Maybe I should ignore today's Champions League match because the Arsenal vs Liverpool big match is much more interesting for me. I support Arsenal for a low-scoring win.
Both Arsenal and Liverpool, to be honest, it's been a very enjoyable game and one that won't bore us for more than 90 minutes. The quality of both is unquestionable, I believe that the presentation of this match will be very entertaining. For me, Liverpool vs Arsenal would produce an ideal score. It's hard to judge the difference between the two if they are both in good performance conditions. I will consider dropping a bet for Liverpool. In this case don't know if this is meant to be ideal or not but I still feel it will be another massacre for Arsenal because even if they are good enough at the moment Liverpool are still on a different level at the moment. I wouldn't expect much for Arsenal now because I want Liverpool to win to be able to shorten their gap with City. |

Well indeed in this case it might be a long debate about the incident that befell Benzema and Donaruma but on the other hand the match is over and the referee's decision cannot be contested in this matter.
Winning a trophy in the domestic league for them is not too strange so it's because they have now dominated there even since a few years ago so it's very natural that no one cares about it
That's of course correct and I really didn't want to challenge the referee's opinion. In fact other referees might have decided the same way. Anyway, the win of PSG with 3 -0 was accompanied by the fans yelling at Neymar and Messi. This is probably not how Messi envisioned his stay at Paris. Then again, I think he doesn't even care anymore. He won 6 trophies as a world soccer player and is most likely not going to win another one. Let's see if Mbappe can one day manage to get close to him in terms of trophies. Mbappe is certainly a real rocket. That's true because regardless of the decision, the blunder is still quite fatal in this case and indeed we can't do much even if there are protests everywhere. This is a form of disappointment for the fans because indeed with the advantage in the first leg it was clear they had high hopes for PSG. But indeed, in this case, I don't know why the supporters in Ligue 1 sometimes act immaturely. There are so many riots that occur due to the behavior of the supporters there. Obviously this is detrimental and of course tarnishes especially Ligue 1 which incidentally they are one of the favorite leagues in Europe |

Bayern Munich will play against Union Berlin on Saturday. I don't think it will be an easy game for Bayern. Bayern won the first leg with 5:2. But I think it will be more difficult this time. Union Berlin is not to be underestimated.
It is nice that there will be no limit to the number of spectators. That was announced yesterday.
It seems that the new virus variant is getting under control now that the fans can get back to the stadiums now and this is very good news at the moment. Union is still one of the dark horse clubs this season, but indeed their form towards the end of this season was not so good. The last 5 matches they have run have not been good enough and different to the start of the season. Maybe Bayern will still be ahead now considering that Union is still not back from the slump |

It would be very good if indeed they can maximize this well because as you said, Venezia are currently playing quite badly even they can only win once in the last 5 matches.
But indeed things like this will still be very difficult to predict because Lazio's performance is even better, but sometimes they are quite difficult if they meet an easy opponent.
At least they are heavily seeded now
Today's game is very important for Lazio as they are playing at home against a struggling team, and surely they need to maximize their points for having some chance of qualifying for next season's European Cup after last day two results they have some better chance for this even their next challenge is against Roma which is surely also looking for some better results after losing points in last game. Currently, Venezia is one of the worst teams in Italian League with most chances they will relegate after end of this season, but sometimes they perform very good and have ability to shock opponents with their performance so today hopefully we will have good win for home side Lazio and jump into 5th spot for few days with this win and full three points. Well it was a pretty good match because they managed to win narrowly but their performance wasn't good enough here. Against Venezia who incidentally is one of the teams who are now in the relegation zone with a 1-0 result on penalties is not something that is good enough for lazio because their front line is in question in this case. 10 kicks with 1 shot on targets I think this is too bad for the size of a team that can be called a big team |

If Lazio is serious about advancing to the European cups, they have to win against opponents such as Venezia. Venezia is playing very poorly in recent games and it is one of the main candidates for relegation from Serie A. I think that today also they will not increase their points and I bet on the victory of the hosts.
It would be very good if indeed they can maximize this well because as you said, Venezia are currently playing quite badly even they can only win once in the last 5 matches.

Leipzig were the most impressive team of the week I think. Maybe their competitor wasn't the hardest one but they still got a superb victory like 6-1 away against Greuther Furth. They have been doing just fine for many weeks in the Bundesliga. And they are in the competition for the fourth place in the standings currently. They are holding the place now too actually but there are two other teams right behind them by having the same points. This is a really insane rivalry and I believe in Leipzig to hold this place at the end of the season too.
Yeah leipzig performance recently has been amazing since that loss against bayern they have been on an undefeated streak i think they are the closest to getting the fourth place and they can even get the third one especially after leverkusen loss yesterday they are only one point behind them. Leipzig performance last weekend was awesome. Although, they played against one of the worst team In the Bundesliga. Greuther Furth was the first to secure a goal, but ended up conceding 6 goals. Leipzig indeed took advantage of their opponent weak squad. However, I think Leipzig have to play more carefully, in order not to lose points in their upcoming matches. Losing point will certainly results to them been dropped out of the top 4. Because, Hoffenheim and Freiberg are probably in good shape. They are now back in circulation after some pretty bad play in the past. indeed after losing to Bayern narrowly they are now straight out of control with a streak of wins and still haven't lost to date. This is what they should have done a long time ago because I was quite tired for the start of the season seeing their performances that were far from consistent, now they are starting to aim for the top 3 position |

I can see there performance is very well against Bordeaux as they are already leading with three goals
Yes they are leading with 3 goals and they are the strongest in Ligue 1, but I am still always confused that Messi is not scoring, Kylian Mbappe scored the first goal, Neymar scored the second goal while Leandro Daniel Paredes scored the third goal, I am still surprise that Messi is playing in the front and yet not scoring well. Maybe it is age that is telling or maybe other players are not working well with him believing in the old players there like Mbappe and Meymar. Age is indeed quite influential, but on the other hand, in this case, Messi's adaptation can be said to be quite slow because he still has not been able to adapt well in Ligue 1, especially at PSG. But it's quite natural, he's only moved for the first time now and indeed the pattern of Messi's game with PSG, I don't think is very suitable and will only make the goat confused, so it's very difficult to make goals there unlike at the previous club. |

Dortmund are 1-0 ahead against Bielefeld right now and we are in the second half. Wolf scored their only goal and finally I see Haaland in the subs too. He was injured for a very long time that I was worried about him. He is a very special striker you know and I wouldn't like to see him losing his momentum by getting injured very often. And I believe Dortmund are very likely to win this game comfortably. They should be able to increase the goal difference soon and relieve. And if Dortmund win their missing game also, the point gap with Bayern Munich will be four.
I mean even though it doesn't matter anymore, the win against Arminia Bielefeld with 1 - 0 is pretty poor for Dortmund. It is not the way you should play to boost your confidence... If you play a home game and have to fear to give the game away in the final phase against Arminia, you have done something wrong. I have no idea why Dortmund can't get their level of play up significantly and also constantly. I am not the biggest fan of Rose to be honest. I think they need a different coach. Klopp was the perfect fit back at the time. Someone who is more enthusiastic and authentic when he goes nuts. They tried quite a lot of kicks but indeed there were only 3 shots on target there and this indicates that the actual initiative is already there but they still haven't been able to maximize their chances well. I'm not too disappointed with this result even though they won narrowly but this is actually quite good for them because at least they can approach and put pressure on Bayern who have not wavered in that position for a long time |

Juventus' upcoming matches are not very easy. They will play against Inter Milan. It is very difficult for them to win against Inter. Juventus will also play against Fiorentina and Lazio. The performance of these two teams is also very good. There is no guarantee that Juventus will be able to score full points in these matches. So I think at the end of the season we will see Juventus in fourth place in the table.
I personally prefer to see the result in the match that will occur when Juventus will host their guests who are now in an alarming position. Juventus will be very favored now and indeed when they won quite easily in this match it could be a trigger for their enthusiasm to give a good performance and not to slip in this match if they really want their position to be safe |

In today's matches I do not expect any surprises and I bet on the victories of the favorites: AC Milan and Juventus. Juventus, who plays away with the unpredictable Sampdoria, certainly seems to have a more difficult task. However, Juventus is in very good shape lately, and if performs at level from a recent games, will have no problem getting 3 points.
As predicted, Juventus got a easy win with the likes of the in form Alvaro Morata who happen to be the highest league goal scorer for the team this season with 12 goals. Juventus fans will gladly take the 3 points though it was tiring watching them sit back on a lead the entire second half. Cuadrado was as usual wasteful. An easy victory and in accordance with the predictions of many people who did benefit Juventus. My easy bet now is just to wait for Milan because indeed it will still be very good if they can win because they keep their hopes of becoming champions alive. If you look at Milan currently showing up with their best squad with Giroud ready to give a surprise there |

... Did you see bad quality in the game between Real Madrid and PSG until the minute when Benzema scored after a mistake? I didn't see bad quality. That was absolute outstanding. They were dangerous as *** offensively, and they were doing ok defensively. The reason that these players can't perform at their maximum all the time in Ligue 1 is because they have seen and won so much, I think it is just human that you can't play at 110%. You are just not able to motivate yourself so hard because you are usually going to win the national title anyway. But really, speaking of low quality is quite far off...
I also completely disagree that Paris Saint-Germain showed poor quality of play in the match with Real Madrid. If it hadn't been for Donnarumma's monstrous mistake and then the referee's unwillingness to fix the violation of the rules of the game, then PSG should have calmly won this match because it looked much more solid in the game. Carlo Ancelotti would have been on the verge of being fired from Real Madrid, because before this match there were rumors that Florentino Perez was very unhappy with the first match and threatened to fire the head coach if the club did not advance to the next stage of the tournament. Another question is that such a strong team should not fall apart in a few minutes, as happened after Benzema's second goal, and this is some fault of the average level of the French championship, where the absolute majority of teams do not pose such problems to such an indisputable leader as PSG. Yes, but are you referring to Donnaruma's situation when you say that the referee was unwilling to punish Benzema for his attack? I must honestly say that I do agree it was probably a foul, but I wasn't surprised there was no whistle. It was one of these situations where there is so much drama in the game and Donnaruma did indeed *** it up, that a referee might just let the game continue. The VAR can't even do much as far as I know in such a situation. The French league now will be some sad final weeks. PSG without motivation, but still bringing home the national trophy, but nobody in the world cares. Sad to not see Mbappe play anymore in the CL. The guy is an absolute beast and a future world soccer player. Well indeed in this case it might be a long debate about the incident that befell Benzema and Donaruma but on the other hand the match is over and the referee's decision cannot be contested in this matter. Winning a trophy in the domestic league for them is not too strange so it's because they have now dominated there even since a few years ago so it's very natural that no one cares about it |

Atletico Madrid tried in defeating cadiz because I was not expecting much from Atletico Madrid. Sometimes it is very difficult for me to predict Atletico Madrid because they are not stable in their performance, which they stand to be off and on. Cadiz also tried in ball possession, they had lot of chances in the game, Atletico Madrid are lucky to have difference of 1 goal against cadiz.
Cadiz performance was not really poor to me even if it only 1 goal they achieved.
Even though they won narrowly in this match but for their game it was quite worrying in my opinion. Losing in chances and possession of the ball from a team that is actually very far compared to them I think is quite bad and indeed they have to improve their current performance. luckily their opponent was only Cadiz but what if they did something like this with a much tougher opponent then indeed this would be very bad |

There are easy matches for Juventus and Milan today. The opponents respectively for them are Sampdoria (A) and Empoli (H). None of these teams are doing good recently and I'm giving no chance for them to steal any point from the favourites of these matches. And it is important for Milan to win also as they will keep their lead in the standings by doing it. Milan are one of the very determined teams for the title now and they must continue to show their seriousness level by continuing to win their league matches.
I'm actually quite worried when they play against a team that is predicted to be easy like this because sometimes they can't use it well when playing with a team that is relatively easy and sometimes they have quite a bit of difficulty with matches like this. They will definitely be seeded in this match but it's still not a guarantee if you look at their report card playing against an easy club |

The first half of the match is now over and this is getting interesting because the Bayern players' carelessness made Hoffenheim's counter-attack immediately turned into a goal in the 32nd minute earlier.
As usual Baeyern dominates, but so far they haven't been able to maximize their chances even though they have equalized thanks to Lewa's late goal.
But I'm quite happy to see Hoffenheim fight in this match

Bayer Leverkusen's match against Koln home could be a good one too tomorrow. First of all, I don't think that it is an easy one for Leverkusen. Koln are not like a team that can be underestimated easily. They are one of the strong middle-placed teams of this season now. And actually, they are in the competition for the sixth and even the fifth place also. And Leverkusen are trying to keep their place among top four teams. But to keep this up, Leverkusen need to keep winning. It was important for them to get that point against Bayern Munich last week. And this time, I think they will win somehow.
Cologne played really well but sometimes they are very difficult to maintain the advantage when they have scored a goal. in the last few matches their performances have not been very good and this is due to their carelessness when they have scored goals. They can always be reversed even have won quite convincingly. I think they should now pay attention to this because for them I'm pretty sure they can score the opener |

Personally, I don't think Napoli will have a hard game with Verona as that team is not having the same godly defensive from last year so I think Napoli will score at least 2 goals and take the win. I do believe this just because I still think Napoli will win Serie A this year for Maradonna and also this team has finally hit the peak of a generation so it's now or who knows when...
In the first meeting of the season, Verona managed to hold off Napoli with a 1-1 draw, Napoli who controlled the game were very difficult to break into Verona defense which was very strong at that time, so I think the match will be no different from their first meeting later, Verona who is currently being ranked 9th in the standing it doesn't mean that Napoli can underestimate Verona in the match later, because after all, Verona is a team that often troubles big teams in the league. I think in this second match the result will be the same as before. The game is certain that Napoli will dominate but until now Verona's performance is still quite good, it can even be said that in the last 5 matches, Verona is much better than Napoli. I think the draw will still decorate the match even if Napoli's attacks are continuous but Verona's defense is also quite good for now |

Atletico Madrid want to finish the league in the top 4 and grab the Champions League ticket. They have strong rivals in the race for fourth place. Cadiz wants to stay in the league. Every point is worth gold to them. It will not be an easy match. Both teams will take the field for 3 points. However, Atletico Madrid are the favorites in this match.
Kick Off has started and Atletico have taken the lead quickly thanks to Felix's goal in the 3rd minute. This is a pretty good start for Atlético because thanks to this goal their confidence has increased greatly and they appear more independent. But they have to start trying to play the ball now if they really want to take the lead because now Cadiz are starting to react to the goal so they play more of the ball and prepare to attack |

Barcelona do not seem to be in a position to win the La Liga title right now. They are 15 points behind Real Madrid. Is it possible to fill this gap now? I don't think that's possible. If this point gap had been 8/9, then maybe Barcelona would have won the title. However, even if they don't win this season, Barcelona will fight for the title next season. And their team is very strong now.
Losing a lot of points at the beginning of the season made barcelona have to get out of the championship competition this season, with the remaining matches it is very impossible if barcelona is able to shift the position of madrid who is at the top, in my opinion position 2 or 3 is a realistic position can they achieve this season, I hope you are not too optimistic to see Barcelona next season become champion competitors, even though Barcelona are currently starting to be strong but that does not mean they can become trophy competitors next season, because after all next season every team will make improvements to their squad in market transfer, while Barcelona are still have financial problems, so their can only hope for free players. Their form was so messed up at the start of the season but I think it was a consequence of the chaos that had previously resulted from the unstable cash flow there and the transfer of Messi. But actually speaking of the title race, in the last few seasons they have always struggled with that and now it could be a revival point there. The focus now is not only on Messi who is the focus but on the whole team that makes Barcelona now experience the difference because there is no one player who can indeed be said to be their reference in giving the ball. |

We are going to have a Hoffenheim - Bayern Munich match two days later. And this can be quite interesting for Bayern Munich like the one against Leverkusen last week. Bayern Munich couldn't defeat Leverkusen then and surprised many people also. But they would like to atone for their mistake there this time. Hoffenheim are one of the difficult teams to defeat in this season of the league. They have been a very consistent team for 4 weeks in the league. They won all of those matches. And I've no doubt they will do their best in this one too. I think both of the teams will score but Bayern Munich will still win this match.
They will at least not repeat the same mistake, I can see the previous example when they were held to a draw by Salzburg in the UCL First Leg, They realized it was a mistake and immediately changed their performance for the better. Hoffenheim is one of the clubs that is quite good again this season and indeed their performance is still quite consistent especially with their winning streak in the last 4 matches. I think this game will still be very exciting but still Bayern will be seeded now |

That's because indeed the three teams that fill the slots for positions 1-3 have the same erratic performance which makes it quite difficult to predict.
in the last 5 matches Inter, Milan and Napoli may be seen their results are not too good, especially to fight for the championship position.
Milan 3 wins and 2 draws.
Inter 1 Win 2 lose and 2 draw.
Napoli 1 Lost 2 Wins 2 Draw.
Inter's chances were very good at first and became a strong candidate but the decline in their performance hampered it and maybe in the next match it will still be very difficult to predict
I agree, interestingly we can see different results in each match. Inter was doing very well and I think they are still one of the biggest favourites, but they are talking that it is more possible for Milan to be champions. Napoli, on the other hand, is currently at the bottom of this ranking. This is why we see a different result every day. My choice is Inter now  I personally don't want to speculate too much about who will be the current champion because these three teams, as previously stated, are very easy to lose momentum. Inter are good enough but actually they had enough momentum to be able to widen their gap but in the end they ended up being down until now they are back again. But even so, the current Awakening still cannot be used as a reference for the struggle for the championship title |
