Walter Mazzarri failed to bring Napoli to secure points, even failed to secure 1 point. under his control, Napoli suffered 2 defeats and 1 win, a bad start even though I know the club they are facing is a top class opponent. for Inter, this victory confirms their position in the standings, and only Sassuolo has been able to beat them so far.

On the other hand, even though Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia scored more goals, that was only for them. What Napoli needed was 3 points at the end of the match. as you said, Napoli defense has been severely damaged, I agree with that. I think there is no hope left for Napoli to defend the Scudetto this season, they need a miracle to do it.

Who would have thought that slowly but surely Roma finally squeezed into the top four this week, Napoli failure brought a blessing for them to sit in the UCL zone, even though both clubs currently have the same points. It is very difficult to accept Napoli out of the top four, and their position in the UCL is also threatened by Braga.

If I'm not mistaken about Sevilla, they are reportedly hit by a financial crisis. As a result, they were forced to let go of several important players who had contributed to the Europa League last season. What was worse, Sevilla was forced to part with their technical director Monchi. The situation then became more complicated than expected, and on October 8 management had to take a stand by relieving Mendilibar of his duties.

On the one hand, management had high hopes for the new coach with the dismissal of Mendilibar, but until week 15 we have not seen any signs of revival from them. Sevilla have not tasted the sweetness of winning 8 matches, the last time they tasted victory over Almeria 5-1 in Week 7.

Sevilla progress in the Champions League has been dashed, their only hope is for the Europa League play-offs. First they have to beat Lens, which is a bit difficult because in this match they will act as the visiting team. Especially with its current performance, on paper Lens deserves to be superior on matchday 6.

When I saw him climb over the advertising board and celebrate his goal yesterday, it was clear that he no longer wants to return to ATM. Xavi was able to capitalize on the situation and Felix was motivated to defeat his parent club. However, his actions last night will always be interpreted in many ways. It is clear that, for Atletico and their fans, it was a betrayal.

I like what you said. Xavi has managed to create a harmonious team environment without favoritism. Barcelona management should start preparing a budget to redeem the future Portuguese star from ATM now. Felix has the bargaining power that Xavi needs. He is young, talented, and calm under pressure.

His market value is certainly not cheap, but I believe it will not reach the amount ATM paid to Benfica to sign him. Although we know Barcelona is in financial crisis, I think they should try to make this player a permanent fixture next season.

I feel like PSG will run alone in the standings this season, and clubs like Nice, Monaco and Lille are not ready to become serious title challengers. Ligue 1 is like owned by PSG and it is likely that in the next few years it will still be like that, as long as there are no rich investors coming in and acquiring one or two clubs, then PSG will always dominate.

We can use the match against Le Havre as a frame of reference, how weak the mid-table team is, even with a superior number of players they failed to force PSG to share the points. For Enrique, he will smile broadly and puff out his chest, how could his squad still win even though they lost one player for more than 80 minutes.

Therefore, it is not surprising that as the season progresses PSG will form a point difference in the standings. If their progress in the UCL will be stopped by Dortmund, then it is certain, even though it cannot be guaranteed, that Enrique will be determined to sweep the remaining 20 matches in Ligue 1. I think it is not an exaggeration to say this, but the fact is that PSG is too powerful in their hometown.

This is what Man City and especially Pep Guardiola fear, failing to defend the trophy. If you look more closely, City weak point this season has been their back line, and losing De Bruyne is another factor. City must be able to secure full points and avoid more draws, so far they have lost 12 points due to 2 defeats and 3 draws.

It is recorded that City have conceded 10 goals in their last four matches. If they continue to be lulled by their status as defending champions, Arsenal and Liverpool are ready to beat them at the end of the season. The existence of Arsenal and Liverpool this season in the hunt for trophies should be seen as a threat, not to mention the performance of a team like Tottenham which could be a stumbling block like in yesterday match.

Apart from that, it is difficult for Pep fleet this season to beat the elite EPL teams, and we have even seen that Arsenal can beat them at the Emirates. Pep should view the current situation as a serious problem, hoping that a club like Arsenal will lose control when they enter the end of the season and overtake them there is not a good idea, armed with his experience I am sure Pep will do something for City.

Interestingly enough, perhaps that was one of the factors behind Ancelotti willingness to accept the job and leave his managerial seat at Madrid. The difficulty of managing the National Team for every coach lies in the selection of players who will be called up, not in the number of matches and the busy schedule. I agree with you that this job is good for people who are planning their retirement.

I think the golden generation in the Brazilian national team will never end, new phenomenal seeds like Neymar will always emerge. In fact, I miss someone like R9, everything looks easy when there are players like him on the field. On the other hand, even though Brazil current situation is not good, considering that there is still quite a long time available, they can improve the situation for the better in the future.

It's true, if Neymar is available again it will be quite difficult to stem Al Hilal progress in the SPL in the future. Al Nassr defeat is proof that, no club has been able to make them stumble, many hope that Al Nassr will be able to provide resistance in this match. It turns out, Al Nassr had to lose with a landslide score of 3-0 without reply, although it is difficult to accept, but that is the reality, Al Hilal currently has a big chance of winning the SPL trophy.

In terms of top scorers, Ronaldo still leads with 15 goals in the SPL, followed by Mitrovic with 13 goals in second place. This is also the fiercest competition this season, I am sure Ronaldo will be the top scorer this season. on the other hand, there is still one more round ahead and we will see how these favorite clubs fare in securing their position in the SPL standings.

For now, the gap that has been established has reached 7 points, which means that Al Nassr must hope that Al Hilal will lose points in 3 matches, and they must continue to be consistent in securing points in their own matches. Personally, I am very curious to what extent Al Hilal will be able to maintain this positive trend, 15 matches have passed without being touched by defeat.

Lyon has tried their best, but luck is always not on their side. For some reason, even a single point was hard to come by for them at the moment. There are many complaints about Lyon current shortcomings. All their efforts seem to lead to setbacks. It seems that even though the second half of the season is approaching, I don't think their performance has improved. The only option left is the transfer window. Club officials and management need to provide a budget to recruit new players in an effort to save the club from the relegation zone.

Lens is clearly much stronger than Lyon this season. Their efforts to recover and mark a turning point in performance after being slaughtered by Arsenal 6-0 are now bearing fruit, even though they achieved this success against a dying club, namely Lyon. Lens is now in 6th place in the standings with 22 points, but considering the current situation and competition, I think Lens will find it difficult to finish in the runner-up position like last season.

In a few moments, we will see Inter Milan vs Napoli. Will the result of this match give Juventus an advantage to stay at the top of the table. Looking back at last season, if Juventus had not been penalized, they could be said to have had the same good performance as this season.

On the other hand, I think Allegri needs to add a few new players in the January transfer window, at least to fill the gap left by Pogba. In addition, to compete with Inter Milan for the Scudetto, Allegri needs depth and adequate rotation options.

I think Juventus is a serious opponent for Inter this time. I previously thought that Milan could be a club that consistently performed to spice up the scudetto hunt, but in fact they often lost points. Napoli move to defend the scudetto trophy will be evident in their match against Inter, which I think is quite interesting to watch.

I didn't expect Chelsea to succeed in securing full points even though they had to play with 10 people. It is very natural for Brighton to dictate and dominate the course of the match, because they have a superior number of players. It's true that I agree with you, that this match was very dramatic for Pochettino squad, these additional 3 points put the Blues in 10th place in the standings.

Conor Gallagher needs to learn how to tackle again, and he needs to do it gently. I think it's fortunate that his team didn't lose in this match, because if the opposite happened, then the negative attention towards him couldn't be stopped. on the other hand, Enzo appeared impressive by scoring a pair of goals, he deserved to be the man of the match in this match.

Furthermore, as usual Pochettino must be a coach who has a lot of patience, because after every match he almost always loses his players. In the future, Chelsea will visit Old Trafford to face Manchester United. This meeting will be worthy of the title, two elite clubs who have similarities in inconsistency, we will see again how these two clubs prepare for the big match in week 15.

Very few people realize that surprises actually happen more often in the Europa League and in fact they do, I agree with you on this. In simple terms, the most interesting thing here apart from the championship trophy is the ticket to play in the Champions League. This is the target of clubs that have the toughest competitive level in their domestic league, such as those who play in the English Premier League. So far, even though Liverpool is the favorite club to win the championship trophy, we have to look at the facts of the standings too.

Laverkusen is the team that recorded perfect points, and is followed by Marseille and Atalanta who have never been touched by defeat. Even though the European League is different in caste and prestige from the UCL, in fact what is being offered here also attracts the attention of all of us. I think, if Newcastle enters here via the play offs later, then they should be watched out for and favorites too. We will wait for the group phase to end, and see how the favorite teams we mentioned above show their performance in the knock out round.

On matchday 6 or the last match, the scenario that applies is like Bayern Munchen winning again over United and Galatasaray winning over Copenhagen. Only a miracle can change United fate in group A, even if we ask Ten Hag directly, the bald man will say the same thing. Rationally, the situation could change, but I still believe there is little chance of a surprise, I mean United accompanying Bayern to the last 16.

Turning a little to the EPL, United situation has not improved there, the ups and downs in performance continue and most recently Ten Hag squad lost to Newcastle. Automatically, the steps to push into the UCL zone were stumbled, and Newcastle managed to overtake them in the standings temporarily. Ten Hag has to think about how to improve the team performance so they can finish in the top four, which could ultimately make them appear again next season in the UCL.

As football fan, we will of course be neutral fans between the rivalry between Bayern Munchen and Bayer Laverkusen this season. It would be very nice to see the Bundesliga have a new club winning the title, if this is realized it will break Bayern decade-long dominance and make Kane the unluckiest player. What can do, the Bundesliga needs something new to attract more attention, fan base and of course attract more star players.

With all due respect to Bayern, so that the Bundesliga is no longer considered a Peasants League, by looking at the consistency built by Xabi Alonso at Laverkusen, it is likely and worth considering that this season Laverkusen is worthy of breaking Bayern dominance. Dortmund have tried repeatedly but always failed, even last season failure was the most painful for Reus and his colleagues.

In conclusion, in an effort to break Bayern dominance this season and try to assert his position at the top of the standings, Xabi needs to complete the big match against Dortmund. I will not miss this match, I hope this match will be played openly, attacking and not monotonous. Because usually, matches like the final are often boring, hopefully that doesn't happen this time.

There could be an indication that Lewandowski will soon leave Camp Nou, and Xavi is trying to arrange the list of players he is targeting according to the available budget. Xavi needs a striker who has been tested and experienced, who no longer requires a lot of time and an adaptation process with the club, so in Xavi view, Moratta is the right player. I think this is just an old rumor that was brought up by Xavi ahead of the Barcelona versus ATM meeting, however I think what Xavi said is true. It is possible that in the January transfer window Xavi will want to recruit him again, to become a cover or replacement for Lewandowski who is getting older.

Xavi must be fully alert to Diego Simeone squad, regardless matches of home or away, ATM has been able to beat Madrid in week 6. This means that ATM strength and performance are quite capable of troubling them in their efforts to secure 3 points, to close the gap with the leaders of the standings. currently Madrid and Girona. I also understand that home matches provide a slight advantage for the Blaugrana.

The current difference is 7 points, meaning if there is a draw the difference will be 6 points. For Barcelona this is quite difficult going forward, while ATM still has one match postponed. Xavi must finish this match, using all his resources, including the loan player from ATM, namely Joao Felix. On the other hand, several players Xavi and Simeone are currently injured, but it is certain that this match will be fierce.

I think considering the background and ambitions of Barcelona and ATM this time, the result of the match will not end in a draw, the determination of both clubs is quite clear, namely to beat each other. If Barcelona wins then I predict they will win narrowly, but if ATM wins then I predict they will win by a landslide, I have a feeling like that no matter what.

That's what Enrique is most afraid of with PSG, being held to a draw by Dortmund. Although actually the easiest scenario for PSG is that Newcastle versus Milan ends in a draw. Automatically PSG may lose, may also win and may draw because they will be ahead by 1 point. But playing like that is quite risky, and relying on other matches is not a good idea, so I think the option of winning the match against Dortmund is the best for them.

Just like you and most people who have watched PSG progress in the UCL this season, of course they have big doubts about them. This is not the right moment for them to talk about the UCL trophy, it is better for them to focus on the group phase matches first. On the other hand, it needs to be emphasized that I am only trying to provide a theoretical overview of the attributes that PSG has to become a title challenger, not comparing the match history between the three clubs.

Luis Enrique has one last chance to keep PSG playing in the Champions League, for now their focus is only on getting through the group stage. even though it is not impossible, talking about PSG winning the UCL trophy doesn't seem like the right moment this season, however I still believe that sooner or later, with their abundant financial strength, they can build a squad that will be able to win this title in the future.

Theoretically, I think Enrique can become the most serious title challenger with Madrid, City and Bayern. but for now, just getting through the challenges of the group phase, they are already having trouble, as if all the attributes they have are not working optimally, and look mediocre.

Mbappe is one of the backbones of the club, many hope he can be the difference in every match, in the match against Dortmund the french star should be able to show his strengths. It would be difficult to say if PSG failed to qualify for the round of 16, maybe I'm not the only one who feels this way.

If Al Nassr wants to overtake Al Hilal, then they have to wait for them to lose 3 matches, the remaining matches for now are 19, the difference in points between the two is 7. I think it will be very difficult for other clubs in the SPL to beat Al Hilal, in fact we have seen how strong they defeated Ronaldo and his colleagues. I think they deserve 3 points, for Al Hilal this victory increases their unbeaten record, while Al Nassr has experienced 3 defeats.

Even though Neymar was not supported, it was not a problem, they managed to play openly and without being pressured by the situation, in contrast to Al Nassr who had a mission to secure 3 points in an effort to close the gap, but was not successful. I agree with you, Al Hilal's chances of winning the SPL trophy this season are getting bigger, it would take a miracle for any team to overtake them at the top of the SPL standings.

I hope Ancelotti really takes up his managerial job in charge of the Brazilian national team, of course by waiting for his contract to expire with Real Madrid. In terms of experience at club level, I am quite sure that Don Carlo can improve Brazil performance, but we have not seen him manage any National Team in his career, this will be an interesting experience for him, and maybe after that he will decide to retire from coaching.

On the other hand, leaving Madrid was a mistake, he could achieve success in every competition, but as I said earlier, Ancelotti needed something new, yes a new challenge at a different level. The Copa America and World Cup will be a challenge for Ancelotti if he takes this job, I am sure he can achieve success there.

That's right, reportedly the heavy and continuous snowfall made the club decide to postpone this match. There is no choice but to wait for the rescheduling to take place, and in the meantime the other match between Laverkusen versus Dortmund will continue without any situational constraints. The match that determines the top of the standings and I won't miss it, I predict Laverkusen will succeed in securing full points in this match.
