That's the key, Bayern Munich hasn't played well this season, they often drop points, even at the start of the second round they started losing 3 matches, that's what made their point gap less and less and now even Borussia Dortmund can overtake them. Borussia Dortmund experienced a thrilling week, because they are required to always get maximum results if they want to win the title this season.
And it would also be great if Borussia Dortmund were able to take the Bundesliga title this season so that the owners of the championship in the Bundesliga could be different this season. But I still believe that Bayern Munich will still try to overtake Borussia Dortmund again in order to get another title this season. Moreover, there are not many points that Bayern Munich has to chase, so Bayern Munich will not ignore this opportunity this season either. because the Bundesliga also has quite a lot of matches left this season, the Bundesliga will be quite interesting with the struggle for trophies. more interesting because not one team has locked into victory. and that makes the competition between the two teams fighting for the trophy even more interesting. we see Serie A, La Liga, and Premier League, which are at the top of the table, have quite a lot of differences in points. now the Bundesliga is showing a better title race. The title fight in the Bundesliga will be interesting if the Dortmund team is able to maintain consistency. We have seen the Union Berlin team at the top of the table for a long time. But they have lost the truck and are now far behind. On the other hand, the Dortmund team is now at the top of the points table. If Dortmund can win the next match against Bayern Munich then this season will see the dominance of Dortmund in the Bundesliga. And if Bayern Munich gets full points in this match then we will see the dominance of Munich in this season as in previous seasons. Bayern Munich match against Borussia Dortmund will be a very tough match because it will might be a decider on who would win the German Bundesliga at the end of the season. Bayern will be at home and Allianz Arena isn't a ground that many teams would want to play in so for Dortmund to hey a good result from the match, they'll will have to play with their full strength and power. Bayern has been tipped by bookmakers to win the match but the energetic Dortmund team might pull a surprise. |

Considering they offered PSG 180 million for Mbappe just a year ago, it is hard to consider them suddenly poor, which means that they have as high as 200 million to buy a player probably, because they won UCL after that, and they must be raking in cash these days. They could get most players in that list, it is not about if they will be able to, it's about which one they will pick.
Mbappe is a player who wanted to play in Real for so long but got offered an amount that is unreal, amount that shouldn't be even possible, so it would have been stupid to reject that, now Real is forced to either pay for him a lot more, or just move to someone else, and Osimhen looks good, but I would prefer Kane, he looks a lot better because it's not just one season, he has been great for a long time now.
Mbappe has said in the past that Real Madrid is his dream club but when he had the chance to move to Madrid, he choose money over his dream club. Harry Kane has been consistent for years now, competing for the golden boot in almost every season, he is proven as one of the best in the game but I would prefer Kylian Mbappe go to Real Madrid and Harry Kane to PSG, both team seem to match both players respectively from my own point of view and I will love to see it happen. I am actually interested to see if Harry Kane actually makes an effort to play for the Real Madrid squad, especially after the sacking of his coach. We all know that Tottenham is not in the best situation right now. So it is not going to be surprised if Harry Kane tries to push a move with Real Madrid. It is absolutely true that Mbappe did choose money over his dream club when it counted. So there is no certainty that he's not going to do that again. And I wonder if Real Madrid wants to bring a player like that who is not true to his word and breaks commitment. Kylian Mbappe I think is the best attacker in Europe and I'm bodly saying it with being sentimental. Real Madrid knows what they stand to benefit of they can finally bring the football Star to Santiago Bernabeu in the summer and I don't think they'll be looking back at the clubs failure to hire his services last summer. Mbappe on his own has always said that playing in the Los Blancos white kit has been his dream while growing up and now that PSG can't help him win the only major title he's yet to win as a footballer, going on to sign for the reigning Spanish champions I think will be an easy decision for him |

I don't have a very positive expectation from the Cadiz - Sevilla match ahead truthfully.
Because I remember their last match against each other also. Sevilla played really dominant statistically but they barely won by 1-0 anyway. Rakitic's penalty goal in the last minutes saved them. Now they are the away team and I don't know if they can get a similar result at worst. They both have the same points in the league now and the same goal also. They both are targeting to stay in the La Liga. Sevilla have the Europa League to focus on more of course. But this shouldn't cause them to let the La Liga go. I would like to see them defeating Cadiz here.
Sevilla has now a brand new coach (Mendilibar) so chances are that your memories from the last match don't repeat. It is surprising how bad they have been playing, but nothing lasts forever, so I'm optimistic about their future performance and I hope they don't end suffering relegation, of course. Cadiz match against Sevilla I think will be a tight match the two clubs are on the same point and two points above relegation zone going into the fixture. Cadiz who will be playing at home will want to take all three points from the match to maintain safety while Sevilla who has been poor and short of their standard in the domestic league but doing well in Europa League will want to get themselves back to winning ways. I will be going for a Sevilla win on this one because of the influence the new manager is gonna have on the match |

Next week the EPL is off due to the international break. I am waiting for the big game Man City vs Liverpool. It seems to be interesting. But I read the news that Haaland did not take part in training. Haaland felt discomfort in his groin. In fact, he was already with Norway but the coach did not want to risk making his injury worse. Of course, if Haaland still cannot play in this match, it is an advantage for Liverpool. They must immediately evaluate the severity of the injury, but of course it will cost Manchester City if Haaland is absent. Liverpool could advantage that to win the match but considering Manchester City have a lot of forwards, so I don't think it will hurt City completely. after all, the Manchester City vs Liverpool match is still quite far, namely at the beginning of April. So things can still change, especially regarding the possibility of Haaland being available in the match. So far Haaland has struggled to score against Liverpool but he did and I wonder if he will add to his tally against Liverpool. Whenever I think Manchester City vs Liverpool, at the top of my head the thought which comes is Manchester City is going to be the winner. Of course, there are a lot of reasons for that as well. First of all Manchester City will have to win this match to stay closer to Arsenal. I still think Manchester City will be able to give Arsenal away good competition. But that is going to be a lot harder if Manchester City cannot get three points from this match against Liverpool. On the other hand, Liverpool will also want to win. Because they are not close in terms of points with the team that is ahead of them. Both teams need a win. I hardly see a draw happening. I think it is absolutely unfair to the Liverpool club to write them off the way almost everyone is doing at the moment. This same Liverpool squad met this same Manchester City squad earlier this season and comfortably outplayed and beat them. Wether Erling Haaland plays the match against Liverpool or not I don't think it'll be an easy encounter for Manchester City because Klopp knows how to beat Pep Guardiola's team. Manchester City might win the match after 90 minutes of football but will still want to prove that they're still one of the strongest sides in EPL |

I don't think, Lazio can close this gap 19 points to take over the first position from Napoli in the Italian league table because Napoli are very ready to improve their points more to maintain the position till the end of the tournament. Napoli strikers are really helping the team in the areas of goals because they always make their fans happy in every match by defeating their opponent with many goals that will increase their points. If Inter coach can work on their midfielders and strikers before their remaining matches, I think they will definitely take over the second position from Lazio.
I think this season has been one of the most challenging and fought in years, or decades I've never seen so many contenders for Champions League places, it's a fight to the last point to get into places Lazio knows already knows that the best they can do this season in the league is to maintain second position till the last weekend of the Serie A season which I think might be possible for them because the second and third placed Milan clubs are in the quarter finals of UEFA Champions League and will be concentrating more on the Champions League than the domestic league. The Italian league title is almost won and it'll take a disaster to stop Napoli from winning the league. Napoli will be playing in the quarter finals of UEFA Champions League as well but with the momentum that the team is playing with, they'll be competing in Europe and still be getting good results in the league. |

When Chelsea was drawn against Dortmund, many people overlooked Chelsea's superior performance in the Champions League compared to Dortmund's superior performance in the domestic league. In the end, we saw Chelsea triumph over them despite losing the first leg match. Experience counts in this league, which is why it's called the League of Champions.
Chelsea was almost making it by going to the next round if it's not caused by the goal in additional time that was eliminating chelsea last season. Chelsea will face king of UCL three times including upcoming duel. As a former coach of chelsea and i think that if ancellotti is also aware about what's gonna be a weakness of chelsea. Ancelotti urged its players to be careful against chelsea. Both of them will be equally careful and alert because they feel that either Chelsea or Real Madrid will definitely show solid football. This is what is even more interesting meeting to reach the final has always been a subscription for Real Madrid. Likewise, Chelsea also needs to work harder. Graham Potter may not have much hope in the Premier League and his position is already very disappointing. Then this is the only chance for Potter to take back the fans' trust in him. Real Madrid for sure are a better side than Chelsea in terms of quality players and history. They have been drawn against Chelsea for the last consecutive three seasons and as the European Champions and a team whose Spanish La Liga title chase is almost is over after they were beaten by Barcelona last weekend they would play in their full strength to make sure they beat Chelsea. Chelsea in the other has been struggling in the domestic league and has also not given us a convincing performance in Europe this season but that doesn't mean that the match will be a rollercoaster for Spanish club. Two season's ago Chelsea eliminated Real Madrid and last season, Chelsea were 10 minutes away from eliminating them as well until that killer pass from Modric that allowed Rodrygo to sweep home and draw level on aggregate with Chelsea. It'll be a very interesting match between the two clubs but Chelsea might defile all odds and make a history |

I love more of outdoor activities as a die-hard football fan. In Africa, football of strength, power and techniques are the most common and I enjoy playing it with my friends. Another outdoor activity activity I so much like is going to new and exciting places and making beautiful videos and snapping memorable pictures. But I wouldn't be writing off indoor activities because playing video games like COD and PES is one indoor activity that I do almost everyday with my friends.

I grew up in remote and undeveloped village in the biggest country in Africa that had not more than two millionaires in my local currency as of the I was still a child and I had so many memorable childhood moments.
Growing up in a village where just four persons in a community of over a thousand people had visual black and white television was one indeed a memory to look back to because we(village kids) would have to trek miles in the dark night to watch TV programs in the house any of these "rich" men and sometimes we would retire back to our homes without viewing TV because it's not every night that these persons generate electricity to power the TVs.
But the most memorable among all of these memories was swimming in the local river called "Oguochie" river with other village kids. It was so fun that we were spending over 4 hours on every sunny afternoon playing different types of local aquatics games, singing and dancing in the river banks as well. But today, almost everything has changed because of rapid development.

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 |
