And yeah, just like you. In yesterday's post I said that this match would be won by Al Hilal. It was proven that Al Hilal was able to overthrow Al Nassr. in fact, Al Nassr without scoring a goal in return. 3-0 was the decisive victory for the home team, as well as widening the gap to 7 points. IMO, the Al Nassr goalkeeper should have been more agile, so that he didn't stop taking a step, that way, he could have blocked Sergej Milinkovic-Savic's header. Unfortunately, Al-Aqidi couldn't touch Sergej Savic's header to protect the crossbar. As a result, Al Hilal opened the scoring for them. after that, other goals were scored.

Referring to the course of this match, as I outlined in the previous post. If Al Nassr will dominate ball possession and in fact they control 64%. Al Hilal will try to leave it more free, then counterattack quickly. technically, Al Nassr is superior to Al Hilal. However, tactically, Al Hilal was much better and was able to utilize its strategy well and achieve victory. Likewise with the matter of opportunities, the home team has more opportunities than the opposing team. and what is certain is that Al Hilal now has 7 points from the teams below it. Plus, Mitrovic's two goals reduced the goal difference that Ronaldo had scored with his 15 goals. for now, there is only a difference of 2 goals. If Mitrovic and Al Hilal are consistent, it is not impossible that the competition in scoring goals will also be even more exciting. Basically, I'm happy that Al Hilal won this match. Moreover, this match matches my scenario and predictions.

It's 1 nil on the scoresheet with Juventus leading, Massimiliano Allegri talked some words of wisdom to his players and they won't give up until they've achieved their aim in today's game. The home team, Monza losing to their visitors at Stadio Brianteo, and it's almost halftime for the referee, Michael Fabbri to blow the whistle. Juventus are quite representing brilliantly away and they won't hold back to concede a goal until they've succeeded in doubling the scores. Though we should wait patiently for the second halve to kickoff, we can see possible changes from bothsides and epic comebacks.

I have different opinion at the moment, Madrid and Man City are still favorites for everyone, but I really hope that Bayern Munich will be next team that will challenge the two favorite teams to see new history every season, not dominated by Real madrid or Man City alone and I say all this because I really see how the depth of Bayern Munich players is now more solid after the arrival of Kane Munich has become more consistent.

and for Man united it seems there is no hope of being in third place after a poor performance only ended in draw even though they had taken lead early and finally had to play against Bayern Munich who are one of the strongest teams in group A.

Indeed it's a warning to other teams that they should be careful of Arsenal when playing them,and one thing I have loved Arteta for is,not allowing a particular team to beat him twice.He has flogged all the teams that flogged them last season in the premier league.
Arsenal are among the teams I am tipping to finish first to 3rd in this year's champions league.I am optimistic that they will get to the semi final of this competition,and if care is not taken,they might probably go to the final as well.

I kept on watching yesterday's performance by the gunners,and to be frank,I am really happy with their performance of recent.They are beginning to have the mumentum they had from the start last season,and this time,they have experience,and know what to do to continue pressing forward.

United currently are behind in their performance and a lot is obviously wrong with the team. For me I'd say the fault is from both Ten Hag and his players as well. The players fault in the sense that they're being too sluggish in the pitch, they play like there's no interest in the game and they just want to get done with it. The way and manner they give off chances and how smaller teams capitalize on their mistakes to earn a lead from them. They've got good players but the players aren't at their best self week after week.

 Also consider the coach being at fault because many times he'd make a new strategy which in the end doesn't work for them, and then thesame strategy will still be repeated in other games. Not just tactics, both player combinations. Why on earth would a coach still keep implementing a strategy that's failed and isn't even bulging to make corrections? He's the manager and the bigger responsibility is on his shoulder. His job is on the line and if he's been unserious about it, then he should be set to embrace a sack.They've got quality players in the team, he should be able to maximize these players.

I think Sevilla will definitely beat Lens so that they can return to Europa league where they will go and perform wonders even as they have been seen struggling to win a match in the champions league, Sevilla will always be lucky because going with  their performance in the Europa in the past 3-4 season they have recorded more success in the Europa than any other team I believe this season will not be different regardless of the teams involved right now. I think every season in the Europa the Sevilla team changes their pattern especially if they get to the quarter finals they start playing like a team that's already in the finals so I think am looking forward to seeing them in the finals already this season.

What you said is true the coach should really check very well to know were there poor performance is actually coming from because one of the things we most understand is that no matter how good a goalkeeper is if the defense are not strong the goalkeeper can never perform very well because the defenders gives the goalkeeper the strength to showcase there skills.

But however in times of Manchester United I don't really know if there problems is coming from there goalkeeper or from there players because I could remember there few matches ago Onana was able to save Manchester United from losing.

Irrespective of how we feel that Newcastle United is still very much in a good form doesn't mean that they don't need more experience players because for a club to maintain there performance they need to buy more players so that if in the future some of there old players lose form, they can easily be replaced immediately with a very experience player.

Because this is actually what Manchester City normally do every season irrespective of how good in performance they are they always make sure they buy one good strikers or defender on every transfer window that's why Manchester City performance can never drop because they don't look at there current state but instead they also focus on how they can have enough experience players that could maintain the club performance. So buying new players is very important even when they are not using them at the moment but is good to have them on the bench because you may not know when the need will arise.

3-3 is the final scoreline and another draw by United in CL group match. They haven't been in form lately and have been losing lot of CL and PL matches. I feel that time is slowly coming on for ten Haag to get sacked. Now with this loss they stand at bottom of the table and lucky for them that except for Bayern other two teams also are at near or same no. of points. Although Copenhagen and Bayern match haven't yet happened but it's likely gonna go Bayern's way. So I think United still have chance to advance to the next stage and if they post a win with good margin.

I don't think there's any point in insisting that Real Sociedad can compete for the title because right now, Real Sociedad is only in 6th position with 25 points. Instead of thinking about Real Sociedad, I think Atletico and Barcelona are still more worthy because they are always in the title race in every seasons. But yes, for today match regarding the match between Mallorca v Cadiz I think it will still not be easy for both teams to win. Even though Mallorca is playing at home but still, the home factor for Mallorca still does not guarantee that Mallorca will win. Because yes, so far this season Mallorca also have been bad at home matches and the same goes for Cadiz, so far they have also been bad at away matches.

If Ancelotti somehow gets to United, that would be all problems solved for United without a doubt. He is not called Don for a reason, that dude is serious about playing time, you can be the greatest player ever, and if you do not show up and play with your 100% then you will not get any start, maybe even be out of the bench. Ancelotti could manage PSG tomorrow, and if Mbappe doesn't care in the game or training, he could literally bench him, this dude is too much focused on playing the players who will contribute the most and will work the most, it is not just about talent for him.

United has that lack of passion issue, if Don goes there, he will make sure he plays all the ones that work 100% and all the players will realize this and will put their 100% without a doubt. But, to be fair I do not expect him to go there neither, he will either stay at Real Madrid, or he will go to Brazil, those are the two options if you ask me and he may go to Brazil more likely.

For now it looks like this is the case in Ligue One, but we also have to look at the quality of the two teams as a whole, between Nice and PSG.
The Nice team just needs to maintain consistency while hoping that PSG will make many mistakes this season so that they can win the title, but this is difficult to happen because the PSG team has made quite positive progress since now and when compared to the start of the season the PSG team has experienced quite significant improvements.

Monaco and Nice will find it much more difficult to top the points table. Even I don't think these two teams will be able to create any obstacle for PSG to win the title. The attacking side of the Monaco team is quite strong. And they are performing very well in every match. However, the defense of this team is very weak. Monaco conceded 19 goals in 13 matches. On the other hand, Nice's defense is the strongest defense in Ligue 1 this year. They conceded only 4 goals in 13 matches. However, Nice's players are unable to score too many goals. The team scored only 14 goals in 13 matches. This is why the performances of these two teams are likely to be more erratic in the upcoming matches.

More than anything, I think the performance of Lens was disappointing compared to the last season while Nice was amazing and you are also right about Monaco being in the good form both of these teams are currently racing at the top of the table while still, the first hope for the French league is PSG.

Indeed. To get 1 point is enough for Inter and Juventus. There is a lot of time to reach the end of the season, there are many matches left. Both Inter and Juventus must be aware that they shouldn't use all their energy for a single match only. Even if Juventus played all out and won the match, they will be in the top of the table temporarily. So, it is not a wise decision if they are too focused on a single match against Inter Milan but they forget other important matches in the future. What Juventus need to play consistently, they must get positive results in each match in the future. Get a draw against Inter isn't a bad thing, it is also a positive result. So, we don't need to debate that Juventus missed the chance to beat Inter at their home. Juventus are also not in the best condition for the match.

AC Milan was immediately awarded a penalty kick at the start of the match in the 5th minute due to Samuel Chukwueze's kick hitting Nico Schlotterbeck's hand in the penalty box. And Olivier Giroud took the penalty kick but his shot was saved by Gregor Kobel.
And Dortmund were also awarded a penalty in the 10th minute which was successfully executed by Marco Reus and the score is now 0-1. The match was exciting at the start of the match and AC Milan must be able to win this match in order to advance to the next round. If not, it looks like it will be difficult to advance to the next round.

Am I the only one who thinks Arsenal's performance was better last season than this season? They played better football at the beginning of last season, but I am not really certified by their performance this season yet. Even with the signings that Arsenal made, their performance was still better last season. Let’s just hope there is a difference in Arsenal's performance this season. Let’s hope they can maintain their current position till the end of the season, which I am not really sure will be possible yet. But since everyone is expecting improvement in Arsenal's performance due to new signings, let’s just wait and see.

Look at the teams Rayo faced in the last 3 matches. Real Madrid, Girona and Barcelona. They faced three teams competing at the top of the league in a row. They only lost against Girona and drew against the other 2 teams, which I guess no one would have expected. That's why Rayo is not an easy team at all. They are a team that got a draw from Barcelona and Real Madrid. They may be better this year. Barcelona's injuries will be very annoying, especially in these weeks when they lose points. There is also an important tournament like the Champions League. They should make extra efforts to heal the injured.

Inter are still standing as a team that will take this trophy in this season because they started with good performance that made them were they are today, to be in the first position in the Italy serie A table and to make their fans comfortable in this season. Inter did well not to allow Juventus to beat them in their home despite the mistakes they made that make the game to ended up draw 1:1 for the both teams to share points which Inter coach was not happy about it.

AC Milan will still be ahead of Napoli because, their performance in some games make some of their fans got angry with the way their coach is playing his own role in the team and there is no improvement that will give people hope that Napoli can still make it with all those players.

Manchester city so far leading with 12 points in the  group G is a guaranteed qualification for them even if it turns out they loose or draw their next two games, Leipzig aswell at the second position will seal their qualifications in their next fixture against Manchester city.

If they draw they will still maintain their second position with ten points but then regardless if the lose against Manchester city they still stands a better chance as young boys and crevena have got just one point each so far they will aswell be playing against each other in their next fixture and young boys looks like they stand a better chance to win but may end up at the Europa if they fail to qualify for the next round of the UCL.
