Girona completed the match in week 19 or the first half of the season perfectly, beating ATM through a very fierce drama, now everyone has to respect them. Moratta hat trick was in vain, an additional goal from Ivan Martin confirmed their position at the top of the standings with Madrid. Who would have thought that they would manage to beat a tough team again, lucky for those who bet on Girona winning.

I think all assumptions at the start of this season La Liga campaign have been shattered, that Girona can only win when facing average clubs. Now Michel squad has proven to everyone that La Liga is not just about Madrid, Barcelona and ATM, now there is Girona to take into account, Girona status has risen to become the most serious title contender along with Madrid.

Girona statistics improve automatically in many ways, along with the consistency they have managed to create so far. I think that in the second half of the season Girona will not be much different, they can be stable because they only participate in domestic competitions. This means that their challenge to maintain their position is not as much as Madrid, Barcelona and ATM, which have more matches scheduled.

Ups and downs in performance will definitely come to all clubs, we understand that there are many factors behind this, the club that gets the least amount of this situation will be lucky to lead the standings, yes I mean Liverpool. But on other hand, it is still doubtful that the position of Klopp squad will remain stable in the future, This means that the club currently in the top four has the opportunity to overtake Liverpool in the remaining matches ahead.

I admit that Man City has all the attributes and resources needed to maintain its dominance again this season. Likewise with Aston Villa and Arsenal, which I think also has the same thing, and we also have to be fair that their chances of competing for the EPL trophy are still quite big.

If Pep Guardiola squad has a big chance of overtaking Liverpool, then I think Aston Villa and Arsenal also have it and even we can't close our eyes to Tottenham existence. the dynamics of competition in winning the EPL trophy this season are very tight, I think the broader meaning of competitiveness can be interpreted as meaning that mediocre clubs also have the potential to steal points from favorite clubs.

I am sure that Son will stay at Tottenham until 2025, and it is also possible that Tottenham management could release their striker if they receive an attractive offer, like Kane who went to Bayern Munchen. From a business perspective, of course Tottenham wants to do this, considering that Son is approaching 32 years old.

SPL has not stopped developing crazy transfer rumors, but I still doubt that Al Ittihad can recruit Son. From a financial perspective, of course we don't doubt the amount of money they have, but in this January transfer window it seems unlikely they will be able to bring Son there.

Ange, with his target in the EPL, certainly doesn't want to let him go this season because he hasn't been able to find a new striker with qualities close to Son in a short time. If Son is released, then we will see a drastic decline in Tottenham performance in the EPL in a short time.

I agree with you, the Premier League is more competitive than the Bundesliga, so it's not surprising that Kane can score lots of goals now. If Kane appears fit until the end of the season, then he can set a record for his first season in scoring goals. So far, Kane has scored 25 goals and 8 assists in 22 matches in all competitions. I think with many more matches ahead, Kane can add even more goals to his tally.

The amount paid by Bayern Munchen is equivalent to his contribution, his move from Tottenham is considered a very good choice for his career. At least Kane has the opportunity to win a trophy, rather than staying at Tottenham without having that opportunity at all. However, now that Laverkusen is seriously challenging the championship trophy, it is hoped that Kane presence can maintain Bayern Munchen dominance this season.

I think Kane also has the opportunity to win the UCL trophy with Bayern, because we know they are very favorites in the UCL along with Man City and Real Madrid. Apart from all that, I'm sure Kane can taste trophies with Bayern, so his move from Tottenham was not in vain.

There are many rich clubs but only two clubs have the right to advance to the final. Man City versus Madrid, I agree is an ideal match, and between them there is Bayern Munchen who are also equally favourites. Apart from these three clubs, I think all the contestants have the same big chance, and who knows, with the squad they have, they can talk a lot and make a surprise by beating the rich clubs.

Defending a trophy is more difficult than winning it, that's what Pep Guardiola squad currently feels. Very reasonable, Pep must motivate his troops to remain hungry for the championship trophy, not to quickly become complacent with the achievements they have achieved. However, for now, City has a big chance to repeat last season success even though they have slumped in the EPL for several weeks.

It is possible that an ideal match like a final could occur earlier, bringing together the favorite teams in the semi finals. However, it is still too early to talk about this, because the round of 16 has not yet been played. It could be that all predictions are broken, we never know for sure how each contestant will perform in the future, we need to wait a while.

I think Luis Enrique doesn't dare to take a big risk to rotate players, because this is a Final match. That's the reason that I think is very reasonable, the selection of the starting XI this time went according to plan, PSG led the match 2-0. It doesn't look like Toulouase can make a comeback to turn things around, and PSG will lift their first trophy this year.

If the score increases again, Enrique will rotate his players, giving the substitutes time to experience the atmosphere of the French Super Cup Final. On the other hand, if I'm not mistaken, Mbappe is now officially the top scorer for PSG, with a total of 111 goals throughout his career at SPG. But we'll see how this match ends, what is clear is that Enrique will be smiling broadly tonight.

Ancelotti future at the Santiago Bernabeu really depends on the number of trophies he is awarded, the number of years on his contract is just a formality for Perez, he is willing to pay compensation if Madrid experiences a decline in performance under Ancelotti leadership. But I think that is still very far from speculation, now the cold hands of the man from Italy are polishing Madrid to the championship ladder.

Throughout his managerial career, Ancelotti has never been the head coach of any national team, it is recorded that Ancelotti was only the assistant coach of the Italian national team in 1992-1995. Most recently, Ancelotti admitted that he once communicated with the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF), the situation changed after the CBF President was replaced, and Ancelotti renewed his contract with Los Blancos.

It could be that in the future Ancelotti will have another opportunity to coach one of the national teams, age is just a number and it's not a big problem. Van Gaal coached the Dutch national team at the Qatar World Cup at the age of 72, I think Ancelotti can surpass that record if he is not constrained for anything.

On paper there is no doubt in saying that Juventus can beat Salernitana, because Allegri squad is not busy with European competitions this season, it is clear they want to win every domestic competition they participate in. Looking at Juventus previous statistical records, I predict Salernitana can't do much in this match, they need a miracle to beat the Bianconeri.

Considering that the match will be held at Juventus venue, this of course adds to Allegri squad motivation to advance to the quarter finals. There isn't much that can be said about Filippo Inzaghi current squad, their chances of winning are very low as is their current position in the Serie A standings.

I think Juventus is one of the favorite teams in the Coppa Italia, as well as in Serie A. Allegri is able to make the club appear consistent, even though the challenges he faces are very different from other teams, I mean like in the case of Pogba and Fagioli.

Of course, the match between Girona and ATM is very interesting, because it will emphasize their respective positions in the standings. I am sure this match will be intense, because both of them have prepared the best strategy to secure full points, personally it is difficult to predict the end of the match.

We have seen Girona appear very consistent in the previous half of the season, their statistics even matched Madrid record. Girona chances are slowly increasing to become title contenders, beating ATM to take over the top of the standings from Madrid temporarily is their current ambition.

However ATM, which has the status of one of the big teams in La Liga, will certainly be risking its prestige here, besides from their ambition of wanting an additional three points. Even though he acts as a guest, I don't think this has much of an impact on Diego Simeone squad, ATM opportunity to steal points is quite open.

This is a very complex competitive dynamic where each team still has a big chance of winning the title, Ups and downs in performance will definitely occur for each team and this is normal. I agree with you, Until the point gap becomes wider, there is no guarantee that the position will be safe.

Liverpool, Aston Villa, Man City and Arsenal, who currently occupy the top four, have the opportunity to swap positions, and Tottenham could even have a great chance of breaking into the UCL zone. we can only say that the competition will be increasingly fierce, and we cannot predict which of them will finish as champions at the end of the season.

It could be that a club that dropped a lot of points in the first half of the season will bounce back in the second half of the season, and that's the kind of thing that I think attracts more attention. on the other hand, two other elite clubs, Man United and Chelsea, are experiencing a decline in their identity as big clubs, Who knows, These two clubs will rise and create surprises in the future.

PSG lacks one thing, namely luck, while in other sectors Luis Enrique squad has the ideal attributes and resources to become the favorite team to win the Champions League trophy. I agree that if Enrique manages the club for the next two or three seasons, PSG will have better bargaining power to become number one in Europe. Enrique will be supported by a large budget to build a squad according to his wishes, and we certainly understand that to be successful in the Champions League you don't have to have a star-studded team.

For domestic competition, PSG dominance is very difficult for other teams to match and surpass, even though they are not performing at their best at the moment, it is evident that no team has consistently suppressed PSG dominance in Ligue 1. Only time will tell when PSG will have a smooth path to success. won the Champions League trophy, for this season I am also a little doubtful that they will be able to talk much, because we know PSG is having difficulty qualifying from the group phase.

Week 19 Big Match between Roma vs Atalanta is interesting to watch, if the match ends in a draw then Napoli will be very lucky, provided they are able to beat Torino. Competition with the ambition to penetrate European competition, losing points will have a big impact on positioning in the standings.

Meanwhile, the two clubs currently challenging for the title, Inter Milan and Juventus, will face mediocre clubs, the opportunity to secure full points and confirm their respective positions at the top is very large. If you want to bet on these two clubs, then I think it will be quite safe because their performance is very consistent.

On the other hand, the transfer window has opened but I haven't seen any big names joining any of the clubs in Serie A at the moment. It could be that it's still very early, so there hasn't been much reaction from clubs to actively move in the transfer window, I'm curious about the players Juventus are targeting this January, they need to recruit new players to fill the hole left by Pogba.

I hope Tottenham will show the same energy as when facing Man City, for me it was the best performance of Ange squad so far, if that can be done then it's finished Man United. I am optimistic that Ange can bring his fleet to finish in the top four of the standings, so that he can appear in the UCL next season.

The Tottenham versus Man United match is indeed an interesting one in week 21, the Red Devils have the potential to lose points if Ten Hag chooses the wrong starting XI. To be honest, this big match is very difficult to predict, because United often perform well when facing other big clubs.

But despite all that, both Ten Hag and Ange will use this match as a reference in hunting for new players, because we know the transfer window has opened. Considering that the second half of the season will be increasingly fierce, both coaches need to evaluate the shortcomings in their respective squads.

It makes sense, Ronaldo movements have always attracted many people, especially if you look at the record he recently set, perhaps no player can do that at the age of 38. If Al Nassr wins the SPL and Ronaldo becomes top scorer, then the image of the SPL will improve even more, I am very sure about that. the impact of Ronaldo presence is very big on the progress of the SPL, there will be many more top european players who will be tempted to move to the SPL by Ronaldo, he has had a big influence. his thoughts and ambitions do not yet show signs of being sufficient, even though we know that he is already very old for a professional player, but that is the challenge for himself, that age does not limit him from continuing to work on the field.

I think a change of manager is the main requirement for the Brazilian national team to recover and qualify from the current qualifying round, overall their chances of qualifying are still very open. The match schedule is still very long, giving Neymar and his colleagues time to continue improving themselves until the match starts.

Ancelotti has officially extended his contract with Madrid, the Brazilian national team management must bury their dream of getting the Italian signature. Some great coaches are still available, but to increase their chances of having a big say in the next World Cup, I think they will have to be selective in choosing a new manager.

Sometimes it is useless to have a good depth of players, a star studded team or so on if their coach does not match most of the player profiles. What I mean more broadly is that Brazil needs a coach who understands their football culture, a coach who understands the background of the players well, so that the strategy used goes according to plan, so that it will make it easier for them to achieve the targets set.

I think PSG is very lucky because their competitors in Ligue 1 were unable to match or surpass them, even at the start of the campaign PSG not led the standings for several weeks. Adaptation sometimes goes easily, but this season a lot of work has been handed over to Enrique as the new tactician, I think their adaptation process is not completely bad.

I agree that PSG performance in the Champions League was disappointing, but again I have to say they were lucky to qualify for the round of 16. Enrique faces many challenges, the biggest of which is potentially losing Mbappe, I can't imagine what their situation, what would be like if the transfer was actually realized.

I think that applies in general, not just Liverpool. Because all teams are not guaranteed to win the trophy, there are challenges that will be faced in the future, player injuries, card accumulation and so on. The consistency of a club at the domestic level cannot be used as a complete reference, because each competition has very different competition and competitors, especially the European League which is full of surprises. Overall, let see what the chances of each team going forward after the play off round is completed, and who the opponents they will face in the round of 16. On the other hand, if you have to choose which team has the most potential to win the Europa League this season, then Liverpool and Laverkusen are worth considering.

To match Zidane record, the opportunity is quite open, but to make it happen requires great luck, because Zidane done it consecutively. I admit that Ancelotti is a great manager, he has experience coaching in various leagues with big clubs, I am sure that during this second period, Ancelotti can present at least one UCL trophy for Madrid.

Apart from that, what makes Ancelotti have a great opportunity to continue to dominate Europe is the support of squad depth, thanks to the club stable finances Los Blancos can buy quality players, and what is great is that Perez really emphasizes that the transition of players in Madrid core squad is going well.

Keeping Ancelotti until 2026 is a wise deal, if there are no dismissals or resignations, Ancelotti can win many trophies for Madrid during his time in charge. But let see this season first, to what extent Ancelotti cold hands work, and how many trophies he can bring to the club.

Regarding Man United transfer rumors, previously we already knew that Jadon Sancho was having a dispute with Ten Hag, now the transfer window has opened. I am very curious about Sancho future career, Dortmund is reportedly no longer interested in recruiting him and prefers to pursue the signature of young players others Dan Gore by adapting to the club needs. on other hand, several other rumors regarding United transfer plans are also interesting to pay attention to. It seems that Ten Hag is still strongly supported by The Red Devils management even though the team performance is very unstable.

Van De Beek has officially been loaned to Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt, after having difficulty competing for United main squad to play regularly. In other news, Varane is currently in discussions regarding his contract which will expire at the end of the season. if Varane is not willing to reduce his salary then United will let him go on a free transfer at the end of the season.

We know that Ten Hag is improving The Red Devils defense line, several names are being linked. We also can't forget that last january the recruitment of players like Mason Mount was quite bad, Ten Hag has to be really selective in recruiting new players.

I think everyone is looking forward to the Turkish boy debut, and I'm very curious about his skills. Hopefully the match will be easy, I mean Madrid can score quickly and give Ancelotti the opportunity to rotate players, so Guler has the potential to get playing minutes from Ancelotti.

While strengthening the Fenerbahche first team for two seasons, Guler was indeed a key player at his old club, but in Madrid the competition for his position was very tight. Considering that he is still very young, his prospects of becoming a regular player in the future are very open, Guler only problem is injury.

Furthermore, if Madrid is able to create a point difference with closest competitor Girona, then Ancelotti will have the opportunity to rotate players more, including giving more playing minutes to two veteran players Modric and Kroos.
