If I consider their position in the standings, then it seems that Rennes will not be easy to beat Clermont. But yes, that's only based on their current position in the Ligue 1 standings, but basically Rennes does have better quality so of course Rennes has a better chance of winning.
Also about Lille, after the World Cup break the fact is that Lille is unbeaten but on the contrary with Brest who have lost consecutively. But it looks like Brest are not lucky enough, because Brest have to play against strong teams like Lyon and Monaco and in today's match Brest have to play against Lille.
What's more, Brest's position is in the relegation zone and faced with the favorite teams in succession, so of course it is hard work for Brest.

In general a team is about the many people or players involved, but if the topic only says about Lewandowski then that's fine. After all, he also doesn't say things like "with Lewandowski, Barcelona are great", if he says like that then at least it's difficult for us to accept that too.

But if it's about Lewandowski is a great player then of course I will admit it but unfortunately, I think Lewandowski playing at Barcelona is not the right choice. Because if I compare it with the gameplay at Bayern Munich, then Lewandowski in Barcelona is still not completely great.
Because the team's gameplay is still not good at Barcelona, even though Lewandowski is La Liga's top scorer at this moment, the reality is that achieving that for Lewandowski is still not as easy as playing at Bayern Munich.

If an offer comes from a big European club, then I think Sheraldo Becker has to accept it. Because he is already 27 years old, Sheraldo Becker should be able to play for a better team because it will be useless if Sheraldo Becker has good quality but there is no more appreciation from Union Berlin.

What's more, Sheraldo Becker still has a long contract until 2025 and therefore, if Sheraldo Becker really wants a better future then Sheraldo Becker should be able to accept offers from big clubs. Because choosing to stay with Union Berlin is also still a gamble, because in the future they won't know what will happen.
Because if later Sheraldo Becker's performance declines, then there will be no more big clubs interested in recruiting him and of course that will be something that will be very regrettable.

I also think that making him more aggressive in attack will still have a risk, because when Napoli played against Inter, the fact was that Napoli could control the game. But unfortunately, with this strategy at least made Napoli less good at defending, so that Inter could take advantage of these mistakes to convert them into goals.
What's more, Juventus this season have been very good in defense, in that way Juventus can lure Napoli to play more attacking and Juventus will take advantage of quick counterattacks to score goals. But apart from that analysis, it seems I'm pretty sure that this match won't have many goals and in fact, I'm also pretty sure this match will end in a goalless draw.

Do you believe that if Dortmund focus on the Champions League and then, do you think Dortmund will be able to go further and even reach the Champions League final? I personally really don't believe Dortmund can do this, because to compete in the Bundesliga alone, the reality is that Dortmund cannot be a strong team.
What's more, the opponents in the Champions League are teams that are very consistent in building their teams to be better in all competitions. So no matter how much effort Dortmund put into the Champions League, the reality is that they will never achieve the best results. Instead of them focusing on the Champions League which of course will only be useless, it would be better for Dortmund to focus again on the Bundesliga to be able to finish in the top four.

How do you know that Xavi will be sacked if Barcelona don't win any titles this season? Because I'm sure no source says that and in fact, Xavi still has a contract to coach Barcelona until 2024. So, I'm not so sure about Xavi's dismissal, because Xavi also only has a fairly short contract as Barcelona coach.
Also about Lewandowski and Benzema this season if they are compared, I think it is not quite right because Benzema himself is not fully fit this season because of the injury he has experienced. So Lewandowski doesn't have a strong competitor this season in terms of top scorers.

It looks like Inter didn't play their best in the match against Parma in the Coppa Italia because even though Inter have good ball possession, but Inter don't have many attempts to score goals and also don't have many shots on target. But fortunately Inter were able to score before the end of the match and in that way, Inter were able to score the decisive goal in extra time.
If Inter loses in this match then Inter will be eliminated from the Coppa Italia event, even though at this moment Inter has the status as the defending champion because last season Inter won the Coppa Italia title. So yes, with this victory, Inter can advance to the quarter-finals and the opponent that Inter will face in the quarter-finals later will be the winner of the match between Atalanta v Spezia.

After all, I also said maybe, you are fixated on big teams with club history in the Champions League, so even if some of them are not fans of certain teams, at least they will choose famous teams, right. Well, therefore, I say about Benfica's performance so far this season in the Champions League which is so impressive.
So their choices are not only big teams with good history in the Champions League and in local leagues, because there are still dark horse teams that really cannot be underestimated at this moment. What's more, the seeded teams also don't fully guarantee good results in this Champions League, so all teams have their own opportunities.

But if Newcastle are really going to play in the Champions League next season, then surely Newcastle must have some experienced players as well and not all young players. Because what is worrying is, they or young players are not good enough to control their emotions when playing in a competition that is higher and full of prestige.
But yes, after all, if Newcastle really has a lot of money to build a good and great team, then surely Newcastle must be able to have a first-line player and a second tier player who has good quality. Because that way, when they get a busy schedule and difficult opponents they will still be able to rotate well.

Anyway, Verona is indeed a team that seems to have experienced a decline in performance this season, because if we realize that Verona can sometimes provide strong resistance to big teams in previous seasons. So the victory after beating Cremonese I think is indeed a decent result for Verona because after all, Verona can basically still survive in Serie A and won't be relegated because their qualities are also different.
About Atalanta, that Atalanta does have a good record when playing against Bologna, it's just that Atalanta's unstable performance in the last few seasons has made it difficult for Atalanta to get good results in every match. So this victory is indeed the result that should have happened, because basically Atalanta is a team that is quite considered as a strong team in Serie A.

For me, these two teams have performed equally well this season, so both of them still have a chance to win and advance to the next round. But unfortunately, because last season Barcelona was knocked out by Eintracht Frankfurt, this is a doubt for Barcelona at this moment.
Unless Manchester United is trending unfavorably, then of course Barcelona will still be the favorites to win. But because these two teams are currently improving, especially in their respective local leagues, I will continue to believe that these two teams have the same chance to win because both are big teams which are certainly not weak teams that can be easily beaten at this moment.

If no one is judging about how Newcastle have made such incredible improvements, then they know nothing about what has happened so far for Newcastle. Because of course it is very clear that Newcastle have improved from last season, because at first Newcastle were only at the bottom of the table and then being able to finish the season midway through the table then that is also a tremendous improvement.
Also, it doesn't matter whether Newcastle can end the season in second or not because the most important thing is, with Newcastle able to finish in the top four whether it's third or fourth is of course still a good position for Newcastle. Because then, Newcastle will get even better players because they will also play in the Champions League next season.

Even though Juventus played poorly at the start of the season, the fact is, Juventus are very good at playing at home because so far this season Juventus have never lost when playing at home. Therefore, because playing against Napoli is an away match for Juventus, I am not completely sure that Juventus will win or beat Napoli.
But if I consider the draw result I think it's certainly still a result Juventus can do, and even though it's only getting one point I don't think it's a big problem either. Because with Juventus being able to return to the title track, that is enough for Juventus to prove their quality as a strong team in Serie A.

A draw for the match is not a decent result for Bilbao, because Bilbao can really control the game by winning in many statistics. With the victory from the statistics that Bilbao has, then Bilbao should be able to score at least one goal and win three points in that match.
But indeed, the draw is worth it for Osasuna because they can play with good defense and discipline. But for Bilbao, who are playing at home with such a good statistical advantage, a draw is not a decent result for Bilbao. But yes, maybe that is indeed the limit of Bilbao's abilities, maybe they are still not so good at making the final finish.

Even though Sven Ulreich can play well, I think that still won't make Bayern Munich stop looking for a new goalkeeper, because even though Sven Ulreich can play well, in reality Sven Ulreich is old. With this old age, of course Bayern Munich will continue to look for younger goalkeepers because this regeneration also needs to be done from now on.
So yes, I personally believe that this will still be done by Bayern Munich and it is only a matter of time and it doesn't matter if Sven Ulreich continues to play for the rest of the season. Because it seems, Sven Ulreich is also approaching the time to determine when he will retire.

Well, maybe you're all hung up on the big teams and also their good history in the Champions League, but I think it looks like this season might be very different. If you follow the results of the group stage, then I think there will be one team that can also be considered at this moment to be able to go further.
Those teams are Benfica who did very well in the group stage and even, PSG which you would suggest to be a candidate to reach the final. But in reality, PSG couldn't beat Benfica at all in the group stage so yes, I'm sure Benfica at this moment can be a team that is difficult for seeded teams to beat.

It has been proven that Bilbao is not strong enough to continue to compete in the top six, because basically Bilbao is a team that always competes in the middle of the standings. So this draw is not something to prove whether Bilbao is a strong team for Osasuna or not, because basically their quality is not much different.
Although indeed, if we consider the statistical results that occurred in this match, it proves that Osasuna cannot carry out many attacks. Because with Bilbao continuing to attack and have good ball control, it worked to make Osasuna not have many opportunities to make attempts to score goals in this match.

But I think Juventus will likely do the same gameplay as Inter when Inter beat Napoli. Indeed, the results of winning or losing and or also a draw cannot be guaranteed to happen for one of them. However, taking into account the fact that Juventus have conceded the fewest goals so far this season.
So it seems that in the match against Napoli later, it looks like Juventus will implement a more defensive gameplay and only use counterattacks to threaten Napoli's defense.

At least the gameplay was also successfully applied by Inter to beat Napoli, especially Juventus, which this season has a reliable defense for moments like this.
So yes, I think the match could end in a draw or maybe Juventus win by a narrow score as well. But even if for example Juventus wins, I think Napoli will still be able to stay at the top of the standings unless Napoli can no longer be consistent in winning, then of course their position is very threatened to be taken over.

Basically the matches in the Champions League are matches which are certainly interesting, especially since the Champions League has entered the knockout phase or at this moment they will play in the round of 16. So of course for me personally all matches are interesting matches even though indeed, there are several non-seeded teams that also qualify for this phase.
But they are still worth considering, because when a team has reached the last 16 in the Champions League they are the best teams to qualify from the group stage.

But speaking of the opening match as you mentioned, it's clear that they will be more looking forward to the results of the match between PSG v Bayern Munich. Because the two teams are teams that really dominate their respective local leagues, it's no wonder this match will be a more interesting match.
But if I can predict, I think if PSG can play all their key players especially regarding Messi, Neymar and Mbappe then it looks like PSG will have a better chance of winning.

As far as I can remember about Sevilla, they also got out of the relegation zone before, but unfortunately, Sevilla still can't be consistent to keep getting good results from every match. So, I think with the victory that Sevilla got by beating Getafe, I personally am still not so sure that Sevilla can continue to stay away from the relegation zone.
But yes, because for the next match it looks like Sevilla will play against a mediocre team, then maybe that will be a big chance for Sevilla to win with three points.

Because for Sevilla at this moment they only need to win points consistently, because if Sevilla still can't be consistent to continue to earn points, then Sevilla's position will continue to be dangerous because it is close to the relegation zone.
About Barcelona, I personally am not too satisfied with the 1-0 win, because it would be great if the match had a few more goals because the tension in that match was also very high.
