Regarding the last game between Fenerbahce and Sevilla, to be honest. Sevilla was lucky to pass the stage and beat Fenerbahce because if you check the match you can see Fenerbahce performed even better than Sevilla and they even won Sevilla with a 1-0 result which can be a reason to say Sevilla will have a problem against Manchester United if they show the same performance we saw so far from them.
With the current condition of Sevilla and seeing Manchester United it is clearly very lame. I don't want to say that Sevilla is an easy opponent but with the current conditions, Manchester United's chance is definitely very big and I'm pretty sure about that. Sevilla are still good enough for the Europa League especially for their defense, but it's simply not enough to face Manchester United. Manchester United is much more prepared for this, I don't understand what problems Sevilla is faced this season, their performance continues to decline unlike the previous season In the 2021-22 Europa League season Sevilla had to stop in the round of 16, this season they manage to qualify for the quarter-finals but unfortunately Sevilla have to meet a team that is in its best performance, Manchester United Their mistakes began by selling some important pillars such as the Kounde in the previous transfer so that with this they became a little difficult for some adjustments. Now their condition is far compared to last season so Manchester United's chance is clearly very large. Even so actually I still hope for exciting games here especially this is the big 8. |

it's a shame these two strong teams have to meet early. so that one of them will end up in the quarter-finals. Bayern and Manchester city are indeed the superior teams, even since the group stage we have all been talking about the advantages of Man city and Bayern. And I think we definitely don't want to miss this fight. because surely many are waiting for it. even the level of play might feel like it's in the final. so yeah this match will be very interesting. I personally can't see which one will be superior. but I prefer to support Man City in that match later.
This is unavoidable now because regardless of what the conditions are now in the top 8, it is certain that there will be some big clashes that occur. It's a little difficult to discuss both because they have their advantages and disadvantages. This is not to be missed as it is clearly going to be very interesting. My hope for Manchester City in the first leg is that Pep doesn't do the same inconvenient things as they did in the first leg against Leipzig. |

Mason mount has a poor performance and has not improved and he expects Chelsea to improve the contract, even when Rudiger was in a powerful form, Chelsea delayed and refused to increments of the salary.
The truth is he is not up to the task, he might end up for Liverpool
But with that condition, isn't giving him to Liverpool the same as making Chelsea's condition even more difficult. I think Mount's current condition is affected due to several conditions where he needs new adjustments and the chemistry that is being built at this time is not right either with the coach or new players. He's been a little difficult in this regard asking for a raise which is arguably not really worth it but letting him go just like that is also something wrong. |

Tomorrow we will see the proof, whether Madrid is indeed able to take revenge and to make their chance to become champions exist or is it closed later.
The hope is clear that they can win even if it's only one goal because it will be profitable for them but if this ends in a draw or even a defeat it's clear this will be bad for them.
It's hard to miss El Clasico this time, Barcelona is in its best form in La Liga especially when playing at its headquarters. Real Madrid, who want to get full points at Camp Nou, must work hard to dismantle Barcelona defense which is very sturdy. Of course, this is not an easy job for Real Madrid players. Real Madrid must play optimally to avoid defeat, Real Madrid defense must be tightly closed so as not to concede goals. Real Madrid goal this time is to reduce the distance to 6 points and at the same time avenge their defeat in the first leg of the Copa Del Rey. If they lose, La Liga will belong to Barcelona because it is very difficult to chase 12 points. That's the problem, so they can't afford to lose in this game. Barcelona's condition may be in the upper hand but of course that's not the right reason for them to lose, especially with a margin that will definitely increase if they lose, then victory is a fixed price in this match. The worst possibility is when they lose it is clear that they have to give up the trophy and give up their title of defending champion this season. |

The El Clasico is going to be really interesting. I mean that there isn't a big title competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid anymore as the gap has increased a lot.
However this is still an El Clasico and it might even be a hope for Real Madrid to enter this competition once again. But to do this they have a really tough task to perform which is to win this game. In Camp Nou, I don't give a big chance to Real Madrid to win honestly. It is obvious that Barcelona are much better in the league. Their performance is more reliable now. Plus they have already beaten Real Madrid once in the Copa del Rey recently. I expect Barcelona to repeat this home even better. Lewandowski should make difference here.
I have little hope for Real Madrid in this upcoming match because they are very angry and want to exact revenge on Barcelona, and a win for Real Madrid will reduce the points gap between them and increase their chances of competing for the Laliga title, but a loss for Real Madrid will completely eliminate their title hopes because the difference will be almost 12 points, which will be very difficult to overcome. Tomorrow we will see the proof, whether Madrid is indeed able to take revenge and to make their chance to become champions exist or is it closed later. The hope is clear that they can win even if it's only one goal because it will be profitable for them but if this ends in a draw or even a defeat it's clear this will be bad for them. |

Turkish media talk about the possibility of Hazard coming to Turkish clubs. If he comes to the Turkish league, it will be perfect. I am sure that even the problem of not playing in Real Madrid will not be important in the Turkish league. Of course, if these claims are true. If it is not true, we are saying that there are still good enough players to play in the big clubs of Europe.
He can't find a chance to play in the first 11 in Real Madrid, but I don't expect him to come directly to Turkey. Before that, he can do a tour of Germany or Italy. Later on, his path may pass through Turkey. He is experiencing a very sharp drop in performance but still deserves a chance at one of the teams like Borussia Dortmund or Roma. Actually, it's hard to speculate about his career, but as long as Carlo Ancelotti is at Real Madrid, it's sure not to give him a chance to play. I can't judge whether his game is still worthy of being in Europe or not, because he rarely gets the chance to play. In La Liga he has only played 3 times out of 25 matches that have been completed by Real Madrid. so with the lack of minutes played I can't conclude how his condition was when he was on the field and judging only in 3 matches. I haven't heard of any European clubs interested in him now, and the rumors coming from Turkey, I'm only hearing about it now. I think leaving Real Madrid is the best way if you want to get high playing minutes. It's really difficult for Hazard now because with the very bad conditions at Madrid, other teams for Europe are clearly thinking again about bringing in this player and it's the same case as Bale who left a big competition in Europe. Now he has to restart his career but with his current age I think even playing minutes will be very difficult especially with the condition he hasn't played regularly for a long time. |

Therefore, I am personally very surprised when someone assumes that Chelsea will be able to beat Real Madrid, because the record on paper is of course very clear that at this moment Chelsea is not having a good performance. Therefore, it is very unlikely that Chelsea will be able to beat Real Madrid, let alone to get to the final so obviously that is a result that will not happen.
Reflecting on previous conditions, Chelsea also failed last season during the Tuchel era, even though at that time they were in pretty good shape, now they still have a lot of gaps so even though some people still think this is possible, I agree with what you said, this very small of the possibility of Madrid qualifying. Potter still needs to make a real splash for Chelsea's form if they are to be counted on. |

What? Finals? Sevilla was even too cowardly with their open game against Fenerbache and only continued to cultivate players in their defense.
On the other hand, at the moment Sevilla are not really worth it and to be here longer and of course Manchester United will take them back to La Liga just like they did to Barcelona and Real Betis before.
I think that the defensive was also a part of strategy that being used by sevilla. Sevilla was taking a decision to play safe rather than play with fully offensive against its opponent. It's allowed. I think that just because sevilla was using fully defensive strategy and you were blaming it as a wrong thing that should not be done. Sevilla was just trying to win the game. Win is everything. Win is everything no matter what kind of strategy that will be used. UEFA was not even restricting it. lol Indeed, in this case, I realize that it was not a mistake, but you also have to look at the condition they are playing with Fenerbache, they are very pressured like that, what about Manchester United. Then saying this is an early final is that also not a mistake because of the fact there are still many clubs who are far better to be in the final but not Sevilla. |

Manchester United - Sevilla is like an early finale in the tournament now. But Sevilla are not even close to their performance in the previous seasons. They couldn't eliminate Fenerbahçe on the previous round easily as well. Their performance in the La Liga is already a big mess. They are just trying not to relegate from the league I mean. In this situation they have to concentrate on the La Liga more than the Europa League if they don't want to relegate.
Of course they have a chance to win the Europa League title on paper as well but they need to keep these two tournaments balanced. Meanwhile Manchester United can benefit from the situation and eliminate them. After Arsenal have been eliminated by Sporting, Manchester United's chance to win the Europa League title has increased more.

Even though Man City can beat Bayern Munich, King UCL Real Madrid will be waiting in the semifinals next (I'm sure Real Madrid will win against Chelsea).
I think it really depends on the outcome of the match between Bayern Munich and Manchester City. If Manchester City qualify for the semi-finals, then Madrid will have that chance, but if Bayern Munich qualify for the semi-finals, it may be difficult for Real Madrid to get the next ticket. Even though in the end Manchester City or Bayern are still in a fifty-fifty condition, I think because you can't say that Bayern or Madrid have a chance that even City can win easily. The conditions will depend on whether they are capable or not in terms of performance and in terms of players, so things like that are still worth waiting for. |

This could easily become do or die for Real Madrid with just a single game. If they lose that means we have 12 point difference and there isn't enough game to cover the difference, it may look like there is a potential for it mathematically but we all know that it won't happen so Barcelona would practically be celebrating their league title after the game if they win.
However, if Real wins then the point difference will drop to realistic levels and they could pass them with just a few lucky games, still not entirely certain and may not happen so Real would not be celebrating anything, but at least they will still have a chance left to win it in the end.
Although Real Madrid are behind Barcelona in La Liga, they are still favorites for La Liga. Because at any moment Real Madrid can do something great. As Real Madrid are in a great position in the Champions League, doing well in La Liga is not a concern for them. Chances are they are shrinking and that is a fact today. Even though the schedule is still very long, the gap of 9 points is too far. They can reduce it now with the hope of winning in El Clasico, but that is not something that is easy to do at this time with their condition that they are still a bit constrained in converting opportunities into goals. |

this case, I always wonder whether this is how Ten Hag's obsession with Dutch players was like.
Even though he has been disappointed several times, he continues to do the same thing for this one player. Indeed, in this case De Jong is one of the young players who is quite good, but are you really not tired of the rejections that Barcelona continues to do now because they seem to try, who already know the answer will be the same by Barcelona
There is a saying that once you set your eyes on something then you should go for it. Eric Ten Hag sees de Jong as his missing puzzle at Manchester United and with Barcelona willingly open to sale him then Manchester United just have to try again. This time they might be lucky. My worries is let him not come and be under pressure in the premier league because of the physicality in the league I don't think so, because it just always seemed that Ten Hag was just too obsessed with Dutch players or had played alongside him before. At this point, we can see that Martinez, Antony and Weghorst are the ones he has brought, all of whom come from the Netherlands or the Eredivisie. On the other hand, previously there was also the name Gakpo and of course De Jong. Even though so far it's been very good, I still think we can't force it, especially since we know that De Jong has been rumored several times and failed. |

It seems Manchester United still have their mind set on bringing Frankie De Jong to the club despite getting disappointed and all approach turned down by the player in the summer they still want to try again. Frankie De Jong is a very talented player who obviously matches the hype so it's no surprise why Manchester United are bent on having him on their team.

Atletico Madrid might have a chance to catch up with Real Madrid even more this week. Because I believe Real Madrid are likely to lose the El Clasico as I said before.
Atletico Madrid have a home game against Valencia meanwhile. I don't expect this game to be very challenging for them. Because they are already on an amazing unbeaten streak now and they are winning so many games recently. This should be a huge motivation for them to keep this going. Valencia aren't one of the teams that can make big difficulties for them.
If indeed that happens, when Madrid lose here, their chance is also closed to catch Barcelona and let this season's trophy fall to Barcelona. Madrid clearly knows this, so they can't lose again now, especially since this could also be a decision for them whether they can still catch up or not. It's really a shame if they must to lose again in this match. |

I think it can be more interesting if we see a match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid while on the other side, we can have Napoli and Manchester City because Napoli could perform very well so far and they have Victor Osimhen who is known for his awesome performance in the Napoli while in Manchester City they have Haaland with the same situation, so I think we these two forward players face each other we can see an amazing match.
I still hope these 4 teams don't meet that soon because indeed it would be very unfortunate if the big clubs met in the top 8 because the hope is clear that the semi-finals will be much more exciting it seems. Even so, the 4 clubs that you mention here now are candidates that really deserve to be seen how they navigate the Champions League this season. |

Arsenal and Sporting are still very worth watching now with performance conditions that don't want to give in and the aggregate is still this series is clearly very worth watching.
On the other hand 2 German clubs are really in big trouble because currently Union and Freiburg are left behind with the condition of players who have been sent off due to red cards.
Even though I had high hopes for the German representatives, it looks like their steps will have to stop at this phase.

Manchester United is a very stable team now. Despite a somewhat erratic performance in the Premier League, they are playing very well in the Europa League. Perhaps winning the Europa League is their main goal this season.
That should not be their primary goal, and they should not lose sight of the battle for a place in the Premier League. At the moment, I believe the Premier League will be more difficult for them than the Europa League. They should not deviate from their current focus of winning the Premier League or finishing in the top four. Every team experiences ups and downs, which usually occur when they least expect it. This season, I believe Manchester United will be strong contender both for the Premier League and the Europa League this season. EPL Hunt? With the condition that they are 16 points behind Arsenal and hope that they can still turn around and become champions there it is too impossible so that the big chance to focus on the Europa League will be perfect for them. But that doesn't mean they can also relax in the EPL because the top 4 positions still have to be maintained, it's just that more priority to the Europa League is more realistic. |

Nothing can happen now.
Real and Napoli won their 1/8 of the final and they are at the quarter finals.
The draw will be done Friday.
It was predictable from the start actually in this case, but what's interesting is that Liverpool actually increased the aggregate lol The conditions will be more interesting in the top 8 this time because there is indeed less room for movement and the big clubs are getting ready to compete with each other now. But on the other hand now Benfica and Napoli are one of the underdogs for the top 8 even though in fact they are also not very fit to say that but looking at other clubs I think they are new members in the top 8. |

This second half it seemed that Madrid started to be more daring to play the ball and it got a little better in the first half.
There have been quite good opportunities from Valverde some time ago but it's quite unfortunate that Alisson is still quite alert in blocking the ball which could have resulted in a goal for Madrid.
With the current conditions it seems that Liverpool's chances are closed if they don't make a real breakthrough.
