I agree with you, when Real Madrid beat Girona then at the same time I think Real Madrid has beaten all the teams and is ready to win the title I mean just waiting for the time to come, yeah I know Real Madrid drew 2 times in the last 5 matches, but I think it doesn't mean anything because they are still safe in the standings and leading with 5 points ahead. I consider Barcelona out of the title race since Lewandowski is no longer reliable, his performance continues to decline until now and he is not included in the top scorer list. If Barcelona wants to compete next season then they have to regenerate especially in the defense and attack lines, like the defense has a bad record this season or the team that has conceded the most goals among the other top teams.
The positions of Girona and Real Madrid are quite far apart because if Girona wants to catch up and take first place again, then they have to have three wins, and unfortunately, in the last few matches, Girona has not succeeded in getting a win, and it is possible that Girona no longer has the enthusiasm to take first place and will let Real Madrid go. become champions in the league this season. Currently, Barcelona is experiencing internal problems, which is causing the players not to give maximum performance. However, despite the internal problems, Barcelona is still trying to provide the best for its supporters, and there are still several matches this season that could give Barcelona an opportunity to catch Real Madrid. Girona started the season on an impressive performance and were considered as a major contender for the Spanish La Liga title at the start of the season but considering their recent performance, I don't think they stand any chance of winning the Spanish La Liga title at the end of the current season. |

Actually Napoli performance is not good enough to be measured with other good teams like real Madrid and Manchester City because we all no how poor in performance Napoli has been on this season especially the Italian serie A were they have played six matches and win only one match, so actually if they can play so poor that they ended up on the tenth position of the Italian serie A table is it the champions League that has so many quality clubs that are well known by there good performance they would survive, actually there are more qualified team that's actually the right candidate for the champions League trophy but Napoli is not included.
I'm even pessimistic that Napoli can put up strong resistance when they play in the second leg. Napoli certainly cannot be compared to Real Madrid and Manchester City because Napoli is not a team that is consistent in maintaining their performance. Napoli have lost their best form this season and if they make it through to the next round I'm sure other teams will stop their run. For the second leg, Barcelona seems to have the advantage to beat Napoli because Barcelona, if we look at the home game, of course they are full of ambition to achieve victory. Especially in the Champions League match, of course there is a lot of pressure that Xavi expects from his players to perform optimally in search of victory. However, Serie A representatives in the Champions League this season cannot be underestimated because Lazio, Inter Milan and Napoli have performed impressively this season so they are predicted to be able to trouble their opponents in the second leg. This season in the Champions League the team that looks quite focused is PSG because they are really targeting the UCL trophy. For this reason, Luis Enrique has a heavy burden in the Champions League this season, but if he succeeds, of course a lot of praise will come to him. Napoli without doubt have all it takes to beat Barcelona in the second leg of their round of 16 tie in the UEFA Champions League competition but like I said earlier, it'll be a very difficult one for them since the second leg will be played in the famous Camp Nou a ground where Barcelona have made so many memorable comebacks in the competition. In the first leg of the game that was played at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium on Wednesday, Napoli failed to use the advantage of the support of their home fans and |

Believe me a lot of people who voted for Manchester to win against Chelsea lost money, Yes? Keep ▶️, you'll learn the hard way not to underestimate any club even if they're doing poorly.
I also lost money in the match because I never believed that Chelsea would be able to perform well in the match. I used Chelsea's poor performance in previous matches to conclude on how they were going to perform in the match, but Chelsea surprised me in the match, they held Manchester City down and could only score one goal in the match. I was expecting the match to be kind of easy for Manchester City, and I was thinking they would score many goals in the match, but the match ended in a draw. Chelsea even had opportunities to score more than 1 goal, but we know Chelsea's problem is that they lack experienced strikers. If Chelsea have better strikers, they will won the match. You should by now know the nature of how Chelsea plays and cannot be so sure that they’ll win a match or draw a match. They win when we don’t expect them to and lose when we don’t also expect them to lose. They are one of the most inconsistent team this season that their performance is very unpredictable and I think they will continue like this till the end of the season. Chelsea drew all of their two leg premier league matches they played against Manchester City this season and they are still in 10th position on the table which may ponder you that how comes they haven’t move ahead, it can now all be attributed to their lack of consistency in winning matches. Chelsea since the start of the season have been performing incredibly well again the traditional big teams in England and even when I expected Manchester City to beat them, I also predicted that it was going to be a very difficult game for Manchester City. Mauricio Pochentino I think have mastered the best approach when his team is facing any of the strong teams in the league as well as the best possible means of getting a result. However, despite his Mauricio Pochentino's ability to win games against strong teams in England, he's not been able to lift the team to the top four of the English Premier League table since he took over the managerial position at the club. Chelsea I think have all the needed quality of players to be competing for the English Premier League title this season but unfortunately for them, they're not even any where close |

Arsenal really need a sharp attacker that can play as a central nine,because none of this current attackers can really deliver them when they need him the most.In the champions league yesterday, Barcelona got a 1:1 with Napoli,and it was their two attackers that scored the goals because they are reliable.Osimhen and Lewandowski got the goals for them to show how important a central nine is.
If Arsenal should be able to get a sharp attacker like Vampersie of those days,then they must have gotten a complete squad.
At Lewandowski age, he's not the kind of striker Arsenal need at the moment to solve their striking issues because it's almost impossible for him to to still deliver the kind of performances he was having as at the time he was playing for Bayern Munich and that's why Victor Osimhen will definitely be a better option than Robert Lewandowski if Arsenal finds themselves in a situation that they would have to chose from any of the two strikers. Lewandowski currently players for Barcelona but is very likely to leave the Catalan club at the end of the season but I don't think he'll be joining another European club because his current age and fitness level will not let him to manage the expectations that comes from playing in European football. The Poland striker have been linked to a transfer to the Saudi Arabian League at the end of the current season |

Milan is the favorite in the match-up, even a 2-0 loss could be enough for them in this away game. I don't think they will take too many risks, their priority will be to play a controlled game without conceding goals today. After a very bad start in their league, Rennes surprised everyone with 6 wins in a row and suddenly they are back on higher places. Against such an in-form team Milan will naturally be more defensive. They wouldn't blow a 3-0 lead.
As for Benfica, I think they will be more attack-minded and looking for goals. 1 goal from Benfica will let Toulouse guard down completely. Things are not going well for Toulouse this season. As long as they stop Dallinga, Benfica will have no problem. They will pass this round by winning both games.
It's very difficult to predict a side bet for Freiburg and Lens. Freiburg have had bad results recently, they can't win matches. Lens is doing well but their chances of winning away are not very high. First game was 0-0, maybe we can see another draw and extra time here.
It's interesting that there are 4 French teams in the last 16 play-off round. Let's see how many will pass the round.
AC Milan will be very confident going into this match, they are already ahead by 3 goals, of course this means they will be more relaxed about playing this second leg and seeing that their quality is much better so no one doubts that they can win the match again. Benfica against Toulouse will be a fierce match in this second leg, Benfica, which is only 1 goal ahead, cannot play safe because the second leg will be played at home to Toulouse, making the home team have huge motivation to be able to turn things around. Milan scored the equalizer against Rennes and the score is now a 1-1 draw. They won 3-0 in the first match and now it would be a miracle if Milan is eliminated in this qualifier because Rennes needs 3 goals and time is constantly running out. Karabakh, on the other hand, is fighting to maintain its 4-2 lead in the first match in the match it plays in Azerbaijan. Braga is a very strong team and Karabakh must play defensively to pass this round. AC Milan's result against French club Rennes in the first leg of this tie I think makes it almost impossible for them to be eliminated by the French club the game. Rennes without doubt is a big club that's capable of overturning a 3:0 deficit but considering the fact that they're playing against an AC Milan team that posseses a better squad in terms of quality of players, i don't see them progressing to the next knockout stage of the UEFA Europa League competition. The game is 55 minutes gone already and the scoreline is still 1:1 but 4:1 on aggregate in favor of the Italian team. So with the current scoreline, AC Milan will be playing in the next stage of the competition. I think the biggest candidates are Liverpool and Leverkusen, but very strong teams from UCL came to the elimination rounds. There are strong teams such as Galatasaray, Milan and Benfica. Only time will tell us what will happen. If they looked at the teams and asked who would be the favourite, I would say Bayer Leverkusen. My heart is with our Turkish team Galatasaray.
Milan can still compete with Liverpool and Bayer, but the rest are unlikely to be able to compete with them. Klop talked about how he sees Alonso as his successor, and it would be great if Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool met in the final and Alonso could beat Klopp. It is not clear whether Alonso will want to leave Bayer, although the Premier League is a very prestigious championship. AC Milan is without doubt one of the strongest teams in the UEFA Europa League and with their scoreline again Rennes, it's safe to say that they're gonna play in the next stage of the competition but I don't think they have all it takes to challenge Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen for the UEFA Europa League trophy this season. Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool have been absolutely impressive and consistent this season not only in the UEFA Europa League competition but in their respective leagues as they're currently at the top of their respective league table. AC Milan who have to play in the Europa League because they finished third in their group in the UEFA Champions League group stage haven't been convincing with their performances this season especially when they're facing big teams and should they meet any of Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen, I think they'll be thrashed by either of them |

Since there are some speculation posts here that Klopp could perhaps take over as coach of FC Bayern directly after his time at Liverpool, his agent made it clear again today that this will definitely not be the case. He will also not be taking over a national team after the European Championships for the time being.  Few minutes ago, I read on a popular European sports tabloid that Jurgen Klopp will not be managing any team both club and teams for at least a period of one year after he leaves his current job as Liverpool manager at the end of the current season and coming to the forum again I saw this post which is coming from a different source and that I think confirms the news. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is one man that's very passionate about his family and is looking forward to spend an uninterrupted one year with them before he can make decision on which club or national team he's gonna manage after that. For a man of his age, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp knows why he chose to be without a club for a full one year and I think it's absolutely good for us to respect his decision. DeZerbi is the main target of Liverlpool as coach after Klopp.
Klopp also will skip 1 year, he needs to rest.
I see Xabi Alonso as the favorite for Liverpool. There is no reason for Xabi Alonso to stay at Bayer Leverkusen. Whether he makes Bayer Leverkusen Bundesliga champions or not, I think he will go to a better team. Liverpool is one of the best options for him. Some people are creating Barcelona rumors about him but I think Liverpool is a more realistic rumor. Considering the current position of Bayer Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga now and their position when Xabi Alonso took over the managerial position of the club, the Spanish young manager I think have proven himself to the world of football that he's capable of managing any top club in Europe and for the fact that he was a former great player for Liverpool, I think the English Premier League club will definitely opt for him instead of Roberto De Zerbi. Roberto De Zerbi without doubt have also proven that he's a good manager that can be relied on by any of the top clubs in Europe but I don't think his tactical experience is as huge and effective like that of Xabi Alonso. Also Xabi Alonso will better understand and speak the Liverpool language and style of play because he was there as a player and was among the Liverpool team who won the 2006 UEFA Champions League title |

It is clear to me that Ronaldo is doing his best to be in shape enough to actually matter next world cup as well. Not that he may start the games, but even if he could become a bench player, he would love to go to at least another one. He is already 39 years old, and we have 2 more years, so he could be about 41 years old when the cup is being played, and I feel like it could actually be possible.
Portugal has better players than Ronaldo now, not in general, like not in career level but at the current moment and they will have better players than a 41 year old Ronaldo for sure. But the question we need to ask, do they have 25 of them? Sure a few, but 25 players better than Ronaldo? I do not think so, he could still play. Yes! I also think it is very likely and entirely possible that Cristiano Ronaldo will participate in the next World Cup as a player, after all there is only two years left and currently he continues to play "a lot of football". In fact, not only him, but I see that two world football stars, already in the final stage of their careers, have been called up to defend their countries again on the next FIFA date: In addition to Cristiano Ronaldo, now 38 years old, there is also the Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 41 years old currently. Even with their advanced age, they remain part of the plans of their respective teams, who face their first games in the Euro 2024 qualifiers in March. It will be a good test to see how their physical performances are and how difficult they will make it for the opponents. I've been able to read a lot of opinions from different people and on different sports websites concerning the possibility of Cristiano Ronaldo playing in the next edition of the FIFA World Cup and for me that's been opportuned to watch the Portuguese star right from when he announced himself to the global stage at the 2004 UEFA Euros championship which was hosted in his home country Portugal till this very moment, I think the Portuguese star is very likely to feature in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo is one player that's been very intentional about his health/fitness over the years and considering his injury history, he's not a player that's prone to major injuries so with his current level of fitness and performance, I think he'll be fit to participate in the next edition of the FIFA World Cup in two years time. It is clear to me that Ronaldo is doing his best to be in shape enough to actually matter next world cup as well. Not that he may start the games, but even if he could become a bench player, he would love to go to at least another one. He is already 39 years old, and we have 2 more years, so he could be about 41 years old when the cup is being played, and I feel like it could actually be possible.

It will be a good test to see how their physical performances are and how difficult they will make it for the opponents. Even if they are not starters, it is very important to take these great veteran players to help and support the other teammates... They are very experienced players who have already experienced major competitions, so it makes perfect sense for them to participate in the World Cup, the importance is not just playing. Cristiano Ronaldo might not be q regular starter if he succeeds to feature for the Portugal national team in 2026 because of the young, talented, energetic and pacy players in the team but I think he'll play some major roles for the team because of his wealth of experience. For a player that's already in 5 different World Cup finals, Cristiano Ronaldo I think will make a great impact in the team and that's why the current manager of the Portuguese national team Roberto Martinez is always calling him up to the national team games. |

Chelsea will host Tottenham in the 26th week of the Premier League. This will be a match that I think is difficult to predict because it will bring together two clubs that are in an unstable situation to date. Chelsea gets an advantage because they will play as hosts and they can use that to put pressure on Tottenham from their fans in the stadium.
Chelsea itself had just held Manchester City to a draw the previous week with a score of 1-1. This result was unexpected because previously Manchester City would have been able to win with the advantage on paper that they had in that match, but in reality Chelsea was able to show resistance which made Manchester City difficult and failed to win the match, the result was that they had to be satisfied with only winning 1 just points, something very good for Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Tottenham just received a defeat which was a bit surprising because they had to suffer a defeat against a club that was actually mediocre, and what was even more surprising was that they lost when playing at home. Of course, this will slightly disturb their mentality and could possibly have an impact on this match. Apart from that, I want to see these two clubs play as well as possible to be able to present a game that is enjoyable to watch. For betting, it looks like I won't bet on this match.
Chelsea were supposed to play their match week 26th game of the English Premier League against Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow at Stamford Bridge but unfortunately for both teams, the game have been postponed till further notice which means that both teams wouldn't be in action in the league this weekend. When Chelsea visited Tottenham Hotspur in their first league game of the season, Tottenham Hotspur were then at the top of the league table and were yet to lose a league game. That game experienced so many talking points as the home team saw two of their players sent off as well as injury to few of their first team players. The scoreline of that game after final whistle was disappointing for the home team as they suffered their first league defeat of the season in that game. Whenever the postponed game is finally scheduled, Tottenham Hotspur I think will be going into the game with the mindset that they're gonna revenging for that embarrassing defeat and that's why I also expect them to play that match in their full strength but that I don't think will stop Chelsea from going for a win as well. The game will be played at the home ground of Chelsea and I'll be banking on a Chelsea win or draw in that game. I'm not sure if Liverpool's present squad can stay at the top of the Premier League table before their key players return from injury. Even without key players, Liverpool was supposed to win against Luton Town yesterday because Luton Town only won five of their 25 matches played in the Premier League this season.
Liverpool did win when playing at home when they hosted Luton Town because that team was a weak team that Liverpool could easily face. And to be able to stay at the top of the standings until the end of this season, Liverpool only needs to win and not lose or hope to lose to Arsenal and Manchester City, both of which are very serious competitors for Liverpool this season. However, if we look at several Liverpool players who are still injured at the moment, of course some people really doubt that Liverpool will be able to survive for long at the top of the standings. Liverpool are in their tough time now because this is the right time for all the players to be available especially when Jürgen Norbert Klopp is going for this retirement for him to make a good career ending, but still I doubt if he will make it out, Arsenal and Manchester city are also hunting that top and both are ready to take over from Liverpool if there is any slight chance. I know Liverpool won yesterday game against Luton Town but it wasn't the way I was expecting it, I know Luton Town are full of surprises sometimes but I wasn't expecting that surprise because Liverpool are in their best form despite some of their key players are injured. Despite playing the game without some of the best players in the team, Liverpool's performance against Luton Town yesterday I think is a strong proof that Jurgen Klopp is a manager that's experienced enough to win games even without his injured vest players. After it was confirmed that some of the most important members of the Liverpool squad were not gonna play in that game, I was of the opinion that Liverpool were gonna struggle in that game but surprisingly to me, they convincingly won the game. The big question now is that can they still repeat their impressive performance of yesterday with same squad when they meet a stronger English Premier League team? Liverpool manager I think knows what to do to make sure he gets a good result. |

I don't put too much hope Into the club Atletico Madrid for the weekends, they should be with tired legs and I'm not so sure if they can do the same way they did with Las Palmas.
Algeria are struggling and trying to device means to get out of the relegation, Mark me, it won't be easily won if they're to go soft on Atletico Madrid. My pick for this game would be a win or draw for Atletico Madrid honestly.
Barcelona just ended them game against Napoli and couldn't win the game, trying to catch up Girona and maybe Real Madrid if they can still hope, they'd go up to the second position with such performance.
But they'd have to sit up In the Champions League.
Atletico Madrid will play Almeria this weekend, and Almeria is the team that is at the bottom of the standings. This is a good match for Atletico Madrid because it will definitely be easy to win. For gamblers, I prefer to put everything in favor of Atletico Madrid for this match. They will have a lot to gain when the match is over, and Atletico Madrid are the winners. For Barcelona, at least they tried as hard as possible to get a draw because, actually, Barcelona could have won this match, but in the 75th minute, Osimhen managed to penetrate Barcelona's defense and get a goal until the match was finished and ended in a draw. At least this is a better thing than someone losing and causing a loss to one of the parties. Barcelona's performance in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie Napoli was more than I expected of them and I think the club manager and players should be applauded for their efforts in that game. The Spanish champions haven't been consistent this season for some obvious reasons and that's why I was expecting them to be thrashed by Napoli who also haven't been consistent this season despite winning the Italian Serie A title last season but surprisingly, it was Barcelona who were very close to securing a win in that game before Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen scored late in the game to equalize the match. Yesterday's match was played at the the Diego Armando Maradona stadium in Naples which means that Barcelona will be playing the second leg of the game at the famous Camp Nou; a ground that have experienced some of the greatest comebacks in the history of the competition which now makes me to have a new prediction on who will progress among the two clubs. Initially I predicted that reigning Italian champions Napoli were gonna progress but considering the result and performance of both teams yesterday, I now think that Barcelona stands a better chance of reaching the quarter finals of the competition ahead of their Italian opponents Napoli. Girona are not ready to lose the game; they will play with Rayo Vallecano because they won’t like to drop again in the table, and I don’t think they can have that point so soon to go back to their first place but will just go down in the table. Because they are currently on a trait by Barcelona because they are just 2 points ahead of them, which I know Barcelona will like to be the second in the table.
Although we can’t put any more hope on Girona because of their poor results, after they played a game with Real Sociedad and it ended up in a draw, after that they played two other matches and lost, so all I will say is let’s go forward and see if they will be able to defeat Rayo Vallecano on Monday. That is when we will know the faith of Girona in this season. That is when we will know if Girona is truly weak or what the problem is.
That's true, however, if Barcelona this season fails to defend the title then they will try to finish in second place and at least that is still good rather than being quite far behind Real Madrid. The Blaugrana are very rational about the targets they want because after all they are aware that if this season they don't get good results and they have to be willing to take the title away from their eternal rival. Girona must be quite annoyed with their performance so far and they have had these bad results in a row and wasted several points that they could have got. It is true that Girona must rise because they can be an example for other mediocre teams next season if this season alone they can make it difficult for teams as big as Real Madrid or Barcelona in the standings. The match against Rayo will be a turning point for them or even if they lose again then it is almost certain that Girona will not be able to survive much longer at the end of the season. Girona started the season on a very good note and because of their very impressive start to the season as well as their consistency, they were tipped by many to win the Spanish La Liga title this season but considering their recent results in the Spanish league, I don't think they're ever gonna win the league title again this season. The talk about the possibility of Barcelona overtaking Girona to occupy the second spot in the Spanish league table I think is very likely to happen because Girona aren't as good as they were at the start of the season while Barcelona are getting good results in the league lately. Girona are currently two points ahead of third placed Barcelona at the moment and might not be able to retain the second spot till the end of the season but I'm very sure that they're gonna finish the season in the top four of the Spanish La Liga table. |

Girona was very strong this season, except for their defeat against Real Madrid, and they completely crushed their opponents, considering they scored a total of 52 goals this season. His average per match is higher than 2. Girona is a team capable of beating Atletic Bilbao, but they were ineffective against Real Madrid.
This season, we see that Girona can play the game they want against other teams. Atletic Bilbao is a difficult team and it will be a difficult game again. If Girona can break Bilbao's resistance with their pressure, they will have a chance of winning this match.
Girona might not win the Spanish La Liga title at the end of the current season but one thing we all must not shy away from is the that the fact that the club have performed exceptionally well this season even beyond the expectations of many who had predicted the final positions of all the teams in the Spanish La Liga teams at the end of the season. Later tonight, they play against Athletic Bilbao and a win for them will help the reduce the points difference behind league leaders Real Madrid but that I don't think will be easy for them to get because Athletic Bilbao is one club in the Spanish La Liga that has a very good record whenever they're playing at home Rayo vallecano did played so brilliantly yesterday and I must say Madrid not been able to beat them was actually resulting from their performance which was u deniable good and deserving of the Outcome of the results they got at the end of the game, Madrid had a red card an thst was also an advantage for vallencano.
~
Rayo Vallecano succeeded in making a team as big as Real Madrid end in a draw and did not give Real Madrid a chance to win in this match. Until the final minute, Real Madrid made a fatal mistake, which resulted in them getting a red card. With the defeat experienced by Real Madrid, this resulted in many gamblers making wrong decisions and many of them losing money. All of efforts from madrid became meaningless after rayo equalized the score to be 1-1. Ancellotti has tried to subs some players but it's not worked. Rayo's defensive line is performing very consistent in this game. It's unlike the match against different club in the previous games. I hate the result but since it was final and i can only accept it. There's no player who could take the risk like bellingham by risking himself to help club to score. Madrid got some changes but the attackers were still missed it. Real Madrid in different occasions this season have come from behind to snatch late wins in the Spanish La Liga but unfortunately for them yesterday, they couldn't even hang on to their one goal lead against Rayo Vallecano to claim the needed three points from that game. Carlo Ancelotti have been impressive with his tactical approaches since the start of the season and that's why I don't think he should be blamed for their failure to win that game yesterday but one thing I think is very sure is that Real Madrid are gonna be Spanish La Liga champions at the end of the current season |

The interesting thing about Al Ittihad and Benzema in this season is about the performance of Al Ittihad during the time when Benzema was  Well, I'll say something, if they have a Star like this and they don't use him, I don't know why they bothered to spend so many millions on him , plus he's an EU player or he's out of shape, I know that Benzema has had some problems recently. It's something normal, I don't know if it's because of adaptation or something like that, but it's something that he has to overcome or that I think he's overcome, but I really want to see this player shine like he did in Madrid, I don't know what It's just that he lacks it, but if he is training with the team it means that it is Already Something that is seen with a very Good omen. The "cat Benzema" has Always been a player who has a lot to Give, for me he is the player who has the best lineup, everyone Says that the best Ferencé is Mbappé and that he is Supposedly Above everyone, but for me it is not Thus, for me, Benzema has Much more Quality than him, however I would like Benzema to be able to score the goals that we are used to, and thus be able to get out more in action. In fact, everyone in the world talks about Benzema as that Promise who Went to Saudi Football to shine but things still haven't gone as they are, I think he needs a little more motivation, he has a good friend who is CR7, And I'm sure that any advice from that Country will Ask him... He believed that for now he must adapt to his team that takes his confidence and that can make him different from the others, he cannot put himself in an orbit of low energy vibration again, he has to raise his spirits and I think that if he is gone then It did him good, if so, then we need to see the goals of a Gatic who is always willing to do things with all the love of the world for football and that is something that we hope for, I think it is time for him to show himself. Let's see if Deschamps puts him in for the French National team because he is a guard of experience and great skill. This has probably been one of the luckiest signings any sport as seen from the perspective of the player. He has been impressive during that one year when they won the Champions League and he literally scored every single game and it was unbelievable at some point. I agree that he deserved to win the Ballon d'Or in 2022, but apart from that season he was two levels below his best. Don't get me wrong here, but I can't remember one reason in which he reached the level he reached in 2021/22 and I acknowledge this as it was outrageous. If he didn't play a season like that, I doubt he would have ever been in a position to sign this insane contract. He was still good and he scored his goals, but it wasn't like the year before. You could see how he was less thrilled and the body language changed and if I remember correctly, he got injured. Wether we like to admit it or not, it doesn't change the fact that Karim Benzema had an incredible performance during the 2021/22 season that he helped Real Madrid to win the UEFA Champions League competition which was also the reason why he won the Balon D'or award and anybody who watched most of his performances then will agree to the fact that he deserved every personal accolade he got as of that time. Since he moved to the Saudi Arabia League last summer, he's not been able to replicate his impressive goalscoring form during his time at Real Madrid in his current club Al Ittihad and just earlier this year, there were reports that he's not happy in his current club and was even pushing for a move away from the the club. But one thing that's obviously been happening since his reported fallout with the club is that he's been receiving his his wages at the club. Personally, I think the club is on the losing side and if I'm to advise them, I'll tell the club management to let go of him do they can sign other European players to replace him |

Last night, Fenerbahçe won the match 3-1 against Çaykur Rizespor. Serdar Dursun, who played for Fenerbahçe again, scored a goal in his first match. And he played an important key in his team winning this match. Edin Dzeko scored another goal and is at the top of the top scorer list with 18 goals. Fenerbahçe will face Kasımpaşa at home next week.
Like you rightly said, Fenerbahce convincingly defeated Caykur Rizespor yesterday with a 3:1 scoreline to reduce their points difference behind league leaders and reigning champions Galatasaray. But what really caught my attention in that game was the performance of Edin Dzeko who scored a goal in that game. Despite the fact that the former Manchester City and Inter Milan player is currently 37 years of age, Edin Dzeko have been scoring goals for fun for his current club Fenerbahce and should they end up with the Turkish Super Lig title at the end of the season, Dzeko will definitely be regarded as one of the best players who helped the club achieve such feat. Galatasaray won the match 3-0 with the goals scored in the first half of the match. Galatasaray's goals were scored by Kerem Demirbay, Sanchez and Icardi. Köhn played the Galatasaray jersey for the first time, I liked his performance yesterday. 3 days later Galatasaray have an important match against Sparta Prague in the Europa League. I quess, with a comfortable victory before the Sparta Prague match, the positive energy of the team increased.
Galatasaray wining was actually a big success for them because right now there points has greatly increase on the league table, actually I love the determination of Galatasaray on this league because there focus is strictly on winning this league and that's exactly what they are working on, that's why if you check there last ten matches you will see that they have completely won all the ten matches, so perhaps right now Galatasaray is the most consistent club on this league because they have a very good wining record, however I'm even surprise to see how they have been able to outperform Fenerbahce because I remember when Fenerbahce was leading the league table but it was very unfortunate for them that there consistent was not stable. Galatasaray is not just impressive in the Turkish Super Lig but also doing well in the UEFA Europa League competition and that's something that the club's fans and management are very proud of at the moment. They won their game during the weekend to go a step closer to retaining the Turkish Super Lig title and despite the strong competition from Fenerbahce, I think their going to win the Turkish Super Lig again this season |

Leverkusen is now increasingly comfortable leading the standings after its greatest competitor Bayern stumbled again yesterday, I was surprised and everyone else felt the same way. Mathematically, Bayern chances of overtaking Leverkusen are very difficult when Leverkusen continues to be consistent, which means Bayern will fail to defend the Bundesliga trophy. Even so, Xabi Alonso must remain fully alert and must not be careless, because all possibilities in the future could be far from predictions.
There are 12 remaining matches ahead, where everyone is very curious to what extent Xabi can maintain his unbeaten record. It would be a big party if they won the Bundesliga trophy with an unbeaten record for a full season, that would be extraordinary. Apart from that, Leverkusen also has the opportunity to win the DFB Pokal championship trophy, where they are also very favorites there.
On the other hand, of course Tuchel is now under a lot of pressure and luck is not on his side this season. Tuchel has a capable squad depth, but currently his troops are experiencing discouragement. I think this is the worst season for Bayern, where it is very likely that they will end the season without winning any trophies.
Bayer Leverkusen is without doubt the best team in the German Bundesliga this season but what's even more surprising to their success this season id the fact that they're not even the best team in the league in terms of quality of players yet have been the only team that's yet to suffer defeat this season in the German Bundesliga. Xabi Alonso will be very proud with what he's been able to achieve so far this season with the Bayer Leverkusen team and I don't the he's getting all the media hypes he's supposed to enjoy for the club's impressive performance this season. Mathematically speaking, Bayern Munich still have a very good chance for overtaking Bayer Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga standings and probably win the league ahead of Xabi Alonso's men but considering how impressive Bayer Leverkusen have been since the start of the season, I don't think it'll be possible for Bayern Munich to stop them from winning the league title at the end of the season. If Bayer Leverkusen eventually wins the German league this season and end Bayern Munich's dominance in the league, retaining him as the manager of the club will be very difficult for the club's management because other bigger European clubs will want to get his services |

Tomorrow is a critical game for Manchester City against Brentford as if they fail to win this one too then it is an absolute game over for their title fight.Therefore I think they will be fully focused in this game and will win it as they are not playing in Champions League this week.Even if they were playing in Champions they have a rather easy opponent there so most likely they are going to win tomorrow game.
Actually the results of last weekend's match against Chelsea, which only drew, have made it difficult for Manchester City to become champions. because even though they won the postponed match the points they got were still 1 point behind Liverpool. Man City dropped two crucial points against Chelsea though from my own point of view it's just a minor setback to the team, though tomorrow match against Brentford is a must win for city to put the team on the track for the title aspiration, though a draw isn't bad for the team a loss would be a big setback because Liverpool would widen the gap with Man City and at this stage of the league every point is very crucial including number of goals scored remember Arsenal too is pushing up with full force and also a title contender thus their shouldn't be any room for complacency among the top three teams especially Man City who has an outstanding match tomorrow. Because of the impressive performance of Manchester City since Kelvin De Bruyne returned to full action at the club, many including me were of the opinion that they were gonna thrash Chelsea when they played against the Blues at the Etihad stadium last Saturday, but surprisingly to everyone who predicted an easy win for Manchester City, Pep Guardiola's team had to rely on Rodri's late goal in the game to get a point from the match. Tomorrow night at the Etihad stadium, Manchester City will play host to Brentford and as expected, bookmakers have tipped the home team to easily win the game. Manchester City who is undoubtedly one of the serious contenders for the English Premier League title this season but for them to be able to win the league title, they must not drop points against Brentford tomorrow because I don't think Liverpool who happens to be Manchester City's greatest rivals for the league title will drop points when in they face Luton Town this week |

Ac Milan's performance is difficult to predict, it could be said that it is not good and even tends to be inconsistent. In the Europa League, they won a landslide victory with Rannes and it is certain that AC Milan will qualify for the next round because AC Milan's aggregate is difficult for Rannes to catch in the second leg.
However, if you look at the domestic league, their performance is very bad, especially after losing to a weak team Monza, a painful defeat with four goals conceded, AC Milan's defense is so weak in the domestic league. From the last two matches which were very different for AC Milan, my prediction is that AC Milan's journey in the European League will not reach the final. Maybe AC Milan will only reach the semifinals, because of its unstable performance.
AC Milan has been quite good with their performance in the Europa, they have not been really poor in their performance so far so I wouldn't want to say that they are not a good team or inconsistent because if we are talking about their Europa performance they are really looking promising and I've known that they will be the next big challenge asides Liverpool and Leverkusen. AC Milans performance in their domestic league is such that you may think they wouldn't do well in the Europa but I think it's now even better that they seem like they have got some focus on the Europa and that's why they want to make sure they perform much more better than they would in their domestic League when playing in the Europa, Rennes may likely not make it to the next rounds on the Europa this season because they will not be able to catch up with Milan and probably ahead if they must stay in the race. AC Milan started the current season on a very good note especially in the Italian Serie A as they were leading the league table some time earlier in the season but unfortunately for them, they couldn't keep up with their impressive performance at the start of the season for long. They suddenly began to lose games they were expected to win which was why they went from one of the serious contenders for the Italian Serie A title to become a club that's now struggling to finish in the top four of the Italian Serie A table. It was their inconsistent performance in the league that made the club not to qualify from their group in the UEFA Champions League but was lucky to find themselves in the UEFA Europa League knockout stages after finishing third in the group F of the UEFA Champions League. Their 3:0 convincing win against Rennes last week I think puts them in a very good position to finish reach the round of 16 of the competition this Thursday. Rennes without doubt will want to prove that they're also one of the best teams in the Europa League but I don't think they're ever gonna stop AC Milan from progressing to the next round of the competition |

The coach's dismissal occurred again and now it is Gattuso's turn who has been fired by Marseille. It seems that this is because of the unsatisfactory results that Gattuso got as Marseille coach and last night's defeat in the match against Brest in Ligue 1 meant that he had no chance of avoiding a return to bad luck. I was quite sad to see his career as a coach and he was often fired quite quickly after not managing a team for long. It's only natural that the Marseille board decided to fire Gattuso because in the last 7 matches in all active competitions with Marseille he has not been able to win and on the other hand, if you look at Marseille's position in Ligue 1, they are now stuck in 9th position in the standings with 7 wins, 9 draws, and 6 lost. This is a bad result, especially for a team as big as Marseille in Ligue 1 and I hope this doesn't make Gattuso sad and it's better for him to rest first before finally starting his career as a coach if there is another offer. Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1759530038376927648It's one thing to be a great player and totally another different thing to be a good manager and that's why we've seen so many former football greats who didn't end up as great managers as well as so many many great managers who didn't have impressive records as football players. Gennaro Gattuso have been able to manage different top clubs in Europe including AC Milan, Napoli Fiorentina and even Valencia before becoming the manager of French club Marseille but none of these spells with these top clubs was he able to win major trophies. Early this morning, it was reported that he's been sacked by the management of Marseille for his poor performance with the club. I see that some sources write that Mbappe signed a contract with Real Madrid for 5 seasons. And he will officially become a Real Madrid player from July this year. The contract offer ended up being less than it was in 2022, and his salary will be less than at PSG. This means it’s not about money, Mbappe understands that he has more prospects in Real Madrid, he can win more trophies and the Champions League is a higher priority among them.
Real Madrid have higher priorities to meet this season, really one of the good decision made by the president of Madrid, Florentino Pérez who took everything upon himself to ensure this Kylian Mbappe move to Santiago Bernabéu possible. He's a big admirer for the Frenchman and have sets his technique to win him over and this time, he was not desperate because he already have sets of incredible players. However, when the time is right, we will watch the trembling move of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid, exactly what we're seeing this present day. Real Madrid president Fiorentino Perez have never hidden his admiration for France national team captain Kylian Mbappe and this is not the first time he's made official offer to sign the player to Real Madrid on a permanent basis. However I'm very optimistic that he's gonna finally land him to the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the current season because the player is also very much interested in joining Real Madrid |

MU was slowly but surely climbing up again. Hojlund is showing his confidence to play in the EPL. we can't deny the fact that if hojlund is being quite consistent in scoring for united. He breaks all of bad expectations when he has come to the club and did nothing till the first goal was happening. MU can battle for the UCL spot now. THe gap toward the fourth place is not that big. This is obviously another interesting thing to watch. MU was playing so badly early season but it seems ten hag has been successfully bounding the club. The competition to get UCL spots are very intensive with some clubs are still chasing each other. Waiting for MU fans to praise ten hag for this after they blamed him a few weeks ago.
My heart began to rejoice again  The top 4 is the dream, and United will get that. Højlund has scored 13 goals and two assists in six consecutive Premier League games for Manchester United and will make it seven matches in a row against Fulham  Imagine when Ten Hag finally manages to get this team to service Hojlund better. He will be flying off the charts. But United still needs old Bruno back. He’s been lacking in goal-scoring of late. He needs to get back to the Bruno we know. Have a great week ahead... I'm not even a Manchester United fan but the truth is that I'm very happy for the progress they've recorded so far in the past five games in the English Premier League and just like you said, the dream to finish in the top four of the English Premier League table is very likely to happen for the club. Manchester United resurgence in the English Premier League is a joy to watch especially for the fans of the Old Trafford club but that's not even the only exciting thing about the resurgence of the club but also the club's striker Rasmund Hojlund who was finding it very difficult to score in the English Premier League is currently scoring goals for fun and that's one of the reasons why the club have been winning their recent games. Yesterday at Luton Town, the Denmark international scored two goals in the opening eight minutes of the game to hand Manchester United a win away from home and if he can continue with his current scoring rate, he might just be fighting for the golden boot with the other top strikers I'm the English Premier League at the end of the current season. |

Chelsea's front line is quite bad this season, I watched several of Chelsea's matches and it is clear that many opportunities were wasted in vain, but the front line cannot be completely blamed either, overall Chelsea's performance is very bad this season so there are many results. they got bad and in fact I think the entire Chelsea line was not well organized to create a good performance.
The performance against Manchester City last weekend cannot be used as a reference for anything, Chelsea was a little lucky to get a draw at Manchester City's home ground.
In last two years, we have too many problems in Chelsea with things are not setting as they needed even they spend huge funds and now having quality coach but still they are not as par they needed but in last few matches we have some improvement which is indicating they could be at his best in coming weeks with only attack is not problem their defense is also having too many issues as they are conceding too many goals and things are not going which they need for jumping back at the top of the league table. Here agreed only one match can't be referred as good because this was good luck instead of good performance and with their current level of performance we can expect them to finish into top 8 but still this is not easy because they needed good improvement and if they are able then surely we can expect good from them in coming season as well. Chelsea's disappointing performance since the start of the season I think is caused by the lack of prolific strikers at the club because the club without doubt posseses the best set of midfielders in the English Premier League. Chelsea's manager Mauricio Pochentino I think have tried to change the clubs attacking play in other to get better results with the strikers but none have worked. On Saturday against Manchester City, Chelsea were simply the better team in the game if you ask me and would've easily won the game had they utilized their chances but because the club's strikers were underperforming, Chelsea failed to win the game and ended up with a point from a game they were close to getting all three points. The both teams will really need the wining because there position on the league table is very low especially Everton who is on the relegation zone, so perhaps the only way they can improve or remove themselves from this relegation zone is actually if they can be able to win this match against Crystal Palace because right now they currently have 19 points while Luton town has 20 point so if Everton eventually win the match they will automatically become the 17 position while they will push Luton down to the relegation zone. However the main question is if they can be able to win Crystal Palace because in as much as crystal palace are not much on a good performance but they are somehow better than Everton.
Fight for survival with Everton needs to win, and they have good chance as well because their home performance is impressive, and Crystal Palace is badly down with in last two games they conceded 9 goals which are clearly giving how things are going for them, and they needed to be improved if they want to stay into Premier League even most chances we will have Burnley and Sheffield United both are set for the relegation with for the third spot we are going to have good competition because it's never been easy to stay with the worst performance, and we have Everton which is improving and can go through for the survived. Crystal Palace is also on bad run, but things are good for them with their early good performance but not it's time for them as well to have few good wins with bad run like this can bring them in trouble which could be not idea near the end of this season. Everton will play at home tonight against Crystal Palace and for a team that's fighting to avoid relegation this season, I expect them to win the game and go above the other teams in the league |

This round made PSG run away from the other teams with 13 points difference and Brest to move to the second position in the table after defeating Marseille. The defeat against Lyon was unexpected for Nice supporters and made Lyon escape further from the relegation zone.
Nantes started with some power but ended up by accepting the domination of PSG although having and missing many opportunities. Next time PSG will face Rennes which has a good record lately but they are expected to lose.
There is no need to be surprised because PSG is the only team that has more ability and has no competitors in this league PSG is comfortably going through the competition and has secured the title, so far PSG have only lost once and drawn 5 times they can tune the match according to what they want whether win, draw or lose. This is one of the reasons why Ligue 1 is less interesting there are no competitors so it's boring to watch it, in fact, we are more interested in watching matches in the Saudi Pro League. It will be so weird if 1 billion vlauation team will not able to get the trophy this season. There's no strong club in this league and this is also the main reason PSG was able dominating it. Im concerning about how PSG has been trying so hard in getting the good result but since this club has no a competitor that can be equal to the PSG. This is the main problem that must be solved by the club. PSG will be owning this season and the gap is too big for other club to stick it. We can only wait the final decision from mbappe. I hope he will not being disappointment decision for us. Mostly of people have been expecting him to join in the real madrid, people were willing to see him to be a part from the best club in the world too. Mbappe needs to get better achievement through joining in the real madrid. I don't see a better club than real madrid. Perez needs to approach him anytime. He must try to make sure mbappe will accept salary cut offered by madrid. Like I've always said in the thread, I don't think there's anything that's gonna stop Paris Saint Germaine from winning the French Ligue 1 this season and that's because of the quality of players in the team when compared to the rest of the clubs in the French league. Since the current owners of Paris Saint Germaine took over the club, they've been the highest spenders in the transfer market by a French team and one of the highest spenders in the whole of Europe so it's almost impossible to stop them from winning at least the French league title. At the end of the current season, I expect Paris Saint Germaine to win the French league which will be their 8th consecutive win of the league but their most challenging issue is winning the UEFA Champions League title. We've seen some of the best players in football of the last two decades play for Paris Saint Germaine since the new owners took over the ownership of the club but the closest they came to winning the European Cup was in the 2019/20 season that they played in the final against eventual winners Bayern Munich. I think the best time for Paris Saint Germaine to win the UEFA Champions League title is now because at the end of the current season, their best player Kylian Mbappe will be leaving the club. |

Real Madrid failed to beat Rayo Vallecano yesterday to extend their perfect lead against Girona at the top of the La Liga table. I know Girona players will be happy with Real Madrid's result last night because they will have a chance to close the gap between them and Real Madrid to 3 points if they can win against Athletic Bilbao today.
Rayo vallecano did played so brilliantly yesterday and I must say Madrid not been able to beat them was actually resulting from their performance which was u deniable good and deserving of the Outcome of the results they got at the end of the game, Madrid had a red card an thst was also an advantage for vallencano. Real Madrid will still lead even if Girona gets happy at the results of yesterdays game they may not still be able to get ahead of Madrid but then will only ha e the advantage to still maintain their position while closing the gap between them and Madrid but then Madrid is very likely to win the league title this season without any form of prejudice because they will make sure they don't ha e this happening again in their next game after having this already happened in this their previous game already. Playing Real Madrid lately do not come so easily like it used to before now. Right now, they might not be in the best of luck and form but believe me, this is one of the best things to do when you play against them, you try to get a points out of the game. They couldn't have scored enough goaals during the both games against this side. Rayo Vallecano has done well, Girona will try to make the good of this game but yet again he'll head of the club has to do something positive. Barcelona winning rate also increasing, with time. They have seen some wins and also the fact that Robert Lewandoski has also begin scoring goals is a joy. Considering the current form and performance Real Madrid, Rayo Vallecano will be happy happy with getting a point from their match yesterday in the Spanish La Liga. Real Madrid have been winning against bigger teams than Rayo Vallecano even when they're playing away from home and just like bookmakers, many were of the opinion that Real Madrid were also gonna thrash Rayo Vallecano yesterday but to the surprise of many, Vallecano were able to get a draw in that game and I don't think there's anyone at the club who'll not be happy with the team getting a point in game they played against a very inform Real Madrid. Real Sociedad finally got their first win after failing to win in the previous 3 matches and this time they did quite well in the away match against Mallorca. Actually, I didn't expect that Real Sociedad would be able to win because the results they got were not convincing enough in my opinion, but now it has paid off with the victory they have been waiting for for quite a long time.
Yes, Real Sociedad really experienced some pretty bad match results in the last 4 matches yesterday. In the end, Real Sociedad was able to end this bad result with a win against Mallorca yesterday. However, in the next few matches, Real Sociedad will face several clubs that are not actually very strong but often give troubles to their opponents, namely Villarreal and Sevilla. However, if we look at its strength, Real Sociedad actually has a big chance of winning. And regarding the results of the Bilbao versus Girona match, it will certainly have a slight impact on the calm of the Real Madrid players who are currently at the top of the standings. However, even if, for example, in this match Girona is able to win the match, Real Madrid will definitely remain safe at the top of the standings. And this is not a big problem for Real Madrid.
Actually, I'm quite curious about Girona's future, whether they will experience consecutive bad match results again or whether they will get another encouraging result. because indeed, Girona must continue to produce wins so that their position remains safe as runners up or chasing Real Madrid. And the opportunity to continue to stay as runners up is there, as long as they can play in future matches, especially when facing Osasuna and Getafe later. The hope is that they can get the full 3 points. Girona have been the second best team in the Spanish La Liga since the start of the season but playing away at Athletic Bilbao who had impressive records whenever they're playing at home this season will be a very difficult match for the second placed team in the league table. Girona's biggest rivalries in their quest to win the Spanish La Liga this season is Real Madrid and the league leaders dropped points yesterday at Rayo Vallecano which means that should Girona win tonight against Athletic Bilbao, they're gonna reduce the points difference behind Real Madrid to just three points |
