Now everything is in the past and what remains is only the legacy of these two players and the rest we can only see the competition between the two in matches that we rarely see. Whoever wins or loses will not affect anything and the most important thing is that being able to see the two GOATs again is every fan's dream.
Yes, let's just wait and see who will win the match which will start tomorrow, both Ronaldo and Messi have certainly prepared good strategies for the duel on the field tomorrow and with the reunion of these two famous players the fans will definitely not be left behind. At the moment. That's all and it's true what you said, winning or losing won't affect anything, at least this can also be used as an event for friendship between the two players. It's disappointing news that we won't witness the long-awaited reunion of two legends this time around. Cristiano Ronaldo is in the recovery phase and won't be participating in the club's friendly against Inter Miami. Al-Nassr manager has confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo will miss the match against Lionel Messi on Thursday. This is not the news we were hoping for, as we've been eagerly anticipating this last dance for quite some time now. news link- https://www.espn.in/football/story/_/id/39428756/cristiano-ronaldo-miss-lionel-messi-showdown-injury-al-nassr-coachI read it and that sucks. I hope that i can see ronaldo to play together with messi in the same field but this also disappointing millions of people in the world who have been really missing messi to play against ronaldo again. I hope that ronaldo will able to recovering from his injury asap. Im not willing to watch the match caused by messi will be playing alon. Messi and ronaldo are my main reason to watch this match and it's quite disappointed me to see this happened. I hope that i will see that ronaldo to face messi again someday. I have no words to say other than my disappointment with the result from this friendly match. Sometimes things happen that shouldn't happen and ahead of Al-Nassr's friendly match against Inter Miami today, everyone who will witness Ronaldo and Messi's grand reunion will have to experience disappointment first. I feel the same as you and this is a disappointment for everyone around the world. It will feel strange if Messi just stands alone on the field without his eternal rival on the field for many years in Europe and this match will become less interesting after knowing that Ronaldo is still recovering from an injury. I don't think Ronaldo can force himself in this friendly match even if he meets Messi and the most important thing is his readiness to defend Al-Nassr in the next match in the Saudi league. As we know, the Saudi League matches will start again this February and this is a tight time and it will be very detrimental to Al-Nassr if Ronaldo is not fit when the competition is held. |

 Maybe we all agree that Conor Bradley was the MVP in last night's match against Chelsea and thanks to his 1 goal and 2 assists, Liverpool won with a landslide score. This young Liverpool star showed his magic and vision as a future right wing-back and although this time he only played as a substitute for Alexander Arnold, his role from the first minute proved his quality. Apart from that, it is possible that in the future he will be a starter in the next match because we know that Jurgen Klopp is currently developing a new strategy which places Alexander Arnold as a midfielder and therefore the right wing back position will be completely filled by Conor Bradley. Well, the future is bright for the Liverpool squad and I think Liverpool will renew Conor Bradley's contract if he continues to provide good performances for the team. |

Barcelona were having a hard time winning and were lucky they were still given the opportunity to experience something they had been waiting for for quite a long time. The narrow 1-0 win against Osasuna was a very important asset for the confidence of the players and even though they were at a disadvantage because Ferran Torres was injured in the first half, in the end they were still able to survive this match without drawing or losing.
Vitor Roque, who was the super sub in this match, immediately scored his debut goal with Barcelona and Xavi's decision to keep him on the bench and introduce him in the second half was very correct. Right after Vitor Roque scored a goal, one of Osasuna's players, Unai Garcia, received a second yellow card which forced him to leave the field.
Even though Barcelona had the superior number of players, they still couldn't increase their advantage and Osasuna actually started to put a little pressure on them after that incident. I think winning like sometimes is not necessarily safe for Barcelona and they have to increase the goal margin in the next match to avoid unwanted results. Once again, congratulations to Vitor Roque who scored the only goal in the match and also became a hero for Barcelona to secure full points at home.
Congratulations to them on winning this one, but to frank, I am not happy with Barcelona's performance overall this season; Look at the points they accumulated, and their position, they are almost seven points behind Real Madrid that is still having one outstanding match, and they are eight points behind the league leaders Girona which is not supposed to be like that for team like Barcelona that we expected to be the top title contender together with Real Madrid. Nevertheless, I think Barcelona is having some internal issues withing the management which might have been the main reason why Xavi announcing his statement to quit his job at the end of this season. Kudos to Victor Roque for scoring his first LaLiga goal in a crucial moment where the goal is needed. He has already proven his quality in team so that even if Xavi leave at the end of the season, his performance will fight for space for him in the team. Everyone must think the same as you and indeed Barcelona has gone off track from the title race this season. It's all because the results are less than satisfactory and whatever you want to do, you won't be able to change something that has already happened. The huge difference in points with Real Madrid and Girona is a strong reason why so far they have slumped so far and everything changed drastically in an instant after what they did last season. The club's internal problems definitely exist and maybe that is also one of the things that caused this. But as a big team, any excuse is sometimes unacceptable and the fans are also very disappointed. Vitor Roque is indeed Barcelona's future striker and therefore he must give a good performance so that next season he can attract the heart of his new coach. |

 Maybe we have often heard that Alphonso Davies' name has been linked with Real Madrid to fill the left wing-back position and the hunt to get him is still ongoing now. However, it is not only Alphonso Davies who is being targeted by Real Madrid and the rumors about Yan Couto have recently been heard quite loudly. Girona's right wing-back has made Real Madrid very interested in him and we know that Dani Carvajal is no longer young and maybe Real Madrid feels that his role is very suitable for Dani Carvajal. I think the two wing-back candidates from Real Madrid are very appropriate, Alphonso Davies with his speed and agility combined with Vinicius from the left wing will be much more dangerous for the opponent's defense. For Yan Couto, he is also quite agile but the most important thing is that he has very good long ball accuracy and that is why Girona players are often spoiled by his passes when scoring goals. At this moment Real Madrid needs more faster players. We all know that Real Madrid is currently in a transitional period and they are moving towards the players who are younger. So to support the young generation from the back, the players will need to be faster. But sometimes only pace is not going to be the solution. If a player can actually give pinpoint accurate passes, sometimes it helps out a lot while on counterattack. So Real Madrid will have to make a choice. Maybe the player with better passing is also not a bad idea. But you can always teach a player how to accurately pass the ball, but not how to run faster than he can right? I think if we talk about the ability to run fast, it could come from talent and also the intense training carried out by each player. Maybe if you have ever seen Real Madrid's physical training sessions where they always wear masks during running sessions then we can know how strong their breath is every time they sprint. This is proof that they are able to maintain stamina and have more flexible movements and I think we also know that each player is also able to play long matches up to extra time because of this physical training. Returning to the topic, Alphonso Davies and Yan Couto are players who were already good in the previous team and if both of them join Real Madrid their performance will be even better. Moreover, if you look at the uncertain vacancies at this time, both of them can compete with other players and fill in as starters next season. |

Manchester City took a quick lead in the first half and Julian Alvarez recorded a brace in this match. Matheus Nunes took part in providing an assist for Julian Alvarez's first goal and for Kevin De Bruyne, he finally started in this match and also provided an assist for Julian Alvarez's second goal. So far, Manchester has dominated the game and it seems that Burnley will have to accept another defeat in this match.
It's certainly not easy, especially for weak teams like Burnley who are currently stuck in the relegation zone and Manchester City who currently need points to be able to compete again with Liverpool in the top flight, so they have to win convincingly, even with more than 2 goals later. Erling Haaland is still on the bench and of course we hope he will also play in the second half and add to his goal collection to become the EPL's top scorer again this season.

In fact, even if Juventus lose, it will only be a temporary result and it is still possible for Juventus to catch up on the points difference if Inter lose. We know that no team is perfect and what Napoli did last season is perhaps something we rarely see. So without reducing respect to the two teams who are competing to win the Scudetto this season, everything is not over as long as the match has not started and also the end of the season is still quite long.
The competition is quite tight, which is what makes people speculate too quickly who will win the title this season, even though there is still plenty of time for Juventus to catch up on the points difference with Inter Milan, so far Inter Milan has really maintained their consistency so they continue to stay on track. That win is what makes people speculate about this club, but keep in mind that there are several clubs that also maintain consistency but at the end of the season they become inconsistent. I know that currently there are only two clubs that deserve to be champions this season, Inter Milan and Juventus while AC Milan doesn't seem to have a chance to catch up with those two clubs, I think it's true what you say about these two clubs competing for the Scudetto This season there is still time to compete and show who will win the title this season. Juventus must correct their mistakes yesterday after getting a draw against Empoli, Allegri must also emphasize his players to be consistent until the end of the season as well as Simone Inzaghi with his team at Inter Milan. I agree with you and indeed sometimes there are teams like that when they succeed in maintaining consistency but instead experience inconsistency at the end of the season. I think there are quite a lot of examples and perhaps the one we remember most from last season occurred in the EPL when Arsenal had a big points lead but in the end they still failed and it was Manchester City who became champions again that season. Milan is not included in the circle of champions and they are still shackled by the inconsistencies they experience so securing the champions league zone next season is the most realistic thing for them at the moment. Each competing team certainly wants the best and these two coaches must emphasize their players to maintain stable performance and what's more, if a key player is injured, it will be a loss they don't want. So the importance of keeping the body fit and strengthening muscle mass must also be considered. |

Hoffenheim have not won their last 5 matches. Their last win was at 08 December 2023 (matchday 14) against Bochum. And the matchdays before is was not good either. Before that, they had their last won at 28 October 2023 (matchday 9) against Stuttgart. They certainly expected more. So coach Pellegrino Matarazzos performance is now viewed very critical. The next game is against Woflsburg. Wolfsburg had also expected more and are now already 9 points behind the international places. And more was also expected from Nico Kovac. The coach of the losing team will be criticised even more and may be sacked soon.
Indeed, the performance of this mediocre team feels strange lately, even though Hoffenheim was in the top 4 at the start of the season, but now as we can see they are one step away from being out of the top 10 in the standings. Decreased performance, whatever the cause, makes it difficult for them to win and instead of winning, they often end up drawing or losing. Obviously this is quite detrimental and I think they will soon return to their habitat at the bottom of the board. Against Wolfsburg is certainly another challenge for Hoffenheim and although the performance of these two teams is not much different, I am quite sure that Hoffenheim will not be able to steal full points in the away match. Even though Wolfburg is below them at the moment, it is very likely that Wolfsburg will win this time. |

Will you bet on this match and will you maybe bet on Barcelona winning?
In my opinion, It will be quite difficult to bet on Barcelona to win, either I should place a bet over 2.5. Although Barcelona can disappoint with their poor performance in games that you don't expect them to, those who supported them are actually strong. In their last game Villarreal, seven odds were given to Villarreal, despite the odd Villarreal defeated them, Barcelona is a team to stay away from right now. If we reflect on the previous meeting in the Supercopa semi-final competition against Osasuna, at that time Barcelona won quite convincingly with a score of 2-0 and even though the chances are still the same for Barcelona to win, we will definitely have doubts because Barcelona's performance is very chaotic at the moment. Betting on over 2.5 goals is quite realistic considering the productivity and goals conceded by these two teams is quite high, so it is the right betting option. In the last few matches, Osasuna has always conceded at least an average of 2 goals and Barcelona with much worse statistics has conceded an average of 3 goals. Of course, it's not without reason that this match is very difficult to predict who the winner will be and at least we have a definite view that in this match there will be at least 3 goals scored regardless of whether both teams score goals or even if only one team concedes that number of goals. |

How surprising was Brighton's defeat against hosts Luton in last night's match and I still can't believe De Zerbi's men conceded 4 goals in this match. Two quick goals were scored by Adebayo and Ogbene and with this advantage it was enough to prove that Brighton's chances of winning were very slim. It didn't stop there, towards the end of the first half, Adebayo scored a brace and at the same time closed a 3-0 lead over Brighton.
Even if Brighton could recover in the second half it is possible that the result would be a draw but it seems that I had too much hope for this team and instead they conceded again and Adebayo recorded his hat trick in this match. Brighton played very badly and perhaps it is true that the absence of a player like Kaoru Mitoma had a complete impact on the creativity of their attack line. Certainly there are quite a few bettors who lose money in a match where it is clear who the winner is and perhaps very few bettors place bets on Luton. Well, congratulations to Luton and at least they still have hope of staying in the EPL this season.
Before the match started, the hope that I had for Brighton was too much. I was thinking Luton Town could not score a single goal, but when the match started, the way the match was going from the first half, I later lost hope for them. All my thought was that since Brighton are in better shape than Luton and they are doing well in their matches when you compare them to Luton Town's, I thought the same victory would happen to Brighton in this match, but they failed to do so. When the first and second goals were scored in the first half, I knew that Brighton were going nowhere because their performance was very bad. They didn’t show anything that would make the fans think that they had hope. Although Luton also used the energy of being at home to concur with Brighton, the result is still too bad for Brighton. I'm actually the opposite and I quite believe that Luton will make it a little difficult for Brighton but it shouldn't be with a crushing score like this. Maybe from Luton I expected that at least they would only score 1 goal but in fact it was chaotic and they never stopped breaking into Brighton's goal. Indeed, we have the same thoughts regarding Brighton's chances of winning, but it seems like they were careless and have fallen too deep. As bad as it is for Brighton, it is impossible for them to lose like this and we also have to accept the reality that in football anything can still happen, including Luton with this landslide win. From now on I will be really wary of Brighton and will not be too hasty in placing bets when they play. All my betting winnings had to be destroyed in this one disappointing match. |

Arsenal are in the Champions League after the last time they joined it - 2016/17 season. It must be a really exciting run for the team and fans both so far.  They were lucky to have a comfortable group draw also and their luck hasn't run out yet. Because they have drawn Porto in this round you know. What do you think? I'm expecting a decent performance from Arsenal. Porto struggled against Barcelona in the group stage. I think Arsenal are in much better condition than Barcelona now. Arteta's system has been working smoothly and Arsenal should be able to reach the quarter finals. Porto are strong in the Liga Portugal but not so much in the Champions League.  Arsenal have been waiting for the big stage of the Champions League for so long and they have failed to make it happen in recent years. Since being handled by Mikel Arteta, everything has become more convincing and Arsenal's philosophy of always using talented young players in their squad has also been continued to this day since the Arsene Wenger era. The match against Porto will certainly be a turning point for Arsenal's performance in this competition and if the Gunners succeed in bringing back the representative from Portugal then they can secure a ticket to the quarterfinals. But it won't be easy and Porto is currently performing quite well in the domestic league, so the current assessment is just speculative. However, overall Arsenal are still above Porto and maybe we will see something different from this match later. Arsenal experienced a gloomy period some time ago and they proved that they are still capable of this competition by returning to winning ways in the domestic league. It's definitely an exciting match and I hope Arsenal don't underestimate Porto. |

Brest has been able to perform quite well in the last few matches. They are already in third place. However, they are not safe there because they are only 1 point different from fourth place and 3 points from Lille in fifth place. Anything can happen in the next few matches. But I think Brest is performing much better compared to last season because now they have the opportunity to get a place in the Champions League even though there are still Monaco, Lille and Reims who can chase their points.
Of course, Brest will really maintain their current advantage and will not just give up the place at the top that they have worked so hard to achieve. Brest is able to prove that every season there will always be a team that is able to be at its best and they have done that so far. Holding PSG's series was not easy and they were also able to stop PSG's winning streak. Maintaining their chances of appearing in the Champions League next season is a realistic target for them through this season and there will probably always be obstacles they encounter before they can reach that place. The next match will be no less difficult for Brest because they will face Nice who are currently right above them and if Brest is able to win then they will have the same points as Nice in the standings. |

Against Augsbrug Harry Kane scored 1 goal. He is still the Bundesliga's current top scorer. Thi is list of 5 names of Bundesliga Top Scorers 1. Harr Kane 23 goals 2. Serhou Guirassy17 goals 3. Lois Openda 13 goals 4. Denis Undav 12 goals 5. Victor Boniface 10 goals Very impressed with Harry Kane's 19 games with 23 goals, an incredible goal productivity. Source: https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/stats/players/goalsFrom the start, we certainly wouldn't be surprised if Harry Kane could score this many goals in one season and the number will continue to increase before the season ends. During his time at Spurs, we also saw him score many goals in one season, but unfortunately he never won a title with Spurs. Serhou Guirassy is still absent from Stuttgart because he is defending his country at the AFCON event, while Lois Openda failed to score in the defeat against Stuttgart the previous week. Apart from that, Sehrou Guirassy's teammate in Stuttgart, Denis Undav, will actually try to surpass Sehrou Guirassy's goal tally after scoring a hat trick in the match against Leipzig. However, for Victor Boniface, he had to step aside after suffering an injury some time ago, so he is increasingly lagging behind the other players in terms of the top scorer list. |

After capturing a really good advantage over Juventus Inter are going to host them this Sunday as well. In case Inter win this game and their absent game both the point gap will go up to 7 all of a sudden. I think Juventus wouldn't be able to catch up with Inter anymore after that. Because Inter really don't look like they will stumble that easy for a long time. Therefore this game is very critical for Juventus side. Allegri couldn't beat them in their previous head-to-head. Here they should be able to get one point at least. But if you ask me about how much I trust them on that I would say not much.  I think it is quite rational that in the end it will be increasingly difficult for Juventus to catch Inter and that is not without a strong reason other than if Inter can beat Juventus in the next meeting. This is a decisive match for the team that has a stronger candidate to win the Scudetto and I don't think Inter will let Juventus walk freely at home. In fact, even if Juventus lose, it will only be a temporary result and it is still possible for Juventus to catch up on the points difference if Inter lose. We know that no team is perfect and what Napoli did last season is perhaps something we rarely see. So without reducing respect to the two teams who are competing to win the Scudetto this season, everything is not over as long as the match has not started and also the end of the season is still quite long. |

The competition between them and their fans are endless so that it even continues when these players already left Europe. So creating friendly matches for them to fight each other again, is a great opportunities for those clubs in marketing and finance.
Let's just wait for the next match on Friday 2 February between Ronaldo and Messi who will meet again in the Saudi La Liga event and this is definitely eagerly awaited by fans of Ronaldo and Messi. Even though Ronaldo has now recovered from the injury he suffered while training with Al Nassar players and will soon return to playing in February. All eyes around the world will be in one place to watch the match between the two greatest players in history and we certainly won't get bored of seeing Ronaldo and Messi on the same field facing each other. Even though this is only a friendly match, it has a huge impact on the world of football and of course this will be a very memorable match seeing as the rivalry between the two players has been going on for a very long time. Moreover, if we follow both of them, it will always be tense to bring each team we are playing for to victory and in Spain we see both players strengthening two big teams. Now everything is in the past and what remains is only the legacy of these two players and the rest we can only see the competition between the two in matches that we rarely see. Whoever wins or loses will not affect anything and the most important thing is that being able to see the two GOATs again is every fan's dream. |

 Looking at the betting odds given by the bookies for Barcelona, this should be a convincing win, especially as they get home advantage in today's match against Osasuna. There is no reason for Xavi's squad to lose again in this match, especially last week when they were humiliated by Villarreal at Camp Nou. Meanwhile, Osasuna, who is still in 12th position, has yet to win again after being held to a draw by Sevilla the previous week. So, this match will be an arena for fighting for points, especially for Barcelona who have not been very consistent lately and they have still not been able to recover after the two previous defeats. The challenge for Xavi must be proven through this match and if they still want to stay in the top 4 then they must win decisively and previous defensive problems must also be corrected so that they don't concede easily. Will you bet on this match and will you maybe bet on Barcelona winning? |

I didn't watch much of the match between Saudi Arabia vs South Korea and the two teams were at almost the same level. When it comes to squad depth, South Korea is better but Saudi Arabia doesn't want to give up just because of that. There were several opportunities where Saudi Arabia almost threatened the opponent's goal and there was one opportunity where it hit the goal post twice, after the third ribbon opportunity the ball went wide out of the field.
In the end, after a series of fierce attacks, Saudi Arabia scored the first goal at the start of the second half and took a 1-0 lead. South Korea were very frustrated towards the end of the match and the opportunities they created were endless to threaten the opponent's goal. Luckily, in the 90+1 minute, South Korea managed to equalize the score at 1-1, which sent the match into extra time.
But it seems that the additional 15 x 2 minutes of time did not result in another goal from either team so the match continued to a penalty shootout. As we know, the result is that South Korea managed to escape with a 3-5 win from the penalty shootout. The South Korean goalkeeper performed very well by saving two penalty kicks from Saudi Arabian players.

There has been quite speculative discussion since last season, finally Antonio Conte has the desire to coach a team again and his choice this time was the right one to become Milan coach. I think it's time for him to return to the world of football after a long hiatus after leaving Spurs. Moreover, Antonio Conte returned to Italy, which is also his home and this is also a comfortable place for him because he can also be close to his family. The challenges of next season await Antonio Conte and I think Milan under his leadership can become a team to be reckoned with to win the Scudetto again. This season will belong to neighbors Inter and maybe next season the Milan duo will compete with each other for the Scudetto. Of course Milan has to provide a transfer budget because Antonio Conte is quite astute in seeing player talent and if the funds are not there it will be difficult to build an ideal squad for him. |
