Chelsea will really have to pull out all the stops to beat Madrid tonight. Last meeting, Madrid won 1-3 in London, but the same final score was also on the board in Madrid in favor of Chelsea. This could well be a game with a considerable number of goals, in any case it seems to me an open game in which Real Madrid will certainly not play defensively. They will play exactly the same as they normally do. They can also only play one way, extremely sharp counter football and they are very good at that. But in the other match between napoli and Milan, there are also plenty of chances for both teams. So we get 2 clashes today.

Bayern Munich no longer has a very heavy program on paper. The top teams have largely already had them in double confrontation. But at the moment Bayern might not care who they play against. They won very easily against the strongest team Dortmund and even led 4-0 in no time. But against teams from the mid-engine they have a very difficult time and they do not get further than a draw. Could this be a motivation problem?

In the end another easy victory for AS Roma. As expected in this match actually. There were only a few games today. all of Italy is of course looking forward to this week in which both Napoli and both clubs from Milan will be active. It could go either way, but what is fairly certain is that Inter Milan will progress to the next round. That can't go wrong anymore, but crazier things have happened. I think there is little focus for the league at the moment, teams like Lazio and Atalanta could benefit from that.

Again and again Barcelona failed to get three points against teams in the bottom zone, or maybe Xavi is making some tactical and strategic experiments that are still not optimal in these two easy matches. I don't understand what happened, because even though Barcelona are relatively safe at the top of the La Liga standings, but Barcelona shouldn't have failed to win because in this match Barcelona only played against mediocre teams.
Lewandowsi also doesn't seem to have a big effort to score many goals in every Barcelona match, so it is difficult for Barcelona to take advantage of the opportunities they get to score a goal. Indeed, it doesn't matter because Barcelona still won 1 point, but if results like this continue then of course Barcelona are experiencing problems in their performance.
Even though with this draw the difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid is still very far, I agree with what you said that if Barcelona continues to show this kind of performance, it's not impossible that they will start to slip in the next game. It is true that Xavi is trying a new experiment in his formation. This can be seen in one of his players, Alejandro Balde, who fills the left winger position, even though this position is usually filled by Gavi, but Gavi, who has several positions, is placed in the midfielder this time. But it seems that the strategy did not go smoothly and instead they are very difficult to score goals. Another 0-0 game at Barcelona. It's not all that swinging this season. They have kept the 0 again. For example, Barcelona has dropped quite a few points here and there in recent weeks if you add it up. If Real Madrid had been a little less sloppy, they still had chances to become champions. The 2-3 home defeat against Betis was the final blow for Real. And Atletico were already leading 2-1 against Almeria at half-time, but they have to work hard for it. Atletico could also use another success, even though they became champions a few seasons ago during covid. |

What is striking is that the CL teams have 2 weeks between a match, while the rest at the EL is only 1 week. I suspect that there are commercial reasons behind this and that you have to give in to that. Let's face it, we might not want to have 4 games in one night either. That's too much of a good thing and doesn't look nice either. Competition decay it's not natural, I've never really thought about it. Bayern Munich does have an experienced trainer in Tuchel who knows how to make it difficult for Manchester City. But they definitely need to score 4 goals or 3 for extra time? Difficult: Yes. Impossible: no

Arsenal have lost some very important points today and they have undoubtedly been a huge disappointment for everyone. But they played good football throughout the season. And they gave us the feeling that they were going to be champions. I hope they win the Manchester City game and reach the championship this season with everyone's admiration. I really think they deserve this. I want to open a parenthesis for Saka in today's match. He should have left the penalty kick to the more experienced Gabriel Jesus. I think he was a little selfish in that position. Anyway, I hope Arsenal don't suffer the sad end that Liverpool had last year.
Arsenal lost 4 points out of 6 from Liverpool and West Ham matches respectively, imagine conceding 2 goals those in both matches isn't a good performance for a title hopeful the outcome of those two matches had already dented their title aspiration, they had opportunity of making it 3-1 today unfortunately Saka missed penalty kick turned things around for West Ham, if Man City wins their oustanding match the gap between the two teams remains 1 point infact arsenal had put themselves in a precarious position now with more pressure on the team it's up to Arteta to steer them out with the remaining 7 matches. Arsenal have missed a number of valuable points, but can mainly blame themselves. In the last 2 games, against Liverpool and West Ham United, they led 0-2 both times and both times it has become 2-2. So you throw away 4 points there, which are 4 points that you could have used very well right now. Then you would have just had a nice gap with City, which wins the games more easily, especially in recent weeks. But it is not flawless at City either, only Haaland knows how to score a goal everywhere and City just has that striker and Arsenal does not. That probably makes the difference in the championship. |

Carlsen is the number 1 in the world, but Ding Liren and Ian Nepominachi are also very good players. If I'm not mistaken, those are the numbers 2 and 3 of the world ranking, so they can definitely decide in their favor in a confrontation with Carlsen. What is striking so far is that few draws have been played. Only 1 time and both managed to win 2x and then of course also lose 2x. Then the question is who can take it now. I think the game can go either way and we don't have a favorite for this game. But in chess, even a small mistake can mean a disastrous defeat. Also at this level of the World Cup.

And there is the 1-0 for Sassuolo. That is not good for Juventus, which also has a match in the Europa League this match. Maybe all those games too much in a row. And next Thursday they also have to play for the Europa League again, then there are few rest moments that way of course. It is difficult to compare the competition seriously for Juventus, since there are 15 points from Juventus have declined and you therefore get an incorrect reflection of the balance of power. Even then, Juventus managed to collect a decent number of points.

Getafe vs Barcelona
Barcelona take on Getafe tonight to increase their points gap with Real Madrid. If they win today's match, Barcelona will go far ahead of Real Madrid.
Looking at the statistics for the month of March, Barcelona have won all four of their matches. And Barcelona beat ELCHE by four goals in their last match. So today against Getafe, Barcelona will enter the field with a different confidence.
O. Dembélé is going to miss today's match due to hamstring injury.
Barcelona is far ahead of Real Madrid in La Liga. As such, we expect Barcelona to defeat Getafe for sure in today's match. Because Getafe is far below Barcelona in performance and as Barcelona are playing every match they will be able to easily beat Getafe. The further course of the competition is no longer interesting for the title. The title was already certain for Barcelona after winning the head-to-head match against Madrid. A hard defeat in the cup followed, so you can ask yourself how successful the year has been for Barcelona. Also eliminated in the CL and then also in the EL, you can't possibly be satisfied with that I think. But in itself you see an upward trend for Xavi and his team. Madrid will also have mixed feelings and will depend on the performance in the CL. |

United is the big loser of this round so far. And Martinez is probably not there in the return in Seville either. Feeder Fernandez is also not participating. And a huge mistake by Malacia that led to the 2-1. It's going to be another hot night in Seville, but I think United are still favorites to go through. If they go out, they will be very disappointed, that will be a big disappointment. United are seen by many bookmakers as the title favorite at this stage. You can also go out against Sevilla, that will be a relief for Juventus.

For me, Bayern Munich is still the favorite to win the league. Not because they are playing so great now, but other teams will also lose points. Bayern is in a bad fast of the competition, and the CL is also the end of the story, of course, normally. Although they still have a chance there against City. I don't know if Dortmund is satisfied with a possible 2nd place. They smell in Dortmund that there is a championship title in it this year. Then you also want to win it and a 2nd place is unacceptable. In the end, they managed to cope with the departure of Haaland.

The next games for next week are the games of Chelsea and Napoli, both playing at home. Chelsea has already been eliminated from all bookmakers, but how certain is that really? 2-0 is a good result for Real, but Real has also proved vulnerable in other games and Chelsea even led 0-3 in Madrid the last time both teams played against each other. No harbinger or guarantee, just some info. Those are numbers Chelsea should hold on to, just a shame they lost to Brighton in the league today. They have a new trainer, but he can't do magic either, of course.

Difference between City and Arsenal is only 3 points. These are points that can simply disappear like snow in the sun. I hope Arsenal can keep it up, the end of the competition is approaching, but secretly it is also very far away from the other side. City hate to hold on to this level because that is their level. At Arsenal everything has been going well for a long time, but lately there have been a few schuertjes in the team. That 0-2 lead at Liverpool, which eventually became 2-2, could really be very crucial for the competition.

Bayern Munich has again wasted points, but DOrtmund has failed to take advantage of that unfortunately. 0-2 ahead and deep into injury time it was also 2-3. Dortmund certainly has chances to become champions, but you have to take every chance you get, because you won't get that many chances again. I wonder if Bayern Munich will perform a bit better, by far the worst season in the last 10 years or maybe longer. The goodwill factor is very high at Dortmund, but of course you won't make it with that alone. There is still hope for Schalke m not to be relegated directly.

It has been a while since the world championships were organized in America. The Olympic Games have often been organized there, in the continent of North America. But I don't remember World Cup football that way. At least not since 2000, because from that date I started checking some statistics and looked at some information from all the final tournaments. America is a large country, logistically it is quite a job to arrange all this properly. As a player, it is also absolutely not nice to have to travel everywhere. As a player I would not like to stay in Mexico, you often hear stories from the criminal world there, you have to be able to feel safe as a player in an area where you play football.

Schalke 04 - hertha BSC will be this weekend's cracker. Not in terms of level, but in terms of tension. If Schalke loses, a return to the 2nd bundesliga seems imminent. It's not that many games anymore in the competition. Very frustrating especially for the Schalke 04 fan, there were times when Schalke could still compete with the European top, in which they even managed to beat Real Madrid 3-4 in madrid. I think it would be 6-0 now. Despite Bayern Munich's mediocre season, they have scored a whopping 77 goals. That is really a lot in relation to the rest. By the way, Stuttgart can also relegate at the bottom, it has been a remarkable season so far.

This is a fun and very entertaining subject anyway. I can also remember that there have been people who have bet very large amounts on matches in which the odds were around 1.01. And another well-known example is the game between Germany and Sweden, played sometime around 2010. Germany had a 4-0 lead in that game but managed to make it 4-4. And that odds weren't even 1.01, I thought it was around 1.005. So half of 1.01. There was someone who had bet a million on that, who assumed that it would be eur 10,000 for free. But instead he lost the capital of 1 million.

AC Milan is the favorite to win tonight's match against Napoli. And why not? Last in the league they won 0-4. That seemed like a match/result against amateurs when you see 0-4. But Napoli is very dominant throughout the competition and they have also made a big impression in the CL at times. Benfica was a huge disappointment, thus losing 0-2 then we can conclude that Inter will continue. A semi-final between 2 Italian teams is 95% certain. Are we waiting for that? I do not think so. But Napoli - Manchester City would be a great poster. City is through to the next round, even though crazier things have happened in Munich.

Juventus lost to Lazio at serie A, that does mean their performance is poor, still Juventus performance is good and their is stable and very strong, Juventus have a chance to win the Europa League title if they focus entirely on the Europa League matches. although losing points in several matches in the Premier League, still Juventus is still a strong team.Having said that, let Juventus should also focus on the Premier League as things are a bit complicated.The team is quite consistent in the Premier League. Juventus will face sporting cp in the next Europa League match. the stickers have to play well. If the attacking performance is weak, they will not be able to defeat Sporting team, in the next match, let the sticker play well, and the attacking performance should do well and you will see Juventus will be able to good premier league title.
I don't see this defeat as a bad performance for Juventus, they have a very stable winning trend this season and can move up to 7th in the standings. So in my opinion one defeat in the last few matches in Serie A is not necessarily a benchmark that Juventus' performance is bad. Sporting, who will be their opponent later, is still a fairly balanced opponent for Juventus and I am quite sure that Juventus will still be able to win, especially since the first leg will take place at Juventus' home ground. Juventus has a low ranking in the Italian league A, but that is only because of the 15-point deduction introduced by the Italian football association. Otherwise we would have had a completely different ranking. Juventus has a very good chance of winning the EL this season. And it has been a long time for Juventus before they achieved international success. United is the favorite against Sevilla but is very volatile, they could also lose to Sevilla and then the way seems to be open for Juventus to take the title. |
