Successfully securing tickets to appear in the UCL is a big achievement for a team like Girona, they amazed us with their consistent performance in leading the top of the standings. Girona impressive performance made us remember Leicester City journey in the Premier League, where at that time they succeeded in making a fairy tale come true. However, Girona luck is different, and the challenges they face are also different, because if Madrid is still consistent, it will be very difficult to write a legendary story for a club like Girona.

Of course Michel and his squad deserve applause from all football fans, the hard work and mentality shown by Girona is something rare for today elite competition. With the minimum squad depth, Michel was able to bring his squad to compete with three other elite La Liga teams, Madrid, Barcelona and ATM. You could say, Girona will be able to secure a ticket to appear in the Champions League next season, and what is more important than that is that Girona has succeeded in changing its status, from a mediocre club to a dark horse in La Liga.

I agree with that, it's not a big problem if Girona doesn't succeed in winning the championship trophy at the end of the season, what's more important for them is the process of becoming an elite club and being able to challenge for champions in the future. We'll see how Girona restarts their struggle after being defeated by Madrid, they will face Bilbao in Week 25.

In the midst of Lyon inconsistent performance this season, they occasionally make surprises which make all bettors lose money, because most parties see Lyon as a weak club that cannot possibly beat Nice. In fact, I myself predict that Nice will not lose points, or at least the maximum result that Lyon can achieve is a draw. Contrary to all predictions, Lyon managed to secure full points with a narrow score of 1-0, an additional point that kept Pierre Sage squad away from the degradation zone.

Performance Nice is increasingly declining, there is no longer a story to reduce the difference in points and put pressure on PSG at the top of the Ligue 1 standings. If PSG manages to end the match with a win over Nantes, then PSG and Nice will be 14 points apart. Therefore in my opinion, in the remaining matches ahead, PSG will continue to walk alone at the top of the standings, without any Ligue 1 contestants who can disturb them in winning the trophy.

The only interesting competition is the fight for a place in the Champions League zone, where Nice, Lille, Monaco, Brest and Lens will compete for one place. Returning to the beginning, Lyon might be able to penetrate the top 10 of the standings, if they are able to continue to maintain their level of play. Nice has the opportunity to lock in a ticket to the UCL,if it is able to break the negative trend, and create a turning point in performance again.

The competition for the top four in the EPL standings this week was very interesting, where Liverpool and Arsenal managed to secure full points in a fantastic way. Liverpool managed to slaughter Brentford 4-1, according to predictions from many bettors that it would be an easy match for the Reds. Furthermore, Arsenal appeared more cruel than Liverpool, where they slaughtered Burnley 5-0 without mercy. Meanwhile, we just have to wait to see how Manchester City finishes the match against Chelsea. If Man City fails then Arsenal has the right to sit in second place in the standings, before Man City plays a postponed match against Brenford.

On the other hand, the battle for places in the UCL zone was also very dramatic, Tottenham had to swallow the bitter pill at home after being defeated by Wolves. As a result, Ange squad had to give up fourth place in the standings to Aston Vila. Unai Emery fleet managed to steal full points when they visited Fulham headquarters, an additional 3 points made them successful in overtaking Tottenham.

Apart from that, I won't miss the big match between Man City and Chelsea, the lineup has been confirmed. Both teams fielded the best squad considering the importance of pocketing the additional three points.

I support your opinion, the initial purpose of gambling is to have fun, to spend some of our free time to unwind from the various work activities we are involved in, that's all. Don't put yourself under pressure, let the money you lose go, and don't expect to be able to get it back from the gambling table.

Motivational encouragement from people closest to you or friends who have repented from the world of gambling is really needed. Consulting with an expert is indeed more advisable to stop gambling addiction. Apart from that, self-awareness is an important point if you decide to stop, in my opinion it is more effective.

I admit that gambling is very adrenaline-inducing, the pleasure we get is very different from other activities. However, it is also necessary to set limits to save us from major losses, and not to neglect our responsibilities if we are the head of the family, this is a very important thing to pay attention to.

We can only hope that both of them can perform and take part in the upcoming 2026 World Cup. It does sound a bit unreasonable, because the age of Ronaldo and Messi becomes a challenge that the coach must consider. Calling them back to the national team is an obligation, because if not, the national team coach will be criticized. However, on the other hand, calling them also raises other risks, where it is very unlikely that both players will be used as substitutes only.

Apart from the two megastars, of course we want to see new potential young players emerge in the upcoming World Cup, who can steal our attention and not just be limited to Messi and Ronaldo. Like Mbappe and so on, I think that's a special attraction in the World Cup.

Indeed, it is a fact that cannot be denied, that Roma has not been able to achieve the consistency that was expected. We understand that De Rossi still lacks experience, unlike Mourinho who has had success in various competitions. I think De Rossi can bring Roma to develop even better in the future, we'll see how the second leg turns out.

On the other hand, Mourinho also had difficulty stemming excessive expectations from fans, where fans hoped he could deliver success in Serie A and the European League. Now De Rossi looks like he will experience the same thing, but it is more difficult for him to do so because he is just starting his career.

I think Roma decision to fire Mourinho cannot be blamed, they understand better what the team needs, and appointing De Rossi is also not wrong, it's just that fans need to be a little patient waiting for De Rossi performance.

Mbappe, with his potential, has made rich clubs fight to win over his signature. Where PSG wants to keep him for a long time and Madrid continues to tempt him to be willing to come out and anchored to Santiago Bernabeu. What worse is that we very rarely see situations like this, I mean the player with the highest transfer value leaves for free. How complicated the problem facing PSG is, and how lucky Madrid will be if they succeed in teasing it.

Speculation about Mbappe future really makes us bored, because it has been very protracted and continues to make us polemicize about his future. All decisions are in Mbappe hands, and one thing I am sure of is that he will go to the club that offers the highest salary, as stated by his Mother who also doubles as his agent.

The bargaining power possessed by Madrid really dazzles the eyes of all football players, where Ancelotti fleet seems to provide a guarantee that they can win the Champions League trophy every season. Mbappe is faced with a delimatic position at the moment, he could go to a club other than Madrid, and all of these possibilities are quite open to happening.

It would be a dream come true if Leverkusen could bring home three trophies this season. It true that Xabi Alonso fleet is currently on that path, they are very favorites in the Bundesliga, Europa League and in the DFB Pokal. If Leverkusen ends the season by winning the treeble winner, then Leverkusen management must take the initiative to make a statue of Xabi in front of the BayArena stadium.

I actually quite like the Bundesliga competition this season, where Leverkusen rise and their invincible record have erased the stigma of football fans who think the Bundesliga is very boring. If they continue to maintain this record, it will be very difficult for Xabi and Leverkusen to surpass their achievements in the future.

Kane has actually really helped Bayern in boosting the team performance, he has joined the right club, if he fails this season Kane still has a chance next season. It is very possible that Bayern dominance will be broken this season, but we'll see how Leverkusen completes the remaining matches in the second half of the season.

I agree with you, however Nice statistics show that they are more consistent than Lyon. Ambition to compete closely with PSG is already too late, their chances of winning a trophy are very low considering the point difference that has already formed. Beating Lyon and securing full points can reduce the gap with PSG, but the fact is that currently Nice is 1-0 behind Lyon. There is still a chance to turn things around, although it won't be easy.

The first half has finished, and Nice must maximize the second half to secure full points, Lyon seems to be starting to show a revival. Lyon ambition to get 3 points is very reasonable, they need it to stay away from the dgradation zone. If Nice fails, it means that their performance is indeed declining, and Monaco has a big opportunity to overtake their position.

There is still one more half to get things going for Nice, and Lyon will likely play defensively to maintain their lead. The statistics in the first half in terms of ball possession were not much different, but Nice still led in terms of shots on goal.

Speculation about Pioli future has been circulating for some time now, as you said, Milan management seems to be considering what Pioli can offer this season, if he can bring home the championship trophy (European League), perhaps Milan top officials will keep him in the season. front. Antonio Conte is rumored to be taking over Pioli role next season, however, it seems there has been no official confirmation from the club or Conte himself.

Milan spent a large budget to recruit players last summer, with Pioli expected to compete for the top of the Serie A standings this season. However, this failed to be done, that was the factor that sparked rumors of Pioli dismissal, and the factor that Milan failed to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League became another important note. Of course Milan management knows better what is best for the club, I wouldn't blame Pioli completely.

There are many factors behind a club not being able to retain a manager for a long period of time, of which failure to compete and win trophies is the most important thing. It could even happen the other way around, like Napoli parting ways with Speltti, after winning the Scudetto last season.

I see that Barcelona is moving in the direction you mentioned, Barcelona management strategy in transferring players is a trick to save budget but still prioritize player quality. Like the way they recruit players on loan, and also the way they promote young players from the Lamasia academy. If Barcelona management releases most of its key players simultaneously in one transfer window, then their performance will definitely decline drastically next season.

Maintaining player transition is a surefire way to keep the team performance stable, the impetus of the financial crisis they are experiencing means that Barcelona doesn't have many options. However, if that is the best way, fans must accept it gracefully, sooner or later Barcelona will rise and emerge from the financial crisis.

The media is the mouthpiece of psychological warfare, instead of raising rumors about players and league rivalries, they also like to muddy the waters, that's how they work in the football industry. Personally, I think Barcelona would be better off focusing on promoting academy players, giving them playing minutes and encouraging them to break into the national team will make their sales value soar, like for example Lamine Yamal.

Manchester City opportunity to overtake Liverpool at the top of the standings is very open, but with the condition that they are able to secure full points in the match against Chelsea. A match of fate, of course Manchester City's fate is more interesting to pay attention to, because Chelsea fate this season is very tragic. Acting as host makes Pep fleet chances of getting three points easier, because they will get full support from their own fans.

If Pep manages to finish the match against Chelsea by securing full points, then the next scenario is to finish the postponed match against Brentford and have to secure full points again, to shift Liverpool from the top of the standings. The key to this success is in the match against Chelsea, Pep must be fully alert if he doesn't want to lose points, or be tripped up by the Blues.

Regarding Arsenal match against Burnley, I agree with you, that the Gunners can easily steal 3 points in the away match. Burnley needed a miracle to pull off a surprise, and their ambition to escape the degradation zone again had to be postponed. Arsenal is waiting for Man City and Liverpool to make mistakes, Arteta definitely doesn't want to swallow the bitter pill at the end like last season.

By looking at the performance of Napoli and Barcelona this season, there is a possibility that the match will end in a draw. Napoli is a little lucky because they will act as hosts, but Barcelona is not an easy opponent to beat, maybe in terms of strength they are very balanced with each other. In terms of squad depth, Barcelona is still superior because it is more evenly distributed, unlike Napoli which emphasizes Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia.

Personally I would avoid betting on this match, because both teams are very difficult to guess. Napoli reputation in Serie A can be a reference, as well as Barcelona's achievements so far in La Liga. It's fair to say that betting on this match requires caution and consideration.

However, I tend to think that Barcelona can win, because in terms of mentality and experience, the Blaugrana are much flashier in the Champions League than Napoli. Xavi and Mazzarri will clash in strategy and will experiment to bring their respective teams to the right path, we'll see how last season's two champions clash in strength.

In fact, only a few clubs are interested in recruiting Benzema in the future, especially European clubs. Where they will prioritize young players, even though we know Benzema has abilities that have been proven in any competition. Another challenge faced by teams interested in recruiting Benzema is the size of the transfer and salary. Judging from the perspective of Benzema age, they would be better off prioritizing recruiting potential young players.

I see that Benzema adaptation period in the Saudi Pro League did not go smoothly, even though Al Ittihad has provided luxurious facilities and a large salary, this does not necessarily mean that Benzema can unleash his full potential. It is reported that Benzema has a dysfunctional relationship with the coach, which makes them sluggish in defending the championship trophy.

It was rumored that Benzema would leave Al Ittihad, several clubs linked to him were Man United, Lyon and Madrid, but now these rumors seem to have subsided.

Tuchel looks like he will fail to present a trophy for Bayern this season, Leverkusen already leads the standings by 5 points. I predict that Xabi fleet will continue to be consistent until the end of the season, and so far their unbeaten record will continue. The decline in performance experienced by Bayern makes it easier for Leverkusen to achieve its goals, it is very likely that Bayern dominance this season will be broken by Leverkusen.

Kane presence really helps Bayern front line, but he can't do much to support the team alone. Recently, Tuchel fleet seems to have lacked ambition when playing, looking very sluggish, not like in the first half of the season. Tuchel must be able to restore the team spirit, if he doesn't want his managerial chair to be shaken, Or he could even potentially be fired if Bayern degree fasting.

If Bayern fail in all competitions, then Kane fate will be very unfortunate, he really hopes to be able to lift the trophy at the end of his career, at least once. Even though we know that Kane chances have not been lost this season, Leverkusen now has a big chance to get on the podium and lift the trophy. Apart from that, I think Bayern chances of turning things around in the UCL are still quite big, because they will be playing at home.

Ajax move to end the season by winning the UEFA Conference League trophy seems to be facing a difficult fate, currently they are 2-0 behind Bodo/Glimt. I don't expect them to experience another setback, and if they fail in this play-off round, I think Ajax management will have to completely overhaul their squad next season. The match is approaching the end of the normal minutes, and I think Ajax will find it difficult to turn things around or achieve a draw. Failing to capitalize on the opportunity to win at home, it looks like they would be better off bringing back Ten Hag to the team to help them shake off their title drought this season.

I think PSG will not lose points when facing Nantes, Rennes and Monaco in Ligue 1. There are no serious opponents for PSG in Ligue 1, and as many people predict, PSG this season will lift the trophy again. The victory over Sociedad is very valuable, because they can relax a little in the second leg with the goal margin they have recorded. The difference in points that has currently formed will be very difficult for other Ligue 1 contestants to reduce.

On the other hand, Mbappe decision to leave the club and choose to emigrate really disrupts focus, where every player will feel the loss of the star. Luis Enrique must be able to maximize Mbappe talent, to help him fight in the Champions League, this could be Mbappe's last season. Apart from that, in the second leg, I think PSG will also be able to beat Sociedad, even though the match will take place at Sociedad headquarters.

Sociedad's chances of turning things around are very slim, they need a miracle to do it. I predict that Enrique will be able to take PSG through to the semifinals, but it really depends on who their next opponent will be in the quarter-finals.

A good journey for De Rossi in the Europa League, Roma did not suffer a defeat and also did not manage to win, Personally I think he deserves appreciation for the draw. Roma has a big chance to win in the second leg, Where they will act as hosts. Lukaku has been a good loan for Roma front line, So far Lukaku has scored 15 goals in all competitions for Roma.

On the other hand, i really enjoyed the game where both teams traded attacks, there were lots of opportunities for both teams which failed to convert into goals. If De Rossi can manage his squad well in the second leg, Roma will definitely advance to the round of 16. But we'll see how the second leg will go, the intensity will definitely be very high.

Apart from that, Mourinho shadow is fading day by day, new hopes are emerging for De Rossi existence. it would be good if De Rossi submitted a request to club officials to make Lukaku status permanent from his parent club Chelsea, because what is certain is that Lukaku will not return if Pochettino is still the head coach of the Blues next season.

I think so too, only a few managers are willing to accept an offer from Barcelona management. It is easier for Barcelona to look for young managers, Who need experience and are ready to take any risks, most top managers demand large financial costs to build a squad. Rijkaard and Ralf Rangnick are reportedly attracts interest in Barcelona management to become Xavi successors, with the complexity of the financial problems experienced by Barcelona, It seems that the two managers will think twice about accepting the offer.

On the other hand, even though Xavi has thrown in the towel by resigning before his contract ends, Xavi still has an obligation to take Barcelona further in the Champions League. Apart from that, Xavi must also lead Barcelona to secure another ticket at the end of the season, finishing in the top four of the standings is Xavi current priority. The setback experienced by the Blaugrana made it easier for Madrid to dominate La Liga, ATM also had the same fate as Barcelona, and the presence of Girona adds to the fierce competition.

Of course it is very interesting to look forward to the second leg at the Allianz Arena, it would be very surprising if Lazio managed to eliminate favorite club Bayern Munchen in the round of 16. There is indeed a possibility that Bayern can turn things around, Tuchel fleet does have experience in carrying out such comebacks, but that will not be achieved if they play with the same style as yesterday. Of course everyone was shocked by Bayern defeat, and Lazio did an excellent job.

But the impact of Bayern defeat to Lazio was huge, if they managed to advance to the quarter finals, we would be hesitant to bet on their victory. I think yesterday many people experienced defeat, because they were so confident that Tuchel could bring home victory from Lazio headquarters. Tuchel must be having trouble sleeping and is confused, because of the pressure he is receiving in the Bundesliga and Champions League at the moment.

On paper, everything is still possible for Bayern, but when you see Mario Sarri fleet playing effectively defensively, Bayern will definitely find it difficult to make a comeback.
