletico continues to concede a lot in the last rounds and after 4 goals from Barcelona, 3 goals from Getafe have now been conceded. Still, we are used to the fact that one of the features of Atletico Madrid's corporate identity under Diego Simeon is a good defensive game. By the way, Simeone said after the match with Getafe that the team does not want to leave the race for the Champions League, that their reality is to fight for getting into the Champions League and that they have to accept it. That is, Simeone no longer expects to win the championship, although, for example, the president of Barcelona still hopes to make a dash for the title if Real Madrid does not win. |

The Atalanta vs juventus was an interesting game that I was expecting more from juventus, Atalanta played more defensive game in the match even if the match ended in draws. Atalanta had performed very well in the match, they were in charge but couldn't score more than 1 goal.
The match was so interesting yesterday, hoping that Juventus will defeat Atalanta 2:0 in the fish half but it was a difficult match for Juventus to have a good chance to win the game. Atalanta really mean the match yesterday by introducing defensive strategies not to allow Juventus to win 2:0 than to make it draw. I know Juventus coach will never forget yesterday match than to go are prepare well against their next match not allow the same thing happened to the team. Juventus coach will need to prove his career this time by improving leading Juventus to win all their remaining matches to achieve the Italian league title of the season. Atalanta should be very annoyed with the way this match ended, because victory was so close and there was a great chance to overtake Juventus in the standings already in this round. I think that winning all the remaining matches could allow any club from the top five of the championship to win the scudetto. However, I don't think it will happen because all these clubs are not perfect. In any case, there are still 14 rounds until the end of the championship and Juventus' 9-point gap with Milan still looks to be won back, although of course the chances of Milan, Inter and Napoli look more preferable for now. All leaders are not perfect in terms of results and lose points. |

I am really waiting for the match tomorrow between PSG vs Real Madrid. Although It may be harder for Real Madrid to defeat PSG,, they should play their best., But in this case, Maybe PSG has a higher chance. PSG has stronger attackers and seems all the attackers are in good condition to show their best. While in Real Madrid, although Benzema is ready to play after getting injured yesterday, I don't think he will play with 100% his best. With this situation, PSG should have a bigger chance to win and qualified for the next stage. Moreover, it is in PSG home. So, I predict PSG will win 3-1 tomorrow.
Quite a bold forecast Although I also believe that there is some advantage on the side of Paris Saint Germain, another question is how this advantage can be realized in practice. In any case, Paris Saint-Germain must be won at its home stadium in order to feel calmer before the second leg, or at least not to lose. By the way, Benzema's participation in the match is still in question and most likely a decision will be made immediately before the match based on the results of pre-match training. Benzema himself wants to take part in the match, but the decision will be made jointly with Ancelotti. By the way, there is information from GFFN with reference to L'Equipe that Pochettino can lead Real Madrid if Ancelotti does not fulfill the tasks for this season. |

It is old news, but as some media reports, Paul Pogba is getting closer to the decision not to extend his Manchester United contract, which expires this summer. Instead of staying at Old Trafford, he would like to go back to Turin. It is still not clear, however, whether the club will make a serious offer to lure him back.
Still like gray about the future of Paul Pogba on Manchester United, although always consistent played on several match for Manchester United after back from injury, I think still not any negotiation or rumor with Paul Pogba keep extended contract with Manchester United, I think have big mistake what the future with Paul Pogba depending who will be candidate for new manager on Manchester United next year, maybe he has reason waiting for new manager is good for his career or not because with Manchester United five year ago without any trophies success get by Pogba. I think that Paul Pogba's future at Manchester United no longer depends on the candidacy of a new head coach, because the paths of the player and the club have already diverged. There was also information recently that Juventus agreed to sign Pogba only if his salary was lowered. Despite the fact that Pogba can move to Juventus as a free agent, the club is not ready to pay the 290,000 pounds a week that he receives at Manchester United. Juventus has generally been quite economical about this lately and it is precisely because of this that it does not extend the contract with Dibala, not agreeing to raise his salary and offering an agreement only on the same terms. |

Juventus got a nice result in this really tough game. I wasn't expecting for them to win as their opponent was too difficult to defeat.
I don't think the draw was a nice result for Juventus. In theory, they must win this match because they have everything to defeat Atalanta. Juventus players are much better than Atalanta players. Moreover, Allegri released all Juventus best players in this match, including Vlahovic as their new striker. But I'm surprised that Juventus couldn't dominate the match, Atalanta won the ball possession and total shots attempts. This makes me think that Juventus midfielders played poorly, Allegri needs to improve this line if they want to optimize their trio attackers Morata-Vlahovic-Dybala. Juventus strikers need more good passes to make a bigger chance to score. In any case, one point is better than his absence, and also let's not forget that Juventus and Atalanta are also fighting among themselves and are next in the standings and a win against Juventus would allow Atalanta to beat their opponent right now. Therefore, taking into account all these circumstances and the fact that Juventus escaped in the time already added by the referee, we can really talk about a good result for Juventus. I perfectly understand Gasperini, who refused to talk to the media after the match, because Atalanta has too many similar situations this season when the team cannot succeed in favorable situations. On the other hand, Atalanta still has one match left. |

Barcelona have taken the fourth place back from Atletico Madrid today by drawing with Espanyol 2-2. But this game was really interesting. Barcelona were the better side as they had many more dangerous attacks. But Espanyol still stayed in the game and actually caused them big trouble too. Because they turned the game around after being left 1-0 behind and got 2-1 ahead. They did a great job until the last moments by keeping the score like that. But somehow, Barcelona still managed to score the equalizer in the last minute.
If Barcelona wants to continue to count on something this season, and in the current situation it is participation in the next Champions League draw, then it must score as many points as possible. But a derby is a derby and completely different factors come into force here, which can completely change all the pre-match layouts. Therefore, on the one hand, you can rejoice at such a result and a miraculous rescue in the last seconds of the match, and on the other hand, do not forget that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are fighting for the same place in the standings and this draw to some extent sniveled the victory in a face-to-face meeting with Atletico, which has been experiencing great difficulties in the results lately. |
