Paris Saint Germain will first host Barcelona in the quarter-final first leg, but before they meet, it is very unfortunate that Paris Saint Germain had to be held to a draw by the club which is at the bottom of the standings. Even though they played without some of their main players, it was still a bad result for a club like Parisian club Germain.
No need to be surprised if you see PSG draw against a weak team like Clermont that's normal and in my opinion there are 2 reasons. Firstly, PSG is safely at the top of the standings and there is no team that can disturb them, so whatever the result of the match is, it will not have an impact on their position. 2nd PSG wants to avoid injuries and prepare the best squad to face Barcelona in the Champions League, of course PSG doesn't want to miss the opportunity to play at home, 3 points is the main target then in the second leg they will try to draw. It's just that I'm a little wondering why the betting market has no confidence in PSG in the first leg they offer odds x2 for PSG to win even though PSG is playing at home. Yes indeed, basically it does not matter about PSG draw against Clermont in the Ligue 1 match, and of course the result also does not have a bad impact on PSG's performance in the Champion League which will play against Barcelona. But indeed, if considering about the best Ligue 1 team then ofcourse PSG has prestige so it still targets victory in that match against Clermont. But yes, although PSG has made good preparations for the match in the Champions League against Barcelona by resting some key players, but I believe there is still no strong guarantee for PSG's good results in the Champions League. But yes, let's just look forward to it, because it looks like PSG and Barcelona at this moment still both have a chance to get a victory, because this moment it looks like their quality is also not much different. |

Well after the yesterday results in Bundesliga we can have a game changer in someways, because now Leverkusen is practically secured the title so they can rest players in their Bundesliga games if this is necesary.
Anyways i still think Leverkusen is not gonna win this competition.
Everyone's raving about Leverkusen's amazing Bundesliga run. But Europa League? That is entirely different. Its a great accomplishment for any team, but comparing domestic form to the Europa League is foolish.The bookies now favour them and Liverpool, which makes sense. The Europa League is where underdogs shine and surprises happen, as we know. Liverpool has a history of success in European competitions. Although Leverkusen is strong, football is about more than winning streaks. We've seen clubs win their leagues but lose in Europe. Different mindset and intensity. I like underdogs, so Im not betting on Leverkusen yet. If you bet or choose Bayer Leverkusen then you yourself are a fool because after all, you yourself said that Bayer Leverkusen is a bad team in the Europa League because you think the results in the domestic league cannot be compared with the results in the Europa League. LOL. If you have said that about the quality of Bayer Leverksuen in the Bundesliga and in the Europa League cannot be the same at all, but why do bookies still favor Bayer Leverkusen as a candidate for the Europa League title at this time? If you are completely confident in your personal words and assumptions, then you can prove it by choosing West Ham to win who will face Bayer Leverkusen in the quarter-finals of the Europa League this time. |

Kölm scored important points in the relegation battle with their victory against Bochum. And Bochum are once again closer to relegation. Those responsible have now grasped the last straw and sacked coach Thomas Letsch. Bochum have lost five times in their last six games and after losing in additional time with two goals from Köln, it is understandable that they are doing everything they can to avoid relegation. Thomas Letch was able to prevent the relegation last season. Now someone else has to try it. Who is not yet known.
It's really unfortunate I think, about Bochum decision to fire their coach because afterall, in this match also the fact that Bochum played away but Bochum managed to lead with a 0-1 goal in the 53rd minute. Butunfortunately, team home FC Koln managed to make a comeback in the 90+ minutes and thus, Bochum failed to secure three points in this match.But anyway, eventhough Bochum became closer to the relegation zone but I believe, that Bochum still has the ability tomaintain its position to stay in the Bandesliga and not fall into the relegation zone. But yes, because Bochum have also fired their coach, then maybe thesituation will become moredifficult, because of course the new coach also needs time to adapt. |

It is impossible for Girona to let themselves lose and waste opportunities in the next three matches, they will definitely use their best strength to continue to win in every upcoming match. I am very confident that Girona will remain in the top three of the standings. I think the next match, when they play Atletico Madrid, must at least end in a draw so that Girona's points are not chased by Athletic Club. Míchel is already considering the strategy that should be used for the match on April 13th.
If Girona can win in the next three matches, Girona still has a chance to regain second place from Barcelona because Barcelona will face tough opponents in the next three matches. This means that Barcelona also has to win in the next three matches to be able to maintain its position in second place because one of the tough matches for Barcelona will be against Real Madrid. Meanwhile, for Girona, their tough opponent will be against Atletico Madrid in the near future, so that is the match that Girona must win before their next two matches. Basically, of course Girona will still make their best efforts to maintain theirposition in the top four but I guess, sometimes even though the team has made good efforts too but bad results can still occur any time. Therefore, although greatefforts have been made but if at the same time they are in badluck, then ofcourse defeat is also difficult to avoid. But anyway, about Girona next match against Atletico and although Girona lost but still, the fact is that Girona still has a better point advantage compared to Atletico. So yes, even though if Girona lost by Atletico, but of course Girona will still remain in third place and I think Girona is still fairly safe to still finish in the top four. |

There's no one stealing Serie A title from Inter Milan this year. Playing a game less than AC Milan, the team in second place, they have a 11 points lead. There are just 8 matches left for Inter Milan and 7 for AC Milan. The champions league qualification too is nearly decided. Inter, AC Milan, Juventus have a good lead against Roma, the team in 5th place. The only team Roma could threaten is Bologna for the champions league place. Considering the poor performance by Serie A teams in champions league this year, they won't make any significance unless there is an influx of better players in Serie A.
Yup, It is too difficult to catch Inter Milan points. As an AC Milan fan, I have to think realistically, that the chance for AC Milan to overtake Inter is almost non-existent with the remaining Serie A matches this season. Maintaining position 2 is can be AC Milan target. Apart from that, focusing on UEL and trying to get trophies can be another options for Milan to give a trophy for their fans. Of course, the UEL trophy is not easy with the team's current condition. But, if Serie A has to be given to its brother, then EUL must be owned by AC Milan. There is no good chance for Milan to get the Europa League trophy, eventhough Milan are still part of the big Serie A team but still, Milan quality is still not strong enough to be a candidate for the title in the Europa League. Therefore, I think Milan will not get any trophies this season but even so, at least with Milan who managed to finish in the top four or rather Milan managed to become runner up in the Serie A standings. So yes, these results remain a good result for Milan this season, because basically Milan still need to improve performance and quality to be better and stronger to become a good team that is in the title race next season. |

I was not surprised that Liverpool could not beat Manchester United at Old Trafford in their Premier League match yesterday. This season, since Liverpool could not beat Manchester United in the Premier League and FA Cup, I knew they would find it difficult to beat Manchester United in the Premier League. Even though Liverpool drew with Manchester United, the Premier League title race is wide-open because Arsenal and Liverpool have the same points.
And because Liverpool and Arsenal are the same on points, that will make the competition much fiercer for them in terms of winning trophies this season. Because I also still think there is one more team that Liverpool and Arsenal still have to take into account, namely Manchester City because that team is also only one point behind Liverpool and Arsenal. So the fight for the title for this season will continue to be fierce until the end of the season because the three still have points that are not much different. You are correct. With the points accumulated this season in the Premier League between Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City, the Premier League will be fiercer because Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City will want to win their matches in the Premier League to have the chance of winning the Premier League title this season. Although Liverpool still have a chance to be able to finish at the top of the standings but yes, at least I personally have a little doubt in Liverpool at this moment. Because yes, it looks like Liverpool are really getting heavy pressure and therefore, it seems difficult for Liverpool to get good results in the remaining matches this season. Although indeed, I also don't fully assume Liverpool lost the chance but yes, because I also consider the situation of the Liverpool squad which is still getting some key players injured, then that factor it is also an obstacle for Liverpool so it is difficult to get consistent good results. |

Haaland hasn’t been scoring many goals this season compared to last season, but I can still tell you that Haaland is a dangerous player, which we shouldn’t underestimate in any match. What I noticed is that Haaland is not always given much opportunity by the opposite teams, sometimes you will see two or more players attacking Haaland alone. How do you expect him to perform well in most matches? But I will tell you that Haaland is still a dangerous player, and Real Madrid’s defenders shouldn’t underestimate Haaland in the match.
Nobody is underestimating Haaland, you don't expect defenders to give him a less defensive attack in a given match, knowing fully well how dangerous he can be when attacked less. Last season Haaland won the highest goal scorers in the Premier League. You know why? Because defenders were given less defensive marking and secondly they don't know how Pep Guardiola statics of fixturing Haaland in a field of play. Now, that almost all the clubs know Haaland's position and statistics of play in a match, Haaland is finding it difficult to score goals because of how the defenders are all over him to be marking him always. Didn't you know? that thisseason Haaland is still the top scorer in the Premier League and also, Haaland still has the same goal total of 6 goals as the other players at the top scorer list in the Champions League this season. So, basically Haaland is still in good form and not completely bad thisseason. After all, Manchester City is also not just about Haaland because after all, Manchester City also still has other players who are able to score goals for Manchester City matches, and notentirely just about Haaland. Soyes, basically Manchester City is still fine and of course, there is nothing to doubt about the quality of Manchester City, because as long Pep Guardiola is still the manager of Manchester City, then Manchester City still has good quality. |

I would like to congratulate Atletico Bilbao who won the Copa Del Rey this season after beating Mallorca in the final in a penalty shootout.
As I expected, Mallorca will look for quick goals in this match, after which they will play more defensively. And it was proven that they could score a goal first in the 21st minute which put them ahead. Atletico Bilbao, who tried to equalize the position, failed in the first half and had to end the first half trailing by 1 goal. In the second half they immediately spread threats, and it didn't take long because they managed to equalize in the 50th minute.
After that they could no longer score goals because Mallorca tried their best to withstand every attack they made. The second half ended with a draw. They continued the match to the penalty shootout, with a 50/50 chance that Atletico Bilbao managed to beat Mallorca with a score of 4-2 and finally they could win the title this season.
I think, because I consider that Bilbao in this season has a good performance, then Bilbao should be able to end the match in normal 90 minutes. But yes, what happened was that the match had to be decided on penalties and thus, Bilbao failed to win easily in this Copa del Rey final match. Because after all, in the La Liga standings also that Mallorca is only in 15th position and it is still part of the team that is in the lower zone. But even though their quality clearly has a difference, Bilbao really used great efforts to be able to win the Copa del Rey trophy. Indeed, basically or in essence congratulations to Bilbao for getting the trophy this season, but I personally am not too satisfied with the final result that must be determined through penalties like that. |

1-0 for Juventus after the 1st half, with also a removed goal for an offside.
This is going well for them, they need the 3 point to get a breath of fresh air in the leaderboard.
If it will ends like this, they will have +4 from Bologna and +7 from Roma.
Although Fiorentina is not a weak team at all, but so far thismatch until the 80th minute Juventus still looksfine, because Juventus is also still leading with a score of 1-0. Buteven so Fiorentina really has very good ball possession in this match but even though Fiorentina leading in ballpossession, but Fiorentina is also unable to make good goal attempts. So yes, eventhough Fiorentina has ball possession but if it's likethat, then it willstill be difficult for Fiorentina to be able to score in this match. Therefore, I say that Juventus is still fine so far despite Juventus only leading with a thin score of 1-0, because Fiorentina also does not have a goodability to be able to make goals in this match because Fiorentina seemsto get a deadlock. |

Today is a very interesting matchday... Man U did not lose to Liverpool, although they could even win, but they had the same bad luck as in the last match against Chelsea... But Liverpool disappointingly missed out on the top spot in the EPL... And Chelsea could not beat Sheffield, which is in last place in the standings...
It's quite impressive for Manchester United to be able to prevent Liverpool from getting three points in this match, because Manchester United managed to hold Liverpool to a draw, which basically that Liverpool really needed full points in this moment. With results like this,Arsenal and Liverpool now really have the same points with the same number of matches and yes, it would be interesting if the winner of the trophy was only determined or only had a difference in the number of goals.But indeed, there are still many matches to be played until the season ends, so Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City will really continue to compete to finish at the top because now their points difference is only one point with Manchester City. |

I don't doubt Man City but I always hope that Real Madrid can take revenge for last season's defeat.
This is a very difficult target, Madrid does have quality players and is ready to face Man City in better conditions. However, the problem is Pep Guardiola strategy often makes things difficult for Ancelotti. Ancelotti is a coach who has experience in the UCL, no doubt about him, but if he can't find the weakness in Guardiola's strategy, when you say that Madrid can win with a big score, I'm not sure about that. Even a 2-0 win is very difficult to achieve. IMO Real Madrid and Manchester City have the same quality, whether it's the quality of players, the quality of coaches, finances and other factors too. So, you can't say that only Real Madrid has quality players because, inreality, Manchester City also has quality players. With considerations likethat, it is ofcourse difficult to determine the winner in this match between Real Madrid v Manchester City, because these two teams are the two teams that are basically candidates for the Champions League title this season. Eventhough it is true that Manchester City experienced a few bad results in the Premier League but of course, this factor certainly will not make Manchester City weak in the Champions League.Because ofcourse, Pep Guardiola also has a good plan to keep Manchester City playing well in the Champions League this time. |

PSG are currently drawing at home, it's 1-1 but it's not a problem for them because there is no team in the league that can rival them.
I think they are already champions, that's the worst thing about the French league, there is only 1 team and every year it's the same, every once in a while a surprise team comes out and becomes champion.
There are 6 weeks until the end of the league. In my opinion, there is no rival to Paris Saint Germain in the French league. They are at a very high level in the league in terms of staff and economic power. They also managed to direct this economic power in line with their own interests. We can say that the championship for League 1 belongs to Paris Saint Germain. But atleast, PSG has not been able to set a record like Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga with 11 consecutive trophies and thus, I think PSG dominance can still be thwarted by other teams in Ligue 1. Although indeed, quite often the efforts of other teams also fail because after all, although PSG started the season with bad results, but as the season progressed PSG was really still able to return to the top of the table with Mbappe great performance. So, if for example Mbappe is confirmed to leave in the transfer window later, then of course it might be a chance for otherteams to win the Ligue 1 title. Because after all, it is possible that PSG will experience difficult efforts to get consistent results because of Mbappe departure. So yes, let's just wait for what will happen next season whether PSG will still be able to win the trophy or not because PSG no longer have Mbappe in the squad. |

Well after the yesterday results in Bundesliga we can have a game changer in someways, because now Leverkusen is practically secured the title so they can rest players in their Bundesliga games if this is necesary.
Anyways i still think Leverkusen is not gonna win this competition.
Obviously, any result can still happen, so you really can't guarantee or say that Bayer Leverusen will fail in the Europa League. Because after all, a treble winner is the big dream of every team that is capable or has the chance to get it. So yes, because this season Bayer Leverkusen has a big chance of getting a treble winner, of course, Bayer Leverkusen will also have a big effort in the Europa League this time to get a trophy Europa League after Bayer Leverkusen managed to get the Bundesliga trophy and the DFB Pokal trophy. After all, basically this season is a season with great moments for Bayer Leverkusen to get lots of trophies because after all, having a result without defeat so far this season means it is certainly feasible for Bayer Leverkusen to get lots of trophies this season with a treble winner. |

In today's match between Hoffenheim vs Augsburg in Germany League, the performance of Hoffenheim team players was very good, for which Hoffenheim team scored 3 goals in today's match. On the other hand, Augsburg team scored 1 goal. The performance of Augsburg team players was very bad in the first half, for which the first half Couldn't score any goals. Hoffenheim's goalkeeper O. Baumann had a very good performance from start to finish.
With Hoffenheim's success in beating Augsburg in this match, their current points are the same, but Hoffenheim still loses in goal productivity and thus Hoffenheim's position is still below Augsburg's position. Although indeed, in this match Hoffenheim managed to play well and achieved a good victory with a final score of 3-1. But despite this, it looks like Augsburg also put up a good fight in this match even though Augsburg played away. After all, Augsburg also managed to have shots on target better than the home team Hoffenheim. But yes, what is important is the final result, and even though Augsburg had better shots on target, but the final result was that Augsburg still lost in this away match against Hoffenheim. |

There's something we call standards clubs and they don't relent but anticipate in competitive race which is beyond these mediocre teams. Real Madrid will end first while Barcelona will settle for second position, that's how these teams stay ontop on the La Liga table without any threatening opponents and the one time we would have seen a difference for them was when Girona stood up to challenge but lacks the consistency to reach far. Spanish football is entirely different from other leagues.
Apart from being very different from other leagues, the Spanish League is usually dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona at the top of the standings. So when there is a team like Girona who wants to challenge for the title, it will also have an even more different atmosphere like this season. Because Barcelona will still face several tough opponents in the remainder of this season, Barcelona's struggle to stay in second place in the standings until the end of the season is still not finished and still has to be fought very hard. Although Barcelona still has to make great efforts to maintain its position in second place, but I think Barcelona is enough in that position even though it only has a 2-point gap with Girona. Because yes, lately also that Girona is experiencing instability and because of that, Girona also sometimes gets bad results because they lose certain matches. So yes, considering that La Liga is only dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona, then Barcelona should also be able to ensure they finish in second place and thwart Girona who are still trying to finish in a better position in second place. |

Bologna really lost points, I give it only a slight probability to happen honestly. This is wonderful news for Roma of course. The point gap between them is back to three now.
~ That's what usually happens, when teams in the top four only play against teams in the relegation zone, but sometimes these teams in the top four fail to get full points in matches like this. So yes, I think it's nothing new with failures like this but indeed, basically AS Roma still have a chance to be able to finish in the top four. I personally don't care whether Bologna are able to keep winning or not because after all, basically AS Roma have better quality and winning mentality compared to Bologna. Therefore, if AS Roma is able to continue to put pressure and or threats on Bologna, then it can also make AS Roma still have a chance to overtake Bologna in fourth position. |

The result of the first half is no surprise, Manchester United are very poor this season. Liverpool are a better team this season and as expected, everything seems to be working for the good of Liverpool. They are going into the second half with a goal lead. I believe Liverpool will be taking better advantage of their chances in the second half. I hope icopress did not bet on Manchester United.
Manchester united have been lucky to have a free goal due to the error from Liverpool goalkeeper that he gave a shot pass to his defender. The game is now tensed as Manchester united is trying to display some confidence in the match, after the goal scored by Bruno Fernandez on the 50th minutes. Such an early goal has put the atmosphere into a tensed one. It is now 1-1 draw, and I don't know if this match will be in favor of Liverpool because they are pressuring united right now. Although Liverpool looks like they still have better quality than Manchester United but still, at this moment Liverpool are still under difficult pressure. So yes, because Liverpool are still in difficult situations and conditions, of course it will still not be easy for Liverpool to win in this away match against Manchester United. Although it is true, that Liverpool are also still able to play well in this match by having good dominance also in statistics. But anyway, in this second half Liverpool failed to maintain the victory they had in the first half because after all, currently the score is 2-1 and Manchester United is leading. |

Just because you have good players on your team doesn't mean that you are going to win all the games. We have seen it with PSG before Messi joined as well, they had Neymar and Mbappe and still lost to Lille as well, which was a shocker to the whole world but it happened. So, we should consider that as very important information regards to this situation. I can't say that we are going to see a lot more situations changing like that, of course we could have some difference, but we can't make it work differently.
I believe that we are going to end up with a situation that would be a lot lesser, and PSG will do fine even after Mbappe because they figured out just star players can't get you everything, so they are getting other good players.
How good and great PSG is from season to season, but the fact is that PSG can still lose by mediocre teams and thus, of course PSG is still not strong enough to be able to compete well in the Champions League. But after all, at least other big teams also sometimes get bad results or experience bad luck when they play against mediocre teams. Because after all, when they play against a team that also has good quality, then of course they will also do their best, at least they still have prestige. But by the way, currently PSG have just finished their home match against Clermont but yes, in reality PSG also almost lost because PSG were just able to score an equalizer in the 85th minute. But indeed, it looks like Enrique really rotated players in this match, of course to prepare for their match in the Champions League against Barcelona later. |

I mean Real managed to beat City before as well, and last year City managed to beat Madrid, they are both good teams and could beat each other, so it doesn't feel like that would be such a big bore, I think that seems to be the case, I feel like that seems like the most important part. I feel like the best thing about the current situation is that you could possibly make it work one way or another and should not be afraid of just going for the win.
Any team that plays too defensive against the other, would be only calling for a loss, so both teams should play as attacking as possible without fear. City could play a little bit more defensive and I fear that they could lose because of that, possession is great and all, but they need to score.
Although in the last two seasons Real Madrid and Manchester City have faced each other in the semifinals, but in fact Real Madrid and Manchester City have never met in the Champions League final. I think this is very unfortunate because Real Madrid and Manchester City are still in a good trend in these three consecutive seasons. Although indeed, for next season it is also still possible for Real Madrid and Mancehster City to have a good trend, but if they always meet in important matches in the Champions League like this, then at least it might be boring too even though it is not entirely right. But yes, the point is that it's unfortunate that they met in the quarterfinals, because their level is clearly worthy of qualifying for the semifinals and finals. |

Athletic club will play against Mallorca in the Copa Del Rey final today. I am expecting Athletic club to win. I think that is the case for everyone else as well. Athletic club is performing far better compared to Mallorca in the La Liga. And I think if they can win the Copa Del Rey, it is going to give them good confidence. Which might help them to actually get ahead of Atlético Madrid in the La Liga table. And the Atlético Madrid fall-off really needs to be studied. They looked to be giving a good competition for the second place and now it is hard for them to even stay on the fourth place.
It seems that Bilbao has also never got the Copa del Rey trophy and therefore, because in this season Bilbao has a good performance compared to previous seasons. So yes, it should be for Bilbao to be able to beat Mallorca in the finalmatch of the Copa del Rey this time. Because after all, the position of Bilbao and Mallorca in the La Liga standings is also clear that it has a significant difference and therefore, there is no reason for Bilbao to fail to beat Mallorca in this match. Although indeed, based on head to head records as well at least Mallorca is not an easy team or not easy opponent for Bilbao. But even so, in their last meeting this season in La Liga matches, the fact is that Billbao managed to beat Mallorca with a big score of 4-0. Therefore, Bilbao really must be able to maximize this good moment to be able to beat Mallorca and also to get the Copa del Rey trophy of course. |
