In the end I made the right choice for Atletico and actually for Benfica too, but before the match started I saw the odds were very different and it was like something the bookies knew so I finally changed my choice to Ajax. But in the end, they just capitalized on the first goal and then defended it really well. Messi and Ronaldo this season have become players who seem to be in a mediocre team, they were even eliminated from the UCL round of 16 and in fact, their squad is a squad that is better than their opponents.

Tomorrow there will be a postponed match between Mainz v Dortmund, this is an important match especially for Dortmund because they need to get a win to close the points gap with Bayern Munich. Yesterday Bayern Munich itself got a draw in its last two matches but unfortunately, Dortmund could not maximize the moment to continue to get full points. Also, in tomorrow's match Dortmund will not be easy to win because apart from playing away, Mainz are not a weak team and Mainz are in the top 10 in the standings.

If yesterday Inter won actually Inter will still be in 2nd place, different if Milan lose or draw then Inter are at the top. Anyway, Inter were still lucky to be able to end the match with a draw, because Inter almost lost that match until finally Alexis Sanchez was able to score a goal at the end of the match. Also, about Milan if you look at the statistics in fact Milan played well with full control of the match especially at half time, with a record like that I can't say Milan played badly like you said.

There are many other teams that are better than Manchester United in the UCL, I am really surprised by those who say Manchester United will get the UCL trophy this season. Because even so, they really can't be seen as the best team this season with their very unstable performance. Regarding today's match for the 2nd leg against Atletico, I personally still hope that Atletico will win today's match. I don't care that this match will be played at Old Trafford, because previously Manchester United could still be held to a draw by a lower-ranked team in the EPL and that was Watford.

By the way, the current odds show Liverpool remains the favourite, even though Liverpool will play away 3.50 : 1.90, because usually if the team is in such condition the available odds might be closer. Interesting I think, because even though they are in a good situation but Liverpool do have a statistical record and the final result is also better, but if I consider from their head to head and even though Liverpool dominate the victory they also often get a draw.

Is the information about the injured players you mentioned accurate?
Because even, I didn't get any notes or info about the injuries they suffered in the match, they seem to have only been substituted considering they will be playing against Barcelona in the next match. I think it's natural that they were substituted in a match, they should have a long rest for a better recovery, it doesn't mean they are substituted they are injured.

It looks like Inter will have bad luck again in the next match, although in the next match Inter will play at home but the opponent they have to face is Fiorentina which of course is not a weak opponent. Unlike the opponents that other teams will face in the top 4, they will get against weaker teams especially Juventus who will only play against Salernitana. This will make Inter completely eliminated from the title race and not only that, because Juventus is very likely to end the season in 3rd position which means Inter will be overtaken by Juventus.

The rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi will never end, as long as they keep playing they will continue to compete so for me it is no longer a rivalry between them but it is about the team itself. Indeed, recently Manchester United seems to have improved again but still, Manchester United is difficult to be consistent and so is Atletico. Whereas before, I was sure Atletico would win but because of the good improvement Manchester United made I considered it a little bit.

It finally happened, when all the top-ranked teams got full points, but leaders Manchester City only got 1 point. This incident will certainly make the points gap between 1 and 2 closer and Manchester City are not completely safe, because Liverpool will just get their 29th match in tomorrow's match against Arsenal. If Liverpool can take advantage of the match to get full points then surely their points gap will only be 1 point but indeed, it might not be easy considering both Liverpool and Arsenal are currently at their best.

I hope Dortmund can win big in this match against Arminia Bielefeld or at least win by a score of 2-0 or higher, because the opponent Arminia Bielefeld is a lower-ranked team which certainly can be a good chance for Dortmund to win with a big final score. It would be a shame if Dortmund could not take advantage of this moment to the fullest, because apart from fighting a lower-ranking team, Dortmund played at home. Also, their head to head is clear where Dortmund always win by at least -1.5, I hope this decision doesn't turn out to be a losing result for me.

Wow, so far until 70 minutes Newcastle can still survive from Chelsea, I think Chelsea will still be able to win in this match and break the positive record made by Newcastle. But it looks like Newcastle will still be able to maintain their unbeaten record, Newcastle so far have gone 9 matches without losing it is a very remarkable improvement the team has made from the relegation zone. Indeed, I also realize the situation of Chelsea and Newcastle is very different, but at least Chelsea can still play professionally but unfortunately, Newcastle seems to have really improved and it will be very threatening for the top-ranked teams next season.

Maybe the team that is in the top 4 in this round will get a win at the same time, after Juventus won away and with a good final score of 3-1 it makes the team above it seem motivated to win also in this round. There is no real reason for Napoli and Inter to lose this round because after all, they also had an opponent who on paper they would have won. So yes, although I also believe Napoli will win in this match, but it's still not easy because Verona is not a weak team.

Both Nice and Marseille are in fact like two teams that are not much different in quality, so I think the competition for positions 2 and 3 for UCL tickets can still be taken over by any team at least for positions 2, 3 and maybe 4. Also, I think Nice stay played some good football yesterday against Montpellier despite the draw, as Nice only played with 10 men. Regarding Marseille which currently only has a 3 point gap with Nice, if in today's match against Brest, Marseille can win it will be the same point. But I think the position will remain the same because it looks like Nice are leading in the number of goals but, if Marseille can win by more than 3 goals with clean sheets then Marseille will be able to overtake Nice in 2nd place.

The fact is that Manchester United can play well from the beginning to the end, although if you look at the final score of 3-2 it looks like a tight match but I see Manchester United really playing well in this match. I personally chose Tottenham to win and only bet on total goals like over 2.5 goals, my bet did win but I really underestimated Manchester United in this match.

Anyway, at least Atlético will be safe in the top 4 this season and also, Barcelona do look better even though both of them are trying hard this season to get back to their best. Both of them also have bigger targets to pursue in European events, but as I said before that even though they have big targets in European events they are now safe for UCL tickets next season. By the way, Barcelona today will play at home against Osasuna and I don't think it will be an easy match either, because Osasuna is currently in the middle of the table which will certainly provide a strong resistance to force Barcelona to make greater efforts to get full points.

Yes, even their two head to head matches ended in draws and now even though Napoli are ranked in the top 3, it still doesn't guarantee Napoli will win in this match. Also, I really don't have any calculations that can convince myself whether the match will end with a high or low score, the possibilities like that can happen in this match and are unpredictable.

But it seems that a move like this has no real effect for Russia itself, because even though many teams have been suspended and also many of them have received other policies such as account freezing that befell Roman Abramovich. In fact Russia is still on the offensive, not even a serious response from their president with what happened with the suspended team and other things too. Meanwhile, the suspension will be relaxed or released after the war subsides or ends, if there is no point of peace then of course it will be very worrying because it is very possible that the war will get wider.

Next is the match between Milan v Empoli, the two teams experiencing very different trends. Empoli are not getting a win in 11 matches in Serie A, it makes it seem like there is no chance of getting points in this match against Milan, playing away is a factor that makes Empoli increasingly difficult to hold Milan to a draw. So yes, a win on paper for Milan does look like it will happen, considering Milan need to be more consistent if they are to win the title this season and to maintain their top position.

I really hope there are a lot of goals in the match between Manchester United v Tottenham because even, their head to head is at least dominated by the end result of over 2.5 goals. By the way, before Ronaldo's first goal, there was actually a clear handball but the referee ignored it and no VAR attempt was made in the match, it's a shame but in the end Ronaldo managed to score and change the temporary scoreboard to 1-0.

Right now or at least half time ended in a 1-1 draw and also, Hoffenheim got the goal first. This result at least gives a little evidence that the competition in the Bundesliga is currently becoming more difficult, from Bayern Munich's last two matches in the Bundesliga, it can be said at least it is a fairly difficult point achievement. The results of different tournaments sometimes don't have a strong link so the teams will still be difficult to predict but yes, any outcome can still happen but at the moment I think Hoffenheim are not too bad either and can still put up a strong fight for Bayern Munich.
