Of course we expect a better performance from Real Madrid. Real Madrid are a top level team in Europe and should have done better against Sevilla. In this match most of the gamblers bet big amount for Real Madrid because the result of this type of match is certain but we have to wait a long time for this result to come in favor of Real Madrid and for a time it seemed that Real Madrid might fail to win. The way Modric scored at the last minute reminded me of his performance in 2018. The kind of performance we saw from him in the 2018 World Cup, the kind of goal we saw the team need in 2024.
Personally, I was a little surprised by Sevilla, why they could play that well when facing Madrid, they could be in the top four of the standings if they played that well from the start of the season. But Madrid is still a different team, Ancelotti alwasy just had the wit to break the deadlock, an old man who relied on old players, the result did not disappoint the audience at all. Ramos was warmly welcomed by Los Blancos fans, he deserved respect as a legend, but could not make Sevilla steal points at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Maybe this is Modric last season with Los Blancos and the goal against Sevilla will always be remembered, a beautiful goal that helped Madrid comfortably at the top of the La Liga standings. if I remember correctly, the goal Modric scored against Sevilla was almost the same as the one he scored against Argentina in 2018. Now it quite reasonable why Ancelotti kept him even though he was 38 years old, there are certain moments that really require Modric, his leg magic is still very special.

Apart from all that, a narrow win is not a big problem, the most important thing is being able to pocket an additional 3 points. Barcelona and Girona are still pressing from the bottom, but we'll see what the final result of the Girona versus Rayo match is, whether Michel fleet is able to overtake Barcelona and move up to 2nd in today standings.

In my opinion, it is impossible for Juventus to chase Inter this season because Inter are ahead of Juventus by many points.
Yeah there points different is quite big for Juventus to meet, however one of the things that should also be considered is the performance because Juventus has not really been consistent this season that's why Inter Milan has gone this far, so perhaps considering Juventus performance now I seriously doubt if they can be able to compete with inter Milan in there league table because I'm not even sure if they can be able to win there next match against Napoli because for them to have lose there match against Udinese even when they were playing from there home I doubt if they will be able to beat Napoli because Napoli is even more better than Udinese in performance so let's see how the outcome will be but if Juventus failed to win the match it may likely affect there points.
This may be too early to say, in my opinion it can be said that Juventus will fail to win the Scudetto this season, it sounds a little bitter but that the fact. The difference in points between Juventus and Inter will widen again, after slaughtering Lecce yesterday, it is very likely that Inzaghi fleet will win again over Atalanta. On paper, Inter can win the postponed match, especially since they will act as hosts.

If Inzaghi fleet manages to get the full additional points, then Juventus will be 12 points behind Inter, in my opinion that is very difficult to overcome. There is a possibility that Inter will stumble in the remaining matches ahead, but it does not rule out the possibility that Juventus will experience the same thing. This means that even if Inter suffers a defeat, it is not certain that Juventus will always be consistent.

On the other hand, regarding the week 27 match between Juventus and Napoli, I think it is still difficult to predict, because Napoli must finish the postponed match against Sassuolo first. The change of coach in the Napoli camp has not had a significant impact, the two matches that Calzona has handled have ended in draws, in my opinion they will get maximum results when they face Sassuolo in the next two days. This match might be used as a reference to assess Napoli strength before facing Juventus later.

We have to admit that Bayern chances of retaining the Bundesliga trophy are currently very low, but Tuchel has a responsibility to ensure that his team does not go backwards again in the future. The victory over Leipzig has important meaning, where Bayern have succeeded in breaking the bad trend in their last three matches, Now Tuchel has succeeded in creating a turning point in their expected performance.

Unfortunately, Bayern management has made the decision that they will separate when the season ends with Tuchel, but I think that decision could change if Bayern succeeds in winning the Champions League trophy. of course I understand that to make this happen requires a lot of hard work and luck, but it is not an impossible thing for the German giant to do.

On the other hand, as a team that has been the ruler of the Bundesliga for more than a decade, it was a little strange when they ended the season empty handed, they failed in the German Super Cup, DFB Pokal. Bayern journey will probably be the same in the Bundesliga because Leverkusen is still very consistent, and their journey in the Champions League will be determined in the second leg against Lazio.

Chelsea was actually able to provide resistance to Liverpool, in fact Liverpool only won narrowly in this final match, it's just that luck was not on Chelsea's side and the result of the defeat experienced by Chelsea in this final match was very painful for the Chelsea squad and supporters, coupled with Chelsea's condition. Currently, it is very difficult for them to win, so it is very difficult for Chelsea fans to expect Chelsea to win the title even though this final match is below their caste, but to get the title this season is very difficult to see Chelsea's condition which is in eleventh place in the Premier League. this season..
If Chelsea played that well in the Premier League this season, it is certain that Pochettino fleet would not be in 11th place in the standings. It is true that the Blues were unlucky in the final minutes of the extra time match, but in my opinion both were equally good, the course of the match is difficult to describe in words. Of course losing in the final is very painful, but that's football where in the end there can only be one winner.

Pochettino must look forward and forget about this defeat, there are still more than 13 games left to play, and he is fully responsible for the fate of the team when the season ends. Chelsea still have hopes of going further in the FA Cup, even though they are not the favorites for this season. That is the remaining competition, where they still have a chance to win a trophy, in the EPL their fate is very tragic.

On the other hand, Klopp is certainly very happy with his team achievements, and this is a very important trophy to boost the team motivation, because they want to achieve bigger trophies, namely the Premier League and Europa League. I think if Klopp has a complete squad without any injured players, they have the strength to conquer all the challenges this season, their bargaining value is very high in every competition they participate in.

Too bad that the league is over already and that it doesn't really matter whether PSG loses or not. The biggest issue is that even if they lose this game, it would require another team to win like at least six or seven games in a row to have a chance to close the gap. PSG won't lose several games in a row, but it is as unlikely that any other team could win so many games in a row.

For Renne it would be three big points if they can maintain their lead and win the game as that would still keep them in the race for the Champions League qualification. It would make it four points and the teams ahead of them aren't brilliant either.
Victory was in sight, but Rennes failed to achieve it. PSG were awarded a penalty in the final minutes of the match, thus saving them from a humiliating defeat. The final score of 1-1 kept PSG comfortably at the top of the standings, although the result of this match was certainly very disappointing for Enrique fleet.

Rennes itself is experiencing an increase in performance in Ligue 1, and last week they managed to beat Milan in the Europa League play off round. However, luck seemed to be on their side only half way today. Goncalo Ramos managed to be the savior, and saved PSG at the Parc des Princes.

If they manage to get 3 points, Rennes can move up to 6th place, past Lens, and open up a big opportunity to finish in the Europa League zone. In fact, they still have the chance to finish in the top four of the standings, because they are only 5 points adrift of Nice, who are currently in fourth place.

Liverpool take the lead with a good header from Virgil Vajk on th last minutes of 120 minutes, after he received a corner kick. This is the second time that he scored with a header, but the first goal was disallowed by VAR because Gakpo was on offside. Liverpool has won Chelsea three times finals in two years. The Dutch international has made his club proud by scoring at the very right time that a goal was needed to win the finals. This is a remarkable moment for Liverpool, and everybody, the players, fans, and coach are happy for this great achievement.

Chelsea 0-1 Liverpool
The first trophy before Klopp parted ways, the captain managed to become the hero of victory for Liverpool. A very dramatic match, draining the players energy with high intensity, for the umpteenth time Chelsea had to bend the knee to the Reds. Klopp managed to experiment even though several key players were absent, proving that he is a figure who is very difficult to find a replacement for. The victory was narrow but means a lot for Klopp fleet, the Carabao Cup trophy has been won, just waiting for the EPL and Europa League trophies in the future. Pochettino has failed to take Chelsea in the direction he expected, and it is certain that the Blues will end this season with a title drought. Pochettino first season has failed, if he is not fired he can try again next season.

Napoli's nightmare continues. Draw 1-1 with Genoa, now today it’s 1-1 again, and these are exactly the games where Napoli should take 3 points. I'm surprised that Napoli drew with Barcelona and lost to Milan only 0-1. If they are not able to confidently beat an outsider, then those results should be considered rather successful. An unpleasant section of the calendar awaits Napoli - first, a trip to Sassuolo (here they definitely need to take 3 points because there will be few opportunities further) and then a series of games with strong opponents.
It was very surprising when Napoli seemed to have difficulty stealing points at Cagliari headquarters, where the match should have been won easily by Osimhen and colleagues. We know that Cagliari is a team in the degradation  zone, but Napoli failed to take advantage of the opportunity to get an additional 3 points.

Changes to the manager position have been made again, but they have not been able to improve the team performance, Napoli is stuck in 9th place in the standings with 37 points. It's possible that they will decline further and fall out of the top 10, and management will appoint a new head coach again for the umpteenth time.

Sassuolo, Juventus, Torino, Barcelona and Inter are Napoli next opponents, most likely the Calzona fleet will continue to have nightmares. The defending champions experienced a very significant decline in performance, they failed to meet fans expectations of being able to compete again as title contenders.

People once again praised Harry Kane's great performance in last night's match after helping Bayern Munich secure victory at home with the brace he scored against Leipzig. Initially, it was quite doubtful to see Bayern Munich having so much trouble against Leipzig, even though if you look at the meeting as a whole, Bayern Munich can always dominate the results with a landslide victory.

But what we saw last night makes us know that Bayern Munich are not in good condition after the two consecutive defeats they received and they have to try their best to secure 3 points at home. Luckily they have a great striker who they managed to recruit last summer and he became the hero in this match. Harry Kane has currently collected 27 with Bayern Munich and it is certain that he will be the Bundesliga's top scorer this season.
Kane succeeded in answering expectations for him, the high price paid by Bayern to Tottenham was not in vain, because Kane managed to do his job well. It's just that Bayern are unlucky in the hunt for trophies, Kane has proven his sharpness on the front lines, his two goals against Leipzig are proof that he can be the difference in the outcome of the match.

If Bayern fails to win a trophy, then Kane will always be associated with "curse" words, even though I think that is irrelevant. Maybe the title of top scorer can cheer him up, and I think it will be difficult for other players to surpass the number of goals Kane has scored this season. The Bundesliga still has 10 games left, Kane goal tally will continue to increase and could possibly reach 35 goals in his first season.

Due to this victory, Bayern have now regained confidence, and Tuchel fleet must look forward even though their chances are now increasingly low. Kane has helped Bayern with his best performances, but he cannot carry the team alone to always win. I think next season Kane can win a trophy with Bayern.

What happened in the Bundesliga put the Bayern team in serious trouble and this will have an impact on the team's performance so Lazio can take advantage of this in the first leg to steal important points at home to Bayern.
The possibility of a second leg in the future is still wide open for Bayern, but I am quite pessimistic after seeing Bayern's performance at the moment, they are really not at their best and also the second leg will be played at home to Lazio so this will be very difficult. for Bayern.

Yesterday, Bayern only needed a victory (as in the case with Lazio, where Bayern needed at least a minimal victory in order not to be eliminated immediately but to send the game to extra time) and they were able to achieve it barely in stoppage time. It seems to me that Lazio and Leipzig are quite comparable in strength and the fact that Bayern is playing without any margin of safety is alarming. I don’t want to believe that they will be eliminated in the 1/8 finals, but in any case, they are now in no condition to compete with Real or City.
That is a bitter fact but it is true, with a series of disappointing results, Bayern can no longer be compared to Madrid and Man City as the favorite team to win. I think even though Bayern can turn things around in the second leg, their strength will still be in doubt in the quarter finals, regardless of who their potential opponents will be there.

It also doesn't rule out the possibility that Bayern could also be eliminated by Lazio, when you look at the strength of Leipzig and Lazio are not much different, we also haven't forgotten that Bochum is able to beat those who in fact have much lower strength than Lazio. On paper, the 1-0 deficit is still very possible to overcome, but it all depends on Tuchel strategy.

Bayern hopes of winning the Champions League this season are on the uphill road, even though they went smoothly without defeat in the previous group stage, everything went wrong in a short time. As a coach who has experience winning UCL trophies, Tuchel definitely has a way to get the best results, but in my opinion they will only get to the semi finals.

Real Madrid vs Sevilla is one of the highlights of today's match schedule. Real Madrid lost very important points away to Rayo Vallecano last week. They still lead the league by 5 points, but the points they lost against Rayo Vallecano shocked everyone. On the other hand, Sevilla have had good stability in recent weeks. They have 2 wins and 2 draws in their last 4 league games. They were close to the relegation zone but with good results, they have moved away from the relegation zone. Real Madrid are favorites in this match but I will not bet on this match.
I think Madrid will try to win and secure full points after last season their efforts were thwarted by Rayo. There is no doubt that Ancelotti fleet can do it today, although Sevilla have now improved slightly from the first half of the season. I don't think Sevilla can beat Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, the best possible result for Sevilla is a draw.

Ancelotti will definitely field his best squad to avoid big risks, although now he is being asked to experiment again with the available squad, because some of his players are still injured and some have received card accumulation sanctions. If Madrid is successful, the points gap will be wider with Barcelona and Girona.

However, there is something interesting in this match, where Ramos will return to play at Santiago Bernabeu but as an opponent. This will be a match that will attract the attention of the audience, especially those in the stadium. Ramos is a legend, he deserves respect even though he is now playing for Sevilla.

To be honest, a lot of people thought Manchester United would defeat Fulham, but they played so poorly that it was not possible. It was a huge letdown since even the Manchester United supporters were furious with the way their team played so badly this season. I don't even think their performance is improving again; it has simply gotten worse at every turn.

But one thing I they always look about Manchester United's performance is that they have just been pushing forward and back, because if we look at their prior matches against certain clubs, we can see that they strive as much as they can to enhance their performance. However, when faced with a small team that everyone expects to perform well, Manchester United will fall behind and lose to a little team.

Previously I also thought Man United could secure full points over Fulham, but in fact they failed again, the pain occurred at Old Trafford. Ten Hag and his fleet have once again become the talk of the town and the target of criticism, they wasted the opportunity to get close to the Champions League zone. Fulham is a lucky team, breaking the positive trend of the Red Devils that Ten Hag worked so hard to fight for.

All sins are now brought up again, including the sins of Ten Hag and Onana. I don't think we should expect too much from United this season, and we shouldn't be too harsh on them either. Ups and downs in performance are a normal period, not always a team will be at its best, today Fulham massacre was United 10th defeat so far.

Hojlund's absence makes United feel less sharp up front, the former Atalanta man was on fire, it was a shame he was injured. Rashford failed to act as number 9, I think Maguire was better than Rahsford, but Maguire also failed quickly to prevent Fulham second goal.

From what I see, several teams still have opportunities because in terms of quality, several teams are quite strong. Fenerbahce, Fiorentina also cannot be underestimated because they also have the ambition to reach the final in the European conference league. But for that reason, Aston Villa performance may be better than other teams because Aston Villa managed to cause many surprises in the domestic league and I think they deserve to be a strong candidate to win the title.

Apart from that, Aston Villa also has a strong opponent because they will face Ajax in the round of 16. Meanwhile, Fiorentina will face Maccabi Haifa. Well, in my opinion, Fiorentina opponent is also quite strong because Maccabi currently leads the standings in their domestic league. For this reason, several strong teams need to struggle to be able to beat their opponents in the round of 16.
It is true, the challenges that each contestant will face are very different, because most of them rarely meet each other. I mean, it will be difficult for them to measure the strength of their opponents because they rarely compete against each other intensely, unlike in their respective domestic competitions. I chose Aston Villa for several reasons, one of them including their consistency in the Premier League. Of course I don't intend to underestimate other teams, we really understand that surprises can happen and the favorite team can be eliminated early.

I agree with Fiorentina, the Serie A representatives were finalists last season and I think they also deserve to be included in the list of favorite teams. Apart from all that, every fan definitely has their own favorite team, and has a method of assessing which team has the potential to become champion. Currently the European Conference League is still in the last 16 stage, meaning there are several more rounds to see who will be the champion at the end of the competition.

Is Ten Hag still going to be the coach of Man Utd? Undecided

I don't understand, Why is the Manchester United authority so hellbent on keeping Ten Hag as the coach of Man utd?

They definitely can get a better coach in my opinion. And they should also understand that there are a lot of players that are having problems with him. If only one player had problems with him, it was okay but now it seems like a lot of players have problems with him. First Ronaldo and now we see a lot of players are trying to leave willingly. Their forcing Ronaldo out should have been the first red flag.
No doubt, Erik ten Hag faced internal problem with several players since becoming Manchester United manager, last season Cristiano Ronaldo had leaves Manchester United after facing problem with Erik ten Hag and he got difficult to be regular players. The same face by Jadon Sancho and he must acceptable Dortmund offering after Erik ten Hag sent him out from main squad and played few matches only in the first half of Premier League season.
Its questionable must answer by Manchester United's management why keep defend Erik ten Has as manager although had bad performed from Manchester United eliminated in Champion League group phase and current standings in domestic league still outside from top fourth with potential absent for playing in Champion League competition next season.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe now has the authority and capacity to fire Ten Hag. It is possible that Ten Hag will be retained until the end of the season, to minimize the risk of a much bigger setback for the team. It is true, Ten Hag is reported to have a less than harmonious relationship with some of his key players in the dressing room, perhaps because his tough and very disciplined coaching style is not liked by some United players.

The ups and downs in The Red Devils performance this season have been very noticeable, the failure in the Champions League group phase is one proof of this, and in the Premier League itself United is also having difficulty breaking into the top four of the standings. it is very likely that United will let Ten Hag leave when the season ends. It could be too that Ten Hag will be sacked before the season ends, everything really depends on United current Big Boss Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

In fact, both teams could have learned from the first leg to make a better game in the second leg, but because Barcelona was playing at home. Of course Barcelona is more favored in the second leg, but everyone also needs to see what improvements Barcelona can bring in the second leg because Napoli also has the capital to be superior in the second leg so Barcelona must be more careful in the second leg if they want to qualify for the next round.

Regarding Napoli who failed to maximize the first leg because they played at home, for me that was a normal result and there was no oddity whatsoever. Because after all, a draw is still a good result for Napoli because yes, in the predictions at least Napoli is quite doubtful and is predicted to lose . But yes, in reality Napoli managed to score an equalizer after conceding first in the 60th minute and in this way, Napoli managed to get a good result in this match. Because yes, considering Napoli's quality and performance at this moment, I don't think there is a good chance for Napoli and I am sure that Barcelona will still qualify anyway.
If Barcelona fails to anticipate Osimhen movements in the second Leg, they could be eliminated by Napoli. even though on paper Barcelona chances are quite big, Napoli are now getting an imotivational boost after changing coaches, and it is possible that the match will end in a draw and will continue with a penalty shootout.

There are several matches that must be completed first in their respective domestic Leagues, and we can see how much consistent Barcelona and Napoli are ahead of the second Leg. Another challenge that both teams may face is injury, both Xavi and Calzona must minimize this because it really affects their chances of qualifying for the quarter finals.

In reality, Barcelona has a much better history than Napoli in the Champions League, but now this can no longer be used as a reference in looking at future opportunities. I predict that the future matches will be very careful, Xavi must experiment to make his defense line more solid, it will be useless to score goals if his defense line is porous.

Let's make it clear which clubs that potentially owning europa league this season.

I personally divided it into some tiers.

Highest potential

Leverkusen
Liverpool

Mid potential.

Acmilan
Roma
Atalanta
Westham

Lowest potential

Benfica
Duo praha
brighton

I don't even think the rest have bigger chance than lowest potential to get the trophy this season. It semed to me that if there will be very strict competition to get into the right score. We have experienced many troubles and i think that if some clubs will be fully dominating the competition.

Leverkusen is still unbeatable in the bundesliga and this is a sense reason to put this club as highest potential along with liverpool which is also still competing at the top of european competition (EPL).

Others may have different opinion and im very welcome with it. Levrkusen is really convincing me to think it will be winning europa league.
You shared it wisely, I completely agree with the choice you made. For Leverkusen, Xabi fleet is currently the only team untouched by defeat in Europe top five leagues, placing them at the top of the list is a must. Even though Liverpool have experienced defeats, maybe I would put the two teams on an equal footing, because we have to assess the competitive level of their domestic league too.

Overall, there is no guarantee that the final scenario will be like the initial prediction, it could be that everything changes drastically and so on. Milan cannot be completely trusted, their performance this season is very difficult to predict, and it would be very risky to bet on every match they play, I think they deserve to be below Leverkusen and Liverpool.

Don't think too confidently about being able to bring PSG to win the UCL title this season, because PSG is not quite ready to reach the UCL final this season, even though they can get rid of Real Sociedad, that doesn't mean they will stop there, they will meet the strongest clubs from other Europe which of course have strong above PSG or equal to PSG, I think at least Mbappe is trying hard to get the best results in the UCL this season, at least apart from winning the Ligue 1 title, at least being able to reach the UCL final is something to be proud of.

Mbappe has to give his best performance before leaving PSG and of course he has to play more than usual to be able to produce good results, as he was able to bring France to the world cup final, so far Mbappe has the ability to attack so he can be relied on to score goals, that's what which he should do when facing each of their opponents in the UCL, it looks like they will eliminate Real Sociedad in the round of 16 and PSG must prepare themselves to face another great club after Sociedad.
Who knows, PSG will be lucky to win the Champions League trophy this season, even though we know their chances are very low, in football there is always room for surprises. It's true, this is Mbappe last season at PSG, of course Enrique will hope a lot for Mbappe help on the front lines, he is a player who can make a difference in the outcome of the match. It looks like they will win the second leg against Sociedad, most recently Sociedad also suffered defeat in La Liga.

Enrique can be very comfortable shifting PSG focus to the Champions League, without worrying that their position will be overtaken by their closest competitors in Ligue 1, because the current point gap is very difficult for Brest, Nice and Lille to catch up. As we know, in terms of depth the PSG squad actually has the same bargaining value as the favorite teams, they are eligible to challenge for the trophy, it's just that they haven't been lucky, Enrique will try his best this season.

I think Xabi's dedication to Leverkusen goes beyond his resume. Its about legacy. Barcelona and Bayern may offer attractive deals, but Alonso seems to prioritize growth above glitz. You know what? Very rare and admirable.
I thought yesterday that they only will be playing a draw against Mainz after i have seen the halftime result.
But they managed it to get the win out of this game for what i am happy as my bet was right then.
About Xabi's dedication to Leverkusen lets see what he will be doing when the season is over , if he stays another season there yeah that would be rare.
I think he will be doing that.
Xabi Alonso must be able to suppress all rumors regarding his future, so as not to disturb their focus on tasting the Bundesliga trophy. Bayern interest in Xabi is understandable, regardless of his decision later, however, currently these rumors can disturb the focus of the Leverkusen players. For now, Xabi has emphasized that this is not the right time to talk about the future.

The Bundesliga still has 11 matches remaining, the Europa League is only in the last 16 stage, and the DFB Pokal is still in the semifinal stage, Xabi wants to lock up these trophies one by one first, as proof that he is worthy of managing a much bigger club. I think the interest of big clubs really depends on Xabi success in winning trophies, what is clear is that Leverkusen is now one step closer to winning the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal trophies.

If Ancelotti does not renew his contract at Madrid, perhaps not only Bayern and Liverpool will be interested in signing Xabi next season. I also hope that Xabi can stay with Leverkusen next season, even though later he will receive tempting offers from big European clubs.

Sassuollo is the only team that managed to beat Inter Milan surprisingly this season, now their fate is very tragic after suffering another defeat to Empoli with a score of 3-2. Sassuollo is now ranked 17th in the Serie A standings, one level above the degradation zone, and has only been able to collect 20 points from the 25 matches he has played. I think if he doesn't get up soon, Sassuollo will fall into the red zone.

If you look at the match statistics, Empoli managed to achieve a dramatic victory in the 90+4 minutes, which made Sassuollo suffer even more. If Cagliari can create a miracle when facing Napoli, then Sassuollo will automatically languish in the degradation zone. A situation that must be taken very seriously, because there are fewer matches left in the future.

There is no doubt about it...,Girona sitting on the 2nd position is just for the main time. As they are not really met to be in that position with their current form. I got disappointed in them ever since they played with Real Madrid. I know they may not be able to win real Madrid or hold draw against them but I never expect such a great defeat without even attend to score a goal.

What they've done this year has been extraordinary, but let's face it, it's highly unlikely that they'll end up as champions. I'd like to thank Girona for the excitement they've given us so far. There's no point being hard on them. It takes experience to compete here. They are not fighting for the title as their manager says, even if they finish in the top 3 it will be a historic achievement for them.

Barcelona are playing for second place. I'm sure they'll beat Getafe this time and get the three points. I have no doubts after seeing the announced line-ups.
That right, Girona is one of the La Liga clubs attracts all of our attention, their consistency in competing with the three La Liga rulers deserves appreciation, Michel cool hands worked well in polishing Girona. Qualifying for the Champions League next season is a big achievement, even though I had time to think they had the potential to create history like the story of Leicester City in the Premier League.

Last season Girona finished in 10th place in the standings with 49 points in 38 matches, currently Girona has managed to collect 56 points from 25 matches, I think this number will continue to increase in the remaining 13 matches in the future. Girona will face Rayo this week, Michel must work hard to create a turning point in performance, if successful they can maintain their position in 2nd place in the standings.

Regarding the match between Barcelona and Getafe, Xavi fleet is currently leading 1-0 thanks to a goal from Raphinha in the 20th minute. I think Barcelona will secure full points, but they must be able to maintain their lead with full concentration, overall Barcelona dictates the course of the match, and I think Getafe will have difficulty chasing a draw.

with a clean total of 12 remaining matches for Liverpool and 13 for Man City and Arsenal, it is true that the League is still very, very open. All the top 3 candidates  can still steal points from each other and take advantage of the remaining situation. Liverpool has a 6 point lead while at that time the players have not  yet returned to their full composition. Man City and Arsenal are clearly in  complete formation and are able to increase their advantage in every match.

meanwhile what I pay most attention to is Aston Villa, Tottenham and Man United, all three of whom need to try harder to take 1 UCL seat. For me, this is much more  difficult to predict but the candidate with rising  productivity is Man United.
All possibilities are still very open, with their respective ambitions and the challenges they will face in the future, there is a possibility that the three teams will swap positions. It is still too early to guess who will be champions at the end of the season, Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal will try their best to finish in first place when the season ends. Meanwhile, Aston Villa, Tottenham and Man United will compete for the remaining tickets to UCL.

This week there are no big matches that attract attention, the match between Chelsea versus Tottenham has been postponed. It is possible that Man United will temporarily rise to fifth place in the standings, currently the Ten Hag fleet is hosting Fulham, the score is still 0-0. I predict The Red Devils will secure full points, it would be a shame to lose at Old Trafford.

Aston Villa itself is currently hosting Nottingham Forest, Unay Emery fleet is currently leading with a score of 1-0, it looks like there will be lots of goals scored in this match. If successful, Aston Villa will confirm its position in the top four of the standings. Let's see how changes in the top five standings will occur, Man City and Arsenal will compete in the next few hours, if both of them lose points then Liverpool will be at a big advantage.
