Indeed, that is not too far a distance if you look at the remaining matches in Serie A, but the problem is that Napoli have not shown a decline in performance which will make the distance of points thin. They always make the most of the games they play, and in performance they are stable and don't appear to have any problems that would make their game not good. One by one the opponents that confronted them they succeeded in defeating. If other teams can not improve performance, then Napoli will move comfortably. And in fact the current rival team does not look ready to tackle Napoli.

Yes it is still too early to say Napoli will be champions this season with 25 games remaining. But it depends on their rivals who will still meet each other, especially in the second round of Serie A. The chances of Napoli going down are still very high, but will Napoli just let that happen? certainly not. They are the most perfect team now with no defeats in the league, it's hard to stop them.

49 - nara1892

Well, this is a match that is quite worth the wait. We know Senegal is one of the best clubs to represent Africa now especially they are currently AFCON champions which of course is something bigger than expectations. On the other hand the Netherlands is also currently in a good trend, the current players apart from young players they are also quite qualified and of course they are now back into one of the seeds. But in this case I will probably be on the Dutch side because from the qualifications they are very good.

It is likely that this will be worth watching, although there are still many who think that for a big club the Europa League is not too valuable, but for Manchester United and Barcelona this must still be taken especially considering Xavi's condition, which now clearly needs a trophy to survive.
On the other hand, for Manchester United, this must still be prioritized because it is difficult for them to get a trophy in the EPL so this can be at stake for the Europa League so that they at least feel a more competitive competition here.

Actually I can't say it's an ideal final because I'm still a little more confident for Arsenal than Manchester United if you look at his form this season. But on the other hand it's still a good fight because they haven't seen each other for a long time and they last met in the Champions League with different players.

I agree with this, Although indeed in the last 4 matches they could not have a good match but on the other hand this can also be leaned on the 5 core players who are still in treatment.
Potter was one of the coaches who stole the show last season at Brighton and this is the first time he has coached a big club, of course there have to be adjustments and his performance will not instantly become good considering that in this case adjustment is one factor that can be decisive.
It's still too early to see him having to be substituted because even the matches were not all bad even though in the last 2 matches he couldn't get any points.

This was beyond my expectations because in this match I still felt that Madrid were far superior, but the result was beyond my expectations. They have to drop points again in this match and 2 games only 1 point they can really make this hard I believe.
Though they need points to make Barcelona to 2nd position again but in the end they are now 2 points behind Barcelona.
Losing Benzema is still one of the scourges that is quite difficult for Madrid in this regard.

Opponents of Real Madrid is a team that can be said to be ordinary compared to Real Madrid. It should be a match that Real Madrid will win over their current opponent is also nothing special. But they must remain careful because last week they were held to a draw by Girona who are in a worse standing than Rayo Vallecano. Rodrygo is still trusted to fill the front line to replace Benzema, and in midfield there will be rotation because Kroos will miss this match. Now that they are 2 points behind Barcelona who won this week, they must win if they want to return to the top of the table.

This is a fundamental problem for some teams during the middle of the season, the end of the season or the break. Yes, sometimes they come back unlike before, some are better, some even come back with a very drastic decline and not infrequently they also return with stable performance. It's hard to say what went wrong to cause some teams to have such a habit.
It is the coach's full responsibility to keep their performance stable or even better. Maybe the cause of their reduced intensity together or fitness is another reason.

The draw in the play-off round is

And it's a meeting between Barcelona vs Manchester United which I think is the biggest game in this play-off. Barcelona failed from the Champions League to the Europa League and Manchester United had been waiting after failing in the group stage because they had to be willing to lose in goal productivity to Real Sociedad. And now they will meet again, from the statistics of the meeting, Barcelona is superior to Manchester United.

Again this was a meeting I didn't expect, I wanted an easier opponent than Real Madrid, but the draw said Real Madrid would be our opponent. Our main mission is revenge against Real Madrid, but with Liverpool's current condition there is very little chance for Liverpool to do that. I really hope Jurgen Klopp will be motivated by seeing their opponents in the last 16 as the team that has smashed Liverpool several times for the title. I hope the players are also more motivated to do their best in the next game. Liverpool have to show they are better than Real Madrid now and complete the mission.

No, towards the end I didn't see the harmony between Barcelona officials and Pique because we know that Barcleona has owed Pique quite a lot and some sources say Barcelona's debt to Pique is almost 80 million and that is a big debt for the player so at the start of the season. then there was some hope from Barcelona for Pique to leave so this worsened the situation at Barcelona.
I personally have a little empathy for Pique because Barcelona's policies have clearly cost him and many other players who don't receive the right amount in my opinion.
But indeed with his current retirement I do not know the continuation of this debt to the player.

This should be a momentum for revival especially Southampton is also in transition, especially with their coach being sacked for not being able to bring them to good performance.
This must be maximized properly but when talking about things like this for Liverpool now it is clear that it cannot be an easy win for Liverpool especially in this case Liverpool's condition is also difficult to predict because their performance is still inconsistency which is not really good.
But I'm still pretty sure they will be in the top 4 especially there are some threats from the top brass if Klopp can't bring Liverpool to finish in the top 4 then he will definitely leave Anfield after 7 years as a coach.

In this match I really like the game in their midfield because indeed Rabiot and Kostic's performance is very good in guarding and messing up from Inter's midfield and with Kostic's two assists in this match it is really very good for him, On the other hand Szczesny too performed very well under the Juventus bar as he was always spot on in keeping up the momentum and had some good saves in this match.
Inter struggled a bit even though there were lots of opportunities for them but in the end with the tight defense from Juventus they couldn't score a single goal in this match.

There are a lot of big matches happening right now and of course it's really good to watch.
PSG and Bayern are really difficult now to predict because their chances are actually still the same.
But one thing that didn't really apply to me in this draw is because Liverpool will face Madrid and I didn't expect it to happen so quickly because with Liverpool's current condition I would have wanted them to play a lighter club but Madrid was definitely not the opponent I was expecting.

Paris Saint Germain always has an experienced squad in the Champions League every season, last season for example they also had a squad that was not much different from now with many experienced players. But does it help? Honestly I have to say it didn't help.
Galtier must be aware of things like this if he is to speak more in the Champions League this season. And I think it doesn't have to be with what they show on the pitch when they play, before the game there has to be more motivation for the players to do their best. And also the role of players on the field will greatly affect their game.
I take for example when Real Madrid equalized in the last minute of the game, where Kroos played that role who gave Rudiger the confidence to go forward and receive the pass that he gave, the result was a goal for Real Madrid. Things like this become important in the game when in a state of urgency.

Garnacho is under the watchful eye of the right coach, as Ten Hag is a firm coach on the attitude of the players, and that will make this player quickly realize what he did wrong. Ten Hag can impose severe sanctions on Cristiano Ronaldo and it shows that he will not be indifferent when his team has a mistake so he will give sanctions too. Moreover, the players who were banned were the players he idolized, it would be a very valuable lesson for Garnacho in the future. Young players are inseparable with unstable emotions and that will affect his attitude. I believe that he will be even better, once he realizes what he has done wrong.

AS Roma and Lazio can be said to be on the same level, but Lazio are better at making impressive attacks than AS Roma. The match was quite tight and both teams were equally able to withstand attacks from each of them. It's just that AS Roma's mistake made Lazio able to create a single goal to lock the victory until the last minute of the match. Jose Mourinho has his own philosophy in his strategy, but for now it seems that it has not worked out to create the team of dreams. I agree that Mourinho should be able to update his strategy because I think he is capable of doing that because I see he is one of the coaches with a surprising strategy.

And in the end they had to lose 3-1 at the end of the game. Losing a main player does affect them, moreover they are still struggling to create a team that can really be trusted in every game. They got 1 goal in this game and it was an own goal from Aston Villa's player. Manchester United are better, but their bad habits from last season are still with them even with their new coach. I can't think of what could actually be the motivation for this team, because they are always changing in every game, they can play well against strong teams, but they can also play badly against weak teams. This is completely beyond logic.

I am very happy when Liverpool can win again this week and I am happy when I see Mohamed Salah score again even it is 2 goals that he created and sealed a 1-2 win over hosts Tottenham. Jurgen Klopp's men managed to play well in this match and could end their 2 defeats. I think Liverpool and Manchester United are in a similar situation now. Yes, if we compare them, we will find one similarity in their match results against strong teams and weak teams. I don't want to see Liverpool following in the footsteps of Manchester United.

It was an emotional game for Pique in this game and when he played until 86 minutes he was so concentrated on keeping his defense one last time.
One by one the Barcelona legends went to be replaced with younger players. But indeed he left as a Legend no matter what even though the last few seasons did not go well for Pique especially with his internal problems with the club's Management but he really poured his heart out to Barcelona until the end of his retirement.

We're still waiting until tomorrow to see the draw for the last 16 and I'm waiting for Liverpool in this regard because it will also be a bit tough for them considering that the chances of a big match for them are huge.
The reason is because apart from definitely not going to play Napoli they also won't be facing Tottenham, Manchester City and Chelsea so the rest means they have the potential to face strong opponents as there are still Madrid and Bayern they might have to avoid.

I was one of the many who didn't expect this for Liverpool.
They are really very bad and this is the worst for the last few seasons for them.

I'm expecting something real now even if it's a little difficult. at this time the long holiday break must be put to good use and of course it is possible to bring in some players for transfers later.
