It wasn't an easy game at all but Tottenham managed to beat Brighton home anyway. Because Brighton had quite many chances to score goals and they even had the highest percentage of ball possession during the game. I don't know how Tottenham let them play better than themselves here. They are still not playing good enough for taking a place in top four as a result.

They have no other option than keeping getting wins to be able to stay right behind this area. If they can't even join the Champions League then I think Kane would think of leaving the team more seriously.

Lampard is managing Chelsea temporarily and there isn't any change in the team for now. They lost another game in the Premier League and the level of their morale must be quite down.

I don't see them being able to resist Real Madrid in their upcoming game. I think the same about the second leg as well by the way. Real Madrid can just beat them in both legs and send them home. Maybe Real Madrid aren't consistent in the La Liga but they are the opposite in the Champions League. They wouldn't miss the chance to eliminate this weak Chelsea here for sure.

I'm just seeing a comfortable game for Manchester United now. The first game is in Old Trafford and I'm afraid Sevilla don't have much chance against them. While Sevilla are still the same there is no way they are resisting Manchester United very much. Maybe Sevilla are the most successful team in the Europa League considering the past years but this season is completely different.

They had better focus on not relegating from the La Liga as well. I know this is their only way of joining the Champions League but they can't care less about the La Liga now.

I really liked Atletico Madrid's effort against Vallecano. They got what they wanted from the game at the end. If Vallecano were in a good form then things might have been more difficult for Atletico Madrid maybe.

Of course Atletico Madrid are in a safe condition in the league from now on. It is quite difficult for them to lose their existence in top four from now on. They are just making their plans for the Champions League next season by consolidating their place. But I don't know if we would see Simeone on the other hand. I hope they try something new by parting ways with him.

I wish Arsenal won this game because I believe they technically deserved the win there. It is true that they became a little complacent after a point which they shouldn't have done. Because this caused them to give big spaces to Liverpool and they benefited from these opportunities really well. Of course this is still not a too bad result for Arsenal as they didn't lose at least.

But there was a big opportunity there to beat Liverpool in Anfield as they were vulnerable. Making point losses is making things more dangerous for Arsenal considering their title run. But I think they will start winning again by their next game.

It has been a great weekend for Roma really. They went for the opportunity and made use of it great. Now they are keeping the third position in the standings but the points are still very close to each other of course. Balances can change very quickly in a short time. Roma just need some consistency from now on as they lost some games recently.

I assume the supporters would like to see Mourinho continuing his job here if they qualify for the Champions League. But if don't see any improvement then maybe he might leave for another team.

Dortmund are really mesmerizing this season with their high level of performance for the league title. Terzic has done a really great job with the team so far. Maybe they still have some weaknesses especially in defense but this is still not a hindrance for them to maintain their title run. Bayern Munich's losing points in unexpected games also helped this title race stay alive as well.

However there is a big question mark about whether Dortmund can stay in this race until even the last week of the season. Then the season would have an amazing ending just as it has been great due to this competition.

It is claimed that Benzema has turned down an offer by a Saudi Arabia team and he wants to stay at Real Madrid for one more season.

This can really be true because he is really enjoying his game right now. This season is also going on really good for him. He made two hat-tricks recently as well. Maybe his performance this season isn't the same as the previous one but it must still be enough for Real Madrid. They will need his productivity in the Champions League as well while we are very close to the quarter final games.

I'm seeing Roma one step ahead of Feyenoord in their matchup honestly. But I must admit that Feyenoord are doing even better than the previous season now.

They are getting close to the Eredivisie title every week and they are really impressive in the Europa League as well. They played a final game against Roma in the Europa Conference League in that season as you must be remembering. Now they must be aiming the same round in the Europa League. Roma is a big obstacle ahead though. Their job won't be easy as it was against Shakhtar. I think this will also a be a competitive matchup and Roma will send their opponent home as disappointed once again.

There is a really long time until the next race in Azerbaijan. I'm really disappointed to come across a long break like this so early in the season. It is like a summer break I mean. Anyway I hope that Ferrari make use of this free time as good as possible to make an improvement. Because they look really slow and problematic still. Mercedes and Aston Martin both impress us more.

It is really funny to see Ferrari having the same kind of communication and call issues this season as well. Especially Leclerc must be having difficulties in staying patient despite all this.

Honestly I had some doubts about PSG to get past Nice today. But Messi was there to take a big responsibility to help his team win by one goal and an assist. Mbappe was also on the field but we didn't see this kind of a contribution from him. After seeing PSG that much inconsistent I was doubting them about winning this game honestly but they proved me wrong.

PSG need to keep winning from now on otherwise they might have to face the possibility of even losing the lead to Lens or Marseille.

On the first day of the quarter finals the most attention getting game is going to be Manchester City - Bayern Munich obviously.

Manchester City are quite highly favoured for the win by bookmakers now. But I find this odd gap quite bigger than it should be. Because these are both title contenders currently. Yeah maybe Manchester City are really effective in home games but still we are talking about a challenging opponent like Bayern Munich. I expect both legs to be competitive honestly but I hope Manchester City manage to get a good result in Etihad. Because I really want them to even win the title as they have zero title in the CL.

Such an incredible performance by Leverkusen since Xabi Alonso came to the team. Lastly they got a 3-1 win over Frankfurt and now they are the owner of the 6th position in the standings.

It must really be like a dream for the team now. Because before Xabi Alonso came they were struggling too much and we were watching them around the relegation zone. But now things have changed completely. Now they are seriously in the fight for European cups. I think they totally deserve to qualify for one with this effort level now. I hope to see them finishing in top 6 and being a successful run in the Europa League as well.

After seeing the performances in the first half I was thinking about the possibility that Real Madrid might lose points against Villarreal once again.

But this loss by 3-2 was much beyond my expectation from this game. Villarreal even made a comeback while they were 2-1 behind I mean. Doing this in Santiago Bernabeu is a pretty difficult work honestly. But I assume especially one thing was also a factor about this result to happen. This thing is that Real Madrid don't have a league title goal anymore. They must be fully focused on the Champions League and Copa del Rey from now on.

Juventus could have got one point against Lazio today actually. They stepped up their performance in the second half but their main problem was with finding the target. Because they were worse than the first half about that as they had only one shot on target in the whole half. They had the most ball possession in the same half as well but these all weren't any help for points.

But Juventus are really lucky that Atalanta lost as well on one hand. I wasn't expecting them to lose to Bologna home though. It looks like Juventus missed a big opportunity to catch up with them more too.

Manchester United continue from where they left. They added another victory to their winning streak by this one against Everton. Honestly they haven't been having a very challenging matchup for two weeks. But it was important for them to win to finish their bad form. In addition to that they are fighting for ending the season in top four so they need to keep this going as much as possible.

I see another comfortable game next time which is going to be an away game against Nottingham. As long as the Red Devils don't underestimate their opponent they should be good to go.

Juventus are going to have a much more difficult matchup in this round this time. Sporting have eliminated the biggest title contender in the tournament which were Arsenal.

This would surely give some momentum to Sporting in the Europa League. However I still don't trust them more than Juventus now. Because Juventus are technically a much bigger team than them. If they don't make the mistakes Arsenal made then they should be able to eliminate Sporting. We just might not see a complete domination by Juventus in the away game especially. But in Turin I will have bigger expectations from Juventus of course.

Lens are still continuing in a very determined way in this season. They got another win and made the gap with PSG only three points as well. PSG haven't played their game yet though but I don't trust them completely either. This time they are playing an away game against Nice. After seeing how many times PSG lost to the other big teams in this league it is really hard to predict them.

Lens are indeed one of the surprising teams this season and they are still able to stay in a title rivalry. I would like to see them in the Champions League after all that effort.

Liverpool - Arsenal game is closing in on us now. This is a very important game for especially Arsenal of course. They need to keep this good form continuing for the league title. They already have a significant level of advantage against Manchester City in the standings. The point gap is quite big and even playing their missing game wouldn't be enough to get too close to Arsenal.

While Liverpool are kind of aimless now Arsenal should go for this opportunity. Even though this is a big game anyway I still expect to see Arsenal being dominant here. Liverpool are still struggling with the same defensive issues.

It was such an unbelievable game between Sevilla and Celta Vigo really. Despite getting a red card Sevilla got 2-0 ahead in the game. But they couldn't keep this advantage to the end of the game. Celta Vigo made a really amazing comeback in the last moments by scoring two goals in only a few minutes. Sevilla even completed the game with 9 players.

There was a good opportunity for Sevilla to win anyway but they somehow couldn't prevent the goals came that late. Getting a win here would have been great for them to be in a safer distance from the relegation zone.
