Maybe we missed a big chance to watch a Ronaldo vs Messi rivalry after the draw took place one more time. But we can still see this in the next round I guess. It is going to be depending on PSG to eliminate Real Madrid and Manchester United to do the same against Atletico Madrid. Both matchups are very difficult for them I believe. Real Madrid can make things very difficult for PSG especially in the rematch. But PSG still can move them out of the CL. And Manchester United can do the same by a close aggregate to Atletico Madrid.

I predicted that both teams would have been able to score in the Arsenal v West Ham match. But unfortunately, West Ham couldn't score. But I was feeling like Arsenal would be closer to a victory and that was what happened last night. Arsenal dominated each half of the match and earned this 2-0 win absolutely. They are having a two-win streak now in the league and right behind Chelsea that are at the third place. However the gap is 7 points between them now.

Barcelona's biggest problem is that they are inadequate in their attacking side. They are struggling to score more than they concede lately. If they can't solve the problem of conceding many goals then they should focus on scoring more than that. But they are still struggling with injuries. Among the injured players, some important attacking players of them exist also. These players are Ansu Fati, Braithwaite and Depay. And there is still some time for them to bounce back. And they have an important player missing in the midfield who is Pedri.

By the look of things, the Leicester - Tottenham match still hasn't been postponed. There are players who have got covid-19 for both teams here. They are not only facing injuries but also this annoying covid-19. I'm expecting this match to be postponed also. There are a lot of players missing and they wouldn't let the match be underway in these conditions. A very tight schedule is waiting for Tottenham already now as it will be their third match to be postponed.

I appreciate Bayern Munich's performance in the Stuttgart match a lot. They were absolutely unstoppable and finished their job very successfully by ending Stuttgart by a 5-0 result. When Bayern Munich care about a match too much, we see what happens clearly.    Bundesliga is like their toy now. And Dortmund can be the only team to stop them this season honestly. But even they are struggling these days. Maybe they will defeat Furth very easily but they should maintain a big win streak.

It looks like the first tests have already started for the 2022 season. But it is not with the new cars yet. The drivers are just trying new Pirelli tyres. And according to the schedule I've seen, Hamilton is not in it. Instead, George Russell is testing the new tyres. Lewis Hamilton must be still disappointed about FIA's decisions. And he is still angry at them most probably for not accepting that they didn't abide by the rules in the race. It cost Hamilton his title in the end.

I'm not very happy about the Barcelona - Napoli draw particularly. Because it is like a finale match in the Europa League. It would have been much better to see these qualified teams in the final round. Anyway, we can still enjoy watching both matches of this draw of course. I hope that Barcelona develop their current game much more than this until these matches. In the contrary case, Napoli can turn this draw into a one-sided one.

From now on, Barcelona will need to focus on the La Liga completely. They are out of the Champions League and they will continue on their way in the Europa League now. And their next match there is in two months. There is nothing holding Barcelona back from starting to get positive results in their next La Liga matches. And they must do this to be able to recover easier too. They should guarantee their place in top 4 somehow or we may not even watch them in the Champions League next season unless they win the Europa League title this season.

Kevin Durant is definitely one of the best players of all-time. Whichever team he goes to in NBA, he continues to show an extraordinary performance. I have watched him at Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors and Brooklyn Nets so far. He is a rare talent in NBA history and I hope that he doesn't quit NBA in the near future. He is still 33 now and can play for long years. It is just awesome to watch KD, Curry and LeBron at the same time.

Bayern Munich are maintaining their lead in the standings comfortably by a six-point difference and their next target to destroy is Stuttgart today. Bayern Munich have been winning their away matches against Stuttgart like all the time. This means that they have a very serious psychological superiority against Stuttgart. And this would be a big factor that can help Bayern Munich maintain this great statistics against them. I don't assume Bayern Munich would lose this one.

Arsenal have a home match against West Ham tomorrow night. And I hope to watch a competitive match also. Each team are one of the best teams after the top three ones in the league table. I remember how awesome Arsenal have climbed until reaching their current position in the league table. And they are the second best home team in the league now with 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. West Ham lost their last three away matches but they are still the 4th best away team now. I assume that each team will be able to score but can't predict the result.

There is another big match ahead as far as I can see now. In four days, Sevilla are going to be playing a home match vs Atletico Madrid. And if we consider the current conditions of both teams now, Sevilla are in a much better form. Atletico Madrid have lost two times consecutively and this can make things even more difficult for them here. A focused Sevilla have a big chance to win this match but I'd rather staying safe on my bets. The safest bet option seems to me like both teams to score.

Beside Inter's great performance in the recent times, I would like to indicate Atalanta's gigantic form recently too. They had a really tough away match against Verona one day ago. They already had a five-match winning streak before this one and they were very focused. But we know Verona as one of the middle teams that can upset the top teams in Serie A. They really tried it here also as they got ahead first. But Atalanta were aiming to win this match very much that they made a nice comeback. And they became successful about beating them by 2-1. Currently, they have left Napoli behind and got the 3rd position. And Milan are feeling their breath upon them.

I agree with all of your picks. Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Inter and Chelsea have a quite easy job ahead of them to do. Atletico Madrid are the strongest opponent considering the opponents of those teams I mentioned. But I don't think that they have much chance against Bayern Munich. Juventus and PSG might have a little hard time but I still don't expect them to make any mistake. Juventus might eliminate Sporting by a close gap but PSG might do better than that against Manchester United.

Chelsea - Leeds match absolutely met my expectations. There was a great and competitive match that I didn't want to miss even a single minute of it.    Truthfully, Leeds' performance was more than good. In Stamford Bridge, most of Chelsea's opponents have a really low chance for a win or maybe even a draw. Because they are showing a solid performance with the big help of Tuchel. But Leeds played like they weren't afraid of losing. And this was almost helping them collect one point by 2-2. Maybe Chelsea won by 3-2 but I appreciate the performances of them both.

Detroit Pistons are on an incredibly bad streak now and I guess that they are even getting close to breaking a consecutive loss record. They lost to Brooklyn Nets last night too and this was their 12th loss in a row. I really am curious about what is happening to this team. They lost by 104-116 in their home court and KD's performance was incredibly good. He got 51 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists. Harden was resting but KD still carried the team superbly.

I agree that it would be definitely a scandalous incident by UEFA again. Maybe the conditions are not right for Tottenham now but it shouldn't mean that the Tottenham - Rennes match should be cancelled and not be played later also. There is still going to be a time period between the draws and the matches of the next stage. In this time period, they can surely play their match. Let's say that they still couldn't, then Vitesse would move on as there will be no other chance left.

We have a new leader in the standings as it seems. While Napoli and Milan both lost points in their games at this weekend, a big opportunity for Inter arose to take the first place from Milan. Inter had a home match against Cagliari and annihilated them by 4-0 which was really a great result. They absolutely deserved to take the lead because they have had an incredible win streak so far. I'm really enjoying the Serie A this season as there is a high level of competition.
