Napoli's achievements this season are purely the result of their hard work so far. We know very well how Napoli have progressed over the past few seasons and most of them often fill the top 4 positions. But for this season a surprising thing has happened and Napoli has proven its capacity through several talented talents who have continued to be consistent to provide the best results for Napoli. For Milan and Inter they are too lacking this season, they have had many unnecessary failures, but this is competition and every team has its ups and downs.

I think a draw against Liverpool is normal and even statistically the last head to head Arsenal were able to win at Anfield was back in 2012 and that was about 11 years ago that record hasn't been broken yet. So I wouldn't be surprised if at yesterday's meeting the two returned to a draw. But the next game against West ham can indeed be said to be a strong guarantee of victory. If Arsenal can't win, then Manchester City will be very happy and can shorten the gap in the standings again.

The match against Gilloise in the European league will take place in two days and after that Leverkusen will face Wolsburg in the bundesliga. This week will be a busy schedule for Leverkusen, moreover they have to confirm two wins in two different competitions. Maybe the competition in the Bundesliga is quite tough because there are several of these clubs, but I'm pretty sure that Leverkusen can take advantage of the opportunities that exist if 1 or 2 of these clubs start to falter later in the top 4 positions. Only 5 points away from the nearest Leipzig and that can still be caught up if Freiburg and Leipzig encounter inconsistencies this season.

When Real Madrid had just lost the previous match and Barcelona failed to add to the 3 points won at home against Girona. Indeed, if we look at this, it is enough to make me entertained by the competition between these two top teams, Barcelona should have been able to take advantage of yesterday's match to win and add points to the standings. However, what happened instead was a draw and this at the same time made the distance from Real Madrid, which should have been 15 points, now only has 13 points. 

Today we will be shown with the opening two matches of the champions league quaterfinal round. If we look at the odds offered by the dealer, it's clear that the host will be very favored. But I want to discuss the Manchester City vs Bayern Munich match first. We can see the odds for Manchester City @ 1.63 and Bayern Munich @ 5.20. It's very clear that this is almost unequal and maybe Bayern Munich will lose this first leg. Right now Erling Haaland is on fire and has just broken the latest record in the EPL and maybe he also wants to keep scoring on the UCL board later. But Bayern Muchen I think they will keep trying to get good results in this match. But logically I would bet on the victory of Pep Guardiola's squad.

The other match is Benfica vs Inter, it's quite clear how this match will go because Benfica is much better than Inter and looking at the odds I'm very sure to bet on Benfica's win. Inter will not be able to stop Benfica at home, they are still difficult to score and in this match I think Inter will definitely go home without being able to bring aggregate points.

After previously it was rumored that Gavi was with Bayern Munich, now it is Chelsea's turn to become interested in the services of this young player. It was even reported that Gavi's agent and representatives from Chelsea had met in Madrid. This further reinforces the rumors that are happening now and the possibility that if there are no more obstacles then Gavi will go to the EPL next summer.

Other rumors come from PSG who will continue to stalk Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea, we know that previously Ziyech almost joined PSG last winter, but due to a delay in documents that made Ziyech finally postpone joining the Paris capital team. But what is clear is that this option may also be an alternative if Messi later does not want to extend his contract with PSG, therefore PSG have begun to approach Hakim Ziyech again.

Maybe especially Chelsea should focus more on bringing in credible coaches, here I mean coaches who have big names in the world of football and have handled Europe's top teams. There are still many big names who are not currently under contract with other clubs, maybe you also know who I mean. But again, sometimes even a coach with a myriad of trophies will have a little doubt in managing a club that is currently undergoing a re-transformation due to being too hasty in making decisions at the start of last season's season and ultimately having a very bad impact until now.

Maybe I think it's more that Fiorentina wins or draws because we know that Fiorentina has a good capacity to beat Atalanta. Moreover, Fiorentina is playing at home, of course the guaranteed victory will be even bigger in the match later. But what is clear is that Atalanta will be greatly favored in terms of betting, the bookie places Atalanta's position above and this can be a risk of losing money if we predict the result of the match incorrectly. I don't think I will take this bet later, because the chances for both teams to win are still open and the chances of a draw are the same.

It's true that beating Barcelona is certainly quite difficult for Girona, but at least this team often provides fierce resistance. Moreover, they also have a target to shift Vallecano's position in the standings, but what is clear is that Girona will still lose in this match and Barcelona will go further and further away from Real Madrid. Can't wait to watch this match which will last about an hour.

Indeed, there are two options to make Leverkusen's move to the champions league easier, but if you see the biggest opportunity, maybe Leverkusen can make it through winning points in the bundesliga standings. In the European league they will face tough teams that they rarely face, while in the Bundesliga they may have memorized enough how each team plays this season. So I think Leverkusen's step into the champions league zone will be easier if they focus on the bundesliga and regarding the distance to the teams above it they can still be pursued for the rest of this season.

It seems that it's not about the problem of salary, Messi is still considering the offer of a contract extension from PSG. I think it's more because he is not comfortable at PSG. As football stars, we know how hard it is to receive criticism because the team they are defending has lost and Messi has also been treated like that by PSG fans. Therefore, until now Messi is so worried about his future, but if he has to leave PSG, it is better for him to return to Barcelona because there the door is wide open to welcome Messi and the rumors about Barcelona have been so strong lately.

Perhaps the obvious answer is that all competitions this season are over. Chelsea will definitely make a major overhaul, including bringing in a new coach next season and also maybe Todd Boehly certainly wants additional new players in the summer. For now, Chelsea's road to European competition has disappeared and maybe they can do it again from the next season. Against Real Madrid it will only be a game of entertainment and I have no doubts that Real Madrid will win over the two legs of the quarter-finals.

Maybe someone has forgotten the results of one of last week's matches, that Atalanta, who are so favored, lost at home against visiting Bologna with a score of 0-2. This result has quite an impact on their current position in the standings which makes it even more difficult because they have to shift Inter and Milan first if they want to penetrate the top 4 of the standings. In the next match, Atalanta will have to play an away game against Fiorentina and I think Atalanta will again find themselves in a stalemate because Fiorentina is a pretty strong opponent.

I don't see this defeat as a bad performance for Juventus, they have a very stable winning trend this season and can move up to 7th in the standings. So in my opinion one defeat in the last few matches in Serie A is not necessarily a benchmark that Juventus' performance is bad. Sporting, who will be their opponent later, is still a fairly balanced opponent for Juventus and I am quite sure that Juventus will still be able to win, especially since the first leg will take place at Juventus' home ground.

The last match in La Liga today will bring together hosts Barcelona who will host their opponent Almeria at the Camp Nou stadium. As the top of the Barcelona standings, of course, they are very happy with Real Madrid's defeat in the previous match, this makes their chances of becoming La Liga champions even closer. On the other hand, Girona is a fairly strong opponent and cannot be underestimated, I think Xavi must prevent Girona from being able to score in this match by strengthening the Blaugrana's defense even more. But I'm pretty sure that barcelona will win this match with a score of 3-1.

Even sometimes with pretty good statistics in the match it is not certain that the team can achieve the desired results and here Brighton has to admit Spurs' victory at home. In addition to the additional 3 points for the Spurs and one goal scored by Son Hyeung Min in that match, he also made his name as the first Asian player to score his 100th goal in the EPL. On the other hand, we will still be entertained in the following week because Spurs' competition with Manchester United and Newcastle will heat up to fight for champions league tickets at the end of the season.

Even though sometimes Benzema's performance is quite unstable, when he is needed at important moments he will always be the foundation for major results for Real Madrid. As we all know, there is currently no striker to replace Benzema and maybe Real Madrid will start thinking about transfer options for new players in the summer. Benzema's future at the Santiago Bernabeu may only have one season left and after that he will start leaving Europe, if he does not retire at Real Madrid.

Marseille played a goalless draw when they had an away game against Lorient and this result made Marseille fail to stick to PSG. But not only that, this draw made Marseille only get 1 additional point and failed to shift Lens' position in the standings. Statistically, Marseille is quite dominating with 60% possession, it's just that they lack to be able to create more opportunities. Lorient, which is targeting a win, must also be willing to accept this draw and they must be stuck in 10th place in the standings.

I'm not surprised that in the end Real Madrid is no longer serious about chasing the La Liga title this season, it can be seen how their journey so far and coupled with the defeat against Villareal last week proves they have started to forget about this title and are more focused on the two remaining competitions. namely the Copa Del Rey and the Champions League. Carlo Ancelotti as a coach did his job quite well, even though he was responsible for some minor results, so with the remaining competitions that exist now, he must exert all his strategies to win the title.

Schalke is not as usual, even though they can often hold much stronger teams to draws and in the last 5 matches they have now made it their second defeat last night. Maybe this result is far from their expectations to continue to be able to stay away from the relegation zone, but it seems they are quite able to accept this defeat. Hoffenheim will definitely lose against Bayern Munich next week and this can be confirmed from now on. Bayern Munich will still continue to look for additional points so that their position is much more comfortable at the top of the standings.
