it seems that when facing Lyon next week, PSG will have quite a few difficulties with some of their players. PSG are still on top of the table but of course, they don't want to drop any more points after losing against Rennes at home.
some unpleasant news for Messi. fans at the stadium did not like Messi, who felt he was unable to lead PSG to qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals.
Honestly is true about fans reaction dislike with Lionel Messi after PSG eliminating from Champion League and issues about not reach personal agreement deal with extended contract between Messi and PSG. Become bad situation for PSG after having inconsistent performance three loss in last three games. Up coming next games against Lyon and PSG should stop three loss in a row and give winning games for their fans after last three games not winning yet. Lionel Messi should show his capacities and fans will respect back for him, but if can't back to the top performance I don't sure how long fans not happy for Lionel Messi. Whether or not Messi is in the PSG squad, I believe it will still be difficult for PSG to reach the Champions League final. So, if PSG fans really don't want Messi to be in the PSG squad, then it will be easy for Messi to leave because after all, blaming only one player is not a solution. So to sum it up, it looks like PSG fans don't like Messi and it's not about PSG being eliminated from the Champions League. Because if they don't like the players, then there are still many other players who can't contribute well to the team so they might not like other players. |

Nowhere have I seen information that Chelsea are going to extend Potter's contract until 2030, I only know that he seems to have a chance before the start of next season, if the team starts next season as badly, then Potter will lose his place. Whether it is worth waiting for the next season to see what the result will be again, I do not know, because if the next season the team starts badly again, then it will not be possible to count on good results. I doubt that with current results, Potter will be extended the contract until 2030, even if he agrees to work for free.
If Chelsea had been firm and had been able to charge Potter from the start maybe it wouldn't have turned out this bad. As we can see the Chelsea owners don't care about the future of Chelsea, Todd Boehly is just as focused on spending money as he does. Again if Todd Boehly is expecting anything good in the next season then replacing Potter would be much better. Btw why not take Nagelsmann? isn't he worthy enough to bring Chelsea with his reputation at Bayern Munich certainly not something impossible. This is not a matter of extending the contract but in fact, Graham Potter has a long contract at Chelsea until 2027. So, it is impossible for Chelsea to issue a statement to extend the contract, because the contract that Graham Potter himself has is still very long. So, instead of discussing a contract extension it would be more accurate to say it doesn't look like Graham Potter will be at Chelsea for long. Therefore, if next season Graham Potter is still at Chelsea then it is not about his contract being extended, but Graham Potter is still under contract. Also about Todd Boehly, there is no owner who doesn't care about the club he owns. As for Todd Boehly spending a lot of money, it's basically the early stages of building a good team. The problem with the current poor results, that doesn't mean Todd Boehly doesn't care about Chelsea's future, but a failure like this is indeed very possible. |

Maybe this will also be the second chance for Tuchel to surprise, having previously been able to quickly improve Chelsea's quality by winning a title. So I think, with Bayern Munich it looks like Tuchel has a big chance to repeat that success and maybe, with Tuchel it looks like Bayern Munich will have the chance to win the Bundesliga title and also the Champions League.
Let's see what Tuchel can do for Bayern Munich. So far Bayern Munich is still on the treble path because apart from the UCL and Bundesliga, they are also still playing in the DFB Pokal. Hopefully Bayern Munich's decision to fire Nagelsmann is not a bad decision that will lead Bayern Munich to not get any titles this season. BTW, has there been no news about Nagelsmann's future so far? like which clubs are starting to be interested in bringing him in as a manager. Yes indeed, it is also possible that other teams still have to make preparations to recruit a new coach, so that Nagelsmann will not quickly accept offers from other clubs. But I'm sure Nagelsmann will get a place to coach a top team in a top league too, because basically Nagelsmann still has great ability to build a club to become a great team. But yes, regarding tuchel to be honest I am really looking forward to the results, because Tuchel's first match as coach of Bayern Munich is to play against Dortmund next weekend or early April. But I still hope Tuchel doesn't lose his magic here, because it would be great if Tuchel can build on such huge success in such a short time. |

I think Barcelona planned this very well. Barcelona understood that it is not going to be a realistic idea to go for the other cups or trophies. Actually, unless it is the Champions League trophy, it is not going to matter that much anyway.
So they made the right decision to go for the La Liga title. It's not like they couldn't care less about any other trophies. But the main priority was the la Liga title. And we can see what a beautiful job they have done. They are also playing well in the Copa del Rey. Let's see if they can actually go ahead in the competition. They do have the setup for it.
The truth is that Barcelona wants the laliga because this is what they can afford to win, they need to win laliga first before they can think of winning the champions league . Barcelona knows their level of performance can get them winning the champions league, winning champions league is for strong teams. La Liga is the first goal and main target for Xavi in Barcelona and they are not going to lose this chance obviously because they are near to getting the title and their traditional and main competitor Real Madrid is far from them with 12 points difference. Barcelona's second target can Copa del Rey when they have to beat Real Madrid again, but currently, they won't lose the chance to take the title in La Liga. I think when a team already has good results in the local league, then of course they will chase other titles like the Champions League. But if they still fail to win the Champions League title, then at least they can still target the Europa League title. But unfortunately, Barcelona not only failed in the Champions League, but Barcelona also failed in the Europa League. Also, even if they can't win the Champions League title, at least a team as big as Barcelona should be able to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League. But then again, Barcelona couldn't achieve that, so I don't think Xavi is just chasing titles in the local league, but Xavi also had efforts to achieve good results in the Champions League but still failed. |

I don't think it's right to say that Newcastle will not be a difficult opponent for Manchester United. Indeed they are dropping not like they were at the start of the season. But that doesn't mean it lowers their level. Newcastle must also realize this is a game that will be important for them. Their chance to sit in the top 4 at the end of the season is still very open, so they will try their best.
I agree with you so far Newcastle have only lost 3 times in the Premiere league only Manchester City and Liverpool have managed to beat him Maybe Manchester United could have beaten them but it won't be easy because Newcastle are playing at home they have a good record at James' Park. I think Newcastle is pretty good this year too. I agree with you on this. But if we are talking about Manchester United, we have to say that both teams have a chance to win the match. Manchester surprised me in some games this year, I'm very curious how they will play against Newcastle. It will be a very important game for both teams Yes indeed, even though Newcastle have experienced a slight decline in their position in the Premier League standings, but that does not mean that Newcastle is an easy team to beat. Because after all, Newcastle is currently different from a few seasons ago, because at this moment Newcastle has better management, then of course this can boost the morale of the players to be better. So yes, the match against Manchester United will certainly be a difficult match for both of them, because both of these teams have basically improved their performance and good results in the season. Therefore, when they compete, then of course this will be a difficult match for both of them because both of them are targeting to get full points. |

I think what Sporting Lisbon has done for Arsenal has become a more self-confident spirit and mentality for the Lisbon players themselves. I think Juventus must be careful of Sporting Lisbon's counter-attacks, don't let what happened to Arsenal happen to Juventus.
I'm sure Juventus will advance to the next round even though it's not easy to beat Sporting Lisbon.
Juventus are certainly very careful with their opponents this time, namely Sporting CP, which has knocked Arsenal out of the Europa League this season. Juventus' determination to continue advancing to the next round is still very large and Juventus will definitely try their best to make this happen even though it is not easy because Sporting CP is also a very dangerous team this season in the European League, so their matches will probably be fierce. Sporting Lisbon vs Juventus match would be very tense, both clubs are in good form. Juventus have picked form,injured players back and the club's performance is balanced. This match is unpredictable since we have Di Maria back in the team. Sporting is a strong team for them to win Arsenal and I believe that they will be taking this match serious because they also want to win the league. Sporting loves counter attack and I don't know if this strategy will work for them in this match. After all, Juventus are targeting to be able to win the Europa League title, because if Juventus can win the Europa League title, Juventus can be sure to get a Champions League ticket next season. Also, Juventus has a good defensive line, so if Sporting only relies on counterattacks, then it looks like it will be difficult for Sporting to score goals against Juventus. So yes, I personally remain confident that Juventus have a better chance of winning. But, even though Juventus have the chance to qualify, of course, Juventus still have to make great efforts because to win at this stage will certainly never be easy. |

Atalanta desperately needs the points to be able to mean something at the top. In the current list, Atalanta is 7 points behind the surprising number 2 Lazio. It is remarkable how good Lazio is after the winter break, and other teams have lost many points. And even more striking is that Lazio has already been eliminated in the conference league. It can go strange in the football world, I think Lazio Roma is certainly not the 2nd best team after Napoli, but that doesn't always say everything. For Lazio it has also been a while since they played CL, I'll give it to them. Atalanta will probably have to make do with a place in the EL this season.
Unexpected results like that experienced by Lazio can indeed happen but about Atalanta, I don't think it's anything strange anymore if in the end Atalanta can't finish in the top four. Not only that, although previously Atalanta could have good results to be able to compete in the top six, but I believe that Atalanta may not get a ticket to play in the European zone next season, because it looks like Juventus will continue to rise. In fact, Atalanta still don't have the ability to be consistent, or at least to maintain their position in the top six. Because Atalanta has experienced results like this many times, and so Atalanta should be able to overcome bad problems like this. |

most people also complaining why Bayern management suddently sacked Nagelsmann without any spesific reasons
The reason for Julian Nagelsmann's dismissal is very clear, if you look at various well-known sports media, the reason Bayern Munich sacked Nagelsmann was due to a significant decrease in performance, yes, even though Nagelsmann has so far managed to keep Bayern Munich in the UCL, that's just not enough for Bayern Munchen. FYI, they have won the Bundesliga title since the last 10 seasons, if they don't manage to get the Bundesliga title this season, it will be a big surprise for people. Agreed, and maybe I'm one of the people who likes Bayern Munich's decision to sack Nagelsmann and replace him with Tuchel. I think it's also very interesting, because Tuchel was also sacked suddenly by Chelsea but finally, Tuchel was appointed coach of Bayern Munich too at least suddenly or maybe for a short time. So yes, with this change of coach, of course the competition in the hunt for the Bundesliga title between Bayern Munich and Dortmund will become more interesting, because Tuchel is also a former Dortmund coach. Maybe this will also be the second chance for Tuchel to surprise, having previously been able to quickly improve Chelsea's quality by winning a title. So I think, with Bayern Munich it looks like Tuchel has a big chance to repeat that success and maybe, with Tuchel it looks like Bayern Munich will have the chance to win the Bundesliga title and also the Champions League. |

Liverpool obviously have the motivation to beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, but the problem is that it won't be easy for Liverpool because Manchester City also have the motivation to win at home next week. But it would be extraordinary if Liverpool were able to win at home to Manchester City next week in order to continue to be close to Newcastle's points in the standings, because Liverpool's target at the end of the season is to be in the top four or top five of the standings.
this will be difficult for Liverpool. at least Man City have never lost in their last 10 home matches in all competitions. this is a good opportunity to continue to reduce the points gap with Arsenal. Meanwhile for Liverpool, even though they need points to catch up with Newcastle and Tottenham to chase 1 ticket to the European zone, it will still be difficult for Liverpool to achieve this season. Liverpool still has enough games against strong teams. they have to play their best. After all, I think every team will certainly try to get victory in every match, so it's no wonder they will have to make a big effort to get it. But unfortunately, the quality of these two teams at this moment has a wide enough difference, so it will never be easy for Liverpool to beat Manchester City. But yes, the possibility for a surprise can happen because sometimes, Liverpool can also put up a tough fight when playing against a top team. So, even though Liverpool's quality is not entirely good at this moment, but Liverpool still has a chance to be able to hold Manchester City because both of them still need point by point. |

Rennes vs Lens is could be interesting match for next weekend this because both teams in the good shape especially Lens that they had a target want to overtake Marseille position on standings league and 1 difference points between them and Marseille still possible to be achieved but Rennes too won't let Lens to earn 3 points from this match especially their position threaten by Lille so Rennes have to win to secured their position
Lens had good records from Rennes before but they should be careful to Rennes because this season Rennes were very hard to be defeated at home and so far they have already got 11 wins from their home ground matches so Lens basically faced difficult match and Rennes in the good mentally after successfully to beat PSG recently so they have strong motivation to earn 3 points from this match
In fact, Lens is superior to Rennes in the results of home and away matches and also, in their first meeting this season, Lens was still able to maintain its dominance when playing against Rennes. Also, the odds currently available at least don't have a significant difference so even though Lens is playing away, I'm sure Lens will still not be easy to beat. Of course Lens cannot lose in this match, because Lens' position is threatened by Monaco who are in fourth place with only three points gap. So yes, even though in the match Lens will not be easy to win, then a draw is enough for Lens to maintain its position in third place in the Ligue 1 standings. |

It is certain that most people will not bet on Bayern Munich's victory in the match against Manchester City later. Even so, I prefer to bet over 2.5 goals, in my opinion it still makes a lot of sense because each team will definitely score each other's goals rather than having to bet on the winning team. Moreover, Manchester City will host the first leg and will struggle hard to win on aggregate.
Munich will also be quite difficult to score in the match later. since the group phase, Man City has only conceded against Dortmund and Sevilla when playing at home. and that's not more than 1 goal. Man City is very strong when playing at home. so the first leg is most likely Man City will get the win even with few goals. even without conceding. that could have been avoided by Munich if they played tight by locking up the fearsome front line of Man City. but obviously, it takes some hard work. After all, do you believe more people will bet over 2.5 goals? Everyone has their own preference, so we can't assume they won't bet on a Bayern Munich win. Because after all, this is a big match which of course the home and away teams have a chance to win and also, each of these teams has fanatical fans as well so of course there will still be those who bet on Bayern Munich's victory. In addition, in the Champions League very often the results are only with low scores, and even though these are big matches they are also not a guarantee to be able to score many goals because this is the Champions League. So, with so many betting options available, of course they are free to choose whatever betting option they like. |

Liverpool can do Arsenal a huge service by winning against Manchester City. Perhaps Klopp's men can recharge again before that game. If Arsenal also manages to win, the book will close for Manchester City. I don't think they really care about that, the goal for this club is to win the CL and they have good chances in that but were not lucky with the draw, but I will not elaborate on that in this thread. Arsenal have impressed so far, but I always have the feeling that they can collapse like that and then, for example, they fail to win 3 games out of 3. And City on the other hand is a team that can win 10 times in a row. I also stopped checking how the bookies think about the titular chances of Arsenal and Man City.
After all, the reality is this season when Arsenal didn't get a win, but at the same time Manchester City also failed to win in that match. So, even though it is still possible for Arsenal to lose and draw in the next few matches, but I'm not entirely sure that Manchester City can consistently win. Therefore, I believe Arsenal's chances of winning the title this season are very close because so far this season Arsenal can prove, when Arsenal don't win then Arsenal can improve their performance and or better results in the next match. So yes, at this moment I personally don't doubt Arsenal's quality, because Arsenal this season are better than other big teams in the Premier League. |

I think that the game between Italy and England will be the most interesting game to watch this week. Since Italy didn't qualify for the last World Cup, everyone is curious how well will they perform against a good team like England. I agree with Sithara007 that England does not look as a team on the field. I'll be on the Italy side for this game. Italy lost, i think because there are new players in the team. Mateo Retegui, who scored the goal, has been playing in Argentina for 7 years and this was his first game for Italy. So there is not much experience in the offensiv and we saw that in the game. And Italy doesnt have a „Harry Kane“, who has playing for and in England for many years. England played a good game in the first half and win it there. We also have several reasons for example England's squad looks more complete and several players are on fire at the club Almost everyone favors England including the bookies so it's actually kind of strange if someone favors Italian unless they are Italian residents Italy still has 4 matches left in this competition and only England its main competitor. There are still many opportunities in the next matches and this defeat, I'm sure Italy still has a big chance to qualify. Also, in this match Italy can still be said to be playing well, because after all, Italy played very dominating in the second half but unfortunately Italy was only able to score one goal. Also, even though the bookies favor England, but the gap is still very close and it has been proven that England is also only able to win by a narrow score. So yes, in that match Italy can still play well and of course, with such a performance, Italy will be able to get good results in the following matches. |

I think it is clear that this wasn't really about the results. I get that they are not leading the league right now but there were even worse times, the start of the season was so bad that we could have seen him be fired there as well and he wasn't.
I think this was more about the relationships he had in the team, both players and management saw him as someone who needs to go. He is a great "manager" level person, an executive, a great football director if given the chance, but when it comes to actual coaching and tactics, I feel like he was not there for personal relations and that is a big part of it, football is not just playing the game, it is also keeping everyone happy at the same time. If you get results but everyone hates you, you could still get fired.
If Julian Nagelsmann doesn't have good coaching and tactics, then why did Bayern Munich choose or recruit Julian Nagelsmann to be a coach. If Bayern Munich had realized this from the start, then of course Bayern Munich would not have recruited Julian Nagelsmann to become Bayern Munich coach. Also, the reason Bayern Munich chose Julian Nagelsmann was because previously Julian Nagelsmann had managed to give Leipzig good results. After all, if Julian Nagelsmann didn't have a good history as a coach, then a team as big as Bayern Munich would not gamble by recruiting Julian Nagelsmann as head coach of Bayern Munich. So yes, I think this is a long-term anticipation, with Bayern Munich's declining performance, Bayern Munich chose a quick move to sack Julian Nagelsmann. |

After the return of the serie A we will have a huge match between napoli and milan, this is an important game for milan becausse they need to win to keep their fourth position and they will be facing napoli again in the champions league so if they manage to beat them in the serie A it will give them a huge moral boost but with milan recent poor performance i do not have high hopes for them against napoli.
I don't think Milan can do anything, they are totally weak Napoli now has victory in their pocket for all intents and purposes and this allows him to play with so much pleasure and strength Yes, I almost forgot their schedule in the Champions League and with a schedule like this, then of course Milan are under a lot of pressure at this moment. Even though Milan will only play against Serie A team in the Champions League, but because the opponent is Napoli who is currently having good domination, of course this match will be a difficult match for Milan. Also, because Napoli's position in Serie A is very secure, it is likely that Napoli will only prepare the team more for the Champions League. But because in this Serie A match Napoli will play at home, then of course Napoli will not accept being beaten by Milan and that way, Napoli will continue to play well so as not to lose at home. |

In the next matches I think there are very interesting matches and those matches are the match between Villarreal against Real Sociedad and also, the match between Atletico against Betis. These teams are currently competing in at least the top six, so this match will certainly be an important match for them.
It is difficult to predict for sure because all of these teams have a good chance and/or ability to win in that match, or maybe they will have the same final result with one point. But what is crucial may be about Real Sociedad, because if for example Real Sociedad loses by Villarreal and then Betis wins, then it is likely that Real Sociedad's position will be taken over by Betis. But yes, at the same time Betis won't be easy to beat Atletico, because Real Sociedad and Betis are both playing away in this match.

I was reading it today in the morning when i was making me ready for work and it was an unexpected surprise news with Nagelsmann got fired.
There maybe for sure some things behind the scenes that we dont know , how the management and Nagelsmann maybe got some other point of views.
And for sure the place at the moment where Bayern Munich is right now on table with all that high quality players can also be thing for it.
Tuchel will be a good option for them and he has shown that in Chelsea for a long time.
Yep, we cannot know the clear reason for Nagelsmann's dismissal because it is possible that there were some who were not raised to the public about internal matters but this is clearly shocking news amid their condition which is actually still quite good. It's just that there are indeed a number of conditions where Bayern this season is slightly different from last season in terms of dominance and this possibility could also be one of the reasons why he left now. Also, Nagelsmann's contract is still very long and Nagelsmann still has a contract until 2026. With this dismissal, it can be said that Nagelsmann coached Bayern Munich in only one and a half seasons. I think it's been a pretty short coaching career for a Bayern Munich coach because normally, Bayern Munich always have coaches for a long period of time but that wasn't the case for Nagelsmann. I think one of the reasons for Nagelsmann's dismissal seems to be about Bayern Munich's dominance and or performance this season which is unsatisfactory. Because the board seems to really want Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga to be unbroken or maybe, Bayern Munich has a target of being able to beat Manchester City in the Champions League. |

Even though Real Madrid and Chelsea are big teams, but at this moment I don't get a good opinion of Chelsea. So, even though this is a big match, but I am very sure that Real Madrid will still win this match to qualify for the semifinals.
Because usually, when there is a big match, the choice will be difficult, like the match between Bayern Munich v Manchester City, this match makes us not gain full confidence to choose Bayern Munich or Manchester City. But for Real Madrid, I have complete confidence that Real Madrid will still win in the first and second leg.
Real Madrid is a ahead of Chelsea this season no doubt, but you need go back to check what happened in their recent meetings in champions league just in the past two seasons, You would see that Chelsea have got a brilliant performance against Madrid. Despite the fact that Chelsea is not really in their good form in premier league, Still they were able to win Dortmund and got qualified. So as Champions League seem to be their only trophy hope this season, I do think they're gonna come out to play with full strength against Madrid. Even though in the second leg last season Chelsea beat Real Madrid, but the reality is that last season Real Madrid was still the team that qualified for the next round. In fact, last season Chelsea's performance was in good performance with Tuchel, but Chelsea still failed to get rid of Real Madrid for the second time in the last two seasons. Also, at this moment you can compare Liverpool to Chelsea. If Liverpool looks better than Chelsea, but in fact Liverpool does not have the ability to beat Real Madrid. So, what about Chelsea basically this season not being any better than Liverpool, then I think it's clear that Chelsea won't be able to do much to beat Real Madrid. |

Napoli vs AC Milan will be the next match, for Napoli this match may not have an impact on their position, it's just that a win will bring them closer to the championship ladder. As for AC Milan, this match will be very important because it will determine their position in the standings table. If they lose it will worsen their position, as they will likely be dropped from the top 4.
If Napoli wins, then it's no longer about getting closer to winning the title, but Napoli has indeed been confirmed to win the Scudetto this season. Not only that, even though Napoli lost this match, but Napoli's position is still safe to remain at the top of the Serie A standings. So yes, this match is indeed an important match for Milan, because Milan really needs point by point to be able to stay in the top four. But unfortunately, to get points in the match against Napoli is certainly not easy for Milan, and Milan must be able to accept a big risk in this match because it is likely that Napoli will continue to play with a target of three points. |

Manchester united will find it very difficult to get a point from Newcastle's home and to me looks likely that Manchester united are gonna experience another defeat after their recent 7-0 lose to Liverpool side, which shows how weak the team is right now. If Newcastle had continued with the kind of form they started with towards the beginning of the season, comparing weather Newcastle will beat United would have just been obvious. Man United is still trying to recover from their worst defeat so far and I'm not expecting much from their side.
United are not weak, but when they lost to Liverpool, of course, there was a mistake in strategy and the squad didn't play well. United have made quite a lot of improvement, but they haven't been able to play consistently. and against Newcastle, we still don't know how Ten Hag will prepare his strategy and squad for that match. for Newcastle, this is an important point, because with the winning points they can have hope for a Champions League ticket next season. The fight for the other 2 tickets after Arsenal and Man City will be quite exciting. we'll see how it goes at the end of the season. Well, is Manchester United as weak as you imagine? If Manchester United is as weak as you can imagine, then why didn't Manchester United get beaten again after losing by Liverpool 7-0? Also, if Manchester United were so weak, then I don't think Manchester United would be third in the Premier League at this moment. At the same time, Newcastle is in an unstable performance and if I compare it with Manchester United, then of course at this moment Manchester United is still better than Newcastle. So, even though in the next match Manchester United will play away against Newcastle, but I personally believe Manchester United will not lose and either a draw or Manchester United wins I'm sure it can still happen. |
