Former Real Madrid manager, Rafa Benitez, has weighed in on the Premier League title race, suggesting that Manchester City holds a significant advantage over Liverpool and Arsenal this season. Benitez’s assessment comes in the wake of Liverpool and Arsenal dropping points over the weekend against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa, respectively.

Benitez noted Manchester City’s confidence and depth as key factors in their favor, highlighting their ability to rotate players and still secure victories comfortably. He emphasized the likelihood of all teams experiencing further setbacks but believes that Pep Guardiola’s side will ultimately clinch the top spot.

Reflecting on Liverpool and Arsenal’s recent performances, Benitez pointed out instances of bad luck and loss of control during crucial moments in their matches. Despite having promising opportunities, both teams failed to capitalize, affecting their standings in the league.

Benitez observed similarities in Liverpool and Arsenal’s situations, noting the pressure of being in a position where dropping points is not an option. He acknowledged the impact of such pressure on their performances and suggested that it may have influenced their recent results.

Overall, Benitez’s analysis underscores Manchester City’s dominance in the Premier League title race, attributing it to their confidence, squad depth, and ability to capitalize on opponents’ mistakes.

Victor Osimhen delivered a masterclass performance on Friday night, scoring a hat-trick as Galatasaray cruised to a commanding 4-0 victory over Antalyaspor at Rams Park.

The Nigerian forward opened the scoring in the 30th minute, finishing off a precise pass from Álvaro Morata.

Osimhen’s latest heroics take his league tally to 20 goals in 22 appearances, making him the league’s top scorer.

Since joining on loan from Napoli after the fourth match of the season, he has netted 26 goals and provided five assists across all competitions in 30 appearances.

The match also marked a milestone for head coach Okan Buruk, who celebrated his 100th game in charge. Before kickoff, he was honored with a commemorative plaque.

Galatasaray made several second-half substitutions, with Roland Sallai, Dries Mertens, and Mario Lemina replacing Yunus Akgün, Lucas Torreira, and Osimhen in the 68th minute.

Antalyaspor’s only real threat came in the 73rd minute when Van de Streek’s shot was denied by goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.
