It is incredible how Gravina now invented a new rule to remove the red card from Lukaku to allow him to play against Juventus in the second leg of the Coppia Italia.
That was a complicated decision made since there was racism claim and some pushing to remove the ban from the game since Lukaku is the only one to be punished there and not the naughty Juve fans doing silly stuff. Anyway, Inter isn't in their best shape whether playing with Lukaku or not and Juve have to win regardless of their opponents conditions.
Lazio lost with 1 goal vs Torino, giving Juve a chance to overtake them in case they win vs Napoli tomorrow, could they? Odds are close, we will see. |

It seems that the spots from two to four are still open and there are three teams able to compete for them and they are marseille lens and monaco and today two of them will face each other and lens vs monaco should be the highlight of this round lens has the home advantage and i like their performance better this season compared to monaco i pick them to win the game but i won't be surprised if they lose either that's how good monaco team sometimes is.
At the opposite of the other major leagues, there is a different between the top 4 spots here. Being second will grant direct access to Champions League next season while third rank will grant a UCL qualifiers spot, so more work to do... 4th spot is for Europa League and 5th for the Conference League qualifiers. There is 6 rounds after that one and indeed, nothing is guaranteed in these spots apart from the first one going to PSG most likely. |

Real Madrid continues to win, they get their win very easily, the team is very ready for every match. It was so obvious that the first pass scored in the first goal would be a goal. After a single Vinius pass, Asensio scored a goal. Real Madrid does this kind of fast attacks very well. 5 minutes later they scored with Militao. Nice cross from the corner kick. After the second goal, Real-Madrid relaxed and completely dominated the game. Real Madrid caught the rhythm again and continue to win everywhere.
Celta Vigo aren't that top team and it is good to see Real Madrid not falling in a trap vs them. Until now, the points difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid are 8 points. Barcelona will face Atletico Madrid tomorrow which have a good winning strike at the opposite of Barcelona which have 2 draws. If Barcelona drop points, that would be a very good news for Real Madrid |

Many goals scored as usual in this round of Bundesliga and we have too unexpected results, this time from Bayern Munich after their defeat with 3 goals vs Mainz. Mane scored in the first half then Mainz knocked Bayern with 3 goals in the second half in just 15 minutes. Great start Tuchel..
Dortmund are leading with 2 goals to 0 vs Frankfurt after 30 minutes of the game and the ranking right now looks epic with Dortmund first with 60 points followed by Bayern with 59 points. Union, Leipzig and Freiburg will play later so we can have the new ranking.

If Liverpool can win the next two matches, they will move up a few steps in the points table. Newcastle United can occupy Liverpool's place. I hope Liverpool will perform consistently in these few matches
You mean Liverpool can occupy Newcastle United place. There is 6 points difference between them and Newcastle still missing a game that will be played home against Spurs tomorrow where they have a better odds. Liverpool won with some difficulties against Nottingham.. They could've done better in my opinion. Leicester escaped from the relegation zone after winning vs Wolves today, yet they are still at risk. |

Now it's really bad because with their current condition and the 3 draws they won indirectly, their condition has worsened in terms of points.
What is benefiting now is Manchester City especially with the condition where they are now only with a Gap of 5 points and will meet Arsenal at the end of April and with their condition that they still have 2 matches left, it is clear that this makes Manchester City have the upper hand now.
I think it's a little bit complicated because Arsenal's only chance to win at the moment is just to win with Manchester City to increase their points and of course this is something that is not easy.
Arsenal just gave a hand to Manchester City to rescue them from losing the title this season and to save me too since I voted for City in this topic  Gunners are so brave! Now the future of City is on their hands. If they win the 2 missing games + their match vs Arsenal then they will be 4 points above all with only 5 matches missing. Assuming Arsenal will not lose any match from that point, City has to won in 4 from these 5. It is early to speculate much but City had a golden opportunity to win EPL + FA Cup + Champions League |

Stuttgart vs Augsburg
31 minutes have been played in this match. Augsburg is already ahead in this match. The current score is 1–0. The score is currently in favor of Augsburg. probably going to be another loss for Stuttgart. But still, quite a long way to go in this match. Let’s see what happens.
Augsburg 1 - 0 Stuttgart after 67 minutes of the game. Such result will make Augsburg in a safer position from relegation with at least 5 points difference. In the other hand, Stuttgart will be at risk of direct relegation in case of a surprising results from Schalke or Hertha.. |

Paris Saint Germain will be playing against Anger tonight, is going to be an easy win for Paris Saint Germain because Anger are in 20th position while Paris Saint Germain are occupying the number one Position, Paris Saint Germain are out of all Competiton at the moment and are the favorite team to win the league title by the end of the season, they have been the team dominating the French League for a very long time and with the kind of players they have, no team will be able to stop them from winning it this season.
PSG being desperate for a trophy this season you mean Even that would not make them lose easy games like they used to do sometimes, luckily for them it happens only sometimes. Today they are leading 2 - 0 against Angers which is a good result for a first half. Mbappe scored both goals. For Angers, their relegation is confirmed by 99% whatever the results of the others teams were. |

In any case, Italian football is doing well. Quite successful in international football in the EL and CL. But that Juventus now has the 15 points back is a very strange story. Not that it is unjustified, but Juventus has played all the last matches with the intention that it would make it to European football and I think you go into those matches with a different intention. Then you are actually dealing with an unintended form of competition distortion. But even then Juventus are not even sure of a 2nd place, as Lazio are still in 2nd place. It's sour for teams that would otherwise finish 4th and would have been admitted directly to the CL.
You might find members here that could write a book about weird things happening in Italian football. Let's just say that Juve 15 points story will not be the end of that  Juve performance improved a lot after this sanction since they were trying to catch the European competitions train. Now since they are secure, they have to keep that place.
Verona 1 - Bologna in a long first half extra time, thanks to a VAR checked penalty. |

The last time Milan won the Champions League title was in the 2006-07 season. I still can't forget about that legendary Milan lineup as well. They were one of the best and strongest teams in the Champions League back in the day. After those times passed they couldn't get too close to the title here. But in the recent years things started to go their way in the Serie A first.
And now we are seeing Milan to have made it to the Champions League semi finals. They have a pretty good chance to qualify for the finale by eliminating Inter as well. Napoli were a more challenging opponent in my opinion. They still need to be very careful against Inter though. Because Inter are not in good shape in the Serie A lately maybe but they are doing very good in the Champions League.
Milan and Inter odds are the same in this match regardless of the support of bookies to this. Maybe Milan is slightly in a better shape than Inter in Serie A at least but here is Champions League where everything could happen. Literally everything could happen in both games, City - Real Madrid isn't that easy game too. We might expect many goals in May |

I was expecting this to be an easy match up for Arsenal and a sure shot win for them but Southampton scored the first goal in the very first minute of the match, expecting multiple goals in the first half and hopefully we wont see an upset and if that happens many multi bets would be in jeopardy  . Edit: Walcott scored the second goal for Southampton Arsenal 1 - 2 Southampton since the first 20 minutes of the game. Gunners were able to reduce the difference from 2 points in less than 15 minutes to 1 goal, yet the situation is not good for them. They have to add at least 2 goals to get the 3 points otherwise they could say goodbye to the EPL title this time. |

the results of yesterday's games were very surprising...
What surprised me the most is seeing Nice being kicked from UEFA Conference League by Basel. The competition between these two teams was intense whether in the first or second leg. Fiorentina lost its match indeed but after all they almost guaranteed the qualification since the first leg with 3 goals difference. Poznan did good to nullify these 3 goals gap but Fiorentina returned to the game and scored 2 goals to guarantee qualifications. Until now, I think the final game will be between West Ham and Fiorentina. |

it was really unexpected, ten hag was not able to give victory to Man Utd, in that match en nesyri became the man of the match because he managed to score 2 goals (in 8 minutes and 81 minutes ') and even though Sevilla did not dominate ball possession, they were successfully led to a 3-0 win
Sevilla's next opponent is Juventus, and I'm sure this match will be tight, Juventus always have a good strategy when facing teams from Spain
I just watched the game until I see de Gea and Maguire trolling with the ball like they were in a training mode and not in professional game then I just stopped watching. I am aware of injuries that ManU have but Maguire is responsible for the bad results in the two legs if not the elimination of the team from the Europa League.. Sevilla won after all and they will face Juve next which will be a very hard moments for both teams. Roma - Leverkusen isn't that easy for any team too.. |

Basically, choosing Lampard after terminating Potter also didn't have any impact I think because indeed they only exacerbated the loss of their finances and indeed it's proven in some of Lampard's appearances now because in the few games he has run, he can't make anything and even Chelsea are still have to lose points again and again.
As I said earlier in Tuchel and Bayern case, do not expect much from a newly appointed coach. He can't and don't have the time to make the team better unless the team itself is very good and stable, in this case why would they change their manager in the first place. Now ten Hag for example started badly the season, then ManU completely transformed and lately things aren't going very well. The only competition remained for them is FA Cup, and a place for UCL next season.. Will he remains in ManU management? Maguire will be kicked from the team any time soon? |

It must be a joke. Again Maguire made a blunder. The injuries experienced by Varane and Martinez will indeed be an opportunity for Maguire to play but again he did something stupid. I don't know why until now Man United still keeps him, even though he has never shown good performance. I don't think he even deserves to be a captain.
Honestly the mistakes done by Maguire should be a whole lesson for defenders in the world about what should a defender never do! In this case the mistake was double, de Gea should shot the ball away and not give it to Maguire who was surrounded by 3 Sevilla players, obviously Maguire shouldn't try to pass the ball to his mate in a situation like that! Just clear the ball. An epic move by the goalkeeper and the best defender in the universe Maguire, made ManU 1 goal behind. |

Well its normal that this will be a rough match,if see any early goal we might see lots of them. But mostly this two teams arent that attacking and four goals in this first match was really a big amount. With Sevilla playing at home i give them 50/50 chance of passing to the next round.
Sevilla are known to be the best team in Europa League but their performance is lower than previous seasons yet they managed to get a draw in an away game and today they are playing home. This is a very close game and telling the winner is hard. Roma and Leverkusen have to win to pass. Juve need a draw at least to qualify in the next round which is possible especially with the good news they had today. |

Breaking News!!!
According to multiple reports, Juventus have had their 15 points reduction overturned.
If this is true, this puts them on 3rd position with 59 points...
It is an official news and Juventus won in the trial and got their 15 points back. As almost all Juve fans and neutral people felt, the 15 points that was deducted were unfair and the players should not lose their hard working and efforts like that. Congratulations to Juve returning to Champions League spots. Third place with 59 points, just 2 points behind Lazio and 3 points above of Roma. For Milan, Inter and Atalanta that was a horrible news |

Did you mean from treblewinner to be trophyless caused by tuchel was always failed to win the impotant match? Man, tuchel has been giving very bad result for bayern. The director of club was expecting something big to come from him but the reality said the opposite thing.
Bayern potentially lose its spot in the semifinal caused by the club was losing against manchester city. It can be considered as bad result after tuchel was taking offer naglesmann's spot.
1. Miss DFB pokal
2. Miss UCL soon as manchester city is more favored in the upcoming match. 3-0 is very big aggregates. It's impossible for bayern to surpass it without a mircle.
3. Bayern may miss bundesliga as well. Dortmund is still following bayern right now. Dortmund can take bayern's position at the end of season.
Tuchel has been done so badly to the bayern. I just say that based on the truth.
As I said in another thread, we cannot judge a coach that just joined the team for the results done just after which are the indirect responsibility of the previous coach. Nagelsmann is a good coach and no one will argue that but his results with Bayern weren't consistent after many months of training and matches. Tuchel didn't get that opportunity to get used with the team so the results could be in either direction and there is nothing that could be done. |

Man City still has a postponed match against Brighton. and that is an advantage for Man City to get a bigger chance to shift Arsenal from the top of the standings.
Arsenal, who initially excelled with quite promising points, were finally almost overtaken by Man City, who did not want to let Arsenal take the title last season. however if Arsenal want to maintain their top position in the standings, they must not waste any more points. Arsenal have enough to lose, and this is the risk.
Arsenal started incredibly well this season and at some point we thought they will get the title for sure before they started failing successively in a short period relatively. Now everything could happen by the end of April. City is a very dangerous team. They missed many points in the beginning but they are back in the game right now. Kicking and humiliating Bayern is not a simple task to do |

The elimination of Bayern in the quarterfinals is certainly very disappointing people in Munich. Since firing Nagelsmann and switched to Tuchel, the team's condition was seen unstable. The high hopes given to Tuchel turned out to be completely failed so that clearly the face of Oliver Kahn and other officials with disappointment and regret. But all decisions have occurred and the next target will be re -charged to Tuchel next season.
No one in Bayern Munich could blame Tuchel for the defeat since he is relatively newly appointed and didn't have the time to get used with the players and them to get used with his tactics. Nevertheless, Kahn and the others expected a different outcome but they got what they were afraid from. While Manchester City became a strong candidate to become the champion this season, Pep Guardiola was truly very serious and had great ambitions to present Liha Champions champions for the first time for Manchester City. This season City is indeed very strong, the tough challenge for British representatives is only Real Madrid. If they are able to qualify for the final, they can be sure they will become champions.
Guardiola, City and the Cheikhs have their best shot to get their first star after the elimination of many hard opponents. Inter and Milan aren't that competitive for them and definitely Real Madrid are the real threat but they are performing less perfectly than the previous season so whether City won UCL this season or forget it for years! |
