The rematch of the Leipzig - Atalanta draw can also be really interesting. The first game was in favour of Atalanta most of the time. They played much stronger than Leipzig indeed. But Leipzig still secured a draw at least. But it is obvious that Leipzig will need to perform a lot better than that to advance to the semi final round. Otherwise, Atalanta would finish them in Italy by another solid performance. But it feels like this is the end for Leipzig really. Atalanta are preparing to eliminate another German team after Leverkusen.
Oh, I wouldn't say that Atalanta was clearly stronger in the first match, on the contrary, Atalanta was clearly lucky that Leipzig couldn't score in the end and still win the match. Let Atalanta hit more shots on goal in the amount of 20 against 14 at Leipzig, but still Leipzig owned the ball 56% of the match and struck 6 shots on target against 4 shots at Atalanta. Gasperini can be dissatisfied with the result of the match as much as he likes, but still a draw away is also a worthy result for continuing the fight in a home match. But I still would not be in a hurry to give the advantage to Atalanta, because Leipzig won its last match unlike Atalanta. |

Today, Barcelona played an away game against Levante. They did what was expected from them but it was very difficult at the same time. Levante were ready to surprise them really much and they were almost making it. But Barcelona were saved by L. de Jong in the last minutes and they won 3-2. The gap with Real Madrid is still 12 points but Barcelona still maintain their chance for the La Liga title now. However it is too hard to even imagine it for Barcelona logically.
Xavi said about this after the match with Levante that if Real Madrid loses points in the next matches, then maybe Barcelona will be able to believe in something more. Therefore, we can say that Xavi still hopes that there are chances for the title. On the other hand, Barcelona's winning streak is already 8 matches and it is absolutely not a fact that it will last until the very finish of the championship, the match with Levante shows it perfectly, because everything was hanging by a thread. Nevertheless, Real Madrid has some safety margin accumulated over the previous part of the championship and has the right to make mistakes and not just one, unlike Barcelona. |

City was better, they had more of the ball. but Liverpool came with good anticipation too. Both teams performed very well in this match. we can see when City's goal was then replied with a Liverpool goal.
According to the stats, Man City is clearly better than Liverpool. City dominated the match with 55% ball possessions, 11 shots, and made more passes during the match. However, Liverpool can make good responses, and managed 2 goals although got 4 shots on target only. It simply shows us that Liverpool played effectively, they didn't waste the chance to get a point. 1 point got by Liverpool in Man City home will be very meaningful, they can keep a dream to compete for the title at least. The point gap remains 1, Liverpool still has a big chance to overtake City. In principle, teams can be happy and upset about the result of the match, but still this result is more in favor of Manchester City, because the status quo has been preserved and City has retained the leadership in the championship. On the other hand, even a Liverpool win could not have a decisive impact on the championship race, except perhaps for the psychological impact that Liverpool was finally able to come out on top. A win by Manchester City would have had a more significant impact, because then the gap between the teams would have become 4 points. By the way, Manchester City also has 4 shots on target out of 9, and Liverpool has all 4 shots on target. |

We won't know who will be the champion until the last game comes and I think this situation is very good. It's good to see the quality of the Italian League improve. Milan lost points in their last match and they are again only 1 point away from Napoli. Inter will play 1 more game and if they can win this match, they will reach the same points as Napoli. Any team can still be a champion  these three teams still have the same chance to win the Scudetto this season and who can be consistent that will be the champion, I think Napoli and also Inter Milan have a bigger chance than AC Milan, Ac Milan's game is really very cheap at the end of this season and I think they don't have the mentality to be champions, so many games against weaker teams but they fail to get full points. from the games the three teams have a chance to win I think Inter Milan have a very big chance because their game is quite good especially after last week they beat Juventus of course it will increase their confidence. Oh, I wouldn't attach too much importance to Inter's victory over Juventus in terms of the quality of the game. All Inter could achieve in this match was a penalty goal, especially since Chalhanoglu could not score the first time and Schensny was able to parry the shot and had to punch a second time. Also, let's not forget that there was also a shot at the crossbar of the goal performed by Chiellini and a shot at the goal post performed by Zakaria. Juventus fully deserved at least a draw, but Mrs. Fortuna did not want to help the club on this day. Therefore, I would not say that Inter has more chances, although of course this victory should inspire the fans of the club against the background of the team's not the most successful results in recent matches. |

sevilla won the game against granada and it was an impressive game because sevilla managed to score 4 goals maybe this is a sign that they have come to their senses to become a strong team and sevilla's next game is against real madrid and that is not not good for real madrid that needs to win the next games if they want to become champions.
Do you think the match against Granada can be a benchmark for the next match against Real Madrid? I don't underestimate Granada, but Real Madrid level is much different. Real Madrid is a strong team, they are playing with a solid defense, creative midfielders, and effective strikers. Moreover, Real Madrid captain (Benzema) is on fire, I a bit doubt if Sevilla has the chance to get 3 points in the upcoming match. I also do not think that Sevilla's victory over Granada is indicative, thanks to which Sevilla will win back its lag from Real Madrid. On the other hand, this victory is significant for Sevilla, as a team that managed to win and continues to fight with such grandees as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, because looking at the last matches of Seville, big doubts began to appear in this. In any case, if I am not mistaken, Real Madrid still has matches with both Sevilla and Atletico Madrid, and this may well have some significance for the championship race, although of course Real Madrid still has a large margin of safety and even defeats in these matches may not be enough for Real to miss such a solid advantage. Benzema is really on fire right now, but it's not a fact that it will be in every match and it's not a fact that it will necessarily be enough for victories. |

I was sure that Leipzig would win the match but match ended with draw. Atalanta is playing great in this time but Leipzig was favorite in that match. Last night was so confusing about the result of some match like Barcelona, Lyon, Leipzig.
Leipzig's current form is very good and after winning their German League match against Dortmund with score of 1 - 4 mostly peoples were feeling they can beat Atlanta which is struggling badly in last few matches, but they have done good come back in this match and now any result is possible in second leg match as both teams have fair chance for qualifying into semi-final with most chances we will have German Leipzig into next round because Atlanta is having some poor run at home against their Italian sides so here Leipzig can take some good advantage and go though. But, good thing we have all quality performance from all eight sides in these matches which will bring some good entertainment in second leg as well. Oh, yes, I would also like to add that Leipzig, on the contrary, has been playing better away than at home lately. They are completely equal rivals and it is difficult to give any team an advantage in the second leg, because everything can be decided by one moment and individual skill, as it was in the moment with Muriel's goal. Although, of course, Leipzig and their head coach Tedesco can complain about the missed one hundred percent moments at the end of the match, which did not lead to a goal, because a victory is a victory and this may not be enough for the final success. Atalanta still did not have such sharpness in the end and a draw simplifies the task in the second leg. |

but I still believe in the next season Manchester United will get their ass right and sign new players with a new coach.
It is going to be difficult, of course they will hire a new coach, but talking about alluring quality players, i do not quite think so. Manchester United aren't going to be playing in the CL next season and they are really struggling; thus it is going to be extremely difficult for a quality player to move to United in their present circumstances. Next season i do not see United doing better than they are now, at the end of this season they will definely lose some good players and would not be able to replace them adequately. If the rumors are true, then it seems that the management of Manchester United is going to allocate a fairly large sum to ten Hag in the event of his appointment as the head coach of the team and even if the team cannot break into the Champions League. Therefore, the strengthening of the team will be for sure, another question is how they will be able to dispose of these funds and what quality this reinforcement will be and whether it will be a real reinforcement. As it is rightly said that non-participation in the Champions League can scare away not only potential newcomers, but can also lead to the departure of existing players, about the name of one of them, one of them, I hope, is not even worth reminding  |

It is true that the statistics of the Chelsea vs Real Madrid match show Chelsea are more dominant and create more chances. But because of some mistakes by Chelsea players, it gave Real Madrid a chance to score. But don't forget that Real Madrid is still the team with the most Champions League trophies, Real Madrid has won 13 trophies. So I think it's very natural if we look at the history of Real Madrid, making Real Madrid as one of the candidates who will win the Champions League trophy this season. Moreover, the last time they won the Champions League trophy was in 2018, it was a long time ago, this should make Real Madrid even more motivated to win the Champions League trophy. Before beating Chelsea in the first leg of the quarter-finals, Real Madrid managed to get rid of PSG who had many star players, So for me it makes perfect sense if Real Madrid is the favorite to win the Champions League trophy this season.
Real Madrid had a killer realization in this match with Chelsea. It is also quite natural when in many cases a team that has achieved some advantage in the score slows down and begins to defend this account sacrificing its beauty of statistics. But still, despite these landmark victories over Paris Saint-Germain in the previous round and the victory over Chelsea in the first match of this round, I still can't turn my tongue to call Real Madrid the favorite of the current Champions League draw, considering what other rivals remain in the fight. And the statistics of total wins are not the best indicator and assistant in this case when it comes to one particular match. |

Until now, speculation about Erling Halland has still not found a bright spot, Erling Halland is also reported to have rejected the proposal from Manchester United, Erling Halland has also rejected Barcelona, lastly Halland has also rejected the proposal from Manchester City, now only Real Madrid are still surviving. and Halland has not given any answer, in my personal opinion, Real Madrid is indeed suitable to be used as a Halland port next season, because Real Madrid will definitely give Erling Halland a fantastic salary.
Currently, with some good rumours about few players are going to dead like now most chances Mbappé is going to stay at PSG and Eling Haaland is also having not good deal for Dortmund which is trying by this club because there were chances that they will gain some big funds from this transfer but until now it is completely fail but now with the situation at Real Madrid it's still unclear what is going on because we have some good number of players in touch with Real Madrid and if this happens then surely Haaland is going to stay at Dortmund or some chances we will watch this wonder kid in Bayern Munich shirt because they are also looking for some good replacement of Lewandowski which is in limelight of going to Real Madrid for next season. I'm not sure if Haaland is the top priority for Real Madrid, because for now the top priority is signing Mbappe. It is also known that the requests of Mbappe's entourage about wages are in no way inferior to the requests of Haaland's entourage. The fact that the rumored offer from Manchester City was rejected is not a final fact and also is not an absolute guarantee that Real Madrid will be able to repeat this offer. I'm not talking about Bayern Munich, which, according to previous actions and comments from the club's management, is not a fan of such sky-high salaries, although of course you should not completely deny such an option. I still think that for now Haaland's move to Manchester City is the main option. |

Barcelona must be wondering whether Real Madrid would lose any points against Getafe this week. Because Real Madrid are competing in the Champions League at the same time and they are going to have their rematch against Chelsea in only a week. Maybe they will rotate the squad a lot or their mind will be on the rematch mostly. These things would give a chance to Getafe to surprise them. But it still seems too hard to me that Real Madrid would lose points in this game. Barcelona should just focus on winning their remaining games.
Even if it's a pretty hard thing to see but it looks like it will be their prayer for madrid defeat It's a little difficult now because Madrid are definitely in a pretty high self-confidence because apart from them being far ahead, they have also appeared to be improving again after Benzema's recovery. Getafe are quite a good opponent although in the last few matches they have drawn more but this is still good for those who are still struggling in the middle of the table. but Madrid is not an opponent that will share the points fairly with them In any case, Barcelona needs to win their match and hope for a misfire from Real Madrid, but whether these hopes will come true, only the game itself will show. Definitely, Real Madrid in the match with Getafe will carry out a certain rotation of leaders, keeping in mind the return match with Chelsea and there are certain chances for the pursuers, which should not be forgotten, besides Barcelona, also includes Sevilla and Atletico Madrid. However, so far all these chances look very illusory and all the hope is that Real Madrid itself will believe in its victory in the championship too early and will play the remaining matches carelessly  No one is talking about losing to Real Madrid, for a start, you can draw a result |

Well, I'm seeing Real Madrid as a finalist, I don't think Chelsea can do anything else
Back then, everyone thought that Real Madrid was going to lose after PSG scored another goal but somehow they pulled the impossible then somehow managed to win. I wouldnt rule out Chelsea just yet although they need to score 3 nil to get to the next round. Its close to impossible but if you look at a different perspective then you know that Chelsea has nothing to lose so they will be playing all out on the next one but Real Madrid need to play abit on the defensive side to keep their advantage Well, this possibility will still happen but if you look at Chelsea's previous performance, I am quite doubtful about it. they made too many unnecessary mistakes there which made an already superior Madrid even more profitable with the personal mistakes they made. other than that the problems that have been haunting them until now regarding ownership, sanctions issues etc are still unresolved problems so I really think this will be the end for Chelsea now I think Chelsea still have chances in the second leg, because the example of Real Madrid itself shows that it is quite possible to score two goals in a few minutes and completely turn the course of the match. Although, of course, to do this, you need to minimize the number of mistakes in defense, which looks quite problematic for the current Chelsea. Everything is not as hopeless as it may look at first glance, it's enough to score a quick goal and then certain options will appear. Then Chelsea may have additional confidence in their abilities, and Real Madrid, on the contrary, may have some excitement. No one talks about winning in regular time, to begin with, you can try to translate the game at least into extra time. |

Eintracht players played too dirty, got a few yellow cards and even a red card, unlike Barcelona who didn't have a single warning (if I'm not mistaken, I think not a single card). I'm sure Barcelona will score a few unanswered goals at home, because they clearly look more confident and stronger. Honestly, I wasn't expecting a draw in this match
You are right that Frankfurt played hard and committed so many fouls that they got a red card in the 78th minute. Frankfurt did this because they were forced to stop the movement of Barcelona players who had more control over the ball. From the start I never expected the match to end in a draw, because Barcelona should have won the game. Based on Xavi's comments after the game ended, Xavi said he was a little disappointed with Barcelona's game which created fewer chances, but Xavi is quite happy with the result. I understand why Xavi is quite happy with Barcelona's draw, because the match in the second leg will be played at the Camp Nou, this will be a distinct advantage for Barcelona. So it's possible that Barcelona can indeed win in the second leg, like the previous matches against Napoli and Galatasaray, Barcelona always play well in the second leg. Hopefully Barcelona can beat Frankfurt, because after all Barcelona is one of the favorite teams that is predicted to win the Europa League trophy. Moreover, this season the Europa League trophy is the only trophy that can be obtained by Barcelona. I would not say that Tuta's second yellow card, which automatically turned into a red card, was necessary and he let his team down very much, which because of this had to pay more attention to defense and less attention to attack. Barcelona was absolutely not impressed in this match, but still got an acceptable result for themselves, but there was no question of any destruction of Eintracht by Barcelona, as some claimed, on the contrary, Eintracht looked decent and could well win the match with proper luck. Eintracht has its own antidote to Barcelona's combination game in the form of sharp attacks, and therefore there are certain chances of ultimate success, given the draw result of the first match, although of course Barcelona is the favorite. |

We have a huge game at the weekend indeed. I see no favourite in the Manchester City - Liverpool game. But I just feel like that Liverpool might have the upper hand on their competitor now. Because they have had a better run than Manchester City in the recent times. This must be even more motivating for Liverpool to fight for a victory here. Manchester City would try to make their competitor accept their game in this. However I don't expect Liverpool to play timidly. They also would play exactly the same as their game in Anfield. I hope Liverpool win.
I also don't see a favorite in the match between Manchester City and Liverpool, but still considering that the game will take place in Manchester, I will give a slight advantage to City. In any case, the battle is going to be notable and Liverpool needs to win more, but it's not at all a fact that he will be able to do it. In any case, even the victory of Liverpool in this match with Manchester City will not be decisive in the fight for the title of the winner of the Premier League, because there are still 8 rounds of the championship, it's not for nothing that Jurgen Klopp said before the match that if they win, which will not be easy to do, no one will think that the battle for the championship it's over. |

I think the determination of the title of the Serie A league until the last match, this year the determination of the title is very competitive like the English league, even though the English league is currently only contested by two teams, namely Liverpool and Manchester city. but the Italian league is contested by three teams, after the last few seasons Juventus has always been the dominant one without any significant competition from Italian league teams.
Inter Milan, AC Milan and Napoli all have equal chances to win the title. Inter Milan are a bit off form though. But the opponents ahead of them are relatively easy. Inter Milan has a chance to win every match if they play carefully. Roma will be the toughest opponent for Inter in the upcoming matches. Napoli has easy opponents except for Fiorentina and Roma. If he can perform consistently, he will be able to compete for the Napoli title till the last week. AC Milan will play against Lazio, Fiorentina and Atlanta. It will be very difficult for them to win these matches. So we may have to wait until the end of the season to see which team will win the title this season. I also think that the fight will last until the very last rounds and I think Juventus also retains some chances for the Scudetto, thanks to Milan's draw in the match with Bologna, although of course 8 points behind the leader in seven rounds before the end of the championship is a lot. But to be honest, watching the previous rounds, I wouldn't be too surprised if the top three could lose points synchronously in one round again. Inter Milan has not impressed with its performance and results lately, but nothing prevents the club from finally overcoming this decline and continuing to fight for the title, especially since even with such a game, for example, a victory was won over such a serious rival as Juventus. |

Real Madrid can be considered as the champions of this season of the La Liga already now. Because there is a twelve-point difference between them and Barcelona now. And even if Barcelona win their absent match, the gap will be still very big to close. Real Madrid are focused on the Champions League at the same time but I don't wait for important mistakes from them here. They already have a solid advantage against Chelsea by 3-1. I think they can focus more on their next match in the league thanks to that. And Barcelona also are fighting in another European tournament, the Europa League.
In any case, Real Madrid should be more focused on the next match in La Liga, despite the score of the first Champions League match with Chelsea, because these are different tournaments and banal relaxation will not lead to anything good. Real Madrid does not always impress with its game in the domestic championship, but steadily continues to win and score points, but this may not necessarily always happen and it may turn out quite the opposite, when a couple of misfires will lead to a revival of intrigue, because it's one thing when Sevilla are the pursuers and it's completely different when Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are such pursuers. |

According to rumors, Haaland refuses the 1st offer from Manchester City. The offer is rumored to be 25m/y plus taxes for a total of 50m€/year
Seems pretty low balling for a 21 years old that probably hasnt even reach his peak yet, dude could have been way better in 5 years from now if he play in either spanish league or premier league. Thats pretty much the same as what Neymar gets on PSG but it seems Haaland wants more than just numbers so he is either waiting for some interesting offers or he could already have some clubs on his mind to sign with Anyway, imagine if Haaland sign with Barcelona and Mbappe sign with Real Madrid. This would have been epic though I am not sure that it is Haaland himself who refuses this offer from Manchester City, most likely it comes from his agent Mino Raiola. In any case, I don't think Barcelona can offer more, given its difficult financial situation, and also don't forget about the agent's remuneration and the compensation of Borussia Dortmund. By the way, the president of La Liga, Javier Tebas, a man with much more experience in such things and much more awareness, is even more categorical, saying now that Haaland's transfer to Barcelona is impossible. Although, of course, if this is true, then the financial appetites of Haaland's entourage are impressive, given that the player has shown himself only in the Bundesliga, having not yet shown himself in more competitive leagues. |

I think that even Real Madrid didn't expect to get a result like this against Chelsea today. Maybe they really aimed to win this match and we easily understood it by their fearless attacking football. But they won this match by a score like 3-1 and this is a really huge advantage for them before the rematch. Chelsea weren't able to do the things they aimed here and Real Madrid's scoring two goals earlier in the match caused this too. Benzema was no different than his last PSG match in this tournament. He made another hat-trick. He is just insanely good now.
Rather, it's not about Benzema's first two goals, but his third goal in the 46th minute at the very beginning of the second half, when a clumsy shuffle between Mendy and Rüdiger buried Chelsea's hopes of righting the situation in the second half of the match. Still, it's one thing to play the game with a score of 1-2 and quite another thing when the score became 1-3 through your own fault. Moreover, Real Madrid did not show anything outstanding in the second half, completely not thinking about attacking and holding the winning score, and I think that in a similar way Real Madrid would have played with the score 1-2. Chelsea quite played at least one goal in the second half, but Courtois' game and the strikers' misses in advantageous positions this was not allowed to happen. |

Of course Mbappe would say that, he won't say that he wants to go to Real Madrid while he still has games ahead of him as a PSG player and Real Madrid still have games in La Liga, he's playing the political game and ending with the where of the newspaper persecutions that are spreading rumors every day, I think his advisors must have advised him not to talk about what club he wants to play anymore, at least with that he will be at peace for some time
I don't think it's just political games. In any case, the games of the financial plan are still going on, and it is advantageous for Mbappe's entourage to keep uncertainty in this matter in order to bargain for extra money for themselves. Another question is that Real Madrid is already starting to get tired of this at times and wants to clarify this issue. On the other hand, let's not forget which country the current owners of Paris Saint Germain are from and where the World Cup will be held, and therefore I am not surprised that the club's management is making every effort to keep the player at least until the start of the World Cup. Now, for example, there is information that Paris Saint-Germain is considering transferring the captain's armband from Marquinhos to Mbappe in order to convince the player to extend his contract. |

Even without Robert Lewandowski on their Team Bayern Munich still got a solid team, but they are outperforming when they are in the lead, but if Bayern Munich will not get Lewandowski in the next season, maybe other club will have a fighting chance, but the chance for Lewandowski leaving the club for now it is likely at 70%, Xavi is taking the Barcelona Project to the next level and giving the polish striker a 4 years contract likely the polish star is surely be leaving Bayern Munich, and his relationship with Bayern is likely deteriorating as day goes by.
Well this may have to be seen from the final conclusion after the season is over but I'm not too sure about Barcelona, I don't know what motivation they want at the moment because they want to sign Lewa. He is indeed quite good even though he is not too young but there are a lot of strikers now in my opinion so it's still not clear why they always insist on getting strikers when they have a lot of strikers. There is still hope for Lewa to stay and I still want to see him at Bayern next season It all depends on what offers there will be for Lewandowski financially, from Bayern, from Barcelona. On the one hand, Bayern Munich has never been distinguished by the desire to pay mind-blowing money to its stars, on the other hand, modern Barcelona is also not in a position to pay too much money. In any case, even the absence of Lewandowski next season should not have such a significant impact on the club's championship ambitions and the club will still remain the main contender for the title. Bayern Munich, in any case, will make efforts to keep the player in its squad, but will not put extra effort for this, there are also questions about the player's salary of 25 million. In any case, the club has not yet started negotiations on a contract extension and clarity will be only after that. |

Looks Atletico Madrid back to top performance right now with 8 unbeaten match and keep continues against with Manchester City on 1st leg champion league, just my predicting only because looking how consistent performance from Atletico Madrid on 8 match before.
Does it mean you guess Atletico Madrid will destroy Man City in the 1 Leg of UCL? In my opinion, the current performance of Atletico Madrid in La Liga cannot guarantee that they are able to beat Man City. You must be aware of the current opponents of Atletico Madrid in La Liga weren't those strong teams. Most of them were just small teams that actually have no chance to get points against Atletico Madrid. It is very different with Man City, they are leading EPL standings and one of the strongest candidates for UCL title. So, Atletico Madrid must be very difficult to beat them, especially if Man City players are on fire (in their best forms). There is no question of any destruction of Manchester City by Atletico Madrid, because with all the problems that City has had recently, the club still keeps its bar at a certain level. And if Atletico Madrid will play their favorite game, then we cannot talk about the destruction of Manchester City. Each team will solve its own problems, Manchester City will try to secure a reserve for the second leg in the form of a victory, and Atletico Madrid will be quite satisfied with a draw. Diego Simeone admitted before the match that Manchester City have outstanding players who are clearly stronger than his players, but there are two games ahead. Josep Guardiola, in turn, answered the question about whether Atletico's style is terrible, because he will not waste time on stupid arguments and the one who wins is right. |
