Chelsea's condition is getting more difficult after there are problems everywhere.
From last season their officials left and of course this will affect their performance, Tuchel's performance has not improved because indeed the change of officials can obviously be a bottleneck especially after some policies about releasing a lot of their players.
Now Potter is also busy with the condition of the players as Chelsea are still unstable but have had to leave some of their core players due to injuries which will make it difficult for them towards the second half of the season.

Milan vs Spezia ended for Milan's victory with a narrow score of 2-1. It was a pretty good result actually for Milan but I have some regrets about Goal and Giroud's over-celebration after scoring a goal and had to be sent off for getting his second yellow card in this match.
With this result Milan succeeded in shifting Atalanta in second position after Atalanta lost to Napoli which indeed makes Napoli now quite comfortable with their 6-point difference for a while.

I'm still not too sure about that, especially in the last 16 there is a possibility that they will face a Big Match considering that they have to be in second place in the group phase so it is very likely that they will do the same Big Match in this phase as last season.
In terms of players in the squad they are still very decent but of course this is not only a matter of players but the coach's scheme is also taken into account and you could say Galtier is a debutant for the Champions League so this could be something that is indeed the same as last season.

The match has started and now it is nearing the end of the first half but the score still hasn't changed because no one has scored yet in this match.
I quite appreciate Almeria's defense in this match because it seems they only focus on defense considering that so far the first half went only one chance they created through counter-attacks, the rest Barcelona continued to dominate.
It's not impossible if things like this continue then they will definitely concede goals because to continue to be disciplined with continuous attacks like this, of course is difficult.

Barcelona do not get into trouble when they face a team that is quality below them. So far only Real Madrid are able to beat them when they meet in El Clasico matches. And only tasted one draw at the start of the season. Their current condition will be more motivated because they have failed in the Champions League with a statistical record that is not good. They still have a chance to compete with Real Madrid in the standings with a difference of only 1 point. Xavi is under pressure now because if he can't bring success there are rumors that his future with Barcelona is not good.

Actually I wish Liverpool would be able to perform more to win the title, but I realize it will not be easy for them to do that considering they are not convincing now. Yes, this is a tough season for them when they fail to show their best since the start of the season. But with the long holiday coming up I hope they can make the best use of their time to boost their performance in this Champions League. I am waiting for their next opponent in the round of 16 to prepare everything for the match later.


Napoli have been in the limelight since they improved rapidly this season. Many believe that they will be able to compete with big teams who have become customers in a crucial position to get the title. Real Madrid has always been the favorite team in the Champions League with all the achievements they have made during the Champions League. Bayern Munich as well as they are a team that is never absent and is always a favorite team like Real Madrid. I think the results of the draw will determine which team will advance to the next round.

Yes, losing several players due to injury is the real reason that a coach does not have to say, let alone a coach who handles a big club like Juventus. If that is still the reason then the question arises what work has he done at Juventus to date? Juventus have big names and names of quality players, of course, but until now Allegri has not been able to restore their slowly eroding morale. He can't always rely on the players he likes, as a coach he should understand his team very well. Because he chose those players to create a balance for the club.

That's what is expected of Chelsea now, playing at home should be more motivation for them to break the positive streak from Arsenal. Some changes made by Chelsea did make them a little trustworthy in this match. Graham Potter will definitely want to point out that now Chelsea are different from what they showed at the start of the season. The thing that must be wary of Arsenal by Chelsea is the speed of the Arsenal players which has been their main strength this season. Their advantages on the left and right have always been a line that Arteta has always used to break down the opponent's defense. Chelsea must be able to reduce them if they do not want to be humiliated at home.

If you look at the statistics of these two clubs, there is no serious difference. The difference in their points is not too far away with only a difference of 3 points. Leichester actually has a better goal-scoring ability than Everton, but their conceding rate is also very high which makes them have to accept negative results many times. Meanwhile, Everton are still struggling in terms of scoring goals, but their defense can make up for what they lack. The strengths and weaknesses of each club are balanced against each other, which might make the match interesting.

After finishing the group stage which was peppered with a few surprises, we have got a team that deserves to qualify for the next round in the last 16.

I can't wait for the draw in the round of 16, which will definitely bring together the big teams. I hope the favorite teams will not meet first in this round because I would like to see them meet in a more conical round. There are several dark horse teams that have the potential to be difficult, it would be even more interesting if they went further beyond this round of 16. I hope it will actually happen and we will see the favorite team being beaten by the current dark horse team.

I will compare it with last season where Real Madrid could beat big teams from other leagues in the Champions League. Paris Saint Germaint, Chelsea, Manchester City and finally Liverpool in the final, all of those teams they have beaten and won the Champions League last season. It shows that they are a strong team. their squad hasn't changed much and there have only been a few additions in a few positions. Their chemistry has always been well established and managed to create a solid team.
And if you say that Real Madrid can only win against weak teams I don't agree with that, the fact is that they are always winners against strong teams in the Champions League and La Liga.

Both are big match but apart from that for Arsenal I expect a lot from Liverpool in this game I'm a little bit frustrated by their performance this season and it's not very good for me so winning the game should be a must for them.
Arsenal even being my guest club doesn't really matter because obviously they are completely different this season especially for 2.65 Odds clearly in my opinion.
As for Liverpool as one of their fans I certainly have high hopes with them now because if they don't get points then I don't know what else to put forward in their defense because for sure this is ready for criticism and even echoing quotes will definitely return as before .

Age doesn't lie to him in this regard and there have been some problems internally and at Pique himself that have seen his form this season drop quite dramatically. But that doesn't really cover the fact that he was one of the legendary players for Barcelona in the golden era a few seasons ago and this was a decision that was actually quite right because he was already struggling to compete and didn't want to change clubs so retiring was my decision. which I respect enough here.

It could be both because it's clear from Sevilla's current performance that they don't have anything that can impact the game let alone seeing their opponent is City which although some of them are rotational players but when it comes to Manchester City they are always strong both in line up core or rotation.
It's not too surprising that this happened in my opinion and Sevilla should be thrown into the Europa League.


Now it's possible to see who will be able to talk a lot later because the match has started to be quite exciting considering that there are only a few big teams left and of course the more they advance to the next round, the tougher the opponents will be, Manchester City can't be careless like last season. then if they want to talk a lot in the Champions League.

It's not surprising when Manchester City shows such an impressive performance especially the opponent they face is Sevilla, who is in a slump this season. Manchester City are unbeaten in the group stages with 3 wins and 2 draws. They are one of the favorites to win this season along with other teams, such as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and others. In fact they have always been favorites in recent years, and last season was at their peak they were the biggest favorites but had to lose when they met the reigning champions, Real Madrid. And this year they have shown again that they are serious in their pursuit of the title by bringing in quality new players.

Their achievement in the Champions League is indeed a shame, because compared to others I see Atletico Madrid as better than any other team, but the fact is that they are the worst team in the group at the bottom of the table. This is reinforced by what they achieved in La Liga by losing against the relegation zone team, Cadiz. That adds to the disbelief in them now even though they are now in 3rd position in the standings. But it seems that now the standings do not show that they are really strong in the game. Diego Simeone is the man responsible for what Atletico Madrid won in the Champions League.

Yes, their statistics say so, I agree more if they say Mamnchester united's defense is better than last season, it makes more sense in my opinion. We can't judge from just one game but have to look at the whole game and how they conceded goals.
Harry Maguiere, we haven't seen him in a long time and he's back in the last Manchehster United game. I think there is an improvement from what Harry Maguire displayed in that match, yes although there are still some mistakes.
Oh man, you are so good at being sarcastic about Harry Maguire. Lol

Maybe they just see Manchester United playing and don't see what other teams like Arsenal, Manchester City or Tottenham have shown that clearly have a better performance than Manchester United. Even though Manchester United can beat Arsenal, for example, but that doesn't mean we're only going to say Manchester United is better than Arsenal because we're accumulating all of their matches, not judging from just one game.

Don't forget Atalanta's current host status, because whether you like it or not, that status can affect the course of the match or even the result of the match. If we compare the two teams then I think everyone will agree that Napoli are the more superior team than Atalanta. But sometimes we have to look at other factors of the game, like for example the status of the hosts I have said before. Even if both teams play very well, I prefer that a draw will be fair for both teams. But that's not the target they want to achieve in this match, the effectiveness of the game will be the deciding factor in this match.

Juventus are in the same situation that they are struggling to maintain their form. Simone Inzaghi and Massimiliano Allegri will compete tactically and will compete as to who is more ready now between them. From their statistics in Serie A this season, it's actually not much different, it's just that Inter Milan has won more and if you look at defeats then Juventus is better, it's just that Juventus get more draws. They are 2 points adrift in the standings at 6th and 7th positions.
I think most likely the game will end in sharing the points.

I don't really agree with saying Manchester United is one of the best defensively because looking at them now they are actually weak in their defence.
Seeing how many goals they have conceded is definitely proof because they have even conceded 16 goals from 12 matches and if you look at the goal ratio it is still better Brighton, West ham and even Newcastle United so there is no clear reason why you say they are good enough on the defensive line.

Not playing too well in some games during this season will definitely happen but to approach Barcelona and Madrid I'm still a little pessimistic for other clubs because obviously they also must have had not very good games too especially considering the current conditions.
I personally still feel these 2 clubs will continue to compete and maybe until the end like that. As for other clubs, it's still possible to fight for positions 3 and 4 but for 1 and 2 it's clearly difficult.

I probably didn't see that, Even though I saw from the matches that Rayo ran with wins against Sevilla and Cadiz it was quite good but looking at these two teams it was clear they were a club in pain for this season and the comparison is quite far with Madrid especially at this time Benzema too ready to fight again.

It's all over now and there are some clubs that I think can be dark horses like Benfica who won the club here and of course this is a good result because they beat PSG in the group stage and PSG have to settle for second place despite their points the same and the number of goals is also the same but PSG must lose to the number of away goals scored where Benfica managed to score six goals against Maccabi Haifa, one goal at PSG and two goals at Juventus while PSG only scored three goals at Maccabi Haifa, one goal at Benfica , and two goals at Juventus


Contrasting differences exist in the current La Liga representatives. They really lost after previously always being able to place 2 or 3 representatives of theirs in the last 16 but now only Madrid are left.
The progress is now happening for the Bundesliga and Serie A because judging from the existing list they only lost one club in the group phase this time.
