Real Madrid is known as a very strong team. Real Madrid have won all the matches I have seen except Barcelona. But it is true that it is a lot of effort for Real Madrid to compete with Barcelona. Barcelona football team always plays very well. Real Madrid's game has taken a bad shape this season. In such a situation, it is natural for Real Madrid to move from the La Liga points table. Real Madrid have come under fire for a bit of a letdown.
After all, every team will always have strengths and weaknesses and this season we admit that Barcelona is indeed very good in La Liga, but Barcelona is still bad in the Champions League and Europa League. Meanwhile Real Madrid are still doing well in the Champions League, and even though Real Madrid are below Barcelona in La Liga this season, but I think second place is not too bad either. So yes, even though Real Madrid might not win the La Liga title this season but Real Madrid is not completely bad. Also, of course Real Madrid will make some changes later to get better and more consistent results next season. |

Manchester city and arsenal will be facing some strong opponents like chelsea and liverpool. That will even push the tension to be even higher. it's not so hard for city to catch arsenal if arsenal will be making mistake.
I don't think either Manchester City or Arsenal will want to lose any of their remaining games, especially Arsenal who only has their Premier League trophy to aim for. I think Arteta will try his hardest to keep his team winning until they receive the trophy. Therefore, I do not believe that Arsenal will make a mistake because they have acknowledged some of their past errors. As for Manchester City, I am aware that they have quality players, but I do not believe that they will be as strong as Arsenal because they still have to compete in other leagues, particularly the champions league, on which I believe they will concentrate the most because Manchester City is so eager to win the championship. But with Manchester City still playing in the Champions League, I'm sure this won't make Manchester City lower its quality in the Premier League. So that Manchester City will continue to stick to Arsenal but yes, with the current point gap, of course it will be difficult for Manchester City to overtake Arsenal. Therefore, Arsenal will certainly have the ability to be able to maintain their top position until the end of the season. Because in my opinion, with Arsenal who can be said to be dominating the English Premier League this season, of course the morale of Arsenal's players is in the best condition so that Arsenal will be consistent to achieve good results in every match. |

When you have a team that basically got used to scoring and playing amazing without a striker like Haaland, and then you add someone like that, things suddenly become so much easier for you, like it's somehow cheating without actually cheating. Think about it, it's like basically running at a very high altitude which lacks oxygen, and then start to compete at lower altitude, you would have a lot more oxygen compared to everyone else.
City already won so much without Haaland, what was it 10 cups in 6 years or something? That's without a proper striket at all, and now they have Haaland, a guy who scored about 40-50 goals already, that's basically the best they could have ever hoped for.
Agreed and because of that, it looks like The Emirates FA Cup this season may be certain that Manchester City will win the title. Because after all, playing in the semifinals against Sheffield United is not an obstacle for Manchester City to win, because with the Manchester City squad with Haaland, it will be easier for Manchester City to score goals. Also, this season's final match looks like it will bring together Manchester United and Manchester City but again and again, it seems like Pep Guardiola is more ambitious to win. Even though Erik ten Hag also has high ambitions to win the title, but I believe Pep Guardiola has a better strategy to give Manchester City a title of The Emirates FA Cup on this occasion. |

Psg team seems very frustrated after the disqualification from the champions league, the team looks without spirit and the players are confused in the pitch, i believe this team need a New coach for the next season because their problem is surely not in the players quality but in coaching and team spirit
PSG was not disqualified from the Champions League this season, but PSG was only defeated by a formidable opponent and that doesn't have to fully blame the coach even though the current coach's abuse feels unsatisfactory, but PSG players don't have to be frustrated about that because PSG can still get the Ligue1 trophy this season as usual and PSG can try their luck again in the Champions League next season. PSG are very often losing in the latter stages of the Champions League, despite their strong squad and predictions that they could become champions... But I think the coaching is not bad, because in Ligue 1 they are in first place in the standings and have a gap of 7 points from Marseille, their closest rival... Dominating the local league cannot be used as a benchmark for a good team because after all, it seems very natural for PSG to dominate Ligue 1 because PSG has luxurious quality players. Also, when a team has a luxurious squad, it would be more appropriate for PSG to have a better coach because it seems like Christophe Galtier is not used to building teams with top quality players. So yes, I believe that if PSG have a more experienced coach to build a team with a luxurious squad, then it is possible that PSG will not only dominate Ligue 1 but also the Champions League. Because after all, PSG's main target of having a luxurious squad is to win the Champions League title and not just about Ligue 1. |

You are right. Juventus' performances are more organized and strong than those of Inter Milan and Roma. The team has been dominating every match they have played. Juventus would now be competing for the title with Napoli if they hadn't lost 15 points. Inter Milan and Roma's performances are completely erratic. These two teams are not playing well consistently. Inter Milan and Roma have lost three of their last four matches. And now it will be challenging for them to qualify for the Champions League.
Yes that's right , Juventus are really fighting for a place in the Champions League and now they only need 7 points At first I really doubted Juventus could take a place there but in fact I was wrong they continued to play consistently Juventus still have time to keep fighting and Milan could be eliminated from the top 4. Inter and Milan are still in third and fourth positions and indeed, their point gap is still close to AS Roma and Atalanta who are in fifth and sixth positions. But I'm sure, even though Inter and Milan don't have good consistency but it looks like Inter and Milan still have the ability to stay in the top four. Regarding Juventus, before receiving a point deduction penalty, in fact at that time the gap in points with Napoli was still possible for Juventus to overtake Napoli. But unfortunately, Juventus received a point deduction penalty, but in the end we can see that Juventus can consistently win point after point in every match. Therefore, Juventus still has a chance to finish in sixth or fifth position, but to finish in the top four for me is still too difficult for Juventus. |

The lack of consistency from some teams is frightening. Take Freiburg and Leipzig for example. Both failed to win their last games, although both had opponents they should have been beaten. They are lucky that the pursuers are not playing very well either and are not really a threat to them. That has been the case for a few weeks now. If they will not win the next games it will be hard to keep place 6 at least.
That was Leipzig's first defeat against Bochum, meanwhile, in yesterday's match, in reality, Leipzig could dominate or control the match. But yeah, maybe Leipzig didn't get lucky, because with such dominance Leipzig should be able to score an equalizer or even beat Bochum. Indeed, the fact is that teams ranked at the top cannot guarantee that they will always win when they play against teams that are ranked at the bottom. But with results like this, the competition for Freiburg and Leipzig will continue, to fight for fourth place and of course, to fight for tickets to the Champions League next season. |

I think Manchester City vs Bayern Munich will be the toughest and most interesting fixture amongst all four games because both teams are strong and eager to win the Champions league trophy this season. I think that Bayern will try to mark Haaland aggressively since he’s City’s top scorer, but Pep will be expecting this strategy. I would like to see what strategy the managers will be playing on match day.
Bayern Munich may defend aggressively to stop Haaland from scoring goals, but I don't think it will because Haaland is very fast and sharp when it comes to scoring goals, and he also has teammates who are very smart to assist in scoring. I believe it will be very difficult for Bayern Munich to defeat Manchester city at this point, unless the Manchester city players are not in good format that day. After all, both teams have an attacking style of play, so both of them will attack each other and not only focus on defending. But yes, guarding Haaland is a focus that must be maximized, because if Bayern Munich doesn't maximize it to keep Haaland tight, then Bayern Munich's goal is of course very vulnerable to conceding. But I'm sure these two big teams have a good way of being able to attack, so they will have their own goals. But somehow I feel Pep Guardiola has good information about Bayern Munich, so I believe Pep Guardiola has a better strategy in this match. |

if you think about it, the reasoning is right
as I always say, the Champions League brings a lot of cash, oxygen for teams like Real Madrid, so it was obvious they would focus on that (a bit like they did last year!)
I approve of this mentality
Last year they won both champions league and La Liga, so do not say they are focusing on only champions league this season because they are now 12 points behind Barcelona, they were focusing on the both of them but Barcelona have been better in the La Liga, and that is why Xavi and his team are going to win it. It is not about Madrid's mentality, it is a normal thing that clubs do, when they know they cannot win a competition, they shift focus to the one they can win, Madrid can't win La Liga this season, so let them try and see if they will win the champions league again. I see Real Madrid experiencing a decline in performance this season and that is what makes them unable to compete with Barcelona. If we look at the defeats and draws they have had in La Liga, most of them have come against weaker teams and in fact they should have won the game. But they got the opposite result. If they win the game against a weaker team, the loss to Barcelona won't matter in my opinion. It would be a natural result to get wins and losses because after all, every team will certainly experience instability in their performance throughout this season. So, even though at this moment Real Madrid looks like it no longer has a chance to overtake Barcelona, but basically Real Madrid is not giving up or giving up. Because if Real Madrid gave up and only focused on the Champions League, then Real Madrid might not be in second place at this moment. So, with Real Madrid still in second place in the La Liga standings, of course that is also proof that Real Madrid still has a good effort to be consistent. |

This season Manchester United can compete better than last season, but unfortunately when one team can improve the other team decreases. If only Liverpool and Chelsea did not experience a slump this season, the competition at the top would be more interesting. Not only that, other teams like Newcastle add even more interesting competition. But unfortunately it was not what we expected, so we saw a change in competition at the top with the decline of several teams.
Yes, it's a shame and I expected that at the start of the season, but after the season starts we get different results because Liverpool are out of the title race. About Chelsea, basically when Tuchel was sacked it was a big shock, and there were a lot of assumptions going around about Chelsea but in reality Chelsea got worse. But one thing is certain, I'm sure about Newcastle which will continue to develop from season to season and at this moment Newcastle is just starting to develop but the results are already very good. Can't imagine if Newcastle continues to improve because of the status of a club that has become big and rich, then of course it's not difficult for Newcastle to continue to make changes for the better and better. |

The thing that must be the main concern is about how bad the attacking lines that owned by sevilla. Sampaoli already sacked by club. Club is trying to find a new name as replacement for his spot.
The new coach will have very big pressures and i think that if it's quite hard to find a new guy that will be willing to handle the club to get big pressure instantly.
I didn't expect the Sevilla coach to be sacked. I think their run in the Europa League is not too bad. But the result of the game against Getafe seems to have made the management not believe it. Seven games with five defeats is not a good result, so I think they were not wrong to sack him. Indeed, if you look at their history in the previous season, Sevilla experienced a very deep decline. Last season they could have finished fourth. Today they are in fourteenth position which leaves only twelve games. The dismissal of the coach will have an impact on Sevilla appearance in the Europa League, Sampaoli can be said to have failed in La Liga, but in the Europa League he can make Sevilla in the quarter-finals. Players must adapt to the style of play that is carried by the new coach, this will make it more difficult for Sevilla players to develop their game. Manchester United is not an easy opponent to beat, the quality of Manchester United this season is above the quality of Sevilla. This match will be one of the toughest matches for Sevilla, if they lose to Manchester United, Sevilla will miss the European league next season. After all, the dismissal was the right decision, because management certainly prioritized La Liga because Sevilla is still vulnerable to falling back into the relegation zone. Because if Sevilla keep a coach with the reason to get good results in the Europa League, then I don't think it's a good reason. Because even though Sevilla are currently still able to play in the Europa League, but in the end Sevilla will not be able to play all the way to the final. So yes, it is clear that management is prioritizing Sevilla's position in La Liga and not about the Europa League, because with a performance like this Sevilla will not be able to progress any further in the Europa League. |

Milan v Napoli is like a Serie A match to me. I don't see any difference between their looks in the Serie A and Champions League as well. Napoli are very strong here as well while Milan don't have a very reliable performance. Maybe you will say that Milan are still good here due to eliminating Tottenham. But it was mostly due to Tottenham's being really terrible against them. Tottenham were a big disappointment just as they were in the most of the season. But it wouldn't be the same scenario against Napoli.
Napoli are a very competitive team in the Champions League as well. They really want the best achievement they can get here. It isn't very difficult for them to make it to the final stage too considering the draw.
Napoli is playing really well in the Italian League, there is no doubt about that. But in the Champions League, I wonder how they are going to perform. This is a match that they are very familiar with. So they should not have too many problems beating Milan. Personally, I do not want to make any predictions before watching the first leg. I want to see the first leg to have an idea. Now the general prediction is that of course, Napoli is going to win. But this is the champions League. It is not going to be as simple and easy as the Italian League. Napoli has the advantage at the moment, and I think betting on them can be the best choice. They often meet in Serie A, so they definitely know the strengths of each team from the outside. Maybe I will have other considerations when Napoli's opponent is not AC Milan in this round, but the draw says they must meet in this quarter-final. AC Milan may be more experienced than Napoli in the Champions League, but this is not in the past where they have very solid team strength, this season it is the opposite, they have not had consistent performances if you look at them in Serie A. Yes, it's true, Milan at this moment is not the same as in the past which was better than Napoli and also, in the past Milan was a team to be highly considered in the Champions League as well. But at this moment I think it is clear that Napoli deserves to be the favourite, because the results in Serie A also prove that Napoli are in very good domination this season. Also, in this draw the Serie A teams still have the chance to meet in the semifinals but if Inter manages to beat Benfica. But yes, I think the semifinals in this lineup will be Napoli v Benfica. If this prediction comes true, then I think Napoli and Benfica at this moment are completely unpredictable and it is possible that one of them will win the Champions League title. |

Rennes managed to beat PSG twice this season in Ligue 1 and of course, it was a good result for Rennes because PSG couldn't score against Rennes this season. I don't know if Rennes had something extraordinary that made Rennes win with clean sheets, because if I consider the statistical results, at least Rennes did not dominate the match.
Maybe it's natural that Rennes can control the game, but in reality PSG has a better statistical record when compared to Rennes. Don't understand what happened to PSG, because with a defeat like this it looks like PSG no longer has the ambition to achieve successive wins at this moment.

Now Liverpool have only the Premier League left in their hands. It has been a really horrible season for them so far. They have only one thing left to go for this season which is the top 4. This is very important for Liverpool as it is their only way of qualifying for the Champions League once again at least. But with this inconsistent performance I don't know if they can make it there at the end of the season. They have two matches missing right now and in case they win both they can drop the gap with Tottenham to only one point.
But Newcastle are also a big threat in this race as they are right between these teams. They also have two matches missing plus they are five points ahead of Liverpool. It looks like Liverpool's job is very difficult here.
Basically it's difficult for them to be consistent, because there are only two teams that can consistently do better and they are in a title race like Arsenal and Manchester City. So, the teams that are competing for the top four spots can never have a winning streak and will not have a losing streak either. Thus, the team that has better results in the next few matches will certainly be the team that has the greatest chance of finishing in fourth and fifth positions. For Liverpool this season is not so good, so I think Liverpool should focus more on overtaking Newcastle first. Because if they target to finish in the top four, then obviously it is a difficult job for Liverpool. |

Real Madrid is a very strong team in the Champions League. And they have played well in every Champions League match. It seems that the first priority of the Madrid management is the Champions League. And then they will focus on winning the La Liga title. Beating Real Madrid in the Champions League will not be easy. They played well in both matches against Liverpool. It is expected that they will start preparing for the match against Bayern Munich.
In the end, as I said in other places, Real Madrid are betting everything on the Champions League given that in La Liga he has the very big obstacle of the super fierce Barcelona I think he made the right choice Anyway, if for example at this moment Real Madrid are in a better situation in La Liga, then Real Madrid will still be good in the Champions League too. So, even though at this moment Real Madrid's chances of winning the title in La Liga are very low, but it doesn't mean that Real Madrid is making a choice between La Liga or the Champions League. Also, even though Real Madrid is still very good so far in the Champions League, I assume that Real Madrid also cannot guarantee to win the Champions League title this season. because there is still Bayern Munich or Manchester City that Real Madrid will face in the semi-finals, of course it will be a difficult semi-final. However, if one of them makes it to the final, then their percentage is very high to win the title. |

Juventus are very lucky, even though they have received a point deduction because of the sanctions, the other teams in the top 5 (except Napoli) are showing poor performance recently. This also gives Juventus the opportunity to finish in the UCL spot next season. 7 points difference with AC Milan in 4th position, of course it is very possible for Juventus to get there, it's just waiting to see how the teams in positions 2-4 will go through the match. what do you think?
Whether it's luck or not, because basically these teams are in fact difficult to be consistent from season to season. So, if at this moment they cannot be consistent, then I assume that it is a result that can happen or a result that they usually experience every season. Therefore, I don't think Juventus is lucky because after all, mistakes or imperfect results are experienced by the team above it and in that way, Juventus is considered great because it can take advantage of the bad situations experienced by the teams above it. If at the end of this season Juventus can finish in the top four, then the point deduction penalty experienced by Juventus can be assumed to have very little impact on Juventus' performance and results this season. Juventus well known as a club full of scandals , it's been multiple times for juventus to get involved in such shameful scandal ... mafia all around juventus body and it seems hard to remove that image out of the club for years even century ... So yeah hard to believe as well that juventus played it in clean way ... despite in fact it is. Too much manipulative things. Instead luck people could call it manipulation or corrupt instead. Indeed, it is a very unfortunate case but if we can look back, at least before Juventus won 9 consecutive Scudetto. In fact Juventus also had a scandal that made Juventus play in Serie B, but after that Juventus won 9 Scudettos in a row and in fact during that period Juventus really looked clean. I mean, the bad cases experienced by Juventus are not always attached or do not make Juventus look bad or be suspected. because if the image of Juventus is bad because of the scandal at that time, then Juventus can win 9 Scudettos in a row. Of course, Juventus deserves to be investigated, but so far no one has said that Juventus committed fraud or anything about winning 9 Scudetto in a row. Therefore, the scandal that Juventus has experienced this season will still not make Juventus' bad image have a negative impact on their performance |

Maybe we think this season Potter will not bring Chelsea any better unless he has to be able to stay in the UCL, but for next season we have to see Chelsea differently because they have looked at a bigger squad than this season.
Let's simply assume that Chelsea has lost the opportunity to finish at the top of the premier league positions this year. If by next season, Chelsea is unable to make it to the top position of the premier league, that's when Chelsea management will do the needful to sack Potter. For now, they have given him all the time to build Chelsea into a formidable club. Let's see whether his gonna make it happen or not by next season It would be a good decision if the Chelsea management did not sack Graham Potter at the end of this season, because I think Chelsea not being in the top five or at least the top seven is a bad result. What's more, at this moment Chelsea are only in 10th place with 38 points, so it's clear that Graham Potter doesn't have good abilities. But yes, let's see what Chelsea will be like next season if they are still coached by Graham Potter, I will only look forward to Chelsea's development next season because this season Graham Potter has failed. There is nothing more that Chelsea can hope for this season, even though Chelsea have qualified for the quarter-finals in the Champions League but the opponent is Real Madrid which is of course very difficult for Chelsea. |

sevilla is not a tough opponent for man utd even in leg 2 against fenerbahce, sevilla looked difficult and narrowly lost 1-0
Leg 1 will be held at Old Trafford, so that can be a good opportunity for Man Utd to get full points, Man Utd will definitely be able to qualify from this quarter-final
These two clubs have faced each other many times, we cannot underestimate Sevilla. The previous club from Spain had also beaten Manchester United by many goals. Sevilla is the only club from Spain that still remains, as well as Man United from the English league. Of course, many have pinned their hopes on the two clubs. In terms of league standings, Sevilla is far worse than Real Betis. Sevilla is indeed a strong team and cannot be underestimated but unfortunately, Sevilla this season has been much different from previous seasons and in this way, Sevilla can no longer be expected to go further. Because at this moment the opponent that Sevilla will face is Manchester United, which is clearly in the midst of improving its performance, so Sevilla's chances of winning on paper are very low. But yes, if we consider the head to head results then we will find that Manchester United have never beaten Sevilla at all. But at this moment I believe Manchester United will be able to set a new record to beat Sevilla, and will also make Sevilla the third team from La Liga to be eliminated by Manchester United in the knockout stage of this Europa League. Barcelona, Betis and next is Sevilla. |

At least my prayers was coming true and Bayern Munich has lost there game against Leverkusen even when my bet was placed for a win for Bayern.
If you looking on the table right now it looks for sure better with Dortmund on the first place.
Sad a bit that Frankfurt has lost there game against Union Berlin.
Playing as a host, Leverkusen should be able to play better in front of their supporters, especially against Munich, obviously it is impossible to beat Munich even though they are playing at home, but 2 penalty kicks made Leverkusen win in this match and made Dortmund at the top of the standings, shifting Munich By the way, what are you betting on Bayern Munich for but you expect Bayern Munich to lose. Because if you pray and or hope that Bayern Munich will lose to be overtaken by Dortmund, then it would be better for you to keep betting on Bayer Leverkusen because the odds you will get are also higher if you bet on Bayer Leverkusen to win. But even though at this moment Dortmund managed to overtake Bayern Munich, I personally still don't believe that Dortmund will be able to maintain their top position until the end of the season. Even though Dortmund is a rival team for Bayer Munich, in reality, Dortmund does not have the ability to maintain its position because Dortmund always has difficulty being consistent when under greater pressure. |

Juventus are very lucky, even though they have received a point deduction because of the sanctions, the other teams in the top 5 (except Napoli) are showing poor performance recently. This also gives Juventus the opportunity to finish in the UCL spot next season. 7 points difference with AC Milan in 4th position, of course it is very possible for Juventus to get there, it's just waiting to see how the teams in positions 2-4 will go through the match. what do you think?
Whether it's luck or not, because basically these teams are in fact difficult to be consistent from season to season. So, if at this moment they cannot be consistent, then I assume that it is a result that can happen or a result that they usually experience every season. Therefore, I don't think Juventus is lucky because after all, mistakes or imperfect results are experienced by the team above it and in that way, Juventus is considered great because it can take advantage of the bad situations experienced by the teams above it. If at the end of this season Juventus can finish in the top four, then the point deduction penalty experienced by Juventus can be assumed to have very little impact on Juventus' performance and results this season. |

Chelsea ended in a draw, even I felt confident after entering the eighty-fifth minute. But Everton managed to make good use of the opportunity. M Koulibaly failed to stop Ellis Simms. It seems that Koulibaly doesn't have the strength to run. Of course this is a series of bad results Chelsea played at Stamford Bridge. It looks like two substitution errors meant Potter had to settle for just one point. Perhaps this result makes Potter have to be ready to be fired. You can see the expression of the Chelsea owner here https://twitter.com/fathurys216/status/1637234908337676294?s=20But in reality so far this season Chelsea have only lost three at home, because of the 13 home matches so far this season Chelsea have won six home wins, four draws and three defeats. So, since Chelsea don't have more defeats and also, Chelsea don't have consecutive defeats at home, then I still consider that the result is not too bad. Because anyway, at least I can still understand that with the big changes that have taken place at Chelsea, they won't be able to quickly get the good results as expected. But yes, if Chelsea continues to slump and fall out of the top 10, then of course Chelsea need a better coach than Graham Potter. |
