If you are aware of the three opponents that Dortmund will face next, then I think it will still not be easy for Dortmund to get full points, especially when playing against Leverkusen. Maybe you missed how Leverkusen performed before the World Cup break, in fact Leverkusen have recovered and managed to get away from the relegation zone and Leverkusen have also managed to get three successive wins.
What's even more amazing is that Leverkusen was able to beat Union Berlin with a score of 5-0, even though at that time Union Berlin was still in the top four.

So, with these considerations I think it will still not be easy for Dortmund to be able to win the match against Leverkusen, moreover Leverkusen will also be playing at home.
If Leverkusen can still play the same as when they beat Union Berlin, or at least can still play the same as in the three matches before the break, then I believe Leverkusen will beat Dortmund. But because of course changes will occur because there is a transfer window too, then any results can still happen but I personally am pretty sure Dortmund will still be difficult this season.

Well, about the Manchester United forwards I see an improvement for Marcus Rashford, it seems that under the coach of Erik ten Hag it can make Marcus Rashford's performance even better. Even so far Marcus Rashford is the only player who has scored many goals for Manchester United in all competitions, so I don't think Ronaldo's departure is a problem for Manchester United's performance.
But about whether Manchester United can be a successful team to win the Europa League title this season, I personally am still not completely sure.

Indeed, I am also quite sure that Manchester United have a chance to beat Barcelona, because Barcelona did not do very well in the Europa League considering last season. But even so, even if for example later Manchester United will qualify because they beat Barcelona, but I'm still not completely sure Manchester United will win the Europa League title.
But yes, after all Manchester United is having good progress with Erik ten Hag, it will be interesting to wait to see how far Erik ten Hag can take Manchester United in this Europa League.

Whatever Ronaldo's problems with Manchester United and Erik ten Hag, basically Ronaldo really wanted to leave Manchester United after failing to finish in the top four. After that, entering the new season and Erik ten Hag as coach, the reality is that when Ronaldo's condition and situation are no longer comfortable in the team, Erik ten Hag actually benches Ronaldo more often so it's only natural that Ronaldo's emotions can't be stopped at moments like that.
Also, when Portugal won big against Switzerland 6-1, Ronaldo's position was at least the same as what he experienced at Manchester United to be on the bench.

Factors like that will at least make Ronaldo's emotions maybe not okay again, with Ronaldo leaving Manchester United, of course it will make it difficult for him to get a new club.
Because as we have seen so far, at least the team can still win big without Ronaldo in the starting line-up, this proves that Ronaldo is no longer the main actor on the field. It will be interesting to wait, which big club will really be ready to risk spending big money to recruit Ronaldo later.

By the way, England will play against France in the quarter-finals and that means either one of them will not make it to the final or maybe they will also be knocked out in the semifinals. But yes, it is also one of the options that you have and I think it can happen because you have these two options, but in the end we still can't decide which team will win the World Cup this time.
I think in this moment there are unpredictable teams like for example Morocco, because they have made good steps so far.

If Portugal had trouble beating Switzerland yesterday, then maybe I will choose Morocco to reach the final because Morocco will play against Portugal in the quarter-finals. But because Portugal managed to beat Switzerland yesterday with a big score, it seems that the chance for Morocco to qualify for the semifinals is also lower.
But to be honest, if Morocco can play well when they play against Portugal or at least make good steps like when Morocco played against Spain, then I will be confident that Morocco will qualify and will play in the final.

The problem is, do you believe that Napoli will continue to lose and Milan will continue to win?
Because an eight-point gap is not an easy difference to chase in Serie A and indeed, Napoli will not always win either because at least there will be draws and defeats to come as well. But those results won't stick with them for the rest of the season, meaning they might only get a bad result once or twice and then they'll come back to have good results more often.

Unless the opponents or teams in Serie A are all big teams, then of course it is difficult for Napoli to continue to get the expected results in every match. Anyway, this season is a good season for Napoli, because Napoli is not only good in Serie A but Napoli is also good in the Champions League.
You can also compare how Milan was last season when Milan won the Serie A title, but Milan was very bad in the Champions League and even Milan finished fourth in group B and Milan fell in the group stage. At least that's a little proof of the difference in their quality at the moment too, so I don't doubt Napoli this season to be able to maintain its position at the top of the standings.

Real Madrid are still very strong in La Liga and even though Real Madrid are below Barcelona right now in the La Liga standings, but the points gap is still very close. Also, Real Madrid will still be playing in the Champions League while Barcelona will only be playing in the Europa League and thus, Real Madrid's performance so far has been fine. Unless Real Madrid's position continues to move away from the title race then surely it is a very weak performance which must be corrected immediately.
Also about whether Real Madrid needs new players or not, I think every time the player transfer window opens then the big teams will definitely sign new players although I'm also not sure who Real Madrid will sign.

Because even though Real Madrid currently has several great players, it seems that preparing to replace their old players such as Modric, Kross and Benzema must be done.
Because old players will certainly be prone to injury, so preparing early before it goes bad is a great way to maintain good team performance and gameplay.

I'm curious why the competition between Arsenal and Manchester United will become big because even though their positions in the standings are very different, but if it's about the big match then that's for sure. But for big competition, I personally cannot compare them because their positions in the standings are different, although indeed, in their first match or first meeting this season, in fact, Manchester United could beat Arsenal with a score of 3-1.
But with that defeat at least Arsenal can still be at the top of the standings so far, which means that that big defeat is not a big problem for Arsenal either.

Unless Arsenal lose their best form and continue to fall, then maybe the competition in the standings between the two will get closer.
However, I also realize that Arsenal's position is still not completely secure and could continue to decline over time because the gap is still close. If later Arsenal and Manchester United compete for the fourth position in the standings, then of course it will be a big competition, but if the position in the standings is still like this I think the competition might be normal and only matches that are titled big matches.

I don't think Mane's absence will affect Bayern Munich's performance as a whole, because players who can score goals at Bayern Munich are not only Mane. In fact, other players have more and better goals than Mane, so I personally don't think Bayern Munich will be weak just because Mane is injured.
Also, whether or not Mane will be present in the match against PSG, basically it will be a difficult match for both teams because whatever the result can be.

But indeed, at least if Mane can be played in that match then of course it will be better for Bayern Munich than without Mane. But besides that, there will be a transfer window that will open before the start of the Champions League, and with the transfer market before the Champions League starts again, of course Bayern Munich must move quickly to get new players, especially pure strikers.
That way, there is still plenty of time for all teams to improve and strengthen their squad in the transfer window, as they still have time to be able to improve their team's performance after the World Cup.

Basically, no matter how much consistency and or dominance a team has in a league, they will still get lost even if it's only one or two defeats. The point is, there will always be moments where they get a busy schedule with difficult opponents. This will make the player rotation not run well, especially if many of the main players are injured.
But apart from these factors, I personally don't doubt the quality of Napoli this season and those who say Napoli won't win the title this season, I think that's not true.

Because after all, I am also aware of Napoli's development from season to season and also, there are still other teams that from season to season get good results at the start of the season. But as time goes by the team continues to fall and that team is Atalanta and even, previously someone predicted Atalanta can win the title.
Even though the fact is that Napoli are better than Atalanta and with this big difference in points, then of course Napoli will be able to have better morale to maintain its position at the top of the standings.

Regarding Morocco, it's actually not a strange result for me personally, because I also previously said it was very possible for this match to end goalless and it would be decided by penalties. But what surprised me was only the result in the penalty shootout itself, because how come three shots from Spain didn't score at all.
At least that was the only surprise for me, because about a 0-0 draw in 90 minutes for me it's not something strange because Morocco themselves did have that ability in the group stage too.

Concerning Portugal with a big win is a surprise and what's more, Portugal can win big without involving Ronaldo in the starting line-up. I think the Ronaldo era is really over, because so far this World Cup is also the reality that Roaldo only has one goal. What's more, Ronaldo's goal were also only created from penalty kicks when playing against Ghana, in the early match of the group stage.
Also, Ronaldo has had no assists so far and results like this, so Portugal don't really need Ronaldo to play 90 minutes anymore and it looks like this situation is the same as what happened at Manchester United as well.

It will be interesting whether Bayern Munich will be able to bring Harry Kane to Bayern Munich, because as happened before too when Pep Guardiola wanted Harry Kane to play for Manchester City but in the end they failed to sign him because Tottenham still kept him. Even if Harry Kane is at Tottenham until his contract ends, then maybe Harry Kane's performance will decline due to age.
So indeed, with the age of 29 now, at least it would be better for Harry Kane to be able to play with a team that has a big chance to win the title.

At least if Bayern Munich manages to recruit Harry Kane then maybe Bayern Munich's chance to be able to win the title in the Champions League will be even greater, because with Bayern Munich's extraordinary domination in the Bundesliga, at least Bayern Munich must also be his hope of winning a title in Europe, especially in the Champions League.
Because Bayern Munich has a good midfielder who can at least provide good passes for pure strikers, with lots of support from the midfield, of course Harry Kane is very suitable to play at Bayern Munich.

Even though Roma under Mourinho's coaching in my opinion, it is something ordinary or nothing special at all. But I'm surprised that some of them say or assume that Roma is a great team because they were coached by Mourinho. Unless Mourinho can take Roma strong in the top four then surely that is a constant improvement.
Because if Roma can only win the title in the Europa Conference League last season, I think it still can't be used as a high achievement. Considering that the opponents in the Europa Conference League last season weren't all strong opponents, so it's only natural that Roma could win the title in the Europa Conference League last season.

But the main target of Roma recruiting Mourinho is of course about improving performance and being consistent to compete in the top four in Serie A, and if Mourinho has not been able to bring Roma strong in the top four then I think Roma are still very weak as a big team in Serie A.
So, in the absence of significant growth in Roma to date, then of course Roma will still be difficult and I believe Roma will still not be able to finish in the top four because Roma are still not in their best form to be able to dominate Serie A.

Agreed, at least this also happens in the Champions League but yes, basically Premier League teams have better represented teams. Because when compared to representative teams from other leagues, at least they may only have one or two teams that will be considered to go further, such as for example Real Madrid and Barcelona, then Bayern Munich and also PSG.
Unlike the teams from the Premiere League, at least they have better and stronger teams, but for some reason it is always difficult for English Premiere League teams to win titles in the European arena.

Indeed, if we examine further at least there is still a team from La Liga that is very good in competition in the Europa League and that is Sevilla.
But unfortunately, Sevilla this season is a very chaotic team so this season's title race for the Europa League I think it will be a competition of teams from the Premier League and also teams from Serie A. But maybe also teams from the Bundesliga, because I thought they would probably be an opponent not to be underestimated at all.

In essence, with Bayern Munich being able to maintain its dominance in the Bundesliga at least that is good enough for Bayern Munich, because basically to dominate the Champions League is of course a difficult job. Because even though Bayern Munich still had Lewandowski at that time, it was still difficult for Bayern Munich to win the Champions League title and moreover this season Lewandowski was no longer in the Bayern Munich squad.
So yes, basically whoever the players Bayern Munich have, at least they still have a big chance for Bayern Munich to dominate the Bundesliga, because one of Bayern Munich's successes is that they have good management.

At least with management that is divided and can be maintained for a healthy finances, then Bayern Munich will be fine in the Bundesliga every season.
What's more, if in the upcoming transfer market Bayern Munich recruits another forward, then of course that will make Bayern Mnich have a better attack and maybe also be stronger for competition in the Champions League.

Yes, even though Chelsea have changed ownership but unfortunately, it seems that Chelsea still haven't gotten a difference with the attitude of the owner who was too quick to make the decision to fire the coach. Indeed, during the Roman Abramovich era at least Roman Abramovich was still able to give the coach time to restore the team's performance, but in the end Roman Abramovich was also able to quickly fire the coach.
Now in the Todd Boehly era, in fact, this habit seems to be repeating itself. If Graham Potter cannot restore Chelsea's performance quickly or at least until next season, then I believe Graham Potter's position will also be insecure.

But indeed, it is possible that this is the first step made by Todd Boehly, so it is possible that Todd Boehly will give Graham Potter more trust, who knows because so far Todd Boehly has only overhauled the previous management.
But if in the end Graham Potter gets sacked quickly too, then surely it's like something that can't be removed and a habit in Chelsea's management.

Loaning to other clubs is not the right way, because usually if a player is loaned to another club and plays well but in reality his performance will never be the same when he returns to his home club. Therefore, if Klopp is indeed a coach who has the ability to make ordinary players extraordinary, then at least Klopp can keep Nunez to stay at Liverpool and turn him into a better player.
Because so far Nunez has always been the first choice and it's just that, at the beginning of the league, Nunez got a red card which made his position not good.

But even so, Nunez was still given a lot of playing time so I don't think loaning Nunez is the right way.
Unless Nunez so far has no goals and his performance is very poor, then of course Nunez is not right to play as a starter. But with Nunez still scoring goals, it's basically safe for Nunez to keep and I'm sure Klopp will make Nunes even better.

Before I thought Morocco might beat Spain and/or hold a 0-0 draw and it would be decided on penalties but again and again, I stuck with the seeded team and also considered the result from Brazil yesterday. This factor is enough to make me not have the courage to bet on the minority because from the odds it is also clear, that Spain is indeed projected to win.
Maybe it seems that the results in the group phase do not fully guarantee the non-seeded teams to get good results again in this knockout phase, so the seeded teams are still predicted to win on paper.

I hope the results are in accordance with what was predicted, because it will really hurt if in fact Morocco can maintain their good trend at this moment.
Also, good luck to you because it looks like you are also pretty sure this match will have over 3 goals. Because I personally, with the Morocco trend in the group phase like that, have the ability to be able to hold the match so as not to produce many goals. So maybe that will also happen in this match, because I think Spain is very likely to get a stalemate if Morocco does a good defense, then of course this match will end in a draw or just win with a narrow score.

Right, even though Liverpool can recover, but if other competing teams can also maintain their performance and position in the standings, then it will still be difficult for Liverpool to return to the top four. Unless the competing teams or teams in the top four are currently unable to be consistent and continue to get bad results, then Liverpool could easily be back in the top four.
Also, I'm just reminding you not to underestimate Newcastle too much, because they have improved from last season and this season Newcastle can still maintain their good performance.

Therefore, with the good performance that has been able to be maintained by Newcastle, then of course I personally will not be able to doubt Newcastle this season. In fact I believe Newcastle will be able to be above Manchester City and may also be a strong contender in the title race.
Anyway, I personally cannot underestimate Newcastle because with them being the richest team, of course, Newcastle also has a big chance to become a strong team in the Premier League.

Who would have thought Brazil could score a quick goal in the first half and even, with a 4-0 first half win Brazil seemed to no longer have the passion to score another goal in the second half. In fact, with a big win in the first half, at least Brazil could still score another goal in the second half, because of course the mentality and/or focus of the South Korea players was no longer stable.
But yes, South Korea can still minimize defeat by having one goal, at least it's still good for them compared to not being able to score at all.

With this result, at least it can prove that the big teams will still have a bigger effort in this knockout round, but in the quarter-finals later, of course, it will be a more interesting match because all the big teams or favorite teams will face each other.
Also with these results, it is enough to make me confident to bet on today's match at least for the favorite teams will also win. Even though Morocco in the group phase looked good but at this moment or in this knockout stage I am sure that the favorite teams will get the results they deserve.

Villarreal is a team that doesn't have high consistency, so it's natural that its position never settles in the top five or six, but I agree that Villarreal is a team that is in the top ten. Even from the last three seasons, it can be said that Villarreal experienced a slight decline and then only stayed in the top seven. If this season Villarreal can't finish in the top seven again, then I think that's normal and at least Villarreal can still finish in the top ten, that's good for Villarreal.
Considering the teams currently in the top six, it looks like they'll be able to keep it going. Therefore, it seems that Villarreal no longer has a chance to get a European ticket, but at least Villarreal is not experiencing a severe decline like Sevilla.

Because this season Sevilla is clearly very chaotic, because how can a team that has always been in or competed in the top four for the past few seasons but Sevilla has fallen so badly quickly.
Even at this moment Sevilla is still working hard just to get out and away from the relegation zone. As a team that is used to competing in the top four, it is of course easy for Sevilla to get out of the relegation zone. But what happened instead was that Sevilla looked like a mediocre team that didn't have the quality to be able to recover quickly, it was interesting to look forward to.
