It was a football feast yesterday definitely!  

Have you noticed that all the time Real Madrid - Manchester City matches are very enjoyable to follow? I remember a match Real Madrid won by 4-3 before and this one also ended by a score like 3-3. Both sides did their best to win and I can't say one side deserved more than the other. Thankfully Real Madrid showed a really good performance to make the match more entertaining. I was afraid of them to play like they did against Leipzig.  

It was a really unfortunate result for Arsenal also. I really wanted them to win. But if you can't win home then I don't have much hope in the rematch...

By the way Saka's penalty should have been given in the last moments. I think it was also a big referee mistake and this might not be the only one too...

By the way have you seen this? This is an AI prediction for next Champions League winners until 2103. Still no Arsenal...  

I would like to add an interesting detail about this topic also. During the race the team offered a different plan than Leclerc thought of. It didn't made sense for Leclerc to gain positions so he offered his own plan. The team trusted him and applied his plan instead. This really helped Leclerc climb to 4th position at the end of the race. 

However this situation also shows how problematic Ferrari still are when it comes to planning strategies. I mean their plan was far worse than Leclerc's and probably it was going to cause him to finish around a position in which he started. 

Once again Liverpool failed in the task of beating Manchester United...    The first half was completely dominated by Liverpool. Shots were coming at Onana like rain but Liverpool scored only 1 goal in the half. This was going to cost them really a lot. Then Manchester United's comeback came as a shocker. Salah at least helped his team save 1 point but this is a really bad result for Liverpool.

Because now Arsenal have taken the lead from them. The points are equal though but it is still an important advantage.

Arsenal have the toughest fixture though as far as I see. I wonder if we will see Arteta's journey ending up with sadness again... 

İkisi de kayıpsız geçti hocam. Manchester City ilk geriye düşse de Crystal Palace'ı 4-2 geçti. De Bruyne 2 gol ve 1 asistle on numara oynadı. Real Madrid karşısında da Manchester City'nin en önemli silahlarından birisi net. Arsenal tahmin ettiğimden çok daha rahat bir şekilde Brighton'ı 3-0 geçti. Liverpool Brighton karşısında zorlanmıştı o yüzden bi şüphelenmiştim. Liverpool'a gelince şu ana kadar 2 maçta da Manchester United'ı deviremedi. Bu maçta bana sanki bu seriyi kıracaklar gibi geliyor ama göreceğiz.

Tuchel zaten geçenki Dortmund yenilgisi sonrası şampiyonluk yarışının kendileri için resmen bittiğini kabul eden bir açıklamada bulunmuştu. Bayern Münih'in bu haftaki mağlubiyeti beni aşırı şaşırttı diyemem o yüzden. Tek şaşırdığım nokta 2-0 öne geçmelerine rağmen 2. yarıda 3 gol art arda yiyerek kağıt üzerinde zayıf rakibine yenilmesi oldu.

Leverkusen bu şampiyonluğu sonuna kadar hak ediyor. Xabi Alonso devrim niteliğinde bir iş yapmak üzere. Namağlup bir şekilde mi sezonu bitirecekler en çok merak ettiğim konu o. Koskoca sezonda hiçbir turnuvada maç kaybetmediler. 

Yeah, besides these two teams have a really good history in the Champions League also.    7 titles for Milan and 3 titles for Inter... I still can't forget the legendary Milan squad with Dida, Shevchenko, Inzaghi any many more great players. Some people even measure how much a person loves football by if they know that legendary Milan squad by heart. 

These days Inter have a really powerful squad but I don't like Milan's that much. It is hard to bring back those days as the competition gets more difficult every day. But at least they can improve their squad more which would help being more competitive in the Champions League next season.

Yeah, it was the last time Ferrari won on Suzuka track. Today it didn't happen once again so the series has reached 20 years now.    As long as nothing happens to Verstappen's car like in the Australia GP there was no way he was losing the win to another driver. I can't say 100% maybe as he is also human but his concentration level and the balance of the car combined is just so broken.  

At least Ferrari were on podium today with Sainz. Leclerc followed right behind by making up for his poor qualifying result.

Ferrari can finish the season in the 2nd position this time if things don't get messy.

I have seen this photo on Twitter and I wanted to share.    It compares the teams with at least 6 CL titles to the ones that have less number of titles. Maybe you will say "Why does it have to be 6?" and I questioned the same thing also. I guess it is just some meme to smile at.

We see some really big teams on the left side of the wall which can actually achieve it that many times. There is only 1 left for Barcelona and Manchester City have a big potential to win 5 more times unless Guardiola leaves for now.

It is really difficult for Barcelona to get that one though while they aren't improving much. 

Napoli açısından kötü olur evet o kesin ama Osimhen gibi sağlam bir forveti bu şekilde takımda tutmaları çok zor olacak. Şampiyonlar Ligi'ne kalamayacaklar hatta herhangi bir turnuvaya katılmaları bile zor görünüyor. Serbest kalma bedeline gelince bu konu hakkında net bir bilgi maalesef yok. 120-130 milyon euro aralığında bir değer olduğu söyleniyor.

Chelsea bu parayı vermesine verebilir de Osimhen oraya gitmek ister mi? Bence pek istemeyebilir.    Onlar da kötü bir sezon geçiriyorlar ve Şampiyonlar Ligi hayal oldu.

John van 't Schip is doing a better work than the recent managers they have signed. They don't lose so many matches from now on however the problem is that they get a lot of draws. This is likely to cost them not only the Champions League but also the Europa League. We will probably watch them in the Conference League once again. 

Do you think they would change their manager once again? Truthfully if I were in their place I would give the current manager a chance in the summer for building the squad better and see what he will do next season.

Maybe next season we might see Ajax slowly returning to their bright times again. 

Fransa büyük turnuvalarda genel olarak daha profesyonel bir oyun ortaya koyuyor. İngiltere genel olarak onlara kıyasla daha kolay bir şekilde dağılabiliyor. Euro 2020'de İngiltere'nin başarısı takdir edilesi tabi ki ama böyle turnuvalarda çok tutarlı bir takım olduklarını söyleyemem. Halbuki teknik direktörleri ile 8 senedir birlikteler yani böyle bir kadronun daha ön plana çıkması lazım. Bence de Fransa şampiyon olacak. Ev sahibi Almanya'dan da beklentiler büyük olur ama finale bile çıkabilirler mi şüphelerim var.

Yeah, I can imagine how mad they are right now after losing the match like that. Only a day left for this big match at Old Trafford. It is going to be lovely to watch hopefully rather than a boring one. 

I see the odds like Manchester United have 4.50 for the win while Liverpool have 1.63. In these critical times for the PL championship I really want to bet on Liverpool win here truthfully. However it comes to my mind that Liverpool couldn't beat them in 2 matches this season. Klopp must be prepared for his competitor this time to win. Manchester United are really weak in defense. Liverpool should finally take advantage of that.

We have left the qualifying behind. Verstappen didn't surprise anyone and took pole position. However it wasn't the easiest one though. Perez was also really close to pole position.    I wasn't expecting to see Norris up there truthfully. I'm wondering how good his racing pace will be already now. It wasn't one of the best qualifying days for Ferrari on the other hand.

While Sainz was doing pretty good Leclerc was having big issues with the car. He didn't look like he was comfortable with it. I think the best position he can finish in would be the 5th or maybe 4th place but I expect him to finish behind Sainz in the circumstances.

Almeria ve Granada bence de artık matematiksel olarak olmasa da mantıksal olarak düştüler. Düşecek son takımı şu an için tahmin etmek zor. Sevilla'nın bulunduğu nokta ise hala oldukça riskli yani düşme hattının sadece 6 puan üzerinde. Kalan 8 haftada biraz formlarını düzeltmezlerse düşme tehlikesi bile yaşayabilirler. Sevilla bu sezon hem Şampiyonlar Ligi'nde rezaletti hem de ligde kayda değer bir gelişme gösteremedi.

Yeni teknik direktör Quique Sánchez Flores ligde çıktığı 14 maçın sadece 5'ini kazanabildi. Takımı ligde tutsa bile geleceği pek parlak olmayabilir.

The Chelsea - Manchester United match was really insane...  Whenever I thought about a side to win there was a comeback by the other right after.    None of those comebacks were easy ones surely. The Premier League has got more exciting and fun to watch lately, don't you think?    We started to see many matches with a lot of goals lately.



Palmer was just spectacular! Making a hat-trick and scoring in such late minutes to bring the win to Chelsea were both really admirable work.

Inter and Milan fans are really different than the fans of other teams in this league truthfully. It feels like these 2 teams have the best fans who are preparing great choreographies for especially big matches.    I really love to watch the matches between these teams in every season also. It is really heated because of an eternal rivalry between.

They are bonding with their players a lot also. For example Hakan Çalhanoğlu's leaving Milan to join Inter made the fans very disappointed and they showed a big reaction to that.

Losing one of your best playes to your rival could be the worst thing really. 

It is really nice to see Japanese Grand Prix not being cancelled.    We have already left 2 practice sessions behind also. There was a Red Bull dominance in the first one and Mercedes drivers looked really good too. On the other hand the second practice session didn't last long due to a rain burst. Drivers were able to go for only 7 laps the most.

I'm really wondering whether we would have another interesting race with surprising results but I'm pushing my luck there I guess. 

It will probably be under Verstappen's dominance and Red Bulls can take the first 2 spots at the end of the race I think. Do you think Sainz would see another podium? 

Evet şu noktada Euro 2024 gibi büyük bir turnuvaya katılırken kadro seçimini çok büyük bir özenle yapmak gerekiyor. Semih Kılıçsoy da çok yetenekli bir genç forvet. Son günlerde Beşiktaş'ta ve U21 milli takım kadrosunda gösterdiği performanslar ile takdiri hak ediyor. Bence de U21 yerine A milli takım tercihi ciddi ciddi düşünülmeli. Aynı şekilde diğer yetenekli gençlerimizi de A milli takım kadrosunda görmek istiyorum. İlk 11 seçimi artık Montella'ya kalmış ama turnuva kadrosuna böyle oyuncular kadro derinliği için mutlaka alınmalı.

Manchester City have a really tight fixture lately. They have another PL match to play in 2 days and only 3 days after that one they are going to play the first leg in the Champions League. Guardiola has a really tough job to do truthfully. Because they are in a fierce fight for the PL title on the other hand. He can't just do a big rotation as a result.

De Bruyne and Haaland were rested in the Aston Villa match. However Haaland's rest might have a different reason. His form has dropped a lot lately as you know. 

I really wonder who we will see there in the first leg, Haaland or Alvarez?

Sigaraya da yeni bir zam geldi ve bugün itibariyle geçerli olması bekleniyor.

JTİ grubundaki en ucuz sigara 58 lira en pahalısı ise 69 liraya yükselmiş. Yeni yıl zamları tüm hızıyla devam ediyor diyebiliriz.    En can sıkıcı olanlardan birisi de kakao alım fiyatlarının aşırı yükselmesi sonrası çikolata fiyatlarına beklenen dev zam. Ülkemizde bu dev zamlar refahı yüksek ülkelerdekine kıyasla daha derinden etkiliyor malum. Ayrıca enflasyon artmaya devam ettikçe biz daha ne zamlar görürüz kim bilir.
