It's true that the match between Brighton vs Manchester United was very boring because not a single goal was created. Even if the match is tied for up to 90 minutes, the two teams should be able to exchange goals to make the match more exciting. But the match was over and continued to the penalty shootout.

Here, in fact, the two teams were very even with each scoring the same 6 goals in the penalty shootout, it's just that everything ended when the 7th kicker from Brighton Solly March failed to execute the kick and the penalty kick from Manchester United was closed sweetly by the goal scored by Lindelof. With this result, Manchester United will qualify for the final round and will face their city team, Manchester City. Once again we will see the Manchester derby in the FA Cup competition this season.

Even if Osimhen later gets an extraordinary transfer offer from PSG, I don't think he will be rash in taking the offer. Better for him to wait for offers from other teams that play in competitive leagues like Manchester United or Chelsea. We know the two teams from England are still looking for a pure striker for the front lines next season and I think that guarantees a better future and career. But even if there are offers from the two teams, it's better for him to join Manchester United than Chelsea, we know Chelsea is currently so down with the existing problems.

Montpellier managed to beat Rennes with a narrow score of 1-0. Of course, no one expected this result, especially even though Rennes had an away match at Montpellier's home, as the team that was favored to win, they failed to steal any points. On the other hand, even though Montpellier suffered a loss after one of its players received a red card in the 53rd minute, the result could not break Montpellier's spirit to secure victory at home. The goal scored by Mavididi in the 84th minute also sealed Montpellier's victory and Rennes had to go home without bringing a single point.

So far Italian teams have dominated several European competitions and as you said it is still a possibility for Juventus and Roma to meet in the European league finals. But what is certain is that their opponents this time are not easy opponents to beat, both Sevilla and Leverkusen recorded consistent wins in the previous round and managed to advance to this semifinal. Even so, I think Juventus' chances of qualifying are greater than Roma. The match is still going on long enough and the results can still change depending on whether the team can continue to be consistent or not in the domestic league because that is also a definite consideration towards this semifinal.

In this big match, Barcelona managed to narrowly win 1-0 over their opponent Atletico. A new goal was created at the end of the first half and scored by Ferran Torres. This advantage lasted until the end of the match and Atletico were unable to equalize even though they actually threatened the Barcelona defense. This result made Barcelona more comfortable at the top of the standings with a total of 76 points and Atletico failed to come close to Real Madrid in the standings after suffering this defeat.

With the financial crisis that Barcelona is experiencing, it is very unlikely that they want to buy talented young players, especially since the current range for young strikers is over 70 million euros. But actually even if barcelona manages to get Firminho it's not bad and I think they are better off using the striker they have for a while while recovering the club's finances. As a striker Firminho is still pretty good, it's just that he hasn't played much minutes since last season and he can't compete with Gakpo.

Yes it seems that this week will be a complicated match for several teams in the top 4 and it is likely that whoever loses will definitely suffer a loss because inter won this game. But I predict that Roma will win against Atalanta with a narrow score of 2-1 and for Napoli against Juventus, I think Napoli will win in this match even though in the last few matches they have not had maximum results because they have drawn too often. But there is an important note and it is still a possibility that Juventus could beat Napoli considering they are currently in a happy state after successfully pushing into 3rd place in the standings.

Even though in my opinion this is a match that is difficult to predict who will win and yet Newcastle proved their strength at home through a goal feast in this match. Even for bets, I'm also confused about who to bet on to win, but if someone bets over 2.5 or 3 goals, it will definitely make money. The goal scored by Harry Kane is only for consolation and it means nothing. Newcastle scored his last goal through Wilson in the 67th minute and at the same time closed the final score with a 6-1 victory. This result also made Newcastle return to 3rd place in the standings and only a goal difference from Manchester United.

Maybe the bookmakers have never favored Real Madrid because they have won the champions league many times but almost still use the same squad. On the other hand, even though Real Madrid is still filled with veterans such as Bernzema, Modric and Kross, the presence of these 3 senior players can increase the confidence and mentality of other young players. Meanwhile, Manchester City may have better and better quality squad depth, but they all don't have a winning mentality like that of Real Madrid, that's why Manchester City has always failed in the Champions League and have never won this competition.

An unexpected result, a match that should have belonged to Reims, instead they lost at home to Strasbourg. Even though if we look at last week, Reims also suffered a defeat against Rennes, but in my opinion that defeat is reasonable because Rennes is indeed one of the tough opponents to beat. But Strasborug was able to take advantage of the opportunities that existed to score even though they also lost in possession. Reims needs to really improve on their form for next week's matches, otherwise they will return to mid-table. For Strasbourg, these 3 additional points made them move up one level to a safer position from the temporary relegation zone.

What's going on in St. James Park, Newcastle silenced the Spurs with a landslide score of 5-1 at this time. Although this is still a provisional score it is pretty clear Newcastle will beat Spurs today. Murphy and Isak recorded two braces in the game and it is likely that one of them would have scored a hat-trick if there had been no substitutions.

Spurs' performance in this match was so bad that they conceded 5 goals in the first half. I still can't stop thinking about a team that is struggling to secure a UCL ticket instead of playing without a fight. Newcastle have a stronger mentality than Spurs and this is spurs worst defeat so far in my opinion.

I thought Inter would lose again in this game against Empoli, but it looks like they are now starting to get back on track by beating Empoli by a score of 0-3. Lukaku scored a brace in this game and this win means a lot to increase the motivation of the whole team.

We know that Inter haven't tasted victory in a very long time and in the last five matches they have always had defeats and draws. Surely so many gamblers have missed the inter bet including me because they are worried they won't be able to win again. However, these doubts were answered in this match and Inter returned to 5th place in the standings. Congratulations once again to Inter.

I think the Lens vs Monaco match will be very fierce so that in the first half there will be no goals scored. But in reality Lens excelled quickly through two goals scored by Openda in minutes 9 and 16. While the victory is still in Lens' hands, I'm still not 100% sure that Lens will be able to win this match and Monaco will definitely try to equalize in the second half Later. But if Lens uses a defensive strategy in the second half, Monaco's chances of sharing points or turning things around will disappear.

Wolfsburg beat the host Bochum with a score of 1-5. This was an extraordinary goal fest for Wolfsburg at home to the opponent. Svanberg also scored a brace in this match and the only goal scored by Bochum from their player Broschinski in the 69th minute. This result strengthens Wolfburg's confidence next week because they will be closer to Leverkusen and also Mainz in the standings. Meanwhile, Bochum's position is increasingly threatened after this defeat because they are only 1 rank away from the relegation zone currently occupied by Stuttgart.

These two semi-final matches look very exciting and even though these two teams from Italy are facing different opponents, I think there is still a slight chance for Roma and Juventus to be in the final round later. It's not that I mean to belittle Leverkusen, I admit that since being handled by Xabi Alonso Leverkusen seem to be a very strong team and I think they also still have a chance to get rid of Roma, but Jose Mourinho has more experience in European competition, it will be a tough job for Xabi Alonso.

As for Juventus, maybe they are not so favored because their opponent is the king of the European league, namely Sevilla, so far Sevilla is indeed on fire and that proves its history of lifting this trophy. On the other hand, Juventus are also highly motivated after they received good news and returned to 3rd place in the Serie A standings. Well, for me this is a match that is difficult to predict who will qualify for the final round, but I have a little feeling that Roma and Juventus will be the ones will be on the stage.

Aston Villa failed to steal full points during their away game against host Brentford in today's match. Even though Aston Villa has had extraordinary performance in the last few matches and has successfully won successive wins over their opponents. But this draw is also not a bad thing, at least they get 1 additional point to be closer to Spurs' position in the standings. I think Spurs have to be wary of Aston Villa, if they fail to win against Newcastle this week, then Aston Villa has the chance to shift Spurs' position starting next week.

Real Sociedad cemented their win at home against Rayo Vallecano with a score of 2-1. Imanol Alguacil's squad performed quite well and completely dominated the match. Even so, Real Sociedad were very lucky because their winning goal was obtained from an own goal from one of Rayo Vallecano's players in the 81st minute which made them win by a narrow score. With this result, Real Sociedad are increasingly comfortable in 4th place in the standings and no other team will be able to disturb him until next week.

I think Chelsea have run out of coaching options and now Pochettino is the only hope for them to become Chelsea coach next season. Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is certainly also trying hard to bring in a credible and experienced coach, but with the current team situation, most coaches will definitely also reject offers from Chelsea. Quite concerned about what Chelsea is experiencing this season, even though they are one of the big EPL teams and due to management's inability to manage the club, this has had a huge impact on the team's performance in any competition.

Last season Manchester City only got to the semifinals and they were eliminated by Real Madrid. This season is still the same, the two of them met again in the semifinals and in my opinion the depth of the Manchester City squad is indeed extraordinary this season, they have extraordinary players, especially Erling Haaland who is a goal-hungry striker who will certainly make it very difficult for Real Madrid.

But Real Madrid has a myriad of Champions League trophies and is also the king of Europe's highest competition, with Real Madrid's experience, I think it's a tough job for Manchester City to get rid of Real Madrid in the semifinals. Manchester city just need a miracle if they want to beat Real Madrid.

It is true that it was an easy game for Lille to steal 3 points at home to Auxerre. However, with a 1 goal advantage it is still not safe enough for Lille, as we know Auxerre also has a good record in several of their matches and they have even been able to win consecutively in the last 3 matches. Maybe I don't fully favor Lille in this match to win and I have another view that Auxerre is able to hold Lille to a draw in this match later. The game has been running for 67 minutes and just now the score changed to 1-1 after Niang equalized through the penalty spot, it is likely that the two teams will still exchange goals in the remaining time.
