Reading the penalties of FFP cases in the EPL, Everton should be ready for a second punishment, and maybe Nottingham Forest too. But the Man City case has no new news that I have received. It seems slow, but apparently the hearing schedule has been set. Maybe even the 114 cases charged make the investigation more complicated. This is the talk of the EPL because Everton could get a second punishment after being deducted 10 points. Everton in the second case was charged with violation of profitability rules.

It would be very interesting if Madrid paid Haaland release clause, because we would see one of the PSG players who always flirts with Florentino become jealous. Of course with Bellingham, Haaland suitability is beyond doubt. Regarding Pep Guardiola, I think this has become an open secret where in the end Man City worries could come true. After all Pep Guardiola  has provided what Man City has never achieved. So there is no burden for him to leave at any time.

Mourinho has got sacked and Daniele De Rossi has been brought to Roma coach position. But the odds for Roma to win the Europa League title are still the same - 17.00. 

To tell the truth I think it is even more logical now to give Roma a chance for the title by placing a bet on them. Because if De Rossi manages to develop a solid strategy for Roma things can get much better for this team in a short time. Not only here but also in the Serie A. Maybe Roma would make use of more transfers to be better in squad quality as well but they don't have a very big transfer budget as far as I know.

But I think that the current squad is still good enough to be a serious competitor for the title.

Judging by the content of this post, it simply means that this news isn't a confirmed one but actually a figmentation of imagination and that's I totally disagree with it. Pep Guardiola is still contracted with Manchester City till the end of 2024/25 season and from every accessible report, he's still very much happy with the club so he's definitely not gonna leave the Etihad this summer. Pep Guardiola is rather focused on making sure he wins all the competition that Manchester City are currently involved and if he can possibly do it, it'll simply be a repeat of what he did with the club last season which is winning the UEFA champions league, English Premier League and the English FA Cup.

Erling Haaland is currently injured and is expected to be back to action in less than two weeks from now and when the Norwegian is full fit again, Manchester City will be more strong and competitive than ever

Yeah it would be really annoying for Inter players to be overtaken by that.    But Simone Inzaghi has a really solid chemistry with the team now and the players are believing in themselves completely. It wouldn't take them so long to take their place back from Juventus. I expect to see high-scoring performances from Inter until the end of the season as well.  

Inter have such a great balance between the scoring productivity and solid defense. They don't concede goals easily which must be another worrying issue for Juventus on the road going to the league title.

It is difficult to catch up points in Premier League matches even though it is only 5 points away, Arsenal still have to win strongly and Liverpool or Man City make mistakes with their defeats.
Suppose in this season's title battle between others is Arsenal vs Liverpool then here will choose Liverpool with a clearer opportunity, usually Arsenal always get problems towards the end of the season or say performance decreases due to defeat.

You have to calculate their winning percentage, so now you know enough.

Anyway, Arsenal's task in the Premier League is difficult, we never imagined it but maybe the battle will belong to Arsenal.

I don't think the Barcelona management is thinking of sacking Xavi now. Barcelona will face even bigger problems if they decide to sack Xavi. Barcelona management knows their weaknesses very well. Barcelona is not yet financially stable. Barcelona are not able to spend enough money to build a strong team. So Xavi is yet to add players to the squad of his choice. Since the team is not financially stable yet, Barcelona will face even bigger problems if a new coach is appointed now.

We are not getting good performances from Barcelona's young players. Xavi should now work more with Barcelona's young players. Barcelona will become stronger if the performances of the young players improve.

Last season, Man City maybe was able to beat both of them. Because last season Ral Madrid and Bayern were not in good enough condition. But this season I think something is different. Because Real Madrid and Bayern this season really look more solid than last season. Meanwhile, Man City has had many problems this season. De Bruyne has also just recovered and has returned to playing and indeed he can immediately return to his best performance. But Haaland hasn't returned yet, but I haven't heard any news about when Haaland will return. Even though there are lots of rumors circulating that Haaland might be able to return at the end of January, I'm still not sure whether he will immediately return to his best performance or not.

De Bruyne can immediately return to his best performance but we still don't know about Haaland. So this season the UCL will probably be fiercer than last season. Unless Haaland returns and remains in good form then Man City's chance of winning the UCL title again could indeed happen again.

Inter Milan is also something to be reckoned with. Because this season Inter Milan also looks stronger than last season. And Serie A clubs are sometimes difficult to predict. And can always make other strong teams overwhelmed when facing them.

In the previous season, Union Berlin's performance was extraordinary, placing themselves in the top 4 positions which led to this season appearing in the champion league competition.
But this season's performance is very bad, occupying a place 1 rank above the relegation zone ranked 15th.
Even though the top player who left was only 1 person Fofana who left for Chelsea but the team's performance could be completely destroyed.

As far as I have been able to observe there is some change in the odds of the title contenders. Bookmakers increased Real Madrid's odds to match Arsenal's odds if I'm not mistaken.    Because now I see it like Real Madrid and Arsenal share the 3rd position with the odds of 6.50. Maybe it might be different on some other websites as it is like this on my source.

Truthfully I don't believe Arsenal and Real Madrid can be seen like they have an equal chance to win the Champions League title.

I mean Real Madrid are already having a much better season than them. Besides they are the most winning team in this tournament by far.  

Manchester City 2.82

Fc Bayern Munich 4.90

Real Madrid 6.37

Arsenal 6.86

Paris Saint Germain 12.74

Barcelona Fc 14.70

I really hope they do not fire Xavi, that dude seems like the perfect candidate for Barcelona's future, and yes it looks like he had a bad season this year, but he is still fighting for a possible second position in the league and it is not unlikely, and he is still trying his best at UCL as well and could go further.

So, it is not like he is doing terrible, plus he won it last year, that was a good result. I agree that the game at super cup final was a humiliation, 4-1 is not that nice, you want to see Barcelona be better, but he is also a given a team that has so much debt, he can't buy all the players he wants, he is building a team basically for free for a team that size. I think it is quite important to keep him long term so that he can do what he wants.

Of course it applies to both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, i just think what City have achieved in recent years is a little bit more special because i think the EPL is more competitive than the Bundesliga and also the La Liga. Bayern and Real Madrid have such a great history that is a dream to City, but i think the English champions are going to get there someday, the only problem is if Pep decides to leave soon, they would not be able to replace him, there is no manager who is better.

Having said that, i think now that City have won their first CL and the weight of not winning it has been removed from their shoulders, they are even more dangerous, now they play without any pressure and they can dominate the competition like they are doing in England.

Bayern Munich also struggle sometimes just as Leverkusen do. For example Bayern Munich were also able to beat Wolfsburg by only 2-1 a short time ago. Wolfsburg aren't a good season at all you know. Moreover Frankfurt demolished Bayern Munich by 5-1 last month. It was a shocking result for Bayern Munich as well. 

Leverkusen are currently the only team going on without a single loss during the season. 17 games and 14 wins... This is really impressive. I really like Xabi Alonso's team this season and hope to see them maintaining this streak without a loss as long as possible.

For the English league, even a difference of 5 points is still considered very vulnerable or small for  team not to be couped by another team, the English league competition is very competitive and even makes the competition for the championship very difficult to predict even when there are only a few games remaining, this season it looks like we Starting to see several teams starting to rise and try to enter the title race and even now there are 5 teams that are still candidates to win the English League.
Consistency is something that has been missing from Arsenal for a long time and that is why currently Arsenal is starting to return to factory settings and it is difficult to compete at the top of the standings, As an Arsenal fan, I only hope that Arteta can find a solution to Arsenal problems so far and be able to become a strong competitor  to win the EPL trophy.

Congratulations on that, KTChampions. This season Real Madrid are ahead of Barcelona in many ways, but it was completely different last season, and you just have to admit it. This season Barcelona was the loser, while last season Real Madrid was the loser for the same title. 

Inter don't have any game to play on this week which means Juventus can take the lead from them temporarily. There is a Lecce - Juventus game at this wekeend. Juventus are obviously highly favourite side to win. Lecce are just a team quite close to relegation zone in points. This doesn't mean Juventus can have some complacency of course.

Juventus need to take every single game of theirs seriously from now on if they aim the league title. Because Inter also don't lose points easily these days. Juventus have improved their performance quite much lately. They have seemed more productive when it comes to goals. They should be victorious here.

It’s laughable. I don’t see how Messi who is playing in Inter Miami could win the award. Lionel Messi did not merit the award and was given based on sentiment.  I don’t want to shout robbery but what did Messi achieve within the timeline (19th Dec 2022 - 20th August 2023) under review that makes him merit the award ahead of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe? FIFA should rename the awards to football popularity contest because that is what it is.

Haaland may leave Manchester this summer.

He will have a release clause around 120-150mil and if Guardiola will leave, he will also leave.

Just my 2 cents.

Even though Roma performance in Serie A is not as consistent as expected, Mourinho influence is still very big when Roma plays in European competitions. I also feel the same way, Roma progress in the Europa League will soon end because they are currently being evaluated after Mourinho departure. Roma immediately appointed De Rossi as the new coach after firing Mourinho, but it seems that Roma is not too sure about their decision to appoint De Rossi as Jose Mourinho replacement coach. He is only contracted until June and his coaching capacity is still poor in experience.
