From the start, didn't we realize that these two teams were at the same level? So even if there is no winner in the Napoli vs Barcelona match then a draw is the right answer and that is the best result for these two teams. There is nothing we can expect from the performance of these two teams because everything is so bad that no one is more dominant or the lucky winner.

It's very boring when the round of 16 of the Champions League features two big teams like Napoli and Barcelona, both of which still hold the title of defending champion in their respective leagues, but with such a significant decline in performance, it's like we're just watching two mediocre teams competing. If they met in the Champions League last season it would certainly be more interesting because both of them were at their peak performance. I think betting on this match is just like taking a risk and we definitely can't predict the result. I think even if the second leg results are still a draw, it's likely that the decision will be a penalty shootout.

That's true, however, if Barcelona this season fails to defend the title then they will try to finish in second place and at least that is still good rather than being quite far behind Real Madrid. The Blaugrana are very rational about the targets they want because after all they are aware that if this season they don't get good results and they have to be willing to take the title away from their eternal rival.

Girona must be quite annoyed with their performance so far and they have had these bad results in a row and wasted several points that they could have got. It is true that Girona must rise because they can be an example for other mediocre teams next season if this season alone they can make it difficult for teams as big as Real Madrid or Barcelona in the standings. The match against Rayo will be a turning point for them or even if they lose again then it is almost certain that Girona will not be able to survive much longer at the end of the season.

It will always be fun if we talk about Ronaldo who can't stop scoring goals and last night he scored his second goal of the Asian Champions League season while also bringing Al-Nassr through to the quarter-finals. Ronaldo has always been the axis of Al-Nassr's attack and it is not surprising that any team's defense will always be wary of him. But sometimes it is quite difficult for Ronaldo to be able to play stably and all he relies on is instinct and finishing in scoring goals.

The process of the goal that Ronaldo scored last night was also very good, he pressed the opposing goalkeeper when he wanted to clear the ball but unfortunately the ball was hit by Ronaldo, so the ball was released without the goalkeeper guarding it so it was very easy for him to kick it towards the goal which was no longer guarded by anyone.

Competition with East Asian teams always presents exciting matches and we know that Japanese teams or Korean teams always dominate the Asian Champions League very well. Saudi league clubs such as Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad have always been regulars in the higher stages. I am quite curious about the growth of European players in the Saudi league, whether one of the teams above can win this championship or not. In experience, Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad always have a chance to win, but for Al-Nassr I think it is still quite difficult.

Regarding the change in Talisca's position, it is very natural because Ronaldo cannot possibly be a winger at the age of 40 and Talisca, who is still quite young, can operate as a right winger or sometimes also as a second striker for Al-Nassr.

This has been discussed many times and once again we will not know how the future will turn out. Maybe Osimhen could come to PSG as long as he is promised various benefits while playing for the team in the capital of Paris and on the other hand he will be the next star after Mbappe leaves. But regarding career, don't expect Osimhen to be able to compete with other great players because it will be difficult for everyone to highlight players in a league that is not very competitive like Ligue One.

I think Osimhen already knows what he has to do between staying with the current situation at his club or going to the English Premier League. It is very difficult to find a replacement for Mbappe at PSG and I think this will be a difficult job for PSG if they still use the same concept as now in recruiting players. No matter how many players PSG gets, it will not change all the players' desire to stay longer because even star players like Mbappe realize that it is time to chase the title that he has been missing for so long.

I'm curious why in the first round meeting Liverpool only drew 1-1 against Luton and last night they crushed Luton with a landslide score of 4-1. Could it be that playing at Anfield makes Liverpool so strong that opponents that were previously quite difficult for them to beat will be easier if they do it at home? Moreover, the cheers from the fans at Anfield were so thrilling and I think that is very good for Liverpool when they are in the hunt for the title this season.

A total of 4 goals were scored against Luton and even though Luton had taken the lead in the early minutes, that alone was not enough when the opponent they had to beat was Liverpool. Well, this result is even more satisfying for Liverpool in leading the standings by quite a large margin from Manchester City and Arsenal. I hope there will be a difference this season and it will be very happy if Liverpool become EPL champions when Jurgen Klopp will leave after his job is finished.

It looks like the problems on Bayern Munich's side are still not resolved and after the announcement of Thomas Tuchel's departure in the summer, they have to focus back on the Bundesliga where Bayern Munich will face Leipzig this week. Of course, with their poor record in the previous two Bundesliga matches, it is doubtful that Bayern Munich will be able to win this match, especially since Leipzig is not a team that can be taken lightly.

If we refer to the H2H of the two teams, there is a quite surprising fact that since last season, Bayern Munich have never won and it is Leipzig who often beat them. The draw also enlivened their previous meeting and this will be a tense match and will also prove that both teams can continue to provide the best results. Bayern Munich will be favored as hosts but it is possible that they will still get bad results and once again they lose then Bayern Munich will have no hope this season.

For the first time this season, Arsenal failed to record a single shot on target against their opponent and it all ended when they played the first leg away against Porto. Everyone must have been surprised because apart from their bad statistics, Arsenal also lost in this match. Even Arsenal's goal expectations are lower than Porto's and that makes their performance even worse. Porto is very reliable when hosting and the support from the fans has never stopped since the start of the match.

Even though Arsenal really dominated the game, what's the point if they can't win and never even endanger Porto's goal? Porto, who took advantage of Arsenal's defensive line, managed to break into their goal in the 90+4 minute and it was all thanks to Galeno's foresight who scored the only winning goal for Porto. Of course, in the second leg, Arsenal will be even more under pressure even though they are playing as hosts and on the other hand, Porto will be more confident in being able to get rid of Arsenal with this aggregate advantage.

Thanks for correcting bro, actually I was confused about saying it because it was at the wrong time when Nagelsmann was fired by Bayern Munich. The Bayern Munich director's decision was so hasty and everything had to end very painfully. I know Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga last season but that was mostly the result of Nagelsmann's achievements and Thomas Tuchel just riding on.

You shouldn't have to wait until the summer to replace a new coach, but maybe Bayern Munich wants to solve this problem with Thomas Tuchel. At least Thomas Tuchel also has responsibility for the remainder of the season as a form of apology for giving bad results to the team from the German capital. Considering the current and very complicated situation, I predict that Thomas Tuchel will go to Liverpool and Xabi Alonso will go to Bayern Munich next season. It was not as previously expected that Xabi Alonso was so strongly nominated as a replacement for Jurgen Kloop.

Not bad and maybe it will all hit the mark. Bologna, Juventus and Inter are the favorite teams for this match but I am a little doubtful about what Juventus has done so far. We know they are all in an uncertain state and even though they are favored to win, sometimes they can draw against a weak team. Maybe that's the only doubt that bothers me and I think I would bet more on the result of over 2.5 goals.

There is no need to doubt Bologna because they are in a positive trend and Verona will not be able to stop them at home. One more win in this match will make them a winning strike in 5 matches. Meanwhile, Inter, this team cannot be stopped from winning the Scudetto and Lecce will lose badly. The Inter players are full of confidence after knowing that Juventus will find it increasingly difficult to reduce the points gap.

I think Manchester United cannot escape new problems and although so far they are doing well, there are times when they will experience other problems. I'm not quite sure that their current consistency can be maintained well and even though they now have a better chance of securing the top 4, that can't be guaranteed if they can't beat a stronger team.

Spurs and Aston Villa experienced setbacks and fortunately Manchester United were able to take advantage of their carelessness by continuing to gain points in every match. I want to know what the results will be when they play against Manchester City in early March because that is a big obstacle that Manchester United has to overcome. Moreover, it is an away match for the Red Devils squad so it will be difficult for them to win. However, if the next two matches are against Fulham this week and also against Nottingham the following week, they should still be able to win without any interference.

Thomas Tuchel's departure at the end of the season has been confirmed by Bayern Munich and with this we also know the candidate for the next coach for Bayern Munich. Xabi Alonso was immediately linked with this news and as a successful coach with Leverkusen so far he is at the top of the list of those who will replace Thomas Tuchel. We know how Bayern Munich performs and they have the strength to convince their new coach later.

It is not difficult for Bayern Munich to get a coach as genius as Xabi Alonso, but they have to go through the competition to sign him first with Liverpool. It is no longer a secret that Xabi Alonso will leave Leverkusen at the end of the season because offers have come in from elite European clubs. Well, this will be a fierce competition for Bayern Munich with Liverpool to be able to convince Xabi Alonso and whoever gets him will emerge as a very strong team with such a beautiful game.

This problem is indeed quite complex and the enthusiasm that existed previously when joining a Saudi league team has reached a saturation point for several European players. Indeed, from the climate to the environment, it will have a full impact on making everyone feel at home and on the other hand, if they cannot adapt well then they will choose to leave. So far only Henderson has chosen to leave the Saudi league and I think if there is no more room for European players to come in next season then this league will also be quiet again.

However, I believe that the invested funds have not yet been exhausted and the Saudi league can still achieve several targets for European players that they have not been able to realize this season. Players come because the money is tempting, it is normal and conversely, if they come for that, it is better to be prepared for the risks involved. I think the indifferent attitude that sometimes appears from European players can be a serious problem and especially here the league itself will be affected badly.

Now top players will be given the choice between getting a bigger salary or giving up a career in a better league and I think it must be difficult for any player if every ideal is different. There are times when top players like Mbappe really feel at home at PSG because he has been a star since he was young and even won the world cup at the age of 18 at that time. So he has been more focused at PSG for the past few seasons on getting a big salary than on chasing a major title with a team whose quality can win the title.

Osimhen is certainly in quite a dilemma because offers from PSG are very rare and once again idealism will be the key to considering the transfer he will choose later. The English Premier League does present different things and there can always be fierce battles between teams regardless of different positions. The quality of the teams there is almost even, so we can often see exciting matches. Mbappe's replacement? I think it is very difficult to find players whose quality matches his, but to just fill the void he will leave, there are many players who have the same criteria.

Didn't they start having difficulty winning from the last meeting, like against Everton? and in last night's match Manchester City had to win the match in the crucial minutes. That was with a narrow score of 1-0 even though they were playing at home. I don't think the same thing will happen again and maybe Manchester City has experienced an emergency at the end of this season. If you look at it, everything went according to plan, but in my opinion, this time Manchester City's game was not very satisfying.

Is it possible that other teams are starting to be able to read Manchester City's game movements? and if that's true, they will experience obstacles more often to get 3 points in the next match. Competition is getting tighter and Manchester City has to fight with Liverpool and Arsenal who only have a narrow difference in the standings. I will still be curious who will win the title this season and also if Manchester City can get through this season with so many obstacles then they will be on a different level to other strong teams in the EPL.

The defeat against Bilbao not only made Real Madrid more comfortable at the top but also made the city team from Girona, namely Barcelona, increasingly able to catch up with the existing points difference. Barcelona must be very happy with Girona's defeat because it will be easier for them to compete with Real Madrid again. I know that the difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid is 8 points and therefore they must first be able to overtake Girona before returning to action to enliven the title race.

But indeed, with Barcelona's current inconsistency they are also in doubt again and perhaps Barcelona will compete more to win second place with Girona and Atletico this season. This season is still quite long and everything can still change and I hope Real Madrid will not just enjoy being alone at the top and can present another competition with the other big 4 teams. It is certain that Girona will get a place in the UCL and they don't need to worry because they rarely get defeats like this against Bilbao so this week Girona can still win again.

In recent days there has been a lot of bad news from the coaches and now it is Thomas Tuchel's turn to reportedly leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season. As we know, as coach of Bayern Munich, replacing Julian Nagelsmann at the end of last season meant that he was unable to provide more expectations for the club and he was aware that the peak of defeat he had recently made his fate even more threatened as coach of Bayern Munich. This agreement has been discussed well by both parties and this will be Thomas Tuchel's last season managing Bayern Munich.

I think it is only natural that a decision must be taken immediately, especially since pressure from various parties such as players and fans is definitely the basis for this agreement for separation. We can only hope that Bayern Munich can find the right coach next season and to be honest, we are quite sad to hear the news of Thomas Tuchel's departure at the end of the season. But however, everyone has to move on and maybe this season Bayern Munich's chances of winning the title are getting slimmer after experiencing bad results in all competitions.

Anyway, where is Thomas Tuchel's next destination for next season? is it possible he will return to the EPL?

In this season, Napoli have changed coaches 3 times and perhaps this is the first time they have experienced this. The owner of Napoli was dissatisfied with the results given by Walter Mazzari, so Napoli had to fire the coach again. Previously we also knew that after Spalletti left at the end of the season and at the start of the season Rudi Garcia handled the results, there were no significant changes. Now the results are still the same and in fact even worse than before.

Napoli are in 9th position in the standings and that means they have to fight with other mediocre teams in order to survive in Serie A. As defending champions they do not reflect at all and instead continue to get bad results which tarnish their name this season. Now Napoli have parted ways with Walter Mazzari and their new coach Francesco Calzona is expected to produce the best results before the end of the season. On another note, I hope that Napoli's owners don't fire coaches too often and can give their new coach more time.

My guess is only one of all the matches presented last night but that doesn't change the results of my multibet win. However, I have to cash out this win because there is a match in another league which is still going on in a few days.

I bet a draw no bet for Dortmund and as we know the result is the same 1-1 draw. I think this result is still quite decent considering that Dortmund is playing away from home in the first leg and PSV also doesn't want to lose like that against a more experienced team like Dortmund. A goal from Donyell Malen and a penalty kick from Luke De Joong made the score a draw and in fact the result could still have changed if the existing opportunities had been converted better.

On the other hand, I am happy that Inter has still proven their consistency so far and playing in front of their fans has no doubts at all about securing victory. We know that Atletico in the Champions League is very strong and they put much more pressure when trying to gain an advantage. But unfortunately Inter's defense was very strong in this match so they had a lot of trouble. Morata also came on in the second half but was unable to change any results and instead Arnautovic managed to score the winning goal for Inter in the 79th minute. This result means Inter have a slight aggregate advantage in the second leg.

After his good performance with Getafe this season, Mason Greenwood's name has shone again and Manchester United wants any team interested in signing him to pay 34 million euros. I think what Manchester United is doing is wasting existing talent and I was thinking, wouldn't it be better for Mason Greenwood to return to Old Trafford when his loan period ends at the end of the season?

We know that Antony could not provide decent expectations after being brought from Ajax for a fee of 100 million euros and now Manchester United will be much better if the right winger position is filled by Mason Greenwood starting next season. But it seems that the club management is thinking about other things and it also seems like Erik ten Hag is also happy with the current squad. It's a shame that even though Mason Greenwood had problems in the past, he was able to get up and prove he was worthy of returning to the Red Devils and it looks like that won't happen.

I see Luka Jovic as a special player and even though he rarely gets a place in the starting line up, when the team needs him he can always make a contribution. Luka Jovic is often the supersub and when Milan needed a dramatic win he was there to complement the victory. What I saw in the match against Monza made me know that every player always has a bad side, regardless of having another important role at the club.

It would be a shame if he would be out for longer and usually a red card indicates being absent for the next 2 matches. However, if there is something more burdensome, it will be quite detrimental to Milan if they need a crucial win later. But actually there is no need to panic for Milan because they still have Olivier Giroud and Noah Okafor, I think these two strikers will complement each other in a tense match.
