We are going to have a Brighton - Manchester United match today as well. For this match, Manchester United are slightly the favourite side as far as I can see. But I still can't trust them as much as to bet on them even a bit. But if they somehow manage to win this match, they will equalize the points with Tottenham and keep themselves safe against West Ham as well. But Brighton defeated big teams like Arsenal and Tottenham away in the near past so this is a very difficult match for Manchester United. I think both teams will score but I'm not making any comments on the result.

Ben de gerçekten anlam veremiyorum siyasetin geldiği şu seviyeye. Yani koca koca adamlar birbirlerini resmen kavgaya çağırıyorlar tahrik ederek. İki tarafın da konuyla ilgili yaklaşımları çok yanlış benim düşünceme göre. Ne olursa olsun siyaseti bu kadar önemsiz bir noktaya getirmemesi gerekir hiçbir milletvekili, bakan vs. gibi bir insanın. Bu seviye düzelmediği sürece de iktidar değişse bile üsluplarda değişen hiçbir şey olmayacaktır o konuda da şüphem yok. Bir ülke kabadayılıkla değil mantıkla yönetilir.

Bielefeld are in a big trouble now after losing to Bochum 2-1 yesterday. It would have been much better for them if they had managed to win that match. Because it would have carried them right in front of Stuttgart in the standings. Tomorrow they will just hope for and beg Bayern Munich to finish off Stuttgart in Allianz Arena. I believe that it is very likely to happen even though Bayern Munich are already the champions of this season officially. In that case, Bielefeld are going to need to defeat Leipzig next time home and hope for Stuttgart to lose to Koln home.

Mavericks finally managed to win a game in this series and dropped the gap to one. They won 103-94 last night and there was finally a better game by them as a team. Doncic only by himself can't carry the team until the end. They always need an extra contribution by at least one more player. And this game was exactly like that. Jalen Brunson contributed a lot to the game by 28 points. And Doncic had a solid performance again by 26 points. And he got 13 rebounds and 9 assists as well. His field goal percentage wasn't much high but this contribution is still very much.

Heat and Suns had a great night and have made their series 2-0 now. Heat beat Sixers by 119-103 again and this is quite alarming for Sixers now. Of course they would still stay focused as Heat haven't got 3-0 ahead yet. But I hope that Embiid returns by the next game and they can start fighting much better against Heat. Sixers are going to have two home games consecutively now and they can make it 2-2 if Embiid is able to play in those. And for the Suns - Mavericks game, the result didn't surprise me. Suns have just an awesome team play but it isn't the same for Mavericks. Doncic is trying to carry the team by himself and he scored 35 points in this one.

And an early goal by Leipzig would also be a huge problem for Rangers. Leipzig performed just awesome against Atalanta in the previous round of the tournament. And they managed to beat Atalanta away too. They would like to achieve the same success against Rangers here. But we will see how much durable Rangers are going to be. They will need to defend them with all they have got to increase their chance to advance. But it is going to be really tough for them to move Leipzig out of the tournament.

And for the Manchester City - Newcastle match, I think that Manchester City will absolutely win this match without any trouble. Newcastle are not fighting for anything now. They just would like to finish at the best position they can from now on. But things are completely different for the home team. Manchester City are in a big competition with Liverpool to achieve the title. And there is not any tolerance for them to lose points in this match. They need to win every single one of their remaining matches to do this. So they will do exactly that here.

Fiorentina - Roma seems like it can be the most interesting match on this week. Because they are no different than each other considering their current condition in the league. And they both are fighting for a good spot to be able to make it to the Europa League or Europa Conference League. Both of them have almost the same form these days as they haven't been winning a match for three weeks. Fiorentina might be more out-of-morale as they lost all of their last three matches. And for this match, I think that both of them would score and it would end up with a draw.

It was definitely an unforgettable night. Actually the match wasn't going on very interestingly for a long time. And after Manchester City got 1-0 ahead, I didn't think that Real Madrid would do anything at that point. Because their performance wasn't even too good until then. But they literally performed a miracle in the last minutes which proves again that football is a very interesting sport. Thanks to Rodrygo's goals, they maintained their chance and Benzema scored the winning goal for them to advance to the finale. It was such an incredible match.

When it comes to the tough match between Liverpool and Tottenham, I think that we can watch a competitive match actually. Liverpool play a dominant game in their home matches that's the truth. But Tottenham have been very good against the biggest teams of the league since Antonio Conte became their coach. Like some people already indicated it, they already beat Manchester City in Etihad. Why wouldn't we see another one in Anfield? It depends on how careful Liverpool will be playing in this. They are in a title race in the end and I think they will win this match somehow. Otherwise, they might have bigger difficulties in the last moments of the season.

Napoli and Juventus both are relieved about keeping a position in top four from now on as Roma have lost their chance to keep up with them. There is only a fight between them to finish the season at the third position now. Mathematically, these teams both have chance for the title also but it is a very far possibility to me. Milan or Inter are the champions, it is obvious. And when it comes to which side to finish the season at the third position, I think Juventus might make it. Napoli seem to be more unreliable these days.

Harika bir geceydi. Villarreal beklediğimden kat kat büyük bir performans sergileyerek Liverpool'u ilk yarıda oynatmadı resmen. Ayrıca ilk yarıdan 2-0'ı yakalamaları çok dikkat çekiciydi. Sonrasında yapmaları gereken kontrollü bir oyunla dikkatli oynamaktı. Ama Liverpool ikinci yarıda kendine gelmeyi başardığı için her zamanki performansını da sergilemeye başladı. Bir Liverpool klasiği olarak da çok kısa bir zaman aralığında 2-2'yi yakaladılar. Sonra Villarreal iyice oyundan düşünce de Mane ile 3. gol çok kolay geldi. Villarreal yine de çok başarılı bir sezon geçirdi çünkü bu tarihlerindeki 2. yarı final oldu bu turnuvada.

What an unbelievable night! Grizzlies managed to beat Warriors 106-101 and the series is tied 1-1 now. But the most attention getting part was that Ja Morant scored 47 points in this game. And he wasn't nearly making do with this too as he would have made a triple-double also (8 reb, 8 ast). I was very impressed by his incredible performance and he had the biggest role in this victory of course. Curry was able to answer him by only 27 points which was not very impressive after seeing that. It looks like this series is going to continue very interestingly.

We had a really unforgettable match yesterday. I think that even Liverpool weren't expecting to start the match like that despite Emery's words before the match. He said that it was not going to be easy for Liverpool as it was in Anfield. And by their amazing first half performance, I believe that Liverpool got his point there. After I saw that Villarreal ended the half 2-0 ahead, my interest in the match increased a lot. But in the second half, Liverpool made them remember who is the boss again and made an incredible comeback. But even though they won by 3-2, I really appreciate Villarreal's high effort in this round.

Marseille's remaining matches all are very difficult ones I think. These are against Lorient (away), Rennes (away) and Strasbourg (home). Lorient are making an effort not to relegate from the Ligue 1 currently. And we already know how strong Rennes and Strasbourg are now. Rennes are trying to take the second position from Marseille and the current gap is only three points. And Strasbourg are trying to win the position they lost back at least. Therefore, Marseille will need to show a good performance against all of them to have good results.

Twitter'da bir kullanıcının yorumunu görmüştüm çok gülmüştüm de şimdi linkini bulamadım. Süper Lig, İstanbul metrobüs hattına döndü yazmıştı.    Harbiden her geçen sezon bu sayı artarsa çok ilginç olacak. Neredeyse ligin yarısı İstanbul takımı olacak. İstanbul derbisi olacak her maç yakında bu gidişle.    Ümraniyespor da aynı Ankaragücü gibi harika bir sezon geçirip yükselmeyi hak etti. Playofflardan bir İstanbul takımının daha Süper Lig'e yükselme ihtimali yüzde 50 şu an. Eğer İstanbulspor ya da Eyüpspor gelirse sayı daha da artacak.

Suns and Heat started their series really nicely last night. Suns beat Mavericks 121-114 and Heat beat Sixers 106-92. None of them had a big difficulty in beating their opponents in the first leg and this must be feeling great for them. Actually I can say that Suns - Mavericks was more challenging but Suns still managed to win by a good team play. For Mavericks, Doncic played incredibly awesome. He had 45 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists. He was the usual Doncic but they still couldn't win. And the reason why Sixers struggled was Embiid's absence due to his injury of course.

If I'm to talk about the second leg of the Leipzig - Rangers draw, I can start with stating that Leipzig are still highly favourite side to advance to finale. I saw that the first leg was very competitive and challenging for both of these teams. But in the end, Leipzig are advantageous as they won by 1-0. They will need to make a big effort to maintain this. And if they get ahead somehow too, I don't think that Rangers can make a comeback anymore. But I hope to see another competitive match there too. I wish the best wins this one.

The next matches that are important for being the champion in the league are Inter - Empoli and Verona - Milan. I think that we will see another week without loss point of points for Inter and Milan both. Inter have a much easier match to play actually. I don't think that Empoli can make them serious difficulties in Giuseppe Meazza. And Inter would be the new leader temporarily in case they win. Milan are going to have a more difficult match because Verona still have a chance to make it to the Europa Conference League at least. But I still trust Milan about winning this one too.

Transfer dedikoduları bir süre sonra başlayacaktır hemen tabi ki. Fakat kulüplerimizde o kadar para var mı işte orası tartışılır. Eski yıllarda olduğu gibi biraz yaşını almış süper yıldız oyuncular getirme geleneği artık devam ettirilemiyor. Kulüplerin o kadar fazla borcu var ki transferler için büyük bir bütçe ayırmak istemiyorlar. Ama keşke o bahsettiğim yıllara geri dönebilsek de ligin kalitesi yine artsa. Büyük takımlarımız bile çok da etkileyici bir kadroya sahip değiller. Aralarında Şampiyonlar Ligi ve Avrupa Ligi'nde mücadele edecek olanlar var ve kadro güçlendirmeleri yapmaları şart bir yerde.
