Making a big gap from Madrid is certainly not easy because it is possible to win they are capable of it but the problem is ensuring Madrid don't get points clearly difficult in my opinion especially in this case Madrid are also still playing very well until now regardless of how their performance was without the benzema yesterday they still played really well with the matches they kept going.
Of course Madrid also doesn't want to give up the current title race, so it's not easy to get away from Madrid's pursuit.
Real Madrid surely doesn't want to give up to win the title. They must struggle until the end of the season. Moreover, with the current situation that they are only 2 points left from Barcelona, the chance to win La Liga is still very open (very possible). It is strange if Real Madrid gives up now, this is something impossible to happen. I am sure Real Madrid players will be more motivated to win every match, they know Barcelona is still possible to miss points because there are many matches left. What they need to do is to win every match and get 3 points, and they must defeat Barcelona in the next El Classico (on matchday 26, March 2023). Its clear that real Madrid will not give up the title, the gap is really small and we still have more than half a season so it's very early to talk about the winner but what i can say that Barcelona will make the impossible to get the title and save the season because European league is not a big deal for them and they will not make much efforts on it |

Am doubting if the Brazilian coach Tite will chose Gabriel jesus ahead of Richalison at the world cup, because he has been using richarlison ahead of the arsenal players prior to the world cup,richarlison has more good chemistry with neymar,Raphinha,vinicius junior and paqueta, starting Jesus will cause change but jesus is a good player also,if you even consider form then Jesus should be starting because he is having an extraordinary season with arsenal right now.
Gabriel Jesus has been out-of-form for a long time actually. It has been nearly two months since he scored the last time. This makes me doubt his performance at Brazil but let's see. Actually his being transferred by Arsenal is still a good thing because he is able to find more chances in the starting eleven. His general performance so far has been still quite decent. If he makes use of this opportunity in the World Cup well then he might come back stronger to Arsenal. Although they are still doing well about scoring goals they would make use of Jesus being more productive for their title run. Brazilian team have a little problem in the 9 post but I don't think this will be a big problem since their other players like Neymar and vinicius jr will make the different, also having players like Neymar an vini in your side will make scoring so much easier so i don't think this problem will affect the team |

Ronaldo is the most talked sports person on the internet now, while everyone is angry about the whole situation, I think he deserves an accolade for his bravery and being able to speak up. I believe he even spoke the minds of some other players and some other members of the staff and hierachy. It looks like the club owners are comfortable with the current condition, poor facilities, not enough infrastructures and poor performance. Ronaldo will always remain my hero.
A player merely needs to be brave and confident to tell the public about such a significant issue in the team. Yes, he must have spoken the opinions of others and been more well-liked by them, but he gave little attention to the repercussions. However, a player like Ronaldo has nothing to lose because he has achieved so much and will continue to be influential in the world of football no matter what he does or says. I believe that Ronaldo made a horrible decision by playing for Manchester United again; he did it out of love and compassion for the team. A player has to have the courage to say something that shouldn't be in a team, I mean of course they have to say something with facts and without being based on dislike for the team. And indeed what Cristiano Ronaldo said is felt in the body of Manchester United now. Indeed, his actions created new problems, but we must not cover up things that were indeed visible, and I think everyone who disagrees with what Ronaldo did, but they must also feel that there is some point, it's just that Ronaldo took a little wrong step. The problem with Manchester united is not with an individual player like Ronaldo, but the management of the club have had some issues right before the end of last season, and with that Ronaldo just become a factor that inflicted more crisis as a player, Ronaldo has every right to speak out when he suffers and abuse from the club. Ronaldo is not a small player whose rights can easily be abused by coaches or managers, but as a star player, Ronaldo stood to fight for his right. Ronaldo should immediately leave Manchester United and join another club. Ronaldo should join a club that will give him more respect and opportunity rather than going to a big club. But my personal opinion is that Ronaldo's football career will not last long. Ronaldo is ending his career by himself after the very bad comments about Manchester united, this team gave many opportunities to this player and he should respect this and appreciate the team whatever the conditions, this way no one will respect him in the future |

The Champions League is a league full of challenges for all teams including Liverpool this season. Currently Liverpool is ranked sixth in the Premier League standings and Newcastle is ranked third in the standings with 15 matches that have been played by Newcastle. The point gap between the two teams is also quite far, namely 8 points, so this makes it a little difficult for Liverpool to catch up with Newcastle, who are not far from fourth place at the moment.
Comparing Liverpool with Newcastle is somehow. Newcastle is not below forth position, it is the thrid as he presently overtook Tottenham, maybe for now. Between are Tottenham and Manchester United. You are not wrong that the point between Liverpool and Newcastle is 8, but that is not still a big point difference at this point if Newcastle loss form and stop playing good, but provided if Liverpool is playing very good. Also is the fourth position which is Tottenham for now that is even below Newcastle. Between Liverpool and Newcastle, I see Liverpool's performance better. The Newcastle team has played well in the last few matches but currently their position is not favorable. Liverpool, on the other hand, are in great form with all their players taking responsibility. The difference of 8 points is not a big deal, as long as Liverpool can improve their performance, moreover, they have one game less than Newcastle. But, if Newcastle can also remain consistent, then the difference of 8 points will be difficult to catch. The Premier League still has a long way to go, so I think there will be several teams whose performance will experience ups and downs. In addition, with the tight schedule and physical fatigue (especially after mid-season and toward the end of the season), the potential for injury will be even greater and this of course will affect the performance of the team. Its true that 8 points is not a big deal but there is more than one club that will try hard to keep the lead, this will make their road to trophy almost impossible, i believe it's very hard for Liverpool this year to get the trophy but they must at least improve their position |

Barcelona should be patient and work with what they have, they are not in the best place financially to be making big signings. I think Barcelona already have a good team on their hands and Xavi just need a little more time to get to know these players and work with them. They just need to work together as a team and create that team spirit amongst themselves, I think that should be a solution to improving their performances in every game.
Since Barcelona is not very buoyant I don't think their will be any need for them to buy more players, the players Barcelona has are okay for the club, they are professional player's. All Barcelona needs to do is to work hard. With players like Lewandowski, Raphinha and other top players Barcelona is good to go . All they need to do is to work hard to perform well always, they already have a good squad I don't see any reason to buy new players when their is no much fund. Barcelona squad is not bad at the moment and i believe xavi will focus on what he have more than trying to bring new players, having more good players is always good but Barcelona situation will not give many solutions to the coach |

Without Lewandowski, Bayern Munich's performance has deteriorated significantly. Bayern Munich's gameplay and match tactics remain the same. But now they perform more cautiously than before. At the same time, without Lewandowski, Bayern Munich is having some problems scoring goals. But their performance does not deteriorate much. They are consistently able to score goals and win matches. But Bayern Munich needs a suitable replacement for Lewandowski.
Bayern Munich still has very skilled players such as Jamal Musiala, Serge David Gnabry, Leon Christoph Goretzka, Mathys Tel especially Serge David Gnabry who managed to score a hat trick so without Robert Lewandowski he should still give his best game and have to win against various opponents. But when you compare the team performance last year and this year you ca see a clear deference, it's true that bayern munchen still dominating the bundesliga and doing really well in the champions league but i feel that lewandowski left a big gap in the club and j don't think it will be easy to replace such player, he is now the player number 1 in Barcelona and ge really deserve it |

I feel like Inter could end up with giving Napoli their first loss. It's clear that Napoli is doing a lot better than Inter, but it is clear that Inter has the better team. Sometimes you could have a roster on paper that is better than everyone else, but that doesn't mean that you will have a better club in the results, because a better team could play worse if there is something wrong and Inter has something wrong which means they are not doing good every game.
I don't think so. How can you conclude that Inter has a better squad/team? Inter may have more popular players, but Napoli has most players who played on fire (at their best form). The quality of Napoli squad is also good, it is clearly seen by their best achievement both in UCL and Serie A. Because Napoli players are on fire, I believe they are difficult to defeat. Although the match will be held in Inter home, I don't see it as a big problem for Napoli squad. They are unstoppable now and they are in their best condition. The only thing to make a problem for Napoli is when most of their key players are injured. We are talking about facts now, if indeed Inter's quality is much better, it is impossible for them to be far behind Napoli now. Napoli are currently in good shape apart from their players they also have more vision so indeed they continue to stay away from the pursuit of other teams and even lead comfortably with a considerable difference (8 points). Napoli have a very good squad and msny underrated players, i don't think that there is actually any team un Italy can catch theme not just because the gap between them and the second spot is very big but also because the players are so determined to get the missed trophy for Napoli, the serie A became more interesting after many years of Juventus dominance we can finally have some fun |

I don't think it's the right time to sack Simeone as coach, it means Atletico Madrid really need to support him better to survive and make this team perform better in Laliga. Thanks to Diego Simeone, Atletico Madrid have been seen as a good team in Laliga for more than 10 years and Diego Simeone has proven that with his team's 9 Champions League participations since his contract in 2011.
No one doubts that Diego Simeone is a great coach. Yes, he is also a loyal coach, he has managed Atletico Madrid since 2011. Atletico Madrid will be difficult to find his replacement if they fire Diego Simeone. I think the solution is to reconstruct the squad, Diego Simeone must buy some new players in the next transfer window. Atletico Madrid needs new players, especially for the defense line. For midfield and attacking line, they actually have some quality players. Simeone only needs to improve their motivation to play better. Simeone is a great coach and i don't think that the problem problem of atleteco is in the coach, but the team need to find new players asap because the squad is really need fresh blood, simeone is one of the best coaches in the last 10 years in my opinion and i don't imagine atleteco without him |

I have seen a video that Ronaldo's picture being removed from Old Trafford. Some news sources say that it is for the Rugby Championship but I don't buy it.  It must absolutely be related to Ronaldo's interview about his Manchester United days. Because he has told everything about what has been going on so far. As far as I have heard, he said that he wasn't going to respect ten Hag from now on as well. Things are getting more heated between Ronaldo and the club day by day now. This won't end well for Ronaldo that's for sure. I think he would definitely leave at the earliest opportunity in January. The interview created unnecessary tensions between CR7 and all of ManU staff, the coach and even his teammates who didn't appreciate the way he expressed his opinions in the interview. I believe CR7 took the decision to leave and he is forcing ManU to let him go the bad way.. Now he whether leave or stay in a cold storage there, not even in the benches imo. It might end up worse than Gareth Bale situation with Real Madrid, in terms of game played of course not the money earned while doing nothing  As a Manchester united fan i never thought Ronaldo can said something like this about Manchester united, its clear that there is many good players in Manchester united squad this year that really deserve a chance and im not seeing anything wrong in the fact that Ronaldo is not playing regularly, we can't deny that ge is 38 years old now and the coach should give opportunity to young players in the team because they are definitely the future of Manchester united |

Bayern could have a good mentality, but we have seen last year that the mentality they have doesn't really change anything when it comes to win or go home games. Sometimes they can win it all, sometimes they can lose to easy teams, which means that they are not doing that amazingly when it comes to elimination or at the very least, we could say they are not doing that consistently, and they could be amazing or terrible and we do not know which one it will be.
This year they look fine, but we have to wait and see what happens, plus the games will be way down the line, we have world cup first, then some league, and only after that teams will play their UCL games so we have time.
Bayern Munich's performance last season was really poor, I could hardly recognise the Bayern Munich of old days when Ribbery, Robben and Lewandowski dominated the league and helped Bayern Munich stay top of the league for long years. They are doing much better this season atleast a lot better than the previous season, we can only hope they can maintain this form until the end of the season both in the Champions league and in their domestic league. Their mission in the champions league will be very hard of course because of the next opponent Paris saint Germain, this club have a very good attack with messi Neymar and mbape and im pretty sure they will be able to score in both matches, if they can beat Paris i think they will go far on this competition |

Newcastle having been unbeaten in their last 10 games in the premier league and they won hattrick of the awards this month, Almiron won best player for the month and also best goal of the month while their coach, Eddie Howe sealed best coach of the month. Their fans chanting gloriously to their winning streak and they will continue like that after the world cup. But I'm shock about the position of Newcastle in the top four, they're trying striving to qualify for the champions league next season.
Its been a good run of games for Newcastle united, a run which has seen them play top 6 sides already before the worldcup break. If Newcastle keep up their pace; they are well on course to get an european spot finish in the league this season. A massive job done by Eddie Howe in just less than a year I must admit that Newcastle are a different team in the league this season, since the take over they have shown signs of positive improvements from the new and top signings coming in to their consistent good games and results even against the league's top clubs. This is so far the best form they have been in very long years. Can they finish in this top level? We shall find out after the break. They are doing great right now yes but the question is if they will manage to keep the good result for a long time, usually in football many weak trams start the season very well but they failed to keep the good result and that's what may happen to Newcastle this year, let's see what the team will do after the world cup break |

Looking at Group F seems interesting. Although I am sure that many people will predict Belgium and Croatia who will qualify for the next round. But remember Canada and Maroko also have good players. The Canada team will be with Alphonso Davies, Jonathan David, Tajon Cuhanan while Maroko Hakim Ziyech, Archaf Hakimi, Noussair Mazraoui, Youssef En-Nesyri. I think these two countries have a chance to make it difficult for Croatia and Belgium because Belgium and Croatia are currently filled with a lot of old players. Maroko seems to be the surprise of this group, they have really many good players in their squad and the team is very determined to do something good in the world cup after many failures in the previous competitions like world cup and Arabic cup, this is a very interesting group and it's really hard to predict the top 2 teams |

Freiburg and Leipzig's current situation in the league is quite familiar to me. Because we witnessed their nice competition on the last weeks of the previous season for the fourth position in the standings. Now they are doing the same for the second position.
To tell the truth, Leipzig have a better quality when we compare their squads. They have the potential to be more consistent unless they lose their concentration. Each one of them is competing in another European tournament so the conditions are equal. But I still think Leipzig are more likely to finish the season ahead of them. As for a title race I don't think so. Bayern Munich started to play as usual so it wouldn't be too hard to open a big gap with others for them.
I agree with you, regardless the very good result that the two clubs already did but i believe liepzig will be ahead of them because the two clubs don't have the required abilities to keep the good result for a long period of time, but liepzig can make a long run of good results and that's what will make the difference |

Milan are a little underperforming comparing to the previous season and I wonder the reason. I'm aware of Napoli's unbelievable form but Milan could have still been right behind them by a small gap. They are the victim of losing points in some easy matches of them. On the other hand they have some missing players due to injuries also - such as Saelemaekers, Gabbia, Florenzi, Calabria and Maignan. Saelemaekers is a really important part of this team now. His skills were a big help for Milan last season. Tatarusanu is a really old goalkeeper (36) and he has conceded 12 goals in 12 matches in total so far. Maignan's absence is really felt at this point. Maybe he has similar stats but he is a much better goalkeeper with his great saves also.
This break might be good for them to get prepared better for the other half of the season. They will just hope for not having serious issues with injuries after the World Cup before anything else.
Napoli is unstoppable right now and i believe even if milan are in their best format i think ust hard to catch Napoli, its true that they are behind them with a big gap but milan this season still a strong team but unfortunately for them it's very hard to catch Napoli right now |

Now everything is good for Barcelona especially in Laliga. Xavi has given Barcelona the best even though they haven't had much luck in the Champions League. Barcelona and Xavi must evaluate the many things and weaknesses in the Champions League and fix them so they don't make the same mistakes for several ongoing competitions.
I think Xavi already evaluates their mistakes in UCL, they should forget UCL now and take good lessons. They must focus on La Liga and Europa League, they still have an opportunity to win the title in these competitions. So, no problem that they failed in UCL, but they don't do the same mistake in La Liga and Europa League. I don't think Xavi deserves to be sacked by Barcelona for losing the Champions League. Xavi needs time to restore Barcelona's glory because there are actually a lot of problems to be solved there and they can't be solved in just one season. I trust Xavi, it's the best way to keep supporting him.
It is stupid if Barcelona management plans to fire Xavi. Xavi has done a great job for Barcelona, he reconstructed Barcelona squad successfully. He even has a big chance to win La Liga title now. It is very very different from Barcelona condition managed by the previous coach. About the failure in UCL, I think Barcelona was just unlucky this season. They can try again in the next season. Just give more opportunities to Xavi, he gradually makes Barcelona stronger. Xavi definitely don't deserve this and i think Barcelona is so much better than before xavi, it will be a wrong decision if the administration decided to fire him, xavi is a legend for Barcelona and he really did great job so far, if the administrations put trust on him i think he will make very good results in the incoming years |

This season is the worst run for Chelsea, losing 4 games in a row is a really poor for Chelsea. When Potter arrived I was so sure he was the right man for the job of reviving the club back to good form but that seems not to be the case in recent games which definitely puts so much pressure on Potter to either get the results or risk losing his job as the Chelsea manager. Thank God for the world cup break which gives teams enough time to rest and restrategice and even make new additions to the squad. I hope this helps Potter figure out the way forward.
First matches was awesome for poter but unfortunately the team started having very bad result starting from the Lose against Brighton, now they are in the 8th place with 8 points behind the champoin league spot and that's really bad for Chelsea, i believe poter need to find solutions asap before the administration take some decisions that can put him out of his post |

The battle for the second position ended with freiburg win after a really dominant performance a 4 0 score in the first half sealed the deal for them and put union berlin team in a desperate situation, with ten players after the red card they received, they seem in big trouble after being the leaders for a long time they found themselves in the fifth position and with no win in three consecutive games they need to find what the problem is before its too late.
It's true that they lost their position because of the previous bad result but the Gap between the first and the 5th is just 7 points at the moment, I'm not saying that Union Berlin can fight for the title but all clubs in the lead almost same number of points and that's what make the bundesliga liga this year more interesting |

Very important win for Juventus wish make them in the third place with 2 points ahead, the team show really good signs comparing to the start of the season but unfortunately its too late for them cause Napoli is unstoppable and it's almost impossible for Juventus to catch theme, but anyway it's still a good recover and the must continue at the same rythem

Real Madrid are in good form and good spirit at the moment but with all these said,we forget to ask ourselves this question which is "isn't it possible for Madrid to fall out in the last lap and lose the title"?
IMO I think injuries can make them go slow,losing games when it matters the most.
Looking at that team,they are good but if there are no fresh legs to make some of the regular starters to rest it could cost them badly, because if you look at it this way almost all the first 11 are starters in their national side.
I think by January the manager has a better plan to either get like one or two players in or have to deal with what he have.
Real Madrid mission to conserve the title will be really hard in my opinion, the team must avoid losing any point to catch Barcelona at the first place then keeping the first place, Barcelona already out from the champions league so they will surely make all the efforts to win la liga title and that's what will make their mission even harder |

what a dramatic win for manchester united, a good assist from eriksen was put to good use by garnacho in the 94th minute, although he did get a yellow card for his undressing celebration lol.
Man United almost got a draw result (1-1). Luckily, Garnacho scored 1 goal in minute 90+3, so Man United won 2-1. Getting a yellow card is no problem, scoring 1 goal is more necessary. Once again, Garnacho showed us that he deserves to play regularly in Man United senior team. This young man is very potential to be a superstar in the future, he is still 18 years old and he already contributed very well. Man United must keep this player, don't let him move although there is a big offer from top teams. Manchester united manage to win again after the EFL cup dramatic win against Aston villa, this win make them ik the 5th spot with one match left to play and this is pretty good when you compare with the team performance in the first matches of the season. |
