Guardiola has a lot of experience... in defeat  If I'm not mistaken, he is already a record holder or close to first place among coaches who reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Moreover, he always did this as a favorite and almost always lost, hehe. Therefore, I don’t know how good he is in this regard, as paradoxical as it may be to say that he (or his team) does not have a champion’s mentality. I will always remember the season before last when Real beat them and it was clear from the faces of the City players before extra time that they understood who would win.

The UCL round of 16 is sef to kick off next month and for some teams, it's going to be a serious tussle and for some it'll be a minor jump through to the next stage. Judging based on team strength, City has a better chance to advance than Copenhagen, so does PSG, Dortmund and Bayern. For the remaining fixtures, the teams are strong and the result is just unpredictable.

 Arsenal and Porto are in good form, same performance range, the probability is shaky, thesame with Napoli and Barcelona. For Madrid and Leipzig, one would say Madrid are in a better position to advance but the German side shouldn't be underrated though, they're also good in their own way. For Inter and Atletico, it's going to be a serious battle, none of them would allow the other to just go freely without making it tough. Hopefully these teams would use their home advantages wisely and to the best of their ability too.

For me personally, Real Madrid remains the title favourite this season despite the fact that Girona are also still very good and strong to be able to compete for the title. But yes, because I also consider about Real Madrid who have a good winning mentality then yes, with that factor then of course Real Madrid still have a better chance to still get the La Liga trophy this season. But indeed, when considering Girona's success so far this season, at least I also have hope that La Liga has a new winner, and Girona have that chance this season although of course it will never be easy at all.

Bayern Munich should win this match because Union Berlin has a team that doesn't seem ready to face the strength of Bayern Munich. With this match, hopefully Bayern Munich will make good use of it and achieve victory. It doesn't need to score many goals; the important thing is that Bayern Munich will win the match. This is enough to add points at the top of the standings and still fight to win first place.

Maybe Bayern Munich were just unlucky even though they had no weaknesses at all in the match and appeared with a full squad, ...

Girona has come to play the La Liga series with good preparation, it can be seen from their game that they are playing every single match very well, that's why they are far ahead of all other teams and they have been in the top position for a long time. It is really admirable and they might be going to set a new record in La Liga this season. Seeing their performance, one can trust them with confidence that they will win this year's champin. They have put Real Madrid under a lot of pressure this year ha ha ha

If given a prediction of which four teams will play in the Champions League semi-finals, I think most people would have the same prediction. Manchester City and Real Madrid will surely have a place in everyone's predictions. Along with Real Madrid and Manchester City, Bayern Munich will be among the favorites in the Champions League this season.  We can definitely consider these three teams as favorites for the Champions League this season. I think one or two of these three teams will qualify for the finals. I would confirm Real Madrid if they had a quality finisher in their squad but they don't have a quality finisher in their squad at the moment so they may lose their consistent performance in the big games. All things considered, Manchester City can be placed at the top of the list of favourites.

Juventus fans should not be too happy about their team's success in taking over the top of the standings. Because the points gap is very close and league still have a lot of matches,  its mean Inter can take it over again. Of course for Juventus players, this will increase the team's confidence. However, Inter also has a good player mentality, I believe Inter players will maximize the one match they have, to get 3 points. However, This is a sign if Juventus is the real threat for Inzaghi and his team this season, and they must not to lose a single point. Because losing points will be a got gitf trophy for their eternal enemy, Juventus.

Man City are favourites and I think most Liverpool fans accept that. We are just enjoying being back in a title race after a poor season in 22/23.

Salah will be back in max one month. We are lucky to have four other attackers who can more than keep us in the race. Luis Diaz, Nunez, Jota and Gakpo will keep us firing, I have no doubt about that. We have the best striker depth in the league, even better than Man City (squad depth).

I think we are stronger than Arsenal, the title is between Liverpool and Man City.

I, on the other hand, think that Juventus fans should be happy, it's true that Juventus only have a one-point advantage over Inter, but as long as Inter doesn't recover the match against Atalanta, Juventus can apply pressure and momentarily move up to +4 on the inter. This Italian Super Cup is a bit upsetting the progress of the championship, it would have been much better if it had been played in August before the start of the Serie A championship

The gap between Mbappe and his closest opponent in top scorers table is just huge now which is 10 goals.    It is normal though considering that Mbappe scored nearly the half amount of PSG goals in the league so far. This is clearly showing how dependent PSG are on Mbappe this season. There are no Messi and no Neymar from now on to distribute the goal amount among them.

The new transfers to the attacking line also can't score so many goals for now. But Mbappe is like Barcelona's Messi right now. PSG are also building their game over Mbappe otherwise they are having more problems on getting wins. I wonder what will happen when Mbappe leaves.  

Neymar head was never 100% in football like 90% of the brazilians players, but right now i think he have 20% of his head in play football and only for fun, he is full in streaming or other business of him like the cruise of him in Brazil itself.

For that his recovery is lasting longer than ever.

While Al Nassr has many superstar players but they still want to hire more players to get better results and that's why Al Nassr is trying to send an offer for Emerson Royal and hire this player from Tottenham. Emerson Royal can be an interesting option for them but Tottenham rejected the offer for this player they said they can't accept the 23 million euros offer from Al Nassr for Emerson Royal.

It's very true adding all the uncertainties that comes with football recently its very possible that PSG can act very poorly and other teams take advantage of them to getting to the top of the table that was how it happened few seasons back where PSG later struggled getting to win the league title as they lost it that season.

Dušan Vlahović is really a great chance for Juventus. He is carrying his team with his goals at a young age. He has already scored more goals in the league than last season. Kenan Yıldız is trying to accompany him up front, but Kenan should be given some time. He's just getting used to the team. He will contribute more goals and assists in the future.
Juventus are in the lead, albeit with a game in hand. This will inevitably put pressure on Inter. The match on February 4th is very important. In the Empoli game, players must avoid cards and injuries.

Solid win once again for Liverpool.

In the end it will be a race between Reds and Manchester City.

Kloop vs Guardiola for the last time?

To be honest, Bayern Munich tried to do everything to beat Werder Bremen and get the three points from this match but they couldn't do that in the end. I think Bayern Munich losing this match is not enough reason to blame the team because they still had a good performance but regardless of that, I think Leverkusen is happy about this result more than than Werder Bremen because there's there's more gap between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.

Honestly, it's quite a shock because we all knew that something like this was far from what many people expected before the game started but games are always like this sometimes where some unexpected events can happen and Bayern had to drop points at the Alianz Arena this week.
Many lost their bets? I think that's for sure because I also feel the same way in this case but of course the favourites at the moment are Leverkusen where Bayern's defeat this week is a blessing for them because they can widen the points margin comfortably at this time.
But on the other hand, it could have been worse for Bayern because after all, with today's defeat, many people will definitely think that the trophy could be lost because of the dominance and consistency of Leverkusen this season.

It is good to see that Liverpool didn't get distracted or impatient because of that first half without goals. They had all the advantages in the game in their side although it has to be said that conceding a goal can happen anytime against any of the Premier League clubs. They aren't amateurs either.

But this was a great win and they also did some work for their goal difference. It doesn't mean a lot as of now, but it lets the other competitors know that Liverpool is right where they want to be. This was on point today and the table looks great for them. Best defense and second best offense.

Only a miracle or a few bad choices can make another champion of this CHampiosn LEague asides of Manchester city or Real Madrid, i really dont see any other team in good form to be a contender this year, maybe and only because they are good in head to head Atletico Madrid, but we already know they are not so solid this year.
