Monaco seemed really vulnerable against Lens today. I wasn't expecting this kind of a game between these two teams honestly. I thought that we would watch a very competitive game and the result would also be a close one. However this wasn't the case at all. Lens totally dominated the first half especially and this helped them secure a 2-0 lead already there.

Monaco tried something in the second half but that was no help I'm afraid. This win was really important for Lens because there is a chance of finishing the week at the second position. Marseille's job will be quite difficult against Lyon away in my opinion.

Manchester United are still watching Osimhen closely for a possible offer in the summer. However they aren't going to be the only team to make this offer either. They will most probably face some other big and champion teams to sign him. In that case it would be really difficult to sign him for them. Osimhen wouldn't even like to leave Napoli easily while they are having a wonderful season.

Only some specific teams might be able to make him think about his future twice before making his final decision. I don't know if he has any intention of joining Manchester United honestly. They are a better team now compared to the previous season but they still have a long way to go.

Roma - Leverkusen is another matchup in the semi finals and my favourite side is Roma in this. I think this is also a competitive one for Roma. They won against Feyenoord by 4-1 in the second leg maybe but that wasn't an easy win at all actually. Dybala's goal make them get back to life again. This time Leverkusen are going to face them and who knows maybe this will be an even tougher matchup.

Leverkusen are doing a really work with Xabi Alonso this season. They are wonderful in the Bundesliga with their climbing the positions and they want to go for the Europa League title as well obviously. But I think this will be the point they will stumble and Roma will reach the finale.

It is all in Dortmund's hands to keep their lead until the end of the season and announce their league title at the end from now on. There are only five weeks left in the season so it must be really exciting for Dortmund players. This week was really an opportunity and things went Dortmund's way as well. Bayern Munich must be very frustrated with losing against Mainz.

Maybe they handed the league title to Dortmund right now. I still can't trust Dortmund completely though but I'm still on their side to finish this domination of Bayern Munich in the league for years finally.

Maybe not much but technically there is still an opportunity for Real Madrid mathematically to try their best for the league title. The result of the Barcelona - Atletico Madrid game is going to be very important for Real Madrid to maintain their hopes. While Atletico Madrid are still pushing really hard in their games maybe they might surprise us with an unexpected result.

Real Madrid's priority is of course the Champions League title but they should still fight for the best they can in the La Liga on one hand. Because the fans would also like to see them not giving up already while there are still many weeks for the end.

Lazio's losing to Torino was unexpected to me after seeing that lovely winning streak in the league. Now that Juventus are back in top four zone again they can go for the second position in the standings as well.

They are only two points behind now and winning the game against Napoli will be enough to take this position. No matter what Lazio and Juventus both should be able to qualify for the Champions League easily. There has been some drop in Juventus' effort maybe but Lazio definitely deserve a place in the Champions League with this general effort level. The last place for the Champions League might be taken by Roma if they don't start playing badly for some weeks.

It was a pretty interesting game between Liverpool and Nottingham. It should have been a comfortable win for Liverpool side normally but I can say that they had quite big difficulties in winning this like that. Whenever they get ahead Nottingham were also able to answer with a goal. Of course Nottingham are also trying to stay in the Premier League but it isn't the only reason of course.

If Liverpool were able to have a consistent season then they would have been able to perform in a more strong way. Instead they are struggling against even the teams in the relegation zone.

The only place I want to see Zidane when we think of the options now is PSG in my opinion. PSG is definitely the right place for him to have big successes again just as he experienced with Real Madrid.

PSG are also consisting many quality players. Mbappe and Neymar seem like they are staying now but Messi might choose to leave depending on the situation. He hasn't still extended his contract. But let's say Zidane has arrived then this might be effective in Messi's decision maybe. Messi's priority would be Barcelona anyway of course. But if he doesn't get an offer and there isn't any deal then he would rather stay for one more season with PSG I assume.

For Inter - Milan, I think Milan can get past Inter as well. Actually they weren't very impressive against Napoli but still managed to eliminate a dominant Napoli. I don't even think that Inter would be in control as much as Napoli against Milan. I expect a more competitive matchup this time. Therefore this should be an extra advantage for Milan to play more comfortably and find more chances to score.

The results in both legs can still be close of course but I will be favouring Milan for the finale. These teams both are out of top four now in the Serie A so they must fight hard for making it to the final round.

PSG weren't going to have a tough game already and they met the expectations by winning the game. But I would still have expected them to win this one by a bigger goal gap of course. Because Angers are literally the last team in the standings right now. How can't PSG win this more comfortably? I know that they are comfortable in the lead from now on but still people expect these things.

Mbappe was the most impressive player with 2 goals and Messi made a contribution with an assist. Messi has been a complete team player so far with 15 goals and assists each in the league by the way.

Betis are going to have a quite tough game tomorrow. It is an away game against Osasuna and the odds are favouring their opponent at the same time. But there isn't a big gap between the winning odds of course.

It is important for Betis to win this game and maintain a winning streak. They beat their opponent in the past this season and hopefully they can do it again. It would be a really competitive game I presume but even a win by one-goal gap would be okay for them. Because they are still in this fight for the fourth position in the standings. Therefore there is no room for losing many more points on the remaining weeks of the season. I expect a win by 1-0 just as their first game this season.

I don't think Juventus can hold off Sevilla in the semi finals if they continue to play like this. They had such a poor level of performance about finding the target especially. It was the summary of the second leg against Sporting I mean. The only shot on target found the back of the net and they managed to secure a 1-1 draw to advance. But they might not go on in this way for a long time.

Sevilla were not much impressive before but now they seem solid. Their second leg performance was really incredible. There was a big improvement compared to the first one. They should be able to maintain this level against Juventus as well and this might be enough for them to move on to the finale too.

This is just a horrible way to start the week in the league for Arsenal. I was very confident about them to take the win here without much problem. But their letting Southampton get 3-1 ahead was really insane. Ramsdale made a huge mistake very early in the game and caused themselves to concede a goal maybe. But this would have still been reversed by Arsenal as they were the much stronger side.

Instead they struggled to answer for a long time and they barely secured a draw at the end. They could have still won the game though if they didn't waste a couple of more chances after it became 3-3.

Lazio are still an unstoppable team in the league with a long-running impressive form. They are still unbeaten for so many weeks and I think they are about to add another victory to their winning streak of four games as well. They have a home game against Torino and they are highly favoured of course. But Lazio's odd is still higher than my expectation which is interesting on one hand.

Immobile's absence is bad for them maybe but still they are way stronger than Torino now. I think their current odd is just a good opportunity to take advantage of now.

Villarreal are technically in a better condition than Sevilla in the standings now. But Sevilla are still favoured against them for the game on Sunday. The odd margin is not that big though but still.

Villarreal got a really bad loss the last time. They lost against Valladolid home and it was unbelievable for me. Just how can you lose this easy while you are in a fight to qualify for a tournament? They were even maintaining a wonderful form as well. I wouldn't expect Valladolid to be the team to stop this series. Sevilla have improved their morale a lot by eliminating Manchester United in the Europa League. If they manage to show the same effort against Villarreal too then I don't think they will lose this game.

Pochettino might also be a good option for Chelsea. I think they shouldn't act very fast about bringing Nagelsmann instead. He is also a really good manager of course and I don't have big doubts about him. However Pochettino is much more familiar with the English Premier League as he managed Tottenham for a long time. He wasn't managing the team badly as well.

Chelsea have a good potential with these players actually. They only need the right game plan and vision to start getting better than this. I hope their final decision helps them have a good season next time. This season has been a big failure for them.

Leverkusen are going to host Leipzig on this game week. This is a quite tough game for both teams first of all. Bookmakers are showing Leverkusen as the favourite side by a slight odd margin.

This is related to the recent forms mostly of course. Because Leverkusen have been much more impressive so far for so many weeks. They still need to keep this up otherwise they can lose their spot for a European tournament. Leipzig beat them by 2-0 before but then Leverkusen were really bad. Now they are even more impressive than Leipzig these days. They have newly eliminated Union SG in the Europa League too. This must be like an extra motivation source to win this.

Juventus are back in top four again really and they have a really good advantage as well. As long as they improve their form and keep up a decent performance they wouldn't lose their place in this area. Maybe they will most probably be qualifying for the Champions League. But I hope that they don't get a similar punishment once again in the near future.

If they were able to collect more points before then they might have even been in a title competition with Napoli now.    Anyway this season can still end very well for them. They have a chance to take the second spot from Lazio too.

It was a really epic comeback by Roma by the way. They were really in a troubling condition after conceding that goal in the last ten minutes. But they still managed to make it to extra time by scoring a goal in the last moments. In extra time Feyenoord failed really hard. Roma took the control of the game and scored 2 more goals to finish the job.

I really thought for a moment that Feyenoord would manage to eliminate Roma. Roma were one of the biggest title contenders. But they once again failed against Roma after doing the same in the Europa Conference League.

Newcastle are going to host Tottenham this week and it is important for top four. Newcastle are already holding a nice advantage in their hands as you know. They are three points ahead of Tottenham. In addition to that they have a missing game to play as well. This is a wonderful opportunity for them to open the point gap with Tottenham even more.

Tottenham are having a really bad time these days. We have all seen how they lost to Bournemouth home previously. They need to find a way out of this not to lose their chance for the Champions League completely. But for this game honestly Newcastle look more credible to me for the win. They are in a much better form.
