It seems like the track is not interesting for social media fans[1]. Most of them express regret that more street/hybrid races are added to the calendar as opposed to adding permanent races, with the latest rumor suggesting that Suzuka might be replaced with another street race[2]. Some analysts suggest that moving to Madrid is one of the better alternatives considering most races in Catalunya are quite boring, although they also stated that some negatives come from this such as reducing the opportunity for rookies to race in real-time, increasing the gap between racers, fans and the organizer, etc[3]. The current images around the track circulating online certainly don't help to reduce the complaints[4].

Are any F1 lovers here? I don't follow this sport closely but I'd be surprised if they really replace Suzuka or other iconic tracks with street races.

However, now Ancelotti has officially extended his contract with Real Madrid, so how much money will they spend to redeem him from Real Madrid? Real Madrid themselves certainly don't want to quickly lose their coach, because now Ancelotti is carrying out a process, and that process is for the future of Real Madrid.
Real Madrid is usually a firm club, they definitely want to keep Ancelotti until his contract expires, unless in the middle of the journey Ancelotti seems to have failed, so there is a possibility that Real Madrid will fire him. But so far what he is doing with Real Madrid looks quite good and there are no problems, so it is possible to let him see out his contract.

To be fair, they are not a team that has been great for many years, last year was a good year, and this year they looked good for a while before starting to be bad, and that's about it, a year before last year was a terrible start and they got better eventually but they still didn't end up being all that great.

So all in all, for a team that has been decent only for a while, we can't really say that they are the leaders in the candidate for the title winner. I think they are the third best team so they should finish third in the league, I would put them there, and that makes sense, but I wouldn't put them beyond Liverpool and city, those two teams has dominated the last ten years, and they will end up being better than everyone else.

Bu maç kaçmaz hem Bayern Münih’in psikolojik olarak rahatlaması hem de Leverkusen’in bu sezonki ilk yenilgisini alma ihtimali olduğundan ayrı bir öneme sahip. Bayern Münih’in sürekli olarak lider olmasının aksini yaşadığımız bir sezon oluyor ve gerçekten Leverkusen farklı bir hikaye yazıyor. Xabi Alonso şimdiden büyük takımların radarına girdi ve bu sezona böyle başarılı devam edip de şampiyon olursa çok büyük bir iş başarmış olacak.

Bundesliga’nın fazla takip edilmemesinin başında şampiyonlar liginde başarılı olamamaları var. Sadece Bayern Münih var ve o da bir yere kadar gidebiliyor. Bu durumun değişeceğini düşünmüyorum ama ligin bazı senelerinde ortaya çıkabilecek bu tarz hikayeleri takip etmek ilgimi çekiyor. Bu hikayenin yazarı Leverkusen şu ana kadar mağlubiyet almadan ilerliyor ve her maç daha da ilgi çekici bir hal alıyor maçları.

I believe that Benfica will do better in a second round of the championship. Despite the problems they had at the beginning, they are now more stable and will probably start to have better results without major difficulties.

I think Porto is still very unstable, and Sporting continues to play very well, if they don't lose key players they will continue to do well.

Consistency is the key if they want to dream about the championship. But maybe it's better that they had the dip in the form earlier in the season this year. Maybe the 5-0 win will be the turning point. The next 2 weeks will tell a lot. They'll be playing away game against a weak Nottingham Forrest and then playing against Liverpool at home on 4th Feb. If they manage to win both matches, that'd mean they're back in the game and should be treated seriously.
