I'm really hoping for an outcome that will favour Liverpool which I'm yet to figure out how well that can be, although I'm not a Liverpool fan but I just like it when I saw them at the top of the table and I really did wished for them to win the premier league because they just got my fancy by their performance and nothing much, their performance aswell is such that should be able to give them the premier league too.

Arsenal winning Manchester city will actually turn out against Liverpool so bad but if Manchester city gets to win, it will greatly favour Liverpool and give them another opportunity to getting a chance to get back to the top of the table as Liverpool will be just two points away from the top of the table because Manchester city will now be having 66 points and if Liverpool wins their own match that same time they will now be back to the top of the table with a point away from Manchester city, so will a draw aslo favour Liverpool but will still keep Manchester city at the third position.

Indeed the game between Manchester city and Arsenal is really going to be a determinant to what the next position of either of these three teams would be but then Liverpool is the team who will be affected the most either positively or negatively by the outcome of the game, they still have an opportunity to actually correct the narrative just should Incase the outcome isn't in their favour but it will mean them doing more work than the usual.

At this stage I don't think there's actually much difficulties been faced by these elite teams at this stage because these teams are not weak and are yet to get to the point they face themselves making it a tough game because there's usually a power tussle amongst them whenever the gat to meet each other at any point in the league especially such as the champions league or their domestic leagues.

It's common in the domestic leagues because that's where most of these players are really eager to get the trophy because their domestic league too aswell also help them make some money so they don't stay nonchalant enough about it and it's a good one, Real . Madrid is at this point an elite team looking at simultaneously too. Real Madrid looks like they got a very good strategy to perfectly acceptable the both trophies because they have got a good tems they could help them achieve that which they want to achieve almost at anytime.

Real Madrid is my favourite for this game and that's just because I want them to win the champions league together just like Manchester city did last season ,I want to have e Real Madrid replicate if back in their domestic League too and the champions league, so far Madrid is up with a good reputation let's hope they were able to win this season

The best teams from various leagues across Europe are usually conveyed to participate in the champions league and that's why I do say thst no team in the champions league is a small team because they have all at some point been champions in their various leagues and that's why they qualified to participate in the champions league so for that alone they ain't small team except for that some of them don't have big names.

Teams like PSV who literal topped their league with over 12 points and still counting and still didn't find it challenging to get pass the group stage but couldn't make it pass the round of sixteen, they are a relatively big name because in their domestic league they are a champion and chances are they will still be in the champions league again by next season so they are a big team aswell and that's how I do rate some of these champions league teams except that some of them are more experienced than the other and uses that as an advantage over others.

Bayern Munich isn't a weak team and by all standard are supposed to make this game very tough for Arsenal even if they are playing from home and if para venture Arsenal wins then it could be said that they were the best team and deserved it but otherwise then the best team should proceed to the next stage of the league and hope too be the champions or probably finish at one amongst the first to third position.

Mabappe is a very good and skillful player no doubts and I give that to him in the fact that he's been very instrumental int the growth of PSG too but then this comparison seem not to be seating well with me because these two players are playing in two different capacities and in different league and has aswell done tremendously well for their teams until they were both faced with some form of challenges.

If you look at both players they both seem to have some characteristics similarities with their experiences in the team where they both play and even in their various national teams aswell, Napoli in a long time has not experiencing a trophy but the arrival of osimhen changed the narrative, since the arrival of mbappe it's been glory glory for PSGso both player's have been impactful and very helpful aswell to both team and as such shouldn't be compared as one been better than the other, if ansy team has got preference for why they choose one over the other it's just their preference.

Both players in their capacity are really good and if placed in environment much better than that which they have now I think they will both do much more then they have already in their present team, osimhen is very smart and intelligent like mbappe too because it takes such quality to achieve that which he was able to achieve through his stay in his team and same also applies to mbappe .

The gunners are know to putting in that extra effort when they are playing from home because they cannot risk facing the embarrassment of loosing at home so they make sure they are getting a draw or they win their visitors but then in this case it's the champions league and then both teams aren't such that could be seen that either of them is weak but have got good abilities especially with their performance so far.

If Arsenal looses in this match it will be the end of the race for them in the champions league and it will be that it's over five times Arsenal had qualified for the champions league and has been unable to get to the finals , I'm just hoping arteta will be able to device a tactics to help them change the narrative they have had over a long period of time. Bayern Munich hasn't really been too good with champions league aswell, they have only in a few times gotten to the  finals too so both team are fairly equal going by the records so far.

Personally I wouldn't be supporting either of both teams in this game because they both have good team depth and even a good performance in the champions league so far but Arsenal has actually had to struggle especially passing the most recent stage so it's making me feel Barcelona could be the winner except for the home advantage Arsenal has got which they may want to use against Barcelona.

I'm sure even Arsenal is very much aware of the fact that to continually maintain the position at the top  they must maintain a winning streak but then I doubt if Arsenal will be able to keep up with that starting from their next encounter with Manchester city of which if they loose that match their psychology will be greatly affected and their results from subsequent games will get affected aswell.

Arsenal may not be able to win all the reaming game before the league ends as they have got over ten more games ahead before the end of the league, the premier league will soon be on an  international break, let's hope they will be able to fix back their form and come back again to maintain the position at the top till the end of the season but then I don't trust Arsenal well enough and I still doubt their ability to winning the premier league rather I trust Liverpool or Manchester city even if they are both few points away from the top they can make up for it.

Liverpool is my favorite to win the trophy, and I want to believe that they will get ahead of Arsenal by points because Arsenal is ahead by gos after their previous wins with big margins against mediocre teams, it seem like Arsenal seized the opportunity and now it's more like it's paying off for them as it's the reason they are at the top of the table at the moment. Manchester city will hopefully try to get some point from Arsenal.

I wouldn't want to say that Liverpool has got a very easy fixture rather I will be of the opinion that Liverpool stands a better chance of winning than their opponent because they have got a bet form and team depth than their opponent, this is because football can come with so many uncertainties and teams you taught would win can later disappoint and you will be very surprised to see a form of poor performance that will baffle you.

Keeping an open mind to results of games like this is usually the best reason been that it's a very competitive game and they have gotten to that stage where they have to be careful because every mistake will means exiting the league so it will be better we just see a team as our favourite like Liverpool would be in this game and then allow them do their best and give the kind of results expected of them by the end of the game, other teams tho have what looks like a quiet tough fixture but knowing what's at stake they will all try their best to get to the next stage of the league.

At this point it's very likely Liverpool will be seen at the finals and it will be between Leverkusen and  AC Milan to get to meet Liverpool at the finals and see who will be crowned the Europa champions this season between Liverpool and any of Leverkusen of Milan who gets to the finals but most likely it will be Leverkusen as anticipated by Many and it will be very interesting if both teams meet at the finals.

Leverkusen staged the most interesting comeback seen in the Europa this season because at some point I was almost at the point of think they are already on their way to experiencing their first loss ever this season but then they took me by surprise with their comeback, it was very obvious they made good use of the res card quaraberg got in the second half and that was their advantage well utilized.

Leverkusen is still scaling greater heights this season and the win has further get them to be sure of the next rounds of the Europa league game this season, Leverkusen by every game keep giving us the mindset that they are capable of winning the Europa this season, they are trying to look like the real Madrid of the Europa and the Manchester city of the Europa, these two are teams that until the final whistle don't write them off just yet because they can still be magical just in the final minutes of the game just as Leverkusen git three goals within the 60th to the last minute.

Quaraberg actually did tried their best but I think it wasn't good enough to get them to the position they would have wanted to be because they had a even tough team than they were so they actually couldn't even with their two goals advantage ahead, they didn't have the right strategy to keep their defense strong enough from conceding goals that will cause them not to win this game but they tried.

I agree with you talking about the strength and capacity of all the teams that got to qualify for the quarter finals of the champions league, a critical examination into their performance and you will agree that they all didn't have it easy as they all played a some worth rough game to get through to this stage, although they dis scaled through but it was actually their hard work and resilience.

Some of them like Arsenal did faces a team that was presumed before now not to be such that will caused them much problem but after the first leg they understood that in the champions league there's actually no big or small team as any team can actually get to our preform any team at the slightest opportunity given them so underestimating any team in the champions league will only be to your own detriment, port almost caused Arsenal the champions league but they buckled up so did Barcelona and Napoli after the first leg Barcelona became better.

The next stage of the champions league is actually going to be really interesting because all the team in this current stage are so determined to win the champions league, except for Real Madrid who's still got their domestic league to fall back at if they loose the champions league, most of the teams at this stage has got only the champions league as their hope for a trophy especially Barcelona and Dortmund.

The fact that all the teams at the top four currently are in very good form and are closely chasing each other so no one seem to be enjoying monopoly of the top watching others while they race to maintain the second position, this is the beauty of the league that makes it interesting and drags attention because most persons seem to be in suspense as they can really predict for sure who's going to win the league.

Like you rightly stated, at the end of the day one of them all is definitely going to win and the rest will have next season to try again hopefully they will be lucky it be their own season to win. Manchester city had it last season and are already looking like they are again going to get it this season after getting it las season but then the strive for that trophy is very tough and we can't say for sure if Manchester city will be able to make history repeats itself again but then their performance aswell as that of the gunners and Liverpool have almost been equal.

The next fixtures this weekend will have a great deal in determining who's going to have an edge over the others after now and for me Liverpool seem to have the most advantage because they aren't going to play a tough game like Manchester city and Arsenal who will be contending their selves, Liverpool could easily win their opponent and get back to the top of the table again meanwhile Arsenal drawing against Manchester city will means they will bother get back behind Liverpool again.

Even if Barcelona should anticipate winning a trophy this is is such season where they will be able to get that dream come true because the competition in this seasons champions league is such that their current form wouldn't allow them to be able to win but then they can actually go far with the game, they could aswell focus on building their team rather than trying to win a trophy at this time when they can't.

If Barcelona is able to build that kind of team they desired they could actually dare to win next champions league but then not been able to win the current champions league because if they would have I think defeating one of the top teams in the champions league which happens to be a team in their domestic league would have been the first point of call for them but it's more like they are not going to win the champions league because twice they met Real Madrid and was unable to win them, if they happen to meet again, chances are they will still loose.

If they loose to Madrid again in the champions league it will means them crashing out of the champions league this season, so it's most likely Barcelona will not be able to win the champions league but they can be able to qualify for the next champions league and than there they could get a chance if only they are prepared enough as they aught have but otherwise they may just repeating this season again.

Just like we all do our personal speculations about the possible results and outcome of any game, so does the bookies aswell so we shouldn't always see their judgement as final as they use their preference to pick their favourite and sometimes it turns out otherwise and sometimes you See that  teams given big odds still wins even with their gig odds showing you that the odds isn't the final determinant.

In this game, they act that they are both top teams should be enough reason why we shouldn't be bias with our judgement especially making it dependent on the odds placed on the teams by the bookies. This kind of judgement on games especially with games like this were both teams seem to have almost equal strength,it may turn out we because disappointed when the results is out because it may turn out what we never anticipated, it's usually best not to gamble on games as this if you are not sure of the options that could work well .

Manchester city is definitely not going to give Arsenal chance just like they did with Liverpool and they are more attacking minded than Arsenal is, they don't stay too much at the defense line rather they do all the attacking and make sure bto penetrate at every slightest chance give and get a goal Arsenal aswell may get a goal from this match but I doubt if the total goals in this game will be Up to four.

Not only is the management of Leverkusen happy with Xabi but I'm very sure they are aswell impressed and pleased by the performance and the productivity of the team ever since he took over as the head coach managing the team since this season, it has been really Wonderful in the performance of the team and the way they have so far achieved some kind of results I doubt they have ever achieved.

Even across the German bundesliga, Leverkusen has become the team others envy and probably look up to as per their results they have gotten recently and how productive they have been this season. In as much as this has been a good and great impact on the team it has aswell been a great platform to promote and show case is abilities which has literally brought his own career to lime light and it's now a win win for both the team and Xabi him self because they are both benefiting from the performance of the team and the results gotten so far.

Xabi has gotten a lot of offer from other teams resulting from his performance with Leverkusen so far and this means everything to him because he can now be see and ranked amongst to Coaches across Europe and at some point in the world so its been a great achievement for him aswell as after now he will be getting even more suitable offer which is definitely a boost for his career.

Arsenal has actually qualified after beating Porto in a penalty shoot out after a game that got them playing up until extra time where they had to go in to penalty shoot out because by average it was a draw game although by the match score Arsenal was winning by a goal which made it felt like they were going to still get another or possibly Porto would rather get a goal and the game would have ended in their favour.

If Porto were able to get a goal by the end of the actual match time making it a 1-1 game, it would have been that the game would have ended in the favour of Porto by virtue of aggregate score because Porto will be a goal ahead and which would mean automatic qualifications to the next stage of the league but Arsenal would have finally crashed out but then the gunners were too determined to just crash out of the champions league just like that, they aswell did performed brilliantly and their opponent was actually very resistive but they found a way around it.

If only Arsenal had allowed Porto to get a goal making it an equalizer, they would definitely not be in the champions league again, I must commend Porto aswell because they performance was actually a really good one to be reckoned with but it wasn't good enough to give them the kind of results they desired to have gotten from the game so they will probably get to use this for the purpose of experience.

Sparta Prague isn't a team thst can at all be a contender strong enough against AC Milan so for me I see AC Milan getting a free ticket to the next stage of the Europa league game and Sparta Prague a bonus team to help them get through to the next stage of the league, let's not forget that AC Milan was actually a champions league tens and they crashed out by a very slight difference.

Sparta Prague isn't like a team that can ever be the reason AC Milan will crash out of the Europa not afraid their form that they have got as displayed in the champions league, although Sparta Pragua been able to get pass the group stage in the Europa is actually worth commendable but then then got to meet a team that's much more than they can handle and at such they will just have to hope to do better in some other times probably if they get to make it to the Europa again by next season or other season. Prague isn't a tough enough team though.

AC Milan is actually very tough than Prague a d so in this match just like expected they are already winning by three goals already and it's only the first half of the game which is that they are very likely to probably win by the end of the game and they are most definitely going to make it to the second stage of the Europa this season but I doubt their ability in getting to the finals and challenging other top teams.

It's true that pSG has got the funds and the ability to be able to get any caliber of player they want but then it has not always been a good experience getting most of this players all at once as it's been counter productive because these players are most times not team oriented rather they are mostly playing personal football so they can get to boost the records for their careers and in some cases this attitude becomes detrimental to the team.

PSG should rather focus more on developing young talents they have got especially as their star player will be leaving the team, it's going to affect them for awhile but they can use the period to build up the team and get to fix the team to be positioned for any kind of games they would want to play age this time, normally PSG has not had problem dominating the Ligue 1 but I think by next season that may at some point but if they allow the team to suffer a season while they use that season for build up knowing they are going to be better thereafter it will means a whole lot for them.

Looking at the big picture which is champions league, one of PSGs biggest dream, they have now as that opportunity to start to prepare to achieve that dream, it could be gotten next season or the one after , lol depends on their strategy and weight of planning , building up from now will give enough room to have attained desired form by then and no team will appear so much as a challenge to them.

I still don't trust the supposed improvement I'm seeing with Barcelona, although they have in recent times try to be consistent with this new form of improvement that's been seen around their performance but then it's not looking like one that can get them to winning the la Liga again this season because Real Madrid is already far ahead on the league table which will means a serious work for Barcelona.

Even currently, Barcelona isn't at the second position on the table so it's no where close to saying they may be able to secure a chance at been able to get back to the top and they have less than fifteen weeks to the end of the league which is not much time enough for them to be able to fix the team and get back to the top so it's most definitely Madrid that will end up with the la Liga title this season. Barcelona may seem to have improved which actually isn't a bad one and they can go ahead to still make sure they maintain it and definitely get to qualify for UCL again.

Girona is very much displaceable by Barcelona if they are able to maintain their current form and get some more winning streaks they will be able to conviniently displace Girona a d climb back to the second position on the table as be firm in their stance to securing a champions league spot for next season. Realm Madrid is aswell not in a perfectly safe zone so they should maintain their point difference els they may be taken by surprise.

Napoli's set back this season is at this point seemingly taking a toll on them because they are no longer performing as much bas they once did at the beginning of the season and fro me it's a problem enough to be bothered about especially for a team who was the champions last season as also has happened to be the top team in the serie A earlier at the beginning of the season and we taught they would defend the trophy.

I had taught that at this point Napoli would have been getting a very good progressive improvement which could been some form of hopes around them in the fact that they can still get something out of this season even if It will means just qualifying for the next champions league because they are not looking like they are even going to get a  chance even at the Europa but nevertheless I will still give them benefits of doubts, Napoli even in the champions league had a poor performance which has caused them their champions league journey as they have crashed out.

Roma ha gotten thst progressive improvement that Napoli failed to have and so looking much better than Napoli is definitely expected of them and they have actually been performing well except when they meet some bigger team they will see to have some kind of. Challenge winning them but then in the end their efforts are always been seen that they actually did tried their best well enough and could win if they improve next time.

Your point is just the exact truth of the case with Bayern Leverkusen. Consistency has been a very key factor that has helped them gone a really long way, as they wouldn't have been able to have come this far if they have not been consistent enough with their performance, even Across Europe they have maintained an uncommon consistency this season and it's been really helping them in their position.

If something happens once it can be seen as lucky but when same thing has been maintained over a period of time and its still happening almost bin exact same way then it can be seen as consistency and the results of hard work so it will actually be unfair to say Bayern Leverkusen is just lucky because keeping that asides, you will agree with me that even while on the field of play, these boys give and put in their very best, they play a very nice and interesting game such that you don't get to be bored by their performance so it's basically their hard work paying off for me.

It's earlier at the beginning of the season that I could have seen them as been lucky but now I think they have gown pass the stage of just been lucky to been productive, they are not showing this kind of performance only in their domestic League but it's been same across Europe so I think it's enough to say they are productive and their hard work, diligence and consistency is actually paying off at this point.

Watching inter Milan and Atletico playing is actually an interesting game, they ended the first half in a draw aggregating to a 1-2 for inter Milan, I'd it happens that this game ends with the present score of 1-2 then inter Milan will definitely qualify while Atletico will be exiting the champions league at this stage this season, but if it happens that Atletico gets to score another goal then it will be thst they will surely have to play a penalty shoot because the aggregate will be 2-2.

Inter Milan has got great performance in tonight game and Atletico aswell has got great resilience in their performance, they have shown how much they can perform so well in this match and may be able to win if given the chance , although inter Milan was the first to score a goal , it wasn't long there after Atletico aswell got a goal too and since then we are yet to record another goal, late see how it's going to end by the second half. Both team to me are performing very well and have got almost equal chan except for the fact that inter Milan has got an advantage already.

Inter Milan if they are able to get pass this stage, they may be aiming for the finals again like they did last season in as much as it's achievable, they aswell have to try to perform much more than their regular performance in their domestic league as that's the way which they can be sure to be able to get to the next stage of the league an finally a chance to the finals but they still don't look like they have posted the ability to win the champions league.
