If wishes were horses then this wish of yours could come through but then the circumstances around the situation is such that may not permit this wishes of yours to actually happen because they are almost too strong to be ignored or overcomed by mare wishing. The champions league is a very competitive tournament that requires much more than hoping and wishing to be successful in the game.

If a team will be able to win the champions league, it's obviously going to be seen in their performance from the beginning of the tournament and in greater part of their performance because they will be able to show their abilities over other teams they will be coming in contact with, and so far the performance of PSG isn't looking like bone that will most definitely get them to Winning the champions league as it take much more than just been in the champions league but your performance and your resilience which will be seen in their results .

PSG really wishes to win the champions league but they keep doing the wrong thing so it will most definitely not helping them get the kind of results they are aiming at getting because they would need do much more than that which they are doing now, they need to build on their team much more than that which they are doing now, they don't need much spending but building and they could get that which they want.

The dominance of Madrid was once again exhibited against CELTA in today's game as they were very domineering in both the possession and the attempts totally made I'm today's game , they also went further to show it in their results too winning by four goals without celta getting a goal in return, is a different kind of performance that speaks loud of superiority, their first goal was in the early minutes of the first half.

In the second half they also replicated the same performance they did in the first half and got an early goal in the second half and got the final goal in the last minute of the game , it was in the added time after 90minutes Madrid git their fourth and final goal of the game,rhe last performance of Madrid wasn't that bad and so I wasn't expecting they would do any worse against a waeak team such as celta which happens to be no way close to them both in squad depth and in performance so far this season, Madrid has remained at the top and ahead of teams like celta.

Madrid now comfortably sit at the top of the table ahead of Girona who is in second position with over five points so they are no longer under much pressure like they would have been earlier when it was just about four points difference away from girona and five away from Barcelona but now they have got much better difference and would allow Barcelona and Girona battle for the second position on the table.

Today in the premier league Liverpool did showed a whole different kind of excellence that gives me the mindset that the Europa wouldn't be such a great challenge because it's interesting to note that they were able to perform brilliantly in the first half of the game playing with young players who were actually not part of the first 11 and their second choice goal keep yet they had a very good performance.

If they are to meet most of the Europa teams except for Leverkusen, AC Milan and Roma I'm very sure Liverpool will effortlessly win all other teams and still gain dominance in the Europa,  even amongst this three which I mentioned, I think Leverkusen bis the only best contender for Liverpool because Manchester city which Liverpool did played against today and had such good performance is way tougher than any of these teams been mentioned so it's okay to think that Liverpool would still do better against any of these teams, with all these performance so far Leverkusen and Liverpool may most likely meet at the finals.

It's actually in predictable what exactly the Europa will look like after the round of sixteen because there maybe a few uncertainties that may come up with some teams and aswell it's a stage where they need only a single match to determine their fate but Liverpool still looks solid except something comes up by then as same also applies to Leverkusen too who's really taking lead in their domestic league and the Europa aswell.

The strength of both team are relatively close to equal like you did rightly mentioned a d I'm not in any way doubting that because I've seen that even in squad depth, Napoli has got a good dept aswell which can not be seen any less when compared to that which Barcelona has got. I think I wouldn't be wrong to say in their last encounter Barcelona was lucky to have taken the lead ahead of Napoli.

In this second encounter which will be in Spain it's actually going to be really tough like you have rightly speculated because Barcelona wouldn't want an embarrassment on their home geoud and Napoli also wouldn't want to end their champions league journey at this point so it's really going to be a fierce battle between both teams as they will struggle to move onto the next stage, it's going to be a determinate game hence the battle wouldn't be for the weak but for the best team amongst them both, in your words it's looking like Napoli has got an advantage due to the presence of osimhen but then Napoli hasn't had really good results outside Italy.

I'm not going to allow myself into the pressure of putting so much of my support on any of both teams but I will just watch and enjoy the game as I know I'm expecting to watch an exciting game which will determine whose going to the next stage of the UCL and the action that comes with the UCL causes one to want to stay glued because especially games like this every minute will actually count.

It was an early goal yet Roma is unable to have gotten an equalizer up until this time and they are almost getting pass the second half as they have gone pass the fiftieth minutes of the game already, Roam had earlier appeared like a team that has greatly improved in their performance but in this game I'm yet to see them exercise such prowess as they are yet to show the expected dominance over their opponent.

I've always had some resentment about Roma's new form after the arrival of their new coach because I've seen that Roma not been able to really perform well enough u see a good hand such as Mourinho this season only means that they are most probable not in the best shape this season because if you recall previous seasons, Mourinho has been with them he was able to achieve a few heights with them but only need some more time this season to figure out what went wrong but was not given such opportunity and so he was relieved of his duty sooner than was expected.

Fiorentina is just an average team and shouldn't have been Much problem for Roma if they are in that very good form they actually claim to be in but then it's looking like they are finding it difficult contending fiorentina and are aswell not looking like they would win them, this may birth the genesis of the fall of Roma once again this season, except if they are able to discontinue the loosing streak that's about to set in.

With great joy I would say the spurs deserve their flowers because they did exceptionally well in the early hours bof the first half it was looking like a dull games but later part of the first half the spur seem to be fired up and they kept the spirit high till the end of the game and we're able to humillate villa in the home ground, sadly vila was unable to secure even a single goal in all they actually give spurs a clean sheet.

I think spurs are back to their winning easy are are doing so well already and will definitely end up securing a places for the champions league next season if they are able to maintain na winning streak till the remaining part of the season comes to an end. I real enjoyed the performance of the Spurs because I actually didn't expect this from them, even if they were going to win I was expecting they would do it with the villains been able to secure at least a goal before the end of the game but they didn't give a chance to the villains to get a goal till the end of the game.

The spurs are now currently at the the fifth position with fifty three points which means they were unable to displaced the Aston villa even with their winnings, interestingly the spurs humiliated villa away from home but then I'm hoping to see spurs do even better in subsequent game because by their performance from the beginning of this season so far, they deserve to secure a spot at the champions league next season.

I'm really impressed by Liverpool's performance in the first half even if they are not winning,they are a goal down as Manchester city is leading already but then I'm still very much optimistic about their results because they performance so far has really been brilliant and incredible and they actually aren't playing with their main squad yet the performance is such that Manchester city isn't really having much chance.

Liverpool to me looks like they would be able to make come back by second half and possibly win this game, they appear to me like they are going to possibly get a comeback by the second half and win this game especially if Manchester city is still playing in this their presents pattern but if they get to apply a different strategy by the second half they may be able to see a way of staying ahead of Liverpool still because I'm sure Liverpool is definitely going to take a different dimensions in the second half, Salah may be brought in the second half a d that will mean. Game change.

Manchester city keeps allowing Liverpool to play behind their defense line and I see that as danger looming because Liverpool will not hesitate to take chances this second half unlike that which they did in the first half where they had multiple chances but lacked conversion to a goal but in this second half Liverpool may like end this game in a draw at worse Case but I doubt strongly they would loose this game.

An opportunity for Real Madrid to be able to add three more points to their points and get 69 point to keep them seven points away from Girona and eight points away from Barcelona which happens to be another big rival in the la Liga this season, Real Madrid has got the home advantage aswell so it's putting them at that more advantage because Real Madrid has had good results with home games this season.

Celta Vigo isn't a team that I see as been really weak but whenever it has to do with going against Real Madrid, they have in most cases not succeeded, according to the H2H Real Madrid has always been the winners most times, in their most recent five wins, Real Madrid has been able to all of their encounter with celta , although they have at some point won with only slim margins but has in other times won with bigger margin too aswell but it's more often with small margin but what has been more frequent if the fact that Madrid has always won most times.

It's very possible history will repeat itself again in today's game as Madrid is at this point very much in a good form enough to handle CELTA Vigo well enough to a defeat, considering what's at stake for Madrid if the are able to win this game because the gap between them and girona is very small and to confidently stay ahead they have got to win els they will now be chased closely by girona and Barcelona which will further increased the pressure on them.

Before the start of the game, I'd wished for just one thing, thst was actually PSG to win but it's really funny how the match ended other wise, PSG having to share points with Reims is actually to me disappointing because PSG had led in the game and still allowed Reims to come equalize which I see as an attempt to possibly win the game but for the resilience PSG had to monster at some point in the game.

The superiority of PSG wasn't obvious enough to me in this game, they would have had a far better dominance and gos in a games as this compared to other average teams in the Ligue 1 they do play against a d yet win without much stress and will be able to dominate the game well enough, though PSG tried with their dominance but I had expected it reflected well enough in their results but it turned out thst they were not really productive as all there goals weren't safeguarded well enough against their opponent canceling it, all the goals were gotten in the first half.

They were both unable to get any goals again in the second half of the game, they were both goalless in the second hd , pSG got an early goal in the first half of the game which got me thinking that they were definitely going to win this game but then it wasn't long enough Reims got an equalizer a d PSG was actually playing from home which gave me more reason to think they would win without stressing but the couldn't.

Although every victory Ina football match is counted as victory but then when ever a team wins by virtue of circumstances I don't get to feel it well enough as victory I should be considering deserving, a typical example is in the case of Manchester united winning thst game yesterday, it still feels to me like it was such a cheep victory and not one that's deserving of calling a win but then they got three points after all.

Settling for the Europa zone is one of the weakest Manchester united has actually got this season because normally I would expect they had gotten much more than this which they are now having to settle for at the end of the day if only they had used a better approach and had played better at the beginning of the season, even if they were not able to win the league title they would have been able to probably get a champions league spot by the end of the season. Manchester city going to visit Liverpool today is going to be one of the most interesting derby in the premier league today.

Most people are actually not finding it decisive enough to be particular about which team looks more promising to win the match today because both team are very much in a good form and are going to play with their best 11 which happens to be more reason we should be expecting an epic game today as the two biggest boys in the premier league will be having a clash today, Liverpool will be hosting lets see if that will be enough advantage.

The case of Leverkusen is a typical case of the fact that buying or adding players to the squad isn't really the problem rather fixing the team with what they currently have, either by building the team or even improving the players performance, you may want to add a player or two but not everytime a teams isn't performing so we'll that it means that the team needs to change coach or buy new players.

Sometimes the team just needs a good build up strategy and tactical approach which will allow players play optimally I'm their various positions well enough and before you know it these players are already at the top of the table doing just the best, the place of getting good players Ina team to boost the squad dept cannot be put out but then at the same time, you can actually build up a team to be very formidable that even without a star player they will be able to achieve much that they would have achieved with t he star player in their midst playing with them.

Sometimes it's not about getting a star player to play with the team but the ability of the coach to turn the whole team into that of star players where almost every player is a star and not only a few players been able to be the star such that the team becomes dependent on them and their absence will then mean losses to such team but the case of Leverkusen shows that every team can still be less dependent on a particular player.

The entertainment seen in the bundesliga this season tho not expected but it has actually been anticipated long before now by both fans and lovers of the bundesliga who has always wanted to see something different in the bundesliga long before now because they were all too used to the Bayern Munich dominance which has been the norm over the years so it's most anticipated to see what it will actually look like seeing another team taking dominance.

Dortmund and Munich has always been the teams who has always championed the dominance of the bundesliga over the years and now having a new trend is looking more like a breath of fresh air and attracting more attention as everything is in anticipation as to how the league will look like in the Dominican of another team away from the usual which they have always known to be Bayern Munich and Dortmund always trying to be behind or contend them enough to see if they would get a chance at getting to the top and probably have an opportunity to win the bundesliga .

Leverkusen took a different dimension in the dominance of the bundesliga and this is obvious in their performance this season, they have not only dominated but has also try to set a record of staying unbeaten aswell although the season is yet to come to an end but hopefully they will be able to win the League title staying unbeaten, it's really interesting how Leverkusen dominated the bundesliga keeping Munich far behind.

I'm sure Bayern Munich actually wanted to send a message today in the fact that they ha e been down with too many poor performance recently so it's made Many beginning to see it like they are weak and are not in their very best form but then it's turning out that they want to change the narrative and that's why they probably did that which they did with Mainz today and that's exactly what they did few months back.

Normally in football, it's doesn't matter how many goal a team is leading by, they will still continue to score more goals and lead the game ahead regardless because it will still count and at time for the sake of the records such scores are maintained regardless of the the margin how broad they are, Bayern Munich will now have their moral boosted after this game and may most likely get back to winning easy because such games only brings out that fact that a team has improved and their confidence will as well increase because they will believe that been able to win with such margin means they are now better and ready.

Leverkusen should pick up this message and understand that they aswell have to maintain their position by getting more wins and a few draws with no losses if they must be able to win the league title again by the end of the season and it's very much achievable as the distance between them and Munich is still very much far away giving them enough time to cushion any mistake if it eventually comes up.

The issues of a weak defense is one that can actually be frustrating because even if a team is so good that they get to score a good number of goals to keep them ahead, they still end up struggling because for every of their goals their weak defense will creat an opportunity for their opponent to be able to penetrate and get an equalizer except they have got a very brilliant goal keeper who can cover up for such mess.

Al Nassr is suffering such and until they are able to resolve it,  they will still continue to suffer defeat or probably have to end most of their games Ina draw, the y have got a good squad and that isn't in doubt, but they have to really see how well to work on their defense and then they will have a complete formidable team that can be able to contend any team in the Saudi league and be able to win the Saudi league title by the end of the season, such is very much achievable with Al Nassr I'd only they have got to fix the defensive lapsis  which they have got.

Al-hila is actually solid based on the fact that their defense is very solid so if they are able to get a goal or two in a game, they are able to make sure they hold on to the goal till the end of the game without conceding so much that their opponent gets to equalize just like it is with Al Nassr but then if it's by the attack and front line, I think Al Nassr is much better as they easily get goals but are only challenged with keeping it.

Well I don't think we should just rule out la Liga teams just like that in the champions league because if you could check the records very well, you will actually find out that the top teams who has won the champions league the most has got a la Liga team there so it just that this has revolved around a particular team in the la Liga but then other la Liga team too are aswell trying their best and are very hopeful to do same.

Atletico Madrid has show any form of weakness in thea La Liga and aswell the champions league, they have have a considerable average fair performance so far and should be considered one thats not a weak team or having a performance that will be seen otherwise, the only problem which you rightly stated which I agree that they have got is that which is with consistency, they often some times don't really appear really consistent but the. They do try their best not to easily crash out of the champions league and at least they got passed group stage.

Real Madrid is a la.liga team who has always tried to keep the name of la Liga always well represented in the champions league and has even don much more than some of the English teams who are found in the champions league aswell so la Liga teams hasn't been doing really bad in the champions league and even this season one of the la Liga team is a favourite for the champions league trophy this season.

Just like the sequence that have been observed in recent times with Arsenal, they had an early goal today again ad the first goal of the match was scored in the 19rh minutes of the game and then I taught again they were about to smashit with Brentford just as they had done in recent times with almost all of the average teams they have met where they have scored not less than three goals in every match.

I was actually surprised that Arsenal had stopped at just two goals because Brentford is actually like other weak or probably average temps they have met in recent times and has destroyed them with goals especially the most recent where they were able to score up to five goals in the first half almost getting to six which would have been a new record for them in the premier league, Manchester city even with their current form hasn't been able to achieve all this that Arsenal has been up with most recently and I can't tell what exactly is fuelling this new form of Arsenal.

Brentford must have prepared so well so as nor to be embarrassed like every other team thst had gotten an encounter with Arsenal recently and so they were able to keep a defense that wouldn't be so penetrable just like that of Sheffield which Arsenal penetrated without much stress. Arsenal is beginning  to look like they may at some point get to want to displace Liverpool and get the trophy this season, they obviously still have their eyes on the league title this season and see yet to give up on the race.

Lens just bas expected is most definitely going to win this game though the game is still having a chance of ending in a draw because it's already passed the ninetieth minutes into an extra time with lens still leading by a single goal alone a d a goal from their opponent will means a draw but I'm hoping lens will not allow such but will be able to maintain the score line till the end of the game which is in few minutes.

Breast hasn't been a weak team but I didn't see or believe they will be such a good Match for lens enough to cause lens to not be able to win them and probably share points with them or probably get to steal all three points but I personally think that at this point bit most likely that lens is definitely going to get all of the three points which will be keeping them at the fourth position with fourth two points, nevertheless breast was still able to maintain their second position on the table ahead of lens which has invariably means that the win was more important to lens.

Lyon was able to get three points from lorient this evening after beating them to a two nill victory earlier this evening,  they had all their goals in the second half of the game and aswell dominate the game both in possession and attempts such that L'Orient was actually struggling a d literally Hoping they would be able to get a goal which they actually didn't get but then the win was deserving to Lyon.

Looking at the records.in the table for me it's not really looking encouraging even with real Madrid who happens to be a top team on the table too, Girona is currently four points away from real Madrid that's if they are able to secure the second position on the table by the end of the game they are playing tonight, girona will aswell be just a Point away from Barcelona who will be directly behind them at the third spot.

It's either Girona tries to get an exa goal or are able to maintain that which they currently have already, either of which is what they need to stay at the second position by the end of the game, a d I see that as a threat to Madrid because four points is such they can just within two games been able to displace Madrid if there be any slack on the side e of Madrid.mkat like this match will end in the favour of girona as they are really pushing to make sure they win this game, they have got the possession and are really dominating the game well enough by their performance.

Real Madrid Amy not be really safe again at this point as they will need to make sure to maintain a winning streak if they must be able to still stay to the top of the table comfortably without any fear of been displaced by any other team who's currently trying to get ahead winning and gaining more points but then for now Madrid still remains the favour until another team gets to prove otherwise about Madrid been able to win the trophy.

Maybe at this point the Europa may not be really appearing competitive enough to you but then I'm very sure beyond this point you will get to see more actions and the competition will definitely come alive such that you will actually really enjoyed it well enough, so just a more careful and closer look you can still find some kind nof competition especially amongst the smaller teams but not with the bigger once.

The big teams seem to be having it quiet easy at this stage and are winning their games quiet shamelessly but then have also seen quite some few cases of what would have look like a tough game for them especially that with Leverkusen few days back but then I'm not seeing it as a reason they may not get lass this stage of the Europa, but with Liverpool and AC Milan it's not looking tough and difficult yet until when the big teams will begin to meet themselves then we are going to see another kind of action that will be shown in the competition especially amongst the elites.

Leverkusen and Liverpool as re the top teams in the Europa and we also have the likes of AC Milan and Roma who would want to aswell want to make sure they are able to get far int eh league and probably get to secure the third place in the league but then I don't want to believe Roma may pose enough threat as they don appear to have such form for elite teams like Liverpool a d Leverkusen but may be able to challenge other weak teams.

Although inter Milan won their game but then I still wasn't impressed well enough so I'd rather not give credit to their victory but will say that getting the three points to still stay at the top of the table which was the most important thing was actually achieved, they have successfully kept the point difference between them and the team behind them even much more bigger giving the teams behind them lesser chances of getting to them.

Inter Milan got only a goal in the early minutes of the first half after which they were unable to secure another till the end of the game, the first and only goal of the match did came in at the thirty seventh minutes of the first half which got inter Milan a lead in the first half and after that they were unable to secure another through the first half and even in the second half, it was even more intensed because inter went all in to see if they would be able to further secure a goal adding to that which they have already got but sadly they ended the second half goalless.

Inter Milan is now currently at the top of the table with seventy five points having won all of their last five games without loosing or drawing any, they have been on a winning streak recently and they are now  twenty two points ahead of Juventus, that's quite a Long distance I doubt Juventus will be able to make up for but will rather have to just settle for the second position on the table and hope to do better next season.
