Lose from Barcelona in the last match makes Atletico out from champion league zone and today against Getafe Simeone have to utilize this match back to on track and this could be a good moment because Atletico had 10 consecutive no lose in all competition against Getafe so this makes Atletico are the favourite to win the match and some fans too hoping Suarez will play and scoring goals again in this match
Getafe's meeting record is quite promising for Atletico Madrid. On paper they are ahead of Getafe. Apart from the unexpected defeat to Barcelona which left the fans disappointed, I think Atletico Madrid will win this match. If they can't maximize their chances in this match, they will find it even more difficult because they are left behind from Barcelona and Betis to fight for Champions League tickets. |

Ronaldo still has the quality to make the difference. However, he is also a problem for his teams, as the tactics and style of play have to be heavily tuned to him in order for him to shine, and that is not necessarily the best tactic for the team. You noticed that at Juventus and you're noticing it now at ManU. I think the team would be better overall if Ronaldo wasn't part of the team.
I don't think Ronaldo is the problem at Manchester United. There are several names that should be mentioned as obstacles, Greenwood, Frederico Rodrigues and Maguire. Greenwood, he is too selfish in team play, Maguire always makes mistakes that lead to fatal for Manchester. I've seen in some games it's always those names that come up for his mistakes. |

Unted doesn't have a bad team at all. Individually they will even have one of the best teams, but in the beginning it was a mess. A good, experienced coach would make a big difference. Someone like Guardiola, but when I write that I also realize that this is the very last coach who wants to go to United. That would be war in Manchester.
You are right, Manchester United is one of the big teams that has a composition of quality players. But I can't understand why they can be as bad as they are now. Several changes in the coaching staff this season have not brought good changes, they have not shown a performance that changes from game to game. At the beginning of the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, there was hope that they would be able to compete in the Premier League, but that was only hope, because their team's game was in chaos. |

If we look at the bottom of the table, it looks like Salernitana will find it difficult to survive in the Italian top league next season. Because their points are too far apart. They have only collected 11 points from 23 matches that have been played. With 17 defeats, making them the team that has lost the most in Serie A this season. They only won 3 matches and the other 3 ended in a draw.

From now on, Athletic Bilbao can't undervalue Valencia after getting a draw by 1-1 in the first leg. As it was in San Mames too, Valencia have obtained a good advantage. If Athletic Bilbao don't give a bigger importance to the second leg, then Valencia can reach the final stage surprisingly. I'm saying "surprisingly" because Athletic Bilbao are the favourite in this matchup after moving Real Madrid out of the tournament. But if Valencia reach the final, I think that Betis would be the champions.
Even they were not able to at least maintain their advantage after Valencia's Gomez was shown a red card. They have to be really careful, Valencia is a threat to them. A tough match awaits them in the 2nd leg. I agree with what you said, if they don't focus on the game, Valencia will get rid of them. |

This was an important win about the fight for the Champions League spots.
For now, they are fighting for Champions League tickets. With a difference of more than 20 points it is difficult for them to compete for the title. Moreover, the leader of the standings did not show a declining game, match after match they passed with a win. Here I am more interested in seeing them fight for 4th place in the standings than for the title. For now let us just write Manchester city off the race in terms of securing a champions league ticket and winning the league... the race remains among all other teams and i must say that this will go all the way in determining the team that gets these spots and am counting Chelsea and Liverpool to be among the teams that fill these slots which leaves the fourth spot to be the most competitive one. Agree, I think 2 and even 3 slots are definitely filled with Manchester City who are the top of the table, Liverpool and Chelsea. In the fourth position is still a fierce competition, now that position is filled with Westham which is only 1 point away from Arsenal and Manchester United, followed by Tottenham which is 4 points away. If you look at the number of games they run, this is an advantage for Tottenham. |

We should remember that Inter still has one game in their pocket. Which means if that is a win, then they would have 3 more points and Milan wouldn't technically be above them. However, if Inter also gets the win against Napoli, they are basically getting rid of one of their opponents as well, which is an awesome thing for them.
Long story short, as long as Inter doesn't let go, Milan has no chance, it is not about Milan anymore, they could be as great as it gets but if Inter doesn't let them then they can't be champions. I mean it could still happen, Milan cold win the league, there is no denying that but for that to happen Inter needs to get worse.
Indeed, having 1 game left in favor of Inter Milan compared to its two competitors, Napoli and Milan. But keep in mind also that Napoli will also look desperately to beat Inter at least holding a draw to keep their points difference from getting too far. Napoli also have the advantage because they play at home. When it comes to counting points, these 3 teams are still very tight, apart from Inter who are 1 game ahead. |

I think that this is not the end for Manchester United in this round of the Champions League. I don't see Atletico Madrid being any better than them. I believe in Manchester United about getting at least a draw in Wanda Metropolitano. And they will qualify for the quarter finals too. But after that, it will depend on their opponent if they can see the semi finals too or not. Manchester United are still having a problematic season in the EPL. But I still expect them to show a better performance here. Maybe they don't have a chance for the title much but they would like to reach the best stage they can.
It's true that Atletico Madrid are in bad shape too, but Manchester United are worse than them. In the Premier League they have been very disappointing, they were eliminated in the FA Cup after losing to Middlesbrough, and in the Premier League match they were held to a draw by relegation team Burnley. Even so I hope like you, yes I hope they do well in the Champions League later. |

Milan are defeating their opponents one by one these days. They defeated Lazio by a huge score like 4-0 too yesterday. They are one of the teams in a great shape now and their opponent is Sampdoria up next. Sampdoria are no match for Milan. I believe that Milan will be able to defeat them by a two-goal gap at worst. And there is an opportunity ahead of them to capture the lead too in case the Napoli v Inter match ends up with a draw. It is just too enjoyable to watch this trio competing for the title now.
Surely AC Milan wants Inter Milan and Napoli to share points to ease their way to the top of the Serie A standings. I agree with you, looking at AC Milan's current form, it looks like they will have no problem beating Sampdoria. Moreover, they will play in front of their own supporters, this is an advantage for them. However, they must remain focused on the match even though the opponent is below them. |

Real Betis set one foot for the final, after beating Rayo in the 1st leg with a score of 1-2. Rayo took the lead through a quick goal from Alvaro Garcia in the 5th minute, but Betis got the goal back through goals from Iglesias and Carvalho. Betis only need a draw to set foot in the final. I think they will be able to do that, even in the 2nd leg Betis will also get more than a draw.

Today's fixtures in the English premier league look tough, Arsenal are going away to play Wolves and Liverpool will be hosting Leicester city at Anfild stadium, these two matches will be very tough because Arsenal need a win to regain their top four position and also Liverpool now needs to win on order to also keep their title race. What's your opinion in these two matches? Me I predicted Arsenal and Liverpool to win what about you???
Seeing Liverpool who are 12 points away from Manchester City the fruit of Manchester City's victory yesterday, it is a task for Klopp so that they can win the game. If they lose of course it will make things difficult for Liverpool. On the other hand, Manchester City are also consistent with their wins. It will be difficult for other teams to catch up with them. |

Ronaldo is a player with a lot of experience. There was a time when Real Madrid managed to win the CL no less than 3 times in a row. You don't just do that. Ronaldo has played a very big role in that. Without him, it would never have been possible. Without him they probably wouldn't even have won the final once in those 3 years.
When talking about Cristiano Ronaldo, everyone knows what he has achieved, from the many team and individual awards he has received. Even some difficult records, he managed to break. But when it comes to team play, no matter how good the quality of the players, he can't work alone. There must be a supporting factor from his teammates. Cooperation is the key to success. |

I'm pretty sure now about Dortmund's not being the champions this season. Because they are still making important mistakes and this caused Bayern Munich to have a nine-point gap with them again. They are just too generous about giving a big advantage to Bayern Munich. Dortmund need to make substantial changes in the team to be able to fight with Bayern Munich for the title for real. Everyone is bored of seeing Bayern Munich dominating the league every season and we would like a change definitely.
Yes, indeed, Dortmund has always lost to city rivals Bayern Munich in the race for the Bundesliga title. even though if you look at them almost every season they always produce players who become the forerunners of future star players. Not only that, I see Dortmund are not focused on winning the title, but focused on profiting from the sale of players. This is from my point of view, but no one knows with it. |

Yes, we shouldn't just watch yesterday's match, we can see how Xavi managed to change the club from the beginning of his arrival back to Barcelona. Imagine if at that time Xavi still failed to restore a bit of the team's form, then it is certain that Barcelona may still be knocked out of the top 10 in the standings. Now, Xavi can bring Barcelona back in the top 4 in the standings and of course it is a good achievement for Xavi too, considering Xavi's time in coaching is still not high enough.
At first many people doubted when Xavi came to take over Barcelona, because Xavi was considered to be inexperienced in the coaching chair, let alone the team he had to fix for a Barcelona class team that everyone knows about the quality of this team. And I think that doubt still exists in some people. But Xavi is now starting to make a good change for Barcelona. Although not completely, but I see the process in that direction exists. |

One team that does not get maximum results, will definitely change the position of the Premier League standings. That's what we will see now at least for the 4.5 position in the standings. Just like Manchester United who had to draw with relegation team Burnley, which if we look at the statistics they should be easy to beat. This result made them shifted by Westham who in other matches were able to get full points from Watford.

Juventus have no chance of winning the Champions League title. That also testifies to the odds you get if they do manage to win the title. When Ronaldo was still playing there, they actually accomplished nothing, eliminated against Ajax and Lyon. Especially against Lyon was an embarrassment time. And now without Ronaldo it doesn't work at all. Admittedly, with a favorable draw you can go far without playing well.
Juventus has a chance to win the Champions League title, but it is difficult to compete with other teams. I see other teams have more potential for it, but that should not be used as a benchmark, because in football there are always surprises and miracles. The team they will face is Villarreal, if they are able to win and qualify for the next round, the bigger team is already in front of them. |

Today's game between Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen is going to be very interesting. Both teams have been in an equal and high form since the beginning of the season and it is no coincidence that only Bayern Munich are ahead of them in the table. I bet the victory of the hosts, whom I consider to be favorites, although I do not rule out that Bayer Leverkusen may come as a surprise.
Both have experienced 5 defeats this season in the Bundesliga, the difference is that Leverkusen have drawn more than Dortmund. In their first meeting through a 7-goal drama, Borussia Dortmund managed to steal points from Leverkusen with a score of 3-4. Leverkusen came with a mission of revenge for their first meeting, even so I predict Dortmund will win the game again, at least by a narrow score. |

One goal from Perisic in the first half in 38 minutes, could not give victory to leaders Inter Milan, after the second half AC Milan was able to turn things around through goals from Giroud in the 75th and 78th minutes. With this result AC Milan is certain to reduce the difference in points to 1 from Inter Milan. Even though Inter have a game in hand, this result will make the competition fierce for the title this season.

I have said it before that big names, or the best Coaches, it doesn’t win games. Tactical discipline and mentality does the job. How comes Middlesbrough of all will come to Old Trafford to beat Glory Glory Manchester United. Something is wrong somewhere, Manchester United played with all their 1st team players and still lost against Midlesbrough in this importantant match is unacceptable. When I watched the game and had done the analysis, I don’t blame Ralf Rangnick for this poor result.
Ronaldo he is totally finished matter. Bruno missed open goal. Luke shaw was poor. So I don’t why why people are blaming the Coach.
That's the risk of being a coach, they are always the target of a loss or a bad game. In fact, if viewed objectively the coach is not completely wrong, they have implemented the best possible strategy, but there are 11 players who are the executor on the field. But the audience, especially the management, didn't want to know what was going on. They just want to win every game, somehow. |

Manchester United have lost to teams like Middlesbrough. United should have won this match easily despite playing with the second-tire squad. But they also played with their main squad. Ronaldo, Sancho, Bruno, Rashford and Pogba are all star players in the squad but they have lost. It's too embarrassing. I think it is time to change the coach of Manchester United. Coach Ralf Rangnick should not be given more opportunities.
It was a shameful defeat to see the quality of the two different teams. They even had to play on penalties and lose. They should have won the game in normal time. But this is football, anything can happen, especially in England, which always surprises us, as we saw in this match. I have to congratulate Middlesbrough on their win. |
