In fact, Sevilla's performance was good but not well enough to beat a strong team like Manchester United, they focused on this match because the Europa League in their only hope but I think the reason why they won the game was the bad performance of Manchester United against them that's why if Juventus don't do the same mistake they won't have a hard day against Sevilla.
I think Juventus are well aware of that at this point because they are already in the semifinals of the Europa League this season so it will be very detrimental if Juventus are not focused and consistent to win and go to the final. Because if for example Juventus can make it to the Europa League final this season, Juventus will also not face such a strong team in the final because AS Roma and Leverkusen are also teams whose performances have been mediocre this season. Even though Juventus made it to the semifinals, that doesn't mean Juventus have the good ability to reach the final and win the title, because in reality so far this season Juventus has looked very unstable so that the chance for Juventus to reach the final and win the title remains a low chance. Besides that, I don't agree when you say Bayer Leverkusen have had a mediocre performance this season. Because Bayer Leverkusen made a very extraordinary improvement in the Bundesliga and also in the Europa League of course and because of that, Bayer Leverkusen also has a good chance to reach the final and also a good chance to win the Europa League title this season. |

There is no point in thinking anything else about PSG in League One. Because the PSG team was and will be the best in Ligue 1. Because the other teams in Ligue 1 are not highly qualified to beat PSG and clinch the title.
PSG is having big gap to the second position in league 1. No chance for the club like lille or lens to take over the position that owned by PSG right now. Some players were contributing a lot to the PSG until it was able reaching this position again. Technically, PSG already won the title right now. I think that PSG needs to rebuild its club again for the next season. PSG will be losing some important players. It's the time for PSG to use its money to buy another star after neymar and messi will be leaving soon. PSG has bad performance this season except in the domestic league caused by it was winning a trophy. Whether it's true or not Neymar and Messi will definitely leave at the end of this season, because I think if Neymar and Messi leave then it's very likely that Mbappe will also leave. A team like Real Madrid can of course still pay Mbappe handsomely but yes, apart from that basically Mbappe does not have the desire to play at PSG forever. Also, if next season PSG recruits a new coach then of course, a major overhaul will be carried out because this season even though PSG won the Ligue 1 title, but the reality is that PSG is still very bad. Because PSG not only failed in the Champions League, but PSG also failed in the Coupe de France which proves that PSG are still very bad at this moment. |

The records in head to head prove that Manchester City has a good dominance of wins when Manchester City plays against Arsenal. Also, while Arsenal's performance is on a good trend but Manchester City can still beat Arsenal and even, in this season Arsenal really can't beat Manchester City whether it's a match in the English Premier League and also a match in the FA Cup.
What's more, this time Manchester City will play at home, and of course it will be a difficult job for Arsenal to hold Manchester City to a draw. Well, a draw could be the best result for Arsenal in this match but unfortunately, I personally don't really believe Arsenal can hold Manchester City to a draw. Because after all, Manchester City will certainly target three points which will make it difficult for Arsenal to hold Manchester City.

Inter are the favorites in today's second leg semi-final match in the Coppa Italia against Juventus, but in my opinion there is no strong guarantee that Inter can beat Juventus. Yes indeed, Inter will play at home but in reality, Inter also still have difficult opponents in Serie A because Inter will play against Lazio.
Because in this second leg if Inter want to qualify for the Coppa Italia final, then of course Inter are required to win which seems like it is still a difficult task. But yes, even though I don't think it's easy for Inter to win, but I also don't fully say that Juventus will win. Because after all, Inter and Juventus are rivals, of course the two of them will make great efforts to be able to win in this match.

Juventus are seen as the biggest title contender for now according to bookmakers. However I have doubts about this situation. Because if you have noticed as well they haven't been showing a very high level of performance. We can take their Sporting matchup as an example. I know that Sporting did a solid work against Arsenal too but this still can't be an excuse for a team like Juventus.
Juventus needed to play better than this to increase their chance against Sporting. They still eliminated them anyway maybe but the performance in both legs was not much impressive. While Sevilla are in good shape Juventus' job about holding them off won't be easy at all. For now I don't consider Juventus as the biggest title contender.
Is it just that Juventus cannot win with a big score when Juventus play against Sporting, that makes Juventus unfit to be a candidate for the title? If that's a consideration for you, then I think that's a funny assessment. Because even though Juventus only won narrowly in the first leg with a score of 1-0 and then, in the second leg Juventus only drew with a score of 1-1, of course it would not make Juventus easily beaten by Sevilla. But indeed, any result can still happen but for me, Juventus still have a chance to win the title. Instead of being Sevilla as a title candidate team, I personally would consider Bayer Leverkusen more because Bayer Leverkusen is experiencing a tremendous improvement in the Bundesliga. |

The last time these two teams faced in Bundesliga, Leverkusen won the game with a 5-0 result which is amazing for any team but this time Unioin Berlin should get a better result if they want to stay at the top of the table otherwise they can lose their place soon in a few weeks, in the other hand Leverkusen is trying hard to get itself in top of the table and take the ticket for the next champions league.
Leverkusen is still a little behind to reach a place or position that can give it a ticket to the Champions League. Because Leverkusen are eight points behind Union Berlin and thirteen points from Dortmund, who are currently at the top of the Bundesliga standings. This means that Leverkusen can only take a place in Frankfurt's current position if Leverkusen is able to beat Union Berlin at Alte Foersterei which is the home of Union Berlin which will be used for their match this time. If I consider the extraordinary increase in Bayer Leverkusen, it seems that Bayer Leverkusen can finish in the top four at least it is still possible to happen. Because, something that seems illogical but sometimes can become a reality which of course will be a big success for Bayer Leverkusen. But yes, even though Bayer Leverkusen failed to finish in the top four, basically it's not a problem because yes, I'm sure Bayer Leverkusen never targeted to finish in the top four. But, because at this moment Bayer Leverkusen has the chance to continue to improve, then of course Xabi Alonso will continue to do his best so that Bayer Leverkusen can get a Champions League ticket for next season. |

Real Madrid's semi-final first leg against Manchester City is getting closer in a few weeks, but Real Madrid has not been consistent in their domestic league. Actually I'm not surprised by the poor results for Real Madrid in the domestic league, it's just that it could be a problem if they make a mistake against Manchester City later. Moreover, they will host the first leg, they must first target victory at home before playing the second leg away at the Etihad Stadium later.
For manchester city they are very consistent in all competitions and they are in very good form this season. Even so, I still hope that Real Madrid will surprise the champions league, especially de javu like last season, it will really surprise everyone if Real Madrid can get rid of Manchester City again.
Well, in fact at the same time when Real Madrid lost in the domestic league they said about Real Madrid prioritizing the Champions League. But on the other hand, you and maybe some other people say that bad results in the domestic league can be a concern for Real Madrid in the Champions League. Those are two different sides and meanwhile, if Real Madrid really prioritizes the Champions League and lets lose in the domestic league. So, isn't losing in the domestic league a great way for Real Madrid to play in the Champions League? Because, with Real Madrid's defeat in the domestic league, it shows that Real Madrid is preparing a fit team to play in the Champions League.  |

Aston Villa's success in beating Fulham gave Unai Emery a good success, because the victory in the match against Fulham became Aston Villa's 10th match without defeat. Honestly, it's a really great achievement and if I consider what Aston Villa is capable of on paper, at least it's difficult for Aston Villa to continue to improve its position. Because previously, Aston Villa threatened to be in the relegation zone but the right move was Aston Villa to fire Gerrard and replace him with Unai Emery. Who would have thought, at the beginning of the season Aston Villa was so close to the relegation zone, but currently Aston Villa is in fifth place in the Premier League standings.  |

PSG has been performing well with out the messi you are talking about and even Barcelona is currently doing well without messi and I still believe that PSG is still going to perform well without him if he eventually decides to leave the club, messi playing days are limited and its even best for the club to look for younger reliable player with lots of playing days.
Indeed before they looked like that, but it seems that has changed. Messi became a key player alongside Neymar and Mbaape. When one of them is not playing then they will look very different. Their game doesn't seem good. But of course Messi's departure will not be a problem, maybe they will make a lot of profit. In addition, Messi's age is not young anymore. Messi won't last long, maybe a year or two. But if I was Xavi I wouldn't take him, if the desired salary was too big. It's funny, when there are people who only complain about problems that only happen to one player, meanwhile in a team there are many players who certainly can't just blame only one player. Also, I wonder because he said about, Barcelona is currently doing fine without Messi. Hey, do you remember how devastated Barcelona was after Messi left and before Xavi became Barcelona coach? lol! After all, every player will have a time to end, but that doesn't mean Messi is the cause of PSG's failure in the Champions League. Because, if Messi causes PSG to be destroyed, then PSG will not be at the top of the Ligue 1 standings. Therefore, Messi is not a player who can be completely blamed, but if they only blame Messi then to be honest, they are more pro towards Ronaldo and hate Messi. |

Real Madrid puts the Champions League as a priority, of course, because it is no longer possible to compete with Barcelona this season. Perhaps for Real Madrid it does not really matter where they end up this season. The main thing is that they will get to the Champions League next season in any case. They also have a game in the Spanish Cup final against Osasuna where they should also take first place.
The steps taken by Real Madrid are actually very correct by not focusing too much on La Liga for the rest of this season because they realize that they still have several other crucial matches in other competitions so they prefer not to burden themselves too much in chasing Barcelona in La Liga. Currently Real Madrid is chasing the Copa Del Rey trophy and also the UCL trophy so they have to be really ready for that. For me, it's not about prioritizing other tournaments and not about catching Barcelona and then Real Madrid being so weak in La Liga. To be honest, if Real Madrid loses, let's accept the defeat and not seek self-defense by prioritizing other tournaments, so when Real Madrid loses, I think I admit Real Madrid was bad in that match because Real Madrid lost badly by a mediocre team. But indeed, I also understand that there are other tournaments where Real Madrid must put a high focus on the Copa del Rey and also on the Champions League. But with Real Madrid still having another focus besides La Liga, this shouldn't make Real Madrid so weak and lose so embarrassingly in La Liga. |

Well, so far Wolves have been able to dominate the match and I think Wolves should have continued to improve. Because when Wolves were in the relegation zone, but I still consider Wolves to have a good performance with strong gameplay in every position.
Therefore, I personally have no doubts about choosing Wolves in this home game against Crystal Palace. Although indeed, in five head to head matches it showed that Crystal Palace had good results and also, at this moment Crystal Palace's position in the standings is above Wolves. But for me personally, this is not important, because when Wolves can still play with strong gameplay then of course Wolves will always have the chance to get points in matches.

Juventus is not in good performance in Italian league, but in Europa league Juventus is focusing in Europa league, Juventus had serious challenge in their performance in Italian League in the early time of the season. Juventus are currently in their best form and this could be a hindrance for the Mendilibar squad if they don't implement a good strategy to be able to bring Juventus home. Juventus have two targets this season, namely winning the Europa league and securing a Champions League slot next season.
I think Sevilla are a good match for Juventus, If Manchester United had beaten Sevilla they wouldn't pose much of a threat to Juventus as much as Sevilla would and since they have a good record competing in this competition they will have some advantage, they have done it in the past we shall see if they can do again this time. If Juventus can win the Europa League title this season, then Juventus will not have to work hard to secure a Champions League ticket in the Serie A standings. Because, if Juventus win the Europa League title, Juventus will automatically get a place in the Champions League next season. But yes, apart from that Juventus does look more focused on the Europa League, moreover the opponent is Sevilla which I think of course Sevilla has good capabilities in the Europa League. Therefore, Juventus faces a difficult challenge at this moment, because a team on the rise like Manchester United has also failed to beat Sevilla. So yes, I'm sure Juventus will still not be easy to beat Sevilla, but for Sevilla it looks like they have good luck in the Europa League so any result can still happen in this match. |

Girona managed to get his first goal in the 12th minute and it seems that Girona has a chance to get three points in this match. Indeed, the opponent is Real Madrid, which is always seen as perfect by most people, but the fact is, in several matches when Girona played against Real Madrid, the reality is that Girona can sometimes beat Real Madrid.
At this time the score was 2-0 and Taty Castellanos managed to score two quick goals in this match, surely it was an impressive performance because the opponent is the king of Europe. If Girona can maintain the victory it has now, then of course Girona will be very safe to be in the middle of the standings until the end of the season.

This victory is also a good record for Union Berlin by getting 3 wins from the last 5 matches they have played. Union Berlin's position is also still quite safe, but for this week they must try to get another win if they don't want Freiburg to shift its position in the standings.
The victory of Union Berlin was very important. They did not win three games before that game. But the next game will be very difficult for them. They will play against Leverkusen and Leverkusen has finally reached an international position in the table. Both teams are closely followed by Freiburg and Mainz. Mainz have not lost since 10 matchdays and are playing good football. The loser from the match Union - Leverkusen will surely slip down one place in the table. In fact, it is never easy for Monchengladbach to get points when Monchengladbach plays against Union Berlin. So the victory for Union Berlin with a narrow score of 0-1 is a victory on paper. But yes, Union Berlin's trend at that moment was also not very good, because Union Berlin still hasn't fully won consistent wins. But yes, for the next match even though Union Berlin is playing at home, but the next match will still not be easy for Union Berlin because the opponent is Bayer Leverkusen. Because in reality, at this moment Bayer Leverkusen is on a very good trend because Bayer Leverkusen managed to go through 13 matches without defeat, 8 matches in the Bundesliga and 5 matches in the European League. With this very good trend, then of course Bayer Leverkusen will still have the chance to get points in the match against Union Berlin, because Bayer Leverkusen still has the chance to end the match with a win or only a draw. |

Benzema is even better compared with haaland. If we are seeing based on the history and benzema has ever won ballon d'or as the best striker. It's not only benzema. You shall remember that if there are so many players in madrid who have same capability to make the goals. Valverde, rodrygo, Vini and many more. I remember when rodrygo was destroying manchester city last season by creating comeback against real madrid. Manchester city is strong but im thinking now if real madrid is in another level compared with manchester city. The consistency of real madrid is also very good at this moment. Madrid has won a trophy and it may increase as madrid become even closer to the copa del rey and UCL. Glad to see that if bookies were favoring city instead of real madrid.
That makes me feel so good with
If both Man City and Real Madrid are at their best then I'm afraid, Man City is winning the tie. Man City's best is better than Real Madrid's best. Man City on their best can beat any team. The treat Real Madrid pose most is not their current form or their players, its how effective they are in the Champions league and logically speaking, you can't use that to judge the outcome of a match because its not everything it works. If that always works them Madrid would have won the champions league every year. On paper and based on current form, Man City is the favorites but we know the favorite doesn't always win the champions league. If he chooses Real Madrid in the bet, let it happen, because we also have many choices in betting, of course they can be free to choose whichever team will win in this match. But there is one thing that I want to convey, that Benzema and Haaland cannot be used as a comparison regarding the achievement of getting the Ballon d'or, because their ages are also very different. If you want to judge achievements, then comparisons have to be age-appropriate as well, because it's impossible for a young player to win the Ballon d'or. Also, I think when in the past Benzema was as old as Haaland is now, I believe Benzema hasn't achieved much. Meanwhile, Haaland at this moment has at least scored many goals, including the hat-trick that Haaland often manages to score. Therefore, if at this moment you compare Benzema with Haaland, then of course Haaland is still better. But if you compare the ballon d'or, then it's an unequal comparison, because for Benzema himself it took a very long time to get the ballon d'or and it wasn't achieved at a young age, right. |

Basically, AS Roma managed to dominate the match but unfortunately, AS Roma didn't have many shots on target and this made AS Roma unable to convert opportunities into goals. Meanwhile, if I only consider the total statistics available, at least AS Roma still have a chance to get points in this match but AS Roma is having unavoidable bad luck.
With results like these, then of course AS Roma still doesn't promise to get a Champions League ticket for next season. Because Juventus returned to the top four, at least this incident made AS Roma still have to compete at least with Milan for fourth place. But yes, because in my view AS Roma is never easy to be consistent. So, the chance for AS Roma to be able to finish in the top four, I think the chance that AS Roma has is very low because at the same time Milan at this moment seems to have an ever-increasing performance.

Betis vs sociedad will be an interesting game tomorrow since betis are fifth and sociedad are fourth which will make it a golden opportunity for betis to close the gap, but it will be tough for them to win the game not because of how strong are sociedad but how poorly betis team is performing recently they are unpredictible and they are conceiding too much goals recently but maybe the importance of the game will motivate the players.
This game will be very interesting, but I think Real Betis are stronger than Real Sociedad given the way both teams have played against Real Madrid this season. I believe the both will play well but Real Betis can win today's game because both teams will be serious. Real Betis are fighting against Real Sociedad to get their top 4 position and Real Sociedad will be defending to not let them lose the top 4 position. I didn't foresee the outcome of the game, Real Betis' performance gave me the impression that they would not let Real Sociedad win because they are very strong and play defensive games. They will be fighting for a place in the Champions League next year, so the outcome of this match may be decisive. IMO, Real Sociedad has had a very good luck since the World Cup of Qatar, but chances are that we will see a regression to the media and, in consequence, they won't be able to stick to the fourth place in the standings. Real Betis seems more stable to me, and they will play at home, so I wouldn't bet for Real Sociedad this time, but who knows, football is full of surprise. in fact, Betis and Real Sociedad are the two teams that are in the upper zone in the La Liga standings, but basically Betis and Real Sociedad either don't have good consistency and or are both unstable at this moment. Therefore, in this match I don't think the winner can be determined with certainty because of course, both of them have the quality with the same chance to get points or just share points with a draw. Also, even though Betis is playing at home, of course that cannot be a guarantee that Betis can win easily. Also, even if for example Betis can win in this match, Betis will still be in fifth position, because to overtake Real Sociedad in fourth place, of course, Betis still needs more time and great effort. |

If you look at the meetings this season (it's more like City to win against Arsenal), the pressure on Arsenal's players will definitely be heavy and they might not focus on the match. If Arsenal win against Man city later (it's possible to win the title as long as all the rest of the matches can be won).
However, Arteta's process for the past 3 years has shown improvement, for this year who would have thought Arsenal could become a title contender with Man City. In Arsenal's ranking from year to year there is progress, all that remains is to fix it mentally.
Even though they didn't get a trophy this year, it's a lesson for the young Arsenal squad, whose average age is the youngest among the other contestants. Believe that the process is not instant with a young squad without undermining the struggle of the Arsenal squad, there is still a lot that needs to be fixed. being able to win the EPL is a bonus, I appreciate the performance of the players, staff and coaches.
No body care or give accolade to Arteta if after three years in charge of the club could not win the title, even when their in their best form this season, its obvious Manchester city will clinch the title. their next game with manchester city will determine if Arsenal will still be title contender. i just wish Arsenal win this tile, to end manchester city domination in the league. if Manchester united wins the FA cup, plus the one league cup they had already and finish third in the league then Arsenal fail to win the title in their best season. Manchester united will have better season than arsenal Indeed, at least Arteta has produced extraordinary results and or improvements for Arsenal because to be honest, to be a challenger in the Premier League title race is certainly never going to be easy. So yes, even though Arsenal have failed to win a title this season, that doesn't mean it's a big failure because anyway, with Arsenal playing in the Champions League next season, it's also basically a good achievement. After all, ending Manchester City's dominance is not easy, because Manchester City at this moment looks like a perfect team from all aspects. Thus, of course, Manchester City still has a big chance to overtake Arsenal at the top of the English Premier League standings. Because after all, Manchester City this season doesn't have a good chance only in the domestic league, but Manchester City also has a good chance in the Champions League, which means that Manchester City at this moment really has above average quality. |

Marseille team won yesterday against lyon 2 1 regaining their second place, they were slightely better but they got lucky gusto scored an own goal in the last minutes of the game offering them important three points which will give them an edge over lens who are only one point away from them.
Actually, in terms of ball possession, the home team (Lyon) is slightly better than Marseille. It's just that the Lyon team had to suffer bad luck because of an own goal from their own player (Malo Gusto). And this is of course very profitable for Marseille because the own goal occurred in the 90+2 minute which was the final seconds of a match they were playing at that time. And yes, now Marseille has regained second place in the Ligue1 standings, although this position is not completely safe for Marseille because Marseille's number of points is still very close to Lens, who is in third place. Yes, it was really unlucky for Lyon to lose at home, because Lyon failed to win a point only because of an own goal in the final minutes of the match. Also, Marseille's victory this season against Lyon, is at least a revenge mission that Marseille has managed to get. Because last season Marseille lost by Lyon in its two matches or two meetings last season in Ligue 1. But yes, apart from that basically in this season Marseille is still better than Lyon and yes, regarding yesterday's match even though Marseille lost the ball possession but, at least Marseille can also dominate other statistics very well. Therefore, a draw is indeed a decent result in this match, but Marseille is still getting lucky in this match. |

The three consecutive defeats that Juventus have had in the last three matches, of course it is a bad result and if for example Juventus does not qualify for the semi-finals in the Europa League and also, if for example Juventus does not get back 15 points. So of course, right now Juventus are very down, and I really don't think Juventus will have a bad result like this.
So yes, lucky Juventus to make it through to the semi-finals of the Europa League and also, lucky Juventus to get back 15 points and at least that keeps Juventus in the top four. But unfortunately, if Juventus' performance does not improve properly, then of course Juventus can still get out of the top four and if that happens, then of course it will be a very regrettable result.
