It is clear that Ronaldo no longer wants to be at Manchester United any longer, because with his attitude that is no longer friendly, it is like leaving the match before the game is over and now making a statement that will certainly have a reaction or impact that will be caused. So with that, maybe this is a form of Ronaldo's disappointment that he no longer gets more playing time.
Therefore, it seems certain that Ronaldo will leave Manchester United in the transfer market later and as I have also said, that this kind of attitude will certainly have a bad impact on judgment and of course as a top player this kind of attitude is very inappropriate to express.

Because as a top player, Ronlado should be more able to show or show that he is able to recover even though it is a long process.
Instead of getting something desired with that attitude, but an incident like this would probably only make it more difficult to get a new team later because they were also worried about the same thing. It doesn't matter if the player is a top player with a high salary, because if his performance has decreased, of course the team or coach will not hesitate to put him on the bench more often.

It doesn't matter if Napoli can have a very wide points gap because if Napoli don't have a very wide points gap, then I think Napoli will be overtaken again. At least with Napoli having a very wide point gap later on then Napoli will win the title for sure and that will be interesting, because every season Serie A gets a new winner.
Because as time goes by, the three teams that previously won their Serie A title are slowly getting back up and will still be putting pressure on Napoli who are at the top of the standings.

Therefore, I personally hope that Napoli will be able to maintain their performance so that they continue to be strong at the top of the standings.
Because the league will continue and at least there is still a meaningful second half of the season, there is still no guarantee for Napoli to be able to win the title, unless Napoli already have points that can no longer be chased.

There is a five-point gap between Arsenal and Manchester City, of course anything can still happen, but when it comes to which team has the greater chance of winning the title this season, then I will answer Newcastle. Maybe it's a silly choice but for me it's not, because Newcastle's development is very fast I think it's something that really threatens the top position.
The reason is, Manchester City has not been so perfect so far and in fact, Newcastle started from the mid-table but now Newcastle only has a two-point gap with Manchester City.

I think it's clear that Newcastle will be very surprising this season because the team around him is not stable enough even if it is Manchester City, I still don't see their stability so far in the Premier League.
Maybe Manchester City will focus more on the Champions League because that is also their main target, so maybe they will lose their consistency in the Premier League. Therefore, I believe that Newcastle, which is only focused on the Premiere League, will at least have a more stable performance in the Premiere League at this moment to take advantage of and maximize the existing situation.

Yes indeed, their salary is indeed very large and we or maybe it's just me who are just ordinary people, think that is a very high salary for an athlete. Because in reality, every individual also has his own lifestyle and problems, which of course more or less these factors will affect their consistency as well.
Well, an example is like an expensive player like Hazard but in the end he's just more on the bench.

Factors like these make me, as an ordinary person, judge that their salaries are no longer reasonable. Also, as time goes by, of course there will be moments where a player breaks the record for the most expensive salary.
But yes, if they can be consistent it's not a problem, but if they can't contribute big to the team then of course it's a big loss.
But about Arsenal and Barcelona on paper they still have a chance to go further but yes, it's not easy and that's if I only consider their big names.

But in the end Club Brugge got a defeat which means, Club Brugge is also not completely consistent to maintain their good record in the group stage. But regarding Benfica until the end of the group phase matchday, Benfica did not lose and also, basically PSG was a strong opponent and won in quality but Benfica was able to compensate.
With this difference, of course I personally don't doubt Benfica for this match which seems to promise a definite victory.

I hope I'm not exaggerating, because I'm looking at it from a possible perspective in judgments that I think are the appropriate judgments for what happened. Because indeed, when a team is highly favored it can be an unexpected blunder.
However, I personally am very confident that Benfica will still advance to the quarter-finals, because fortunately for Benfica, they are up against a team whose quality on paper is not much different in the round of 16.

Any strategy will still work well if they have the right players to implement the strategy and also, if they are more focused on defensive lines or defensive strategies. So, of course, Atletico must have midfielders and attackers who can move quickly, because many of the mediocre teams also carry out counter-attacking strategies and the results are good too.
That is, if a mediocre team can get good results from implementing a counterattack strategy, then when this strategy is implemented by a top team, then of course the strategy will produce good results too.

Even though Diego Simeone has indeed been here for a long time and that could become an icon for Atletico as well, that doesn't mean Diego Simeone has to last forever.
Because Diego Simeone himself is still under contract with Atletico until 2024, which of course over time Atletico will have a new coach.

I'm sure, if Ronaldo plays in this match then of course Ronaldo will take a penalty kick and because Ronaldo doesn't play in this match, Bruno Fernandes is a player who is more or less likely to replace Ronaldo's role in Portugal because that also seems to be happening at Manchester United. Also, in the World Cup both Portugal and Nigeria, on paper they are indeed the team that has a better chance of winning the group.
So that in Portugal's first match against Ghana, I personally don't doubt Portugal's quality and of course Portugal will win its first match in Group H.

But about Nigeria, even though they have a chance to win when they play against Guinea Bissau in their first match, and also have a good chance to win the group.
Still, if I look at the final results of their several matches so far, Nigeria will never be easy to win the group. Because they are also not very productive in scoring goals in every match, so big efforts will of course still be needed for Nigeria if they target to win the group.

After all, Manchester United also didn't play well in the group phase matches and if Manchester United plays well, then Manchester United will be able to win Group E. Although indeed, Manchester United have the same final points as Real Sociedad with 15 points, but is that can be a reference that Manchester United is difficult to beat teams from La Liga.
Also, if we consider the quality of the players, at least Barcelona has better players in every line but unfortunately, Barcelona is still not in its best form so there is no guarantee that Barcelona will win either.

So yes, this match will still be interesting but regarding whether this match will be a high-tension match like in the Champions League, I think it will still be different.
Because in the Champions League they have big plans with big prizes too, but here in the Europa League they may only play with prestige but not a prize as their motivation. Therefore, the tension might not surpass the match in the Champions League, especially if Ronaldo leaves in the transfer window later, then the tension in this match is unlikely to be as big as one might imagine.

I don't think Liverpool can be used as a benchmark or comparison, because even Liverpool so far this season have been bad playing against mediocre teams, but great playing against top teams and it's a different situation with Arsenal. Therefore, I don't think Liverpool can be used as a comparison, and instead of Liverpool being used as a comparison, why not compare it with Newcastle?
Because Newcastle and Arsenal have been very impressive so far this season and also, Newcastle managed to hold Manchester City to a draw even with a big score like 3-3.

Maybe I think the two teams are currently performing at their best, so it seems quite appropriate to compare Arsenal to Newcastle at this moment.
With this comparison, I am also quite sure that Arsenal can still provide a difficult match for Manchester City, but to win the title this season I am still not completely sure about Arsenal.

I don't think Inter have a stronger team because even in head to head at least Inter don't dominate too much to win. This proves, even though Inter looks like they have a better squad, the reality is that Inter have never been easy to beat Napoli from season to season.
Therefore, with a situation like this where Napoli is performing well and is in a good position in the standings, then of course Napoli still has a very good chance of winning.

Also, considering that maybe there will be some changes after the season break, but I'm still pretty sure that Napoli will still have a better chance of winning. Because after all, this season is the right season for Napoli to maintain its performance.
Yes, it might still be difficult to win the match and of course it's not easy, because as a top team, of course, Inter will make greater efforts to be able to stop Napoli's run at the top of the standings. But even so, I personally believe that Napoli will not lose this match and even if Inter can play well it looks like it will only result in a draw.

I hope no one forgets or underestimates Benfica, because Benfica is also one of the unbeaten teams in the group stage. What's more, in this round of 16 Benfica will play against Club Brugge and I think Benfica is still the best when compared to Club Brugge.
Therefore, I am very confident that Benfica will be able to advance to the quarter-finals or maybe even make it to the semi-finals.

But yes, the opponents that Benfica will face in the quarter-finals are also not weak teams, because the quarter-finals are a place for big teams to compete which of course is not easy.
But if I consider Benfica who was unbeaten when playing against PSG, it seems that this season Benfica still has a good chance of advancing to the semi-finals, at least at this moment I'm pretty sure for Benfica.

Maybe the total conceded goals isn't a problem either because Eintracht Frankfurt, which is currently fourth in the standings, also conceded a total of 24 goals.
But indeed, after all it would be better for Dortmund to also improve their defense, because of course it would be very dangerous if Dortmund's defense got worse.
Because we also know that Dortmund only produces great players and then sells them, but if later Dortmund is no longer consistent in being in the top four.
So how can Dortmund have or produce great players again like before, because if that happens then the only way is to buy great players which of course is not Dortmund's way of building a team.

But yes, the league is still long after all and Dortmund's chance of staying in the top six is ​​still a pure certainty.
It's just that, I'm quite worried about Dortmund's declining performance. Because if a scenario like what I said above happened, then of course it would make the team fall even worse.

As time goes on Newcastle is no longer a medium team and also, I believe in the near future there will be a lot of media interested in Newcastle because they have improved fast. Concerning the player's interest is not a big problem, because even if a player is still under contract with the club. But if there is a club that is interested in him and is willing to pay for it, then of course the player will still leave.
because so far there seems to be no rule that only allows a club to buy a player if the contract has expired, with no such rule then of course every time the transfer window opens there will always be many clubs selling and buying players.

Although indeed, sometimes there are some teams that don't really take advantage of this opportunity to sell and also buy.
As it may be, these teams prefer to stabilize the club's finances by not spending too much money. An example is Leicester, they only brought in two new players in the transfer market yesterday and one player returned from a loan period.

After all, if I look at the history of Dinamo, it is indeed the team that has dominated the league the most and also, head to head against Reijeka, in fact, in the past, Dinamo also often won with big scores, such as 3-0, 4-0 and also 5-0. So this 7-2 defeat is the same as a five-goal gap which means Rijeka has also been used to this defeat before.
Also, in the last three seasons, Rijeka has also been inconsistent to be in second place or no longer able to compete in the title race.

Therefore, with Rijeka's performance declining during the last three seasons, I think it is only natural that Rijeka did not recover during that period.
So of course, their position will fall further but even so, Rijeka is still safe to be in the league next season because I believe they will still be able to survive at least in the middle of the table.

Agree, that Atletico, Betis, Sociedad and Bilbao are the four teams that will probably continue to compete in positions three to six. Because the teams outside the top six don't think they have a better chance to have the strength to be able to compete longer in the top six.
because in fact, Betis, who basically from the previous two seasons, has entered the top six competition, but Betis is still not strong enough to be able to end the season in the top four.

Therefore, Betis only got tickets for the Europa League in the last two seasons. At least that is the reason why I am quite sure that teams like Bilbao, Sociedad, Atletico and Betis have a better chance of ending the season in the top four or in the top six and while the other teams outside of that have very low chances.


But about Sevilla, obviously it is a very worrying performance and position. How could a team as big as Seville fall so badly, and it was like a team that was having a crisis and a very chaotic situation or something like a sudden massive breakdown with no way to recover quickly.

Because if in the previous season Sevilla had indeed experienced a decline in performance, it might be natural that this season they were getting worse, but in fact in the previous season Sevilla could still end the season in fourth place and it still looks fine. Obviously it was catastrophic damage, I just don't understand them taking damage like this in such a short amount of time.

Right, with the performance that has improved then of course the head to head results may no longer be useful, because at the same time Inter has experienced a decline in performance this season although they are slowly recovering. But with Napoli's position which is in a very good position in the standings, then of course Napoli will play with high focus to maintain its position at the top of the standings.
Unlike in previous seasons, where Napoli did not get as comfortable a position and perform well as they are now. So with a better position and performance that is on fire and also, the gap in points is wide enough, Napoli will still have a chance to win.

But even so, the chance for Inter to win still exists. However, if we consider them at this moment then on paper I think Napoli have a better chance of winning.
But still Napoli must play with great effort and of course that is necessary, because we also realize that this is a big match in which of course the two teams will play with high prestige.

Yes, there really isn't a problem, but I think it's interesting when you say with confidence that PSG will be sent home by Bayern Munich. But indeed, PSG's not-so-perfect performance in the group stage in the Champions League is a job that Christophe Galtier has not been able to overcome.
But for Bayern Munich, they got the perfect result and in fact, the two teams in the Bayern Munich group are two big teams. At least, on paper to get results without losing and drawing, is a difficult job but Bayern Munich managed to get it.

With these results, at least PSG doesn't have many chances to qualify, but if PSG have found comfort at the top of the standings in Ligue 1.
So, maybe PSG will be able to focus more on being able to play even better in the Champions League, because to get the expected achievements will not be easy and they must be able to make more efforts than usual.

More interestingly, Napoli still haven't played against Inter or Juventus this season and that might be a real shame for Napoli, because they had a good performance in the first half of the season. In fact, when Napoli played away against Milan on matchday 9, if I'm not mistaken, Napoli could beat Milan with a score of 1-2.
But Napoli will play against Inter and Juventus after the season break, which even we are all still waiting to see what changes will occur.

Therefore, I said this match will be more interesting because if Napoli's performance drops after the season break, then going against Inter and Juventus is a tough task for Napoli.
But if for example the Napoli match against Inter and Juventus took place yesterday or before the season break, then it is very possible for Napoli to beat them or at least end the match with a draw.

Lol, Chelsea and Dortmund this season is a bad season for them, if we refer to their performance in their respective leagues then of course they are experiencing a very severe decline in performance.
So, in this Dortmund v Chelsea match, I personally will still choose Dortmund to win, because Chelsea did not have a good performance against the top teams in the Premier League and Chelsea are in a mess at this moment.

But about Dortmund, at least they can still look better because they are still in the top six in the Bundesliga and because of that, I personally am still quite confident that Dortmund will have a better chance to win.
Well, that assessment refers to their performance in their respective leagues.

But if I have to make a choice not based on their performance in their respective leagues. I think I'm going to go with Chelsea because usually, when the big teams do poorly in the local league then their chances are better to play in European events.
This is a consideration for me personally, because considering the situation of the two teams this season is experiencing a decline.

The five-point gap is not a safe difference, because after all Manchester City has the ability to rise quickly. Also, let's not forget Newcastle and I'm pretty sure, that Newcastle will make a bigger surprise from their rapid rise this season.
So, basically Arsenal are still not completely secure at the top of the standings but yes, I also admit that their chances of winning the title this season are still there but the competition after the break will certainly be even more difficult.

Therefore, for now I personally still can't be sure for Arsenal, whether it will succeed in winning the title this season or not.
Because with the opening of the transfer window later in January, of course, competing teams may also improve their good performance again, perhaps exceeding Arsenal.
