In my opinion, this is the right time to show that Liverpool's condition is not consistently good. So far in terms of the squad and players who complete the strategy, Pep Guardiola is superior. However, let's see how Liverpool's front line, namely Moh Salah, Gakpo, and Nunez started the match against Manchester City. Everything can be seen when the three Liverpool players are on fire and able to play solidly, at least the goals that are created will be more even. Even so, if the three attackers are in bad condition, Erling Haaland, Mahrez, De Bruyne or Foden will make Liverpool unable to do more.
I also noticed that Liverpool is a team of mood, if they do well from the very beginning, then they play with courage the whole match and do not stop until the final whistle. But if their game does not work out from the very beginning, then the match becomes very difficult for them and, accordingly, the result will also be bad. The exception of the last games is the game with Real Madrid, where after a good start they failed the whole match. City are in much better shape now, so I expect them to win this match. Manchester City is undoubtedly the best team in the English Premier League but Liverpool are no less. Liverpool's recent form may have been poor but they can turn around at any time. Because we know form is temporary but class is permanent. Liverpool is a top class team. A few days ago we saw how they beat Manchester United. Manchester United is the third team in the points table of the English Premier League. Before the start of the game, everyone said that Manchester United will be ahead in this match, but after the start of the game, only Liverpool showed a surprise until the 90th minute. Manchester City are ahead on current form but I would say this match will be a very competitive one. In the five past season, Liverpool and Manchester City has been great and top premier league rivals. They've produced scintillating and entertaining football for the joy of football lovers all the world and their fixtures has been very unpredictable because any of them can beat the other on their own day. The only difference between the two clubs this season is that Manchester City has performed better and are still very much in competition to win a treble this season while Liverpool performance this season has been very short of what we've been seeing from them in recent seasons. They are out of the Champions League and the FA cup competitions and also struggling to make it to top four this season. Liverpool might not be playing their best football at the moment but when they face Manchester City it will always be cracker. Liverpool took all three points in their first meeting this season |

In fact, there were most who said that too when they played against Manchester United but it was slapped by the fact that Liverpool could have an absolute lead.
The current conditions are still the same, even though in terms of current performance Liverpool is not very good when compared to Manchester City, but of course, we also cannot forget that they are rivals and with this, all possibilities can still happen especially in terms of their players as well still in a state that can be said to be balanced.
The luck that shines on Liverpool against Manchester united will not work against Manchester city since man united is notwell-informedm like man city and at that, Manchester city will win against L pool l means,thate other clubs have a long time to prepare for the match. Lol.. U talking as if u were expecting a luck to shine for them against Manchester united. Liverpool also is a giant club in England, they take it really serious when it involves another England big clubs. Moreover, Manchester h2h with Liverpool is really not in favour of Manchester city. And talking about form, Manchester united were still on a very good shape before losing to Liverpool. I still believe that Liverpool will play out their best in this match, there should be no room for underestimation |

Milan can't stand a chance against Napoli. That should be obvious already I think. Because Milan are already struggling with the same issues. They are still bad at defending their opponents most of the time.
If their performance is still the same as in the Serie A, then it is absolutely true that Milan's chances of winning against Napoli are very small. Especially with their inconsistency. This is not a sure thing, but at least so far Napoli has been playing very well and consistently. it was just bad luck if they lost later. Milan is actually also a big club, but the problem is in their poor performance for the most part this season. Every day strange things happen in football. This thing are enough to give us reasons not to doubt the football possibilities. Liverpool in EPL we're doing exceptionally great after winning Manchester united, but meeting a club like zbobemouth who is already close in relegation zone. What I'm saying in essence is that Bapoli can wake up not to see this match in their favor . AC Milan is also a well known giant team in Italy. |

Real Madrid are a really impressive team to tell the truth. I mean yeah maybe their chance of becoming the La Liga champions this season is very low. But I mean a different thing. They don't have a poor season that easy even if they make manager changes. Zidane had an amazing run for a couple of years with them. And now we are watching Ancelotti doing a great work in the same way. They won the La Liga and Champions League titles both in the previous season for example.
They have a chance ahead to win the Champions League title two times in a row as well. For example Barcelona isn't like this. They had a horrible period with Koeman but now they are much better with Xavi compared to that time.
Real Madrid a very fortunate to have an experienced coach like Carlo Ancelotti. When other clubs were busy scrambling for players during the transfer window, I was surprised that Real Madrid was not part of the rush. Coach Ancelotti said he was comfortable with his current squad. And currently, the team is performing very well not minding the point gap between Barca and them. Even with the injury woes of Benzema other younger strikers like Rodrygo and Vini Jnr have not disappointed. It has been a disappointing season for Barcelona regarding European football but winning La Liga will be a worthy consolation. The word "worthy consolation" to me is an understatement. u already making it look like la liga isn't a title. La liga is the second most toughest competition in all football leagues. Barcelona winning the la lig is a very big achievement. No doubt, they were knocked out of the the champion league but it doesn't mean they are frustrated Barcelona is still doing very well if not, they would be kicked out by Madrid before now. |

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. Despite the fact that Manchester United is gonna play Brighton to qualify to the FA cup final while Manchester City will face Sheffield United to also qualify, it is well known to most football fans that the two Manchester Clubs are gonna face each other in the final in Wembley. But what I don't think is clear is who will win the FA cup between the two teams. Manchester City is the favorite to win the cup but that doesn't mean that Manchester United can't outplay Manchester City in the final. Manchester United will surely want to steal the show on that day and shock whoever that believe in them |

Napoli 71 and Lazio 52, 19 points! Napoli alone in the top of Serie A
with the remaining matches remaining, Napoli is optimistic about the trophy this season. Lazio or Inter will not catch up to this sizable difference in points. Napoli will still face several strong teams such as Milan, Juventus, and Inter. even if they lost all three but won against other weaker teams, Napoli will still be on top. that too if Lazio and Inter can continue to win in the remaining matches. I think Napoli by this time has prepared a place for their trophy and their party. Napoli's has had an incredible and eye-catching performance this season I think they have been one of the biggest surprises of European football this season and they are not even showing any sign slowing down at the moment. With their current form and point difference against other Serie A teams I think it's totally safe to say that they're surely gonna become Italian Champions at the end of the season |

Manchester City are going to have a really serious test in this stage. Leipzig wasn't a very serious challenge for them to be honest. Yeah maybe the first leg finished very unexpectedly. But Guardiola knew what to do after that and we just saw Manchester City playing their usual game in the rematch. This brought about a huge victory and Haaland put on an incredible show at the same time. Haaland is the key player for the Champions League title as well this season. Bayern Munich is one of the biggest obstacles for them. If they manage to eliminate them most probably they will have a draw against Real Madrid. It would be interesting to see another Manchester City vs Real Madrid matchup after watching the last one in the previous season.  Judging by Manchester City's standard and how they've played good football this season it will be easy to say that they're going to beat Chelsea whoever emerges as their semi-final opponent as well. They have a very clinical and lethal striker in Erling Haaland who has been banging goals for fun this season and he's not even showing any sign of slowing down at the moment But champions league football is different from domestic league football and if carefully analysed we all know that Chelsea knows how to play in the competition better than Manchester City does and that's a reason why I think it'll be disrespectful to Chelsea as a club to totally write them off going into that tie |

But for any reason, if Marseille gets itself closer to the first place on the table and replaces it with PSG, PSG can fail a lot more than failed so far. As far as I know, the most important player in Marseille is Alexis Sánchez he is an old player and was a teammate with Messi in Barcelona and now if Marseille gets better results and takes the title at the end of this season PSG with the most valuable forwards will fail even Messi, Mbappe and Neymar.
it won't make much of an impact I don't think. PSG's current condition is to secure Ligue 1 quickly because they have nothing more to be proud of at the end of the season because the Ligue 1 trophy is the only thing left. Marseille is indeed very good and their performance is actually the same as before which is very good, but that will not be enough if you want Ligue 1 competition because Marseille can only follow PSG in runner-up position. Olympic Marseille's performance this season has really been great and must be complimented for being an outstanding team to challenge Paris Saint Germain for the French league title. But I don't see them aa good enough to challenge PSG for the title despite their current form. Paris Saint Germain are surely gonna win the league at the end of the season. Their major disappointment this season is their failure to win the Champions League and that would want to work on that by next season probably with a better manager than their current manager |

Barcelona's advantage is that they can focus heavily on La Liga and the Copa Del Rey, while Real Madrid have set their sights on the Champions League and perhaps halfheartedly on the Copa Del Rey.
It's reasonable to think that Madrid will no longer focus on La Liga after trailing Barcelona by 12 points, but that doesn't mean they have to play badly and fail to win their other match. There is optimism on the part of Real Madrid, especially regarding the coach because in my opinion Ancelotti does not give up easily. La Liga is their main focus right now in the midst of preparing for the Second Leg Semifinal against Real Madrid at Camp Nou. However, it is also very natural that Barcelona focus on La Liga because there is no other competition that can be expected to lift a trophy other than the Copa Del Rey which they may not get because Real Madrid still has a chance to stop them. Both Ancelotti and Xavi must have prepared several plans to anticipate that the team they are currently working with can get a trophy. If Barcelona only has La Liga and the Copa Del Rey left, then Real Madrid still has the Champions League and the Copa Del Rey. Between the two remaining competitions, who is the luckiest. That's what we are waiting for from the two coaches. As much as it is very clear that Barcelona aren't La Liga champions of this season mathematically, we should also know that they aren't gonna allow the title slip off their hands as well. That El Clasico match against Real Madrid last weekend was their biggest test of the La Liga season and they played like a team who really want to become Spanish league champions once again. Real Madrid's main attention to lift a major title this season is on the Champions League because they already know that the domestic title race is almost over |

Today, I learned that Mesut Özil said goodbye to football after an emotional post he made on his official Instagram account. He had some injury issues recently. He touched on this subject and mentioned that he had difficulty in playing football now. He was one of the top 10 numbers of recent times during his prime. He had a very good harmony on the field with Ronaldo. In the years they played together, they created very good statistics and Real Madrid achieved great success. It was fun watching him, I wish him to enjoy his retirement life.
He was one of the most underrated players of all time, Germany did not value him, else he would have been a major maestro in their midfield and maybe they would not have underperformed in their last world cup. Mesut Ozil was a beauty to watch and for me especially when he was in Arsenal. Well just as life is long to some and short to others, in football everyone is not meant to play for a long time even if the are really good and young, see Kun Aguero for instance that was a striker to reckon with but has had to quit football for health reasons. they've had Jose Mourinho,
Mesut Ozil's decision to quit the biggest sporting game of football today came with enormous emotional feeling among football fans all over the world. Ozil was a very sensational midfielder and one the best midfielders in the world at his prime. Football waved goodbye to one of her finest players today. Mesut was just too at his days in Real Madrid that Cristiano Ronaldo had to get upset when he left them for Arsenal. His Solo goal against Ludogorets in a UEFA Champions League match in 2016/17 season still remains as one of the best goals in Champions League history |

I don't think Bayern Munich would be very unhappy if they lose the Bundesliga title to Dortmund this season. It isn't their priority right now.
Their priority is obviously the Champions League title. Because it is a much more prestigious title above all else. Besides Bayern Munich have been dominating the Bundesliga for ten seasons in a row. I don't think they would be affected very badly by not winning this time. However the der Klassiker in Allianz Arena is still in favour of Bayern Munich on paper. Bayern Munich have been very superior to Dortmund in the head-to-head matches so far already. I know how they lost to Leverkusen but I still see them one step ahead of Dortmund home.
For a fact Bayern Munich knows that the UEFA Champions League is a more important trophy than the Bundesliga and they'll be fight with their last strength to make sure they lift club football's biggest trophy at the end of the season But I don't think quest to win the Champions League will make the Bayern team to forfeit their their dominance of the Bundesliga. Bayern are the raining champions and would do anything possible to retain the title. The fact that they lost to Bayern Leverkusen shouldn't be a reason to think that they are not interested in the league title. |

The premier league match leaves only 10 matches left and this is a crucial match for arsenal, even though they are at the top but arsenal potential to be chased by manchester city can still happen if arsenal loses points in the big match against liverpool, liverpool is in bad shape but the 7-0 win against manchester united proved that liverpool can come as a surprise when facing big teams, arsenal is currently also limping after several of their important players were injured and I think liverpool has a great chance to be able to beat arsenal at Anfield later.
Speaking of Liverpool being one of Arsenal's toughest opponents, keep in mind that Manchester City's next match is against Liverpool, and Liverpool can also get at least a point from the match because it will not be easy for Manchester City to win the match because they also have Champions League games against Bayern Munich, which we all know will be a tough match as well. Arsenal won the first leg against Liverpool, and with the way Arsenal is playing now, I am confident they can get a point against Liverpool because Arsenal Team is treating all remaining games as a final because they are out of any other competition and their sole focus is the Premier League. Liverpool without injury is a very formidable team that is capable of beating any club in the world. taking nothing away from them or without being disrespectful to the Reads, I don't think that they are Arsenal's major problem in the remaining fixtures of the English Premier league. Arsenal's strongest opponent is Manchester City and if they can beat City at the Etihad Stadium on April 1st that will go a long way in boosting the confidence of the team which will make them not to see Liverpool as a better team before their match in week 30 of the premier league |

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. Of course there will be much blames on the coach. Both PSG fans, the management and the team itself are frustrated. This is because the millions spent on getting those new signings wasn't just to win the Ligue 1 trophy. PSG has been the champions of Ligue 1 trophy for long and they needed something better than that. PSG needed more than just a ligue 1 title. The coach has done his best but was not good enough to convince the Fans. Cuz many (including myself),believes that they are coaches who wouldn't be in that level with those calibres of players in the team. |

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.
Leipzig started the season poorly just like Leverkusen and seeing both of them in the 5th and 8th position respectively isn't that bad. For Freiburg, they started quite well then dropped. Freiburg remaining games aren't that easy especially when having Bayern, Union, Leipzig and even Frankfurt and Koln. They might drop further. For Leipzig, the situation is slightly better and might get a Champions League spot at the end of the season. Though we will always expect an overturn in football but Freiburg is taking too long to overturn after they dropped. This is one of the reason Bayern Munich is considered greatest among all German clubs. The ability to bounce back after every fiasco is one of thefeautiree if a great te It's a bad storey to move from grace to grace.. Lol. Freiburg in the start of the season I was hoping will bring difference into German football due To the gap they gave other team's while leading the table. At that early face, but I'm so disappointed that they are struggling to Weld their position in the top 4 zone. |

MU kicked out Barcelona, but I don't think It would have been an easy tax for them to eliminate Arsenal, but sporting did. From this analysis, I'm seeing Sporting and Manchester united in the Europa league final. When the Europa league round of 16 started, everyone were expecting to see clubs like Arsenal, Barcelona in the next round, because they seemed to be the most dreadful contenders as of then. But now that they are both gone, Manchester united may be the next Europe league title owners?

We might not just conclude that Real Madrid will not be able to grab the La Liga because in football anything is possible. Few losses on the part of Barcelona and more wins for Real will make the difference. But like you stated it will be very difficult for Real to push out Barca from he top spot because Barcelona is focusing on the La Liga while Real is pursuing more than one trophies. Real is contending for the UEFA champions League and it seems to be their main focus. But the last match between both teams looked like a Champions finals, it was very entertaining and filled with suspense.
Hey friends, there are always surprises in every season, even in every game there are always unexpected results. but we are talking about facts where the difference in points between Barcelona and Real Madrid is 12 points adrift, of course it is very impossible to catch up because Barcelona has been quite consistent this season. Especially in this season, Barcelona performance is better than Real Madrid so that Real Madrid chances in LaLiga seem to have run aground after yesterday El Clasico match where Real Madrid had to give up the lag with a final score of 2-1. maybe real madrid ambitions will be aimed at the champions league because that's one good enough way to become a champion because they have a strong enough mentality in the champions league after making it to the quarter finals by beating liverpool. Not all seasons must favour a club. Real Madrid have featured in so many comperirions, if they can't catch up with Barcelona it means it wasn't meant to be. Speaking of mentality in the champion league, almost all the teams in the quarter final have good experiences and are ready to kick out who ever cones their way. Real Madrid is the most successful team in champion league, but it's not going to be easy for them in this season champions league. |

I believe in the process, but with the players they have at the moment they shouldn't get results like that. They should have had better results. It's been almost two months or so since their transfer season did and today they haven't had much regular development. We have to be able to accept, when they have good finances, good players, but the coach is not experienced with the best league. Then it will make the club like Chelsea at the moment.
I'm not trying to make any excuse for Potter but the players Chelsea signed are not world-class players. Most of them are not consistent. Enzo Fernandez seems to be the most promising. Chelsea took a lot of risk with the players they signed because they are high-risk players. High-risk in the sense that they're mostly youngsters with potential. They need a good coach to be able to integrate them into the squad and I don't think Potter is the guy to do that. There's only so much Potter can do for Chelsea, I don't think he will be able to turn them into that feared European team. If u say the that Chalsea needs a good coach that can help blend those players into the square, I completely accept. But speaking about chelsea signings not being high class players is what I try don't understand. Even in clubs like PSG, there is no complete balance between the three high class players which they signed, reason because the coach isn't good enough to manage a team of such stars. A player can't be world-class on his on, it takes a good coach and a blended tam to produce it. Chelsea has world class players which are not seen due some conditions. |

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. Sacking a coach in a stage like this is always a happy thing for the club and the new coach, especially in cases where the club is still competing in a top competition. Tuchel didn't win the UEFA champion league because he was the best, butbeciase of the motivation he had when called upon to take over chelsea who were still playing in the champion league. Servilla in coming coach will be happy to take over this job , seeing that the club is still competing in EAFA competition. It wasn't a bad decision. |

Can this be a chance for Marseille to catch up with PSG again? I don't think so honestly. Because PSG are still a huge favourite for the title as long as they have a squad like this. I must say especially Messi, Mbappe and Neymar of course. I don't think PSG would maintain a bad form for a long time either. Because they have already been eliminated in the Champions League.
The Ligue 1 is their only focus now. They can't play very complacent from now on if they don't wany any surprise to happen later on. Marseille would do their best at least for securing their current position. It is important to finish in top 2 to join the CL groups directly. I think Marseille just needs to maintain motivation and performance if they want to catch PSG at the top of the table. To be honest, I'm not worried about PSG even though they lost against Rennes in their last match. PSG are the favorites to win, besides that they also still lead the standings with a 7 point advantage, so I'm not too worried. Messi and Mbappe failed to win their last match, both had the chance to score but failed. But actually they were just unlucky because PSG's defense in that match was really problematic. They lost a lot of players through injury, but for the next match I think they will correct that mistake. Back to winning ways and that is the hope. It's an easy thing. Bit would have been much more easier for Marseille if they could maintain consistency. PSG as it stands are prone to losing some matches. They are still not yet coordinated. The team is only existing on the rock of the individual brilliance that fills up the team. Some matches are still left for PSG which I know they may likely not win due to the current nature of the team. Masseile would have catch PSG off guard even long before now, but they couldn't because Masseille themselves are nòt in a balanced form. |

I assume it has been a very long time since we last saw an Italian team in the Champions League finale. Now there is a huge chance for watching an Italian team there and that team are most likely to be Napoli of course. Napoli have been mesmerizing with their high effort so far. This is one of the rare seasons for them in which they perform really effectively. They have already secured their Serie A title undoubtedly but they don't have any intention to stop at a certain point.
They want to go for more which means even the Champions League title. While they are playing incredibly it would be cruel to say they don't deserve the title. The thing is that they have faced only Liverpool as a very big team so far. We still don't know about what they can do against a tournament favourite like Manchester City, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.
We all will be happy if such comes to pass. Though so many are lovers of Spanish, and Englaand football. but this time around, there is no England team that is mentally feet to compete in this remaining round of UEFA. Champions league to the end. Like many others, I will love to see Napoli raise this title instead of Bayern or any other, cuz they may not go this far in Europa competition by next season. |
