Today is just a day of miracles...  First, Liverpool lost to an underdog... Then Arsenal also lost at home to Villa... By the way, in all three matches the guests won... Of course it's all a strange coincidence and now Man City are top of the standings... I think they will be there until the end of the season... City got lucky because Liverpool and Arsenal suffered defeats, very embarrassing defeats because they happened at home. How tight the competition is towards the end of the season, all teams have the ambition to secure full points so they can finish in a more worthy place. It is clear that City progress will be very difficult to stop in the remaining matches ahead, so Liverpool and Arsenal will find it difficult to climb to the top of the standings. Previously Liverpool suffered a surprising defeat to Atalanta in the Europa League, and most recently they suffered another humiliating defeat to Crystal Palace, where Klopp will be increasingly worried about the performance of his fleet. Arsenal, who are in their best form slumped again, they will experience bad luck like last season. Meanwhile, City is actually not in a safe position, because their points difference is very narrow, and just one defeat could make Arsenal or Liverpool overtake them again. Talking about other competitions, Aston Villa was surprisingly able to break Arsenal positive trend, and Emery fleet has a big chance of finishing in the Champions League zone this season. |

PSG wouldn't feel a big pressure in the league indeed. There is no reason for that while they are in a really comfortable condition. Even if the point gap gets lower still PSG wouldn't lose the title to anyone. They are just too powerful for the remaining teams. It is very rare that we see a team beating PSG for the title in a season. This is why the Ligue 1 is very boring as well.  There is literally no competition for the league title most of the time. It is all because of one team being bought by rich people and the others' looking at them from a far point. I'm not even sure about whether this would change in this league in the future either. Many would agree regarding the competition in Ligue 1, where PSG is too dominant for other contestants, and so far Enrique fleet has only lost once. It makes sense why many people feel bored watching Ligue 1, this gap is created because PSG has abundant financial strength to build a star studded squad. The current difference in points shows how easy it is for PSG to win the Ligue 1 trophy every season, there are still 6 matches left and it is very likely that PSG will lock up the trophy sooner. Apart from that, the opportunity for PSG to wipe out all the remaining matches is quite open, even though recently Enrique fleet has often played draws. On the other hand, one instant way to make Ligue 1 more competitive is the entry of rich investors such as PIF. Previously there were rumors that they planned to acquire a majority stake in Marseille. However, until now there is no certainty about this news, if it is realized then PSG will have a balanced competitor at the domestic level. |

When Barcelona are able to win at Parc De Princes, is there a chance of PSG winning at Camp Nou? I think the chance is small. I feel confident Barcelona can win better. Although I know in the first game PSG made a lot of mistakes through Donnarumma. PSG's hopes of qualifying are very small, Barcelona have gone one foot further. Simple logic, when at home you lose, it seems that the match in leg 2 is very difficult.
For the current condition, Barcelona probably could defend their leading in the next Leg at Camp Nou. Moreover, Barcelona already won 3 goals at PSG home, they are leading the aggregate with 1 goal now. PSG is no longer in their best shape, so it will be difficult to expect they can win at Barcelona home. I personally never think that PSG will give us a surprise at Barcelona home in Leg 2. Xavi must ensure that his fleet cannot be careless in the second leg, where the difference of one goal is very easy to catch. In terms of squad depth, PSG is indeed better than Barcelona, but that cannot make them appear more dominant in the Champions League. The experience and mentality of the players are very influential here, Enrique will have to work harder in the second leg if he has the ambition to advance to the semifinals. If you assess the opportunities, it is clear that Barcelona are more favorites in the second leg, where Xavi team is in their best form, and they will also act as hosts. It looks like PSG progress will stop in the quarter finals, but I'm sure they won't fire Enrique next season, even if PSG fails to reach the final. On the other hand, even if Barcelona can advance to the final, or let's say have the luck to win the Champions League trophy this season, I think Xavi will still choose to resign. whereas Enrique seems to need to reshuffle his main squad again next season, especially if Mbappe leaves for another club. |

As for me, I know Girona was not in that great form currently, so I know that Girona's probability of winning Atletico Madrid was very low with Atletico Madrid's current form. So I was not surprised that Girona did not gain any points from the match against Atletico Madrid. In fact, Atletico was the team that hosted the game, so I really expected a lot from them.
For Barcelona against Cadiz, it was not an easy match due to the defensive pattern of Cadiz. Barcelona really really touches them, but Cadiz did not give Barcelona chances to enter their box 18 anyhow, so Barcelona was not able score more goals. As Barcelona even won with one goal, I was just happy because 3 points is what really matter a lot, and they really go away with the 3 points.
ATM ambition to confirm its position in the Champions League zone this week has been achieved, where Simeone fleet managed to beat Girona while reducing the distance between the two. Towards the end of the season the competition becomes tighter, if Girona is not consistent in winning, it is not surprising Girona will drop in ranking again. But I see that Girona will be able to recover in the remaining matches ahead, even though it will not be easy, that is the only way to finish in the top four of the standings and secure a ticket to appear in the Champions League. The defeat to ATM was indeed disappointing, it was Girona 6th defeat this season. However, it is possible that the standings will change again, but personally I think Girona will succeed in finishing in the top four. Regarding Barcelona success in getting full points against Cadiz, this will not put pressure on Madrid, because the two teams are still 8 points apart. Xavi and his fleet have the opportunity to reduce the points gap with Madrid next week in the El Clasico match, but I think that will be quite difficult to do because the match will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu. |

I'm sure Klopp still has the main target and good focus also to get a trophy also in the Europa League so, don't just because Liverpool lost 3-0 in the first leg then you thinkLiverpool don't have a focus on the Europa League. Because anyway, basically Liverpool is a team that has better quality than all theteams in the Europa League at this moment and therefore, Liverpool has a good chance also in the Europa League. But unfortunately, failure can happen at any time and yes, in the first leg Liverpool clearlyexperienced a very embarrassing failure because Liverpool lost at home too. But even so, that does not mean Liverpool lost the chance to make a comeback, because ofcourse Liverpool will still have a chance to be able to turn things around in the second leg later eventhough indeed,failure has overshadowed Liverpool at this moment. There is nothing that Liverpool have to okay in Italy, that will give them any chance of qualifying to the semifinals. I agree with you that Liverpool is among the strongest in Europa but we underestimated other clubs, just simply because Liverpool is a big name. Atalanta messed Liverpool up in Anfield on clean sheet and you are expecting a miracle to happen for Liverpool in Italy, that is not possible. Atalanta knows how to play Liverpool, and that was why they locked their defense and made Liverpool unable to find the back of the net. The only time that the ball entered the net, it was an offside. This is because Atalanta defenders are always putting Liverpool attackers on offside, so that they will not have easy access to score without going offside. The highest that Liverpool will play is to win them with one goal but not up to three. That will kick Liverpool out of the league. Catching up from 3 goals behind will be very difficult for Liverpool, even though they have a capable attack line. Atalanta managed to win in a simple way, defending and relying on counter attacks. Liverpool is favorite but Atalanta wins big, that's football we can never guarantee. Klopp will certainly try to turn things around even though it looks a little impossible, who knows, they will succeed in doing it, and luck will be on their side in the future. There are definitely many bettors who experienced losses in the first leg, and if you want to bet on the second leg, you need a lot of consideration. The European League always presents unexpected surprises, such as Milan's defeat to Roma. But on the other hand, if Liverpool fails to advance to the semifinals, Leverkusen will be the other favorite team to have the chance to win the trophy this season. But it is possible that they will experience their first defeat in the Europa League. With the 3-0 defeat to Atalanta at Anfield, many people again doubted the strength of Klopp fleet. |

In the last five matches, United was only able to achieve one win, most recently Ten Hag fleet was again held to a draw by Bournemouth with a score of 2-2. Automatically, the Red Devils position dropped to 7th in the standings due to the goal difference with Newcastle, where both have collected 50 points. The pressure is increasing day by day on Ten Hag, in fact he deserves to be kicked out of Old Trafford.
United are now 10 points adrift of Aston Villa who are in fourth place in the standings, there is no longer any hope for them to finish in the Champions League zone. The only remaining hope is the FA Cup, but there Ten Hag's fleet is also not the favorite because there are still City and Chelsea. It seems that the Red Devils need to completely overhaul their squad next season, so they can compete again as a team challenging for the title.

I also previously had thoughts about Arsenal, that Arsenal really had a good chance this season to get the Premier League trophy. That assumption happened a few days ago and before the Champions League and Europa League matches were played yesterday andyes, the results were at least a little close to my shadow. Although indeed, I alsorealize that Arsenal are still very likely to be overtaken by Liverpool and Manchester City but still, I still really appreciate the results Arsenal have this season in the Premier League. Because after all, the fact is that this season Arsenal managed not to lose to Liverpool and Manchester City in the Premier League match and with results likethat, then I assume Arsenal have a good chance of getting the Premier League trophy this season. If you look at the rapid development currently being shown by Arsenal, I also think that Arteta fleet has a big chance of winning the Premier League title this season. When the competition was so tight, the Gunners were able to be consistent and managed to lead the standings, something we rarely see from them. However, Arsenal should be alert and need to learn from last season experience, where they lost consistency towards the end of the season. Liverpool and City will continue to press and overshadow Arsenal until the end of the season, Arsenal struggle will feel tougher than their two competitors in the remaining matches ahead, because Arteta fleet has several tough matches. Arsenal consistency will be tested in the next 7 matches, four of which will be very difficult. Aston Villa, Chelsea, Tottenham and United are four opponents who have the potential to stop Arsenal, where Arteta and his fleet must really have the mentality and strategy to be able to secure full points. If Arsenal can withstand this pressure, then they will succeed in winning the trophy this season. |

The tonight's Liverpool home defeat by Atlanta has left Liverpool with a gigantic task in their next week's second leg game.
This I think is Liverpool's first home defeat since February 2023 if I'm not wrong, and obviously, it was such a humiliating home defeat to the extent that they couldn't even get a single goal at Anfield Station. The lost was as a result of the coach underating the capability of their visitors Atlanta in this game, and Liverpool got a shocken defeat .
I really didn't expect Atalanta to succeed in tarnishing Liverpool record at Anfield, besides that we have to correct previous words, where we pretty much said that the Reds were the favorite team to win. Atalanta really surprised me, the 3-0 score was really extraordinary. This is the European League, a place where absurd surprises occur. I'm sure many bettors experienced defeat in that match, because before the match started everyone believed Liverpool could win the match easily. On the other hand, it could be that Klopp is prioritizing the Premier League to win, but there is still one more leg in the future to create a surprise. Atalanta managed to play effectively, even though the Serie A representatives did not dominate possession of the ball, they managed to carry out a typical Italian strategy of dominantly defending and relying on counter attacks. Liverpool have experienced the biggest disaster this season, it was quite difficult to turn things around in the second leg because they were 3 goals behind. |

I am not underestimating Arsenal and their chances of qualifying for the semi-finals this season, even if Arsenal are unseeded when they travel to Germany in the second leg. Bayern Munich is very likely to lose even though they are playing at home, but of course Arsenal must be very careful when starting the match and must be able to avoid mistakes.
There is certainly big pressure for Arsenal when Bayern Munich are favorites at home, but if Arteta and his squad have learned from experience, then Arsenal's mentality should not be disturbed. There is plenty of time for both teams to prepare their squads and best strategies, but both teams seem to have one domestic match before the second leg starts.
Arsenal need great luck to beat Bayern at the Allianz Arena, I certainly don't mean to underestimate Arteta fleet which is on fire, but that's the fact. Bayern experience in the Champions League is not in doubt, even though they are currently unstable in the Bundesliga, Tuchel fleet has managed to show a different performance. However, if Arteta is able to find a more effective strategy, of course victory will be on their side, and I think it is possible that the winner will be determined by going to the penalty shootout round. In simple terms, with unstable performance alone, Bayern was able to hold Arsenal to a draw, who were in their best performance. It is clear that in the second leg Arsenal should be more careful, Bayern will look dominant when playing in front of their own supporters. However, if Tuchel is careless in determining his starting XI, then Arsenal will have a good chance of winning the match. That's right, both teams have one domestic match that must be completed first, before the second leg returns. |

Each will hope for his own advantage instead of the other team, which is obviously very natural. But I believe Atletico Madrid will likely win this match according to their plan. Today Atletico Madrid managed to win the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Dortmund, so the players' morale and motivation will be very good before facing Girona at home.
Maybe there will be a risk in choosing one of them as the winner, because of the poor way they ended their last few matches. Girona and Atletico Madrid have not been very consistent so far, but because Atletico Madrid is playing at home I think they will have the home advantage to play better. A draw is certainly more favorable for Girona, Barcelona and Bilbao, but Atletico Madrid looks good enough to hope to win.
It is clear, ATM and Girona will not want to share points in this match, considering that both really need an additional 3 points to strengthen their respective positions in the standings. ATM latest victory in the Champions League will certainly increase the players confidence, but the challenge faced by Simeone fleet is fatigue. ATM certainly wants revenge for their previous defeat, their opportunity is quite big because Girona is currently in an unstable period. Apart from that, ATM will be at an advantage because they will be playing at home, the additional 3 points are a priority to keep their position safe from being chased by Bilbao. But this season, all teams cannot take Girona for granted, their luck may continue again. Barcelona hopes Girona will drop points, as do Bilbao who hope ATM can stumble. But despite it all, I am sure that ATM and Girona will be able to finish in the top four of the standings, even though there are several other tough matches waiting for them ahead. This time it looks like victory will be on ATM side, Simeone fleet seems to be back on a positive track. |

They will most likely finish the season without winning a trophy. The only possibility is to win the Champions League trophy, and that is very difficult. They did not play badly in the first match and returned from England with a draw and gained the advantage for the home match, but I doubt whether they will play well enough to win the cup in the sequel. Even if they eliminate Arsenal, a strong team will be waiting for them.
The Allianz Arena will remain haunted for visiting teams, Bayern is quite tough when playing at home, Arsenal needs to work even harder if they have the ambition to advance to the semifinals. Bayern managed to get through a tough challenge at the Emirates unbeaten, where before the match Tuchel and his fleet were not favorites, and many predicted Arsenal would win the match. Experience plays an important role, Bayern managed to show a different performance when playing in the Champions League, where previously they lost surprisingly to Heidenheim in the Bundesliga and was able to play well against Arsenal. Now the pressure will be on the shoulders of Arteta and his fleet, it feels like Arsenal needs great luck to be able to win at the Allianz Arena. Bayern ambition to win the Champions League trophy this season sounds realistic, inded to achieve this they must be able to beat other strong teams, especially Arsenal in the second leg. Tuchel will not be too concerned about the remaining matches in the Bundesliga in the future, this could give them the freedom to focus fully on the Champions League, who knows, they will be lucky in the future. |

If Girona can win in the next three matches, Girona still has a chance to regain second place from Barcelona because Barcelona will face tough opponents in the next three matches. This means that Barcelona also has to win in the next three matches to be able to maintain its position in second place because one of the tough matches for Barcelona will be against Real Madrid. Meanwhile, for Girona, their tough opponent will be against Atletico Madrid in the near future, so that is the match that Girona must win before their next two matches. Basically, of course Girona will still make their best efforts to maintain theirposition in the top four but I guess, sometimes even though the team has made good efforts too but bad results can still occur any time. Therefore, although greatefforts have been made but if at the same time they are in badluck, then ofcourse defeat is also difficult to avoid. But anyway, about Girona next match against Atletico and although Girona lost but still, the fact is that Girona still has a better point advantage compared to Atletico. So yes, even though if Girona lost by Atletico, but of course Girona will still remain in third place and I think Girona is still fairly safe to still finish in the top four. The situation faced by Girona is slightly in their favor, especially as they will be safe in the Champions League zone thanks to their consistency at the start of the season. Losing against ATM will not threaten their position, the Mihcel fleet will still have a difference of 4 points later. However, ATM may not necessarily be able to beat Girona, even though they are favorites because they act as hosts. In fact, in the remaining matches ahead, Girona also has another tough opponent, namely Barcelona, Michel must try to at least achieve a draw in this important match. In the first half of the season, Girona was able to beat ATM and Barcelona, which broke all predictions that thought they would lose points when facing big clubs. On the other hand, Girona presence this season has made La Liga more interesting. When Barcelona and ATM experienced an unstable season, Girona appeared entertaining by trying to put pressure on Madrid. So I think they deserve appreciation, their hard work has paid off, the result is a ticket to the Champions League. |

Looking on matches left, Arsenal has some difficult matches against Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United with most of left team opponent want to defend their position at Champion League spot place for Spurs and Manchester United want to reach UEFA Europe League ticket next season by finish on 5th or 6th standings position.
Let's not forget Aston Villa, who are currently placed 5th in the table with the same points as the Tottenham. Although experts don't give Villa much chances of winning (only 9%) it's still potentially a tough game for Arsenal. I think Arsenal is almost guaranteed to lose some points in one of those 4 matches mentioned. If I had to bet, I'd put my money on My City to win the ECL, as they have the easiest games left compared to Liverpool and Arsenal. A careful look at the remaining fixtures of the top three teams in the English Premier League table will reveal that Mikel Arteta's Arsenal will face stronger opponents than Liverpool and Manchester City will do but that I don't think should make us to write Arsenal off. Arsenal have shown that they're more determined to win the English Premier League title this season than they've ever been since 2004 that they last won the title after going the whole season without conceding a defeat. Arsenal will play Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and even Aston Villa that are currently occupying the fourth position of the league table and those games will pose great threat to their title ambition but I still expect Arsenal to get results that'll still keep them in good position to win the English Premier League title after those fixtures are played. The title race this season is very tight and that I think is just the beauty of the English Premier League Arsenal journey looks more steep to win the trophy, where Arteta fleet has to work harder to maintain its position at the top of the standings. Arsenal opponents in the remaining matches ahead are quite tough, but that is still fortunate because they no longer face Liverpool or Man City, where these two teams are the toughest opponents at the moment. Aston Villa, Chelsea, Tottenham and Man United are tough teams too, but not as tough as Liverpool and Man City, so I think Arsenal will be able to get through this match undefeated. It could be that this season Arsenal will be lucky and be able to win a trophy, they look very ready for any pressure. Liverpool and Man City are actually still in the same situation, where their opportunities are actually the same as Arsenal, but the challenges they face are a little easier. However, one thing is certain, competition will continue to increase towards the end of the season, mediocre clubs could become a stumbling block for teams challenging for the title. A small mistake could change their position in the standings, how tight the trophy hunt is this season. |

Kylian Mbappe is not one of those players that should be criticized for being rude because over the years, he's never had any kind of altercation with managers that he's played under. The reason why he's been furious in recent games is because of the recent treatments he's getting from the manager of Paris Saint Germaine Luis Enrique. The Spanish manager have recently grown the habit of either not starting matches with Kylian Mbappe or subbing him off in the early stages of the second half on games he was included in the starting line up. For a player of Kylian Mbappe's status, you don't expect him to be happy with such kind of treatment from the manager and that's why he's not been cool with his recent attitudes with the club manager. I don't want anyone to term it as being rude in my own opinion Enrique certainly has a better understanding when deciding whether or not to include Mbappe in his starting Xi, or even when he reserves him first. What we can conclude is that Mbappe relationship with the club is not harmonious, because he decided to refuse a contract extension and potentially harm PSG because of the free transfer. Mbappe reaction is acceptable, it is very natural for a player, he feels he does not deserve to be withdrawn. But Enrique is also looking further into the future, it could be that Enrique wants to save Mabppe for the Champions League, and doesn't want the player to suffer an unwanted injury. Mbappe influence is quite large, and Enrique does not want to lose this player in more important matches. We will never know for sure what Mbappe relationship with the club is at the moment, what is clear is that he is still a PSG player at this time, and he must respect every decision made by the coach. |

 Several updates from romano. 1. Amorim seems still the strongest candidate to coach liverpool next season. It's caused by Romano's tweet, which has been signalling how Liverpool tried to keep Int to communicate with him. Club will not do that if he was not a potential candidate to replace klopp. 2. Any rumors that linked arteta to the other clubs are totally bullshit. Arteta was arsenal fans when he was not coaching the gunner. So, he remains there for the long term. 3. Several names have been linked to Juventus. This is also signalling if Allegri is having this season as his last season with Juventus. I remember that De Zerbi was recently linked to Juventus as well. 4. It's surprising news if Benzema is no longer interested in staying in the Saudi pro league. Will it become another Europe move for him? Maybe yes, maybe no. Wait for further development from him. As stated by benzema in his latest interview if he could not carry the club alone https://twitter.com/TheNassrZone/status/1777085309798285451For Liverpool fans, it would be happy news if these rumors could be realized. Amorim, who is currently still coaching Sporting, is also reportedly not guaranteed to stay at the club next season. Liverpool must move quickly to find a replacement for Klopp, they don't want to be disappointed after hearing the news that Xabi will stay with Leverkusen. Regarding the Arteta rumors, I think they are also not true, Arsenal management is building the club to achieve long term success with Arteta. Apart from that, Allegri deserves to be replaced, he seems to be struggling to handle Juventus this season, although I realize that Allegri lacks rotation options in his squad, and Juventus decline is not all Allegri fault. Regarding Benzema, it seems that the former Madrid player is not comfortable playing in the Saudi Pro League, previously several elite European clubs were said to be interested in recruiting him. I think Benzema still has the potential to show the rest of his magic in Europe top five leagues, the challenge to recruit him lies in his high salary. |

I think it is quite possible for Barcelona to still be able to maintain 2nd position because Barcelona and Girona now have a difference in performance so that Barcelona is not so stressed anymore. Moreover, Barcelona's performance is quite good now and this is inversely proportional to Girona so I don't think Girona will able to compete with Barcelona for 2nd position.
In fact, now Girona only needs to maintain the stability of their performance so that they remain in the top 4 of the standings to be able to get a ticket to the Champions League next season. Girona's position is still not safe now, especially as their performance has declined greatly.
There is no guarantee Barcelona to stay in a runner-up position until the end of the season. If Barcelona underestimates Girona, they may lose the runner-up position. Even if Girona performance is decreasing lately, they are still a strong team in La Liga. They experienced some losses because they couldn't play with full team. Now, it seems Girona all players are available for the remaining matches in La Liga. So, I assume there will be an improvement on Girona performance. Barcelona must be careful with Girona, specifically Barcelona may lose points in the upcoming El Clasico. I think it is not the time to relax for Barcelona. They have some crucial matches in the near future. Although it is not for the title, but a runner-up position is also quite prestigious. Barcelona certainly hopes to overtake Madrid position at the top of the standings and win the La Liga trophy again this season, but this is certainly quite difficult to achieve because Ancelotti fleet has a fairly wide point advantage over Barcelona. Therefore, the most realistic target is to finish in runnerup ranking, by trying to go undefeated in the remaining matches ahead. Meanwhile, in important matches such as the EL Clasico, Barcelona also has to fight not to lose, so that their position will be save for Girona pursuit. Nobody should be underestimated, because that could have fatal consequences for their position in the standings, especially if they underestimate Girona. Even though their performance has experienced ups and downs, Girona still has a chance to recover and be consistent. Girona is a little lucky because they only focus on La Liga matches, unlike Barcelona who have matches scheduled in the Champions League where this can divide their focus. On the other hand, I also believe that Girona will be able to maintain their position in the top four of the standings, so that they will appear in the Champions League next season. |

Heidenheim was able to score their third goal on the 79th minutes by T. Kleindienst to give them victory over Bayern Munich, as they failed to equalize the goal and share points. The point gap between Munich and Leverkusen is increasing, as it has increased to 16 points, making it impossible for Bayern Munich to close the points gap.
I don't know what is happening to Bayern Munich currently, as they have become inconsistent, and losing to smaller clubs. It might be a big problem for them when they clash with Arsenal in the Champions League. If Bayern Munich is not careful VfB Stuttgart might overtake them.
Bayern Munich seems to have lost their best playing form and they even seem to be very weak in the defensive area. Bayern Munich's defeat in that match made them even further behind Leverkusen, so it is certain that this season's title race is increasingly closed for them. This will be a bad season for Bayern Munich because despite having great players they fail to dominate. I think the coach's ability is the problem because previously Bayern Munich did not play as badly as this season. The coach is much more responsible because he is the one who determines the strategy in playing so that good and bad results will be determined by the coach's strategy, although the players are also responsible for some of the bad results they get. Tuchel is the figure who is fully responsible for Bayern performance this season. The agreement to part ways at the end of the season apparently has no impact on improving the team performance, where Tuchel fleet is still losing to a mediocre club like Heidenheim. With the current difference in points, I consider the competition for the Bundesliga trophy to be over, because Leverkusen only needs one win to win the trophy. It would not be wrong to say that this is Bayern worst season in the last decade, where they have a capable squad depth but failed to compete to defend the trophy. On the other hand, even though Bayern performed as well as last season, they will not be able to compete to match the consistency of Leverkusen who appear unbeaten to date. The Bundesliga still has a few more matches left, it is possible that Bayern will stumble again, and they will be further adrift from Leverkusen. Meanwhile, the pressure they face will become even heavier, because now their position will be threatened by Stuttgart. If Tuchel and his fleet are still careless, then their position will be overtaken by Stuttgart in the future. |

This is a very difficult target, Madrid does have quality players and is ready to face Man City in better conditions. However, the problem is Pep Guardiola strategy often makes things difficult for Ancelotti. Ancelotti is a coach who has experience in the UCL, no doubt about him, but if he can't find the weakness in Guardiola's strategy, when you say that Madrid can win with a big score, I'm not sure about that. Even a 2-0 win is very difficult to achieve. IMO Many people underestimate Manchester City because they only know that Real Madrid is the king of the Champions League with more titles. It seems as if Real Madrid can never be defeated and is invincible to any opponent, but in reality Real Madrid can also fail in many seasons. The Real Madrid and Manchester City match is very difficult to predict. Both teams have great coaches and are very experienced in the Champions League, they also have players who are ready to give their best for their team. Real Madrid has a good midfielder, Manchester City has one too, and both teams have a good squad to beat each other. Both teams have a good mentality to face any team, so this match will be very difficult. People will support their respective teams regardless of the probability and superiority of the other team. This is a fact that we can see from both teams, so I agree that the Madrid versus Man City match is difficult to predict. It's true that everyone will favorite their respective teams, but for bettors they seem to require a lot of consideration. It is difficult for us to find weaknesses in these two teams, and they also have the complete attributes to beat each other. Home or away matches may not have a big impact on these two teams, they have a good mentality when under pressure. Madrid is a phenomenal team in the Champions League, their history and achievements will always be a motivation for other teams. But that won't make a difference, because the season has changed and they have to keep fighting hard to be able to do it again. On the other hand, now the two teams are preparing to face each other in the quarter-finals, with just a few days left we will witness one of the best matches of the season. But speaking of preparation, Madrid has more time than City, this might affect their performance later. |

There is no way Liverpool was going to win Manchester United at old Trafford after what happened to Manchester United during the week when they played Chelsea, the best result Liverpool could for Liverpool would have been a draw which they achieved it, after a dominant first half from Liverpool which ended 1:0 in favour of Liverpool Manchester United git their tactics right in the first 20 mind of the second half allowing Liverpool do the playing and hitting them on a counter,
Dropping points at this time for teams in contention for the title and teams in contention for European spots will prove costly at the end of the season, at least with the draw it still keeps them on second position with an inferior goal difference to arsenal with more than 5 games to play.
The Manchester United vs Liverpool match at Old Trafford today really presents a very fierce competition and is also quite extraordinary for both of them. Because apart from them attacking each other with their own tactics, both of them are also quite good at defending against attacks. So only small mistakes can result in goals in today's match, such as a goal from Bruno Fernandes and also a mistake made by Wan-Bissaka in the forbidden box, which allowed Liverpool to equalize for today's draw. The draw was in line with Arsenal expectations, where Arteta fleet has now taken over the top of the standings on goal difference. How fierce the competition for the Premier League trophy is this season, and now Arsenal have proven that they are able to overcome the pressure towards the end of the season. Liverpool ambition to assert its position at the top of the standings was held back by United, which was a fair result for both teams. Both teams played well in that match, we were quite entertained by the buying and selling of attacks that occurred throughout the match, but Klopp fleet seemed to appear more dominant. Wan Bissaka looks like he will be the player who gets a lot of attention, as a result of his tackle Liverpool were awarded a penalty. I think the Ten Hag fleet was lucky not to lose, because previously they were beaten by Chelsea, and today they made good use of the home game. Apart from the match, Arsenal are now the luckiest team, and they will be very grateful to United. There are now only 7 Premier League matches remaining, Arsenal, Liverpool and City will be under heavy pressure from their next opponents. Arsenal will have a tough match next week because they will face Aston Villa, while Liverpool and City will face easier opponents. |

The battle for the top four and three positions in the Italian League standings for the remainder of this season will continue to become fiercer if Bologna and Juventus feel disturbed by Roma's pursuit. Because so far Roma has started to continue to improve in getting points to catch up with the two positions which are still occupied by Bologna and Juventus. So Bologna and Juventus must not be careless in the next match and must immediately make a comeback in themselves so that Roma cannot catch up with them so easily through the points obtained through the remaining matches this season. That's right, Juventus must try hard to maintain its position in the top four of the standings, because Bologna is only 1 point behind them at the moment. If they lose points again when they face Fiorentina tomorrow, then Bologna chance of moving up to 3rd in the standings is quite big. Allegri must increase his vigilance from now on, because towards the end of the season the intensity of the competition will become increasingly difficult. Another threat comes from Roma, De Rossi fleet certainly has the ambition to finish in the Champions League zone. Their ambitions are very realistic with the remaining games ahead, they have a big chance of finishing in the top four when the season ends. A number of important matches ahead will greatly influence their position later, especially the Roma versus Bologna match in Week 33. It's a shame if we look at Juventus current performance, they have only been able to achieve one win in the last 5 matches, Allegri fleet seems to have run out of steam towards the end of the season. If Juventus does not immediately create a turning point in performance, it is possible that they will be knocked out of the top four positions in the near future. |
