Arsenal are no longer in the shape they were before the winter break. It is still great that they are still at the top, but of course everyone feels that it is only a matter of time before Manchester City overtakes Arsenal in the rankings. But even if Arsenal finish 2nd, they've still had a great season. And let's be honest. City is also the best team in the world, so the fact that you can fight for the title with this team for so long is quite an achievement in itself. But I think they have thrown away the championship in the last games. Today they showed resilience after that 1-3 deficit, so they really do have quality. City only wins the games a little easier.

People in Italy naturally love that AC Milan and Inter Milan play against each other, but the neutral football fan does not. It does have something that 2 teams from Italy and from the same city will play against each other in the semi-finals. Then someone will always be in the final. Inter was the last Italian winner in 2011?! quite strange for such a large football country that we have not had an Italian CL champion after that. I think it's a game where we don't see a favourite. I also watch the meeting between Real Madrid and Manchester City. The latter will also want a lot of revenge on Madrid because they were impossible to eliminate last year.

Beşiktaş got an easy away win against Ümraniyespor. Honestly, I don't know if this game can be called an away game. The distance between Beşiktaş's facilities and Ümraniyespor's stadium is less than 10 kilometers.  I think the man of the match was Redmond. He has been gaining points for Beşiktaş in recent weeks with his good performance. Karagumruk isn't a tough target for Galatasaray truthfully. They made things really difficult for Fenerbahce recently though but I don't think they can play in the same way against Galatasaray. Because there is a big difference in terms of playing style. There is a serious level of player difference between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce in the league as well. Galatasaray have many more game changers as you know. They might not even be in need of changing anything. They can just have the control of the match and finish off their opponent.
Galatasaray already defeated Karagumruk away and this time their victory can be even by a bigger goal gap. It wouldn't make me surprised after demolishing Alanyaspor and Kayserispor with solid scores.
Galatasaray have been playing great in the last few weeks, winning all their matches by playing very comfortably. However, the important thing in the league race is to win 3 points. If we play underestimating the opponent in the Karagümrükspor match, we may lose points. I hope Galatasaray players do not underestimate their opponent. Galatasaray has also had to sacrifice a lot in terms of level in recent years. They have been the undisputed number 1 in Turkey for a while, with a nice confrontation with Besiktas here and there. But in the last 10 years, other teams have also emerged and another team has also become champions besides the traditional top 3. I also do not know in what perspective we should place the level of the Turkish top teams in relation to the other clubs in Europe. In Europe it is often not very much. Strange, because in Turlije there is quite a bit of money from the club owners. |

UCL match Real Madrid vs Manchester City first leg, this will be a very amazing match when two strong teams face each other to fight for the title. but actually Man City doesn't deserve to be the UCL champion even though Madrid is the defending champion but Madrid also wants this title because in La Liga Real Madrid is not too concerned with the title but is more focused on this UCL. I can't find a coherent reason why you say Manchester City don't deserve to win the Champions League title they have wanted for so long? If you're just saying Real Madrid deserved it because they missed a title chance in La Liga, then that's nonsense that doesn't matter much to say. Look how favorite Napoli are to reach the final this season after they almost certainly secured the Serie A title, but Napoli had to accept their failure. I just can't understand why someone could say something so easily without putting in some effort to come up with a good reason. It's always good to come up with plausible reasons when you want one to be appropriate and one not. I also think that Manchester City has a lot of right to the title. They have been playing eye-catching football for years and always enjoy playing on the field. Every football fan loves to watch City, and they also have just nice players who aren't arrogant or annoying. It has been a few times against, but I have the feeling that with Haaland they have some extra fuel in the engine. He scores goals from all angles and positions. But no team has won the Champions League as many times in recent years as Real Madrid. Based on those statistics, Real Madrid is the favourite, but even at home, Real Madrid may simply be less good than City. |

It's almost over for tonight's games. Chelsea pretty hopeless mission afterwards to continue. I should have given them a little more chance. Napoli seems to be in a form crisis at this stage and that comes to a very bad result now. In the league they had already lost 0-4 to Milan, and now they have also lost in the CL. They had another chance to get back into the game, but they failed to do so by missing a penalty. Then it would have been 1-1 and you would have had more than 10 minutes to equalize and then be able to force an extension, but that is no longer happening now. We are very likely to get a semi-final AC Milan - Inter Milan.

Apparently easy how Feyenoord won the away match against Cambuur today. This is also the big difference between Feyenoord and the other top teams. Other teams have the greatest difficulty in winning against such opponents, while Feyenoord has convincing victories every week. And that will not change in the next game. It has become an individual between Ajax and PSV, and it can go either way. I think it is impossible for PSV to keep Xavi Simons at the club. If PSV make it to the CL, Simons may have a little more motivation to join the club.

Barcelona gives little priority to the competition. The season is actually already over for these players. Trying to keep players fit and hoping that no nasty injuries come along. That's the only thing to hope for in Barcelona. Normally they would still participate in a European tournament, but there too they are all eliminated this year. real Madrid still have a few games to play to keep rhythm for the CL, in which they are also not sure of progressing to the next round.

Big congratulations to Rublev!
He finally has his Masters 1000 title. He said after the match that his mental attitude
was different now than it was in previous 1000's tournaments, it really comes
down to belief and to never give up until the last point is scored, for or against.
It shows because he came back in that last set from 4-1 down to win 5-7!
Thats the belief and never give up attitude, delighted for him and his new team.
Rublev is a good player, but he has the misfortune of having to play tennis in a world with Djokovic who normally shows him every corner of the court. And then there is no start for anyone. I think Rublev falls just short of being the best in the world. He will probably also have a hard time on Gravel. Nadal Rublev would normally be an ear wash, but Alcaraz is also very good on gravel. And we are all looking forward to the Paris open. Everything is now in preparation for this tournament, in which we will see the entire world top tennis and Djokovic still hungry for records. |

As usual, few goals today in the Italian league. This reminds me a bit of the games of the 90s in which results like 0-0 and 1-1 were the rule rather than the exception. But it's definitely not as boring as it used to be. The best football in recent years has come from Atalanta Bergamo, which has actually managed to find a connection with the Italian top out of nowhere. This season it is a little less, but all teams that are above Atalanta are basically just better, of course.
The Italian football league of the 1990s cannot possibly be compared to today. By the way, in the 80s and 90s the Italian league was definitely the strongest league in the world. Now they are just below that and England has taken over. But Italy does have a very broad top, that's for sure. And 0-0 and 1-1 can always occur, also in other countries. We may have to temper expectations from Atalanta, as it is a limited team with individually mediocre players. That they have been in the top for so long is a miracle in itself. |

Gambling has many different types and tactics. The bottom line is that you actually only win your betting cap if your chosen team has also won. In other results you lose. But if you are a novice gambler, there are a lot of online books that you can read and there are also a lot of websites where you can consult information to see how you want to gamble. I think my advice is to take it easy in the beginning and certainly not to play with large limits. And also consider whether you want to gamble in a casino or bet on sports competitions.

Arsena was so dominant in the early stage that was almost to easy for them a gaol from Jesus and Martin turned the whole atmosphere amongst the home support was almost like a funeral imagine west ham fans working out but football is an emotional game and as such anything can still happen frankly arsenal were two goal up and it felt like the game was already won. It may not be over yet for arsenal title chase but it was a bad day simply because was a team waiting to be beating and should have been beaten by arsenal
After Arsenal scoring second goal, I was thinking west ham those not have anything left, even after west ham scored their first goal which was a penalty, I was still having confidence because I was thinking Arsenal will still score more goal, but unfortunately they couldn't score any goal again, saka even missed penalty, West Ham defense was very strong today, they made it very difficult for Arsenal to break, west ham perform was really nice today. I don't really know what's wrong with Arsenal, they are wasting points already, I don't know why they will allow West Ham equalize, Arsenal is really in a dangerous zone already, they have been performing very well since the beginning of the season, now the season is about to end and they are misbehaving. 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. |

Chelsea - Real Madrid is also a match in which Chelsea can still qualify. The boomakers agree that Real madrid is the favorite to continue here, but they think Chelsea are the favorite to win the game in the head-to-head match in London. Last meeting last season was a true spectacle. Real Madrid seemed to have already decided in the first game in London with a 1-3 win, but in Madrid it became 1-3 for Chelsea. So it can literally fall in any direction on Tuesday. A match to look forward to, just like the Napoli - AC Milan match.

Bochum has often been an obstacle to wins for the top teams and this time they managed to draw against Union Berlin away. Surely this is not the result that Union Berlin wanted because they could not get an additional three important points so they could be closer to Dortmund. On the other hand, Bochum must win the game next week to be safer from the relegation zone. A few notes added to the results of this match, previously Bochum managed to beat Leipzig and also held Frankfurt and lost only 1 time in the last 5 matches of the bundesliga, so I think Bochum has had quite significant results in its last few matches.
Bayern Munich's survival in the Champions League is now very difficult as I don't think they can beat Manchester City in the second leg. That's why Bayern Munich is now expected to focus heavily on the Bundesliga. Because Bayern Munich has the potential to win the Bundesliga title. Bayern Munich has positioned itself in a tricky situation. They should have been much sharper in the league, then they would have had a much bigger lead over the number 2 Dortmund. But in principle, Bayern Munich is still the favorite thanks to the 2-point lead. I didn't think that Freiburg would win the game today, but it did. Union Berlin has played very well for a long time and won a lot, but today was not easy. Yet 1-1 against Bochum is not a failure either, but Berlin has such high expectations that many people already experience a draw as a disappointment. |

Actually, the battle for the championship title has never been exciting this season, has it? Class difference is just too big with the rest of the teams. Take a look at PSG's lead. And even then PSG haven't even had a great season yet, they still easily won the championship title. But it's not worth much in Paris, that title has no importance. Not a good season nationally anyway because they won't win the cup title either because they have already been eliminated there. Lens is still in 2nd place but Marseille and Monaco are not far behind and my prediction is that both teams will overtake Lens in the rankings.

There are many different sports betting strategies. There are a number of similarities and differences, but the biggest similarity is that no system offers a guarantee of success. Waterproof systems do not exist. Martingale system is best known for Roulette, but you can also try this system at sports competitions. You could look at point betting in tennis, or perhaps the number of points scored in basketball. Then you just need a lot of patience, but here too you could theoretically lose each other 10x. MartinGale is therefore not good management.

Not much spectacle so far at the match between Cambuur and Feyenoord. Feyenoord is the better team as expected, but it is only 0-1 and so Cambuur is still in the race. I don't expect it to be another game in the 2nd half. If we quickly get the 0-2 and 0-3 then the resistance is broken. Would be nice for the tension if Cambuur managed to turn the 0-1 deficit into a 2-1 lead, but how realistic would that be? I think a very small chance. It doesn't matter for the title fight anyway. Cambuur also has little to gain and to lose.
ya.ya.yo!
We don't have to expect any miracles from Cambuur either. They're just not good enough for that. But a goal can still fall just right for this team. It is a dream season for Feyenoord. The current situation allows them to freewheel to the championship, and they are also in good shape in the EL due to a hard-fought home win over AS Roma. I just don't think Arne Slot will stay with Feyenoord next season, a success coach just like Ten Hag will make a switch to the EPL. There he will earn at least 3 or 4 as much and he will have a top team under his wing. |

Hamilton has donated the sport for about 10 years, but he has also always had the best car. And there were no other drivers who came to watch at Hamilton's level. Verstappen seems to be the only driver who has a lot of talent. Leclerc is also good but not close to Verstappen. Verstappen has also learned a lot in recent years, which is why he became world champion 2 seasons ago. Last year it was never exciting, not even for Verstappen. I think that will be the case this year as well. No one will keep up with Red Bull. Perez is a lesser driver than Verstappen, but who cares? Team performance is everything at Red Bull. There is not really a power struggle between Verstappen and Perez.

Juventus is easily Napoli's strongest team in the league. But the magic of Napoli also seems to be slowly wearing off. Juventus have been very unlucky that they have had a 15-point deduction. Or should you not speak of bad luck but of mismanagement? Probably the last. AC Milan and Inter Milan have reasonable performances in the league, but the focus for both teams will be on the CL. It would be a sensation if 1 of the two teams reached the final. Nobody expected that. Both have won the national title at least once in recent years. And Zlatan may be the oldest player to become champion in Italy. How can he stay so fit?

Arsenal are currently not as lucky as they often were in the rest of the season. And that luck ensures that they would have won those matches otherwise. Missing a penalty doesn't help, of course. According to the bookies, Man City is now the favorite again, because they will probably miss almost everything. We can therefore conclude that City's catch-up race has been successful. I don't know yet how things will go between Newcastle and United, but this seems to be a dream year for Newcastle United. They will make it to European football anyway, the only question is in which competition. Maybe the CL? Very real chance.

Tomorrow, Real Madrid will have an important match against Cadiz, who are in the relegation zone, and it won't be an easy game for Real Madrid.Cadiz, who have been in good form in recent weeks, will fight to get points from this match, but their job is not easy.There may be plenty of goals in the match.Cadiz will want to play a fast game and find goals.I expect both teams to score, but I'm not sure if Cadiz can score. The odds seem to indicate that.
Cadiz did well in their last game in defeating betis, it doesn't mean they will defeat real madrid in today's game. Real Madrid still remains a strong team with the best squad, Real Madrid has more chances of beating Cadiz because Cadiz still remains a struggling team trying to win their game. Cadiz have recorded more of loss and draws in their games, it will be difficult for them to comfortably win a team like like Real Madrid even if Real Madrid won't really put much effort in their laliga game's. You would say that should be an easy win for Real Madrid, but the game against Chelsea is also coming up soon. They have to take that seriously too. We all saw what happened last edition when Real Madrid won the first game 1-3 at Chelsea. A similar story as now, but then Chelsea led no less than 0-3 in the 2nd match in Madrid. The fact that Real Madrid made it to extra time was already a small surprise, but then they also managed to score the winning goal in extra time. But you can't compare Cadiz and Chelsea, of course. I don't think Angelotti wants to take much risk with his players, we might see half a B team in the game against Cadiz. You can't blame them either. |
