Manchester United have a really tough work to do today. They already had huge difficulties against Aston Villa at Old Trafford before. They had to make a comeback from 0-2 you know. Maybe they did it but this time they might not be able to do the same. They will need to improve their game in this one. However I see Martinez being injured once again. It hasn't been a long time since he recovered from his previous injury. This is really bad news for Manchester United defense while it is already broken. I think this is the point where Manchester United's winning streak in the league ends.

Mbappe didn't play in this game even for a minute but it was still no problem for PSG. They beat Lille by 3-1 anyway. Despite conceding a very early goal they were comfortable with making a comeback in a short time. I don't know why Mbappe didn't play by the way. I assume Luis Enrique wanted to rest him instead. They are already in a very comfortable situation in the Ligue 1. The point gap with Nice is eleven now and Nice's next game is against Monaco. In case of point loss by Nice this will help PSG have 10+ points advantage already now.

There is such a great chemistry between Vinicius Junior and Bellingham this season. The Girona game must be one of the best examples for that. I can't even imagine what would happen if Real Madrid bring Mbappe to the team as well this summer. There would be a very deadly trio in the attacking line. However we don't know yet whether they are serious about the Mbappe transfer for now. Even Mbappe hasn't made up his mind yet. But I hope he would end up with Real Madrid instead of extending with PSG for no reason considering his career in the long run.

Without Kevin de Bruyne, without Bernardo Silva, without Jack Grealish and without Kyle Walker the result is this: I really wanted the game to end like this so that Liverpool could have a somewhat comfortable advantage again if they won in their game but even though the manchester city coach is sparing players because of the european champions league, he will be forced to put all the best on the field to win the game and they will come out of this game with victory Just as we know him De Bruyne made a positive impact on the game once again despite entering in the second half. Walker and Grealish also entered in the second half and the reason must be the Champions League game they have in two days. But this rotation Guardiola made still didn't cause the team to lose points in this game of course. Haaland finally put on a great show by scoring two goals. He missed a lot of games because of being injured you know. It is nice to see him starting to score shortly after recovering. He is one of the most important players of the team in the end.

I'm very contented with what I saw in the Leverkusen - Bayern Munich game. Leverkusen showed such a strong character in the game and completely deserved this 3-0 win. I wasn't expecting Bayern Munich to be this ineffective though. It was like nearly everyone played horrible. I saw Boey in the starting eleven in his second game already but he also couldn't show a good performance just like the others. Now the point gap between these two teams has become five. While we are slowly getting near the end of the season Leverkusen have a huge advantage to go for the league title and finally break Bayern Munich's streak.

I must admit that for once I thought Roma were going to surprise me. But it was until the end of the first half unfortunately. They surrendered to Inter very quickly in the second half by conceding 3 goals without answering those goals. The defensive problems are huge for Roma and we can see them having big issues in this kind of games. De Rossi has a lot of work to do. He is even a temporary manager of course but it is in his hands to stay here longer. He will need to improve Roma's current position to earn a new contract. This could be done in the Serie A or Europa League.

... Real Madrid against Girona should share points.
Real Madrid crushed Girona by the way. After their previous head-to-head I was curious about what Girona would be able to do this time. But not much thing changed since then. Because Real Madrid didn't even let them play in the whole game. The quality gap was of course very big already but it still feels different as Girona have also been a title competitor. Now the point gap has gone up to 5 and I don't feel like Real Madrid would give a second opportunity to Girona. However this wouldn't still be a problem for Girona as their main target isn't to win the league title already. Even if they finish as the second it would be an enormous achievement for them.

More than anyone and anything, after this draw between Everton and Tottenham, other teams at the top of the premier league table like Manchester United, Arsenal, and Aston Villa are happy because Tottenham lost the point and they are now under less pressure than they were before. However, considering the recent drama that happened in Evertom and their financial issues I was not expecting them to be in the situation to get a draw in this match at all.
Manchester United? I assume you wanted to say Manchester City. Because Manchester United are in a really bad condition you know. Tottenham actually started great with Ange Postecoglou but for a while they can't show a good level of consistency. They have lost a lot of points recently. The biggest problem is their conceding too many goals. It is 35 goals in 23 games. Even Everton haven't conceded that many so far despite fighting for staying out of the relegation zone. Ange Postecoglou should focus on improving the defending now.

This rumor has been denied by Enzo agent himself, and said the player has no intention of leaving the Blues. It must be admitted that Chelsea this season has been very disappointing, and the media has taken advantage of this condition to create a number of confusing rumors. In my opinion, the rumors that Enzo wants to leave are not true. He is a player full of potential, he is still very young, and Chelsea made him the biggest signing in the club history, it takes time for everything to fall into place. Despite the disappointments of this season, I think if Chelsea sack Pochettino they will immediately improve. On the other hand, this season we know that Chelsea absent from appearing in the Champions League, and it is very likely that next season will also be the same. In this regard, almost all the players will definitely be very disappointed and want to leave. However, there is still hope for Chelsea to recover in the remaining matches of the second half, they can finish in the Confederation League or Europa League zone. Apart from that, next season Chelsea young squad will indeed be more mature and experienced, their chemistry will have been formed and ready to compete again, this season indeed be full of disappointments and there is nothing to be proud of from the Blues. Source : https://onefootball.com/id/berita/enzo-fernandez-transfer-agent-denies-chelsea-exit-considered-39010116Then it is good news. Because it technically doesn't make sense for him to leave after a short time passed. Unless there is some other big issue of course. Chelsea actually have really good players in the squad but there is just no proper team play in general. Transfers won't solve this problem clearly. Otherwise after spending an unbelievable amount they would have already become one of the impressive teams in the Premier League. The team policies should be revised otherwise no transfer will make things much better than this unfortunately.

Not too bad to be at the position I'm currently seeing em, though I know they have to work together and hard to earn the spot we all think they should be. Despite talks of it being the farmers league, these lads are having a Competitive season.
They should be against Nice if I'm correct, and Nice at home is one tough nut to crack. Hard one to predict to avoid defeat then they must try to get a point because I'm sure they'll not be able to win this game. For Brest, Ti's off course a good chance to see them level up with them current points, they should off course beat Clemfort who's had less wins against Brest.
I don't know, I think they should be able to get better than Brest at least for example. We should be seeing a team like Monaco at the third position at worst in this season. The points are still very close to each other so they can still get there depending on keeping a decent form. We are still in the middle of the season in the end. Yeah Monaco's next game is against Nice away. This is one of the toughest fixtures for Monaco now. Nice already beat them away once. I don't know whether Monaco can answer in the same way. Maybe not Brest but Monaco can take Lille's place this week as PSG are hosting Lille.

It is a big day in the Bundesliga. Because this evening Leverkusen are hosting Bayern Munich at BayArena. As I must have said before this is like the most important game on the road going to the league title. For both sides I mean. Leverkusen are in a really advantageous situation considering their placement in the standings now. Winning this game will make them even improve their advantage a lot by making the gap 5 points. Both teams will target a win here and I hope Leverkusen not to mess things up here. I want to see at least the same performance they showed at Allianz Arena before. Even that would be enough not to lose here.

Chelsea must be really surprised with Enzo Fernandez's wanting to leave these days. Because I assume he is one of the rare players with a this long contract. After seeing this kind of a contract I thought he was planning to wait patiently and fight for Chelsea to get better in time. But being this horrible for two seasons must have caused him to run out of patience. I think he is a great player with big potential. But he would cost quite high numbers for interested teams. Chelsea paid 120 million euros for him. I don't feel like they would be able to make profit in his sale. A rich team might want to take advantage of Chelsea's condition and try to sign him for a much lower price.

There is a Milan - Napoli game as well which is to be played tomorrow night. Firstly I would like to remind that Osimhen is still on national duty now. Nigeria have reached the finale in the AFCON you know and that game is also tomorrow. Without Osimhen it is like an extra difficulty for Napoli at San Siro. I also see Milan one step ahead of their opponent just as bookmakers do. Both of these teams have poor defending this season considering the number of goals they have conceded. But when it comes to scoring productivity Milan are way better. They should show this difference clearly on the pitch by getting a decent win too.

although everton has just been able to draw totenham hotspur. but manchester city is very different. manchester city is a stronger team. and manchester city is still in the championship race so the orientation is pragmatic to win and points. and everton is a weak team and has to do an away match at manchester city's home.
Everton drew with Tottenham maybe but it was thanks to a last minute goal. Manchester City are indeed a way more powerful opponent than Tottenham. Everton are already having big difficulties this season. After the points penalty they got things are even more difficult for them during the rest of the season. Sometimes they steal points from bigger teams such as the Tottenham example. However I don't think they can even get near doing that at Etihad today. Every single game is critical for Manchester City on the road going to the league title. I don't expect them to make any mistake here.

Another easy game ahead for Barcelona... I assume they would manage to get a decent win against Granada home as well. But they are still hopeless when it comes to the title competition in my opinion.
I mean I know that the point gap with Real Madrid and Girona is less than 10 points. But when it comes to the way Barcelona play it isn't just convincing you know. Their defending is terrible and they are desperate against teams which are playing a strong attacking game. I think the best position Barcelona can finish the season at is the second depending on Girona's consistency.

Al-Ittihad are expected to make another move for Mohamed Salah this summer. As you might remember they made an offer after the end of the previous summer transfer window. But their offer was turned down by Liverpool because of being out of a transfer window. But this summer they will have a chance to find a replacement for him if they let him go. Klopp must be hoping to see him staying despite Klopp himself being about to leave by the end of the season. I wonder what Salah is thinking about his future. His contract still lasts until 2025. I think they should keep Salah until the end of his contract even if he doesn't extend more.

Monaco are just really bad this season. Not only in the cup I mean but also the Ligue 1. They have lost a lot of points in the league so far and they are out of the Champions League spots at the moment. They are still not far away from those spots by points of course. But this performance needs to be improved more if they want to make it. The Ligue 1 has a quota of three teams to join the Champions League groups directly this season. Even the fourth finishing team have a chance through qualification phase. Monaco shouldn't miss this chance by maintaining a poor performance.

I'd even place Stuggart right now ahead of these Borrussia Dortmund. Still not consistent but they're currently in a better place than these players at Dortmund.
Exactly. I would also put Stuttgart in front of Dortmund when it comes to performance in general of the season. I must admit something here though that Stuttgart are this powerful thanks to Guirassy's great individual performance. He has been a goal machine for them so far and this helped carrying the team to the third position as well. If Stuttgart didn't have Guirassy then I wouldn't have expected much from them to achieve. Do you think Stuttgart's journey would end by joining the Champions League group stage too?

Real Madrid seem like they want to make the squad younger by signing quite talented players these days. However they are still caring about keeping useful experienced players in the squad as well. Otherwise Modric would have already been sent from the team. Therefore I think Kroos could still be offered a contract extension and I assume he would accept it. But let's see if they will prove me wrong about Kroos. In case Kroos leaves at the end of the season maybe we could see him going to Saudi Arabia. I assume there would be an offer by a team there as well in the summer.

I must admit that I was impressed by Athletic Bilbao's win over Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey. They really captured a significant advantage before the rematch home. This season in general is going on just great for Athletic Bilbao actually. Because they must be playing even over the expectation level in the league as well. They are competing for top four technically even though their job isn't easy at all. It would really be an extra work if they make it to the Champions League. They are already deserving the fifth position completely considering the performance of their nearest opponents.
