But, if for example Manchester City is proven to have committed an offense and severe punishment will be received such as relegating Manchester City, of course it can still happen if proven to have committed an offense. At least, cases like this have also happened in the past but in Serie A related to Juventus, in the past Juventus also received severe punishment after getting the scudetto but Juventus was actually relegated and the scudetto was given to Inter. Until finally, all their star players is leave and only loyal players who stayed at Juventus like Buffon and Del Piero. Therefore, any violation if properly proven then the punishment can also occur but yes, hopefully a bad case like does not happen to Manchester City. But, if Manchester City is proven to have committed an offense, then hopefully the punishment is not as severe like relegating Manchester City.

For me, terminating Tuchel contract at the end of this season is not the right solution for Bayern Munich for next season, because Tuchel failure thisseason is only because of the impressive results that Xabi Alonso and Bayer Leverkusen have. After all, if for example next season Xabi Alonso really leaves Bayer Leverkusen, I fully believe Bayern Munich will be able to return to dominate the Bundesliga even though it is still with Tuchel. Butindeed, the decision has been made by Bayern Munich to terminate Tuchel contract at the end of this season, and this certainly makes Bayern Munich have a new coach again nextseason. But indeed, however Xabi Alonso is also still rumored to be receivingoffers from Liverpool or Bayern Munich, but if Xabi Alonso accepts Bayern Munich offer, then of course it will be good for Bayern Munich.

Even though if fr example Marseille managed to beat Benfica, there was still no chance for Marseille to win the title. After all, even though Marseille qualified for the semifinals, the fact is that based on the existing chart the winner between Marseille and Benfica will meet Atalanta or Liverpool in the semifinals. Therefore, if the scenario is that Liverpool still remains the leading candidate to win the trophy then of course Marseille will meet Liverpool in the semifinals. Thus, then I believe there is no chance for Marseille to be able to win the trophy and also, basically Benfica is a strong and good team too and of course it will still be difficult for Marseille to be able to beat Benfica.

After all, this season Benfica is also in a good trend in the Portugal League, because at this moment Benfica is in the race for the Portuguese League trophy competing with Sporting ranked first and second at the moment there . Therefore, of course it is natural that Marseille is one of the teams that has the lowest chance of winning the Europa League trophy.

But, if I consider or relate about their position in the respective league standings, then at least Manchester City is still in a very difficult situation in the title race in the Premier League standings. But about Real Madrid, at least Real Madrid has been fairly safe in the La Liga standings and therefore, then at least Real Madrid will really be able to maximize to play with great effort in the Champions League quarter-final match against Manchester City. Although, I also realize that of course Manchester City will also put all their efforts in this match against Real Madrid but at least, Manchester City still has to divide their focus also for the difficult competition in the Premier League. With such considerations, it seems likely that Real Madrid will get a better chance than Manchester City in this match.

But the truth is, Barcelona still looks fine even though this season Barcelona doesn't seem to be getting any trophies. Also, I think comparing Barcelona to Manchester United is inappropriate because after all, Barcelona crumbled because of financial deterioration, but about Manchester United crumbling but at the sametime Manchester United still has good finances. Therefore, comparing the decline in performance and financial factors between Barcelona and Manchester United is not very appropriate.

After all, even though Barcelona experienced a decline in performance and poor finances, but in fact Barcelona also still always qualified for European competitions, both the Europa League and the Champions League even though they did not win the title, but obviously Barcelona was still better than Manchester United. The point is, as long as Barcelona can still finish in the top four even if they don't win the trophy, at least that result is still good for Barcelona during the bad situation the club is experiencing.

Do you think that Inter is just a mediocre team, and is at the top of the standings just by luck?

I'm wonder, how a scenario like that could cross your mind, especially also so far it seems like Inter's main players are still fine and not injured. Moreover, even if, for example, Inter's main players are injured, of course, Inter still has good abilities to be able to maintain the top position in the standings until the end of the season . I personally am not an Inter fan either, but thinking that Inter failed to win the Scudetto is something impossible and just empty wishful thinking, because basically Inter is a big team with above average quality in Serie A and therefore, of course whatever The situation Inter in the rest of the season is of course Inter is capable and will certainly maintain its position at the top of the Serie A standings until the end of this season.

It's true, at this moment Arsenal deserves to be at the top of the standings, because Arsenal managed to have a lot of goals and also conceded fewer goals than Liverpool and Manchester City this season. But indeed, eventhough at this moment Arsenal can be said to be the bestteam in the Premier League, but playing awayagainst Manchester City still seems to be verydifficult for Arsenal to beat Manchester City at Etihad Stadium. Butindeed, eventhough it still seems difficult for Arsenal to beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, but at least it is still possible for Arsenal to end the match with a draw. Therefore, of course this big match will really be very interesting, because whatever final result occurs in this match will have a big impact on their position in the standings in the race for the title this season.

It seems you should also know that in the last twoseasons, Manchester City and Real Madrid have always met in the semifinals. Their first meeting happen in the semifinals of the Champions League for the 2021/2022 season and Real Madrid managed to beat and eliminate Manchester City in the semifinals and then Real Madrid won the trophy. After that, in the 2022/2023 season Real Madrid and Manchester City met gain in the semifinals and Manchester City managedto beat and eliminate Real Madrid in the semifinals, andthen Manchester City won the trophy. So ya, it could be said that thisseason will be the third meeting between Real Madrid and Manchester City, but the only difference is that thistime or thisseason the meeting took place in the quarter-finals. With a record likethat, it is clear that we cannotsay Manchester City is better than Real Madrid, because infact, theystill have the same goodrecord and results at least in the last two seasons.

In essence, Stuttgart only needs to focus on its position, and that is enough for Stuttgart to stay in third place until the end of the season and will get a Champions League ticket next season. Because after all, the gap of six and seven points with Dortmund and Leipzig remains a threat because it is still possible to be overtaken if the worst scenario happens. But indeed, Dortmund and Leipzig will also remain focused in the fight for one position to be able to finish in fourth place because the points gap is only one point. Therefore, consecutive bad results obtained could be very dangerous for Stuttgart because of course, Dortmund and Leipzig will make their best efforts in the rest of this season of course to be able to finish in the top four.

Xavi is a coach, so it doesn't look like the punishment is that long and as far as I know, when a coach gets a red card, it seems like the coach only misses one match so Xavi can't accompany the team in the match. Also, when a player gets a red card, at least the penalty is only missing one or two matches and not three matches. Thus, it will not be a problem if Xavi is not on the sidelines for Barcelona's next match in La Liga. Therefore, for the match against Real Madrid later, of course Xavi will be able to be on the side of the field to accompany the team in the match. In essence, red card penalties on players and coaches, I believe have differences punishment and are not completely the same and as such, I am sure Barcelona will still be fine.

At least, Liverpool will definitely win because Liverpool will play at home against Brighton and for me, it seems like this season Brighton is not as good as last season and because of the decline in performance experienced by Brighton this season, at least I am completely confident that Liverpool will be able to beat Brighton. Therefore, it is possible that Liverpool will be guaranteed to return to the top of the standings if the match between Manchester City v Arsenal is a draw, or if for example Manchester City manages to win the match then Liverpool will still be back at the top of the standings. So yes, to prevent Liverpool from returning to the top of the standings, of course with the scenario of Arsenal winning but unfortunately, the scenario of Arsenal beating Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium seems to be a very difficult mission for Arsenal to realize.

If you believe Allegri can provide good results for Juventus, then this season Allegri should succeed in making Juventus dominate Serie A. Because after all, this season Juventus clearly only played in Serie A but in fact? Juventus even continued to decline and I don't think it's worth it for Juventus to keep Allegri. Try not to attribute success to the past, because to be a great coach ofcourse the coach will be able to maintain goodperformance and quality for the team itself. But, if you really like Allegri to stay at Juventus, I would say congratulations, because then Juventus will never be able to win trophies again.

Even though Real Madrid and Manchester City always met in the previous two seasons in the semifinals, but in reality Real Madrid and Manchester City have never met in the realfinal match. Instead of meeting in the final match, in reality this season Real Madrid and Manchester City actually met in the quarter-finals. Therefore, I think this is a bad meeting for them because if they meet in the quarter-finals, then of course one of them will fall in this phase or in the quarter-finals this season will clearly be a bad moment for them . After all, so far this season, although Real Madrid has managed to be at the top of the La Liga standings, but the reality is that Real Madrid also sometimes experiences bad results. That means, Real Madrid is not completely perfect and as such, playing against Manchester City will certainly make this match difficult to predict.

Obviously, these three teams same need a win to get full points and also, because at this moment Manchester City are in third position and Arsenal are in first position. So of course, Manchester City will maximize this match to hold Arsenal's pace at the top of the standings and also to make the points gap remain close in the race for the trophy this season . What's more, Manchester City will also play at home, so of course Manchester City will really do their best against Arsenal later. Although indeed, of course it will still be difficult for Manchester City and Arsenal to win in this match, because at this moment they are really still in their best form and trend, so any results can still happen. But if I consider the factors that I have said before about the great chance for Manchester City in this match, then I believe Manchester City is possible to get a good result also in this match.

Yes indeed, I also think that the match between Milan v AS Roma in the Europa League quarter-finals this time will still be interesting. But for me, just because AS Roma this match becomes interesting the reason is, because De Rossi is able to make AS Roma have high aggressiveness in making goals, then every match played by AS Roma at this moment for me will still be interesting. No matter that Milan's position in the Serie A standings is better than AS Roma but anyway, the fact is that at this moment AS Roma also managed to improve the quality of its performance. Therefore, if usually Serie A teams meet or play against Serie A teams too then the match will be boring, but at this moment I think the match will still be interesting because AS Roma are still able to play well and are able to make good goals too.

If we consider about the one point gap, at least it is still a close points gap and it is still possible for Atletico to overtake Bilbao. But, if we consider about their recent performance then yes, at least we will assume that eventhough they only have a onepoint gap, it will still be difficult for Atletico to overtake Bilbao. Becauseindeed, Bilbao is really capable of maintaining good results and performance at this moment. Therefore, even though the points gap between Atletico and Bilbao is still close but yes, it still doesn't seem easy at all for Atletico to return to the top four. Because yes, the teams currently in the top four seem to have good ability to maintain their position in the top four.

In the next match, Milan and Juventus will both play away and also, the opponents they face are also at least not an easy team. Although indeed, Fiorentina and Lazio are also only in eighth and ninth positions, but that does not mean Fiorentina and Lazio will be easily defeated. Therefore, then I think Milan also still cannot give a definite guarantee to be able to beat Fiorentina because after all, at least Fiorentina also still has good results lately. But yes, it's different about Lazio at least lately Lazio has gotten bad results but yes, at least this moment Juventus also still has performance instability. Therefore, then I think any result will happen and no one can really guarantee to win for Milan and Juventus in the next Serie A match.

But the fact is, Arsenal are still very good until now and thus, Arsenal are able to improve their quality to continue to have a good performance even though it is nearing the end of the season. So yes, basically Arsenal in this season really have a chance to get the trophy, just about a chance and still not sure to happen. But even so, playingaway against Manchester City is certainly a difficult match for Arsenal. Because of course, Manchester City will also do well in this homematch to beat Arsenal, of course to take revenge for losing their first meeting this season in the Premier League. Therefore, although some at least many expect Arsenal to beat Manchester City but yes, it is clear that Manchester City is also not a weak team and will certainly target a definite victory in this match..

But in fact, this season is the third season for Clermont to play in Ligue 1, and in the first season Clermont played in Ligue 1 also that Clermont only finished right above the relegation zone. But indeed, last season was a good season for Clermont because Clermont managed to finish in the top 10 but unfortunately, in this season or in this third season Clermont experienced a decline in performance and was very threatened with relegation. Although indeed, Clermont so far only has 20 points and is 6 points different from Lorient, which is right above the relegation zone. Despite only having a gap of 6 points like that, I am personally not sure about Clermont being able to rise to overtake the four teams above them. Because of course, teams like Metz, Nantes and also Lorient will same try good and well of course to stay in Ligue 1.

I think Nagelsmann success at Bayern Munich at that time still seemed to be related about Lewandowski great performance. But yes, after Lewandowski left, Nagelsmann was also unable to produce good results at Bayern Mnunich. Also, in reality, when Nagelsmann was fired, it was at that moment that Nagelsmann also had a big chance of failing to bring Bayern Munich to get the Bundesliga trophy. But it is unfortunate for Tuchel this season, because it is still difficult to restore Bayern Munich performance, but at the same time the Bundesliga was shocked by the great success of Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen. With factors like that, I personally cannot blame Tuchel for Bayern Munich's failure this season and also, I cannot say that Nagelsmann is better than Tuchel because the moments that occurred in their eras were different.
