In the 2023 24 season, the top five leagues in Europe, the current La Liga fierce battle to the first Premier League, Serie A and Ligue 1 came to the 14th round, and the Bundesliga came to the 13th round. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Milan, Juventus, Roma, Paris Saint-Germain and other giants all won in this round.
La Liga standings
In this round, Real Madrid defeated Granada at home, and Girona reversed Valencia at home, with the two sides accumulating 28 points, and Real Madrid topped the table with a superior record. Real Madrid has been suffering from injuries recently, but fortunately, they have locked the top spot in the group in the Champions League, and they can rotate many players against Union Berlin away from home, so it is not a big problem to survive 2023. Girona are undergoing a tough test, with the Copa del Rey schedule in midweek and no less pressure than Real Madrid in the near future, so the schedule needs to be considered comprehensively.
Barcelona and Atletico Madrid had a strong meeting in this round, and with Felix's goal, Barcelona won 1-0 at home and returned to the top three in La Liga. Atletico slipped to fourth after losing away and are currently three points ahead of Bilbao with one game in hand, and are relatively secure in the top four. Real Madrid Sociedad qualified from the Champions League group and had a decent league recordSevilla, on the other hand, had a mediocre performance in the Champions League and the league, and did not play in the Europa League if they did not pay attention to it.
Premier League standings
The Premier League fixtures are well underway, with all 20 teams completing the first 14 rounds. In this round, Arsenal narrowly beat Wolves at home, stabilized the leader, and extended the lead to 2 points, and then continued to increase the strength of the away team. Liverpool's narrow home win over Fulham followed in Arsenal's footsteps, followed by back-to-back road trips. Manchester City was slightly tired and was drawn by Tottenham, opening up a three-point gap with Arsenal and being overtaken by Liverpool.
The Premier League triumvirate is in full swing, Aston Villa seems to want a piece of the pie, and the next consecutive home games against Manchester City and Arsenal are the best litmus tests. Tottenham took one point away at Manchester City, but the gap on Arsenal widened to six. Manchester United lost to Newcastle in this round, and the ranking was overtaken by their opponents, temporarily slipping to seventh. Chelsea have had some success against Brighton, at least in direct conversations, moving up to 10th.
Serie A standings
Inter Milan beat Napoli away to top the Serie A table, beating Juventus. However, Inter Milan have been under pressure recently, with the Champions League and Real Sociedad competing for top spot in the group, as well as the Coppa Italia schedule, with five games to play before Christmas. Juventus have been under much less pressure recently, with no European fixtures and the Coppa Italia schedule rescheduled for January '24. Juve's schedule is indeed favourable, and if you take the chance, you will be expected to reach the top.
AC Milan secured the top three with a home win over Frosinone in this round and currently have a five-point advantage. However, Milan will have a hard time in the Champions League and have little hope of reaching the knockout rounds. Roma finished in the top four, beating Sassono away in this round to overtake Napoli in the rankings, but the Europa League was slightly passive. Napoli failed to qualify for the Champions League in advance, and in Serie A, Inter Milan and Juventus, the recent schedule is very stressful.
Ligue 1 standings
Paris Saint-Germain beat Le Havre away in this round to win seven consecutive league games, four points ahead of second place, and sit at the top of the Ligue 1 table. However, Paris suffered a huge setback in the Champions League, drawing one and losing one of the two legs against Newcastle, failing to qualify from the group ahead of schedule, and must win against Borussia Dortmund in the final round to ensure promotion.
Nice lost away in this round, so they were thrown away by Paris by 4 points, and the pattern of Ligue 1 returned to the state of Parisian dominance. Monaco won at home in this round, six points behind leaders Paris. Marseille beat Rennes at home in this round and are currently only ninth. Lyon were beaten away by Lens and are still bottom of the table with seven points.
Bundesliga standings
Heavy snow fell in Munich, and Bayern's current round of matches was postponed. Bayer Leverkusen were held to a draw at home by Borussia Dortmund but remain unbeaten and continue to lead the Bundesliga table. Bayer Leverkusen's goal difference is lower than Bayern's, and Bayern would have gone to the top if they had won this round, but Bayern were able to continue to lead the way due to heavy snowfall that caused Bayern to postpone the game. However, Bayer Leverkusen's recent schedule has been intensive, and if you don't pay attention, you will be overtaken by Bayern.
Stuttgart have a good record and were able to stay in the Bundesliga by beating Hamburg in the play-offs last season. Stuttgart have been reborn this season and have long been in the top three of the Bundesliga, with a current lead of Leipzig by four points. Leipzig and Borussia Dort's records are similar, with both sides hovering over the top four.
