Anyway, now there is news that it is Lewandowski's turn to suffer a hamstring injury during last night's match with Almeria. I think this is not a good thing especially in a few days there will be an El Clasico match in the Copa Del Rey Semifinals and this will definitely make Xavi confused about the formations for his players.
Obviously this will be a problem again for Barcelona. It is not impossible that their condition due to the loss of several previous players during the Champions League group phase will be repeated later in terms of performance which makes it difficult for them to win. It is certain that he will be absent when El Clasico in the Copa del Rey and of course with this Xavi needs to think more than before. |

Glad to see that PSG has managed to win against marseille with good scores. I wonder how another club will able to chase PSG which was still standing at the top place.
The gap between the competitors becomes even bigger. I see no chance for its competitors like marseille or lens to catch up PSG. This season is being dominated by PSG. It seems like that PSG has more than 90% chance to win the trophy.
Since Marseille has a strong team and plays well at home, I didn't have high hopes for Paris Saint-Germain to win yesterday's match. However, from what I saw, psg has proven to be the best team in France. Because 25 games out of 38 have already been played, and I can say that Marseille and Lens have given up trying to catch PSG with the ongoing League 1 trophy. I also believe that there aren't that many more games left to play. This point differential will increase PSG's confidence in winning the trophy. After all, the condition of the team and the quality of the players also make this an important factor and it would be really bad if PSG lost in this match, but if they actually won, even if it was good, this would still be considered normal. With this victory they managed to get away from pursuit and comfortably be at the top and it is not impossible that this can also make them lock the title this season again. |

Chelsea continue to drop points. Yesterday they lost 2-0 to Tottenham. This loss is not good for them. Graham Potter and his team can't get it together. It's not good for them. They need to recover as soon as possible. There's nothing like the Chelsea of yesteryear. This team won the Champions League a couple of years ago. Now they're almost relegated from the league. They need to solve this with either a change of manager or a few transfers as soon as possible.
Their cooperation is starting to take shape, it's just that in the final finishing they still don't have that. but it's like you said, regardless of anything this is something that is very difficult for Chelsea to say about points because continuing to drop points will make them receive more real criticism. |

Manchester United is becoming the most organized team in English league this season, winning matches and just secured one trophy out of the 4 competitions they are playing this season. They still have hopes of making great in other competitions and toping the league table in couple of weeks.
Indeed Erick Ten Hang has come to restore the lost glory of old Trafford.
I hope you don't forget Arsenal in this regard. But talking about Manchester United indeed this season after the conflict with Ronaldo after they slowly made a good breakthrough and Ten Hah's first trophy in his first season is good enough now. Hopefully they won't be too complacent with the results this time so that the momentum can be maintained. |

Today both Messi and mbappe made history in football. Messi has scored his 700th goal in football and that is a very monumental record to achieve in football.
In the other hand mbappe has scored his 200th goal for PSG and that is a very wonderful achievement at his age and considering the time he arrived the club
Mbappe's brace and 1 goal from Messi completely destroyed Marseille in this match. Marseille continued to press but indeed in this game PSG really did very well. With this condition they are comfortable again at the top because they managed to stop the momentum and gain points from Marseille. |

-snip- In their current position of 8 in the EPL table, I don't think Liverpool will make it to the position of 5, let alone 4, except they are able to perform some real magic, or maybe some teams in the upper positions dropped, and gives Liverpool the opportunity of moving one or two steps forward in the table, but on their own efforts, I don't think they can reach the fifth position. Makes sense. Even they are facing against Crystal palace and they still cannot create any goal, with result for now 0 - 0 until in the 84 minutes. That seems like Liverpool condition is really being worse this season. Even though they were able to control the game, their attacking lines really weren't really strong so they lost many chances to score goals. This is bad and Liverpool really need something new to strengthen their attack line, and also various midfield and back which are also bad next season. The match is almost over but the score still hasn't changed? Is Liverpool really that bad at the moment. Even though they had lots of opportunities, of the many opportunities that existed, none of them could be converted into goals, which made this really very bad for Liverpool. With this condition the exit door for Klopp is even bigger. |

The 4 clubs that are in the top 4 can get through week 24 with a win, that makes their position and point difference between them unchanged. If they can do this every week, then the competition will be even more interesting, moreover, if Paris Saint Germain can slip again, then it will create opportunities for the club they are currently shadowing to have a bigger chance. I hope that the club, which is currently in the closest position to Paris Saint Germain, can continue to provide good consistency.
I don't think the 4 first teams are really the main hope for the first position of this season because teams like Lens don't have enough power compared to teams like Paris Saint-Germain if you compare players and potential these two teams have also Monaco's performing very well recently and they are getting progress but they didn't start the season well enough however if they continue playing like this they can have hope for this season. Lens performance right now seems to be back to what they used to do. It's a shame even though for the start of the season they were still very good in my opinion. At the moment they are still playing and the game is almost over for the first half with Lens in the lead. But indeed, with the condition of their defense that they still always concede goals, it doesn't mean that this one goal will be safe because Montpellier also doesn't want the momentum of their revival to be disrupted now. |

The 2 matches tomorrow are the things that the most are really waiting for.
Bayern-Union Berlin, Freiburg-Leverkusen will really be interesting to watch as this week closes.
The conditions will be very decisive because if one of them loses, whether it's any club, it's still very possible for the standings to change. Bayern and Union we already know that will change on the other hand Freiburg is also still not safe in terms of the current conditions so this is really worth watching

Espanyol vs Mallorca. Mallorca dominated the whole game. But Mallorca unfortunately lost 2-1 against Espanyol. Espanyol's defense was very strong. Although Mallorca dominated the whole match, Mallorca players failed to penetrate the Espanyol defenders. Espanyol, on the other hand, capitalized on two chances brilliantly. Espanyol's Martin Braithwaite scored the first goal in the 22' minute of the game and scored the winning goal in the 51' minute of the game.
Mallorca in this match in my opinion they wasted too many chances. Actually their attack with domination of ball possession was very good, it's just that their final finishing was really bad which made it difficult for them. On the other hand, for Espanyol they are good at taking advantage of the momentum and of course this turned out well when Braithwaite managed to score a brace in this game. |

There is no doubt about Real Madrid in the match against Atletico Madrid because Real Madrid has a good trend in Derby matches. moreover, Real Madrid will go down with a complete squad in this match, of course it will be a positive side for them to get 3 points. benzema is fit enough he returned to present 2 goals against Liverpool. Indeed, one of the weak sides of Real Madrid this season is the lack of consistency in the Laliga this season, even in the previous few matches they lost points when they faced Mallorca and Villarreal.
But this week I think Real madrid will continue the positive trend and stay focused on their target of closing the gap on the leaders.
I think the big win against Liverpool will give them nice feelings before this match. Real Madrid used to play well when there's pressure on them. Liverpool, Atletico, and Barcelona in 8 days might look difficult, but they previously showed strong attitude in similar situations. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid need to change their playing style that is completely exposed to other teams. This has been a pretty tough week it seems. They have lost 3 big matches and 2 are in sight now. It is possible that in this case Madrid will still be able to get 3 points for Atletico because this is like a must but by looking at Barcelona, the Copa del Rey is actually not very important, it's just that this is prestige because it's impossible for them to want to lose again after losing to Barcelona. |

At this stage the competition won't be easy for any of these three at the top having the same point. The competition will be very tense , my fear about Bayern Munich is injury challenge of their players, I don't know if they can scale through by having more points. Bayern Munich won't be able to get points to lead the league, I believe Dortmund is the next team to lead because they are becoming consistent in the games. It will still be nice if Dortmund can win Bundesliga because for sometime they haven't gotten any chance to win.
Bayer munchen has lost his teeth because quite important players have been injured while their dortmund is slowly returning to their best form and as we can see in the Dormund standings without losing in the last five matches it seems that Edin Terzic and Armin Reutershahn have managed to improve the abilities of their players very quickly. I also believe that Bayer Munich will suffer a setback, the top of the Bundesliga is quite tense in Week 21 and Julian Nagelsmann may have to be more careful with their current situation is not good. Maybe this is the best time for Dortmun to take advantage of the situation when its strongest rival is not feeling wel The most prominent contribution is actually Adayemi in my opinion and for the next few weeks it will be a little difficult for Dortmund because Adayemi has to rest for a while. But with the current conditions and seeing the opponent they will face is Hoffenheim, I think it is very likely that this will be another victory for Dortmund in their condition, even though they are not reinforced by several core players. |

In my personal opinion, Lionel Messi needs to leave PSG and go to another team. Because Lionel Messi is failing to match himself in PSG. He will be able to do great things if he joins any other team.
Where? Is there currently a team that is really suitable for him? Messi's performance with his age is still very good at PSG how can this not keep up. We have to be aware that age matters and we can't expect the same when Messi is in La Liga because this obviously can't happen again. Age holds back and that's for sure because even though he can still keep up but his glory is over at Barcelona and now he just has to play like this to still be good. |

A bit confused to see Lille odds today that the bookie has provide them low odds @1.36 from their opponent Brest @8.60 and i know from recent performance Lille were better than Brest but head to head statistics has showed even Lille were unable to win 5 times streak from Brest so i am not sure Lille win could be the best picked for this match because they were always be hard struggle while against Brest so i don't think Brest will be easily to beat by Lille today even probably there is a chance for Brest at least get 1 point from this match so that's why i am thinking to bet draw or both teams to scores
Very strange odds for Brest, even though Brest came as a guest I think that many odds make the considerations a bit shaky to favor Lille. But if it's head to head like that I think it really doesn't hurt to bet on the options like you said. What is certain is that Lille will try to win this match because they have a target to shift Rennes' position on the standings board. I think this is quite reasonable. Brest's performance is still below standard now and seeing from the last 5 matches they managed to score only 1 win so these odds are still decent. With Lille's current condition and them playing at home, it is clear that they are the favorites in this match and the bookies are not wrong in the odds. |

Personally, I don't think Union Berlin will be champion in this season. That seems unlikely to me. This group is not weak. However, the team's performance suddenly dropped. Against Schalke they definitely should have earned full points. But they can't do it. Union Berlin had a poor performance against Schalke. I think Dortmund and Bayern Munich teams are doing much better than Berlin right now. And if Dortmund continues to perform like they are now, Dortmund has a chance to win the title.
Not only you but everyone will definitely not think about conditions like this because the possibility is clearly very small. But what they did this time was really very inconvenient and of course this was something that was really good at making Bayern at least uncomfortable with their current condition. But at the end of the season, in the end, only Bayern could bring the trophy. Dortmund may continue to improve its performance in every game, the same point as Bayern makes its position threatened, if Dortmund continues to do its best and scores several goals, Dortmund can become the leader of the standings. Several matches will continue, and tomorrow will be against Hoffenheim. Karim adeyemi will be the spearhead that will make Dortmund's game even better. Karim Adeyemi scored a goal against Hertha Berlin last week. There are some things I don't agree with about this. First, Dortmund is really very good, but when Bayern are consistent, even though they also won points and still maintain the same points, it is clear that there will be no superiority. Bayern productivity is still very far for them in terms of goals. And maybe you missed on this, Adayemi now for the next 3 weeks including the 2nd leg of the Champions League he will not be able to play due to a muscle injury. |

Atletico Madrid have played really well in the league in the last few weeks. They haven't lost a game for a long time, but this week that will change. Real Madrid are in the mood right now and their morale is so high after the Liverpool win. This situation will also be reflected in league matches, it was good for them that they will play against a team like Atletico this week. I agree with the idea that Real Madrid will win this match  There is never a certainty in matches like this. Its a derby match, not just any derby but the Madrid derby. There's always extra motivation in matches like this. It doesn't matter if Madrid are on high morale or not, its not going to an easy game for them. Atletico have been really good recently, that aloe is a problem for Real Madrid but with Benzema back they have a better chance. The odds favor Madrid but we've seen how time and again how football can defy he odds. I don't think its going to be a game with many goals. Both teams will be careful so they don't make a mistake their opponent can capitalize on. In the last few matches the Madrid Derby has always been controlled by Real Madrid but now the conditions are a little difficult to predict because regardless of anything Atletico are still playing very well. But even then I will still be at Madrid in this game because they are clear favorites now. Hopefully the performance at Anfield against Liverpool will be a good provision for them. |

If it is Manchester City about England I have no doubts. It is other clubs in England that are in danger such as Chelsea who will find it difficult to defeat Dortmund in the second half. Another problem is Tottenham which is not doing well currently and then Liverpool who I consider already out of the tournament.
Even though wild possibilities can still occur, with the condition Liverpool are currently playing at Barnebeu and having to chase an aggregate of 3 goals this will obviously be very difficult to do. They are like dead now because regardless of their condition it is really very difficult to get up even if you see their performance in the first leg in the first round was very good in the early minutes but that is not a guarantee because Madrid is still Madrid. |

The Leipzig-Manchester City match is about to start and Manchester City are without their attack organizer in the KDB midfield which is indeed not in the line up as well as substitute players. Even though there are indeed a number of players who can replace this, I still think the impact will be there for them in the absence of this player as a regulator of attack and supply of passes for strikers.

How to make the game interesting?
Just play without goalkeepers, crazy 2-3 for Real Madrid, while Napoli is doing his job vs a weaker opponent.
Liverpool didn't live up to my expectations, and at the moment the score is 2-5 and the goals are 4 and 5 from Benzema in the 55th and 67th minutes. The match is still long in the second half it looks like Liverpool can still score goals, and so can Real Madrid but it looks like in the end the match will be won by Real Madrid. and for the Eintracht Frankfurt vs Napoli match at the moment Napoli is 0-2 and also dominates the game which is very far from Eintracht Frankfurt. Goal happened again and the score was 2-5 after Benzema managed to score a goal. Liverpool are increasingly losing focus now even though they have been very good in the first half, but for the second half they slowly lost momentum and their concentration is broken now after focusing on attack and leaving the defensive post. |

Valencia has been, historically, quite a good team, but this season they are struggling. They are the only team in La Liga which has lost the last 5 matches (and a draw in the 6th) so it is understandable that they are in the relegation. That means Valencia still have a chance to come back for the rest of the season, I don't think this is wrong. As a historically good team, Valecia doesn't deserve to be in the relegation zone this season. I know they have lost a lot of form, they lost 12 of 22 match this season and have only 20 points from 5 wins and 5 draws. Obviously not the best stats, but there is great hope they stay in La Liga next season. Like Sevilla, Valencia also has to move forward in the remainder of the season. They have hope in the remaining 16 matches to grab points and move to improve their ranking. Until week 22, I have not considered Valencia to be relegated this season. Problems from performance and exacerbated by the change of coach when they are not in good condition have thrown them even more now into the relegation zone but indeed as you say for the end of the season I think they will get out of this zone because it looks like the games are still quite long they were able to get out although in this case I dare not guarantee they are back in a proper position. |
