Monaco started to get complacent recently and we saw its reflection on their Lyon game today as well. The first half was nice for Monaco actually but their performance got much worse in the other half. This helped Lyon a lot to get ahead and have a decent goal gap with their opponent as well. This 3-1 victory is really important for Lyon because they are still in the fight for the fifth position to qualify for the ECL.

Lacazette was again one of the bests of the day as usual. Since the day he joined back Lyon it has been like he was born again. He is sharing the first position in top scorers with Mbappe - 26 goals. Despite his high effort they are still not fighting for the Champions League though. Therefore something needs to change for them.

Barcelona indeed achieved their main goal for this season. However the next target will surely be to have a decent success in the Champions League. One thing is certain that the fans and board both will expect their team to not have much problems on qualifying for the next round after the group stage. Because Barcelona have been quite inadequate in the group stage already for a while.

Xavi needs to prepare his players special to Champions League games this time. Because we have all witnessed their incapable look against big teams. Maybe they have many young players right now but their potential is still more than that.

Manchester City's performance against Real Madrid was really something else and they reached the finale after that. They have improved their morale now so this should be enough to beat Chelsea without big difficulties. In this condition I don't think Chelsea can put up any good fight against Manchester City. Because they don't even have their permanent manager yet.

Chelsea have given up this season already and Manchester City can even destroy them by a big score in Etihad. This would be an important victory for them as well as they will be one step closer to declaring their league title.

Milan are going to play their most comfortable fixture of the season tomorrow. It is a home match against Sampdoria which have already relegated from the Serie A. It would be a huge surprise if Milan somehow manage to lose points here as a result. Milan are out of the Champions League as well so they have only one goal left which is to finish the season in top four here at least.

They will hope for at least one of Lazio - Inter duo to lose points on the same week of course. We are three weeks away from the end of the season so this is one of the critical weeks for Milan side to make it there. But their job is still pretty difficult.

After two consecutive losses Freiburg really need to collect themselves. Otherwise the gap is likely to get bigger with Union Berlin and they would lose their Champions League ticket chance before the final week. I know that it will be nearly guaranteed for Union Berlin to keep their presence in top four in case of beating Hoffenheim. But as for Leipzig we never know yet actually.

If Freiburg win and Leipzig lose to Bayern Munich then the point gap will be only one between. The final week would be quite intriguing to watch. But first Freiburg don't have a very easy game against Wolfsburg and they had better prepare well to beat them.

He has mostly played as a centre-forward so far and he was expected to fill Lewandowski's place well too. But I wasn't having such expectations from him as he isn't a complete striker like Lewandowski. Besides Mane's main position is winger so it is the most ideal thing for him. People started to criticize his performance and Mane also made some statement that gave green light to a possible departure.

Coming back to the Premier League would be really nice actually. He was doing a great job with Liverpool and I believe he still can with these rumoured teams too.

Liverpool are going to play their game after Manchester United as well. Newcastle won by a really huge score like 4-1 indeed. I was doubtful a little after Brighton dropped the goal gap to one but Newcastle still got a solid win after. I will be expecting a decent win by Manchester United too. In that case Liverpool will have really no choice left other than beating Aston Villa home.

Liverpool have been trying to hunt one of Newcastle and Manchester United for top four but it doesn't look like this week is the one they will get ahead of one of them. They just have to keep winning for now to hope for those two teams to make a mistake.

Cadiz and Valladolid are going to face each other tonight. And this is a quite important game considering relegation as well. They are sharing the points now and right above the relegation zone by only one point too. Cadiz beat their opponent away before and their recent form is a little better than them as well. Maybe this can be some help for Cadiz to capture the psychological advantage.

Bookmakers are also favouring Cadiz to win here. Maybe it is still a risky bet but I'm going for Cadiz win in this game.

Roma just let Leverkusen come all the way against themselves last night. Because they had only 1 goal attempt in the whole game while Leverkusen had so many. Still it is Leverkusen's fault that they can't even score one goal despite that many opportunities. Mourinho just told his players to play his classical defensive game and that was really enough to make it to the finale.

I don't know why Leverkusen were this much incapable of scoring a single goal in both legs of this matchup. They haven't been this bad so far actually but they couldn't do what they targeted here.

Chelsea still haven't made their decision about their next manager officially as it seems. Pochettino is still the most rumoured name with them but let's see what the future will bring us. Nagelsmann has been another strong candidate for the job as well you know. Even Mourinho's name is around here despite his managing Roma already and the season's not being finished yet.

But in my opinion the last decision will be Pochettino as he is one step closer to the job according to the news. I understand that they don't want to do this in a hurry as the season hasn't even officially ended. But they had better act fast until the transfer window.

Butler is really unstoppable recently. He had another marvelous game against Boston Celtics in the first leg of the semi finals with 35 points. Tatum had a really decent game with 30 points maybe but it wasn't enough to prevent Miami Heat from winning the game. Even the odds were highly favouring Celtics for this one so congratulations to the people who still bet on Heat.

I was expecting many people to bet on Heat anyway because they have been one of the surprising teams of the playoffs considering their regular season performance. I'm not sure if they can win this series as well but even if they don't this effort deserves appreciation.

Lazio had better be a little more careful than Inter about keeping their presence in top four from now on. Because they are even closer to Milan in the standings - four points. Their next fixture isn't an easy one honestly as it is an away one against Udinese. Lazio couldn't beat them even in a home game before. However the look of their head-to-head games in Udinese's home has been much better.

I think that Lazio will find a way to beat Udinese which are an aimless team in the league right now. Making it to the Champions League must be the board's main expectation from them now.

Real Sociedad are getting closer to having the last ticket for the Champions League group stage every week. While there are only four weeks left they are already five points ahead of Villarreal right now. However the remaining games don't seem comfortable at all for Real Sociedad side. Because three of them are big games against Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Sevilla. The ones against the first two teams are even away games.

However there are a couple of tough games left for Villarreal side as well. Maybe they can have big difficulties in those games and this would help Real Sociedad to keep the distance at a safe level. Besides Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are already in a comfortable position now so Real Sociedad can still get decent results in those games if they fight hard.

Newcastle are going to play their absent game tomorrow night. This isn't a prestige game for any sides at the moment. Because it is important for Newcastle to stay ahead of Manchester United and Liverpool both to keep their presence in top four. On the other hand Brighton are trying to qualify for the Europa League at worst. But their position is under the threat of Tottenham - Aston Villa duo right now.

Their previous head-to-head game ended up with a goalless draw maybe but I don't expect the same this time. I will be expecting goals from both sides here.

Yeah even if Leipzig lose against Bayern Munich it won't be a big deal for them most probably. Because their final fixture is indeed against Schalke home and I would expect nothing different than a victory for Leipzig side. Schalke are trying some things to stay in the Bundesliga but they are still very vulnerable against big teams of the league.

Their game against Bayern Munich was a great example for that. Considering that Leipzig are in a good form they should be able to take advantage of Schalke's defensive weaknesses comfortably.

This is a total destruction by Manchester City and they have just scored their third goal. From now on I don't think Real Madrid have any hope left in this small time period remaining in the game. This time Manchester City didn't let their opponent shock them in the same way they did in the previous season. Winning by 4-1 on aggregate is really huge for Manchester City as well.

Because this is like one of the best kind of revenge types for them. This time Manchester City are really going for the Champions League title and Inter can't be a big obstacle ahead in my opinion.

In a few days there is a really nice game between Napoli and Inter. This game could have been more exciting if Napoli didn't declare their title already. But hopefully we can still watch some nice performances especially by Inter players. Inter are in a great form recently. They are still on a lasting winning streak and they have qualified for the Champions League finale on one hand.

They are actually in a safe situation in the standings now but there is still nothing certain yet. I think they will use this improved morale for their advantage and I won't be surprised if they win against Napoli away here.

Manchester United are just continuing to risk their chance about qualifying for the Champions League now. They lost two games recently and finally improved their morale a little by beating Wolves. But this needs to keep going if they want to secure their position. Because Liverpool have been unstoppable for so many weeks. They are fully dedicated about making it to top four.

Manchester United and Newcastle both have one more missing game to play compared to Liverpool. This is an advantage to make use of in my opinion. If both of them keep going decently Liverpool will just have to make do with that winning streak at the end of the season.

Sevilla are still keeping their hopes up about finishing the season in top seven. There are literally five teams fighting for the seventh position right now and the biggest point gap among them is only 2. The final weeks will be quite tight for these teams. It is the same for Sevilla as they are still a part of the Europa League on one hand. Besides there are three teams ahead of Sevilla now.

I expect to see Sevilla giving more importance to the Europa League title now of course. Winning the title will be their ticket to the Champions League. Therefore they might have big issues with winning the current fight in the La Liga at the same time due to concentration issues.

After Freiburg's losing hard against Union Berlin by 4-2 I don't think Leipzig would lose their presence in top four from now on. The point gap between Leipzig and Freiburg is four already while there are two weeks left for the end of the season. Besides there is Union Berlin right between them in the standings as well. Leipzig are about to guarantee their Champions League ticket soon.

Therefore I doubt Leipzig's performance against Bayern Munich next time. They might not play their best game while they aren't under high level threat. Bayern Munich can make use of it and just win in Allianz Arena in my opinion.
