Real Madrid should focus on Copa Del Rey and the Champions League. But Madrid should not be too worried about the Copa Del Rey final. I don't think the opposition Osasuna team is very strong. If Madrid's performance is stable, they can become champions of the Copa Del Rey.
If they want to win the Champions League title, Madrid will have to focus completely on the Champions League matches. Madrid had a great performance in the quarter-finals. They will likely play against Manchester City in the semi-finals. It will not be easy for Madrid to play against Guardiola's team. Moreover, Haaland is in very good form. Manchester City can't be beaten if they are not fully focused and in rhythm.
. . Real Madrid's main goal is the Champions League title, it has been proven once again. Real Madrid's performance in La Liga is not very good. They lost points in several matches. However, Real Madrid's performance in every Champions League match is outstanding. Madrid is able to dominate every match. Madrid won both home and away matches against Chelsea 2-0. However, if Madrid faces Manchester City in the semi-finals, it will be difficult for them to win. I'm looking forward to the Ancelotti vs Guardiola match. Of a truth Real Madrid's current most important mission is to retain the Champions League title and also win the spanish Copa Del Rey and that's understandable because of the fact that they're 7 points behind Barcelona in the league standings. But one fact that everyone seems not to be talking about is that we still have 9 la liga matchweeks before the end of the season which means that there are 27 points to hunt from a the 20 clubs and if Barcelona loses their weekend match against Atletico Madrid and Madrid wins their own league match, they'll be separated by just four points with 8 games to play. I know Barcelona would do anything possible to win the league this season but a Real Madrid's treble is still mathematically possible |

I was expecting a much better game from Napoli, I was disappointed. Milan played very well, we have to give their due. The wind seemed to be in favor of Napoli when Giroud missed the penalty, but when Giroud scored a goal just before the end of the first half, the morale in Napoli broke down. Yet they tried so hard to return. Kvaratskelia failed to turn the penalty into a goal. If that goal had been scored, Napoli would have had enough time to find the second goal. Osimhen scored a great header but time was up for Napoli. It's necessary to congratulate Milan, they deservedly passed the tour. We can say that the experienced side wins.
Napoli actually played well but one thing was that Ac Milan were prepare for the second leg. They were aware of the unexpected and expected and attack all through while being conscious of their defense. Honestly I’m proud of Ac Milan, they deserves alot of credit with the manner in which they approached the game. They were very organized and played as team, both defensively and offensively, something which Napoli lacked in both encounters. by falling behind on aggregate in the first leg, of course, Napoli will only think about playing attacking and being more aggressive. because if they drew or lost, it would mean nothing. even in the second leg Napoli also left earlier. Milan put up an unbeatable defense. Osimhen needed more than 90 minutes to score. and it did not produce the result that Napoli had hoped for. both teams have shown their best. and the results are congratulations to all who support Milan. After the UEFA Champions League quarter final ties were drwan and Napoli were made to face AC Milan, Napoli were favoured by almost all football faithfuls to comfortably eliminate AC Milan from the competition and thereby making them believe AC Milan would not be very difficult to beat. Even after AC Milan sent early warnings to them of how good of a team they are by beating Napoli 4:0 in their league before the Champions League tie licks off, Napoli still didn't do much to heed to the warning and tactically make some some changes that'll bring a better result and that is why they were eliminated. |

I will say in all the top known clubs in EpL, Chelsea is the most unlucky in this. With a poor result in the last match in EPL, they're still losing woefully in the champion league which seems to be their last hope. Chelsea is now brought low to the stage of not being able to score a single goal against Real Madrid. Chelsea has failed to prove themselves as the defending champions of the title. With what I'm seeing, I'm doubting that they will recover by next season

I was hoping Napoli will be different this time but what I'm seeing is the reverse of my expectations. Napoli is still not playing like they need a win in this match. They are already one goal down and that is not good for them has they will now need to score two goals in order to be on a winning line. Milan seem to be favorite in this game. They are leading with an aggregate of two goals yet pressing tough bottens too score more. Napoli is out of this tournament, they should face the serie a title.

The absence of Victor Osimhen in this Napoli team was the reason for the poor results in recent matches and now that he's back, he's surely gonna provide more attacking options for the Napoli's teams and improve their performances in their games to come.
Trailing by a goal to nil from the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter final tie against AC Milan, Napoli knows that they must win tomorrow's match by a two goal margin to progress and that I think they're capable of doing. AC Milan would not want to be eliminated as well and with the advantage they have already going into the match, it'll take an extraordinary performance from Napoli to eliminate them
I'm not even seeing osimhen as major factor here... I meannn, he can't Play alone in pitch, can he? So he still needs support as a striker.. Now the problem is that Napoli haven't got a brilliant striker to fit in Osimhen's position perfectly... Without a good striker and a couple of good flankers too, how will they be able to get away with a goal so easily like when Osimhen plays in pitch with them?? Napoli will be playing against Milan tomorrow and ofcourse we'll expecting them to try Thier possible best to win on this.... mostly Since Milan isn't on fine form. Sandra 🧑🦰 Napoli as we speak is not suffering from poor performance in the flank, their main problem is finishing. Several crosses are wasted, no good attacker to convert them to goals. when Osimhen was active in the team, every other attackers ( Mario Roy, Zedadka, Serbin) we're all good. this are players who can give a good support from the flank they all performed exceptionally well as at then, and now things seems so difficult for all of them, how then is Osimhen not a major factor affecting the club's performance? |

In the Spanish League Celta Vigo vs Mallorca match between two teams, Mallorca scored 1 goal in the first 21 minutes. After that, the players of both teams tried hard to score but to no avail. I enjoyed the game from the beginning to the end. Celta Vigo team players Received 1 red card at the end of the game. Celta Vigo team players could not score any goal after playing very well.
Celta vigo was sluggish at finishing. They had pretty chances than Mallorca who became the winner in that match. I was so annoyed to watch them possess every angle of the game without getting a single goal. some days in football are like that, but I'm still disappointed in them cuz some like this is a result of bad game plan. I didn't really see the need of starting Seferovic and Miguel Rodriguez, this two guys' contribution in the game was so Miniature. May be in the next match, Carvahal will see the need to start Perez. |

The first half looked likely to be won by Atalanta even though Fiorentina had the upper hand in terms of possession and their chances were thwarted when Atalanta counterattacked and capitalized on the momentum when Joakim Mæhle scored.
Now time is running out even though at the moment it seems that Fiorentina are increasingly eager to equalize and the match is still very exciting to watch.
Fiorentina managed to equalize the score in the 56th minute through penalty yeah that's not worse than having to lose all the points Fiorentina made a lot of shots and on target unfortunately only one goal was successful even though they should at least be able to score 2-3 goals based on the shots. I was thinking that Atalanta will be able to widen their space with Juvebtus after the unexpected lose game from Juv at Del tricolore. Atalanta today did not display their best game. They Seemed to have needed a draw in today's game cuz from first half till the end of the second half they only succeeded in making just one on target attempt while Fiorentina kept on pressing them in every angle. I was thinking Fiorentina will be able to net a second goal before the end of the game but it was quite unlucky for them |

The win against Leeds with a score of 1-6 kept Liverpool's European hopes alive next season, and Liverpool are currently stuck in eighth with 47 points and nine points away from fourth-placed Newcastle which I think is difficult for Liverpool to be fourth.
Actually, as long as Liverpool is consistent and always plays better like this, this club will be safe enough. And this will lead Liiverpool keep increasing to the higher place in the standing. But, it still needs at least 6 points and more with high sequence of victory if they want to be at least in UEFA Europe league. Although it is also difficult because some of higher clubs like Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Brighton sometimes play much better than Liverpool. I new Liveroool will be winning the match but I never expected such a goal rate. Liverpool has recorded good numbers of goals this season but they still have a long way to go in terms of points. Aside from being in control of the game, Liverpool we're also able to dampen every attacking threat stored up by Leeds. So far this season, Leeds has recorded good scoring records against Top epl clubs like Manchester city, Manchester united and Tottenham but I was so much surprised to see that they could hardly locate Liverpool's net. |

I think the Bayern Munich side developed a bit of a lack of confidence after losing to Manchester City in the Champions League, which allowed the Bundesliga to draw this easy match. Bayern Munich is undoubtedly the best team in the Bundesliga compared to the opposition, yet they drew this match, hopefully they will focus on the next matches.
In the Champions League, Bayern Munich still has a chance to avenge their defeat in the previous match against Manchester City. Bayern Munich must get up and try to win so that they remain in a safe position. It requires a special strategy to be able to beat Manchester City, and I hope Thomas Tuchel can find an appropriate strategy to help them ich the upcoming matches. As long as Bayern haven't found a scoring machine other than (replacement) Lewandowski, I doubt Bayern will win against Man City in the second leg of the UCL later, even in the bundesliga i saw a very drastic drop in form at bayern. Tuchel was entrusted by Bayern's management to replace Nagelsmann's position but I see it was a hasty decision, just look at what happened with Bayern, Nagelsmann is a coach who fits Bayern very well and Tuchel will take a long time to be able to blend in with it. Before a coach is hired by a team, that team has seen the possibility of achieving better with such a coach. Tuchel already is a good coach with tactics, if at the moment he is not giving the club what they except, it still doesn't change the fact that he is capable of doing better. Bayern Munich is capable of bouncing back, it doesn't matter if there is or isn't a replacement of Lewandowsky. I think it will also depend on the effort input from Manchester city. Bayern vs man city champion league fight is not yet over |

I admit that Lukaku has had some unfortunate injuries and these unfortunate injuries have had a huge impact on his career, but I think he's having a hard time keeping his physique at a high level. I mean, he looks to me like he has a physique suitable for gaining some weight. I think Chelsea will test him in pre-season training camp and will probably want to send him to another team. Clubs at the level of Everton, Marseille, Atletico Madrid or maybe Arab clubs could be his new address next season. Romelu Lukaku physical style of football will surely diminish as he ages and that's why he's not the same Lukaku that the nightmare of defenders when he was younger than now. I don't think Chelsea's currently needs a striker of his qualities and that's why he unlikely to return to Stamford Bridge next season after his loan spell. If Inter Milan decides not to keep him beyond this season, the best option if you ask me is to go play in the Saudi League and earn a huge financial package now that his prime time is gradually coming to an end |

If Atalanta manage to win against Fiorentina today then this is going to be really bad for Juventus. Because the gap between in the standings will be 7 points and it will be much more difficult for Juventus to keep up for a spot in the Europa Conference League. I might understand the loss against Lazio a little despite that bad performance but Juventus shouldn't have played that much bad against Sassuolo which led to another loss. They just gave many chances to Atalanta to get away from them more.
However right now Fiorentina look like the better playing side against Atalanta. If they increase the level of pressure in the second half then they can manage to turn the match around. But actually Fiorentina don't have much goal left for this season so I still doubt that possible comeback. But who knows maybe they can do this anyway thanks to their amazing form in the recent times.
It's still halftime for both teams and I think even though Atalanta are already 1 goal ahead, the result is still not safe considering that Fiorentina have also had good performances in several of their matches. Maybe what will be unexpected is the comeback from Fiorentina and I'm pretty sure they can do it in the second half. Even so, the second H2H often ends in narrow wins for each team. But if Fiorentina fail to comeback then they will target a draw in this match. Atalanta has been one of the best performing club in the Italian league in the past three seasons but their performance this season has been short of their standard because I was expecting them to finish the season in any of the top four positions. If they had won tonight, they would've been just two points behind the fourth placed club. They still have some more matches play before the end of the season and with determination, a top four finish is still possible |

Manchester United's performance looks like they will do well in the Europa League. Manchester United is currently in a good place in the points table. Hopefully if they can maintain this consistency they can secure the Europa League title. Essentially, Manchester United needs to secure any title.
They unluckily conceded 2 goals in the first match against Sevilla and finished the match 2-2, but I think Manchester United will play a much more successful match in Spain. I believe that Manchester United will celebrate the next round with a win with at least 3 goals. Achieving the three goals you mentioned is a daunting task for Manchester United, with their current status of injuries. They have managed to keep a clean sheet against Nottingham Forest in their recent match, but this victory alone cannot fully define their success in the upcoming match against Sevilla. Sevilla's performance in La Liga has been average, and Nottingham Forest is already out of the EPL season due to their poor performance. I am not entirely confident about Manchester United's next match against Sevilla, I will bet on the next match as over 1.5 because I know for sure that Sevilla will score a goal and Manchester United will also score a goal under regular time. After throwing away a two goal advantage to draw at home last Thursday, it became very clear to us that Sevilla is not a team anyone can underate without regretting it. Manchester United was in control of the game in the first half of that but failed to continue with that performance in the second half and that was why they were punished for lacklustre. The second leg will be played in Sevilla and that's a ground that many people won't want to play inside against Sevilla in the Europa League but I think United can make up for their result from the first leg by winning the match on Thursday |

You're right, I agree with you Lens lost by a big margin to PSG did a bit of a disservice to their position in the points table. Now Lins will have to secure a series of consecutive victories, which will enable them to regain their place in the points table.
Lens is only one point behind Marseille in the standings at the moment and it's not a big amount for Lens to chase him back, because what is clear is difficult for Lens and Marseille to catch up with is PSG, who are currently still at the top of the standings. So Lens and Marseille only have to compete to take second place because the first place will likely belong to PSG again this season, even though the points are still possible to catch, but when it comes to the strengths in the team, I think PSG is still far more from both Lens and Marseille. Paris Saint Germain will surely win the league and I think it was expected of them from the day the league kick started and that's understandable because of the quality of players in their possession. Lens has done greatly awesome this season to keep close to PSG but I think they also know as a club that they can't stop the star studded PSG from winning the league. If the French Ligue 1 must be competitive like other major leagues in Europe, club owners must learn how to invest hugely in their squads |

What a crazy matchday on the Weekend was that , 6 draws and from that 4 wasnt expected for everyone.
Especially the game from Stuttgart against Dormund after Stuttgart got a red card in the 40 Minute and playing with 10 players.
In the same time Bayern Munich struggling against Hoffenheim and there was the chance to catch up for Dortmund.
And its also the same for Union Berlin and Frankfurt , at least i got the Schalke game right , damn .
Was very surprising especially Dortmund and Bayern Munich, even though they did not face a much better club than them, but their performance was very disappointing in that match. Especially for Dortmund, the superior number of players did not make them play more coordinated and fortunately Sehrou Guirassy's goal was disallowed by the referee, so that Dortmund avoided defeat. The Bundesliga league is getting more competitive entering week 29 and so far it is difficult to predict who will emerge as champions, considering they are only two points away from the leaders with second place. We didn't enjoy any of the games at all, because as far as I can see they have wasted a lot of chances. The result of last weekend's Bundesliga matches is something a lot of people never predicted and even during the match of Borussia Dortmund against Stuttgart a lot of people thought Dortmund will comfortably win the game after their opponents were reduced to 10 men. Bayern Munich knows that it'll take a great miracle for them to do a comeback against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League quarter final second leg and should've won their league match to increase their chances of winning the league but they failed to do that and would definitely battle hard to stop Dortmund from overtaking them in the league standings in the remaining weeks of the season |

Liverpool's performance isn't certain this season... I won't bet money on them even if I had the ballsiness to do so...
Leeds are one of their worst enemies ......
Indeed, their performance has been very inconsistent. Sometimes they play really well, even to the point of slaughtering opposing clubs with quite a lot of scores, like this time they won from Leeds with a score of 1 - 6. They were very productive this time. however, sometimes they play very badly, even losing to a small club or not being able to win even though they have more chances This is very inconsistent. try if they are more consistent in a better game every competition, I'm sure if they can be in a higher position in the standings. Liverpool's inconsistency this season is somehow difficult to understand to me and that's because of how they do convincingly win any match they've won this season. After their first league match against Man City at Anfield early in the season, I was thinking they were gonna be a major contender for the title but their poor performances in numerous league games have left them struggling to make it to Europa League spot at the end of the season. Their result tonight against Leeds was great but can they build use it as a motivator to finish their season in great fashion? Time will tell |

Two games without scoring for barcelona team, they wasted four points on easy games but thanks to the huge lead they have it was not important but i assume a lot of gamblers lost money because of that it seems that by securing the title already the players are going easy and their games are high stakes anymore which is why the performance downgraded xavi need a solution to motivate his players.
This games should have been easy game for Barcelona to get full points to add to their points but they missed it, it is not funny for Barcelona to keep on losing to teams that is suppose to be an advantage to them. For sometimes Lewandowski has been finding it so difficult to score goals. Barcelona's match result yesterday was disappointing one to to the club despite their 7 point difference between the Catalans and second placed Real Madrid and the frowned face Xavi Hernandez after the final whistle yesterday sums it. A win in their yesterday's match would've taken them to 9 points clear but they blew it away. Many football fans thought that they'll win the league with ease after defeating Real Madrid in their last league meeting and establishing a 9 points gap but at the moment there might be some rethinks and if they fail to win their next league match, we might experience an entertaining end to the La Liga season |

Napoli without the osimhen & Kvaratskhelia duo playing full time un the recent matches since 19 march were really bad downturn ... in the last 4 matches they are losing it two times draw once and win it for one time only after the whole season they are nearly become invincible . Osimhen absence really make a huge impact , this time he is ready to play 90 minutes in a crucial match against ac milan who leading 1 - 0 at the frist leg of UCL , i bet napoli will still fail. Personally I think the second leg is really unpredictable. Napoli will certainly play Osimhen from the first half, it will definitely increase their strength in attack. While the two teams have comparable chances even if Milan lead the first leg with a victory. I would not fully think Napoli will fail, but I tend to think Milan can advance to the next round this season. Anyone can still qualify from this quarter-final stage, but perhaps what is less interesting is that we will again see two Serie A teams likely to batlle in the semi-finals. Inter is very likely to qualify, so one between Napoli and Milan will meet Inter in the semi-finals. The absence of Victor Osimhen in this Napoli team was the reason for the poor results in recent matches and now that he's back, he's surely gonna provide more attacking options for the Napoli's teams and improve their performances in their games to come. Trailing by a goal to nil from the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter final tie against AC Milan, Napoli knows that they must win tomorrow's match by a two goal margin to progress and that I think they're capable of doing. AC Milan would not want to be eliminated as well and with the advantage they have already going into the match, it'll take an extraordinary performance from Napoli to eliminate them |

I was impressed with Manchester United's performance yesterday doh Nottingham was just another cheap club for United to crush yesterday and the chances of United scoring more than two goals were all saved or kicked away but even at that am impressed, and Arsenal underestimated west ham and they did arsenal dirty if not for my love for arsenal I was angry at yesterdays performance I just expected more from them, and Liverpool playing against Leeds today is already a sure victory for Liverpool and am sure salah is going to score am certain of that.
Manchester United won the match yesterday against Nottingham Forest but they didn't give their best. It seems that Manchester United attack is getting weak since Rashford injury. The only player at the attack putting up pressure and playing excellent football is Martial. Others are not upto average. In the other hand, I do not blame Manchester attackers much because Nottingham Forest goalkeeper was excellent. How come such a keeper is in Nottingham Forest. The club I saw him last was PSG. Is he in a loan deal or full transfer? Rashford has been a significant figure in Manchester United's attack. The effect of high dependency on him is what you saw in their clash against Nottingham Forest. The boys did great, Notternham's Forest'sexceptional defense in that match should be put into consideration before judging the poor performance of MU's attacking line. The boys did great, we should be worried about Sevilla cuz As it stands now, the 3 points yesterday have already given MU a secured position in the EPL standings |

Juventus lost too, they played with second-line players to save them for the following week where they will find,
2nd leg Europa League, Napoli, and Inter in 7 days.
Juventus is very strange because Sassuolo should be a very easy team to beat considering Juventus' strength is already good enough, but in this match they lost and disappointed many of their fans. Juventus have lost in the last two matches, and there is no chance for Juventus to get up and be in the top five. Juventus were not just lucky in the game , it is not even as if their performance was bad. Juventus just see's it so difficult to score goals and Juventus will be meeting with sporting in europa league, if they still find it to score goals it will be big problem for them They were not licking and that's in term of securing a goal but as for not being able to defend, that's a complete ly different thing, and it's enough to say that their performance was bad. That wasn't the eve of performance that was expected of them. Juv haven't won in their last 2 matches and this has closed their chances of getting onto the top 4 area cuz there will no longer see such chance. Sportingas we speak is a better team to Sasuolo, with such performance against sporting I'm not expecting too much from them in the Europa league. |

And there is the 1-0 for Sassuolo. That is not good for Juventus, which also has a match in the Europa League this match. Maybe all those games too much in a row. And next Thursday they also have to play for the Europa League again, then there are few rest moments that way of course. It is difficult to compare the competition seriously for Juventus, since there are 15 points from Juventus have declined and you therefore get an incorrect reflection of the balance of power. Even then, Juventus managed to collect a decent number of points.
I was expecting the game to result like this after seeing and analyzing the performance by all the teams who are still in the Europe competitions. Napoli, Bayern unich, Ac Milan, inter Milian, all had a bad result result and this could be as a result of resting players in preparation for their European matches. I won't be surprised if the match doesn't end in favour of Juventus. But it's quite unhealthy to their position in serie a standing cuz close today will widen their proximity with Atalanta. |
