Manchester City - Bayern Munich matchup can be much more enjoyable from now on as it seems. Because I believe Tuchel will make a really good impact on Bayern Munich with his management style. He already got a solid win in his first game against Dortmund. They were already doing good in the Champions League though but I expect them to be even stronger now.
Guardiola and Tuchel is going to face each other once again here after a long while. Let's see which one of them will be victorious this time.

I don't know when Inter are finishing this bad streak in the league. This was their fourth loss on last five weeks of the league. I really don't have any idea about the reason why they are so bad now. Because all these things started suddenly and Inter just can't do anything to fix this situation. Their last three games ended up with losses. There is no such situation like they have no goal left in the league either.
Because they are still trying to qualify for the Champions League by securing top four. This is really alarming for them as a result.

Tottenham were so bad in this game against Everton that I'm not surprised with the draw at the end. Everton weren't having a proper season already therefore Tottenham should have been able to secure a decent win here. After Everton got a red card Tottenham should have done it already. But they even barely scored one goal. A 1-0 score is always risky you know.
Everton still had a hope for a comeback and they really did it in the last minutes. If Tottenham can't even win a game like this then I'm not sure if they can secure a spot in top four.

The second leg of the Real Madrid - Barcelona matchup in the Copa del Rey is nearly upon us. Barcelona surprised me by winning in the first leg despite its being an away game.
I think this win will be a really big advantage for them in Camp Nou as well. Barcelona already beat them once in this stadium before. Maybe Real Madrid scored first but Barcelona made a really great comeback. Maybe we can watch a similar scenario here as well. I don't think Barcelona would play more complacent here. Because they would have done it in the first leg already then. But they played with their main players instead and fought for the win hard. Barcelona can eliminate them.

Some people are saying that Chelsea don't need to be in a hurry to choose their manager but I think they had better act faster than this. Because they are still a part of the Champions League now despite their condition in the Premier League. Real Madrid are a very challenging opponent so Chelsea need a much better management immediately to be able to do something at least.
But we will see when they will make their decision. There is still one week to go for the first leg.

It was a really amazing derby game honestly. It feels like Fenerbahce - Besiktas derbies are much more enjoyable than the other ones in this league.
After Besiktas got a red card I was like that was it for them. Valencia just needed to score the penalty after and game over. But he wasted it generously. Still I would have expected Fenerbahce to play dominant and win the game. But Besiktas had a really dream game by scoring 4 goals in that condition. I just don't understand how Fenerbahce can play this bad in a situation like this. It was an important game considering the league title as well.

PSG's problem has been getting bigger in time. This is two times in a row that they are losing a game in the league. Both of them have been home games which are against Rennes and Lyon. These are normally winnable ones for PSG as you know very well. They just still can't fully concentrate on their remaining games to secure the league title. The gap is dropping slowly now.
I still doubt Lens and Marseille about catching up with PSG though. But even this look must be worrying for PSG fans. It looks like Galtier isn't successful about keeping his players focused on their objectives.

Even Brendan Rodgers is speculated for the manager job at Chelsea now. As Leicester aren't having a good season maybe they could part ways with him. But I don't know if Boehly would like to see him in the team while he is having an unsuccessful season. Chelsea wouldn't like to make a similar mistake to the one they did with Potter.
Nagelsmann is the strongest candidate for the job as it seems. I really like his management style so he might be a good choice for Chelsea now.

Benfica are getting close to announcing their title every week. Because they are still on a winning streak and it has become ten games now.
This is a really impressive form and it shows how eager they are to become the champions this time. For three seasons Porto and Sporting have been in charge. This is going to be a championship that Benfica really missed. Besides they are so good at managing this league and the Champions League at the same time as well. They just want to go for the best success they can get while having a wonderful season.

After having taken the lead in the standings again I think Bayern Munich won't lose it again that easy. It looks like Tuchel has started to make a really good impact already now. I will be expecting them to become the champions in the league as usual. But at least I have enjoyed the title competition until this time. Dortmund have done a pretty good job so far.
Normally winning the league title is not even Dortmund's priority. But it looks like they have made a change for this season about that.

Real Madrid's goals were like rain. It was like they waited for this game to show a solid level of performance.
This win by a 6-0 result should be an important help for the team to concentrate on their upcoming games as well. I especially mean their Champions League games of course. Because from now on it is the only big title they can get for them. They are in the Copa del Rey as well of course but I meant more prestigious titles. Benzema was really great today by the way as he made a hat-trick.

Somehow Manchester United played really badly against Newcastle today. This played an important role in that 2-0 loss. I don't know why the Red Devils were this much weak this time. Their last head-to-head game ended up with a victory by Manchester United. They just couldn't maintain this psychological advantage over their opponent.
This was another point loss for them which has been happening for three weeks. They had better be well-prepared for Brentford in Old Trafford to finish this bad streak.

Napoli's losing the game against Milan by 4-0 home was a really big surprise to me. I was expecting Napoli to win this game despite being very comfortable for the league title already. But they just couldn't prevent this big loss. On the other hand this was an important win for Milan. Because they are trying to qualify for the Champions League at least.
This win is a really huge one for them and this should motivate them to do more as well.

It looks like there is another comfortable win waiting for Verstappen. But podium can be a little different than the previous ones this time. Because Perez's climbing to podium from the last position will be really difficult. Mercedes drivers both can capture spots there if they aren't slower than Alonso. The strategies also will be really important for this goal.
Alonso is a really competitive driver with the new Aston Martin car now. He would surely do his best to maintain his podium series. And I see Ferrari is still a huge disappointment.

Rennes beat PSG away by 2-0 last week you know but the same Rennes were beaten by Lens home this time. It is really hard to understand these teams sometimes.
On paper PSG are a far better team than all of the remaining ones. But they aren't having a consistent season as well. Now I see that Lens and Marseille both have dropped the gap to six points with PSG but it is of course due to playing an extra game. I don't think PSG would lose points to Lyon as well. I don't expect them to let a title challenge go on for a long time. We would just watch a rivalry for the second position which is important to join the Champions League group stage directly.

It was a crucial game for the league title and Bayern Munich got an important win by a solid game. I wasn't expecting this win to be this easy for them honestly. I knew how much weakness Dortmund defense had though but their offensive side was still very strong. That was my motivation to believe that it would end up with a close score. But after seeing a 4-0 score I was really surprised.
Tuchel has made a really great impact for Bayern Munich already as it seems. I don't think they will lose the Bundesliga title to Dortmund from now on.

Real Madrid and Manchester City seem like the most interested teams in signing Gvardiol in the summer. His cost to these teams might be around 75 million pounds as well according to some sources.
Gvardiol is a really skilled young defender now. Despite his very young age for a defender he has been doing a great job. He isn't good at only sweeping the dangerous attacks. He can support the attacks of his team with nice runs as well. It isn't easy to find a versatile defender like him at this age honestly. I wonder which team would be his first choice between these options.

This was just the third loss in a row for Inter in the league. I wonder when this bad form will end for their own good. They didn't play badly against Fiorentina actually. They had so many chances to score but finishing was really poor in this game unfortunately. Especially Lukaku had a bad day. He wasted a 100% goal chance as well and it was unbelievable indeed.
I don't know what is going on with this team now and they had better improve quickly. Otherwise they might have serious problems on qualifying for the Champions League.

Arsenal and Manchester City both won their games with the same scores. Manchester City had a more challenging game on paper actually but this still didn't change anything for them.
There was a total destruction by the Manchester team. Liverpool showed how weak their defending is one more time. I wonder when they will leave these bad days behind really. Anyway the title competition is still continuing now. There is quite a big gap between the first two teams now but we shouldn't forget that Manchester City have one game missing. Still it is a serious advantage for Arsenal to maintain while getting close to the end.

I think Galatasaray had serious difficulties despite winning the game by 2-0 anyway. Because Adana Demirspor had really big opportunities until Galatasaray finally got ahead in the game. A couple of them were really serious ones but Galatasaray still resisted them somehow. Galatasaray should have been a little better at defending actually. It was a home game for them in the end.
In addition to that they are fighting their way to the league title as well. They can't afford many point losses now. Let's see what Fenerbahce will do in the derby game.
