121  Economy / Speculation / Re: 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge on: April 21, 2024, 10:08:27 AM
I couldn't just miss doing my push-ups today despite how busy I was, i can't just start now to give excuses again when I just made a decision that I won't  miss a day again.

Happy halving to everyone despite its coming late, but still valid I guess, some blocks were minted today  Grin

I was able to hit 100 pushups for the second time since I started this challenge, I guess it was because I was on a high protein diet this morning and I was also determined to do it anyway, for those struggling like me, I just deviced a means to be able to reach up to 100 pushups without over excepting your self, although it's been said here several times,
Your decision to consistently do push up is the right action, friend. Because what I have experienced so far is if for example I stop doing push up for 2 days or more. When I started doing push up again I felt very lazy. Especially if, for example, I don't do push up for 1 week, it feels like my muscles hurt again when I do push up again. And after I found out about this, it turns out that when we do routine activities for more than 21 days it will become a habit. However, if we are used to this activity, then we stop doing it within 2-7 days, slowly the habit will disappear. So, therefore, this is one of the factors that makes feel lazy when continuing routines such as push up.

Then what I also learned, for example, we do push up regularly and the routine stops for several days (1-7 days). This will cause the muscles that have been trained to become weak again, because the muscles that have been trained no longer feel challenged. Therefore, if for example we do push up regularly and the routine stops, it will definitely make our body feel sore again when we do push up again. Therefore, the decision and intention you take to continue doing push ups is very correct.

And congratulations on reaching 100 push up.

1) find a number of pushups that you could reach without much stress. For me 10

2)divide this into several sets and keep big breaks in as much as you can recover your lost strength.

That's how I managed to do a 100 pushups today, nothing special for some but for me it was a big deal cause I've been struggling between 50 and 70 and I gas so quick, but I was able to accomplish this today.

My report for today,

100k, teamsherry,12,1050,2024-04-20.
Your advice is very correct, I also did the same thing as you, when I decided to do push up (3 years ago until now). And I just want to add that when doing push up, the point is we should just be able to enjoy it. Don't make this push up activity a burden. But make push up a hobby. Moreover, currently we are doing this push up challenge until the price of bitcoin reaches $100K. So of course we have to be able to enjoy the push ups.

And I will also send you my push up report today.

Sheffield UTD will be hosting Burnley in today's encounter and we're going to see the two worse teams in the EPL this season going head to head with them showing us the final chapter of how they got promoted to the EPL.
Burnley seem to be the better side in this encounter and they have to throw everything they (Burnley) have got at the already relegated team Sheffield UTD and I don't see much coming from the home side. If Vincent Kompany's men don't get all 3pt and it end in a draw then I don't think he should still remain the manager of The Clarets because they're the favorite in this fixture.
The match between Sheff utd and Burnley has started. So far Sheff Utd is superior to Burnley in terms of ball possession. Maybe if Sheff Utd continues to control the ball and continues to attack the Burnley defense, I think Sheff Utd has a big chance of winning this match. The reason is that in the first half (which is ongoing) the Sheff Utd match produced 3 shots towards Burnley's goal. Meanwhile, Burnley only fired one shot which could have endangered Sheff Utd's goal. So in the first half the game as a whole was still dominated by Sheff Utd players.

Maybe in this match the Sheff Utd players played more freely. The reason is, losing or winning this match will not have a big impact on its ranking in the Premier League standings. Because as we know, Sheff Utd will most likely be relegated this season. The reason is that Sheff Utd is currently at the bottom of the standings and Sheff Utd's points tally is currently far behind other clubs in the Premier League. So Sheff Utd players will definitely be calmer in this match than Burnley players. So with that calm, Sheff could have won this match.
And I personally bet on Sheff utd. Because I believe Sheff utd will most likely win this match.

Apart from that, if for example Burnley loses this match, their fate will definitely be the same as Sheff utd (relegation). But for this season, I'm sure Burnley will not change coach if, for example, Burnley loses in this match. Because of course this is a bit annoying, because this season will soon end. So even if Burnley will change coach, maybe after this season is finished.

Another EZ game happened last days. Al nassr has been successfully beating al feiha with decent scores but im concerning about al nassr's attacking lines. It's caused by these statistics.

28 shoots
12 shoots on target
60 percents ball possessions

That's amazing statistics but al nassr was only scoring three goals which is very very far from what has already recorded by the club in the last game. I think that they can do better in the upcoming game. There have been many opportunities wasted for nothing.
Im concerning about how al nassr was performing so badly and this keeps continue. I consider won the game against feiha is good but the goals is very far compared to the total shots on target.
Yes, in the match against Al Feiha the Al Nasr players really wasted a lot of opportunities. A big example is the penalty given to Al Nasr, but unfortunately Sadio Mane could not execute it well and in the end the opportunity was wasted. Apart from that, what made me a little disappointed with Al Nasr's game in that match was that in the first half Al Nasr was unable to score a single goal against Al Feiha. However, it was Al Nasr who conceded 1 goal in the first half. However, fortunately in the second half, in the 72nd minute to be precise, Al Nasr was able to equalize through a goal scored by Alamri. Then after that Sadio Mane paid for the mistake he made in the first half, when he failed to execute a penalty, by scoring 2 goals as Al Nasr's winning goal.

And in that match Ronaldo was not used, because if I'm not mistaken it was because of the red card he received in the previous match. Well, maybe this is what caused Al Nasr's front line performance to weaken slightly. Apart from that, in this match Al Nasr's back line still did not improve. I don't understand why coach Al Nasr doesn't also correct these shortcomings. Because the Al Nasr coach must be able to learn from the mistakes in the previous match and immediately correct these shortcomings. However, even until the match against Al Feiha, Al Nasr's back line did not perform well. And this was visible because Al Nasr conceded in the 6th minute.

And Al Nasr's attack line also needs to be improved a little. Because what I see is that Al Nasr's front line will only be sharp if Ronaldo and Talisca are there. But when Ronaldo and Talisca didn't play, Al Nasr's attack line became a little less sharp.

Marseille has a winning mentality. They lost 1-2 in the first leg and managed to win 1-0 in the second leg and qualified for the semifinals via a penalty shootout. Marseille and Atalanta are 2 teams that were previously underestimated. This is an interesting match as the two underdog teams meet each other in the semifinals.

~Snip
Yes, I also didn't expect Atalanta and Marseille to qualify for the Europa League semifinals. Because as you said, these two teams are not too favored teams to make it this far in the European league. However, since the European League started, Atalanta and Marseille have proven their quality. The reason is that in the group stage, Atalanta managed to become the top of group D, without experiencing defeat. And Marseille also managed to become runner up in group B with 1 defeat. So since the start of this competition, Atalanta and Marseille have experienced very good development. Because if you look at the achievements of Atalanta and Marseille in their respective domestic leagues, the results are not good. However, in this European League competition, Atalanta and Marseille produced results that far exceeded expectations.

And unfortunately these two teams had to meet in the semifinals. Because maybe it would be more exciting if, for example, Atalanta and Marseille met in the final round. Apart from that, in the first leg match, I personally predict that Marseille will definitely have a big chance of winning. The reason is, the first leg match will be held at Marseille headquarters. So Marseille definitely gets more benefits. Because if we look at Marseille's match against Benfica, in the first leg Marseille lost at Benfica's headquarters. However, in the second leg, Marseille was able to win the match. And this of course cannot be separated from the influence of the mentality of the Marseille players who are better because they are playing at home.

Milan have trailed 3-0 on aggregate to Roma in the Europa League. Milan's hopes of qualifying for the semi-finals are very low even though Roma had to start the second round with 10 players, so Milan's chances should be very small. But of course, there is still hope before the match ends but the fact is that Roma really still played well even though they only had 10 players.
Yes, Roma played very well in this match. Even though they played with 10 players, the Roma players managed to survive repeated attacks from Milan players in the second half. Even though in the 85th minute Roma had to concede 1 goal, fortunately until the match was over Roma was able to maintain a 2-1 lead. Apart from that, the Milan players actually also had many opportunities in the match, but unfortunately, of the many opportunities created, the Milan players were only able to score 1 goal through Gabbia's sharp header. So with Milan's defeat in this match, Roma has the right to advance to the semifinals with a 3-1 aggregate and will face Leverkusen in the semifinals.

Maybe in the semifinals Roma will definitely face tougher difficulties. Because if you look at Leverkusen's footsteps in the domestic league (Bundesliga), the performance of their players is very good. Because the proof is that Leverkusen in the Bundesliga has managed to become top of the standings and has never lost to any team this season. This is certainly a very good achievement record for Leverkusen. Therefore, in the semifinals Roma will definitely have difficulty winning the match against Leverkusen.

Sunday game and a derby, i dont know what to expect, because Real Madrid comes with a high mental health and Barcelona with a bad one, but also Real Madrid can be very tired after playing 120 minutes against City and also going into penalty shoots.

I dont know how much you can recover in a few days in such high level.

If they can recover Real Madrid is gonna win and seal the tittle race.
My fear is that Real Madrid wouldn't be able to win the game against Barcelona come Sunday because they will be definitely fatigued and will see most of their first team players all gassed up. It could be a game for Joselu to try something at least Carlo Ancellotti shouldn't drop him on the bench, he should let him have a chance to play.
Both teams played the champions league so I don't think either of them will be at advantage over the other due to fatigue. Think of it this way, Real Madrid won their match and qualified whereas Barcelona lost their match, so Real Madrid is supposed to be more motivated to win their next match, having imbibed a winning mindset and owing to the excitement of winning a big team like Man City. Barcelona on the other hand, will be so demoralized that they might not play in a coordinated fashion like they always do. Therefore, I think Real Madrid will win the match.

In the Real Madrid versus Barcelona match, I am sure that at that time the players on both teams would be fit again. The reason is that from the last match between the two teams in the UCL there was a rest period of around 4 days and in my opinion this amount of time is definitely enough to restore the stamina of the Barcelona or Real Madrid players. Maybe if we talk about the mentality of the Barcelona players who just lost in the UCL, it will definitely be a little difficult for them to get back up. However, the Barcelona players are clearly very professional. So within 4 days, it is very likely that the Barcelona players will have recovered mentally.

And if we talk about odds or predictions for this match (Barcelona VS Real Madrid). If, for example, the condition of the players on both teams is really good, I think the match will end in a draw or win narrowly. This narrow victory applies to Barcelona or Real Madrid. Because in my opinion the strength of the Barcelona and Real Madrid players who can play in this match is almost equal in terms of performance. Even if we talk about the attack line, Real Madrid is indeed better than Barcelona. However, Real Madrid's weakness this time is in the goalkeeper position. The reason is, currently Real Madrid's main goalkeeper, Courtois, is injured and will certainly not play in the match against Barcelona this week. And this will of course slightly reduce Real Madrid's performance in the match against Barcelona this week.

Meanwhile, Barcelona in this match, in my opinion, if you look at the composition of its players, is definitely complete. However, as we know, Barcelona's current performance is often inconsistent. So, if for example in the match against Real Madrid the Barcelona players are again inconsistent (bad), Barcelona will definitely lose. But if, for example, Barcelona players can play well, in my opinion the chances are Barcelona will draw or win by a narrow score over Real Madrid.

Guys, what's your opinion on Cristiano Ronaldo at this moment?  

Actually, I don't think he should be so serious about his career anymore, the way he is trying to be. It still definitely looks like he wants to play the next World Cup and also he actually believes he will be able to win the next World Cup with Portugal. and the way he has been behaving in the field recently, it has not been very good. He could do those things and get away with them when he was in form and in his prime.

Well, I guess people could say that he is still in form. but being in form in Real Madrid or Juventus is very different from being in form in the Saudi league. It is really sad to see a player literally becoming the villain like this. But he should also understand that if he reacts to these things, people will do these things more and more.

regards

duke
Ronaldo is a soccer player who has a stubborn character and always wants to achieve what he dreams of. Therefore, even though he is almost 40 years old, Ronaldo still has strong determination and ambition to be able to play in the 2026 World Cup. I think this is a very natural thing. The reason is, during Ronaldo's career in the world of football, at clubs and in the Portuguese national team, Ronaldo has not been able to give his country a world cup trophy. Therefore, until now Ronaldo still has strong self-confidence and motivation to fight to bring Portugal to become champions in the next world cup. Apart from that, I personally think Ronaldo is still very worthy of dreaming about this. Because even though Ronaldo is quite old, he has very high discipline in taking care of his body and training his abilities. And it has been proven that at his current age he is still able to score lots of goals and is able to become the temporary top scorer in the Saudi Arabian League.

Apart from that, don't really compare Ronaldo's performance at Real Madrid or at other clubs with his current performance at Al Nasr. Because Ronaldo's performance at that time was better than his performance now. But you also need to remember, at that time Ronaldo was still very young and what's more, when he was at Real Madrid, Ronaldo had teammates who already had very good chemistry with him. So that at that time Ronaldo could show his best performance. And about Ronaldo's always arrogant behavior, especially on the field. This is nothing unusual. The reason is, at Real Madrid, at Juventus and at Manchester United, Ronaldo always behaved arrogantly. But you need to know that off the field Ronaldo is a very good figure. Even Ronaldo often donates blood.

Arsenal will be playing against Wolves this weekend,and they will be looking forward to bouncing back from their back to back defeat at Both Emirates in the hands of Villa and the Allianz Arena at Bayern.Those two games where two important games the gunners needed to win to ensure they maintain the lead in the premier league,and as well be in the champions league competition,but they lost the two

~Snip
The match against Wolves should not be a difficult match for Arsenal. Because so far Arsenal have never lost to Wolves. Apart from that, Wolves' performance is also not good in the Premier League. Therefore, Arsenal should be able to win this match easily. Because if Arsenal doesn't win this match, I don't think Arsenal will be able to compete optimally in the Premier League. Because if Arsenal loses against Wolves, it is certain that Arsenal will be even further behind Manchester City. That's why winning is mandatory for Arsenal in this match. Apart from that, Arsenal is currently only focused on the Premier League. So this should be used as momentum to be able to continue to win in the remaining matches. Because as we know, Arsenal lost in the UCL quarter-finals, after being defeated by Bayern Munich. So Arsenal players must now be able to focus more on the Premier League.

The reason is, the competition in the Premier League this time must be taken more seriously by Arsenal. The reason is that in the remaining matches this season, Manchester City and Liverpool will definitely be very serious about winning all the existing matches. So in the remaining matches, Arsenal cannot draw or lose against any team. Because even though there is a difference of 1 point, it will definitely have a big influence on Arsenal's journey in the Premier League to reach the top of the standings. So Arsenal must win this match against Wolves and it would be better if for example Arsenal could win with lots of goals. And in this match I will bet on Arsenal, because I believe Arsenal can definitely win this match.

And in the match between Bayern Munich and Arsenal. In this match, Arsenal had to accept a narrow defeat from Bayern Munich. Actually, Arsenal played quite solidly in this match. However, in the second half, Arsenal conceded through Kimmich's header in the 63rd minute. And until the referee blew the whistle to signal the end of the second half, Arsenal were unable to equalize. So with this defeat against Bayern Munich, Arsenal had to be eliminated from the UCL with a 3-2 aggregate.
Well deserved win for bayern. The club does it better than arsenal and they deserve it. Arsenal was never winning europa league and how can this garbage team win UCL? The better for Arsenal to win PL trophy first. Arsenal is still an ordinary team. NO UCL DNA like other big clubs. It's still full with so many inconsistent little brats.
Yes, you are right friend. Bayern Munich deserved this win.
Apart from that, if you look at the reality, it is true that Arsenal have never won a title in the UCL competition so far. Even though Arsenal can actually be said to be a fairly strong team in Europe, the reality is that until now Arsenal has always failed in UCL competitions. Perhaps the best opportunity that Arsenal could achieve while participating in the UCL competition was when Arsenal managed to enter the final round at the UCL in 2006. However, unfortunately in the final round Arsenal had to lose to Barcelona and only became runners up at that time. And as far as I know, after that Arsenal never entered the final in the UCL again. Therefore, Arsenal deserves to be said to be a strong club from Europe that has never tasted the UCL trophy. So it's true, maybe Arsenal would be better off chasing the Premier League trophy first. The reason is, Arsenal haven't achieved it for a long time. The reason is, the last time Arsenal won the Premier League trophy was in the 2015-2016 season. Then after that Arsenal never won the Premier League again.

And when compared with Bayern Munich, as far as I know Bayern Munich has won the UCL 6 times. So if Bayern Munich's achievements are compared with Arsenal's achievements on the European stage, then Bayern Munich is clearly superior. But even so, Arsenal's struggle also deserves our appreciation. Because reaching the top 8 positions in UCl is certainly not an easy thing. For this reason, we must continue to appreciate Arsenal's struggle to reach this point in the UCL. And in the next UCL, hopefully Arsenal can provide even more optimal results. And I also congratulate Bayern Munich for successfully qualifying for the UCL semifinals.

The most interesting game is indeed Roma Bologna, it will be a "blood war" for a spot in the next Champion's League.
Yes, the Bologna vs Roma match will indeed be very interesting and hottest this week. Because as you said, this match will really determine which team has the greatest chance of getting a ticket to the Champions League. Apart from that, Bologna's recent performance has not been good. The reason is that in Bologna's last two matches in Serie A, the results only ended in a draw. Even though the team he was playing against was not a strong team, but a team that was ranked quite low in Serie A (Frosinone and Monza). For this reason, currently Bologna is getting closer to Roma in terms of points scored. The reason is that currently Bologna and Roma are only 4 points apart. So if, for example, Bologna loses this match, Roma will be closer to being able to shift Bologna from 4th place.

But even so, Bologna will definitely not let that happen. because if you look at all of Bologna's matches this season, I can judge that Bologna is not an easy team to beat. Therefore, it will definitely be very difficult for Roma to beat Bologna. The reason is that in the last match between Bologna and Roma, the result was that Bologna was able to win the match. So in this match, Bologna definitely has a big chance of winning the match. Although Roma currently has better performance after De Rossi served as coach. But I think Bologna will still be superior to Roma. And I believe Bologna will most likely win the match.

Barcelona now are out of Champions League and they will have to return to La Liga to fight and consider it as last competition to win in this season. Chance to win La Liga for Barcelona is very small and it depends on Real Madrid performances in Champions League and La Liga. If Real Madrid go more in Champions League, Barcelona will have some more hope that Real Madrid will potentially lose points in La Liga. Again it is only hope and Barcelona no longer control the La Liga competition.
I doubt if fighting for the la Liga title is something Barcelona would want to do at this point after crashing out of the champions league this season, currently that alone would have played down on their confidence and morale so i doubt if winning the la Liga is actually even going to be possible for them but one thing I'm optimistic about for Barcelona is finishing second on the la Liga table this season.

~Snip
Barcelona did fail in the UCL. This will certainly make the Barcelona players feel a little worse mentally and physically. However, competition in La Liga continues and Barcelona players must remain enthusiastic about facing it. Because if the Barcelona players don't carry out the remaining matches in Laliga with enthusiasm, it will definitely have a bad impact on Barcelona. The reason is, the teams ranked 3rd and 4th in Laliga, namely Girona and Atletico Madrid, will definitely continue to struggle to finish in a higher position. Therefore, don't let Barcelona's performance decline because they lost in the UCL. Because of course it wouldn't be funny if, for example, Girona and Atletico could overtake Barcelona.

And about the competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid for the top position in La Liga. I think at this time Barcelona must not give up and must continue to hope to reach the top position. The reason is, Real Madrid is currently leading with a fairly large point difference. However, it is not impossible that Real Madrid will experience a decline in performance at the end of this season. So in essence, even though Barcelona has not been able to win a single trophy this season, Barcelona cannot give up until the end of this season. Because losing and winning in a competition is normal. Therefore, Barcelona must be able to use this defeat as a good lesson for next season.

Al-Taawoun vs Al-Khaleej match will start tomorrow in Saudi Professional League. In the match of these two teams, Al-Taawoun team is far ahead in the points table so I want to bet in support of Al-Taawoun team in this match.  On the other hand, we can understand how well Al-Khaleej team can do tomorrow, but Al-Khaleej team played badly in the previous matches. If Al-Khaleej team can do well in this match, then the match will be more likely to be a draw.
Yes, it's true, Al Taawon is indeed superior to Al Khaleej. Because as you said, the rankings of the two teams (Al Taawon and Al Khaleej) in the Saudi Arabian League are quite different. So with this we can conclude with certainty that Al Taawon's performance is indeed superior to Al Khaleej. Because if you look at the head to head record from the last 5 meetings, the result is that Al Taawon is indeed superior to Al Khaleej with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. But even so, the last meeting between Al Taawon and Al Khalej in the Saudi Arabian League ended in a draw. So in this meeting the potential for a win and a draw is wide open for Al Taawon or Al Khaleej.

Apart from that, this match will actually be a good opportunity for Al Khaleej to move up in the Saudi Arabian League standings. The reason is that currently Al Khaleej is ranked 10th with a score of 34 points. Meanwhile, the team in 9th place (Al feiha) and 8th place (Damac) collected 35 points. So if Al Khaleej can win the match against Al Taawon, Al Khaleej can move up 2 places. The reason is that Al Feiha's opponent, who is ranked 9th, will face a very strong team, namely Al Nasr. So it is very likely that Al Feiha will lose. Meanwhile, Damac, who is ranked 8th, will face Al Okhdood. And there is a big possibility that Damac can win or draw this match.

Therefore, if Al Khaleej can win against Al Taawon then Al Feiha loses to Al Nasr and Damac can draw with Al Okhdood. So, Al Khaleej is certain to be able to climb to 8th place in the Saudi Arabian League standings. Therefore, in this match Al Khaleej will definitely try their best to win the match. And I personally will try my luck, and will bet on Al Khaleej.

A really tense match. In this match Manchester City played very well. However, unfortunately there are still many opportunities that cannot be exploited properly. So even though in this match Manchester City managed to dominate the game well. However, in that match Manchester City was only able to score one goal through De Bruyne in the 76th minute. And in that match, the Real Madrid players actually came under quite a lot of pressure from the Manchester City players. Because how could it not be, in this match Real Madrid visits Manchester City's headquarters which will definitely make the game of the Manchester City players better. But fortunately, Real Madrid was able to hold Manchester City to a 1-1 draw and ultimately had to go to a penalty shootout. Then in the penalty shootout round, Real Madrid managed to win. So Manchester City was eliminated in the quarter-finals and Real Madrid managed to qualify for the semifinals. To be honest, at first I thought Real Madrid would suffer the same fate as the previous UCL (losing to Manchester City in the second leg). However, this year Real Madrid proved that Real Madrid is indeed better than the previous UCL.


And in the match between Bayern Munich and Arsenal. In this match, Arsenal had to accept a narrow defeat from Bayern Munich. Actually, Arsenal played quite solidly in this match. However, in the second half, Arsenal conceded through Kimmich's header in the 63rd minute. And until the referee blew the whistle to signal the end of the second half, Arsenal were unable to equalize.

Yes, I also don't understand why Arsenal and Liverpool can lose against teams ranked lower than them in the Premier League. Even though this match is very important for Arsenal and Liverpool. The reason is, as a result of both experiencing defeat, Arsenal and Liverpool are now paving the way for Manchester City to become champions again in the Premier League. So what can you do, now it's happened. So the steps that Arsenal and Liverpool must take now are just to maintain consistency in every match (they must always win), so that the point difference is not too far from Manchester City.

Apart from that, if you look at Liverpool's matches against Crystal Palace and Arsenal against Aston Villa. In that match, Liverpool and Arsenal actually both controlled the game very well. However, the mistake was that the Arsenal and Liverpool players were not able to take advantage of opportunities properly and then lost focus. So with this mistake, Arsenal and Liverpool failed to win. And what surprised me the most, Arsenal and Liverpool were not able to score a single goal against the opposing team. Even though Liverpool usually always scores goals in almost every match, so does Arsenal. However, in this match Liverpool and Arsenal appeared like weak teams.

But even so, this season is still not over. So the competition for the top seats in the Premier League will continue. And of course Arsenal or Liverpool still have potential to overtake Manchester City.

Indeed, the competition will continue until the end of the season, especially since we still have 6 more games to play, so all possibilities can happen at the end of the season, but realistically of course Manchester City's chances of winning the Premier League again are greater than Arsenal and Liverpool who still have difficult matches in their remaining matches this season.

Yes, there are only 6 games left in the season. Maybe if you look at the remaining matches, it looks like Manchester City will win all the matches without much difficulty. The reason is that in these 6 matches the team that Manchester City will face is arguably not very strong, and that team

  • Brighton
  • Nottingham Forest
  • Wolves
  • Fulham
  • Tottenham
  • Westham

So if you look at the quality of the players, it is clear that Manchester City is superior rather than these 6 teams. Therefore, if for example Manchester City is able to win these 6 matches, then it is clear that Manchester City will become Premier League champions again this season. And in my opinion, Manchester City will most likely be able to beat these 6 teams. So, Liverpool or Arsenal will definitely have difficulty and have little chance of displacing Manchester City from the top position.

And maybe now Liverpool and Arsenal just need to hope that a miracle will come. The reason is, the only key for Arsenal or Liverpool to be able to overtake Manchester City again is on condition that Manchester City must lose once in the next match. So that way the opportunity will be wide open again for Arsenal and Liverpool to fight for the top position.

Inter achieved a 2-2 draw against Cagliari. This actually means not 1 point gained for them, but 2 points lost. They will play against Milan on April 22nd and if they win that match, Scudetto will now find its new owner. Inter are currently experiencing the best period for Serie A. I enjoy watching them. I wish they had continued in UCL. Milan's journey continues in UEL.
In that match Cagliari played very well. Even though their defense was continuously attacked by Inter Milan players. However, fortunately Cagliari has a very strong defense so it is very difficult for Inter Milan players to penetrate. Besides that, this is not the first time Cagliari has surprised football fans in Serie A with very good results. However, in matches against other strong teams, Cagliari often surprises them. For example, against Napoli a few weeks ago, the result was that Napoli were held to a draw by Cagliari. Then when they faced Bologna Cagliari could win the match. And a team like Atalanta could also be beaten by Cagliari this season. So I personally wasn't too surprised to see a team as great as Inter Milan being held to a draw by Cagliari. The reason is that Cagliari does have quite good performance. However, the downside is that Cagliari cannot maintain this good performance consistently.

And for the match between Inter Milan and AC Milan, I think this match will be a very exciting match. The reason is that both teams definitely want to continue winning so they can be firmly in their respective positions. However, if you look at the team's current performance, I think Inter Milan will most likely win this match. The reason is that AC Milan is a team that is no less strong. However, in their last 5 meetings with Inter Milan, AC Milan has never won once. Therefore, I believe Inter Milan will definitely win this match. And apart from that, if for example in this match Inter Milan loses to AC Milan, I think Inter Milan still has a big chance of getting the Scudetto. The reason is that the difference in points between Inter Milan and AC Milan is currently very large (14 points). So it will be very difficult for AC Milan to catch up.

Real Betis won their last game against Celta vigo, this match was actually a lot closer than I imagined it would be. And I asked got angry when Nabil Fekir’s goal was disallowed because of offside. I thought almost everyone could clearly see that it was not. I am just happy that the right decision was made. Both teams definitely played well but Celta Vigo should have actually caught one point from this match because they had good chances. finally a win for Real Betis. But I still don’t think they will actually be able to compete for the sixth position of the table. Celta Vigo to get one or two wins because they are still under threat of getting relegated.
Betis' match against Celta Vigo was indeed very fierce. Even though initially I thought the match would be easy for Betis. However, it turned out that Celta Vigo put up very tough resistance against Betis, causing Betis to win the match with a narrow score.

Apart from that, currently Betis is in 8th position in the LaLiga standings and is only 2 points adrift of Valencia who is in 7th place. So next week there is a big possibility that Betis will have the opportunity to move up to La Liga. The reason is, next week Betis is scheduled to compete against Valencia. So if Betis wins the match against Valencia in this meeting, it is certain that Betis will be able to move up to 7th in the La Liga standings. So the point is that Betis must be able to take advantage of this opportunity well. Because if next season they lose to Valencia, I'm sure Betis will have a little difficulty climbing to 7th or 6th place. However, in my opinion, Betis should be able to beat Valencia. The reason is that if you look at the head to head record, from the last 5 meetings the result is that Betis is superior to Valencia by winning 3 matches.

And regarding Celta Vigo, they are currently in an unsafe position in Laliga. The reason is, even though Celta Vigo is not currently in the relegation zone, the difference in points with the teams in the relegation zone is not too far. For example, with Cadiz who are in the relegation zone, Celta Vigo only has a difference of 3 points. So with this, Celta Vigo has the potential to enter the relegation zone, if only Celta Vigo cannot win next week's match. And next week Celta Vigo is scheduled to compete with Las Palmas. I think this match will be a very crucial match for the fate of Celta Vigo. The reason is that if they lose this match, Celta Vigo could be dragged into the relegation zone.

It makes sense to keep the league competitive for the future, I understand that Ronaldo costs a lot and that is why Al-Nassr can't keep getting better and better players, they just can't afford to, but at the same time no matter what they do, they should probably just assume that it would make sense to get more and more players.

Al Nassr will have to let go of Ronaldo before they can recruit more Europe experienced players while paying them high wages. The influence of Ronaldo will make any player coming to Al Nassr to start demanding high salary because they can not be playing for only Ronaldo to be benefitting with high pay. Al Nassr need to work on their defense because they are conceding too many goals for a top club. They do not have any problems with scoring but their defence is not very solid. Al Nassr needs to buy winger too, they do not have to be Europe players but they should be skillful players that can score and supplying the strikers with balls to score too. Al Nassr has already lost this season title because Al Hilal would not let any team to pass them and take the title from them. Al Nassr not starting the season well has caused them the title this season.

The thing between Ronaldo and Al Nassr is even more than this. Al Nassr know they hire some players because of Ronaldo and if Ronaldo leaves Al Nassr maybe they will have problems with hiring more top-level players. Also, Ronalod wants to achieve something he is in Al Nassr and that's why he won't leave soon.
Also, it seems Ronaldo is going to make some investment in Al Nassr, and even his son is playing there, which can show Ronaldo is going to stay and there and even there's a high chance to him to get retire in Al Nassr.



It makes perfect sense to invest and make your child play. He wants to leave a legacy and still make money by making bets and investments throughout Arabia. For me it is a vision of the future and no longer of the player.
It cannot be denied that Ronaldo has a high salary at Al Nasr. But if, for example, Al Nasr releases Ronaldo, I'm sure the Saudi Arabian League will be devoid of fans and will be like before. Because, don't forget, the reason so many European players play in the Saudi Arabian League started with Ronaldo's arrival at Al Nasr. So in my opinion releasing Ronaldo is not the right choice for Al Nasr. Although currently Al Nasr needs more money to find a good defender. However, in my opinion, there are still many ways to overcome the problems currently facing Al Nasr (regarding weaknesses in the back line). One solution is to look for local players who have good quality and skills. Because the proof is that Al Hilal also has many strong defensive players who come from Saudi Arabia. So Al Nasr can also do the same thing as Al Hilal, if they don't want to spend even more money next season. And if Al Nasr chooses that option, I'm sure Al Nasr definitely doesn't need to let go of Ronaldo, but still has a better defender.

Apart from that, Ronaldo also seems to intend to retire at Al Nasr. Because in the news I read, Ronaldo reportedly wants to play at Al Nasr until 2027.

Quote
“Cristiano Ronaldo told the club management before leaving for the Portugal national team camp, that he wants to renew his contract until early 2027. Cristiano wants to play in the 2026 World Cup while he is an Al Nassr player, and then he will announce it retired from football," tweeted Saudi Arabian journalist Ali Al Harbi.

So with this statement, it is clear that Ronaldo wants to end his career as a footballer at Al Nasr. So Ronaldo will certainly not be let go by Al Nasr.

Both Spanish teams have been sent home and disqualified from the quarterfinals of this competition, and while some people may attribute this to luck I strongly disagree on that. In football it’s only about the deserving teams who will always win eventually. As a Barcelona fan who even placed a bet on them today, I am disappointed by their performance. Both the players and the coaching staff were disastrous, and I believe that Araujo's red card was a turning point in the match but it came due and as a result of PSG strength rather than saying luck was beside them. PSG's scored 4 goal and their victory wasn't due to luck at all.

~Snip
Yes, PSG's victory in this match was not due to luck. However, this could be achieved thanks to the hard work of PSG players. Apart from that, at the start of the match I saw the Barcelona players appear confident and were even able to score 1 goal against PSG. However, after Araujo was given a red card by the referee, that's when chaos started to occur in the Barcelona team. After that, the Barcelona players seemed to lose their game scheme and as a result Barcelona conceded 1 goal in the first half and 3 goals in the second half. It is a shame that Barcelona's progress in the UCL has to stop at this time. Maybe after this Barcelona will only focus on the domestic league, because in all competitions Barcelona's journey is over.

Apart from that, Atletico Madrid also experienced a similar fate. They had won over Dortmund in the first leg, but now both lost in the second leg. Completely unexpected.

So that way, in the semifinals PSG will meet Dortmund. In my opinion, in the next match, there is a big possibility that PSG will win and qualify for the UCL final. Because if you look at the quality of their players and also the achievements they can achieve in their respective domestic leagues, PSG is clearly superior to Dortmund. For example, PSG is currently at the top of the French League standings and Dortmund is only able to occupy 5th place in the Bundesliga. So with this fact, I am sure that in this UCL PSG will definitely be able to beat Dortmund and enter the final.

I was surprised when Liverpool and Arsenal lost their matches, respectively, in the Premier League, even when they were at home. I thought Arsenal had changed for good this season, but they want to still repeat what they did last season in the Premier League this season. It will be hard for Liverpool and Arsenal to top the Premier League table because Manchester City will not want to lose to any club in the league again.
Yes, I also don't understand why Arsenal and Liverpool can lose against teams ranked lower than them in the Premier League. Even though this match is very important for Arsenal and Liverpool. The reason is, as a result of both experiencing defeat, Arsenal and Liverpool are now paving the way for Manchester City to become champions again in the Premier League. So what can you do, now it's happened. So the steps that Arsenal and Liverpool must take now are just to maintain consistency in every match (they must always win), so that the point difference is not too far from Manchester City.

Apart from that, if you look at Liverpool's matches against Crystal Palace and Arsenal against Aston Villa. In that match, Liverpool and Arsenal actually both controlled the game very well. However, the mistake was that the Arsenal and Liverpool players were not able to take advantage of opportunities properly and then lost focus. So with this mistake, Arsenal and Liverpool failed to win. And what surprised me the most, Arsenal and Liverpool were not able to score a single goal against the opposing team. Even though Liverpool usually always scores goals in almost every match, so does Arsenal. However, in this match Liverpool and Arsenal appeared like weak teams.

But even so, this season is still not over. So the competition for the top seats in the Premier League will continue. And of course Arsenal or Liverpool still have potential to overtake Manchester City.

You can't  possibly  decide yet because  Realmadrid  might eventually  lose form which might give the advantage  of Barcelona  overtaking  them  but at the same time the chance of this prediction  is still somehow slim.
Barcelona  in their  last few matches had  winnings alot of winning s which is a very good sign of then gaining  and holding firmly  to their ground , although it was a bit late, it was after the announcement  from Xavi  that they picked up a good form and good game play and I don't  think that will still stop him from leaving  the club  but I wouldn't be surprised  if he still wish to stay at the end (it's  decision)
In next Sunday's match, Monday to be precise, both teams will certainly show their best performance. Especially Barcelona will go all out to reduce their point difference in the standings. Yes, Barcelona in the last few weeks has shown that their game has improved quite a bit. I see that there are only a few weeks left for this year's league to end. In this El Classico match, Barcelona must beat Real Madrid. If Barcelona loses or draws in the match, I think it will be much more difficult to catch up on their point difference.
If we talk about predictions and opportunities, Barcelona certainly still has the opportunity to overtake Real Madrid at the top of the standings. But as you say, that chance is very small. The reason is that currently Barcelona is 8 points behind Real Madrid. In my opinion, the point difference could be said to be very large. So in a situation like this, there is a simple scheme for Barcelona to shift Real Madrid's current position, in essence Real Madrid must suffer a minimum of 3 defeats in the remaining matches at this time (in La Liga). Meanwhile, in my personal opinion, it would be very difficult for Real Madrid to lose, especially three times. The reason is, the teams that Real Madrid will face in the remaining matches this season can be said to not be very strong. Perhaps only Barcelona can be said to be the strongest team of all the teams that Real Madrid will face in the remaining matches this season. Even that is not a strong guarantee that Real Madrid can be beaten.

Although Barcelona's performance is currently improving again. However, I don't think that's enough to beat Real Madrid, who always perform well in La Liga. Apart from that, for example, Barcelona was able to beat Real Madrid and the point difference was getting closer to Real Madrid. However, this would be useless if for example after that Real Madrid continued to win in every match. Because as I said, the tough opponent that Real Madrid will face in the remaining matches in Laliga is only Barcelona. And the remaining matches are against other teams, it is very likely that Real Madrid can definitely win the remaining matches. So in essence, Barcelona's opportunity to overtake Real Madrid at the top of the standings will certainly be very difficult.

And regarding Xavi, I think it is very likely that he will still leave Barcelona at the end of this season. Even though the Barcelona players are currently showing better development. However, I don't think this will make Xavi cancel his plans. The reason is that Xavi must have thought carefully about his decision. That's why Xavi announced his decision several months ago.
