With high consideration of the point interval already given, I don't think any of the teams positions will change because, from the point and the game left, you will know that all the teams will try their possible best to maintain their position in the league, most especially for Real Madrid and Barcelona. They will not like to step down again for Girona to move any further, but they can still maintain their position at the third position in the league and that of Atlético Madrid. I don't still have high hopes for them because Bilbao will also like to be in the Champions League next season, and seeing that there are just four points between them will make Bilbao have hope for them, and in seven more games anything can happen, so to me, the only team that is at risk now is Atlético Madrid, which if they don't perform well, they will see the result.
The competition for fourth place in the La Liga standings between ATM and Bilbao will be completed in week 33, where the two teams will face each other to secure full points. On paper, I think ATM has a much higher chance of finishing in the Champions League zone, however, the Simeone fleet should remain alert to the opponents they will face in the future. On the other hand, it looks like Madrid will win the competition for the La Liga trophy this season, although Barcelona still has a chance to get back into the race if they win the EL Clasico. However, realistically I think the points difference that has been established is enough to give Los Blancos a sense of security, and they have not shown any signs of performance decline. Between the two competitions mentioned above, there is Girona in the middle of the competition, where Michel fleet has the opportunity to finish in runnerup position, and they could also be overtaken by ATM again. However, what is clear is that their opportunity to play in the Champions League next season is very big, Girona must work hard to create consistency in the remaining matches in the future. |

There’s still AFC Champions League and winning all of these trophies means they’ll be having a quadruple season already for the club and that’s one worthy of all applauds. In most matches they’re seen as the major favorites and that shows how good and top their performance is and keeping up like this, they’ll sure win the treble or even the quadruple.
You are right that Al-Hilal not only has the opportunity to win three titles but four because there is still the Asian Champions League, especially now that Al-Hilal is still competing in the semifinals and they are favored over their opponents Al-Ain, and the first leg match will be held tomorrow with Al-Ain is the home team but that doesn't make the bookies favor Al-Ain because Al-Hilal is the one who gets the odds as the team that will win this first match. If Al-Hilal can win with a good goal margin then it can be said that they will go to the final to meet between Yokohama or Ulsan HD, and Ulsan HD is the favorite to go to the final. Whoever Al-Hilal will face in the final, if they manage to overcome Al-Ain, Al-Hilal will still be the favorite to become champions and that will be the team's best record if they can become champions in four different competitions in one season, and maintain it next season of course it will be more difficult. By looking at the unbeaten record they have created at the moment, it feels like Al Hilal will win 4 trophies at once in one season. For domestic competitions, I personally think Al Hilal will win it, the challenge is a bit tough in the Asian Champions League. Al Hilal are very favorites there, but we'll see how they finish the match against Al Ain tomorrow. Even though Al Hilal acts as the visiting team, I think they will be able to win. Looking at the history of meetings between Al Hilal and Al Ain in their last five matches, Al Hilal recorded 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. It is clear that with Al Hilal current performance, their chances of increasing their number of wins are quite high. If Al Hilal wins four trophies in one season, it is very appropriate for them to receive recognition and appreciation as the greatest team in Asia. Of course, defending the trophy is more difficult than winning it, because all the teams next season will build a much better squad. Al Hilal itself will certainly add more squad depth to be able to continue to maintain its dominance. |

To me this premier league title race is over, because if you look at the historical performance of Manchester city over the years during the closing stage of the season, you will know that the biggest mistake made by both arsenal and Liverpool is allowing Manchester city to lead the chart at this particular stage of the season, because they actually have the ability to secure 18 points from a possible 18 in the last 6 matches of the season.
Just take a look at their own remaining fixture and the fixtures of both arsenal and Liverpool, you will know that it's even more likely for arsenal and Liverpool to drop more points than this Manchester city side, unless their is a sudden collapse or something really bad happens to their form, if not, Manchester city will definitely be crown champions, between now and the end of the season.
All possibilities can still happen, but we are free to assume about each team chances of winning the trophy this season. City, who currently lead the Premier League standings, were very lucky due to Arsenal and Liverpool dropping points, and they have a good tradition of creating consistency towards the end of the season. Meanwhile, in the remaining matches ahead, of course City is the favorite to sweep all matches and secure full points, so that Pep Guardiola fleet can win the trophy again. Arsenal and Liverpool certainly hope that City opponents in the future can thwart De Bruyne and his colleagues steps, so that they have the opportunity to return to the top of the standings. But all the scenarios that we predict could be wrong, it could be that next week the change in position at the top of the standings will happen again. There are no definite guarantees in football, what is clear is that Arsenal and Liverpool will continue to pressure City until the end of the season. City are a little lucky because the opponents they face in the remaining matches are relatively easy, but Pep will certainly not underestimate them. |

I don't think if Barcelona or Real Madrid played with full power in these games we saw from them recently. Otherwise, we could see more goals from Barcelona instead of just Felix scoring one goal in this match and there is the same story for Real Madrid. However, I think they wanted to save some potential for the harder games they are going to have, we are going to see the El Clasico match soon. Regardless of the El Clasico match, Barcelona should play against PSG and Real Madrid is going to play against Manchester City while we know both games are hard for them and that's why they prefer to keep the players in good form for these two important games they are going to have. Ancelotti and Xavi saved their players energy for more important matches, the Champions League quarter-final match and the El Clasico match. Apart from that, the two coaches definitely don't want undesirable things to happen, such as player injuries, that could ruin their plans for these two important matches. For the Champions League quarter-final match, I think Barcelona was a little luckier than Madrid, where Xavi fleet managed to win in the first leg. Meanwhile, Los Blancos were held to a draw in the first leg by City. Barcelona's journey to qualify for the semi finals looks easier, but it does not rule out the possibility that PSG can turn things around. Madrid recent victory over Mallorca can increase players confidence, as can Barcelona victory over Cadiz. Los Blancos, who currently lead the La Liga standings by 8 points, can shift their focus completely to the Champions League, before having to face another tough match called El Clasico. |

Milan wanted to consolidate the second place by winning three points against Sassuolo today, but when the match started, things were in Sassuolo's favor, everything was good. They had already scored two goals in the first 10 minutes for Sassuolo. Then in Milan, Leao came on the stage at minute 20 and scored.
Although there is still a chance that Sassuolo will be relegated, it would have been great for them if they had won this match today, but it did not happen. We are approaching the Milan-Inter derby. If Inter wins this match, they will officially become champions early.
I knew before the match started that the match was not going to be that easy for AC Milan because Sassuolo is looking forward that they will not to be relegated season, and the points between Sassuolo and those ahead of them that are not in the relegation zone are not much, so I was expecting Sassuolo to appear so strong today, especially in their home game, and actually that is what really happened; they really played well. In normal ground, if we check both teams performance statistics, Milan was the favourite team to win the game, but they were not lucky, and the lucky tried to work around Sassuolo, but they were still not fully lucky. The way they draw the match, I think it favours both teams. Milan position will remain safe to finish in second place in the Serie A standings, where Juventus is currently having difficulty creating consistency, Milan draw against Sassuolo did not have a big impact on Pioli fleet. However, Milan must remain alert to their decline in performance, where they also experienced disappointing results in the Europa League. A team like Sassuolo, which is currently in the degradation zone, is fighting hard to get an additional 3 points. They have the ambition to get out of the red zone, so they succeeded in forcing Milan to share the points. Sassuolo still has a chance to get out of the degradation zone, because the point difference is not too wide, and in the remaining matches ahead they have to make the best use of it. Meanwhile, Milan can shift their focus completely to the Europa League, where their position in Serie A is considered safe from being chased by Juventus. Pioli must be able to turn things around in the second leg, even though we know that it is very difficult to do. In the next few matches, Inter will confirm themselves as Scudetto winners, Martinez will be the top scorer this season, replacing Osimhen. |

That's an achievement, an impressive 43 consecutive matches without defeat, shows good consistency, Xabi Alons built his strength this season with a handful of people who are honestly not as popular as other teams, but Xabi proved his dedication as a manager who has great potential and has the sharpness to build a force in the Bundesliga with Leverkusen this season.
It should not be necessary to see players from their popularity, and it is better to choose players who have potential and can be trained by Xabi, because it will also be useless if they have players who have potential but they do not enter the training direction that we make, it will waste energy and resources alone.
Yes, it's only natural that the atmosphere of victory is celebrated very long, we have long been waiting for a new winner for the Bundes league, which was previously too boring to be dominated by just one.
That's right, with the depth of their squad, Leverkusen managed to win the Bundesliga trophy this season, now there is no longer the word "Neverkusen" for them, and they have wipe that word perfectly because they are unbeaten so far. Xabi has now succeeded in showing his managerial qualities, where the Bundesliga trophy is clear proof of his expertise in coaching a club. Xabi will definitely have the ambition to maintain this unbeaten record until the season ends, but there are two tough matches awaiting them in the remaining matches ahead. Dortmund and Stuttgart will be the final test of Leverkusen consistency this season, while the other 3 matches look easier to get through. Bayern dominance has now ended, the Bundesliga has become more competitive and it is likely that the competition for trophies next season will be even fiercer. It would be a shame if Dortmund failed to finish in the Champions League zone this season, Leipzig looks like they will be lucky and end the season in the top four of the standings. If Dortmund misses out on appearing in the Champions League, it will be another surprise in the Bundesliga this season. |

Today is just a day of miracles...  First, Liverpool lost to an underdog... Then Arsenal also lost at home to Villa... By the way, in all three matches the guests won... Of course it's all a strange coincidence and now Man City are top of the standings... I think they will be there until the end of the season... City got lucky because Liverpool and Arsenal suffered defeats, very embarrassing defeats because they happened at home. How tight the competition is towards the end of the season, all teams have the ambition to secure full points so they can finish in a more worthy place. It is clear that City progress will be very difficult to stop in the remaining matches ahead, so Liverpool and Arsenal will find it difficult to climb to the top of the standings. Previously Liverpool suffered a surprising defeat to Atalanta in the Europa League, and most recently they suffered another humiliating defeat to Crystal Palace, where Klopp will be increasingly worried about the performance of his fleet. Arsenal, who are in their best form slumped again, they will experience bad luck like last season. Meanwhile, City is actually not in a safe position, because their points difference is very narrow, and just one defeat could make Arsenal or Liverpool overtake them again. Talking about other competitions, Aston Villa was surprisingly able to break Arsenal positive trend, and Emery fleet has a big chance of finishing in the Champions League zone this season. |

PSG wouldn't feel a big pressure in the league indeed. There is no reason for that while they are in a really comfortable condition. Even if the point gap gets lower still PSG wouldn't lose the title to anyone. They are just too powerful for the remaining teams. It is very rare that we see a team beating PSG for the title in a season. This is why the Ligue 1 is very boring as well.  There is literally no competition for the league title most of the time. It is all because of one team being bought by rich people and the others' looking at them from a far point. I'm not even sure about whether this would change in this league in the future either. Many would agree regarding the competition in Ligue 1, where PSG is too dominant for other contestants, and so far Enrique fleet has only lost once. It makes sense why many people feel bored watching Ligue 1, this gap is created because PSG has abundant financial strength to build a star studded squad. The current difference in points shows how easy it is for PSG to win the Ligue 1 trophy every season, there are still 6 matches left and it is very likely that PSG will lock up the trophy sooner. Apart from that, the opportunity for PSG to wipe out all the remaining matches is quite open, even though recently Enrique fleet has often played draws. On the other hand, one instant way to make Ligue 1 more competitive is the entry of rich investors such as PIF. Previously there were rumors that they planned to acquire a majority stake in Marseille. However, until now there is no certainty about this news, if it is realized then PSG will have a balanced competitor at the domestic level. |

When Barcelona are able to win at Parc De Princes, is there a chance of PSG winning at Camp Nou? I think the chance is small. I feel confident Barcelona can win better. Although I know in the first game PSG made a lot of mistakes through Donnarumma. PSG's hopes of qualifying are very small, Barcelona have gone one foot further. Simple logic, when at home you lose, it seems that the match in leg 2 is very difficult.
For the current condition, Barcelona probably could defend their leading in the next Leg at Camp Nou. Moreover, Barcelona already won 3 goals at PSG home, they are leading the aggregate with 1 goal now. PSG is no longer in their best shape, so it will be difficult to expect they can win at Barcelona home. I personally never think that PSG will give us a surprise at Barcelona home in Leg 2. Xavi must ensure that his fleet cannot be careless in the second leg, where the difference of one goal is very easy to catch. In terms of squad depth, PSG is indeed better than Barcelona, but that cannot make them appear more dominant in the Champions League. The experience and mentality of the players are very influential here, Enrique will have to work harder in the second leg if he has the ambition to advance to the semifinals. If you assess the opportunities, it is clear that Barcelona are more favorites in the second leg, where Xavi team is in their best form, and they will also act as hosts. It looks like PSG progress will stop in the quarter finals, but I'm sure they won't fire Enrique next season, even if PSG fails to reach the final. On the other hand, even if Barcelona can advance to the final, or let's say have the luck to win the Champions League trophy this season, I think Xavi will still choose to resign. whereas Enrique seems to need to reshuffle his main squad again next season, especially if Mbappe leaves for another club. |

As for me, I know Girona was not in that great form currently, so I know that Girona's probability of winning Atletico Madrid was very low with Atletico Madrid's current form. So I was not surprised that Girona did not gain any points from the match against Atletico Madrid. In fact, Atletico was the team that hosted the game, so I really expected a lot from them.
For Barcelona against Cadiz, it was not an easy match due to the defensive pattern of Cadiz. Barcelona really really touches them, but Cadiz did not give Barcelona chances to enter their box 18 anyhow, so Barcelona was not able score more goals. As Barcelona even won with one goal, I was just happy because 3 points is what really matter a lot, and they really go away with the 3 points.
ATM ambition to confirm its position in the Champions League zone this week has been achieved, where Simeone fleet managed to beat Girona while reducing the distance between the two. Towards the end of the season the competition becomes tighter, if Girona is not consistent in winning, it is not surprising Girona will drop in ranking again. But I see that Girona will be able to recover in the remaining matches ahead, even though it will not be easy, that is the only way to finish in the top four of the standings and secure a ticket to appear in the Champions League. The defeat to ATM was indeed disappointing, it was Girona 6th defeat this season. However, it is possible that the standings will change again, but personally I think Girona will succeed in finishing in the top four. Regarding Barcelona success in getting full points against Cadiz, this will not put pressure on Madrid, because the two teams are still 8 points apart. Xavi and his fleet have the opportunity to reduce the points gap with Madrid next week in the El Clasico match, but I think that will be quite difficult to do because the match will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu. |

I'm sure Klopp still has the main target and good focus also to get a trophy also in the Europa League so, don't just because Liverpool lost 3-0 in the first leg then you thinkLiverpool don't have a focus on the Europa League. Because anyway, basically Liverpool is a team that has better quality than all theteams in the Europa League at this moment and therefore, Liverpool has a good chance also in the Europa League. But unfortunately, failure can happen at any time and yes, in the first leg Liverpool clearlyexperienced a very embarrassing failure because Liverpool lost at home too. But even so, that does not mean Liverpool lost the chance to make a comeback, because ofcourse Liverpool will still have a chance to be able to turn things around in the second leg later eventhough indeed,failure has overshadowed Liverpool at this moment. There is nothing that Liverpool have to okay in Italy, that will give them any chance of qualifying to the semifinals. I agree with you that Liverpool is among the strongest in Europa but we underestimated other clubs, just simply because Liverpool is a big name. Atalanta messed Liverpool up in Anfield on clean sheet and you are expecting a miracle to happen for Liverpool in Italy, that is not possible. Atalanta knows how to play Liverpool, and that was why they locked their defense and made Liverpool unable to find the back of the net. The only time that the ball entered the net, it was an offside. This is because Atalanta defenders are always putting Liverpool attackers on offside, so that they will not have easy access to score without going offside. The highest that Liverpool will play is to win them with one goal but not up to three. That will kick Liverpool out of the league. Catching up from 3 goals behind will be very difficult for Liverpool, even though they have a capable attack line. Atalanta managed to win in a simple way, defending and relying on counter attacks. Liverpool is favorite but Atalanta wins big, that's football we can never guarantee. Klopp will certainly try to turn things around even though it looks a little impossible, who knows, they will succeed in doing it, and luck will be on their side in the future. There are definitely many bettors who experienced losses in the first leg, and if you want to bet on the second leg, you need a lot of consideration. The European League always presents unexpected surprises, such as Milan's defeat to Roma. But on the other hand, if Liverpool fails to advance to the semifinals, Leverkusen will be the other favorite team to have the chance to win the trophy this season. But it is possible that they will experience their first defeat in the Europa League. With the 3-0 defeat to Atalanta at Anfield, many people again doubted the strength of Klopp fleet. |

In the last five matches, United was only able to achieve one win, most recently Ten Hag fleet was again held to a draw by Bournemouth with a score of 2-2. Automatically, the Red Devils position dropped to 7th in the standings due to the goal difference with Newcastle, where both have collected 50 points. The pressure is increasing day by day on Ten Hag, in fact he deserves to be kicked out of Old Trafford.
United are now 10 points adrift of Aston Villa who are in fourth place in the standings, there is no longer any hope for them to finish in the Champions League zone. The only remaining hope is the FA Cup, but there Ten Hag's fleet is also not the favorite because there are still City and Chelsea. It seems that the Red Devils need to completely overhaul their squad next season, so they can compete again as a team challenging for the title.

I also previously had thoughts about Arsenal, that Arsenal really had a good chance this season to get the Premier League trophy. That assumption happened a few days ago and before the Champions League and Europa League matches were played yesterday andyes, the results were at least a little close to my shadow. Although indeed, I alsorealize that Arsenal are still very likely to be overtaken by Liverpool and Manchester City but still, I still really appreciate the results Arsenal have this season in the Premier League. Because after all, the fact is that this season Arsenal managed not to lose to Liverpool and Manchester City in the Premier League match and with results likethat, then I assume Arsenal have a good chance of getting the Premier League trophy this season. If you look at the rapid development currently being shown by Arsenal, I also think that Arteta fleet has a big chance of winning the Premier League title this season. When the competition was so tight, the Gunners were able to be consistent and managed to lead the standings, something we rarely see from them. However, Arsenal should be alert and need to learn from last season experience, where they lost consistency towards the end of the season. Liverpool and City will continue to press and overshadow Arsenal until the end of the season, Arsenal struggle will feel tougher than their two competitors in the remaining matches ahead, because Arteta fleet has several tough matches. Arsenal consistency will be tested in the next 7 matches, four of which will be very difficult. Aston Villa, Chelsea, Tottenham and United are four opponents who have the potential to stop Arsenal, where Arteta and his fleet must really have the mentality and strategy to be able to secure full points. If Arsenal can withstand this pressure, then they will succeed in winning the trophy this season. |

The tonight's Liverpool home defeat by Atlanta has left Liverpool with a gigantic task in their next week's second leg game.
This I think is Liverpool's first home defeat since February 2023 if I'm not wrong, and obviously, it was such a humiliating home defeat to the extent that they couldn't even get a single goal at Anfield Station. The lost was as a result of the coach underating the capability of their visitors Atlanta in this game, and Liverpool got a shocken defeat .
I really didn't expect Atalanta to succeed in tarnishing Liverpool record at Anfield, besides that we have to correct previous words, where we pretty much said that the Reds were the favorite team to win. Atalanta really surprised me, the 3-0 score was really extraordinary. This is the European League, a place where absurd surprises occur. I'm sure many bettors experienced defeat in that match, because before the match started everyone believed Liverpool could win the match easily. On the other hand, it could be that Klopp is prioritizing the Premier League to win, but there is still one more leg in the future to create a surprise. Atalanta managed to play effectively, even though the Serie A representatives did not dominate possession of the ball, they managed to carry out a typical Italian strategy of dominantly defending and relying on counter attacks. Liverpool have experienced the biggest disaster this season, it was quite difficult to turn things around in the second leg because they were 3 goals behind. |

I am not underestimating Arsenal and their chances of qualifying for the semi-finals this season, even if Arsenal are unseeded when they travel to Germany in the second leg. Bayern Munich is very likely to lose even though they are playing at home, but of course Arsenal must be very careful when starting the match and must be able to avoid mistakes.
There is certainly big pressure for Arsenal when Bayern Munich are favorites at home, but if Arteta and his squad have learned from experience, then Arsenal's mentality should not be disturbed. There is plenty of time for both teams to prepare their squads and best strategies, but both teams seem to have one domestic match before the second leg starts.
Arsenal need great luck to beat Bayern at the Allianz Arena, I certainly don't mean to underestimate Arteta fleet which is on fire, but that's the fact. Bayern experience in the Champions League is not in doubt, even though they are currently unstable in the Bundesliga, Tuchel fleet has managed to show a different performance. However, if Arteta is able to find a more effective strategy, of course victory will be on their side, and I think it is possible that the winner will be determined by going to the penalty shootout round. In simple terms, with unstable performance alone, Bayern was able to hold Arsenal to a draw, who were in their best performance. It is clear that in the second leg Arsenal should be more careful, Bayern will look dominant when playing in front of their own supporters. However, if Tuchel is careless in determining his starting XI, then Arsenal will have a good chance of winning the match. That's right, both teams have one domestic match that must be completed first, before the second leg returns. |

Each will hope for his own advantage instead of the other team, which is obviously very natural. But I believe Atletico Madrid will likely win this match according to their plan. Today Atletico Madrid managed to win the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Dortmund, so the players' morale and motivation will be very good before facing Girona at home.
Maybe there will be a risk in choosing one of them as the winner, because of the poor way they ended their last few matches. Girona and Atletico Madrid have not been very consistent so far, but because Atletico Madrid is playing at home I think they will have the home advantage to play better. A draw is certainly more favorable for Girona, Barcelona and Bilbao, but Atletico Madrid looks good enough to hope to win.
It is clear, ATM and Girona will not want to share points in this match, considering that both really need an additional 3 points to strengthen their respective positions in the standings. ATM latest victory in the Champions League will certainly increase the players confidence, but the challenge faced by Simeone fleet is fatigue. ATM certainly wants revenge for their previous defeat, their opportunity is quite big because Girona is currently in an unstable period. Apart from that, ATM will be at an advantage because they will be playing at home, the additional 3 points are a priority to keep their position safe from being chased by Bilbao. But this season, all teams cannot take Girona for granted, their luck may continue again. Barcelona hopes Girona will drop points, as do Bilbao who hope ATM can stumble. But despite it all, I am sure that ATM and Girona will be able to finish in the top four of the standings, even though there are several other tough matches waiting for them ahead. This time it looks like victory will be on ATM side, Simeone fleet seems to be back on a positive track. |

They will most likely finish the season without winning a trophy. The only possibility is to win the Champions League trophy, and that is very difficult. They did not play badly in the first match and returned from England with a draw and gained the advantage for the home match, but I doubt whether they will play well enough to win the cup in the sequel. Even if they eliminate Arsenal, a strong team will be waiting for them.
The Allianz Arena will remain haunted for visiting teams, Bayern is quite tough when playing at home, Arsenal needs to work even harder if they have the ambition to advance to the semifinals. Bayern managed to get through a tough challenge at the Emirates unbeaten, where before the match Tuchel and his fleet were not favorites, and many predicted Arsenal would win the match. Experience plays an important role, Bayern managed to show a different performance when playing in the Champions League, where previously they lost surprisingly to Heidenheim in the Bundesliga and was able to play well against Arsenal. Now the pressure will be on the shoulders of Arteta and his fleet, it feels like Arsenal needs great luck to be able to win at the Allianz Arena. Bayern ambition to win the Champions League trophy this season sounds realistic, inded to achieve this they must be able to beat other strong teams, especially Arsenal in the second leg. Tuchel will not be too concerned about the remaining matches in the Bundesliga in the future, this could give them the freedom to focus fully on the Champions League, who knows, they will be lucky in the future. |

If Girona can win in the next three matches, Girona still has a chance to regain second place from Barcelona because Barcelona will face tough opponents in the next three matches. This means that Barcelona also has to win in the next three matches to be able to maintain its position in second place because one of the tough matches for Barcelona will be against Real Madrid. Meanwhile, for Girona, their tough opponent will be against Atletico Madrid in the near future, so that is the match that Girona must win before their next two matches. Basically, of course Girona will still make their best efforts to maintain theirposition in the top four but I guess, sometimes even though the team has made good efforts too but bad results can still occur any time. Therefore, although greatefforts have been made but if at the same time they are in badluck, then ofcourse defeat is also difficult to avoid. But anyway, about Girona next match against Atletico and although Girona lost but still, the fact is that Girona still has a better point advantage compared to Atletico. So yes, even though if Girona lost by Atletico, but of course Girona will still remain in third place and I think Girona is still fairly safe to still finish in the top four. The situation faced by Girona is slightly in their favor, especially as they will be safe in the Champions League zone thanks to their consistency at the start of the season. Losing against ATM will not threaten their position, the Mihcel fleet will still have a difference of 4 points later. However, ATM may not necessarily be able to beat Girona, even though they are favorites because they act as hosts. In fact, in the remaining matches ahead, Girona also has another tough opponent, namely Barcelona, Michel must try to at least achieve a draw in this important match. In the first half of the season, Girona was able to beat ATM and Barcelona, which broke all predictions that thought they would lose points when facing big clubs. On the other hand, Girona presence this season has made La Liga more interesting. When Barcelona and ATM experienced an unstable season, Girona appeared entertaining by trying to put pressure on Madrid. So I think they deserve appreciation, their hard work has paid off, the result is a ticket to the Champions League. |

Looking on matches left, Arsenal has some difficult matches against Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United with most of left team opponent want to defend their position at Champion League spot place for Spurs and Manchester United want to reach UEFA Europe League ticket next season by finish on 5th or 6th standings position.
Let's not forget Aston Villa, who are currently placed 5th in the table with the same points as the Tottenham. Although experts don't give Villa much chances of winning (only 9%) it's still potentially a tough game for Arsenal. I think Arsenal is almost guaranteed to lose some points in one of those 4 matches mentioned. If I had to bet, I'd put my money on My City to win the ECL, as they have the easiest games left compared to Liverpool and Arsenal. A careful look at the remaining fixtures of the top three teams in the English Premier League table will reveal that Mikel Arteta's Arsenal will face stronger opponents than Liverpool and Manchester City will do but that I don't think should make us to write Arsenal off. Arsenal have shown that they're more determined to win the English Premier League title this season than they've ever been since 2004 that they last won the title after going the whole season without conceding a defeat. Arsenal will play Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and even Aston Villa that are currently occupying the fourth position of the league table and those games will pose great threat to their title ambition but I still expect Arsenal to get results that'll still keep them in good position to win the English Premier League title after those fixtures are played. The title race this season is very tight and that I think is just the beauty of the English Premier League Arsenal journey looks more steep to win the trophy, where Arteta fleet has to work harder to maintain its position at the top of the standings. Arsenal opponents in the remaining matches ahead are quite tough, but that is still fortunate because they no longer face Liverpool or Man City, where these two teams are the toughest opponents at the moment. Aston Villa, Chelsea, Tottenham and Man United are tough teams too, but not as tough as Liverpool and Man City, so I think Arsenal will be able to get through this match undefeated. It could be that this season Arsenal will be lucky and be able to win a trophy, they look very ready for any pressure. Liverpool and Man City are actually still in the same situation, where their opportunities are actually the same as Arsenal, but the challenges they face are a little easier. However, one thing is certain, competition will continue to increase towards the end of the season, mediocre clubs could become a stumbling block for teams challenging for the title. A small mistake could change their position in the standings, how tight the trophy hunt is this season. |

Kylian Mbappe is not one of those players that should be criticized for being rude because over the years, he's never had any kind of altercation with managers that he's played under. The reason why he's been furious in recent games is because of the recent treatments he's getting from the manager of Paris Saint Germaine Luis Enrique. The Spanish manager have recently grown the habit of either not starting matches with Kylian Mbappe or subbing him off in the early stages of the second half on games he was included in the starting line up. For a player of Kylian Mbappe's status, you don't expect him to be happy with such kind of treatment from the manager and that's why he's not been cool with his recent attitudes with the club manager. I don't want anyone to term it as being rude in my own opinion Enrique certainly has a better understanding when deciding whether or not to include Mbappe in his starting Xi, or even when he reserves him first. What we can conclude is that Mbappe relationship with the club is not harmonious, because he decided to refuse a contract extension and potentially harm PSG because of the free transfer. Mbappe reaction is acceptable, it is very natural for a player, he feels he does not deserve to be withdrawn. But Enrique is also looking further into the future, it could be that Enrique wants to save Mabppe for the Champions League, and doesn't want the player to suffer an unwanted injury. Mbappe influence is quite large, and Enrique does not want to lose this player in more important matches. We will never know for sure what Mbappe relationship with the club is at the moment, what is clear is that he is still a PSG player at this time, and he must respect every decision made by the coach. |
