Juventus now have a real opportunity to become the leaders of the standings... They have an absolute lead in the game and I hope that the second half for Juventus will be no worse than the first... However, Monza have not lost their last five home matches...
Monza hasnt lost a single game at home since the start of the season but now it looks like they will lose. Juventus leads 0-1 against Monza and knowing their good defence i dont think they will drop points in this match. I think Juventus has a perfect chance to take the first place today. |

First half ended 0-0 and probobly the most insane result we could have seen from a match so far. There a couple of chances on both sides and im shocked there wasnt any goals. The match is high quality even tho its just 0-0. I think this match can resolve the leagues way if it will be intresting. Would be good for Al Nassr must win to keep their title hopes alive.
In the second half it had to be 3 goals and it was a difficult thing while we know how resilient Al Nassr is but this time they seemed a little emotional and their defense was quite careless especially when Mitrovic in the 89th - 90+2nd minute was really unfortunate for Al Nassr. At the start of this match it was fierce and I thought they would reply to each other's goals but that didn't happen, with this result Al Nassr had to submit and now the point difference is getting farther and farther with Al Hilal who topped the SPL standings. As expected we seen a lot of goals,it was seen in the first half that there must be goals in the second half and that happened but only from Al Hilal way. Al Hilal won with serbian players that dominated with all three goals and they show their quality each time. I think Mitrovic can also overtake Ronaldo by the end of the season as top goalscorer. |

For sure, Manchester City will have an easy win against Tottenham Hotspur because of their injury crisis, but it will not be easy for Manchester City to top the Premier League table soon, Arsenal will fight to be on top of the Premier League table till this year finish. Arsenal being on top of the Premier League table can make them to win most of their matches just to remain at the top of the Premier League table.
With Tottenham situation now, I don t think the scheme will be much different from Tottenham like the previous few week. They will fight back, it's just that they will also find it difficult to control the game, especially in the final minutes of the first half and the second half, which makes this an advantage for Manchester City. Currently Tottenham is still a lot of gaps that can be penetrated and this will weaken them. I still feel Tottenham's resistance will still be there in this match, its just that for this victory it will be a victory for Manchester City and I am quite sure of that, especially in the next week Manchester City will play home at the Etihad Stadium. 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. Tottenham aint looking good are going in an away match and i think at this time going up against Man City in Manchester is just not good for them. Man City now has a good chance to get some easier points against one of the bigger teams in the league because Tottenham is in bad form plus have a lot of injuries |

Goal has been ranked the teams based on their power https://www.goal.com/en/lists/champions-league-2023-24-power-rankings/1. Real madrid 2. Manchester city 3. Arsenal 4. Bayern 5. Intermilan To be honest, i would value intermilan far stronger compared with arsenal and it shall be in the third place. Seeing intermilan was able reaching UCL final last season but arsenal was not even entering into the UCL. In my opinion, the author's assessment of Arsenal's score seems somewhat unusual. The thing that surprises me that if author has been placing manchester united as the weakest team in the UCL so far. It's only above braga which is a shame. I fully agreed with the author regarding the position of manchester united. United is now a mediocre team in UCL. It's finished now and united has probably 10% chance to qualify for the knock out stage. It shows that how garbage manchester united under ten hag. Real Madrid and Man City for me are the main favorites to win the title i give a bigger chance to Man City to defending it but when the knockout faze comes Real Madrid just becomes a superior team for some reason,so the title can go either way. Arsenal for me aint that good to reach even the final. While Man Utd is just awful and for them is a question if they can even get that third position. |

Roma got a draw vs Servette in today's game.. Epic fail and they gave the first spot for Slavia Praha. Both of these teams will qualify either directly to the next round or go through play-offs.
There is only Group C and H were the qualified / play-offs teams are still to be declared apart from Bayer Leverkusen in Group H. Qarabag should follow since Molde will face Leverkusen in the last match.
In Group C, Real Betis, Rangers and Sparta Prague have the chance to pass. Since Real Betis will face Rangers then if Sparta Prague win then they will guarantee qualification
This draw hurted badly Roma. They need to know how to attack. You cannot always after a goal go back and park the bus and just try and defend. Servette attacked and had huge chances and they score . I think they even deserved the win in this match but just could score more |

We watched the Turkish team in disgrace tonight.
I don't understand how they can lose like this.
Beşiktaş is playing badly, but how can Fenerbahçe be beaten with these scores.
This is a troubling score for Fenerbahçe, a bad point loss.
Besiktas is bad this season and probobly one of their worst seasons in a long time. They got destroyed at home and there something needs to change. While Fenerbahce lost really badly and they start the season with perfection. But got destroyed aswell and Turkish football got a bad beat today |

Both Servette and AS Roma have come into this Europa League fixture in good form, with Roma making a strong start to their Europa League campaign, winning three of their four games and finishing second in the group. Servette, however, have struggled in the Europa League so far, finishing third in Group G with just four points from four matches. They will be keen to secure a win at home and improve their chances of going into the knockout stages. However, Roma lost their last Europa League match 2-0 against Slavia Prague. Although Roma are strong on paper, they are looking to bounce back from recent defeats in their struggles away from home. I think the Servette vs Roma match is likely to be a draw.
I'm not entirely convinced that a tie will occur in this game. Roma is the favorite to win today's game since, in my opinion, they are a stronger squad than Servette. I am really confident that Roma, even though they are playing as the away club, will win, even when considering their last leg encounter. Roma appears to be in good shape and well-prepared to win, and I think this is because they are better than Servette and will therefore have the advantage to win. Servette may look strong at home, but I don't think they'll put on a particularly strong display against Roma that would end in a draw. In the next two hours, let's watch how things develop and predict what might happen on the field. Roma are away in this match but they are the clear favourites as the difference in player quality is also quite evident in today's match. But looking at the game in this almost finished first half even though Roma did have the ball I didn't see them dominating the game even looking at the chances Servette were actually better although their finishing was poor. Roma took a 1 goal lead thanks to Lukaku but from 45 minutes of running time I only saw this one goal which was Roma's best chance so far. IMO this does not reflect a big club competing with a club that can still be said to be mediocre even though they are good to be in the Europa League but who knows this Servette. Second half I think Roma need to be better to show the difference in the quality of the club because even now they can still get 3 points thanks to 1 goal but I'm not too impressed with the final result. Roma leading 0-1 at halftime they could have scored at least one more but they got lucky they didnt concede a couple of goals. Servette playing good and made a lot of problems to Romas defence but just couldnt score. If they continue like this they might score. |

I suppose there really is nothing after Champions League, huh. No mentions anywhere about the ambitions of 2nd-tier teams (including Liverpool?).
At least we know already Barca won't drop down here for a third season running -- but are we perhaps going to welcome Man United? Wouldn't mind it, to be honest, with the way they're playing.
Let’s get this qualification stamped tonight. After Klopp revealed the extent of Alisson & Jota injuries it will be interesting to see what happens over the next 2 weeks. Kelleher would have started tonight any way as we always make wholesale changes for the Europa League but we need him to get up to speed & full of confidence because he’s going to be relied upon until Alisson is back. I don’t see anything else except a comfortable win for us tonight, no matter who Klopp plays. We are much stronger than LASK, regardless of the fact we will make multiple changes. Prediction - LFC to score over 3.5 goals Line up came up and its a good one for Liverpool. I think they will win this easily and like you said they might even score more then four goals if they want to go 100% at this game. A win here would maybe even seal the first place for Liverpool in this group to skip a round in the knockout faze |

It would be too much to put all the blame on Onana about this draw for Manchester United side. It is absolutely the truth that he made mistakes leading to goal. However I can't say Manchester United had a great defending either. Because Maguire and Lindelöf aren't the players to trust very much in the defense line. Even Varane is in the substitutes just think about how serious the situation is for Manchester United at the moment. Martinez's loss is felt really a lot in their defense area.
Ziyech played really extra by two free-kick goals and made a nice assist too. By the way I didn't expect that shot by Kerem to end up by a goal honestly. I was really suprised. Galatasaray are keeping their hopes alive for the Champions League more than Manchester United for sure.
I think he is the main reason for the loss. If he didnt mess those free kicks up they would have won the match easily and would have gonna through. I think this draw is eliminating them from the champions league o most for sure. They need some insane stuff to happen so that they go through |

Galatasaray vs Manchester United
What comes to mind is that this is an important determinant of victory for both teams to maintain their hopes of qualifying for the round of 16 and what happened in this match was a momentary moment in time. Still can't believe that Manchester United, who were already ahead with 3 goals, managed to be chased by Galatasaray and at the same time closed the match with a 3-3 draw. This proves that even winning by 3 goals does not allow Manchester United to win safely and that is a mistake that they should have corrected long ago.
Manchester United's chance of winning suddenly disappeared and I felt that their performance in that match was quite good, but it's just that Andre Onana didn't perform optimally to guard his goal. Andre Onana looked annoyed after the match ended and threw his gloves. Galatasaray's match proved that they are still worthy of fighting for second place in the group stage. Well, it's hard for me to digest what happened but it was a good match with all the drama that happened on the pitch.
I saw Onana wasn't concentrating very well, with two free kicks from Hakim Ziyech going into the net and that's one of the things Onana didn't do well and he should have anticipated better, but he made a mistake the second time, that's unlucky. How could Man United not have won if Onana had done a good job but what happened the blunders still happened and this in an important match where Man United almost qualified for the next phase but had to disappear even though there was still a chance but it was still thin and we never thought there was more magic in the last match. Quite sorry to bet on Man United as well, having to draw a game that could have been won. Ahhh  Onana is the main reason why Man Utd didnt take the three points and this two big mistakes by Onana will probobly cost Man Utd huge because now i think all the hopes for Man Utd are gone of passing to the next round. They need a draw by Galatasaray and that they win against Bayern Munich so i think they might even lose the europe league spot. |

The match was quite interesting with the way the goals were coming, perhaps Lens will be very careful when next they Will meet Arsenal because Arsenal has proving to them that there performance can never be compared with theirs. Perhaps I no that Arsenal is very inform but I never imagine they would score this much against lens.
Arsenal always plays very well at home. Good game for Arsenal to ensure their qualification as Manchester United fail out from the competition. Havertz scored again for Arsenal after his winning goal for them against Brentford in the premier league. Scoring like this is good for him, because it was about time, he started bringing his contributions to the team. From England, Manchester City, Arsenal and Newcastle have made them proud. For Manchester United, this was not expected of them. Now we wait for the draws, to see the teams to face each other in the knockout round. Arsenal plays well at home but i didnt expect them that they would play this good at home against Lens. They just destoyed them in the first half and the match was already done then. With this win they secured the next stage od the champions league while Lens still has a chance in the last round. |

It was a really bad day for Barcelona today. They played horrible in the first half which cost them really a lot. There was some sign of recovery in the second half though. But I must admit that their performance was still poor and not convincing. If they were more accurate with their shots on target then they could have surely won the game as well.
Because Vallecano were like they weren't playing in the second half. They were just focused on getting at least one point and they got the thing they wanted too. Even Barcelona's goal was an own goal scored by a Vallecano defender. As Atletico Madrid have just won against Mallorca they have even got ahead of Barcelona in the standings despite playing one less number of games.
Barcelona played terrible and they dropped some important points and that will cost them high. Atletico Madrid won and they are know close to the top. They won barely but got the win and this is what matters to win in this small game for the title. Girona profited high. |

Brentford defence is really solid to have held it down till the 88 minutes before arsenal saw the back of the net. They've really made arsenal sweat to get a goal, though Brentford hasn't been converting their chances, if not they would have been able to get a goal or two by now, but their defensive style has really been impressive. The Brentford attackers haven't shown much Impression.
Brentford coach, Thomas Frank is dissapointed with his team's performance after defeats against Gunners. Mikel Arteta and his men are ontop of the EPL table, good news for the club and these players deserved accolades. Brentford is one of the competitive team that have sights on elite teams, not holding back but focusing on winning the opposition which proven difficult and denied accumulating three points today. The Bees got defeated at home after applying a tremendous defensive style. Arsenal was almost tie to draw but Kai Havertz open the scoring injury time, that was the goal the team have been longing for. Well he played against one the best teams in the league. Arsenal after this round our first on the table and i think its not a big loss for them. I think they could have done a lot more in this match but they just didnt have the quality to go against Arsenal in todays match. |

Leverkusen continues to keep their stand as a top team this season although I didn't expect any less from them today but I was literally not particularly about how well they will be performing today so it was More like an open heart to this match accepting whatever the outcome would be.
Considering the facts they they are just coming back from the international break, they were both considerd to be in a good for so I taught it will be a bit of risk to be particular about any of their performance but impressively Bayern Leverkusen turned out so well and we must say Xabi is scaling newer heights with this team because he is bringing a different level of consistency into game play and it's indeed yielding desired results.
There is no doubt that Xabi Alonso is truly capable of making Bayern Leverkusen continue to reach the highest level. The victory over Bremen again became an asset to continue on the winning path. I believe that if Alonso's squad doesn't have any significant problems then the target of winning the Bundesliga this season will be very realistic. Leverkusen and Bayern Munich are head to toe. They are really the only condenters for the title. Alonso is doing an amazing job and his move to Real Madrid will be perfect for sure. He had proven with this squad that he can be an elite coach and there is no doubt that he will dominate |

Ouch, what a round. I picked 5/7 wrong outcomes so far. Luckily it's the same for y'all.
I was quite happy with Liverpool's performance today - a stupid, stupid goal but otherwise we did ok.
I did not expect Newcastle with so many injuries to walk over Chelsea - but Chelsea is a cointoss team this season. You never know what kind of performance they're gonna give.
You are not the only one i picked all of them wrong thankfully i got 2 right and they were correct results bad i am mad that i didnt pick 1-1 for Man City Livepool match i knew that some players wouldnt play for City and forgot to change the results. But a good thing i made a difference on the first place so this ended up as a good round. |

So much for the upcoming big Chelsea,lol,a totally destroyed team by Newcastle without much sweat,I bet on a Chelsea or draw as I thought they are in a great recent form,totally different from Newcastle which was doing really bad recently and they could not keep up a real good fight against Newcastle.
To many surprise results here tonight,including Luton town winning against Crystal Palace,at least West Ham did a great job in turning things around tonight,also the Nottingham game was a good one,I hope Arsenal can win easily in the night game that is about to start now,they should do so to take profit from the draw of City and Liverpool.
I was expecting a lot more effort from the Chelsea team because they are in good form but Newcastle bounced back really quick and won easily against Chelsea. With this win they are still in it for the champions title. I think Newcastle has a good chance of being at the very top |

Man City and Liverpool ended up with a draw. The game wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be. Man City's performance was a bit disappointing. It seemed like they didn't really want to score a second goal after getting the first one. I think they're missing some spark and identity because Kevin De Bruyne is not playing.
The race for the title is going to be close. Now, it's up to Arsenal. If they win their next match, they'll be back at the top of the table. The ball is in Arsenal's court now.
I dont know why i went with Man City in the match so mad at myself. I knew that Liverpool could make a draw here and score a goal but just didnt cross my mind. The league is now getting so intresting with so many even teams at the top and i honestly dont know who can win it. |

I have heard how the commentators in the match of al nassr was reacting to the ronaldo's goal made me feel so pumped. I meant if i have been hearing amazing things from the commentators after ronaldo's amazing goal. How amazing this guy is.
Ronaldo is so amazing. SIIIIIIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG this guy was fucking amazing despite 39 years old and he is still able making amazing goal. There are many people were also feeling the same atmosphere when ronaldo was making a spectacular goal.
3 nil, Al Nassr beats Al Okhdood and they're heading for first position on SPL table this season. He's the only one capable of netting such magnificent goals from far range in Saudi Pro League, because he's experienced and always makes his calculations whenever he feels he's into one of these crucial phases. Oh my word, he's aged 38 and can still deliver in important moments, Ronaldo banged a brace within the range of 3 minutes. That's exceptionally a player from a different planet, he's keen on becoming on improvement in every game he plays for Al Nassr. From another planet we have Messi, and Ronaldo is just a workaholic and a perfectionist. Although you have to give him credit, when he was not the best period without goals, and Messi at this time scored for Inter Miami seemed that the sunset of Ronaldo's career is close, but then he was like a phoenix bird as if born again in soccer terms and began to score almost without interruption and on his account already 38 goals in 43 matches. His last goal from 30 meters is a real art of soccer, because he hit the ball a little stronger or a little weaker and the ball would have flown across the goal, and so hit exactly in the gate without a chance for defenders. In general, given Ronaldo results we will enjoy his game for at least another year. Ronaldo always scores dosent matter what league it he is just lethal. This goal was amazing just saw it and insane precision. He continues to break records and think if he stay in this league he can play for at least a few more years for sure. He is in form now so i think he can score a lot more goals for sure. |

Of course, this match will be very important match for both teams.
I really hope Al Nassr will win the match, so the race for the title will be tighter between Al Nassr and Al Hilal.
But if Al Hilal wins the match, I think Al Hilal will be the champion with no doubt. Al Nassr won the game against Al Akhdoud, in a game in which Al Nassr managed to score 3 goals, with Ronaldo scoring 2 goals, it was a very easy victory, with this victory Al Nassr has 34 points, and continues in second position in the table, today there will be a game against Al Hilal who are at the top of the table with 35 points, and they will play against the worst team in the league, in other words they will play against an extremely weak team, I'm talking about the Al Hazm team who currently occupy the last position in the table, and in the last 5 games Al Hazm managed to win only 1 game, that is, it will be an easy victory for Al Hilal and with this victory Al Hilal will continue at the top of the table with 38 points and will be 4 points advantage over Al Nassr, honestly I highly doubt that Al Hilal will not become champion Big win for Al nassr to keep up with Al Hilal for the title. Two big condetenders dropped points and this is a big win for them after this round. Al Nassr could have scored more but ended up with an easy win and things are looking good for them now. They just need to hope that Al Hilal drops points |
