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! |

I will say in all the top known clubs in EpL, Chelsea is the most unlucky in this. With a poor result in the last match in EPL, they're still losing woefully in the champion league which seems to be their last hope. Chelsea is now brought low to the stage of not being able to score a single goal against Real Madrid. Chelsea has failed to prove themselves as the defending champions of the title. With what I'm seeing, I'm doubting that they will recover by next season
Chelsea have a big zero this season. They got eliminated from all competitions if I am not mistaken starting with EFL and FA cups to Champions League and EPL titles. Worst part is not playing in any European competitions next season since I doubt they could advance to the appropriate rank to be allowed to play there. How they will attract new players to a team without being involved in an European competition... |

In the Milan-Napoli match, it was Milan who advanced. Honestly, I didn't expect such a result with Napoli dominating the league. I must say they surprised me a lot. Napoli didn't play very well in both games and it was Milan who drew this one and went through. Real Madrid won 2-0 in the first leg. Today, in a game that ended in a draw in the first half, they won with goals in the second half. We can say that it is normal for real madrid to eliminate chelsea. Napoli will focus more on the league after this.
Napoli odds were higher than Milan but they failed in the end, too bad for them. For Chelsea, it was expected to see them being kicked by Real Madrid in today's game. No ambitions no motivation and nothing could be hoped from this team. Real Madrid advanced with nice 4 goals to 0 in aggregate. Inter and Manchester City will follow tomorrow tho. |

The Milan - Napoli successive three games ended today with a chaos to Napoli.
Milan was able to win in the first match in Serie A with 4 goals then won 1-0 in the first leg of Champions League then got a 1 - 1 draw in the second leg played today.
7 points and 6 goals for Milan and 1 point and 1 goal for Napoli which is out of the competition. Luckily Napoli have a good advantage in Serie A otherwise they might dropped in rank if their gap was small.

The Champions League is the only thing Chelsea have left in their hands so they had better prove me wrong about them. I wouldn't say no to watching a competitive game this time. It is up to Lampard's making the right decisions for the game too.
I don't expect Chelsea to make a comeback honestly. The players skills and concentrations are limited from a long time this season and I doubt Lampard's effect could be seen that early. In the other hand, Real Madrid are the king of comebacks at Champions League by far, how could they let Chelsea pass In my opinion Napoli vs Milan will be more interesting to follow since Napoli could win that game and even pass to the next stage before playing penalties tho. |

Fiorentina managed to equalize the score in the 56th minute through penalty yeah that's not worse than having to lose all the points
Fiorentina made a lot of shots and on target unfortunately only one goal was successful even though they should at least be able to score 2-3 goals based on the shots.
It is a positive result for Fiorentina after all to get 1 point from Atalanta. Fiorentina didn't lose any of their 15 games in different competitions while Atalanta could barely win two games before losing again.. Such results made them at risk since Juventus aren't that far from them. |

With the return of the missing players and the fact of playing home in Camp Nou could push Barcelona to perform better and try to get 3 points from Atletico Madrid. ATM are particularly hard opponent for big teams. In the last two face to face, Barcelona were the winner but before that ATM won twice and they have a draw once. So far the result is in favour of Barcelona but we all can imagine how Simeone will play in that game, I mean full defence and counter attack probably. |

Has gone from 2 to 5 goals. Score 1-5 now.
Jota, Gakpo and Salah went crazy for this match. The three of them made The Kop passionate to look at a position a little closer to Europe with optimism.
In my opinion, the team that Liverpool will face in the rest of the season won't be a burden for them if their performance when beating Leeds can continue.
Liverpool players performance are fluctuating so much, from a large victory against Leeds United with 6 goals to 1 in today's game and 7 - 0 against Manchester United in the previous month to a silly defeat vs Bournemouth or silly draws. I will not be even surprised if I see them losing points vs Nottingham next round. The positive point besides having 1 missing game, is they are getting closer to Conference League spot and why not Europa League. |

As long as Bayern Munich can work well as a team, there will be a chance to win against Manchester City. Some of the teams that have beaten Manchester City use good teamwork and always guard their attacking players like Erling Haaland, so it's not easy to get the ball and there's no chance for Manchester City to score.
No one could underestimate the german machines but if Bayern Munich will play the same way they did in the first leg, they might end up with another 3 - 0 result. In the best professional competition in the world, you expect players to play at their best level and to see coach fixing wrong issues whenever it happens. That wasn't the case there and that created some tensions between the fans and Upamecano and between players themselves like Mane and Sane. All these issues interfered in a way or another with their match vs Hoffenheim and we will see if it will persist vs City next Wednesday. |

Juventus lost too, they played with second-line players to save them for the following week where they will find,
2nd leg Europa League, Napoli, and Inter in 7 days.
Sassuolo game was supposed to be the easiest in the second half of April. There was some top players that started the game and others that joined later, yet Juve lost 3 points and will risk playing in European competitions next season. So next game in Europa League against Sporting (2nd leg). Juve have a small advantage + playing away. Next, Serie A match vs Napoli then Coppa Italia vs Inter which will make things even worse for the main squad unless they count to sacrifice Coppa Italia! |

Exactly, this is good achievement for Getafe to make draw result against Barcelona. Although they only get drawn, they have made good defense. I agree with many people who said Getafe performnace during the match was good enough. Barcelona has top quality of squad, Getafe is just a small club but Getafe can steal 1 point from them.
I understand that Barcelona have a good points gap to feel safe enough but letting points disappear like that will put them in a risky situation like Arsenal in EPL. 9 matches left in La Liga and 11 points gap, that means that Barcelona have to win in 5 matches, get a draw in 1 (or 2) and lose in 2-3 matches to be declared winner regardless of Real Madrid results. |

We can say that PSG scored a very important win against Lens yesterday and inflicted a heavy wound on their rival in the championship race.It was very important for them to win in this match and we can say that they have now increased the difference to 9.We can say that the match became difficult for Lens, who was down to 10 men in the early minutes of the first half.We can say that PSG, who defeated Lens with the goals they found in the first half, guaranteed half of the championship.
Lens losses were huge this round. They lost 3 points, they lost a red carded player for the next matches, they lost their 2nd spot and they lost the gap between them and Monaco in the 4th place, which is now only 2 points PSG profited the most, they have 8 points gap between them and Marseille with only 7 games left. For the unexpected result, it was Nice this time, they helped Brest to stay out of the relegation zone for now. |

The role of Toni Kroos with Real Madrid is still very much needed
...
One more thing, Luca Modric is one of the extraordinary players that Real Madrid has. even though he is already 37 years old, he still displays his best game in almost every match. his work ethic really deserves appreciation.
Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are essential players in Real Madrid squad and their absence is palpable in the midfield. Same goes for Benzema in the attack line. It is always good to hear them continuing to play with Los blancos although the condition made by the staff to renew their contract that made other players fly away like Ramos for example. |

Arsenal could still have won the match, even with a 2-2 score. But really great opportunities were not created then. At 0-2 they should have kept things closed I think. But of course it is always easy to draw conclusions afterwards. Manchester City has also been winning a lot lately. It is already great that Arsenal is still in the fight for the championship, no one would have thought that at the start of the season.
The amount of distress in Arsenal is increasing a lot these days. After leading with 2 goals since the first 10 minutes, they finished the game with a draw. The gap is reduced to 4 points between them and Manchester City. The gap might be reduced to only 1 point once City win in their lacking 1 game. Additionally, they will face each other in 10 days. Apparently we might have an idea about the winner of EPL by the end of April |

Getafe host barcelona at home.It's an important game for them as they are in the relegation zone and their opponent is not an easy opponent.Barcelona is now 10 points ahead of real madrid and in a comfortable position.Getafe is not in a comfortable position and the points are close to each other.I think they will try to get at least a draw.
Real Madrid made everyone stressed for +70 minutes until they scored two goals. The scenario of missing another match was present in many of their fans imagination. Since there is 10 points difference, Barcelona will continue playing without stress, so I don't expect them to lose in their game. |
