In the latest match between PSG and Lens only Mbappe was able to play among the amazing trio. This was also a factor in PSG's losing to Lens there. Of course PSG should still be able to stay powerful but they don't have a consistent season I'm afraid. Now in this match Mbappe and Messi both will be available to play. I think this duo will do a really good job with a big responsibility.

They have nearly full responsibility about making PSG win this match one way or another. Because this match is really important for PSG obviously. If they win today they will make the gap with Lens nine points and this would be enough to seal the deal for PSG on the remaining seven match weeks. Lens also need to win this to keep their championship chance more alive. However I think PSG have a really favourable odd to bet on and they won't upset us this time.

Manchester City are literally unstoppable in the recent times. It is valid for the Premier League and Champions League both. Haaland's impact on this situation is very big as well of course. He is really a goal machine now and his performance against Bayern Munich in the second half was also incredible. But I wouldn't like to show it like only he is playing very impressively. The team effort is really enormous now.

Maybe this might not be enough for the Premier League title anyway as long as Arsenal don't start making bigger mistakes. But this high effort can really be enough to achieve the Champions League title for the first time. Guardiola also wouldn't like to leave his job before achieving this title to complete the collection. They just need to keep this discipline level until the end.

Nagelsmann seems like the biggest candidate for being Chelsea's permanent manager in the summer. Chelsea just chose to postpone their decision about this by bringing Lampard as caretaker. But they will need to make their final decision about who will manage them next season after his time runs out here. Chelsea need to be really careful about their choice this time. They shouldn't choose another Potter I mean.  

The kind of manager they need is an experienced one with big teams. Nagelsmann qualifies for the job as it seems. Because he has a history with Bayern Munich and it isn't a bad history either. Maybe things didn't go just in the way they wanted in the Bundesliga this season but they were still the leader. After his journey there ended I think Chelsea can seriously think of agreeing with him for the job. I like Nagelsmann's style and he can do well with Chelsea too.

It was a really problematic match for Juventus honestly. Sporting were playing really comfortably despite playing as the away side. They had numerous goal attempts throughout the match. But Juventus still somehow did their thing and got a 1-0 win at the end. This was a really classic Juventus to me. Especially after they get ahead first it becomes harder to answer them and make a comeback later on.

Sporting seemed like they could have done it in fact. Because especially in the stoppage time they wasted an unbelievable chance. The goalkeeper Perin's two consecutive saves were amazing and so critical for keeping this 1-0 score to the end. Juventus got a really important win before the second leg for sure. But this won't be enough for them either.

Because their performance wasn't good enough. If they don't improve this then Sporting can eliminate them as well.

I'm really hyped about Leverkusen's insane effort in the league recently. Because their recent winning streak has helped them a lot about reaching the sixth place. I mean this team were having quite big struggles before Xabi Alonso arrived here. Even after he came I doubted their performance honestly. Because Xabi Alonso didn't have any experience with a big team in his management career. There wasn't even so much time passed since he started his manager career.

But despite everything he managed to break down the prejudices for me. His performance with the team so far has been really amazing. They were near the relegation field but now they have a spot for the Europa Conference League. They aren't even far away from the 4th place - 5 points.

Considering that they are the most in-form team in the league now I would love to see them fighting for a place to join the Champions League as well.

There is a quite big difference between the odds of Real Madrid and Chelsea for the win today. Its being played in Santiago Bernabeu is also like an extra factor in this gap but even if it was in Stamford Bridge I would have still gone for Real Madrid comfortably. There is still a quite big power gap between these teams currently. Real Madrid are in quite good shape these days when it comes to scoring multiple goals in a match as well.

Benzema's being in-form is a big factor in this of course. He made two hat-tricks recently as you might have heard and this situation can be really useful for Real Madrid tonight. Him and Vinicius Junior are like their biggest cards against Chelsea in this match. I don't think Chelsea have a good defending style as well. As a result a really tough match is waiting for Chelsea tonight.

It would be quite shocking to me if Chelsea somehow get a draw here. 

You know that Inter have been pretty unpredictable in the Serie A for many weeks. They lost so many matches and this made me doubt their performance against Benfica in the Champions League as well. But we watched a little more different Inter there. I wasn't even positive about Inter to win that one honestly. But the final score was a really advantageous one for Inter. It looks like they are focused on the Champions League much more than the Serie A these days.

But while doing this they should still be careful about the Serie A as well. Because they are one of the teams with the least chance to win the Champions League title eventually. They shouldn't care much less about the Serie A otherwise they will risk their Champions League ticket quite a lot. They are already out of top four now and a couple of teams are fighting for the same goal as well.

Real Sociedad were a really impressive team at the beginning of the season. They maintained a really good effort for a long time in the season as well. But after some point we started to witness a big downgrade in their performance. They were quite away from Atletico Madrid in the third place but now they have changed roles. Because Atletico Madrid have been much more consistent than them for so many weeks. They have even been unbeaten in this time period.

I know that this isn't a very good comparison. Because there is a significant difference between the squad qualities. But Real Sociedad still have had a more successful season than Atletico Madrid actually. Because Atletico Madrid are a team with much bigger goals. But they haven't been able to get very close to those goals especially for two seasons. However Real Sociedad are right behind them despite having a really bad form during the season too.

Tottenham are close to finishing another season without a single championship. This must be really annoying for especially Kane. Because he is like a superstar in this team and he is still doing his best for Tottenham to be successful. Even in matches Tottenham struggle as a team Kane still continues to score or make assists. He has had so many of his beautiful years with Tottenham so far.

However this is really unfair for him as he still hasn't achieved a big success with the team. I know that they had an achievement like qualifying for the final round in the Champions League. But they still can't win any title which is the most important point. If I were in Kane's place I would think of signing for a more promising team.

Manchester United and Bayern Munich might be in line for him this summer but let's see. 

Currently Manchester United are in a really great shape compared to Sevilla. They are really likely to finish the season in the area that they can qualify for the Champions League. This makes me think about whether they would care about the Europa League the same as well. But considering their effort in this tournament so far I guess they really want to go for the title at the same time.

In the end they can have one more title together with the EFL Cup one this season. Sevilla isn't a big obstacle for them currently on paper. Because Sevilla aren't the one we know right now I'm afraid. They are normally the dominator of the Europa League and a usual part of top 4 in the La Liga. But their performance this season is a huge disappointment.

Because of that I just wait for Manchester United to destroy them in Old Trafford already and finish the matchup early.

According to some news Chelsea are wishing to keep Joao Felix for a longer time after his loan ends there. He hasn't been able to show his skills very much so far though. But I don't want to put the blame on him anyway. Because Chelsea are playing poorly as a team now. This season is already wasted for them and the players don't make a huge effort from now on in the Premier League.

But Felix is still a quality player so I understand Chelsea about keeping him. But as far as I know Nkunku will also be a part of this team in this summer. There would be quite a competition between these players if Chelsea sign Felix as well. I don't even know whether Atletico Madrid have plans for Felix. They have Depay now though so maybe they would lean towards selling Felix for a reasonable price.

I wasn't expecting this to be very comfortable for Manchester City honestly. I was waiting for them to win here but a 3-0 result is much more than the expectations. Bayern Munich are normally a very disciplined team but even they couldn't stand still against this Manchester City. Especially the second half performances determined the fate of this matchup. Haaland wasn't very effective in the first half but he was the star of the second half with a goal and an assist. It must be feeling nice for him to score against Bayern Munich after a while.

Manchester City really want the Champions League title this season. I can't wait to see them playing against Real Madrid in the next round as well. I guess Real Madrid would eliminate Chelsea also like they did to Liverpool.

I also believe that the match versus Newcastle won't be easy for Arsenal. I would like to remind you of their match in Emirates previously. Arsenal had a really big superiority to them there though but this was still not enough to be the winner at the end - it ended by 0-0. Now we are going to watch Arsenal play against them in an away match. This should technically be more difficult. If Newcastle weren't in a good shape then it wouldn't be a big deal.

But now Newcastle are even at the third spot in the standings currently. They are playing very dedicatedly for a ticket to join the Champions League. They are doing this incredible job despite the average level squad they have. Arsenal don't have any luxury to underestimate them for sure. The most difficult match is the one against Manchester City maybe but Arsenal can have difficulties against Newcastle too.

Folarin Balogun is a target for Milan now. He looks like a really good talent by the way. He didn't have much chance in the Premier League while he was playing for Arsenal. He played for the youth team most of the time and Reims loaned him until the end of this season later on. However he has been shining really bright in the Ligue 1 for a long time. He scored 18 goals in 29 league matches so far. He is actually a quite consistent striker now too.

I even thought if Arsenal would think of keeping him as a good alternative for Jesus in the team after his loan ends. But they already have Nketiah for this duty. Nketiah isn't better than Balogun though. But on one hand Balogun needs to continue to have many chances like this to improve his game more. He is still quite young so I think it would be better for him to sign for Milan after this season.

Union Berlin still hold a big advantage in top four despite the loss against Dortmund. Actually they wouldn't have lost that match either if they were able to defend their opponent better. But their defending was quite weak against Dortmund which was the main reason why they conceded those two goals as well. From now on they are more away from the title competition in the league.

But I don't think this is very sad for the fans or the board. Because Union Berlin are already having a dream season now and they are getting closer to the Champions League group stage day by day. Finishing in top four would be a great success for them already. They are like Bundesliga's Newcastle if you know what I mean. 

I think this can be the most important season for Manchester City to become the champions in this tournament. Because they have Haaland from now on and his performance so far has been amazingly effective. He was like a missing piece of a puzzle for the team. Now they have an insane level of scoring strength. Bayern Munich can have quite difficulties in defending especially him.

Of course Manchester City aren't just about Haaland. They have a really solid team play and the first leg is in Etihad as well. Manchester City have a significant advantage which is how it seems to me now. Bookmakers don't see a huge difference so the odds are really close. But I'm still choosing Manchester City to bet on here. It might not be a very comfortable one maybe but they can still win this one.

I really liked watching Atletico Madrid in this match. They played really effectively during the most part of the match. The first goal was a really comfortable one thanks to a counter-attack. The second one was also by a nice header after a corner kick. They already finished off their opponent early in the match which was the only thing they needed for becoming the victor at the end.

Vallecano's getting a red card turned things to a nightmare for them really. But they still somehow managed to score at least one goal and that was the most impressive goal of the match too I think. Oblak had a really decent match generally but he was really desperate there against that shot.

Inter are still maintaining their horrible form in the Serie A. After losing three weeks in a row I thought they would be able to finish this bad series by defeating Salernitana. But this time they got a draw by not being able to use their advantage of being ahead until the final whistle. It was a big risk and mistake for Inter to keep the score at 1-0 for that long. They actually scored very early and captured a good advantage.

But somehow they couldn't go for more goals. Their main problem recently is with their scoring productivity. They just couldn't score more than one goal in each one of these matches. They weren't a team like this before. But these days there is something going really wrong with them. Maybe they don't have a title chance but it is still very important to finish the season in top four.

Newcastle are like in a perfect shape on the recent match weeks. They won their last five league matches and one of them was even against Manchester United. Newcastle are really pushing over limit despite having an average level squad now. Eddie Howe has done a really great job with the team so far and it looks like they have a big chance for ending the season in top four as well.

However if they finish like this and they start bringing top players to the team because of their Champions League ticket then I wonder what will happen to Eddie Howe. I mean he will have to deal with a much more powerful team in this case. I don't know if he is competent enough to handle this kind of a team. In this situation maybe the board might think of going for an experienced and more quality manager.

Tchouameni looks like a target for Liverpool in the summer. They are planning to make the team a little stronger with new transfers in the upcoming transfer window. However I don't think Real Madrid would be willing to lose one of their most important midfielders already now. Real Madrid also have big plans about the future of the team like making the team younger in the first place.

Tchouameni isn't only a young midfielder. He is a really skilled one as well. I don't expect Real Madrid to sell him under any condition for now. Camavinga and him are like replacements for Kroos and Modric currently. In the near future we will see these two very experienced players finishing their Real Madrid career. Then Real Madrid will continue with younger alternatives.
